? ANALYSIS OF MILITARISM. It is a System That l><>es Not Com- C mend Itself to Common Sense. . I ^ A picture which we will have to wait for history to furnish the key is P drawn by Dr. Charles E. Jefferson, si dealing with the spectacle of this cen- j si fury's militaristic display. "Delu- j b sion," he calls it. for the article was o , written before the war clouds rose e above the Servian horizon. Now the w significance of everything is changed, si but the details that make up the pic- w ture still have their salience. He p notes in the role of the historian of ti the future, the preparations made 1) ? for war ever since the century began, tl -especially among the nations which a , , ?fc>nfessed allegiance to the Prince of g v Jeace. He sees that these "prepara- n * * - ?3 Tfi + Vt trn. Ci dions were carneu iumaiu ? mendous energy and enthusiasm, and n that the air was filled with prophetic s: vices picturing national calamities a and predicting bloody and world em- g bracing conflicts." is Alongside this fact the historian of the future will find another fact 11 no less* conspicuous and universal. that everybody of importance in the r' early years of the twentieth century was an ardent champion of 0 peace. In the christian century, Dr. a Jefferson continues: "He will find incontestable evidence that the king of England was n one of the truest friends of peace ? who ever sat on the English throne, ^ that the German emperor proclaimed C i repeatedly that the cause of peace was ever dear to his heart, that the president of thel'nited States was so effective a peacemaker that he won ? a prize for ending a mighty war, ^ that the czar of Russia was so zealous in his devotion to peace that he called the nations to meet in solemn council to consider measures for si ushering in an era of universal amity and good will, and that the * president of France, the king of Italy , miirarift nf .Tanan were not a I 11 aau iuc iu4i\mv.v 1? whit behind their royal brethren in ? offering sacrifices in the altar of the u Goddess of Peace. A crowd of royal 11 peacemakers, in words surcharged % with thoughts and threats, of war, ^ a band of lovers strolling down an ' avenue which they themselves had lined with lyddite shells and twelve 0 inch guns, this.will cause our his- ? torian to rub his eyes. r< His bewilderment, however, will u reach the climax when he discovers that it was after the establishment tj of an international court that all nations voted to increase their arma- ^ ments. Everybody conceded that it g. ; was better to settle international dis- w putes by reason rather than by yi forces, but as soon as the legal machinery was created by means of ^ which the swords could be dispensed ^ with, there was a fresh flurry to per- t feet at once all the instruments of F destruction. After each new peace n conference there was a fresh cry for j more guns. Our historian will read , with gladness the records of The ( Hague conference, and of the laying ^ of the foundation of a periodic congress of nations, and of a permanent high court. He will note the neutralization of Switzerland. Belgium and 4 Norway; the compact entered into by the countries bordering on the North sea, to respect one another's territorial rights forever; the agree- r) ^ ment of the same sort solemnly rati- K 8ed by all the countries bordering on t] the Baltic; the signing of more than tj sixty arbitration treaties, twelve of these by the senate of the United w States; the creation of an Inter- c, national Bureau of American Repub- ^ \ lies, embracing twenty-one nations; t] the establishment of Central American high court; the elaboration and perfection of legal instruments looking toward the parliament of man, ^ the federation of the world. He will also note that while these e: splendid achievements of the peace g spirit were finding habitation and a ic name, the nations were thrilled as b never before by dismal forebodings rt and the world was darkened by whispers of death and destruction. While f< the Palace of Peace at The Hague ri , was being built, nations hailed the t< airship as a glorious invention, be- a cause of pie service it could render Sj to the cause of war. This unprecedentedv growth of peace sentiment, accompanied by a constant increase of jealousy and suspicion, of fear and panic, among the nations of the = parth will set our historian to work tl to ascertain the meaning of this a strange phenomenon, the most sin- a; r gular perhaps to be met with in the e: entire history of the world. ti Peace was seen to be the one su- tl preme blessing of the world, but to b' preserve the peace it was necessary tl to prepare for war. This lay at the b centre of the policy of the twentieth s< century. No guns were asked to kill fi men with?guns were mounted as safeguards of peace. No battleships o , were launched to fight with?they t< were preservers of peace. Collosal f< armies and gigantic navies were ex- w hibited as a nations's ornaments? ii beautiful tokens of its love of peace, u And following thus the angel of ir peace, the nations increased their li armaments until they spent upon a FEEL MUCH ENCOURAGED. Confidence Returning and Belief Ex- j pressed That All Will Be Weli. j That the mills engaged in the I reduction of cotton goods will re- j nine full-time operations within a! liort period is the opinion that is eing freely expressed on the part f manufacturers, apropos the genral clarification of the situation ithin the past few days. True, ime of the large manufacturers ho have been engaged in the exort trade and whose foreign connecons have become partially paraded for the time being by reason of le complications abroad have been pprehensive: but the efforts of the overnment in its determination to taintain strict neutrality and at the ime time aid in developing a great lerchant marine, provide a currency rstem that will facilitate business j nd assist the great crop movements enerally is having its weight, it ? claimed, in bringing about a ream of confidence. Many of those lills that have been running halfnie are therefore getting ready to eturn to full-time operations and tiose that have been arranging to perate on half-time are moving head with the idea of continuing all-time work. This optimistic spirit among the lill men is said to be really one f the most encouraging signs of :ie times. That they should have ?lt nervous apropos the disturbed j onditions abroad ana tne appre-1 ended probability that raw cotton | ould drop and that the inability to j btain ships with which to export aeir goods would entail hardships, as the very natural condition to be xpected, but this belief is gradually isappearing. With the removal of erman, French, Austrian and Rusian competition for trade and Engmd in a measure also and their conersions in large part from produclg to consuming nations, the imroved outcome insofar as America ; now gaining belief and hence the nproved status of affairs. Mills Resume Full Time. Thus, for instance, Mr. Charles W. ohnston, president of the Highland ark manufacturing company, who nlv recently expressed himself very luch at sea as to the situation, as announced that his mills would ?sume full-time operations and that nless something unforeseen interened they would continue on full me. Mr. Johnston has just returnd from New York and expressed imself as better pleased with the ituation there than he expected hen he went North. He made it ery plain that he believed the farmrs are in good financial shape and iat they will have no serious troule in holding back sufficient cotton > be able to command a good price, or some time past, Highland Park lills have been running three days i the week. The news that they perate full-time hereafter is but a traw which shows which way the ind is blowing.?Charlotte News. WAR'S EFFECT OX IXDUSTRY. .uthorities Expect America to Profit by Long Contest.

GRAIN DUST EXPLOSIONS. Same Precaution should Re Taker in Flour .Mills as in Coal Mines. That the same degree of care ex ercised in a mine to prevent the ex plosion of coal dust should be usee in Hour mills, grain elevators anc products factories to guard agains: the explosion of grain dusts is the conclusion reached by experts as the result of a cooperative investigatior made by the millers of the country and the United States bureau o: mines. The milling industry in the lasi ten years has been visited by a ?erie* of mysterious explosions costing sev eral hundred lives and hundreds o: thousands of dollars in property The climax came in June. 1913 when an explosion in a Buffalo. N Y., mill killed 33 men and injurec 70. The millers, realizing that th< bureau of mines men were expert: on coal dust explosions, called upor them for assistance in a complete investigation in order that future catastrophes might be avoided. Da vid J. Price, of the bureau of mines was assigned to the work under the direction of Dr. G. A. Hulett, chie: chemist of the bureau, and Harolc H. Brown represented the millers. The mines experts declare that al dusts containing carbon are explosive under certain conditions and tha immediate steps should be taken te safeguard against such. They de scribe a terrific explosion in a grail elevator and say: "We are forcec to conclude that, if an explosioi with such terrible force and violence could occur at this elevator, then the grain elevators of the country are at al! times subject to the possibility of a similar occurence if favorable conditions exist. Many milling met have maintained a false sense of se curity and have felt that the eleva tors were not especially a source o danger, and that as long as an explo sion did not originate in the grind ing mill proper, they were reason ably safe. This explosion alon< would seem to indicate sufficientl: that the dusts created during th? elevating and storing of grain ar< explosive and dangerous." On the subject of the causes o grain dust explosion, the expert! say: "At the present time in moderi milling plants the use of an opei flame light is poesitively prohibited and is generally regarded as an ele ment of very great danger. Man: explosions have been traced to thii source. The use of gas jets for light ing purposes, the introdaction o lanterns or open lights into graii bins or dust collecting systems an very dangerous. "Many violent explosions have oc curred during mill fires, due to th< presence of dust in large quantities The flames and force from a fire pro duce sufficient concussion to jar th< dust into suspension and initiate i very violent explosion. "A large number of explosions ii more recent years have been tracec to the introduction of foreign ma terials into grinding machines. Par tides of such materials, coming int< contact with the grinding plates o the machines, produce sufficien sparks to cause an ignition of th< dusts. "It is necessary in mills and eleva tors for the workmen to determin< at frequent intervals the amount o ffroin that- tho atnraco hin pnnfflins mvv.mov ? A common practice is to lower a ligh of some kind into the bin to observ< or measure the quantity of grain Many.explosions have occurred whei open lights were used. The desirec results can be obtained by lowerinj a 'tape' with a weight attached t< the end, and the exact measuremen can be recorded. When occasior renders it absolutely necessary tc use a lamp of some kind in a bin. ar approved type of portable electrii lamp could be used. Electric bulb* in dusty atmospheres located neai machinery where there is a possibili ty of the lamp becoming broken, 01 at points in the mill where workmer may strike the lamp, especially whei carrying a projection of some kinc on their shoulder, should be enclosec in strung wire gum us ui piuietiuis and it would be advisable to enclos< each bulb in a vaporproof globe. Ar extra safety feature would be, when ever possible, to locate all fuses 01 light and power circuits, switche: and starting boxes at points when dust is not present in dangerou: quantities." Law Versus Literature. James Oliver Curwood, a novelist tells of an encounter with the law The value of a short story he was writing depended upon a certain le gal situation which he found difficult to manage, doing to a lawyer of hit acquaintance, he told him the plot and was shown a way to the desirec end. "You've saved me just $100," h? exclaimed, "for that's what I'm go ing to get for this story." A week later he received a bil from the lawyer, as follows: "For literary advice, $100." H< says he paid. ELECTRIC DOG CAGE IDLE. i Device at Round Not Found Suitable for Executing Canines. The automatic electric cage for the safe, sane and economical dej struction of dogs, which was purl chased about two months ago by the f~ Society for the Prevention of Cruelty > to Animals, is idle because animals ? under the death sentence do not take t kindly to the fatal trap and as a j rule get all "fussed up" when the f conductor is placed around their necks. The operator is reluctant to t use force for fear of the canine's mo, lars. and as it stands the subjects are given a respite. This respite, f however, is only temporary and will expire with the perfection of a safer and saner device. The cage cost $250 and if a cash j transaction, the society has what , some consider a white elephant on its j hand. It may perhaps be returned to the manufacturers in Baltimore > on the ground that it does not perj form the duties with protection, as advertised. The electrical equipment was purj chased to supplant the old method of f shooting dogs, which was adjudged j a cruelty by those who made a study of the subject, i As it now stands, execution is at a 1 standstill. To the twenty dogs await^ ing the fate of death has been given j an indefinite respite. The dogs seem to be taking life easy, the guests of j the city, and are not worrying over j the high cost of living, j During the past month very few a stray dogs have been captured, as s the city is caring for only those that ~ are absolutely without friends and " dependent on something for a live'.i a nooa.?cnariesion rosi. 1 His Strong Belief.
