For adult* aod ckildrrw. Me It would be because every year tie- creases the advantage Germany now enjoys. This is the consideration which has throughout made Ger many's warlke attitude so peculiar ly menacing to the pence of Eu rope., Only last March there was a sharp Journals that Germany attack Rus sia before her preparations were were complete. Only three weeks ago the Germai frown prince fell Into disgrace for giving his public approbation to a demonstration bv a German military theorist that France and Russia would fee able to attack by April. 1914. Russian officers did their part In tbe con troversy, General SukhonilinmT pub lishing an article entitled "Russia wants peace, but does not fear war." saying that the army was ready; "Russia’s preparations may b» ilif- agheeable to those states which har bor aggressive designs.” That Russia's preparations, in cluding a steady increase In a^ray expenditure from $200.000,non in 1904 to $300,000,000 in ft'13. have been ground for uneasiness ir^gker- many is certain, and the recent steff' of increasing Russia’s peace strength by 4.'O.Ooo men at a stroke, bring ing the standing army up to 1,8.15,- 000 men. added to the alarm. -Wi*h power has grown insolence, ,1«ml 1 Germany has heard such language as had not been heard in Europe since Sedan. Certainly hostile feel ings on both sides have beer grow ing rapdly during recent months; If Russia Is unready her leaders have been guilty of a great folly In prematurely tempting fate. What either nation would seek to gain as the fruit of victory ia at tome points problematical. Rusata’a ! most obvious gain would be that the defeat of Germany and Austria would open the way for that ad vance to the Aegean which has been so often put off. and would make Russia once more the heir to Con stantinople. In the event of a very sweeping victory, Russia might even claim some of the Baltic coast, where Prussia stretches a long, nar row strip, which cuts Russia ofi — —If from the sea. But only a catantro- .phlc struggle could bring that about. In the event of German victory, on the other hand. Germany's great ‘V aim would doubtless be to cripple Russian power as long a. time t* possible, as for example by the im position of an enormous indemnify which would push the Russians back into the sloutdi from which they are Just beginning to emerge The Austrian empire would of course be strengthened in th Balkans, and by flattery and fear the victors woul 1 expect to win over Rumania, Bul garia. Greece anti Turkey, Servla being benevolently asiniilated along with Montenegro and part of Alba nia—-the whole unless Italy had bc- vinces, Courtland, Livonia/And Ea- thonia. were colonized' in ancient times by Germans, and today am more German than Russian in char acter. Their seizure would take Germany up to the very ga$ee of St. Petersburg^ and pat the Russian capital, in any future war. at the mercy of an invading army. It. would moreover push back Russia from the Baltic save at a single point, and the presumable emanci pation .of Finland would further cripple Russian commerce. All of these things are among the huge stakes that go on she table if the war game once opens in earnest, but ’they are trifles to what tips future j might have in store for the nations concerned in the greatest war in all history. 30E the prow SHARING STORE THE PROFIT > SHARING STORE Sewemge In the Country. One great problem peculiar to f the rural districts is that of thei proper disposal of poisonous organic' refuse hnd similar wan? murte.*. In the dries, such matter is complete ly and satisfactorily taken care o: j in the modern seWerago system?, ' and thus the city i> enabled to pre- serve a «lehniittess which is its* greatest aid in fighting riisete". When such matter is allowed rt.'rul in the open, as every rur.ti, resident knows, it becomes a swarm-j In.- j !a< e for oflies .and a hot-bed [ fo- di-ease gornie; r pollutes tV roil and drinking water, and is r.’.- wi:' - s r.u unsightly and embarrass ing nuisance. Such conditions are generally the cause of sickness and disease. The Sanitary Septic • Tank, espe cially along approved lines for use in the rural districts, and manufac tured by Weston 4e Broker. Colum bia. 9. C., completely solves the problem of sewage disposal for the rural home. It is of small size; made of re-inforced concrete; sim ple. easy to Install, never gets out of order or needs attention. Placd Just beneath the surface, and con nected with the house by a abort pipe line, it securely keeps the pois onous organic matter enclosed un til. by natural processes. It dinin- tegrates, and then keeps out into the ground, harmless mineral matter and water. There is no odor, no soil pollution. Approval by health authorities. Its cost is small. It affords al! the conveniences and the full pro- tecilOft of the icity sewgrage sys tem.
