WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
Waco Morning News: Our minis
terial friend, John Strauss of iRobin
son, and our Socialist friend, J. L.
Hicks of Waco, agree that the blamo
for the European war rests upon the
commercial classes, that not German
militarism, but commercial rivalry, la
the cause of the war.
That Is a rlew generally accepted,
but is It true?
The men at the head of the big In
dustrial enterprises of Germany are
intelligent and far-sighted. They know
that war means waste and ruin which
their own enterprises must suffer.
Why then should they urge the nation
on to war?
The officials of the great German
merchant marine know that war me.uns
exposing their fleets to capture and
destruction, not to mention the Inter
ruption of traffic Why then should
they want war?
The heads of every great manufac:
luring concern In Germany which does
an export business know that war
means the Interruption if not the de
struction of their business. Why then
should they want war?
Kven the small manufacturers who
supply the domestic trade know that
war means the stoppage of production,
the disorganization of their labor or
ganization and the destruction of con
sumers. Why then should they want
war?
The bankers, credited with being the
shrewdest and most far-seeing of all
business men, know that war means
wholesale destruction of property and
life, the wiping out of security for
debts and the impairment of the pro
ductlve resources of the nation. Why
they should want war?
Take them the world over, and bus!
uess men are opposed to change, es
pecially to violent and sudden change.
As a rule they stand firmly for the
present order, for the status quo. They
dread upheavals and convulsions of
i any and all kinds social, political or
economic.
. . Next to the soldiers who love their
"lives, the greatest losers of the pres
cnt war are the business men of the
nations involved. It. has always been
so. We need go no further back than
to our civil war to find evidence of the
, extent to which war bankrupts the rich
and prosperous classes.
Armament manufacturers, army con
tractors and the like, we may admit,
-want war; but to credit them -with re
sponsibility for war Is to attribute to
them powers greater than they pos
sess. Nor can It bo denied that soma men
rise to wealth and power through war,
but as a rule these, few in number,
were without influence in bringing on
the war.
This is not Intended as a denial of
the "economic interpretation of his
tory." We merely raise the question,
is It logical to place the entire respon
sibility for war on the shoulders of the
men whose 'business is Interrupted or
destroyed by war?

EIGHTY. PERCENT OF FIRES PRE
VENTABLE State fire marshals, the federal au
thorities and fire prevention experts
gr-nerally have estimated the propor
tion of fires due to preventable
causes at. between 25 and 50 per cent
of the total number of fires. Tho
Texas state Insurance board, an offic
ial body, holds that practically 80 per
ctnt of the fires are preventable by
(he exercise of reasonable care and
protection. Individual and municipal.
These figures of the Texas board
'nre the more interesting because they
" "cover every fire reported to it by the
Vocal authorities under the provisions
of the state law since December 1,
1M0, now totaling 31,000, This Is the
largest mass of official data available,
and furnishes a sufficiently broad basis
of average to be conclusive, while the
fact that it is furnished and tabulated
by local and state, officWs puts It In
a different, class from statistics col
lected, by the "Insurance companies,
w hJch might be suspected of drawing
conclusions to suit their own inter
ests. In fact, the state authorities go
ijuucU further, than the insurance men

In estimating the proportion of fires
that are preventable '
Of 14,172 dwelling fires, the Texas
ioard holds that 8C.7 per cent were
due to preventable causes, and of the
10,828 fires in all other classes except
cotton gins and automoblleR. whl.'h
j are exciu(led becaulse they burn fl0m
luuereui causes, me uoaru noiuw that
70.3 per cent were preventable. Com
menting on these figures the Texas
board says.
"It will bo noted In the data herein
presented that more than 18 per cent
of all fires charged to the dwelling
class alone, from known causes, are
the result of defective flueB. The un
safe installation of stoves and other
heating devices In that class of risks
Is responsible for 11 percent of losses,
while sparks on roof produced more
than 5 per cent of dwelling fires. The
even-present menace of the shingle
roof Is In evidence on every hand, and
particularly Is it noticeable In almost
every cause shown carrying a heavy
percentage of losses. It will be noted
that gasoline and other volatile fires
are entered with a loss ratio in all
classes entirely out of keeping with
conditions as they should be, due al
most entirely to Improper storage and
careless handling of those products,"

AID FOR WA.R VICTIMS.
An international movement for the
relief of the distressed wives, children
and other relatives and dependents of
soldiers involved In the world war has
been organized and Is conducting a
campaign for funds with which to car
ry on the Mercy Work.'
The effort is being made by the
Committee of Mercy which has its
headquarters at No. 33G Fifth Avenue
building, New York.
The president of tho organization Is
the Hon. Ellhu Root, II. S. senator
from New York. Its treasurer is Au
gust Belmont, to whom contributions
may be forwarded. Tho plan has tho
endorsement of President Woodrbw
Wilson, who, consistent with his atti
tude of neutrality, recognized the ne
cessity for a movement to relieve the
non-combatants of all nations involved
in the struggle.
The field of the Red Cross is to min
ister to the sick and wounded sol
diers. The mission of the Committee of
Mercy is to help those left behind by
the soldiers. Relief will be given to
such, no matter where they reside..
The vast number In tho United
States will 'be aided as well as the In
digent and suffering In the theater of
the European war. .,

Skelly emitted a sound like that of
an unmuffled motor. Then be slammed
down bis glass and gasped like a fish
out of water.
"I'll be dodgasted if I will!" said
be.
Mrs. Skelly did not movo an eye
lash. "The class meets at the
Finches," she proceeded, "and your
Tuxedo will be all right,
"Dancing class at my age!" Skelly
roared. "Why' not marbles? Me tie
myself up In ' bowknota doing the
tango when I ought to be dandling my
grandchildren on my knee telling
them stories of the war 1
"You haven't any grandchildren, and
as your son is only fourteen, you
don't have to worry about that for a
while," remarked Mrs. Skelly. "And
there is no sense in our being back;
numbers when every one else is do
ing such things. And I want to learn
the one-step tonight. It is great fun.
Besides, I promised that I'd Join."
"Why did I ever get married?" Skel
ly demanded hotly of the chiffonier,
as he incased himself in the Tuxedo.
"Why doesn't a man ever appreciate
his freedom when he bus it, I'd like
to know? Why didn't I stay down
town with Powett, when he asked me,
instead of coming home to pass a
happy evening in the bosom of my
family? Dragged out of my comfort
able chair to make an Idiot of my
oelf "
"The electric has come," said Mrs,
Skelly, peering from the window.
"Come along, Arthur."
"What chance has a man got, any
how?' Skelly demanded furiously of
five other men in the dressing room
at the Finches. "No chance at alf!"
The other five agreed tumultuously
and gloomily.
"I feel like a fool," Skelly said, as
they surged in before the teacher,
with their wives. "I think age should
be dignified. , Any pictures of the
tango that. I've seen show the people
climbing chandeliers or sliding on
their shoulder blades. I put it to
you, Emily, would I look well sliding
on my shoulder blades? Would you
like to have our son see me doing
it?"
"Miss Grlppy," Interposed Mrs. Skcl
ly sweetly at this point in the mono
logue, "my husband, Mr. Skelly."
"Some looker," commented Skelly,
with a show of interest. "Is she te
teach us? Why didn't you intimate
something to that effect sooner?
Cracking good ankles, hasn't she "
"Arthur," said Mrs. Skelly severely,
"you're supposed to be' listening to
what she's saying!" ;
"All speech is not verbal," insisted
Skelly. "What's that she is Baying
about a grapevine? It sounds compli
cated."' The rest' of the class' managed to
master the grapevine step shortly, but
Skelly had a terrible time, It was
necessary for Miss Grippy to give him
a fpecial, personal lesson twice be
fore be permitted the class to go on
to the second movement of the one-
Btep.
"One-two-three-four," he gasped to
Mrs. Skelly. "Are there curls flowing
over my shoulder, and do I see my
nurse waiting for me in the hall with
my tippet and overshoes? Look at
Finch grabbing the teacher for a sim
ple one-two-three-four I won't stand
for Buch monopoly! Teacher's' pet!
I want her to show me the drag
step!"
"Anybody with sense could do the
drag step without being shown,"
growled Finch. "If you think this one
step is so hard wbatchu going to
do when it comes to the tango? There,
are 64 steps and I bet you never learn
'em!"
"Bet I do!" said Skelly warmly. "I
don't know that you and the others
have anything on me when it comes
to a simple matter of memory! Why,
I was the best dancer in the crowd
when I was a boy! Took up every
new dance the minute it came out,
and I guess these new fangled things,
aren't so very different from the old!
Learn 'em? Pooh! Bet I get the tan
go down before you and the other
fellows have had time to cross your
feet once! And at that I'll bet you'll
cross 'em the wrong Way!"
"Oh, stow your brag!" said Finch.
"Watch me! Light on my feet
what?"
"ften't learn it! Pooh!" Skelly said
to Mrs. Skeily on the way home. "Why,
did you hear what Miss Grippy said
to me? Said 1 was getting the one
step better than any one 'se in the
class! Isn't there another lesson for
a week? I think that's too long a
time to wait.' Don't you? Say, Emily,
what are you laughing at?"
Wireless Waves Bother Birds,
Wireless telegraphy has done much
for us, and probably or rather, surely
will do a great deal more for the
benefit of humanity at large. ' But, if
they could speak, many birds would
probably tell you that they don't ap
prove of this new invention In the
least. For in the parts of the world
where there are a large number of
wireless stations observations have
been made which seem to indicate that
birds au disturbed 1b a very curious
way by th wireless waves. The un
offending seagull is one of the chief
sufferers, as also is the harmless
dove. 'This strange state of things is
attributed in some way to an effect
of the ether waves, though how it is
brought about is not yet understood.
