Will Be No Extra Session
of Senate
Washington, Feb. 27,—Plans
for an extra session of the Sen-
ate to ratify treaties and confirm
nominations immediately after
March 4, have been abandoned.
The foremost of possibilities be
ing considered today was an
extra session beginning proba-
bly on October 1, two months
earlier than the Sixty-Fourth
Congress ordinarily would as-
semble.
Leaders today were agreed
that by assembling about Octo-
ber 1, an early start also could
be made on the remainder of the
Administration program, which
includes the Philippine Bill, the
Conservation Bill, the regulation
of issue of railroad securities
and the ratification of the pend-
ing treaties with Nicaragua and
Columbia. The situation on the
Ship Bill still is indefinite.
Favorable action was taken to-
day by the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee on all of
President Wilson's nominations
to the Federal Trade Commis-
sion, except George Rublee.
That removed one remote possi-
bility of an extra session of the
Senate in March.

The Cost of the War
The year 1914 holds the record
for evil of alt the years that the
earth has lived.
Never since the dawn of time
has there been such calamity
among mortals.
If the flood drowned all but
Noah’s family, yet the entire
population of the globe at that
time propably was not equal to
the number of Europeans slain
in the war of 1914.
The ravages of Alexander,
Tamerlane, the Roman conquer-
ors, the Arabian armies, Charle-
magne and Napoleon, things we
used to read about and wonder
how human beings could ever
have such bioodlust, things we
attributed to the darkness of the
past and deemed impossible now,
are far surpassed by the horrors
of the “far flung battle liAe” of
figure at which is put the direct
war expenditure
The amount of incidental loss
due to the paralysis of commerce,
the stoppage of manufacture,
the waste of crops, and the waste
of property is incalculable.
Belgium, formerly one of the
most crowded and prosperous of
states, is a howling waste, where
a whole people, guilty -of no
crime save self defense, are wan-
dering desperate, starving and
freezing among their burned and
battered homes.
Northern, France, the smiling
garden of Europe is in as deso-
lated a condition.
England is fighting all over the
world. Her disagreement with
Germany has already cost her
$1,125,000,000.
France has been hit even hard-
er. All her industries, save war
trade, have been smitten. In the
region of Lille, Roubaix and
Ypres alone $90,000,000 worth of
machinery has been destroyed
by the invaders.
The war is costing Russia
$350,000,000 a month.
Germany’s loss cannot be told.
She ‘ has sacrificed men and
money with a wild recklessness
which, if kept up any consider-
able length of time, would bank-
rupt the world.

seased are spared. A survival
of the unfittest.
Why?
Simply because that is the
only plan of world government
we have. Is it not inconceivable
that, to settle disputes between
nations, we should have to re
sort to such a monstrously in-
human and wasteful process?
And is it not the plain duty of
the United States to mak^ the
first move toward getting out of
this riot of anarchy, and from its
vantage ground of sanity pro
pose to all nations that world
federation now begin? To do
this would be at least a step
toward ending war.—Capper’s
Weekly.
Strictly to the Point
An amicable disposition linked
with an energetic desire to
please those with whom we live,
smooths over the rough places
that are found in every house-
hold. There are different tem-
peraments with which to contend
housekeeping cares, the demand
of society, and a great many
women have hard, rough work
to do. To perform all these du-
ties and at the same time keep
everything running in harmony
requires patience, tact, and oft
times much skill. Should the
homekeeper possess what isi., ,
known as a bad temper, it be- ® eavycoato
