Jt now seems probable that the report of the destruction of
the British super-dreadnaught Audacious bya German mine is
correct, assuming which, it must be admitted that the loss of the
battleship is the most serious blow the British navy haa yet sus-

tained in the war,

Yet its effect on the final outcome is negligible.

Losses of ships in minor engagenents, or through the use of sub-
marines and mines, must be expected by the British, whose war-
ships must expose themselves to danger in keeping the trade
routes open and in protecting communications with the army in

France and Belgium.

foo much importance should not be attached

to the result of land or s2a skirmishes, whether favorable or not.
As the Star says: ‘“Ihe main strategy of the armies is seldom af-
fected by these encounters, which are often bits of clever playing
to the galleries, sometimes deliberately intended to divert notice

from the other more important aspects of the war,

Up to date,

the great features of the world struggle have been the ravaging
of the little Belgian territory, the defeat of the German attack upon
the defences of Paris, the failure of the Germans to capture the
Eastern littoral of the English Channel, the steady progress of the
Russian forces against Austria and Germany, and the successful

control of the seas by the British

fleet during the early days of the

war enabling the transportation of ‘troops and army provisions to
the theater of war trom the four quarters of the globe.”’

_ Chances and Dollars
“The really great rewards
come from-chanees, He who
will not take a chance can searce-
ly hope for the reward, But see
to it that yor HAVE a chance.
Great rewards do not come from

tuking chances BLINDLY. -
Now, take the average man,
and the average woman, with a
little independent income. You
can smother your mouey in gav-
ernment bonds at 2 per cent; you
can starve your dollars in the
cold storage of the savings bank
on areturn of 8 per cent, which
no banker would take unless
forced to do so by Federal law;
you can put your funds into a

‘house or a cottage and worry
yourself sick with repairs and
taxes, fire insurance and water
rate; you can buy an interest in
a store or a business and put
your interest at the mercy of a
partner or a manager who may
or may not disappoint you; or you
can take your dollar by the seruff
of the neck and put it out to work
in the open, out where if it does
gueceed you will keep hearing
from itin dividends undreamed
of--if you let it take a chance.
And when yon send your dollar
out on the firing line of business
in the big battle of businss, you’re
making it do just what you did

yourself when you started out in|’

life away from your father’s
vine and fig tree to hustle and
struggle, win or lose, as best you
could, And have you ever stop-
ped to think that a man’s money
is like the man whose it is? If
you'are a miser and poke your
- qoney in a gock—then your dol-j;
lar will be'a miser too and hide
ita diminislied head and stay just
‘Hike it was before you put it)
there >
‘If you are a fool and go play-

ing hide and: seek with opportun-

ity, treating the world like a
game j of tag, helter-skelter, hith-
er ard thither, round and round
like a ‘mouse in 8 jar of oxygen—
then. wilt your ‘dollar spin ‘and

the characters and the habits of
those who possess them.

Do unto your dollar as youl,

would have your dollar do unto
you.

There are four kinds of dollars,
First the kind that get busy and
do things—dutiful dollars,

Second—scared dallars—dollars
afraid—coward dallars—these be-
long to timorous people; let's call
them doubtful dollars.

Third—dollars that don’ t~dol-
lars that won’t—dollars that can’t
helpless—drone dollars.

Fourth—bad dollars—gone dol-
lars—dollars you've spent—
dissipated—lost—wicked dollars
past redemption. THE ONLY
DOLLAR YOU CAN’T DO
ANYTHING FOR IS THE DOL-
LAR YOU HAVEN'T GOT.

Therefore, think of your dollar
as a part of yourself—think of it
as that much of your life, as the
unit measure of the work you've
done, the reward of dead labor
having within it the germ of un-
told possibilities and hopes for
future achievement if you make
it take your place and do in a
smali way whakyou’d do in a big
way if you could take its place.

I believe this is the anly right
way to think of money.”’
