(From the Chicago Defender) Robert Crawford, 3829 Vincinnes avenue, a seventeen year old youth, is astounding the world with his knowledge of wireless telegraphy. Robert has, while a student at the Wendell Phillips high school, built for himself the entre wireless station which he has at his home. All the wiring, coil work, transmitter, receiver, telegraph keys and all other parts of this wonderful working apparatus was the work of his own hands. He formerly controlled stx wires, but the government restriction owing to the war, had reduced them to three. Young Crawford has talked to Key West, Fla., and most of the Atlantic coast towns. He is a member of the Wireless Club, which are all white except himself. He is a student of the Wendell Phillips high school and has made a record that every boy should be proud of. All high schools in the country should take this case for an example and strive to point out the good this young man has accomplished. The young man has a wonderful future before him. He is also an artist of rare ability. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TULSA, OKLA. SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1916. Jones Faction Wins in Court Decision in Chicago Rendered this Week, Sustained the Contents of E. P. Jones and Followers, Making Them the National Baptist Convention. Judge Smith Rendering Decision. Chicago, January 10.—A decision rendered in the courts of Chicago today by Judge Smith sustained the demurrer of attorneys Walter M. Farmer of this city, and Wm. Harrison, of Oklahoma City, recognizing the National Baptist Convention of which E. P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg, Miss., was elected president. It will be remembered that during the month of September last year the Baptists held a convention in this city and divided into two parts over a charter gotten ot by seven men. A majority of one hundred fifty or more votes in the Convention was against the charter, whereupon, Dr. Morris and his followers left the chair and the Convention immediately elected E. P. Jones and an entirely new set of officers. The incorporated Convention led by Dr. Morris got out an injunction to prevent the Jones people from using the name "National Baptist Convention." The case has been hinging fire and the decision today by the court is far-reaching, as it tears down and virtually eliminates the incorporated faction as a national body. The contest was sharp and prolonged. Able counsel represented both sides, but in the demurrer offered by the attorneys for the Jones faction every contention made and the five points of law presented were upheld. President Jones was reached by wire in Philadelphia and expressed himself as well pleased, declaring that he know the will of the majority of the Baptists would be sustained. It is said that this decision puts the incorporated faction to rout. It is learned that President Jones will call a meeting of his advisors, consisting of the chairmen and the secretaries of the various Boards, together with the elective officers to meet in Nashville at an early date. GREEN BUG APPEARS. Southwestern Grain Fields Infested—Serious Spread May Follow Favorable Weather Conditions. The spring grain aphis, popularly known as the green bug, has appeared in grain fields in Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and in northeastern ...ew Mexico, and it is probable that it is also in southern Missouri and Arkansas. The danger of this pest doing serious damage in the spring depends to a great extent upon the weather between now and the middle of April. If the temperature during this period is sufficiently high to enable the green buk to spread throughout the winter, and at the same time sufficiently low to prevent its principal natural enemy—a minute black, four-winged fly—from developing, a serious visitation over large areas may be expected. In all the states where the green bug has made its appearance grain growers should watch their fields carefully. If any spots appear where the grain changes from green to yellow in color, these should be plowed under a deeply as possible and the ground harrowed and rolled. It is from spots of this character that the green bug spreads over the remainder of the fields. If straw can be spared for the purpose, it may be spread over the infected patches and burned. This destroys the pest as effectively as the blowing under of the ground. Ordinarily, the green bug is kept in check by the minute fly already mentioned. This parasite lays its eggs in the body of the green bug, and the young, hatching from the eggs within the body, ultimately cause the death of the bug. These parasites are found in a considerable number of insects which are closely related to the green bug. Under favorable temperature conditions they will probably increase until their numbers are sufficient to overcome any material increase in the numbers of the green bug. They are This is probably the most elaborate deceptive device used by any of the belligerent armies. The French have posted a large number of their 220-centimeter mortars in woods and other places, where they are hidden from the enemy's "air eyes." In order to deceive the German aviators, the French have placed very clever fake guns around the real mortars. They are substantially built of wood and metal to look genuine, and uniformed figures are placed about to represent the gun squads. When an aviator appears overhead, soldiers a long way off pull strings to make the figures move. Smoke also comes out of the gun muzzle. not, however, able to withstand as severe weather as the green bug itself, and it is important, therefore, that the farmers in the regions likely to be affected by the latter take the necessary steps immediately for their own protection.

After a most careful consideration of the several invitations received from different sections of the country for the next meeting of the National Negro Business League, we are authorized to announce that the League has decided to accept the invitation extended by the Local Negro Business League of Greater Kansas City. The meeting will be held August 16th, 17th and 18th, 1916. It appears that the Business League has selected a most opportune time to hold their meeting in Kansas City, for as Mr. Fortune J. Weaver, President of the Kansas City Local League says: "These dates fit in just right, as the Masons will hold their Grand Lodge in Kansas City during the second week of August and the National Medical Association comes during the fourth week." These two meetings in addition to the Business League session, will offer best possible inducements to the railroads to make special reduced fares and will afford delegates to the Grand Lodge and the Medical Association an opportunity to attend some of the sessions of the Business League The Executive Committee has also decided that it will be most appropriate and fitting that the first n ght's (August 16th) session be devoted to Memorial exercises in honor of Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder and first president of the National Negro Business League. Further announcements regarding the forthcoming meeting of the Negro Business League will be made from time to time through the press. For further information write to J. C. Napier, Chairman Executive Committee, Nashville, Tennessee; Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; Charles Banks, First Vice President, Mound Bayou, Mississippi. ASKS U. S. TO FIND MOTHER Indian Woman Has Not Seen or Heard From Her Parent In Thirteen Years. Kansas City, Mo.—An Indian woman about twenty-four years old with a child almost eleven years old was in the federal employment offices recently seeking aid in finding her mother from whom she has not heard in thirteen years. The woman, who says her name is Juanna Myers, says her husband died a few years ago, leaving an estate in Chicago of $20,000, but that she has been unable to collect any part of it. Her child, she says, is with relatives in Chicago. Her mother, she states, has been twice married since she last saw her, and her father, married her mother under the name of Johnson. The mother was a Cherokee Indian. IS SAVED BY WOODEN LEQ Bear, When Surprised, Claws Horseback Rider's Artificial Limb. Sunbury, Pa.—John Davidson, a Cat awissa mountain farmer, who lives near the town of that name, says he is glad he has a wooden leg, for it saved him serious hurts in a battle with a bear. Davidson says he was riding horseback along the Susquehanna, which skirts dense mountain growths at that point, when he saw a black bear fishing in the river. It would dive down and come up with a fish in its mouth. Angered by his approach bruin dropped a fish and gave chase, but Davidson drew his revolver and fired. He missed, and the animal came on after him and bit and clawed at his wooden leg. He fired again, and then a freight train approached on a railroad near by. This, together with the tooting of the locomotive whistle, frightened the beast and it dropped to its feet and ambled off into the woods. The farmer exhibited a torn pair of trousers and lacerated wooden leg to his story. We Earnestly Solicit your Business for 1916 Moton Iumane Officer For East End Will Take Up Humane Work in the East End. Capt. T. D. Jackson, a prominent leader among the Colored people of Tulsa, has accepted a commission from Humane Agent A. M. Welch and hereafter will look after this line of work in the East End. Mr. Welch has not been satisfied with the work done in this part of town heretofore, and when approached on this subject readily agreed to put the work in the hands of a good responsible man. Capt. Jackson was then asked if he would accept and a later a little hesitation said he would take it because of the good he m g be able to do for his people, "and because the Star wants me to" concluded the brave Captain as he brought his hand down rather heavily on the editor's shoulder.

Little Institution For Colored People Much in Need of New Books. The Colored Free Library, maintained in the lobby of the Star office it has been of much service to the public, the East End since it was established, and would be of greater benefit if there were more books on its shelves. From June 1, 1915 to Dec 1915, 286 people borrowed books from this library, 257 came in to search information and 182 came in to re-newspapers from various parts of the United States, making a total of 4 patrons for the library in seven men an average, of about 103 people, month to visit the library. There are 497 volumes now in the library, they are all old books, many of the worn beyond further usefulness. The library is greatly in need of new books. The above figures she conclusively that this little institute is serviceable to the people in part of the city and that it is appreciated. In order that we may better meet the growing demand of this institute and extend its good influences we spectfully appeal to the generous pile of Tomas, white and Colored, funds to buy new books. We would also appreciate any donation of books. Very respectfully. A. J. SMITHERMAN, Libraria Bristow Physcia Praises Editor Bristow, Okla., 1-6-1916.

THE TULSA STAR AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Major Robert Russa Moton of Hamp ton whom a subcommittee of the board of ‘rustees of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute unanimously selected as successor to the late Book: or T. Washington, said in an interview that he intended to carry on the work of Tuskegee along the same rational Ines which Doctor Washington had followed. “I accept this new respon: ibility,” said Major Moton, “with anx- fous humility. Doctor Washington was truly a great man, viewed from every angle 1 cannot fill his place, but with the guidance and support of Tuske: (eo's wise and sympathetic board of Vustees, and with the earnest co-oper- ron and loyal help of the faithful and efficient corps of workers whom Doe: tor Washington gathered about him at Tuskegee, I shall endeavor to the best of my ability to carry on the work to which he gave his life with the same spirit and with the same rational methods which he #o wisely and 80 successfully used.” Major Moton, It tx known, was Doctor Washington's choice as his successor as lender of Tuskegee'’s work, The two men were intimate friends, held the same views as to the best methods for helping their race to @ fuller citizenship, and often spoke from the same platform in the North and on the “educational tours” of the Southern states, The subcommittee which chose Major Mo- ton was composed of Seth Low, Frank ‘Trumbull, W. W. Campbell, Vietor H. Tulane, and Edgar A, Bancroft. Mr Low gave out the following state ment: “The trustees of Tuskegee In stitute at their meeting in Tuskegee, December 13, appointed the under: signed committee with power to se lect the principal, provided ft could act unantmously, The committee to- day bas, by unantgous action, ap- pointed Major R. R. Moton to be prin- cipal. His installation will take place at the commencement next May, «0 taking this action, the committee has not been unmindful of the long devo- tion and many qualifications of Em: mett J. Scott for the position. The problem to be dealt with ts a many: sided one, and it has seemed wise to seek a solution of ft that will bring to the work of Tuskegee another force: ful personality.” The late Booker T. Washington, in his book entitled “My Larger Education,” had this to say of the man who is to succeed him as principal of the institution which Doe: [tor Washington built up from a log Jeabin, and to which he devoted his |life: “It has been my privilege to come into contact with many different types of people, but 1 know few men | who are so lovable, and, at the same time, so sensible in their nature as | Major Moton. He is chock-full of common sense, Further than that he |is a man who, without obtruding him: | self and without understanding how he does {t, makes you believe in him from the very first time you see him and |from your first contact with him, and, at the same time, makes you love him.

But a seant half century ago the colored citizens of ‘St. Louls had just emerged from slav- ery; and, as Booker Washington put it, their sole assets consisted of a fow bed quilts, pumpkins and fowls “mis- cellaneously gathered,” Today the race numbers many men of substantial means and big civic spirit. A large proportion of the people of St, Louis, cluding the writer of these words, ome of Southern stock, Our ances- Drs were tended in their infancy, served in their mature years and ton derly cared for in thelr old age by the strong hands and warm hearts of American Negroes. This obligation thus accumulated through the genera- tons is one which we can never fully discharge, The opportunity to help in the work so nobly started in the tn- terest of an institution whose function {is to make colored boys into good citt- xens, who might otherwise develop in- to bad ones, is one that we cannot af Nice shiny bugles may be bought very cheaply up in Manitoba, where @ large consignment intended for the troops has been cast aside because in ‘A wee sma’ nook on the inside was found these words: “Made in Ger- many.” King Alfonso has reigned longer than any other European sovereign, with the exception of the king of Mon: tenegro and the emperor of Austria, He was born a king, and so has reigned just over 29 years, Js something that ‘s hard for strangers to understand.

At though he has little schooling outside of What he was able to get at Hamp: ton institute. Major Moton Is one of the best read men and one of the most interesting men to talk with 1 have ever met, Education has not ‘spotted’ him, as it seems to have done in the case of some other educated Negroes. It has not embittered or narrowed him in his affections. He has not learned to hate or distrust any class of people, and he ts just as ready to assist and show a kindness to a white man as to a black fan, to a Southerner as to a Northerner. How flies ond mosquitoes carry dis ease was one of the phas»s treated in the exhibit on hygiene and sanitation made recently by the colored pupils of the Washington (D.

Right and wrong kind of dairies, right and wrong methods of supplying houses with drinking water, as well as ‘a model of the District's water supply plant right and wrong methods of ventilating houses: proper methods of disposing of garbage and trash, and how children may aid in seeping com munities in which they live clean and healthful were included among the models displayed. One of the points of interest about this part of the quad- ruplex exhibit was that the cost of the material used was but slight. Old boxes, pasteboard, clay and illustra: tions cut from magazines were all used to good purpose. Miss Jessie Wormley of the normal faculty dt: rected the students, Students taking the domestic sclence course under Miss Helen Irving compiled exhibits showing the various uses to which cot: ton 1s put, as well as its by-products. From the raw material to various finished products was shown through actual material and pictures, not only of cotton, but also of linen, wool hemp, ramie, jute and silk.

This Jesus of whom they have been speaking had fulfilled this proph- ecy by mighty deeds (v, 22), by hav- {ng risen from the dead (y. 23) and of this the disciples were all witnesses: (vy. 82); he had also been “exalted” (vy, 33), and bis glory Peter had wit- essed upon the mount (II Peter 1: 16-18), (2) Peter asserts that whoso- “ever belleves in Jesus as Lord and Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah, “shall be saved (vv. 21, 36).

THERE IS NOTHING of more importance to the race at this time than the problem of providing employment for boys and girls, men and women of the race. We may need, we do nood, social, political and religious development; but our progress along these lines will be advanced and measured in proportion to our commercial and industrial development. Say what we will we are living in an age and under conditions which make it necessary for the race to specialize in commercial and industrial development if we hope to pull ourselves away from present conditions. This, it is generally known now, was the belief of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, and it was the theme of his life's work. We can not better commemorate the memory of this great man than by furthering his ideas and putting in practical operation the dreams if his lifetime. The time is now at hand, likewise the opportunity. The Negroes of Oklahoma could be a tremendous power in the commercial and industrial world if they would only avail themselves of the opportunities at hand, and combine their forces. In every community where Colored people live there is a splendid chance to develop this side of our life, but we seldom take advantage of the opportunity. To bring the question home: here in Tulsa we are not doing our duty. If we were we could easily afford employment for every idle Colored boy and girl, mand and woman in town. But for some reason, we too, have failed to grasp the opportunities at hand just as we should. There is no good reason why we should not have a factory producing shirts, shoes and other wearing apparel for men, women and children and have employed a number of traveling salesmen, sales girls, bookkeepers, stenographers, etc. There are fourteen laundries in Tulsa, thirteen of them are run by white people throughout. One of them, The Crescent Laundry, recently opened, is conducted by Colored people throughout, and this one is the only one where a Colored man or woman can get employment. The people employed at the Crescent Laundry spend their money with us—some times—and it is our duty to sustain them in business to encourage the building of race enterprises. THE SPECIAL SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE MONDAY MORNING, the legislature of Oklahoma will convene in a special session, called by Governor Williams to enact new and needed legislation for the good of the commonwealth. There has been considerable opposition to this special session from both democrats and republicans, but the leaders of the party in power have deemed it expedient to call the legislative body together and now it is up to them to make good in the eyes of the common people—the taxpayers of Oklahoma. It has been charged that Governor Williams was persuaded to call a special session of the legislature to doctor the "Grandfather Clause" which was recently declared unconstitutional by the U. S. Supreme Court. In all probability an election law will be passed, but it is unfair to the lawmakers of this state, who are all supposed to be honorable men, elected by the voters of the state, to imply or insinuate that they will be parties to a scheme to override the spirit of teh recent Supreme Court decision by attempting to force upon the people of Oklahoma a law which might be applied or enforced with the same spirit and effect of the late "Grand Father Clause." Election laws are the most important part of the political machinery of any state, and the right of suffrage is the most effective safeguard for the people of any country. When election laws are passed by astute politicians to perpetuate themselves in office the interest of the common peole is lost sight of and certain classes of citizens are sure to suffer. And when the right of suffrage is not restricted in any way much evil is sure to follow. It certainly would not be wise for Oklahoma, or any other rate, to pass a law making every male citizen a legal voter. There should be some restrictions, and THE TULSA STAR is not opposed to such a law. But any law passed by the representatives of the common people, should apply in all fairness to all citizens alike. The Star is of the opinion that the gentlemen who constitute the Oklahoma legislature, representing the best brains in the state, will give the people of Oklahoma an election law that would hold good in the United States Supreme Court. No good citizen would want more, nor be satisfied with less.

That we error in those days, there is room for doubt, but the fault was not in the Negro, but in the white man. However, the Negro is paying the price with interest for his ungainful loyalty. In late years under new conditions, or rather under new phases of old conditions, we are learning to view the same objective point from different angles. A few years ago a Negro democrat was almost an unknown quantity, especially in the Southland, but today they are counted in the thousands—and God only knows how many clandestine democrats there are among us. A political metamorphesis seems to have set in upon the Negro, and he is becoming very much identified with all the parties, and this is one of the great blessings to befall us. There are those who believe the Negro owes a life time allegiance to the republican party. As for THE TULSA STAR we believe every man has a right to vote as he pleases, and that he should always be pleased to vote for the best men. No one who is well posted in politics can deny that Negro democrats have done much good for the race through their friends and party men. Missouri was about the first state to produce a black palanx of organized democracy, and because of the influence of this organization our black boys in the democratic ranks through their friendsand fellow party men have kept from the statute books of that state the "Jim Crow" law or the "Grandfather Clause."

URGES CAUTION IN TAKING UP FOX FARMING United States Department of Agriculture Gives Valuable Information on Subject. SLUMP IN PRICE OF FURS Former Rates Not Based on Fur Value of Animals, but on Breeding Possibilities—Choice of Location is of Prime Importance. Washington, D. C.—Those thinking of engaging in fox farming as a source of profit should consider carefully the cautions and the data as to the expense of equipping a farm, and would do well to weigh carefully the conservative statement as to the profits from this industry, which are included in United States department of agriculture bulletin No. 301, "The Domestication of the Silver Fox." The bulletin points out that the prices of furs and of breeding animals have fallen considerably since July, 1914, and states that the prices running into thousands of dollars formerly paid for live silver foxes were based not on the fur value of the animals, but on their possibilities as breeding animals, in an industry in which there was great speculative excitement. On this general point the author says: "The business of fox breeding will be on a much more stable basis than at present when the value of breeding animals bears an approximate relation to the value of their pelts in the open market. The profits in silver fox farming prior to 1910 were realized mainly from the sale of pelts; since then they have been derived almost entirely from the sale of live foxes for breeding purposes. There has been a recent sharp decline in the prices of breeding stock." Branch 16 S.

GERMANS ADMIT ALL POINTS In the Lusitania and Frye Cases and Will Settle For Loss of American Lives on the Former. Washington. — Encouraged by the conciliatory attitude shown by Germany and Austria in recent diplomatic exchanges with the United States, officials are considering requesting a definite comprehensive statement pledging not only Germany, but all of her allies to respect in the conduct of their sea warfare the guarantees of the safety of American lives for which this government has contended throughout the entire submarine controversy. President Wilson is being urged to ask the Germanic allies for definite assurances that no unarmed ships with Americans aboard shall be destroyed until the passengers have reached safety. The president is said to look with some favor upon such a proposal, but has reached no decision. Three more communications from Germany reached here, one containing a proposal to pay an indemnity for the Americans lost in the Lusitania disaster, which may bring negotiations on that subject to a conclusion, and one conveying assurances that German submarine commanders operating in the Mediterranean would not torpedo non-combatant ships of any character without warning them and according safety to their passengers and crews. The third related to the Frye case Official Washington considered that America and Germany at last were near a final agreement regarding the conduct of submarine warfare. Officials made no attempt to conceal their gratification at the attitude that Germany apparently had assumed. It was considered to be virtually in harmony with the American viewpoint. Tension regarding the entire submarine question seemed to have lessened considerably. Austria in its reply to the last Ancona note having assured the United States of its intentions to operate submarines with due regard for international law and the principles of humanity, Turkey and Bulgaria, it is understood, next will take steps to give such guarantees. It is stated authoritatively that Germany and Austria-Hungary will use their influence to accomplish this end. Considered Ended Amonfl Teutons. The Lusitania controversy except for the wording of the agreement to be entered into is considered in Teutonic circles here virtually ended. Under the terms of the proposal submitted for the approval of the United States, Germany, while offering to pay an indemnity makes the reservation that no admission of wrongdoing thereby is involved. It is contended that the Lusitania was sunk as an act of reprisal for the British blockade of Germany. Officials are particularly gratified over Germany's latest note on the destruction of the American ship William P. Frye, because of its acceptance of the principle that the mere placing of non-combatants in lifeboats is not a sufficient guaranty of safety. Whole Problem May Be Solved. The concession, coupled with Germany's offer to pay indemnity for the Lusitania victims and Ambassador Von Bernstorff's assurances regarding the conduct of German submarines in the Mediterranean has contributed greatly to the feeling that a satisfactory solution of the entire problem might be near. This hope is strengthened by Austria's deference in the second Ancona reply and the assurance of Baron Zwiedneck, the Austrian charge here, that if an Austrian submarine sank the Persia he had no doubt personally that full satisfaction would be given. No further details regarding the Persia incident reached the state department, but there has been an apparent lessening of tension as the days have gone by without any official confirmation that it was a torpedo and not a mine that sank the ship. Confirmation of reports that the Rev. Homer R. Salisbury, an American citizen was a passenger on the steamer Persia, sunk in the Mediterranean, was received by the state department from Marselles. His name does not appear among survivors. Gallipoli Campaign Abandoned London. The remaining positions held by the allies on Gallipoli peninsula have now been abandoned with the wounding of only one man among the British and French, according to a British official statement.

Big Submarine Reward Paris.—A Havas dispatch from Saloniki says: "The British authorities have offered a reward of 50,000 francs for information of the presence of German submarines in the Aegean sea" THE TULSA STAR WESTERN CANADA'S GREAT HARVEST Decidedly Encouraging From Every Standpoint. Speaking of conditions generally in Canada, the most encouraging feature of the year, from a trade and financial standpoint, has been the bountiful harvest of the Northwest, where a greatly increased area under cultivation has given the highest average yield in the history of the country. It is estimated that the grain crop of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta has a market value to the producers of approximately four hundred million dollars, in the use of which we may anticipate not only the liquidation of much indebtedness, but the stimulation of current trade. The annual reports of the various banks throughout Canada are now being published. They savor of optimism all the way through, and, contrary to what might be generally expected in war times, business is good everywhere. The General Manager of the Bank of Montreal at the recent annual meeting said: "The position of Canada is a highly favored one, with an assured future of growth, development and general prosperity." In the same report it is said that the Canadian West "has recovered to a marked extent from the economic dislocation of a year ago." The season's wheat and other cereal crops have exceeded all previous records in quantity and quality, and, despite the enormous yield, prices have been uncommonly well maintained. It would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of these results to the Prairie Provinces—and the Dominion at large. The prosperity of those engaged in mixed farming and ranching is most encouraging. The flour mills in Manitoba, as katchewan and Alberta are busy and are doing well. Their combined daily capacity is about 27,000 barrels. The large advances of the Dominion Government to farmers in certain districts, principally in the form of seed, were made very opportunel and have been amply justified by the very large crop yield in those districts. Business in many important lines is good and should continue to improve as returns from grain yet to be marketed are received. The general business outlook has been transformed by the large crop The returns of the gross earnings of Canadian railroads for November show those of the Canadian Pacific increased $1,796,000 or 78 per cent for the last nine days of the month. Compared with same month year ago, increase no less than $5,291,000 or 67.6 per cent against a 45 per cent gain in October, and a decrease of $4 1/2 per cent in September. H. V. Meredith, of the Bank of Montreal, in a recent address delivered at Montreal, declared that the most encouraging feature from a trade and finance standpoint had been the bountiful harvest of the Northwest, where the greatly increased area under cultivation had given the highest average in history of the country. He estimated the grain crop of the three provinces at a value of over $400,000,000, and said that such remarkable results would have the effect of attracting the tide of immigration to our shores, when the world is again at peace. The restoration of a favorable balance in our foreign trade is a factor of supreme importance at the present time. It is the general opinion in the East that the 1915 grain crop in the Prairie Provinces not only put the whole Dominion in a sounder trade and financial standing, but that it will also result in a big increase in immigration to the West of agricultural settlers, who will include capitalized farmers frost.

While the Russian front has been quiet during the past few days there has been severe fighting in the other war theaters. On the Montenegrin front the Austrians have been generally successful.

In Persia, British reinforcements on their way to the relief of Kut El-Amara have met Turkish forces which were compelled to retire after some heavy fighting. Petrograd says the calm on the Czernowitz front is due to the huge losses and resulting demoralization of the Austro-Hungarian army. That there is some basis for this statement is evident from the estimate of the Hungarian newspaper Pester Lloyd that the losses on both sides of the Bessarabian battles so far exceed 175,000 or more than the total British losses in the whole Dardanelles campaign. Another Hungarian newspaper says on the authority of a staff report that the fighting on this front has been the bitterest and bloodyest in the history of the war, both sides sacrificing men in a manner without parallel. The Saloniki front is chiefly notable in the day's dispatches as the scene of almost continued aeroplane skirmishes, one of which continued for two hours. The Germans have thus far lost six aeroplanes in this region. The rumor that the consule of the Teutonic allies arrested at Saloniki had been released appears to have been without foundation as it is now announced that they have been transferred to a French auxiliary cruiser on which they have been interned. Extensive Turkish reprisals are already announced by the central powers. The present situation in Albania was thus summed up by Lord Robert Cecil, under secretary for foreign affairs in the house of commons: "I regret to say that it is impossible to speak of Albania as an entity at present. In the central area over which Essad Pasha's authority extends, the relations between the Serbian soldiers and the population have been friendly and Essad Pasha has rendered them valuable assistance. The northern tribes, among whom the enemy has conducted a considerable propaganda are hostile to the Serbians and Montenegrins." Several lengthy dispatches have been received here giving details of the recent operations in eastern Galicia, which were so meagerly described in the official reports. According to these dispatches the Russians, after artillery preparation which showed there was no longer any shortage in their big gun ammunition, started an offensive which caused the Austro-Germans to rush every available division to Galicia. Czernowitz is still in the possession of the Austrians and is filled with wounded but the Russians apparently are directing their main attack against Sadagora, north of the Bukowina capital where five important roads converge. In the Balkans reports persist that the Germans are concentrating at Monastir preparatory to an attack on Saloniki, but the interest in the Mecedonian campaign has become secondary to the operations of the Austrians in Montenegro. A determined attack is being made on Mount Lovecen, a Montenegrin stronghold overlooking Cattaro bay, by the guns of the Austrian fortresses at Cuttaro and Austrian fortress at Cattaro and Aus A formidable Austrian force invading Montenegren extends over a wide front from the river Tara in the west to the Ipek district in the east. It cannot be disguised that the invasion is causing great uneasiness among the entente powers and especially Italy, which sees in its success an end of Italy's dream of dominating the Albanian section of the Adriatic. The Italian newspapers in expressing the opinion that an Austrian success against Montenegro would give the invader an incalculable political, maritime, commercial and strategic advantage, admit the fear that Italy's intervention in the Balkan campaign has come too late.

Hospitals are great and necessary institutions, but they should be the last resort for women who suffer with ills peculiar to their sex. Many letters on file in the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., prove that a great number of women after they have been recommended to submit to an operation have been made well by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Here are three such letters. Ali sick women should read them. Marinette, Wis.—"I went to the doctor and he told me I must have an operation for a female trouble, and I hated to have it done as I had been married only a short time. I would have terrible pains and my hands and feet were cold all the time. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and was cured, and I feel better in every way. I give you permission to publish my name because I am so thankful that I feel well again."—Mrs. FRED BEHNKE, Marinette, Wis. Detroit, Mich.—"When I first took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was so run down with female troubles that I could not do anything, and our doctor said I would have to undergo an operation. I could hardly walk without help so when I read about the Vegetable Compound and what it had done for others I thought I would try it. I got a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a package of Lydia E. Pinkham's Sanative Wash and used them according to directions. They helped me and today I am able to do all my work and I am well."—Mrs. Thos. Dwyer, 1989 Milwaukee Ave., East, Detroit, Mich. Bellevue, Pa.—"I suffered more than tongue can tell with terrible bearing down pains and inflammation. I tried several doctors and they all told me the same story, that I never could get well without an operation and I just dreaded the thought of that. I also tried a good many other medicines that were recommended to me and none of them helped me until a friend advised me to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. The first bottle helped, I kept taking it and now I don't know what it is to be sick any more and I am picking up in weight. I am 20 years old and weigh 145 pounds.

Eugene Peterson, a well-known farmer and datryman, was terribly injured in a peculiar accident on his farm near here. He was feeding corn stalks into a fodder-cutting machine, and accidentally stuck his pitchfork into the rapidly-revolving wheel. The handle of the pitchfork was twisted from the farmer's hands and, whirling around, struck him in the jaw, breaking the bone on both sides. Hurled from the wheel with terrific force, the fork struck Peterson and one of the sharp prongs pierced his throat.
