land by German manufactures and
exporters. The plan is to estab

Swiss names and then to send out
German goods with Swiss trade

of the war, France and England
put a ban on the sale of German
goods in their territories.
The press of Switzerland al

which German manufactures and
business men are trying to keep on
supplying their customers and hold

have already aroused the Swiss
people. Swiss honesty is disgust
ed with this abuse of hospitality,
The Geneva Chamber of Com
merce has received a protest from
Swiss manufacturers, who refuse
to allow their good name to be
compromised by unscrupulous
neighbors their rivals today, per
haps their enemies tomorrow.
The scheme of the Germans in
Switzerland probably is not re
I stricted to that country. Perhaps
I it would be interesting to keep an
I eye on other neutral nations that

AN AWAKENED NATION.
In oast aces Russia has been
looked upon as a brute, the bully
among nations. No atrocity has
been too horrible for the officials i
and soldiers of the Czar to commit.
Civilization was a word foreign toi
their phraseology.
Little account was taken of hu-j
man lives when they were involved
in the carrying out of a decree of
the Czar. The common masses'
were no more than creatures des-'
tined to exploitation that the gov
ernment might be enriched. The
killing of a few hundred of them '
mattered little in the final sum-'
ming up. I
This condition still held ten
years ago when the nation was at
war with Japan. Civic and econ
omic conditions were chaotic. Dis
order was everywhere and Russia
seemed doomed to dissolution.
There was open hostility toward
the government. Strict guard was
kept over the Czar and other high
officials to protect them from the
rage of the people.
At Petrograd workmen with a
protest to the Czar marched to
ward the Winter Palace. They
were met by a shower of bullets
from machine guns and by Cos
sacks and mercilessly slaughtered.
Little wonder that army recruits
were gathered at the point of the
bayonet f
But ten years have worked a
change. How great this change
is no one knew until the declara
tion of war by Germany. A na
tional feeling of unity was mani
fested when the announcement
came. At once the mobilization for
ar was eagerly begun.
Women are urging their hus
bands and sons into the conflict.

fraud is discovered.
for practical khaki. The army of
an empire of 170,000,000 people is
going into this war in a business
like way that shows a determina
tion of winning.
The awfulness of war is felt In
Russia as keenly as in other na
tions. Peasant and noble alike are
making the sacrifice for a national
ideal. Women of both classes may
be seen intermingled before the
lists of killed that are posted each
day. All receive the news bravely
and uncomplainingly.
One of the most striking fea-j
The last election shows an Im
prorement in discrimination by the
voter. Of course you can't blame
voters getting scared at the amount
of paper they .have to carry to the
booth; though some of Columbia's
election judge's were willing to re
lieve him of that burden by asking
"What ticket do you want?" I re
ceived a sample ballot from Arizo
na soon after the recent election
and it was about the same size as
our amendment ballots. The state,
county and township officers were
placed on it and nineteen amend
ments. The voter was not com-1
pelled to write the name of a can
didate if he wanted to scratch a
party ticket. In voting the amend
ments an hour's reading was not
necessary as the subject of the
amendment was there and that is
all the average man wants to
know. There was also after each
amendment: "If you favor this

Illinois school teacher in testifying

to her farm.
Her answer was literally cor
rect. After running an automobile
as far as possible she left the ma-
chine and waded through water un
til she reached a depth of one and
a half feet; then she gave up the
hope of seeing her farm.
