MALADY WORST EVER KNOWN IN COUNTRY Federal Quarantine Extended over Four States Against Foot-and-Mouth Disease. The worst outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease ever known in the United States is the department of agriculture's estimate of he live stock epidemic which has forced Federal quarantine ever siv states and threatens a temporary reduction of the notion's food supply. An emergency appropriation by Congress may be required to finance the campaign to suppress the epidemic. Officials say it would be a week before they could forecast the extent to which the food supply would be affected. They are inclined to believe, however, that the shrinkage will not be large and every possible effort will be made to remove handicaps upon the movement of live stock. The quarantine does not prevent the shipment of stock from unaffected districts to slaughter houses within the quarantined area, and there is no embargo against the shipment of dressed meat. New York and Maryland have been added to the list of quarantined states. Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and Pennsylvania. In addition, restrictions have been placed upon interstate shipments from Ohio, although no cases have been found in that state and if no infected stock has been sent into Ohio the embargo will be lifted. Disease more virulent than before. Not only has it already spread over an extensive area, but its virulence seems to be above the average,' said a department statement. 'Vigorous measures will be necessary to stamp it out. The cost of suppressing the last outbreak in 1908 was estimated at $299,112.10. In addition, the loss to dairy and stock raisers was heavy. Insterstate shipments of cattle, sheep and swine are absolutely prohibited from the states now quarantined. stock cannot even be sent from one infected state to another. The Federal authorities are at present engaged in endeavoring to ascertain the exact area over which the infection has spread and, as soon as this is known it will, it is hoped, be possible to lift the quarantine from sections now included in it. The discovery of 600 infected cattle in the Chicago stock yards today was regarded as the most serious development in the situation. The outbreak in New York occurred among half a dozen herds in the Buffalo stock yards. The disease was brought there, it was believed, by a shipment of nine carloads of cattle from Niles, Mich., the place of origin of the present epidemic so far as known. One herd was found infected at Senaca Falls, N. Y. In Maryland the diseased cattle were discovered at Hagerstown. Inspectors of the department traced the cattl from Chicago. The same shipment left some diseased cattle at Greencastle, Pa., where another affected area now exists. In addition to the Greencastle area in Pennsylvania one exists in Pittsburgh and several in the southwestern part of the state. These include herds near Lancastr York, Littitz, and Herrville.

PARIS, Oct. 19 (by Mail to New York),—The American Hospital here, where wounded soldiers of all notionalities are taken care of is admittedly the best military hospital in France. Located in Neuilly, just outside the walls of Paris, in one of the prettiest residence districts aboua the city this institution, at the head of which is Ambassador Myron T. Herrick, and a group of millionaire Americans, is asking care of some 400 patients. There are French and English, Germans and Austrians, Algerians, Hindoos and Senegalese and each patient declares he has drawn the Grand prize in the lottery of hospitals. I confess frankly that I visited the hospital expecting to see the fad of a group of rich citizens of the United States residents in Paris. I expected to see a certain amount of good being done, of course, but after the fashion of the dilettanis. I expected to find a "nice" place run in a "nice" way. "nice" soldiers, more or less wounded, were being treated by "nice" doctors in the nicest way possible. In short I expected to find a plaything of the "dle rich"—that is the charge most often made against the Americans residing in Paris—a new toy an amusement of a kind that is different. What I really found was the unexpected. I was led through one of the most up-the-minute hospitals extant, conducted on most modern lines, by the most business-like of men. And the patients are plain soldiers, the unwashed campaigners of all the armies, officers and men getting precisely the same care. The American ambulance is the name given this annex to the regular American Hospital. It is in a new school building which the government took over at the beginning of the war. The American Colony here asked that it be turned over to them for use of a hospital, all the expenses to be paid by Americans; the government acquiesced. Five weeks ago the building was not quite finished. Brink and mortar and debris were everywhere. The windows had not been put in; disorder reigned. Now the establishment is a model o efficiency and order. In a basement room where no kitchen was supposed ever to be, a model kitchen has been installed, the kitchen stoves and other machinery from the Hotel Carlton here having been transported bodily to the hospital. There is a dining room for convalescents; an other for the personnel of the hospital; there are perfectly managed store rooms; a refrigerating plant; another where water is sterilized by ultra-violet ays American elevators have been built in, one for freight, one for patients; these were completed in five days. In Neuilly, the patients are admitted to the hospital and given a first examination. Those whose condition permit of it, are given a bath for most soldiers in the field stand badly in need of water. The badly wounded are washed as well as possible and put to bed for a short rest Next comes the operation if necessary, then follows the daily care of nurses and physicians. Lastly the dentist visits the patients. Their teeth are filled or pulled: AGITATORS ARE LEAVING TEXAS Lone Star State People Getting Tired Of The Undesirable Citizeng. Listed as "undesirable aliens by the federal department of justice today, are names of many Meixcans prominent in the day of Diaz and Huerta. This city has always been largely Mexican and here many revolutionary plots have been hatchel. The latest break between Villa and Caranaz resulted in unusual activity in local Mexican political circles. Then came the announcement that federal agents were determined to resort to deportation and extradition of all Mexican regugees believed to be aiding either by counsel or money in sewing revolutionary seeds in Mexico. A general exodus followed and today the gahering places hereforehronged with one-lime prominen Mexicans were noiceably quie. Dr. Urrutia, former Huerta cabinet member has left the city. Several others have also purchased tickets for out of Texas points. A clean up in El Paso is also in progress. The report that the followers of Carranza were likely to demand the extradition of those who pledged allegiance to Huerta and were suspected of connection with executions in Meixco City hastened the departure of several prominent Mexicans. their gums treated. Some of the solders for the first time hear a lecture on the subject of tooth brushes and learn what it is to have a mouth full of clean and well taken-care-of teeth The dentists who perform this free service are among the best known in th world. When the soldier-patients are able to sit up, during pretty weather they recline in easy chairs upon a flat roof and drink in the sunshine. They admit they are spoiled; petted like children. And among them are Arabs whose only idea of luxury is a bit of canvas stretched under a palm in the edge of the Great African Desert. The Board of Dirtctors of this hospital are American business men whose homes are in Paris. There are five of them and once every five days each director becomes officer of the day when, donning the white suit of an interne,he superintends the work of the entire institution. The physicians are American and French, whose names are known in two hemispheres. The nurses are mostly rich American society women and girls, some of whom have won their diplomas. Some of the wealthiest women in Paris, however, are daily serving their apprenticeship as nurses by rolling bandages and doing other humble work. I went the rounds of the place with a French army surgeon. He entered the building with the air of a man who has notnig to learn. He left it filled with great admiration. As he went away he remarked in a tone which seemed to carry just a trace of resentment: "It is a shame that here in our own country we must come to you Americans to find out how a military hospital should be conducted!" Tulip Bulbs Should Be Plansed In The Late Fail Tulip bulbs that are expected to brighten the lawn in the early spring must be planted in the late fall after heavy frosts or light freezes have checked vegetation. On the fortieth parallel they should be planted about the first week in November, and farther south a little later. These plants are adapted to out-of-door culture in all parts of the Unitted States where the weather is cold enough to freeze the soil for a few weeks in the winter and they should be planted about a month before the ground is liable o freeze up. Other "Holland bulbs" such as the hyacinth and narcissus should be planted at the same time as the tulip. The United States department of agriculture's specialist considers that tulips are most appropriately planted among shrubbery where they may remain permanently. In general they are used to advantage in formal beds or in borders on the lawn. The best soil for the tulip is a light loam soil. The soil should be well drained and sand is better than clay. In clay soils it is desirable to set the bulbs on a layer of sand, to insure drainage, while in very heavy soils the sand should completely surround them. They do best in a rich soil but manure should not come in contact with the bulbs. It is best applied to a previous crop. When fertilization is necessary at the time of planting, well-rotted manure compost should be used. The soil should be put in excellent condition. Tulips should be set four inches ceep while hyacinths and narcissus should be set six inches, in all cases measuring to the bottom of the bulbs. Care should be taken to have the bulbs of any variety of a uniform size and to set them at a uniform depth as on this depends uniformity in time of blooming. As soon as the surface of the groun freezes to a depth of two) or hree inchest, he bed should be covered with coarse manure to prevent alternate freezing and thawing and also to prevent freezing below the bottom of the bulbs and so prevent the formation of roots during the winter. As soon the freezing weather is over in the spring the mulch should be removed, at least the coarser part of it. After blooming, the naturalized plantings need no further attention except when replanting becomes necessary, which in the case of tulips would be in about three years and of the other bulbs about five. Bedded bulbs should be left as long as possible before digging so as to ripen them. They are ready when the foliage begins to die. If necessary to dig before ripe they will deteriorate more rapidly than if well ripened. After digging, dry in the sun until the tops are well cured, take off all the leaves, store on shallow trays, where mice and rats will not trouble till the following autumn. May be Raised Indoors. Not only are tulips and other bulbous plants attractive around the lawn in early spring but they are also most satisfactory for indoor culture during the winter. They should be used in separate pots rather than in window boxes. Holland bulbs such as the narcissus, tulip, and hyaenth, are practically the only plants vOL. 33 NO. 37. that will flower satisfactorily in the house with ordinary care. About the only plant giving similar satisfaction is the bagonia, according to the department of agriculture's, specialist who has experimented with many varieties. The essentials for growing bulbs indoors are that they shall become thoroughly rooted before the tops are permitted to grow. This is done by planting the bulbs in soil either in pots or what florists know as "pans" which are shallow porcelain pots, or in boxes. These bulbs are then put in a cool place in the dark, for a period of two to six or eight weeks, or even longer if desired. They should be left there until the roots are well started. In the case of bulbs planted in pots, he pos may be inverted and gently tapped, when the bulb and soil will come out in a mass. When the bulbs have been sufficiently long in the pots, the earth in the bottom of the pot will be completely covered with rootlets. The bulbs should then be brought into a slightly warmer place with some light for three or four days and then gradually brought into greater warmth and full light. During all the period of growth the ground should be kept moist without being water-soaked. Narsissi take about five weeks to develop from the time they are brought into full light. Hyacinths take a longer time and tulips about the same time as hyacinths. The Roman hyacinths come in a little less tice, while the paper-white narcissus only takes about four weeks. It is hard to hold the paper-white narcissus for late winter. The hyacinths and tulips are hard to bring into bloom before February. The various forms of the yellow narcissus can be brought into bloom from December until the time for outdoor blooms by starting the bulbs early in the fall and bringing them into the light at intervals of a week or ten days. For the earliest bloom it is desirable to get the bulbs started in October, and all of the bulbs should be planted before the middle of November. Tulips require special care and attention. It is best to place the pots or pans in a box and cover the whole pot with at least two inches additional soil or ashes, and leave them there until the bud has pushed clear above the pot, otherwise the blooms will be strangled in attempting o ge out of the bulbs. Instead of placing in the cellar, these pots and boxes may be buried in the open ground, the pots being covered with four inches of soil. In localities wher the ground customarily freeezs hard, a heavy coating of manure should be added as soon as the first crust freezes over the bulbs. This layer of manure will prevent their freezing and will permit the bulbs to be removed to the house from time to time as needed. The hyacinth, paper-white narcissus and especially the Chinese sacred lily are frequently grown in water. Special glasses for these bulbs may be purmhased in which they may be successfully grown, or they may be placed in any attractive dish and supported by pebbles. The water should be kept so that it touches the bottom of the bulb. The Pioneer Press Devoted to the Moral, Religious and Financial Development of Humanity.

Drawer 869, and Bell 'Phone 60K, Martinsburg, W. Va. Due to his great victory over three opponents in the State of New York, District Attorney and Governor-elect Whitman looms large as a presidential possibility in the year 1916. It goes without saying that former United States Senator Foraker receives much satisfaction when he views the political reverses which now surround his former friend, the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt. Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, will doubtless take much satisfaction out of the results of the recent election, his propheces relative thereto being verified with almost precise accuracy. With the defeat of the Hon. Frederick Stevens, of Minnesota, a noble and fair minded Republican, there will no longer be found a colored private secretary to a congre-sman in the House Office Building, a Mr. McCracken, a brainy man of color, having performed that duty for Mr. Stevens The reason Congressman-at-Large Howard Sutherland was sent back to Washington for a term of two more years, dating from March 4, 1915 is because he attends to his business and serves his constituents in a highly acceptable manner. His popularity in this State is undeniably attested when one scans over the handsome majority he received, and that too, in the face of the fact that his opponent was a very strong man. Owing to the prevalence in various sections of the United States, of a malignant disease, known as the "foot and mouth disease", which attacks horses, cows and hogs, government and state officials are using all the means possible to stamp it out throughout the United States. If the public will heartily cooperate with the authorities, it ought not to take so long to eradicate this animal scourge, because they are disinfecting, quarantining and slaughtering and burning the carcasses of infected animals wherever they are found. Through the thoughtfulness of Mr. H. H. Winters, teacher of agriculture in Storer College, Harper's Ferry, the editor of the Pioneer Press has been permitted to see a copy of a letter sent Mr. Floyd Ross, of Richmond, Virginia, Grand Worthy Chief of The True Reformers, by Mr. H. L. Bishop, Division Passenger Agent, of the Southern Railway, in Richmond, relative to the treatment of, and accommodation for colored people on the York River Line between West Point and Baltimore. Mr. Bishop's letter shows he is mindful of the wants and needs of Negro patrons of his line, and that efforts are being made to improve the conditions for colored passengers on York River Line boats. Grand Master Ross is to be commended on behalf of the race, but the pity is, that in a Republic, where all are said to be free, special requests have to be made for privileges due us as decent and respectable citizens.

October, as its name indicates, was the eighth month in Romulus' calendar, but was made the tenth of Numa and continued by Julius Caesar, and so retained to the present day. October was sacred to Mars to whom a horse, termed October Equus, was annually sacrificed, because the horse is a warlike animal. A race was run with chariots drawn by two horses, previous to the sacrifice, and the one that won was adjudged to be the victim. OBLIGING Representative Crosser of Ohio does not believe in long speeches or sermons, and said of a long winded preacher whom he knew: 'This preacher, one Sunday, gave his congregation a lengthy discourse on the prophets. By the time he had reached the climax of his sermon, one of the congregation was drousing. The preacher, raising his voice until it penetrated every corner of the church, exclaimed: "Where shall we place Hosea?" The sleeper roused himself partially, and yawned, and the preacher fairly shouted: "I say, where shall we place Hosea?" By this time the sleeper was fully awake, and, taking his hat in one hand and rubbing his eyes with the other he started towards the door, telling the preacher, in a loud voice: "Hosea can have my seat. I'm going home." A NOVELIST REBUKED The late George Alfred Townsend ("Gath") the journalist, was lunching in New York one day when a novelist present began to growl about marriage. Gulping his beer and bolting his boiled beef and cabbage, the novelist, in a long harangue proved conclusively that marriage was a failure. When he had finished, Townsend gazed at him mildly and said: "I tell you what it is, sir. When a man thinks marriage a failure, its pretty blamed certain that his wife thinks so too. A MATHEMATICAL PKOBLEM Little Marion was busy studying her lesson. After a great many frowns and much nibbling at her pencil, she looked up and said: "The only answer I can get to this example is 5 horses. Do you suppose that is right, mamma?" "Well I don't know," answered her mother cautiously. "It sounds rather queer." (A long pause.) The small arithmetician's face lit up with a smile. 'Oh I know,' she said, "I'll reduco the three fourths into coats." MUSIC TO CHEER HOTEL APPETITES MUSIC TO CHEER HOTEL APPETITES LONDON, Nov. 10.—One of the biggest hotels in London plans frequent musical concerts in an effort to make the guests' appetite improve and dispel the gloom of war. An official of the hotel today said that whereas some care-free Americans were able to eat 37 shilling dinners, it was a general thing among the English guests scarcely to go aobve 7 shillings. TURKEY WILL BE A CHANGED COUNTRY It Doesn't Matter Which Way The War Goes That Will Be Sure To Happen. By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD. BERLIN, Oct. 19 (by Mail to New York).—Whatever way the war goes Turkey will be a changed country. If the Allies win, Russia will gain Constantinople, and the rest of Turkey will go to France and England. Persia will go to France, in all likelihood or at least French influence will el forced on the Persian government. If Germany wins, Turkey will submit to German influence and an arrangement will be made whereby German commerce and German enterprise will be given the inside track within Turkey domain. It is in Africa that the big jackpot for which the nations of Europe are fighting is stacked up and how much the map of Africa is changed depends upon how pronounced a victory either side wins. Germany has no great possessions in Africa to lose. In fact she has everything to win in the way of African territory and little to have taken from her. The men of Germany do not measure this war in terms of dead men and horrors of battle but only in terms of what is to be gained or lost, figure the final settlement out in this way: Portugal has got a bit of the Congo. Se doesn't need it and she is not improving it and just because the Portugese of three hundred years ago seized this territory is no proof that Portugal is entitled to this territory today. Germany needs the Portugese Congo. France has a bit of the Congo. France is not a growing nation. In 1870, at the time of her war with Prussia, her population was 39,000,000. It is about 39,000,000 today. Germany is a growing nation. In 1870 her population was 42,000,000. Today it is 67,000,000. Germany must have more territory and the French must surrender their bit of the Congo if Germany is voctorious. The English, too, have a bit of the Congo. It goes without saying that if Germany has her way, England will surrender its piece of Africa to her riavl. The German argument is not that she must have home soil or more room for her masses. Prof. Hans Delbreuck, the eminent German publicist, who gave me most of my information on this subject, said to me: "There is plenty of room in Germany for her masses. The trouble with us is our overflow of the upper classes. Our great educational institutions turn out yearly more professional men than we have room or work for and we must have colonies in which these men can exect their energies." It is on England that Prof. Delbreuck places the responsibility for the war. "It was England alone that could have avoided this war," he said. "If England had agreed that Germany was a growing country and that she was entitled to have a place in the world there would have been no war. But Germany needed room and territory and England would not permit her to take it. Instead England, knowing that Russia desires to gain control over entire eastern Europe, encouraged Russia, to strike the blow that brought on the present war. "If Germany is crushed England will be master of the world for she will then be able to dictate to Weakened Russia, and to give France only a small portion of the Turkish territory." I asked Prof. Delbreuck what chance there might be that the United States would have an opportunity to arrange peace between the allies and Germany. "If, at just the right moment, President Wilson says, 'This is a miserable war and I request you to stop and talk the matter,' I think he would be heard." "But what would be the right moment?" I asked. "Just after one side or the other have a tremendous victory. Then if the victor proves generous and the other side proved willing peace might be arranged. For instance, next week it is probable that the Germans will haev a tremendous victory in Russia and another in southern France. They believe," with a twinkle in his eye, "that President Wilson might surgest peace to England. "I do not wish to mislead you," he concluded. "When I speak about conditions and plans for territory I am calling you only what the intellectual of Germany believe. I am not speaking for the masses. Of course we have jingoes, as any other country has and the masses now and they raise a furor that has no bas's or reasoning." As far as I can gather about all the masses have to do with this entire air fair in Germany is to fight. ROAD BENEFITS TO PROPERTY OWNERS Whether They Are Adjoining Or Not Discussed By The Road Specialists. The road building specialists of the department of agriculture, in Bulletin No. 136, entitled "Highway Bonds," have the following to say about the benefit of a well constructed highway to property owners whose property is not directly on the road to be improved: In planning the highway system of the main market roads, it will be bound necessary to omit many roads the improvement of which is greatly desired by the abutting landowners. The fact that such property holders must pay a tax for the bond issue is only an apparent injustice, for if the highway system is well planned the entire conty will feel the benefits of the improvement. As a rule, main market roads reach the majorit of producing areas, and when they are improved all land values tend to increase. The fact that cities and largertowns are frequently taxed for bond issues to build highways outside of their own limits is sometimes made a point of debate in bond elections. It is argued that because a large part of the county wealth is within the corporate limit of such cities and towns, highway bond money should also be used to construct their streets. It is even urged that the expenditure should be made proportionate to the assessed valuation within the city limits. If the proceeds of highway bond issues were distributed in this way, their purpose in many cases would be defeated. The primary object of the country highway bond issue is to build county market roads and not to improve city streets, although a high percentage of the assessed valuation may be city property. It is now known that the expenditure of city taxes on county roads is a sound principle and that it is one of the best features of state aid for highways. In Massachusetts the city of Boston pays possibly 40 per cent of the total state highway fund, but not a mile of state-aid highwa has been built within its limits. New York City also pays about 60 per cent of the cost of the state highway bonds. Some state laws prohibit the expenditure of proceeds of state highway bonds within corporate limits of cities or towns The improvement of market roads results in improved marketing conditions which benefit the city. Most cities are essentially dependent upon the surrounding country for their prosperity and development. The development of suburban property for residence purposes is also dependent upon highway conditions and it is becoming evident yearly that whatever makes for an increase in rural population must be encouraged. Since the introduction of motor traffic, country highways are used to an increasing extent by city residents. In fact, the GERMAN AIRMEN'S WORK IS TOLD BY CROSS-WINNERS Sprayed With Shell and Rifle Fire They Hover Over Enemy to Direct Artillery. ARMIES HUNTED BY AERIAL FQE Right in Clouds Then Ensues Till One or The Other Dies or is Driven Off —Graphic Description of the Daily Life of the Army Aviators. BERLIN, Nov. 9.—A graphic description of the hazardous daily life of army aviators, particularly of two Germans who have gained Iron Crosses of both the first and second class, but who will not discuss specific achievements, has been written by Heinrich Binder, one of the best-known German war correspondents, who met the airmen at Antwerp. This is Mr. Binder's account of the aviators' work for artillery reconnaissance: "At an average height of 8,000 feet our aviators circle in huge elipses between our batteries and the hostile position. The aeroplane vibrates. The motor rattles and roars, hums and thunders. This music soothes the nerevs of the aviators. It is so loud in the quiet upper air that it browns the thunder of eevn the heaviest artillery. With their field glasses the flyers observe the hostile positions and note the effect of our artillery. Signals are given—'Fell to the right,' 'fell to the left,' 'fell short,' and 'oevrshot wark,' but these signals are a secret. "The French follow their well-known tactics of changing their battery positions continually. But the aviators return again and again, dashing along at 60 miles an hour, and report the new positions. It is a murderous fight. As a hawk circling around a chick before seizing it, so the aviator, high in the air flies around the artillery positions of the enemy, heralding death and destruction. When he approaches the hostile position batteries spray their schapnel at his and the infantry concentrate their fire upon his areoplane. The aviator goes higher and higher, till he can no longer see a man, and the trenches appear as mere scatches on the ground. But those of the French are more distinctly visible; a sharp red line marks where the French infantry lies. Their fine red trousers and bright colored caps betray their position. "The motor continues its road and clatter. Suddenly a little French areo-plane emerges from a cloud. It is smaller and lighter than our kind, of the type known as the 'peasants' terror.' It makes an average speed of 75 miles an hour and it is armed. Now there is a chase as of one bird by another. They try to approach and then to elude each other. Neither side hears the shots fired by the other. The aviator can scarcely feel when a bullet strikes his own machine. "The two aerial combatants soar higher, till one or the other disappears in a cloud, that closes white and moist around him. If the danger becomes to threatening a gliding landing brings the aviators within their own lines. They must take care, howevr, not to get into the line of fire of their own army. for some of the big motors throw their shells a mile or more into the air." cost of maintaining man country highways has been greatly increased by the presence of city-owned motor vehicles. The general advance in facilities for doing country business from town headquarters when roads are improved is no inconsiderable factor in the commercial life of the community. The Breslou police examine about 200 moving picture films a week. DISEASED CATTLE ARE SLAUGHTERED Animals On Hykes Farm In Maryland Killed by Government Officials. Ninety-two animals on the farm of Harvey Hykes in Washington county, Md., were slaughtered and buried yesterday afternoon in order to prevent the spread of the mouth-and-foot disease. Today all of the cattle, sheep and hops on the farm of Amos Shank, where there was another outbreak Friday will be killed. Thus far no important dairy herds in this county have been affected, nor has the disease appeared close to any of them. The trouble has been brought there and developed among cattle brought to fatten as beef, but there is, of course, danger of these cattle infecting dairy herds. Three More Counties. Carroll, Howard and Montgomery counties were placed under quarantine yesterday by proclamation of Governor Goldsborough, and the shipment of all cattle, sheep or hogs to or from these counties will be forbidden because of the further spread of the foot-and-mouth disease. This makes six quarantine counties in Maryland—Frederick, Washington and Alleghany were isolated Fr'day—and State Veterinarian Lawrence Hickman found another farm in Freddrick county, just across the line from Carroll, near Emmitsburg, on which 24 steers, 2 dairy cows and 40 hogs were affected. He also got report of two more farms in the same county which were probably affected. BELFORT STRONGER THAN PORT ARTHUR French Fortress, Correspondent Says Has Been Newly For- LONDON, Nov. 10.—A special correspondent of the Standard, who has been recently in Belfort, telegraphs from Paris that the lesson of Liege, Namur and Antwerp has not been lost, and that Belfort is now in a position to withstand almost any German assault. "Experts consider the place more than twice as formidable as Port Arthur," he says. "While recognizing that the time has passed when any fortress can be declared impregnable, it can be asserted that Belfort would cost innumerable lives if attacked. "Its offensive and defensive works run up to the frontier. Every man and boy for miles around has been engaged upon these defenses and their labor has not been in vain." JAPS TOO MAY HAVE SECRET RADIO PLANT Navy Department Has Evidence of Hidden Station in California Somewhere. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Japan as well as Germany is believed to be operating a secret wireless station from thhis country. Evidence secured by representatives of the Navy Department tends to show that agents of the Mikado have established a plant somewhere on the coast of California. Several days ago the British Embassy complained to the Department of State that Germany had some secret means of communication between Washington and Berlin. All the evidence tended to establish the belief that a wireless station had been established in the Maine woods. When the announcement was made originally that there was evidence to establish the belief that a wireless apparatus was hidden in this country the presumption was that it was being operated solely in the interests pf Germany. MARINE CORPS 139 YEARS OLD TODAY Began Its Glorious Record in the War of the Revolu- The marine corps of the United States celebrates its birth today, it being on November 10, 1775, that the first force of marines was provided for by congress. On that day the continental congress authorized the raising of two battalions of marines. These men fought with distinguished gallantry by the side of the American sailors throughout the revolutionary war, and it was doubtless due to their efficiency that the Fifth congress passed an act establishing and organizing a marine corps, the number of privates being limited at 720. The closing section of that act, giving th. President absolute authority with regard to the nature of the duties of the marine corps, is preserved intact in the present federal statutes as above quoted, although the original act has been revised in many other particulars. marines an Ancient institution. The sea soldiery is an ancient institution. Among the Greeks these marine warriors were known as ecibatae, described by historians as fighting men who served exclusively on ships of war. In the ancient Roman navy they were styled "classiarii milites", the Scandinavians called them "baat-karlar," and the Spanish fighting ships carried complements of marines. In 1653 the British Admiral Blake embarked foot soldiers upon his ships to act as small arms men in the seafights against the Dutch. In 1664 regulars were detailed from the line for service afloat, and became known as marine soldiers" and afterward "marines," a name that has stuck to this class of service ever since. At first the marines were regarded with contempt by the sailors, and were objects of derision, as shown by the expression, "tell it to the marines, an implication that the latter were predulous. But the American marine has carved out a glorious name for himself. Though few in number the United States marines have taken part in every great achievement of American arms. They were with John Paul Jones on the Bon Homme Richard when he fought the Serapis, and out of 127 of their number, the American ship in that fight 49 were killed or wounded. In 1880 in the hard-fought battle between the Constitution and the French ship La Vengeance, the American marines lost one-fourth of their number. After the revolution the marines fought pirates and played an important part in the war against Tripoli. In the war of 1812 the marines again distinguished themselves and were conspicuous in the battles on the great lakes. Fought in China and Mexico. During the war with Mexico the marines did effective work in co-operating with Gen. Scott's forces. In the civil war they fought in nearly every battle on the water and on the coasts, receiving repeated commendations from the army leaders. During the Boxer uprising in China they bore the brunt of protecting the legations. When the battleship Maine blew up in Havana harbor it was Marine "Bill" Anthony who went to Capt. Sigsbee's cabin and without a tremor in his voice announced: "I have to report lthat the ship has been blown up and is sinking." In the Spanish American war the marines were first to set foot, on Cuban soil, and at Guananamo they held the beach against a heavy fire from a larger force of the enemy. And only in the recent fighting around Vera Cruz, the marines again demonstrated their bravery. Illustrating the shortsightedness of the human race is the fact that many of us neglected to be motor truck manufacturers before the war began. Tokio, Nov. 10.—Since the surren- DEMONSTRATIONS DURING WINTER In Home Economics For The Farm Woman of The Southern Land- The county women agents who during the summer have been teaching southern girls to can their garden products and tend poultry will continue during the winter to make other practical demonstrations in home economics for such farm women as desire them, if the plans materialize which the U. S. department of agricultere hopes to carry out in cooperation with the state colleges. These ladies will have the club members grow winter gardens. It is also proposed to have capable county agents make demonstrations in such lines as the following: utilizing canned goods in cooking, bread making, use of fireless cookers, preparation of vegetables from winter gardens, homemade step and labor-saving devices, and similar subjects. Thus the Girls Club work will be carried into the home, and mothers as well as the girls in southern rural communities may become acquainted with the most up-to-date methods of housework. The various county women agents who have finished canning instructions will endeavor to enroll the women of rural communities when the canning has been undertaken, for a continuance of practical demonstrations in home economics. It will be the object of the county woman agent not only to impart the best she knows but to learn god recipes and methods of work from those who have excelled in any particular line and pass them on for general use in the community. Meetings will be arranged in schools or private homes for the purpose of reporting on the progress of work and for showing results. Social gatherings will be features of the work as they have been for the Girl's Garden and Canning Clubs. Bulletins are now being prepared which will be furnished to workers to aid them in following the instructions of the county agent. Under preparation (though not yet for distribution) are the following: Use of vegetables from winter gardens. How to make and use fireless cookers. Preparation of canning club products for the table. Some homemade step-saving devices. Practical demonstration work for the girls of the south has only been carried on actively since 1910, when a few canning clubs were organized. Since then the canning clubs have taken in more than 40,000 girls under the supervision of nearly 400 women agents. The total value of the canned goods of these young women of the south was $180,420.05 in 1913. Special products of southern fruits and vegetables have been developed to a considerable extent. Reporth thus far received indicate that the records of 1914 will far surpass those of last year. A more recent development, the poultry club, has now 2,090 memebrs. These young girls have increased materially the supply of wholesome food as well as the income of the farm home by their sales of products. They are now to be taught the actual preparation of wholesome food in a wholesome and economical manner in the kitchen. There will also be home demonstration work in cooking meats grown by the boys, many of whom have done so well in raising corn and pigs, as many farm homes supplied with choice home-cured meats prepared by the young club members, will testify. der of the German garrison at Tsing-tau, the question of Japan sending an army to Europe has begun to attract increasing attention. The idea finds considerable support in military circles, where it is believed that such a move would be welcomed by France.

The Germans made the utmost possible haste to reach the frontier. They have not engaged in a single serious battle since they left the precincts of Warsaw. "During the retreat they made extensive use of motorcars, of which they are said to have had 70,000 on the eastern front alone. About 10,000 of these were at the disposal of the rear guard, which, after each attempt to delay the Russian pursuit, was thus enabled to overtake the main body without difficulty. "Recently on the East Prussian front the Germans have sent into action a large number of boys fifteen and sixteen years old. Among the drivers captured with the German baggage wagons have been found women in soldiers' uniforms."
