GERMAN RAIDERS ROAM SOUTH SEAS TWO SHIPS USED WERE SEIZED BY CREW WHEN FAMOUS SEEADLER IS LOST. Seeadler Stranded On Island and Crew Captures Two Other Ships and Resume Raiding, Is Report. Washington, Oct. 5.—Two German commerce raiders, manned by the crew of the famous Seeadler, which it now develops, stranded on Mopeha island on the South Pacific, after roaming the seas for seven months, preying upon American and Allied shipping, are operating somewhere in the South Seas, according to a report received by the Navy department from the commander of the naval station at Tutuia, Samoan Islands. The dispatch, transmitting the story of Captain Hador Smith of the American schooner C. Slade, of the Seeadler's victims, was sent on September 29, several weeks after the two new raiders left Mopeha island, where they had been captured by the Germans. The first put to sea August 21 and the other September 5, and it probably was their operations which led to recent reports of raiders in the Pacific. Long List of Victims. Before coming to grief on August 1, the Seeadler had added the American schooners A. B. Johnson, Manila and Slade to the list of at least 12 Allied vessels which she sank early this year in the South Atlantic ocean. In the long period from last March, when she was last heard from, the raider probably sent down other craft encountered in passing through the Atlantic, around Cape Horn and the Pacific to the Society group of French islands, of which Mpeha is one. The Seeadler, according to Captain Smith's report, arrived at Mopeha, July 21. Two days later she stranded on the island and was abandoned as a total loss, the master and crew, with 27 white men and 11 native prisoners, making shore in safety. The company remained there until August 21, when the Secadler's master, accompanied by three officers and two men, put to sea in a motor-sloop with machine guns, rifles, bombs and about two months' supplies. Put Out in Seized Ship. The remainder of the crew stayed on the island until September 5, when the French schooner Lutece, bound out of Tahiti, Society Islands, arrived at Mopeha and was seized. The schooner was equipped with machine guns, rifles and bombs and the Germans immediately put to sea in her. The dispatch from the naval officer did not indicate the size of the raiders and nothing is known of them, as one was unnamed while the French schooner Lutece is not listed in available shipping records. BOLO TRIED TO MAKE SEPARATE PEACE PACT Claimed to Be Peace Envoy for Germany in Negotiations With France. New York, Oct. 5.—Testimony that Bolo Pasha, now under arrest in Paris as a spy and peace propagandist on behalf of Germany, came to America early in 1916 with representations that Germany was ready for a separate peace with France, which would be favorable to France, has been given before Merton E. Lewis, attorney general of New York state, in the investigation into the Levantine's financial activities in this country. Adolph Pavenstedt, for many years a social intimate of Count von Bernstaff, former German ambassador, testified that Bolo Pasha told him he understood Germany was prepared to make peace on the following grounds: First Germany, to code France First—Germany to code France a part of Alsace and Lorraine. Second—France to give Germany Second—France to give Germany some of the French colonies. Third—German troops to evacuate Northern France. GERMANY GETS RUBBER FROM CANADA, WARNING Teuton Agents Ship Product by Way of Holland, Belgian Consul Advises—Clever Game Played. Montreal, Oct. 5.—Operation in Canada of German commercial agents who are sending rubber to Germany by way of Holland is referred to by Ciaronce I. De Sola, Belgian counsel, in a warning issued through the press to Canadian shippers. Mr. De Sola said German agents had been playing a clever game, misleading Canadian exporters, especially exporters of rubber. THE TWIN CITY STAR. PRESIDENT OF ARGENTINA DAN L. LEEKING CITY OF LOS ANGELES President Irigoyen of Argentina declares Germany's explanation of the Luxburg incident is satisfactory, and adheres to a course of neutrality. He says Argentina "cannot be dragged into the war by the United States." ENGRAVING CHIEF RESIGNS JOSEPH E. RALPH QUITS PLACE IN GOVERNMENT OFFICE. His Administration of Bureau Had Been Under Investigation for Some Time. Washington, Oct. 5. — Joseph E. Ralph, director of the bureau of engraving and printing, whose administration of the bureau has been under investigation for months, has tendered his resignation. Charges of exceeding his authority in administering the affairs of the big bureau where the government's entire volume of paper currency is made have been under investigation by a special committee of the Treasury department, but no report as to its findings has been made public. Has Another Place. Mr. Ralph, it is understood, will accept the presidency of the United States Intaglio Security company, a new corporation designed to be the largest bank note company in the world. He will receive a salary almost double what the government paid him. Investigation began last June when Representative Jeanette Rankin of Montana filed with Secretary McAdoo charges that Mr. Ralph was overworking women employees at the plant. A committee named to investigate broadened its inquiry to include the manner in which Mr. Ralph had conducted the affairs of the bureau. Mr. Ralph asserts that his resignation "had nothing whatever to do" with the committee's investigation of charges against him. BRITISH CRUISER SUNK BY GERMAN TORPEDO Vessel Attacked Off Iceland Reaches Harbor Before Going to Bottom. London, Oct. 5.—The British cruiser Drake has been torpedoed and sunk, according to an admiralty announcement last night. The Drake was torpedoed off the north coast of Ireland. She reached a harbor but then sank in shallow water. One officer and 18 men were killed by the explosion. The remainder of the ship's company were saved. The Drake was a vessel of 14,500 tons. Her complement was 900 men. A sister ship of the Drake, the Good Hope, was sunk in the battle with the German fleet off Cronel, Chile, in 1914 with a loss of 887 men. SOLDIERS'-SAILORS' BILL IS PASSED BY SENATE Provides Insurance and Protection to the Familied of Fighters. Washington, Oct. 5.—With the $10,000 maximum insurance plan restored as urged by the administration and with an additional provision raising Major General Perching, commanding the American forces in France, and Major General Bliss, chief of Staff, to the rank of general, the soldiers' and sailors' insurance bill, carrying an appropriation of $176,000,000 was passed by the Senate by a vote of 71 to 0 The bill was at once sent to conference where prompt agreement is expected. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., OCTOBER 6, 1917. ITALIAN SHIP WINS DESPITE BIG ODDS AQUILA ENGAGES THREE AUSTRIAN DESTROYERS SINGLE HANDED, ALSO PLANES. FIRE BREAKS OUT IN HOLD Crew Extinguishes Blaze and Then Attacks Three Big Cruisers Which Had Come Upon Washington, Oct. 5.—Details of the Italian cruiser Quilia's fight in the Adriatic with Austrian airplanes, destroyers and cruisers have just reached here today from Rome. They add to the previous cable account a thrilling story of how the gallant Italian ship, while fighting a fire in its hold, drove off the destroyers, was bombed by the hydro-airplanes, and single-handed engaged three Austrian cruisers until help came up and then got safely to port under its own steam. Engages Austrian Destroyers. The Italian naval commander, having learned Austrian ships were moving along the eastern shore of the Adriatic, ordered a squadron of Italian destroyers to attack them. The squadron was preceded by the light cruiser Aquilla. The vessel sighted two Austrian destroyers of the Tatra type, headed towards Cattaro, the Austrian naval base. The Aquilla put on full speed and attacked the destroyers. Fire Breaks Out in Hold. Just as it appeared that the Austrian vessels would be obliged to succumb, a fire broke out on board the Aquilla, which compelled that vessel to suspend the engagement while efforts were being made to subdue the flames. In the meantime a large number of Austrian hydro-airplanes were seen advancing. They soon surrounded the Aquila and began to drop bombs on the ship, causing some damage and killing some of the crew. The Aquila crew had succeeded in extinguishing the fire aboard and attacked the aircraft vigorously, forcing them to withdraw. The hydroairplanes, however, disappeared only to give place to three big Austrian cruisers, the Ayda, Navara and Asparn. Austrian Cruisers Withdraw. Without hesitation, the commander of the Aquila engaged all three ships, meanwhile by wireless calling to his assistance some Italian destroyers cruising in the direction of Durazzo. Very soon the destroyers came up, supported by some English craft of the same type, and the three Austrian cruisers withdrew precipitately, one of them, the Navara, severely damaged, its first commander seriously wounded and the second commander killed. 20,000 U. S. AIRPLANES UNDER CONSTRUCTION Thousands of Men Training Here and Abroad Are to Man Them. Washington, Oct. 5.—Work is in progress on practically all the 20,000 airplanes appropriated for by Congress to carry the war across the Hindenburg lines. Hundreds of American aviation students are already in all the Allied countries completing their training. In addition to the machines being constructed in this country a vast number are being manufactured in Europe to meet immediate demands of the American field forces. Thousands of men are training to fly on the various government fields in America. As fast as they learn the rudiments they are being sent abroad. The first all-American airplane, equipped with the famous Liberty motor, will be overseas in a "reasonable time." America will have every known type of fighting machine—the training airplane, the fast scout plane and the powerful dynamite carrying battleplane of the Caproni type. These giant air dreadnoughts will be used to drop tons of high explosives behind the German lines. Jap Mission Visits Roosevelt. and other members of the imperial Japanese mission visited Colonel Roosevelt at his home at Oyster Bay. The trip was to have been made a day sooner, but was postponed owing to the illness of the viscount and Vice Admiral Takeshita, who were suffering from colds. St. Paul Socialist Paper Barred. St. Paul, Oct. 5.—Postmaster Raths of St. Paul has been advised from Washington that the Minnesota Bulletin, a Socialist organ, published here, has been declared unavailable under the new esplosion law passed in June. MAJ. GEN. G. W. GOETHALS C HARRIS & EWING Major General George W. Goethals, who resigned some time ago as general manager of the United States Emergency Fleet corporation, will devote himself to the manufacture of air planes for use in the war. Announcement of his election as president of the Wright-Martin Aircraft corporation has just been made here. OFFICERS OF PAPER RAIDED PUBLISHERS OF NEWARK FREE ZCITTUNG HELD IN CUSTODY. Federal Authorities Also Seize Two Mail Sacks Full of Documents. Newark, N. J., Oct. 5.—The offices of the New Jersey Freie Zeitung were raided here by federal authorities and the publisher, Benedict Prieth, and two editors, William von Kaepezler and Henry Wechter, were taken into custody. The men were arraigned before a United States commissioner charged with publishing seditious matter. Two mail sacks full of documents were seized. United States District Attorney Lynch led the raid. Prieth had been notified by the authorities at Washington to appear there to answer questions, it is believed, in connection with alleged seditious utterances that had appeared in his paper. The Freie Zeitung was founded in 1858. The publishers were notified last month by the postoffice department to show cause why their paper should not be barred from the malis. Benedict Prieth was to have arrived in Washington at once to make a statement to Postmaster General Burleson. After their release on $5,000 bail, the publishers issued a statement in which they said they always had been loyal to the United States and denied having published treasonable articles. PLANNED TO BURN CITY AND SLAY INHABITANTS Negroes Plotted to Destroy East St. Louis and Massacre Whites, State's Evidence Shows. Belleville, Ill., Oct. 5.—The state in prosecuting 13 negroes on murder charges in connection with the East St. Louis race riots of July 1 and 2, has introduced further evidence to show that a plot existed to burn that city and massacre its white inhabitants. Testimony was presented to indicate the alleged uprising of negroes was carefully planned and that many St. Louis blacks assisted them. Edward Wilson, negro witness, identified each of the defendants and said they were armed on the night of the riots. MILITANT PRISONERS CHARGED WITH MUTINY Result of Rough and Tumble Fight With the Guards in the Workhouse. Washington, Oct. 5.—Militants of the Women's party serving time in the workhouse for demonstrations before the White House, have been charged with mutiny as a result of their rough-and-tumble fight with the guards and negro women prisoners. The development furnishes a new phase for the investigation of conditions at the workhouse undertaken by the Board of Charities on complaint of militants. GERMANS IN WEST QUIT BY HUNDREDS GERMANS IN WEST QUIT BY HUNDREDS LAY DOWN ARMS BEFORE HAIG'S ADVANCE—ALLIES OVERRUN RIDGE. GERMAN STRONGHOLDS FALL Fighting is Among Positions Which Comprise the Crucially Important System of German Defenses—Kaiser Has Much at Stake. London, Oct. 5.—The Reuter correspondent at British headquarters in France says: "Today is one of the great days in army annals. The victory is being proclaimed as one of the greatest since the Marne." British Headquarters, Oct. 5.—The northern wing of the onrushing British troops is battling forward within a short distance of Poelcapple. It had a footing on the famous Gravenstafel ridge, which puts out from the Passchendaele ridge to the west and had crushed through the Zonnebeke Broadseinde ridge, which is an integral part of the Passchendaele-Cheluvelt chain. Surrender by Hundreds. British Front in France and Belgium, Oct. 5.—Field Marshal Haig's forces in the offensive begun east of Ypres, in some places have penetrated the German lines to a depth of one mile and have overrun the crest of the Passchendaels-Gheluvelt ridge. At an early hour the Germans were surrendering by hundreds. Crucial Posts Fall. The British already have penetrated well beyond the hamlet of Broadseinde, in which lie the cross roads formed by the highways between Zonnebeke and Moorsled and Passchendaele and Belclaire. Further to the south Cameron Covert, where there had been much hard fighting, was left well in the rear. The battle was along strongholds which comprised the crucially important system of German defenses along the Passchendaele-Gheluvelt ridge. Progress Satisfactory. Between the village of Broodseinde, on the north, and Noordenhoeck, more than a mile to the south, the British are holding the crest of the ridge in the face of heavy counter-attacks. Striking east of Ypres, the British began another drive at the German lines. Field Marshal Halg has announced satisfactory progress. After Eight Day Interval. The renewal of the Flanders drive comes after an eight-day interval. On Wednesday of last week the British swept forward on both sides of the Ypres-Menln road. Some heavy fighting followed, the Germans making desperate attempts to regain the valuable high ground they had lost. Almost every inch of it, however, was held by the British. U-Boat Bases at Stake. With renewal of the drive the battle of Flanders is growing more and more to resemble last year's battle of the Somme, which was followed by the memorable Hindenburg "strategic retreat." This time, however, the ground which would have to be abandoned would be a far more serious loss to the Germans, for the German-held Belgian coast line, with its submarine and airplane bases is at stake, together with the great French manufacturing city of Lille. FAMINE ALREADY EXISTS IN GERMANY, ASSERTION Those in Bread Line Who Become Restless Are Tortured, Wife of U. S. Army Man Says. San Francisco, Oct. 5.—When bread lines in Mecklenburg, Germany, become restless, men pour hot water on those in line and apply whips unsparingly, according to Mrs. George B. Szadelski, German wife of Sergeant Szadelski, U. S. A., stationed at Honolulu. She is in San Francisco en route to Honolulu after spending five months getting out of Germany. In Berlin, Mrs. Szadelski said, conditions are even worse. Famine, she declares, is not merely imminent, but already is present in Germany. U. 8. Schooner Bunk; Crew Safe London, Oct. 5. — The American schooner Annie F. Conlon has been sunk by gunfire of a German submarine, the admiralty announced today. The attack occurred off the Scilly islands. The crew of eight were landed. Canadian Parliament Dissolved. Ottawa, Oct. 5. — Paving the way for an election the Canadian government has dissolved parliament. The election is expected to take place about the middle of January. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY NO. 86. NO. 36. SOCIALIST DENIES HIS GUILT JACOB BENTALL ANSWERS TWO INDICTMENTS AGAINST HIM. Is Charged With Insubordination, Disloyalty, Mutiny, and Refusal of Duty. Minneapolis, Oct. 5.—Jacob O. Bentall, Socialist candidate for governor of Minnesota at the last election, has pleaded not guilty to two indictments brought in by the federal grand jury. One indictment charges him with attempting to "cause Insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny and refusal of duty in the military forces of the United States." It is based on a speech made at Hutchinson, McLeod county, July 31. The other indictment charges him with urging his hired man, John F. Kassube, against registering for the draft. Attorneys appearing for Bentall asked for time in order that Bentall "might go on with his farm work and complete his fall plowing" before being brought to trial. The government objected to a later date, and it is likely Bentall will be tried some time this month. The Rev. C. H. Lehnert, deposed pastor of the German Methodist church, indicted for violating the postal laws, will be arraigned in a few days. SPECIAL MINISTRY TO DIRECT AIR REPRISALS New Official to Concentrate British Forces Specifically for Raids on German Cities. London, Oct. 5.—Formation of a special ministry to return measure for measure to the Germans for air raids over London is the war cabinet's response to the public demand for reprisals, according to the Chronicle. The special minister, it was asserted, would concentrate British aerial forces specifically for raids over German cities. His duty would be to devise the maximum amount of frightfulness which could be inflicted upon German cities. All official announcement on the matter of reprisals was withheld. * MINNESOTA—Fair and con- * tinned cool today; tomorrow fair * and warmer. STANDING OF THE CLUBS AMERICAN LEAGUE. W. L.

Finding Her Job By George Haskell "Nothing doing," said Ann Hubbell. "I don't suppose there ever will be anything doing with me, except dishwashing and making over old clothes." Ann was a woman over thirty, not pretty, but healthy and wholesome, with clear gray eyes, a large mouth, too-high cheek bones and plenty of shining, light-brown hair. She looked capable and courageous, but little sad, disappointed lines were creeping into her face when she was not smiling. Ann had moments when she would have liked to throw all the dishes out of the window and take an ax to the sewing machine. Probably other women have had the same moments, but all of them have not kept on repressing this inclination for 15 years. Partially aroused by Ann's desperate tone, Mrs. Sweet stopped counting the stitches in her knitting and looked up in a surprised, bewildered way. "There are lots of worse things than dish-washing," was the trite, oracular reply. "Yes," assented Ann; "I suppose having no food to soil the dishes might be worse. It isn't because I want to shirk and be idle. It's because I want to do something else, something of more account." Mrs. Sweet looked with a mixture of curiosity and intolerance at Ann and asked: "What do you want to do?" "Id like to paint, use beautiful colors—" "My land!" broke in the other woman; "there ain't any money in that!" "No," said Ann, "that's just it! And worse luck, it takes money to learn, before you can earn anything. Then, too, I've always wanted to plan beat- W. P. Kars. Paused Before a Florist's Window. tiful rooms with beautiful furniture, and lovely colors in the walls and hangings." "I wouldn't have those heavy curtains and 'porchers' in my house, just catching dust!" Mrs. Sweet broke in emphatically. Ann ignored the interruption, being too full of her subject to halt there. too full of her subject to halt there. "I've got to look at the awful things in this house, and go on standing it, because I can't afford to buy anything else. I've got to make overalls and children's rompers because there's just enough in it to buy my food and shelter. Now, what's the use of spending your life doing something you hate, just to keep your life going?" This question being so far beyond Mrs. Sweet's comprehension that an extra stitch was of vastly more importance, she gave all her attention to her knitting, and Ann, exploding her pent-up mental gases, went on: "I tell you, I've got to the point where I'm sick of it all. Why can't I do something that will earn enough to pay people to do the things I hate to do?" "Well, just as I say, there ain't any money in painting pictures," answered Mrs. Sweet, with the virtuous motive of putting any such frivolous intentions out of the other woman's head. "Oh, there isn't any money in doing anything you want to do!" retorted Ann desperately. "Oh, I don't know. There's old Flack, the blacksmith. He says he ain't happy unless he's hammering iron or putting on a horseshoe. And he told Joe his folks were set on his being a doctor, and he just broke away, and found his job." After Mrs. Sweet went away her last words kept ringing in Ann's ears. "He just broke away and found his job." Unwittingly the woman had given her the text for a sermon she must preach to herself. It was perhaps more of a stimulant than much understanding sympathy might have been. Ann began her sermon to herself, and did not spare her congregation. If she wished to do something she liked, why not start out and try to make ever so small a beginning? She went out walking through the streets of the small town, with no definite plans as to where or how she The Giant Battleplane Coming Soon Italy plans flying machine with 3,500horsepower motors, sacrificing high speed to greatcarryingpower United States will develop science along similar lines at once THOUSAND gigantic warplanes, aircraft with a wing spread of more than 100 feet, each carrying a crew of three men and 2,750 pounds of bombs, rising at night from airdromes along England's east coast; a flight commander for each 25 marshalling his raiders into the V-shaped formation in which wild geese travel on the wing; and then a swift flight across the 275 miles that separate the nearest point of the English coast from the famous Kiel canal, the rush of dropping bombs, the crash of explosions on the earth beneath, the crack of antiaircraft guns, and the flash of antiaircraft searchlights, and then a turn-about and a dash for home, with the Kiel canal and the German fleet a ruin and a wreckage in the rear! This is the picture which Henry Moodhouse, one of the governors of the Aero Club of America has visioned from an inspection of the photograph and the engineering prints of the new 600-horse power Caproni triplane. The craft is the biggest yet employed by Germany or the allies, and yet it is less than a fifth as big as the machine which Italy has under construction, and of which all details are concealed, except that it is to have motors generating between 3,000 and 3,500 horse power. One-half the size of this monster, an airplane driven by three motors, each of 600 horse power, is already constructed, and news of its operation against Italy's Austrian foes is expected daily. Italy is new at the business of aviation. Two years ago she had fewer than 100 men employed in the industry. Today she has thousands and, on the authority of Howard E. Coffin, chairman of the aircraft production board, Italy has outdistanced her enemies and her allies in developing new types of aircraft. Maj. R. Perfetti, head of the special Italian commission for aeronautics in the United States, is an ardent advocate of the huge warplane and accounts which he has been able to supply this government of Italian success in this kind of construction have done much to divorce aerial experts here from their allegiance to the small, light type of craft for the single fighter. The extra weight-carrying capacity of the great machines is the especial argument in their favor and could a thousand such as the Caproni be constructed, manned, armed and loaded with bombs, aviation experts cannot see why the dream of destroying the Kiel canal and the German fleet might not be realized, were the entire thousand to combine in a single raid. The present 600-horse power Caproni is a triplane with two fuselages or bodies and driven by three Flat or Isotta-Fraschini motors, any one of which has sufficient power to keep the craft afloat even were the others to be disabled. The machine is of both the tractor and pusher type, for two propellers are mounted in front and one in the rear. The plane carries a so-called useful load of 4,408 pounds which assures fuel for six hours! together with a crew of three men, three guns, and 2,750 pounds of bombs. It has a speed of close to 85 miles an hour and is capable of climbing 3,250 feet in 13 minutes, 6,500 feet in 27 minutes, and 10,000 feet in 57 minutes. This seems slow in comparison to the Spads which climb 10,000 feet in five minutes or less, but a Spad is simply a flying motor with sustaining strength barely sufficient to support the aviator and a gun. The Caproni is as big as a trolley car. Its wing span is more than 100 feet. It stands 21 feet in the air and it is nearly 50 feet long. The only aircraft which compares with it in size is the British Handy-Page machine, which, with two 280-horse power Rolls-Royce motors, carried 27 passengers, and has a wing spread of 98 feet, and the Curtiss and Gallaudet monsters made in this country. The huge Curtiss triplane air cruiser, with which it was hoped to cross the Atlantic ocean before the war turned the thoughts of aviators into other channels, is a possibility as a Father—"The idee of your calling your teacher a nuisance. What do you mean, str?" Tommy—"Well, that's what you call me when. I ask questions, an' teacher don't do nothin' else."—Boston Transcript. In Jewish marriages the woman is always placed to the right of her mate. With every other nation of the world her place in the ceremony is on the left. should begin. She prayed to be led, and thought that in some way some tangible thing might take shape if it were only a suggestion in her own mind. Loving flowers as she did, she paused before a florist's window. At once the bad arrangement, and the juxtaposition of hues that "fought" each other showed an entire absence of feeling for color. Scarlet geraniums pushed against American beauties, and gorgeous yellow vases tried to down the marigolds they held, it must be confessed with considerable success. Inharmony raged. Annached to get at that window, and arrange the flowers, but it was an exceedingly delicate undertaking to go in and tell the man he didn't know how to sell his wares. Nevertheless she screwed up her courage and entered. "Do you want to sell a good many more flowers than you do now?" she asked. Of course, there could be but one answer to that, and with some incredulity the florist agreed that he did "What you have in that window can be made to show twice as well," said Ann. He grumbled out something about them being well enough as they were, but she persisted. She asked him to let her arrange the flowers. As she did not charge anything for the experiment, he grudgingly gave his consent. She found a brown jar in which the marigolds came out gloriously. The American beauty roses seemed twice as beautiful when their white sisters came over to set off their glowing color, and the scarlet geraniums flamed joyously as far away as possible against a background of green. Masses of violets hobnobbed costly in company with the golden-yellow of crocuses, and harmony wrought wonders with the window. People began to gather about the display to look, and some came in to buy. Ann lingered around for a time to watch the effect. When she started to leave the florist asked her if she could not come the next day and set the window. She gave him to understand that she could only take the time if paid. He agreed to this. The sum was ridiculously small, but she felt it was a beginning. Next she stopped before a drygoods store, and noted the jumble of articles, and the colors that never should have crowded each other. She ventured to go in and make the same proposition she had to the florist, with the same result, except that she was asked to come that evening after closing time to experiment. The propietor said they had been trying a new window-dresser, and he was not exactly pleased with his work. Ann achieved a result that drew admiring crowds to the window. Franklin Budd, the propietor, beamed expansively when Ann appeared the next day, and engaged her as window-dresser at a salary quite beyond her expectations. Before the week was out she was dressing the windows of three different shops. Her ideas were new and original, and soon rival establishments were bidding for her services, and she could charge more for her work. The sewing machine had a rest, and a maid came in and washed the dishes. Franklin Budd, not wishing to lose Ann, asked her to come into partnership, but as he also wanted her to assume the name of Budd, Ann is still considering the offer. She is so much in love with her work, and the delight of having money to spend that she is in no hurry to change her occupation. DISCOVERED AN OLD VOLCANO Layer of Hard Lava, Still Warm, Found at Base of Ragang Mountains, Philippine Islands. The Phillipine islands still are unexplored land to the white man. On a march some time ago, a lieutenant of the constabulary found a lava flow and other evidences of volcanic activity at the base of the Ragang mountains. Recently an exploring party climbed the mountains and now another volcano is being added to the maps. The volcano which the party found consists of three large peaks, between which extends the crater, now quiet. A fourth peak is thought once to have stood at one corner of the crater, for there is evidence that a great explosion shattered it. Vegetation in the form of huckleberry bushes, scrubby trees, small tufts of short grass and Canadian thistle extends to near the top of the peaks. Covering the peaks is a thin crust of hardened lava, which is easily kicked up by the shoe, and the rock underneath is soft, spongy and warm. At innumerable vents an odorless steam was issuing. There was no bubbling lava or signs of a recent lava flow, although on one side there appeared to have been a recent blast of hot gases. The trees there were scorched and burned, while the leaves were still hanging to the dead branches. -Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Benefit to Business The merchant who does the biggest business buys the most goods, and it is the man who buys the most goods who gets goods the cheapest. Here, again, advertising helps the public. The jobber or manufacturer, shipping in bigger quantities to the bigger buyer, receiving his money promptly and being at a smaller expense in various ways, is glad to sell for less to the business man who buys in big quantities. Advertising men know, of course, that if advertising were not a public benefit the advertising store could not long survive, for nonadvertising stores would soon rise on the busy corners of our great cities and drive the great advertising stores out of business.

AIRCRAFT long-distance bomb-carrying machine. for its boat body could be dropped and its weight-carrying ability increased thereby. The new three-motored Gallaudet seaplanet also enters the category of long-distance raiding machines and is suitable for either bomb dropping or torpedo launching. Other American manufacturers are at work on giant models, but as yet details of these have not been announced. Long-distance bombing raids are by no means a novelty, but they have always been conducted with only a few airplanes of limited carrying capacity, which carried only a few hundred pounds of bombs besides the fuel needed for the journey. Among the historic bombing raids for several reasons is the raid on Carlsruhe on June 15, 1915. It was conducted by 23 twin-motored Caudron machines, in charge of Captain de Kertilis, and dropped close to 50 large bombs on Carlsruhe. Three of the machines did not return—they had to land and were captured, but the damage to Carlsruhe was serious. In the very first bombardment of Sofia on April 21, 1916, a single aviator started from Saloniki, flew to Sofia, dropped four bombs and proclamations announcing the capture of Trebizond, and returned to Saloniki. This exploit was repeated by single aviators from time to time; then on September 15, 1916, it was repeated by four aviators who left Saloniki at 6:20 and arrived over Sofia at 8:40. They dropped their bombs, many of which were effective, and returned. They had crossed the Balkan mountains at 6,000 feet without trouble, and had accomplished what an army could not have done. The only limitation was that the airplanes were too few in number to win a decisive victory. In every raid in the Balkans only four or five airplanes participated. Among the most remarkable long-distance bombing expeditions were the raids on Essen and Munich by Captain de Beauchamp and Lieutenant Dancourt on September 24 and November 18, 1916, which have been repeated since by other aviators. The raid on Ludwigshafen, accomplished on May 27, 1915, in which 18 airplanes took part, also involved a flight of about 400 miles. It was conducted successfully, and only one airplane was forced to land and submit to capture. Another classic was the bombing raid on the Mauser works at Oberndorf on October 12, 1916, in which a French bombing squadron and a British bombing squadron participated, escorted by Lafayette Flying corps fighters. These are only a few of scores of such raids. In all these raids the aviators had to fly from five to seven hours continuously under most trying conditions, having to protect themselves with insufficient arms. A night raid in large, well-armed warplanes would be easy in comparison—and much safer. Darkness facilitates airplane work at close range because the aviator can fly closer to his target with little increased danger of counter-attacks but with largely augmented effectiveness. Surprise is made more possible and half of the attack may be accomplished before enemy searchlights can locate the raiders as targets for the antilcraft guns. In a raid of 1,000 or more giant airplanes the task of the defenders would be rendered increasingly difficult beyond all proportion to the difficulty now experienced in repelling raids of a few flyers. The searchlights and antilcraft guns themselves would be made the object of attack and largely incapacitated. The risk of discovery in night atacks could be reduced further, ac Stinginess and greed are to be abhorred. They are at the one extreme, while profligacy and carelessness are at the other. The golden mean of saving thrift is to be found half-way between. Transmitting Tuberculosis. After a long investigation a French scientist has declared that tuberculosis can be transmitted by the perspiration of a person afflicted with the disease, the germs passing through the pores. cording to experts, by the use of silencers on airplane motors. At present the roaring whirr of the motor can be heard for hundreds of feet and almost the slightest hum of a motor can be picked up by the powerful microphones with which all of the combatants are equipped and which magnify the slightest sound. Silencers are not used because of the weight they add to an aircraft, but some experts contend that this weight is more than counter-balanced at present by the excess fuel which machines must carry to enable them to fly high and to maneuver to avoid detection as long as possible. Progress has been made in the art of alming and dropping bombs to the point where accuracy can be assured in night work. According to statistics gathered by Mr. Woodhouse, the bombs now most in use are bombs of 16 pounds weight, 56 pounds, 100 pounds and 112 pounds, with a few of 500 pounds or more. Says Mr. Woodhouse: "Bomb dropping from heights can only be approximately accurate. It can be made more accurate by the employment of efficient bomb sights. A few of the older aviators have learned by long practice to drop bombs accurately without sights, but as a general rule, one can be more accurate with the sight than without it." One difficulty remains in the use of airplanes by night and the inventive faculties of the combatants, spurred on by the exigencies of the war, are rapidly overcoming this. The problem is to provide light for flying operations and for marking aircraft in flight. In England, in the early days of Zeppelin raids, the casualties resulting to pilots who went up at night to attack Zeppellins were very high because of two things: the insufficient number and badly lighted landing places and the lack of lighting devices on the machines. On one occasion 15 pilots went up and 12 had accidents on landing. But these conditions have been changed. A pilot who finds himself in trouble aloft and compelled to land has only to fire his Verys pistol to have at least one aerodrome within gliding distance brilliantly illuminated so that he may land in safety. In addition to the Verys pistol night flying craft are equipped with a parachute flare which is fired electrically from the pilot's seat. On release the flare falls a couple of hundred feet, unfolds and floats downward, casting a brilliant light over the expanse of about a quarter of a mile. Holt's landing lights are another device employed. These are fastened beneath the wings, which aid in reflecting the light downward when they have been ignited electrically. Electric headlights similar to motor car head lights are also used, and night flying machines now have navigation lights comprising a tall light and a light on each wing tip showing white ahead green on the starboard, and red on the port side. Power for these lights is generated in a small dynamo driven by a miniature propeller. With these devices to aid night flying, experts here look forward to the time when raids may be made on the German fleet and submarine bases by big squadrons of giant machines, and the opinion is gaining strength that in such raids lies the solution of the pressent U-boat peril—New York Times.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By REV. P. B. FITZWATR. D. D. Teacher of English in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) PSALMS OF DELIVERANCE. LESSON TEXT-Psalms 85 and 86. GOLDEN TEXT-They that sow in tears shall reap in joy-Psalms 128.5. These Psalms breathe the spirit of the true patriot. The Psalmsist sees his afflicted country suffering for the sins of the people, prays for their restoration to the Divine favor, and with the eagle eye of faith anticipates the joyful day of spiritual and temporal blessings because of restoration to the Divine favor. Doubts such patriotism would be pleasing to the Lord on the part of us all. Psalm 85. I. Praises for Mercies Received (vv. 1-3). Praise is given for (1) Deliverance from Captivity (v. 1). He had in mind the specific mercles of a given time; perhaps it was one of the oppressions of the Philistines from which they had been delivered. (2) Forgiveness of Sin (vv. 2, 3). "Thou hast forgiven the inquity—covered all their sin." God's restoration was the proof that he had pardoned. Great indeed was the sin of Jacob, but God's forgiveness was greater. He is peculiarly a God of mercy. Having forgiven the sin his anger is taken away. He stayed his hand from the judgment which would have justly fallen, to show his mercy. II. Prayer for Restoration From Backaliding (vy. 4-7). He knew how worthless the outward blessings of the Lord would be unless the people inwardly turned to the Lord. He, therefore, besought the Lord to give them the greater blessing, that of a change of heart. Without the change of heart forgiveness would be futile. A change of heart can only be by God's help. (1) That God would turn the hearts of his people toward himself (v. 4). Knowing the people's utter helplessness to turn to God, he cried out to God to save them by turning them to himself. He knew that God's anger could not turn from the people as long as they were impenitent. (2) That God would take away the very remembrance of their sins (vv. 5-7). (a) The ending of his anger (v. 5). The desire seems to be that he would wipe out the very marks of his displeasure by not longer allowing punishment to be meted out to them. (b) The return to the people's joy (v. 6). Their joy could only be realized through a revival from God. The Psalmist now becomes more bold in his requests. (c) Shall show them mercy (v. 7). "Make it visible," is his cry. God's judgment was most real. His desire is that his mercy would be just as real. III. Exultant Anticipation (vv. 8-13). Having spoken the sentiment of the repentant people, the poet expresses confidence of the Lord's response. So faithful is God that those who sincerely pray to him can go forward with the assurance of petitions granted. (1) He will speak peace (v. 8). He knew that a gentle answer would come, but its continuance would depend upon the fidelity of the people. Turning to folly would provoke again his wrath. (2) Will bring his salvation near (v. 9). Only as his salvation was near could glory be in the land. (3) Devise a way by which "Mercy and truth." "Righteousness and peace," may be united (vv. 10, 11). He did not suggest a way. He may not have known it. Faith now sees the way in Christ. In him such a union has been blessedly effected. (4) The land shall become fruitful (v. 11). When sin is removed, temporal prosperity shall follow. Earth's barrenness is due to sin. When the curse is removed fruitfulness shall follow. (5) Righteousness shall be the guide of his people (v. 12). In that golden, glad age God's righteous ways will leave a track in which his own may walk with security. Psalm 126. I. The Fact of Zlon's Deliverance (vv. 1, 2). (1) By whom (v. 1). The Lord. (2) Effect of (vv. 1,2). (a) The people were scarcely able to believe it. So sudden and unexpected was their deliverance that it seemed to them as a dream. They expressed their feeling in joyful laughter. (b) The heathen noted their deliverance as marvelous, and ascribed it to God (v. 2). Farmers Help Neighbor Centralia, Wis.-Merritt Baker of Ford's Prairie has been too ill this spring to put in his crops.

BOOMED SALE OF LIBERTY BONDS Mrs. William Gibbs McAdoo, wife of the secretary of the treasury, and youngest daughter of President Wilson, boomed the Liberty Bond sale to such good advantage that it is said her personal efforts added $10,000,000 to the total. She confined her work principally to women, addressing clubs and forums and urging her sisters to show their patriotism by letting go of a little of the coin of the realm that was being saved up for a rainy day. Her stepson, young William G. McAdoo, Jr., enlisted as a seaman. He is cruising around looking for such submarines as may come this way.

McClellan, former mayor of New York city, who left a professorship at Princeton to study ordinance at Frankford arsenal, Philadelphia, where he has been for the last three months, has been appointed a major in the ordinance department of the army, assigned to service at the port of embarkation at New York. With him are Captain Colton of the regular army, acting as his assistant, and, it is understood, a number of Princeton students and graduates, who are taking courses similar to that which their teacher pursued, will be named to aid him. McClellan shortly after college closed in June quietly disappeared from the campus and it was thought by his associates he was spending his vacation as usual at an exclusive resort near Gloucester.

Reports coming here show he was most proficient and mastered the technical side of the manufacture of guns quickly. In the opinion of the ordnance department chiefs he is especially qualified to supervise the embarkation of ammunition for use abroad. General Crozier, chief of ordnance, said that McClellan had done what few men of his age and inclination would do. He went through the entire ordnance department at the Frankford arsenal as an ordinary mechanic and few knew his other than George McClellan while he was there. McClellan, it is said, was most anxious to get into this war. He comes from a fighting family and, while too old to do strenuous military duty, he insisted he should be allowed to do something for his country. President Wilson and the war officials were very sympathetic with his ambition and, to their surprise, he worked harder than most of the young men at the student camps. Mal. George B. McClellan will go down in history along with his father, Gen. George B. McClellan of the Civil war. He is enlisted in the ordnance department as a reserve, and as such he will serve until the end of this war and obtains a leave from Princeton university to do so. Gen. Lulgi Cadorna, chief of staff of the Italian army, which, under his leadership, is making its triumphant way toward Trieste, passed through the first three years of the war almost unnoticed. But the campaign he was quietly planning during that period now is reaching fruition, and in consequence he stands out today as one of the great figures of the war. The following excerpts from a personality sketch published in the Boston Evening Transcript reveal to some extent the secret of his growing fame and popularity. Says the writer, Amy A. Bernardy: "Not easily elated by success, fully and calmly confident in his strength and in that of his men, devoted to Italy with the deep devotion that needs no words to be expressed; built, mind, and body, on generous lines; radiating power and energy from his whole countenance; and above all simple, un- ch of humor, and a great reserve fund fully the love of his soldiers, the gratie world.

PIRATES ARE NOT NOW IN DEMAND Market for Adventurers Falls Flat as Result of the War. Employment Agency for Soldiers of Fortune Quits Business—Last Institution of the Kind in the World. New York.—Demand for freebooters, filibusters and pirates of various degrees of legality is at a low ebb. The war has killed both the call on these gentry and the supply on them. Adventurers of the whole world, almost to a man, are in the armies fighting the great war. Many have fallen. At the same time international expeditions do not have the free and easy time of it they enjoyed in the past. Armed enterprises starting inside their boundaries are frowned on more than of yore by the United States and all other strongly organized governments. These were the facts learned recently when it became known a kind of magazine employment agency for soldiers of fortune had quit business. It is believed to have been the last clearing house of the kind in the world. Brought Adventurers Together. The magazine in question ran a regular department where those who planned storage, exotic and desperate ventures could get in touch with kinked spirits. The publication made an effort to bar out illegal enterprises, with what success it is impossible to say. But a good idea of the kind of thing that has passed with the coming of the world war may be got from the following three notices picked out of the once-a-month advertisement column in this section of the magazine: "Wanted—Fifteen or twenty men to join me on the greatest adventure in the world. Must be gentlemen, experienced adventurers, dead shots and no boozers. Don't want anybody who A All Must Be Good Shots and Afraid of Nothing.

"I want the following men for a South Sea exploit: A gold miner, experienced in placer mining and assaying; a gasoline engineer; a mess boy, not under fifteen; a private secretary who can keep a record of the trip for publication; preferably one who can operate a moving-picture camera. All must be good shots, and afraid of nothing, and able to pay their own expenses. Will give them each 15 per cent of gross earnings. This is sure to be a profitable venture. Address J. C. H., care of this magazine." "Strong and intellectual men—no boozez—who can keep their mouths shut, are wanted to help me dig up buried treasures under the altar of an old Inca temple. If a fool or a detective should babble, there are unscrupulous parties who would not hesitate to charter a steamer, follow us, and sink our vessel with all on board as soon as they got an inking of our destination." Some More Calls. Here are some more calls for men from the magazine departments: "Men wanted to hunt birds of paradise in Borneo." "Moving picture operator and wireless expert for a trip to Lhasa." "Good men on a trail, not afraid of wolves, cold nights, hunger or mosquitoes, to go on a long hunt for possible surviving mastodons in Canada." "Men to help dig up a deposit of bones of prehistoric animals in northern Indiana, with the object of selling them to museums." "I want to get in touch with a gentleman; he must be a good fellow." "I am a Vassar graduate going on an exploring trip up the Mackenzie. Want several healthy, cultured ladies, willing to be fused or fired on display of discontent. No objection to suffragettes if young healthy, strong and not militant." New York.—Prospecting for gold by airplane is a job quite out of the ordinary, but that is what Mrs. Frances K. Dyas is going to try. Mrs. Dyas lives in Prescott, Ariz., and she holds the record of having been the first woman in the state to obtain a license as a stock broker. She was able to get the license because of her maxim that woman can do anything she wants to, provided she makes up her mind to do it. "I came to New York," she said, "to interest folks in several propositions, and after I had been here a while I saw the first airplane I had ever seen in my life. This caused me A biplane flying over a mountainous landscape.

"The mountains I have particular reference to are the Bradshaw range, 60 miles across a big desert and full of rich gold ore. It has, however, never been gone over because of its inaccessibility, and this I hope to remedy by means of an airplane. Ore brought back by Indians from this range has been assayed at $1,000 a ton. "You see," Mrs. Dyas continued, "the desert is of sand, in which you sink to your knees. It has been almost impossible to carry supplies across it. But I am sure the airplane idea will prove practicable." HERE'S DOUBLE BIGAMY WITH PECULIAR TWIST Rome, Ga.—Double weddings, bigamy, divorce and convictions were almost inextricably mixed in the testimony brought out in the divorce suits filed by Mrs. J. H. Teems and Mrs. M. B. Teems, sisters, from their husbands, who were brothers. The couples were married at a double wedding in 1908. Four years later the brothers left their wives to go West. In Colorado they again met, wooed, and married sisters, without having obtained divorces from sisters No. 1. Then followed a sentence of two years for bigamy and application of wives No. 1 for divorces, which were granted. SAYS CAT THEFT IS CRIME Chicago—Fellinus pestiferous is the variety of cat most recently studied by the medical research men at the University of Chicago. The university obtained this species from Peter Kerrigan, who, in turn, hired four boys to catch cats at 15 cents per cat. And did these kids catch cats? They got everything that could say "Mur-row," including a prize angora belonging to Edwin Kirkbride. Kerrigan was fined $10 and costs for this, although the defendant mopped his brow and said: "I never thought they'd steal cats—I just wanted the stray ones." TOTS TRAPPED IN A CLOSET Youngsters, Lost From Home Are Found in Cupboard of a Deserted House. Clinton, Wis.—After more than 100 citizens of this and adjoining towns had searched for a day for two children of Alfred Yandry, the father found them in the cupboard of a deserted house near his home. The cupboard had been built in a small closet, enclosed by a door. Willie Yandry, aged five, was dead. His little sister, Beatrice, aged three, was asleep on a shelf above where the boy's body lay. A crack in the door had admitted enough air to keep her alive. A spring lock had fastened them in. The HOME BEAUTIFUL Flowers and Shrubbery Their Care and Cultivation A Peas Loaded With Pods Filled to Bursting. GARDEN WORK IN SEASON I have never had such good results from summer fertilizing in the garden as I have this season. In the first place I have a splendid place for a garden. Not many years ago it was the bottom of a big slough on an Illinois prairie, with a deep soil made up of humus from a long line of decayed roots or water-growing grasses and plants. The land was put in cultivation a good many years ago and not long after put down to grass and kept in pasture until last year when it was appropriated for a garden back of the new house. Last year a splendid crop of weeds was grown in the garden. Not by me, please understand, for I have a constitutional antipathy for weeds, inherited from a long line of farmer ancestors. I might have expected a very good garden this year without special attention further than good cultivation, but I know that garden vegetables are voracious feeders and concluded to supply mine with all they could take care of by putting on commercial fertilizer. The land was plowed last fall, turned under the weeds which were from waist to shoulder high. This spring a beautiful crop came on and was worked into the soil before the garden was planted. Then a good grade of commercial fertilizer was used in row and hill of everything that was planted except the corn and beans. I was afraid to feed these crops too well. As a check, pieces of rows were left unfertilized. I planned to keep these without fertilizer during the summer, but when I saw how far they were falling behind, I began to work the fertilizer in around the rows and hills which had been left unfertilized. I also worked it in the other crops as I cultivated them and from the start that garden has grown until the neighbors asked what kind of seeds I planted. I have a pretty good check by having a neighbor's garden near enough to observe, the land being the same as mine. I have used commercial fertilizer at the rate of almost four pounds to the acre. Lettuce and onions have responded in a surprising way. When one can grow hends of lettuce which are two feet across, one need not ask for anything more. Onions from seeds made a growth such as I had never seen anywhere. Every time these crops have been cultivated a very light coat of fertilizer has been scattered along each side of the rows and worked into the soil. Peas, of the same sort a neighbor planted, were twice as high and loaded with pods filled to bursting. Squashes, beets, potatoes, melons, came as near growing fast enough to see as any ever did. I know perfectly well that I overdosed this garden, but the part of the fertilizer that the crops of this year have not used will not get away but will remain for next year. I believe THE BROCCOLI Chrysanthemums Are Always Reliable, Showy and Popular. in using fertilizer of some kind as long as the crop is cultivated. I would prefer well-rotted manure, which has not been leached too much, but I cannot get this and I am using the next best thing—a complete commercial fertilizer. Clean cultivation and plenty of plantfood will make garden very profitable. STORING MANURE FOR THE GARDEN By LIMA R. ROSE. A common practice is to manure the garden every year, late in the fall or before planting in the spring, no further attention being given. This practice, however, is not the best. The manure for the garden should be kept in a large box with a lid or so screened that files cannot enter it. Manure herps are the natural breeding places of those pests and if they are allowed to remain near the house uncovered will prove a great nuisance. A good plan is to use a very close wire screen malled to a frame with hinges for the top. The manure should be spaded often on the top so that the water from the clouds or the sprinkling pot may penetrate to all portions of it. If kept in a box a spout should be placed in one corner, at the bottom, so that the water may drain into a sunken barrel. This will supply liquid manure, which can be used at all seasons when vegetables and flowers are growing. The manure in the box should be worked over once or twice a month, working the bottom on the top so that the entire heap may rot. Manure may be kept in this way if the boxes are placed at the farthest end of the garden, and if surrounded with vines their presence will never be noticed from the dwelling. FLOWERS IN THE HOME By LIMA R. ROSE. Stick to the standards unless you are experienced. It is hard to keep flowers in a room where gas is used. Pot Easter lilies in good, rough, open soil in clean pots. Do not try to grow ferns if you cannot give them moist atmosphere. It is better to buy rooted carnation slips than risk them yourself if you are inexperienced. Get the hanging baskets and plants for them ready for use on the porch and in the sunroom. Ivy geraniums are fine house plants, with beauty of both flower and foliage. Give them a small pot. For the first year their growth is slow. The blossoms, either pink, red or white, are beautiful. SUNFLOWER FOR POULTRY On most every poultry farm the sunflower is now one of the established crops, as the seeds are highly valued as an excellent and cheap food for all classes of poultry.

MANNING'S VIEWS ON THE EXODUS FROM THE SOUTH Southern Woes Mik sive Denial of Justice Is Responsible. The colored people are leaving the south by the thousand, more want to Jeave, and more are going to leave, says the Hon, Joseph C. Manning, a former amember of the Alabama legislature, in a letter to the New York Sun. It is more than a wish to better thelr eco- nomic condition that is causing this departure of Negroes from the south. It 1s more a sort of quiet revolution ‘against tho. oppression and repression to which scuthern Negroes have been esubjected for many years. ~The spirit of revolution has manifest- ed itself in simply leaving the south, (Of course the demand for labor in the north opened the door of opportunity, ‘but the restiveness of the Negro in the far southern stated was such that the point was reached where, for better or for worse, the desire to get away had taken strong hold.

Lynching has something to do with adding to the feeling that has brought about this exodus; but, strange as it may. seem, the terror of lynching does not go so far in deeply moving the southern Negro as does the loss of his rights as a citizen. 3 A Negro minister who was recently 4n Georgia, Florida, Alabama and oth- er southern states is authority for the statement that leading Negro ministers and many leading Negroes indorse the movement to get away from the south, advising their congregations that It means protection under the law, the right of citizenship, better educational advantages for their children and free- dom from the increasing wrongs of ‘the south. This subject of the,coming north of @outhern Negroes wa» discussed at a veekly meeting of Baptist ministers in New York city, aud as a leading minister who had been south told of the wholesale departure of southern Negroes -for the north, crying out to “let them come,” there was a chorus of “Amen.” These people coming up from the south to the states of the north and west will soon be voters, and their Jeaders In this section are keeping this 4m mind. Never before has there been such a united movement on the part ‘of the ministers of the north among the colored people in the matter of urg. ing Negro voters to qualify for voting. “You want to help those left down there in the south by voting up bere,” 4e the way the ministers in the north are putting their appeals. ‘There 1s a great demand for labor- ers now and Negroes are being em- ployed where before they were “not wanted.” As a rule, they are making ood and their efficiency will over- ome much of the general prejudice against them. The Negro\has been @enied the privilege of employment mostly because of the ignorance of ‘many employers. Since the Negro la- orer has better opportunities, he will be a better citizen. Thé so-called race- ‘problem will soon pe solved because ‘There !s no Negro problem; it is the ‘white man’s; and its only solution is an intelligent consideration for the Ne- ‘gfo as a man and an acknowledgement ‘of his right to earn his living on equal Yooting with other citizens., * Owing to an increase in cost, we ‘hase raised our prices on all composi- ,« Reading notices will be 10¢c per ‘BBs Grdur one inch and 50c per inch wi A a Ta I 8 ee er See a i Bs nr ns roy NEGRO NAMED AS WAR ASSIST: ANT.

Scott, for 18 years confidential secretary of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. His appointment as 2 special assistant was announced by Secretary Baker. Mr. Scott is the secretary of the Tuskegee Institute and National Ne gro Business League. ‘We have some among our advertis- ers and subscribers who are a credit to our race for their business-like methods. They pay promptly in ad- vance and expect nothing unreason: able in return. Others want to know “Why we can't ‘trust’ them?” or serid a bill, and then a collector, and finally censor a Negro editor because he can't run his paper “like the white man.” Few persons realize that it pays to pay as you go. The Star is not an installment plan proposition. It is a real newspaper run under many dif. culties mostly due to the foolish no tions and ignorant whims of those whom it serves and protects and from whom it should get its support and their consideration. DR. SHEPARD GETS RESULTS. Se ee ee: eee ee nae ee ee Evokes Strong News Editorial. ‘The Greensboro (N. C.) Daily News recently carried the following editorial on Governor Bickett's letter to Dr. James EB. Shepard in answer to the latter’s plea against the lynching of col- ored people, with especial reference to the Memphis and East St. Louis hor- rors, Governor Bickett’s letter to Dr, James B. Shepard, president of the National Training school at Durham, expresses well the North Carolina attitude to- ward the Negro man, President Shepard asked seventeen governors to issue appeals to the people of their states protesting against the lynching of a helpless race. ‘The Negro educator desires to see a country in which his own people “may live and hope.” ‘The intimation that living and hoping become increasingly dificult in the light of “lynchings north and south” gives the governor his opportunity to invite the Negro back home. Various assignments of causes bebind the negro exodus to the north bave been given, but Dr, Shepard has struck upon one that bears the appearance of epigrammatic force—"‘the right to live and hope.” Better wages naturally have contributed to a condition that has greatly disturbed the south. Sur face indications of lesser racial feeling must have moved many to seek the north. ‘The right, to live and hope po- Utleally has done’ a deal to encourage the move northward. Nevertheless the northern and west- ern press is not so sure that the treat- ment of the black man has justified so radical an expedient. The Chicago ‘Tribune in a series of stinging, edito- rials the last several days has" stum- bled upon a fundamental truth. ‘The south will lynch a Negro, the Tribune says, but the south never lynches “the nigger.” ‘The south will break out oc- castonally into a hideous orgy of tor. ture and mutilation against one man, but nover against his whole family or his community, It {s not a very fiat- tering picture of the vaunted liberality of the north and west that the Tribune draws. ‘ Whatever advantages the colored man may feel other sections offer him, it 1s undeniably true that the sout2 gives him his highest right to live If by that is meant the provision of the pirwenl -misaus ot cresting: « iiveli- jood, And without such right it ts foolish to talk of hope. In Durham the great democracy of work finds its highest expression, ‘There is a wealthy colored man, ex-slave, named Fitzger- ald. Nobody pretends that anybody makes a brick equal to Fitzgerald's, ‘and Fitzgerald bas grown rich because he 1s an artist in his business. And nobody ever drew the color line on one of Fitzgerald's bricks.

BOND ISSUE SUCCESS SURE 8 OOS eee First Day. Washington, Oct. 4.—Liberty Loan financing was marked by over-sub- scription of the largest issue of short time treasury certificates of indebt- edness ~put out by the government, $400,000,000. The certificates bear 4 per cent interest, mature December 15, and may be redeemed sooner upon ten days’ notice. The amount of over-sub- scription was not stated but the taking of the entire issue, $100,000,000 great- er than any previous offering, with a margin to spare, was regarded as pre- saging the success of the second Liber- ty bond issue. ‘The day's offering of certificates brings the total up to $1,250,000,000, or more than 40 per cent of the minimum set by Secretary McAdoo for the sec- ond Liberty loan.

TEUTON RAIDER OFF BRAZIL Officers of American Steamer Say They Saw Her. An Atlantic Port, Oct. 4.—Officers of an American steamer here reported sighting what they believed to be a German raider off the Brazilian coast recently. When first seen the ship appeared to be a three masted schoon- er in distress, but as the American boat appeared she made off under auxiliary power. The officers said the strange ship flew no flag, and had her decks piled with lumber, an odd deck house and a dummy funnel.

BETHEL’S ABLE MINISTER. Baltimore Church Makes New Finan- cial Record Under Dr. Brooks. ~Baltimore—What was the biggest Yally ever held in a colored church in Baltimore came to an end on Sunday, Tuly 29, when about $5,000 was report- ed in the effort at Bethel A. M. E. church. ‘The rally was planned by the Rev. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, who has been pastor of the church since last April.’ As Dr, Brooks raised over §7,- 500 in one effort while pastor of St. Paul A. M. E, church, St. Louis, the rally here created general interest. "This interest was heightened by the fact that Rethel church has « debt ap- Proximating $75,000. Since Dr, Brooks has been here the attendance and col- lections at the church have increased threefold. For the purposes of the ral- ly the workers were divided into three groups called annual conferences, each of which was presided over by « “bishop.” ‘The first two reports by conferences ‘and bishops follow: Thousand dollar conference, Bishop John Williams, $057.75; Earthquake, Bishop Theodore White, $441.13; Turncoat, Bishop A.

TO PREPARE FOR PEACE CONGRESS Colonel House Undertakes Unusual Task at Request of President Wilson. DOES NOT AIM TO END WAR Work Is to Equip Government With Data That Will Be Important When the Hostilities Come to a Close. New York.—Col. E. M. House, who was asked by President Wilson to undertake the task of preparing data for the use of the United States when the warring nations gather about the conference table to discuss peace terms, has entered actively upon the performance of his unusual duties. His first move was to select Dr. John H. Finley, commissioner of education of the state of New York, as his chief assistant. Doctor Finley will bring to the work all the information which he gathered on a recent trip to Europe, where he made an extensive study of conditions. Emphasis is laid upon the fact that the appointment of the president's intimate friend and counselor to this position is not indicative of any move for peace at this time but is merely preparatory to the peace conference which must come inevitably at some time in the future. The selection of Doctor Finley is indicative of the sort of experts with whom Colonel House will confer. No man or woman with a preconceived opinion which might tempt one to color circumstances so as to prove the correctness of a personal point of view will be permitted to participate in a work where open-mindedness is a prerequisite to the arrival at conclusions that will enable the government to determine upon a correct policy. Emphasis is put upon the unalterable determination that neither professional pacifists nor confirmed militarists can be in the slightest degree useful in preparing statistics for governmental guidance, which must be without taint of bias. In an interview Colonel House made it plain that his appointment does not indicate any thought of immediate peace is now being entertained by the United States government. He agrees with Lord Northcliffe in his message delivered before the American Bankers' association in Atlantic City that peace seems far off and America should beware the trickery and treachery of such propaganda. The truth is that this effort on the part of the United States to analyze war conditions and evolve a plan of procedure when hostilities end is a belated one, just as our military preparations lagged for a period. But now it is "full steam ahead and damn the torpedoes" with our army and navy with not a thought of let-up in mind, so from now on there will be urgent prosecution of search for material, historical and informative, concerning the world war. This quest of data will keep pace with an energetic prosecution of the contest, but will not halt it in any way. To pause now in any phase of belligerent endeavor might make the prospect of peace even more remote than it seems at present. No Sign of Early Peace. The government sees nothing whatever to indicate the early approach of pence, nor will Colonel House have anything to do with ascertaining the point of view of either the Entente belligerents or the central powers, or possible terms upon the basis of which they might be willing to enter into negotiations. He will remain in the United States. It is possible that the state department will be able to afford him aid in the work he has undertaken, but he will not work with the department now in a diplomatic capacity, formal or informal. He will have no title and will receive no salary. The appointment of Colonel House affords another illustration of the expanding position of the United States in world affairs. Heretofore the state department has been equipped with virtually all the information that was necessary to the solution of international problems in which the United States has taken a direct interest. The war has brought new problems and projected this country into a field of international activity which it has seldom entered before. The questions which will come before the peace conference at the end of the war will be multitudinous. The freedom of the seas, the neutralization of seaways, the political homeogeneity of peoples who claim the right of self-government and the disposition of territorial possessions involving economic, historical and political questions, will be some of the many subjects to be considered, and the information upon which conclusions may be based and policies decided must be at hand. With exclusive European problems. TOLD IN A PARAGRAPH When he was between thirty-two and thirty-six, Whitman wrote Leaves of Grass. Plans are being made to clear vast tracts of land in the Straits Settlements for the production of bananas. it is not expected that the representatives of the United States at the peace council will be concerned. But in the disposition of general questions, relating to economic intercourse and political development which will affect virtually all the nations of the world, the United States will have a potent voice. In accordance with the policy that has been consistently followed since the outbreak of the war of holding aloof from European combinations except in the prosecution of the war, this government probably will not attempt to aid in the settlement of traditional European quarrels, except possibly as a matter of friendly interest if opportunity arises. House Likely to Be Delegate. It was said unofficially that when the time comes to organize a peace conference, Colonel House, by virtue of his present assignment, would in all probability be selected as one of the delegates from the United States. It will be a part of Colonel House's task to gather intelligence relating to commercial, economic and political situations abroad. He will keep abreast of developments in all non-military affairs. Colonel House will have associated with him, as has been stated, several experts, probably college professors, economists and specialists in commercial and financial affairs. The work he is to perform will not be connected with similar undertakings in any of the countries with which the United States is associated in the war. The United States government isn't getting ready to enter into peace negotiations with Germany, isn't going to meddle in strictly European questions relating to the war, and isn't negotiating just yet on the problems of peace with the Entente, as has frequently been surmised. Must Have Data in Advance. It is important for the United States government now and will be even more important later on to have a so-called "who's who and what's what" in the war in order that all phases involved may be properly understood by reference to data compiled in advance. Prince Talleyrand maneuvered, and successfully, according to the rules of a secret diplomacy. He really worked in behalf of selfish and nationalistic interests. The partitioning of Europe by the congress of Vienna was the outcome of arbitrary compromise; it was prolific of future wars. The knowledge which the great diplomatic exponent of France displayed was more comprehensive than that of his foes, that is all. Excepting that he recognizes the need of precise information, President Wilson acts upon a principle different from that which guided Talleyrand. He will urge this nation into no alliance, even with the nations with whom it is associated in the common war against the Teutonic powers. He proposes simply to equip himself with knowledge pertinent to the rights of all nations in common with America as they may be concerned by the proceedings of the peace conference. To Show War Aims. In this spirit the president has asked Colonel House to survey the field of military, naval and political conditions in the countries of our enemies and our friends; to get at the economic, political and emotional state of things in every country, and to tell frankly to Great Britain, Russia, France, Italy and the neutral powers the things that we are doing and that we intend to do in the war. Moreover, an attempt will be made to lift the heavy curtain of censorship in Germany and Austria-Hungary, in order to spread among their peoples a comprehension of American war alms and potentialities. Officials are anxious that no impression should be created, as a result of Colonel House's appointment, of any intention to start peace negotiations in the near future. So far as the attitude of the United States is concerned, the president's reply to the pope still remains the unaltered view of the government here. The appointment of Colonel House is recognition by the government of the fact that the adjustment of peace terms will be a very complicated proceeding. Many points of dispute must be settled. Questions of all sorts, economic, political, and historical, will come up for discussion, and the American delegates must be forearmed with a mass of information and statistical data to meet every situation. No data concerning present conditions in Germany or Austria will come within the scope of Colonel House's work, as this would come under "military information."

Since the beginning of the war about 750,000 have been sent from the United States to Europe, and reports show a decrease of about 33,000 in the number of horses in this country for the year 1916 and 1917.

DEFICIENCY BILL IS ADOPTED Senate Accepts Conference Report in Three Minutes. Washington, Oct. 5.—Within less than three minutes the Senate adopted the conference report on the war urgent deficiency appropriation bill, carrying $7,757,434,410 in cash and authorized contracts. The House is expected to adopt it and send it to President Wilson at once. The measure is said to be the greatest of the kind in the history of any government. It emerged from conference between the two houses in which items involving over $780,000,000 had been in dispute and went through the Senate, in record-breaking time without the formality of a roll call. The bill carries $5,355,976,016.93 of direct appropriation and authorizes the government to enter into contracts for $2,401,458,393.50 more, almost entirely for war purposes, including the navy's great destroyer program. SWEDISH CABINET RESIGNS Result of Their Defeat at Recent Elections. Stockholm, Oct. 4.—The Swedish ministry has resigned, but King Gustave has requested the ministers to retain their portfolios for the present. The ministry was defeated in the recent elections. Since the elections there has been talk of a change in the government, the result of the inner political situation and questions of foreign policy. The disclosure concerning the close connection of German diplomats in Argentina and Mexico in sending of dispatches through Swedish legations have had no little bearing on the reports of a probable change in the ministry. HINDENBURG IS CALLED HERO German Field Marshal Praised by Kaiser at Celebration. Amsterdam, Oct. 4.—The celebration of Field Marshal von Hindenburg's birthday at German main headquarters began with a visit from Emperor William, who presented to the field marshal a marble bust of the "A Highest War Lord." The field marshal praised the army and those who remained at home. He called for cheers for the emperor, who invited to dinner all who had called to offer birthday congratulations. In his speech the emperor praised the field marshal as "the hero of the German people," to whom it is granted to accomplish deeds of world and historical greatness. Minneapolis Boy Decorated. Paris, Oct. 4.—A war cross has been awarded by the French government to Harold E.

BY OUTSIDE CAR TO BLARNEY CASTLE WHENEVER you make the trip out from Cork, Ireland, to Blarney Castle, be sure to turn a cold shoulder upon the modern tramway and upon the motor car. The only way to go is by the "outside car," or jaunting car, for this is so entirely Irish. Up you will clamber to the rather rickety step of the car, thence to the swinging platform for the feet, upon which you must maneuver in some way to turn about and take your seat. Probably you and your neighbor—if you have one on your side of the car—will laugh a great deal and clutch each other excitedly; if you have the seat to yourself, you must curl one knee up before you, in somewhat the way a woman does in riding sidesaddle, brace yourself against the iron end to the seat and cling tightly. There's a knack in riding on an outside car which it needs a little time to acquire. But, no matter, you are off—swinging around corners and jolting over the cobblestones, through the city, across a river and into the sweet green valley of the Lee which leads to the village of Blarney. If it is spring, the trees are all daintily, fluffily palet green, the yellow primroses are beginning to show themselves and, perhaps, there is here and there a hedge of brilliant golden gorse. Birds are singing all around you, too, and the river ripples gently over its stones; but the probabilities are that your driver will talk so much that you will not hear the music of the river. He will tell you all about how it was Cormac MacCarthy, back in the fifteenth century, who built Blarney castle; and how, although the place now belongs to a local landowner, all the MacCarthys of the countryside still feel that they own the place and are certain that it will one day come back into the hands of the family. Every MacCarthy who plows a field, within sight of the old jagged keep of Blarney castle, looks up at it with pride and a sense of rightful ownership. Of course, everyone knows that he who kisses the Blarney stone is supposed to gain the gift of eloquence. The legend goes that the original Cormac McCarthy the Strong one day rescued a woman from the lake; and this woman was so grateful that she offered, by way of showing her thanks, to give Cormac a golden tongue. But, she made one condition; in order to get it, he must kiss a particular stone, five feet below the top of the parapet of Blarney Castle. Naturally, Cormac leaped up the winding steps of the keep, two steps at a time, ran around the path which encircled the inner court, lowered himself to where he could reach the stone which the woman had indicated, and hastily kissed it. Presumably he was afterwards possessed of marvelous eloquence, and this is the reason why all other visitors to Blarney have wanted to kiss -that stone, too -if they are both daring and steady-headed. For this feat is not altogether an easy one. But, by this time, your driver has put you down by the little Blarney railway station, bidding you cross the tracks and take a path through' the woods, close by a tiny stream. In a few moments you come out into an open field, where, sure enough, a MacCarthy is hoeing the rows; and there, before you, looms the great keep of Blarney Castle. The keep is practically all that remains today, though around its foot there huddle numerous crumbling walls and archways, which show that there were other buildings, too. Not far away is Blarney Lake, about which the man hoeing the rows tells you a curious story. "Two o' the gentry," he is saying, "war one while jist ather discussin' how deep was Blarney Lake. Wan o' thim said it was bottomless, an' the other wan he allowed how that was novays possible at all. So they agreed they'd sink down two divers. This thing they done pristinly, the gentry thimselfs a-standin' by the lakeside and awatchin'. Down wint them divers, but they niver come up at all; and, though the gentry klp a-watchin' and a-waltin', niver did they see thim divers again. But, afther eight weeks it was, they had a letter from thim, and they was in Australia. They were so!" Up on the Castle. And so you leave the MacCarthy, so Kissing the Blarney Stone. Blarney Castle. full of wonderful and mysterious tales, and wend your way to the castle. You take your time climbing the spiral, uneven stone steps of the keep, for they are very steep and long. But, at last, you reach the top and stop to look east, west, north and south, at the charming views; little green and brown fields, marked off by hedges, dark clumps of woodland, here and there a sparkling blue lake or a dazzling clump of gorse. But you soon hear stifled shrieks and exclamations from the other side of the parapet, so you make your way to the spot. Yes, there someone is about to kiss the Blarney stone. A big stalwart youth is lying down upon his back, his head towards a square opening in the outer wall of the parapet; another strong youth, perhaps two of them, sit down upon his feet, so as to hold them firmly. Then the seeker after eloquence grasps an iron bar, placed in position for this purpose, swings himself down through the opening in the parapet referred to, pulls himself up again on the outside, and just manages to kiss the surface of the Blarney Stone; then, being strong and lithe, he jerks his head back in again and suddenly he is again sitting up on the floor of the parapet and the others boys are letting go of his feet. It wasn't so hard to do after all, you think; at least, not if you are a strong young boy who does not mind looking down all those giddy feet to the trees growing against the foot of the keep. But, doubtless, you are wise enough to content yourself with watching others kiss the Blarney Stone and with buying a post card showing the famous stone, with its Latin inscription, "Cormac MacCarthy Fortis Me Fleri Fect, A. D. 1446," which, translated in Irish, means "Cormac Macarthy, bould as bricks, Made me in Fourteen Forty-six." Really, you know, it does not pay to go to the trouble of kissing the stone, for it may even not be the identical one which Cormac MacCarthy the Strong knew. Many people insist that that stone was long ago removed from its position, that this is not the genuine stone at all; at any rate, it seems that the stone once fell from its place. Probably it is as well to acquire eloquence in some other way. TOLSTOY NO MUSIC LOVER Great Russian Voiced His Aversion to Wagner In Particular In Terms Beyond Misunderstanding. Some journals of Leo Tolstoy that have been published show, among other things, that he had a peculiar taste in music. He did not admire Beethoven, and he could not sit through a single act of Wagner's "Slegfried." Of this opera he wrote: "It is stupid, unfit for children above seven years of age, a Punch and Judy show, pretentious, feigned, entirely false and without any music whatever." In his home at Yasnaya Polyana members of the household were once in the habit of playing incessantly on four grand planos, reason enough, one might think, why he should dislike all music forever. Recalling this, he said: "All this—the romances, the poems, the music—was not art, something important and necessary to people in general, but a self-indulgence of robbers, parasites, who have nothing in common life; romances, novels about how one falls in love disgustingly, poetry about this or about how one languishes from boredom. And music about the same theme. But life, all life seethes with its own problems of food, distribution, labor, about faith, about the relations of men. It is shameful, nasty. Help me, Father, to serve thee, by showing up this life!" The horse is really one of the best listeners in the world. He is always on the alert for sounds which concern or interest him. When he looks at anything he turns his ears toward it to observe the better whether any sound comes from it. If a horse is particularly interested in your driving of him he always turns his ears backward toward you, but if he has no concern on that subject or if he sees anything ahead that interests him he keeps his ears pricked forward. A horse hears the whinny of another horse at a great er distance than the average man can hear it. Best Listener In the World THE TWIN CITY STAR, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. Fads And Fancies Of Fashion The collection of suits presented for fall is really superb. Good taste dominates them in styles and color and in materials and trimming. They are wonderfully tailored. Most of the new wool goods have a soft, velvety finish, and certain fashionable colors appear at their best in surfaces of this kind, like tan, beige, castor, gray and wine. The quiet of the colors fashionable for fall makes room for all sorts of clever eccentricities of cut, and the smartest tailors have taken advantage of this opportunity to show how ingenious they can be. They thin out 10 G T THE SORT OF SUITS WE WANT. the best lines for the slender figure and the best lines for the stout figure and proceed to work revolutions in the appearance of their patrons. The plump lady looks trim and the thin lady looks graceful, having lost her angles in a new and innocent-looking tailored suit which has been craftily designed to conceal them. They go on their way rejoicing after they have selected the styles made for them. A study of the suit pictured above will reveal what the art of the tailor can do by way of achieving the unusual and interesting while preserving the simple, graceful lines demanded by the mode. The coat is cut with hanging panels, each finished at the bottom with a band of fur. Plaits, set in at the back, dispose of the waistline in the best possible way and concede the right of fashion to demand that backs be made interesting. There is a collar of fur, and deep plain cuffs of the cloth attract attention to their shapefulness with big bone buttons set in a row.

After all, it contrives to escape being fussy and to preserve the clean lines that belong to the vallor-made. This is one of those brilliant evening gowns that transform their wearers into the semblance of a wonderful butterfly. It is made of net, with a peticoat underneath of net and still another of thin and lustrous satin. The dress is almost incrusted with straight bends of mother-of-pearl sequins and little rhinestones that reflect the light --- with the radiance of pearls and diamonds. It is to be worn with a scarf of malines over the arms and shoulders. Nearly always, with su h splendid materials, the designer confines herself to the simplest method of using it. The bodice in this insture appears to be a straight piece o the material wrapped easily about the figure. The skirt is very full, but the weight of the passementerie holds it close to the figure. It is draped at the sides as demonstrated in the picture. For a dancing frock it may be caught by the fingers and lifted like a pair of wings. J The bodice is supported by strands of rhinestone over the shoulders and joined to the skirt by an easy girdle of the material that conforms to the lines of the waist. Flat tussels of crystal beads finish the joints of drapery at the sides and at the bottom of the skirt. White satin slippers and white silk stockings, and a band of brilliants about the hair, are to be worn with this frock, and they should be without ornament. The scarf of tulle about the shoulders—not shown in the picture—veils the brilliance of sequins and rhinestones and adds beauty to the gown and to its wearer. Julia Bottomly Drawnwork for Undergarments. Flat decoration continues to be the favorite trimming for the new French under apparel. In a shipment just arrived from Paris, both volle triple and 1 innen have been treated in this way. There are many different stitches in this work, which is really drawnwork. The one most commonly seen is the "fillet" stitch, a kind of delicate punchwork that forms a lacy web and is an excellent background for the design either in embroidery or more commonly of the solid material outlined in a fine white, thread. The designs are usually conventional flower patterns, rather large, we also merely geometrical. FARMING IN 1840 Amazing Changes in Living Conditions Are Shown. In Early Days the Farm Produced Practically Everything Family Consumed, Food and Clothing. In view of the modern-day high cost of living and of the many wonderful advances made in the last century—the railroad, the telegraph, the ocean cable, the telephone, the automobile and farm and labor-saving machinery of all kinds and the amazing changes these inventions have necessarily wrought in all directions in almost every walk of life—it may be of interest to recall living on a farm in the year 1840. The farm I have in mind, writes Warner Miller in the New York Times, consisted of 200 acres. The stock was 15 cows, a yoke of oxen, 20 sheep, an old white horse, a dozen pigs, 50 hens, 10 geese, a few ducks and a flock of turkeys. The farm produced practically everything the family consumed, both clothing and food. The sheep furnished the wool, which was carded at a "fulling" mill and made into rolls for spinning. At home it was spun into yarn and woven on a hand loom. There were no ready-made clothes; all clothes were made in the home. Several cows were killed each year. There was a tannery near by, where the skins were tanned. A shoemaker made our boots. They were usually too small and gave much trouble and pain. The flax, cut and laid down until the fiber loosened from the woody part, was put through a heckle worked by hand and then spun and woven. This strong linen cloth was used for summer clothing, towels, etc. The seed was saved to make flaxseed tea (a medicine), or poultice for bruises. For food we had everything needed —fresh meat, potatoes, beets, cabbages, parsnips, pumpkins for pies, apples, which lasted from fall to spring; cider, which gave us vinegar or produced a cider-champagne. Half a dozen pigs killed in the fall gave us plenty of ham and bacon, lard, sausages and salt pork. There were plenty of chickens for roasting and potples and eggs, turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas, occasionally a roast goose with apple sauce. From the cows' milk we made both butter and cheese. What butter and cheese the family did not consume was sold in a near-by village. Butter usually brought $12\frac{1}{2}$ cents a pound. Cheese was also made at home, as there were neither creameries nor cheese factories. Cheese was sold at 5 to 6 cents a pound. All eggs not used went to the village store and brought 10 cents to 12 cents a dozen. Every farmer made his own soap. It was called "soft soap." It was soft, but very strong, and took the dirt off your hands and face very thoroughly, and some skin, also, unless you were careful in your ablutions. Little was heard of the world at large. Twenty miles from the railroad the great four-horse stagecoach came every day, bringing the malls. There were few newspapers or magazines. The telegraph was unknown. The Atlantic cable did not succeed until 1866. There were only 28 miles of railroad in 1830. Admiral Beatty's Hero. Go into Admiral Beatty's parlor and glance at the line of boots which lie on the table, says the London Dally Telegraph. It is "Nelson's Dispatches." Look on his desk and you will find a bust of the great admiral. The prints and pictures on the walls here commemorating great deeds of the navy also are lit with the light of the navy's greatest inspiration. Here is the dinner table of the captain of a famous ship of the first battle squadron. Note the centerpiece—a silver statue. Need you ask whose it is? Nelson stands shining before him as sitting he drinks the king's health in the way of the navy, and the statue is his mascot. Only once did he leave it behind, and the ships had trouble. That was on maneuvers and never since has Nelson been forgotten. His servant, who knew the value the captain attached to it, asked before the battle of Jutland if he would stow the statuette safely away. "No," replied the captain, "he must go through it." And go through it the little statuette did, and the ship that carried him went through it, too, and earned fresh laurels. A "Dickens Spot" Going. It is, of course, impossible to preserve all such places, but one hears with regret that "development" is to claim another Dickens landmark in London. It is an old house, overhanging the river in the neighborhood of Limehouse Hole, and was formerly occupied by the Waters family, who, for generations, there carried on the business of lightermen. The house is reached from the shore at low water by means of a flight of wooden stairs, and a recent writer relates how Richard Waters used to recount, with great interest, the visits which Charles Dickens paid to his house when engaged in writing "Our Mutual Friend." In order to secure the true local color for his riverside scenes, the novelist spent many days in the little bow windowed room overlooking the Thames, writing away as if for dear life," as Mr. Waters would say.—Christian Science Monitor. WARFARE TO BE DIFFERENT Armies of Future Will Have StrongArtillery and Few Infantrymen, Each Heavily Armed. The army of the future will have an immense equipment in artillery; the infantry will be few in number, but heavily armed, each man with a machine gun, capable of holding a width of front that otherwise would need a company armed with rifles. Trench warfare, at any rate on the scale that has been witnessed in France, will disappear, for the airplane will overleap the trenches and substitute a war of movement for a war of fixed positions, says H. Sidelbotham in the Atlantic. The airplane will be used, not only as at present for reconnaissance work, signaling ranges to the artillery, for rails on communications, and for bombing a retreating army, but also for the transport, on a large scale, of infantry. One can easily imagine airplanes sufficiently large to carry 50 or even 100 infantrymen. A hundred such planes could transport an army of 10,000 with incredible rapidity to any point behind the hostile line desired by the general in command. Such movements will make trench lines obsolete. The whole art of war will have to be rewritten from its elements. The development of the uses of the airplane will change the strategical and tactical direction of the war, from a game comparatively elementary, like draughts, into an elaborate and complicated game like chess, with greater variety of moves and endless possibilities of fresh combinations. Such a game will be too difficult to be fought with millions. With proper use of mechanical invention a company of men will be able to do the work of a division in this war. We shall go back to the days of small professional armies of long training and high technical equipment; the great general of the future will be he who is able to divine best all the possibilities of this new war movement, and military power will no longer depend on numbers, but on the genius of the direction and the technical accomplishments of a comparatively few human instruments. A Novel Dinner Bell. A camp cook whose only means of calling the members of his party was pounding on a pan with a knife handle was unable to make them hear when they were fishing or hunting at any considerable distance from the camp. One of the party to whom he complained thereupon made what he called a "klepalo." The "klepalo" was merely a piece of well-seasoned oak plank two inches thick, six inches wide and four feet long. Through the center he bored a hole, passed a rope through it and suspended the plank from the branch of a tree. The cook "rang" the instrument by-striking it with a mallet, first on one side and then on the other. The man who made the "klepalo" had seen similar contrivances in small Bulgarian villages, where they are used instead of church bells to call the people to worship. A test of the instrument used by the campers showed that in ordinary weather conditions it could be heard two miles. The Zodiac. The earliest astronomers, who were probably the shepherds and herdsmen of the old Sumerian civilization, noted that the sun appeared to make the circuit of the heavens in one year. This is merely an appearance, due to the revolution of the earth around the sun every 12 months. So they divided the belt of sky through which he appeared to travel into 12 divisions. One for each division or constellation was named for something which they fancied its shape indicated, as, Aries; the ram; Taurus, the bull, and so on. This belt of 12 constellations is called the zodiac, from the Greek word zoon, an animal. Various superstitions gradually grew up; among them, that each part of the body was under the influence of a certain constellation, it influenced that part of the body. No sensible person believes any of this old-time superstition that the position of the heavenly bodies in these constellations affect either the body or plant life. Exeunt Scarecrows One of the many improvements resulting from permitting women to run the farm instead of to waste out their lives cooking for the thresher crew is said to be the substitution, on Long Island sound at least, of tailors' models for scarcrows. It is not likely that crows can distinguish a well-dressed man from an ill-kempt one, but no matter how the dear girls slump around when they are by themselves, they do like a man who dresses up well. Besides, the models undoubtedly improve the appearance of the place more than the scarcrows do. For one thing, a man with good clothes is not expected to engage actively in the farm work; one in his old clothes is out of place idling until the evening chores are done.—Buffalo Express. "Drink to me only with thine eyes —so said the poet." "Well?" "What did the poet mean by that?" "An early example of food conservation." He—You are the prettiest girl I ever saw.

The Arbelter Zeitung recently published a facsimile of the certificate of death of a laborer named B. Hauptig, native of Relchen- berg in Bohemia, whose body was found in a field. The district medical officer of Krat- zau attested that the man had died of hunger. Similar certificates have from time to time been published in Provincial papers, but as a rule the great majority remain unknown. More- over doctors often use the expression “nervous exhaustion” to explain deaths from hunger, and thus to a cer- tain extent appearances are saved. The fact remains, however, that people are starving to death in Austria, and evi- dence of the appalling economle con- ditions is afforded by two speeches de- livered In parliament by Deputy Blan- chin! of Dalmatia and the German So- clalist Renner of Vienna, Dalmatians Aroused. Deputy Blanchini, who despite his Italian name ts a Croatian and noted for his loyalty to Austrian rule, openly accused the military authorities of de- spolling the Dalmatians of everything and condemning them to starvation. “All our fishermen have been called to the colors,” he said, “and if some of them were sent home and provided with boats, ropes and nets they would provide enough fish for the popula- tion. It is useless to send Hungarian fishermen who know the sea by hear. say and cannot fish. The military av- thorities have even requisitioned -salt from Dalmatia, with the result that even when fish is plentiful it cannot be salted and kept for the winter. An- other mistake committed by the au- thorities has been the wholesale requi- sitioning of ofl. Ol! {s indispensable as an article of fopd to. Dalmatians, as it replaces every kind of fat. Besides, like salt, oll is needed to preserve fish and vegetables. The people are suffer- ing tortures from lack of ofl. Denu- trition has reduced them to skeletons, and now in many districts of the prov- ince a terrible unknown epidemic Is raging, which the doctors attribute to lack of oll and fat. This epidemic ts most violent. Its main symptom is a sudden swelling of the feet, which in most cases ts followed by death within twenty-four hours. ’ “Live stock has.been requisitioned without any system In Dalmatia. Horses, mules and oxen have been sent to Serbla, Montenegro and Albania for military transport and men over fifty years old and boys of twelve and four- teen were sent as drivers, and few of them ever returned. The Austrian army has been fed with beet from Dal- matia to such an extent that the 116,000 head of oxen existing before the war have now fallen to less than 30,000. Bread and Meat Scarce. “Bread is even more scarce than meat in Dalmatia. The wheat grown in the province {s hardly sufficient to feed the population for two months In normal times, yet all the wheat has been requisitioned and paid for so low that the farmers lost money besides being starved. The bread now sup- plied 1s of such an Inferlor quality that It cannot be eaten even by starving people. > “As food ts scarce and dear it is no exaggeration to say that before Tong a regular famine with all its ter- rible consequences will inevitably fol- low in Dalmatia.” Deputy Renner denounced the hope- less economic conditions in Austria, “T do not appeal} to the crown, to the gov- ernment and to parliament as national Institutions, but I speak as man to men and appeal to your intelligence and to your hearts,” he sald. “While we are talking here people outside are dying of hunger. We deplore that some prov- Inces are worse off than others and debate as to whether the middie classes are suffering more than the lower ones, and yet all the people are desperate. The bread ration !s insuf- ficient, but what is worse the minimum fixed for each person often cannot be had, and more often still the distribu- tion of bread 1s irregular.” ‘All the members of the Austrian parliament, even those who support the government and are bent on re- sistance to the very end, denounced the hopeless economic situation, and even when optimistic they ndmitted that the war could not be prolonged more than three months without risk- ing a regular famine, Decorates Hindenburg.

Washington.—The war is about to Provide another duty for dogs. ‘These canine friends of man are already per- forming with ultra-satisfaction pets varlety of tasks on the battlefields and in the trenches and training centers. It remained for an attendant at one of the training schools for the blind soldiers of France to discover that ‘dogs might be used for guiding soldiers who have lost their eyesight. After a serles of training experiments with dogs picked up on the streets of Paris, ‘the results have been found to be truly astonishing. The natural habits of the dog have been successfully subordi- nated to its purposes in guiding the men. One of the dogs, selected at ran- dom, guided a blindfolded officer for a distance of two miles without accident. Coming to a fence under which the dog might easily pass, he would, instead, g0 around the obstruction. Boulders ‘and holes placed in the path were ne- gotiated by the dog turning abruptly with a tug on his leash as a sort of signal. The obstruction passed, he would again return to the path.

NAVY LEAGUE ASKS “HUSSIFS” Women of the Country Requested to Furnish 6,500 Sewing Kits for Sailors, Washington.—The Navy league has fssued an appeal to women of the country to make 6,500 “hussifs” for the marines training ‘for France. ‘They may be turned in to local sec- tions of the Navy league. “Hussifs” in the marine’s way of saying “housewives.” It means a sew. ing kit. ‘The sewing kit wanted by the Navy lengue 1s made of cotton khakl, sewed with red thread—the Marine corps uni- form colors, The kit is 13 Inches long and 7% inches wide.

An Indian doctor re- cently told how a party of Indians from the Indian Nation in Oklahoma had come into the Tennessee valley and re- ‘moved a quantity of gold from one of the mounds. Every year, during the late summer, there are rumors of Indians mystert- ously visiting the hunting grounds of the Cherokees for the purpose of re- covering golg.

LIFE IN A NAVAL TRAINING STATION How Young Men Are Taught Nav- igation and Nautical Tactics at Great Lakes. ARE GIVEN BEST OF CARE Great Lakes, I_—Work and play, three meals a day, limited responsibil- ity, and few worries, ° ‘That's life in the navy. Mothers and fathers, sisters and sweethearts, who are worrying about thelr sons, broth- ers, or loved anes, are the only persons worrled while these lads are in train- ing at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station. Situated far from the tang of salt water, with Lake Michigan to gaze upon—and occasionally practice gun fiye or rowing a boat on—approxi- mately 15,000 embryo sailors are learn- ing navigation and nautical tactics in a surprisingly short time, Arriving at the station the recruit Is sent to detention camp. He isn’t ac- cused of belng a germ carrier, but pre- cautions are taken to see to it that he doesn't associate with the great body of sailors until he has been under vb- servation for 21 days. During this pe- riod of detention the recruit 1s given typhoid prophylaxis, cowpox vaccina- tion, throat swab, teeth survey, and general physical attention, Final Physical Examination. He gets his final physical examina- tion while in detention. If the examin- ing surgeon thinks he is unfitted for the naval service, he 1s placed in the “hold-over” squad, re-examined fre- quently, given plenty of work and plenty of food. If finally he is unable to pass muster, the recruit is sent home with a “medical discharge.” Very few men are recelyed at the station who are unable to pass the final examination, for they are given at least two examinations before they are sent to Great Lakes. If at the end of the twenty-one days the recruit has been outfitted, had his hair cut short, and pronounced phys- Ieally fit, he {s passed into the main camp and his period of real instruction and work begins. He is invited to par- ticipate in athletics, selects the school he desires to attend, and begins In ear. nest to prepare himself and to be pre pared for his future life on board a dreadnaught, or some form of fighting craft.” < Has Varied Duties. He learns to do things which at home he thought was “girl's” work, This includes dining hall duty, serving the “mess,” peeling “spuds,” washing clothes, making up his bed, etc. He learns also to do many things which the “hired” man back home did for him, He swabs the “deck” (floor) of his tent, picks up paper and other rub- bish In the vicinity of his tent or com- pany street, and a hundred other du- tles of this sort. And through {t all he is being watched closely—by petty officers, sur- geons and other higher officers. He Is classified while in training station as good, bad or indifferent, and this clas- sification will follow him, unless he wins a new one, throughout his en- listment. All you have to do Is to look at the Jackies in training to know that they never were better cared for in thelr lives—and that the Kalser is up against it when these lads set out to get him.

Fans who attended a recent game Jn Philadelphia wondered what Johnny Evers had done to warrant dismissal from the field. ‘The true tale has been learned from Pat Moran, Umpire Rigler and Pitcher Jacobs were of a different opinion on many of the Pirates’ pitches, and the latter were peeved. Evers came to bat in the sixth with the bases filled and two out. Johnny tried to coax a pass and the count was two balls and one strike when Joke offered a doubtful pitch. Johnny insisted it was a ball, but Rig- ler called it a strike, “How abont that pitch, Jake; wasn't it a ball?” shouted the Quaker second baseman after flying out on the next one. “It certainly was,” replied Jacobs, who was smarting over other decl- sions. “Thera you are now!” yelled Johnny in glee, as he looked at Rigler. “You're finished for today,” was the answer from the umpire. And then they wonder why a lot of people want the umplre curbed. BALL DIDN'T TOUCH GROUND Fielder Chases Up Ladder, Gets Pil! Out of Water Tank and Nails Bat- ter at Plate. ‘Tex Jones, who used to play with ‘the White Sox and now is out in the Western league somewhere, says this play actually happened in a game he took part in. It's areal “tank town” story, at any rate. ‘The playing field was along a rail- road truck, and there was a water tank without a roof on it just back of the center fielder. The batter bit a high fly, and it landed plunk Into this open water tank, ‘The batter thought he had a homé run, so he jogged around ‘at his lesure, but the center fielder chased up the ladder at the side of the water tank, reached in, got the ball that had come to the surface of the water, and from his perch threw home, getting the runner by a step. The umpire studied the rules, “eld the play was fair because the ball hadn't touched “ground” after being hit, and allowed the putout. FIND PHYSICAL WEAK SPOTS Many Baseball Players Have Athletiv Hearts and Flat Feet—Othere Have Broken Toes. The physical examination for the army reveals the fact that a very large number of ball players are affected with athletic heart, which is a bar te enlistment.

It probably would not be suspected, but many players will be rejected on account of flat feet. For some reason probably half of the ball players lack normal insteps. Bunions also are par= ticularly common. Both the flat fect and bunlons are caused by wearing baseball shoes, which have always shown a tendency to “remake” tha feet in a few years.

FAX IS DIVIDED IN EQUITY BURDEN EQUITABLY DIVIDED AS SEEN WISE BY COMMIT- TEE APPOINTED. Corporations Will Pay Commensurate Share for the Protection of the Country—Statesmen at the Capital Well Satisfied With the Efforts They Have Put Forth. Washington.—The joint conferees on the war revenue bill completed their draft after two weeks of deliberation. As revised by the conferees the measure has been raised from the levy fixed by the senate of $2,416,670,000 to an aggregate of approximately $2,700,000. Chairman Simmons of the senate finance committee estimated that the increase made by the conferees would approach $275,000,000. Profits Tax Modified. The excess war profits tax, as agreed to by the conferees, is a modification of the senate bill, the principal changes being in the maximum and minimum rates of exemption upon which the tax is to be determined. The senate graduated scale of exemptions ran from 6 to 10 per cent, while the house exemption rate was 8 per cent. The conferees adopted the graduated rate of from 7 to 9 per cent. The definition of capital, which was a point upon which the conferees argued for days, was modified so as to provide that the actual value of tangible property paid into a corporation or partnership of individual business before January 1, 1914, shall be taken as of that date. The proviso as to good will and other intangible property has been somewhat liberalized. As to "Invested Capital." In calculating war excess profits the terms "invested capital" of corporations and partnerships was declared to include "actual cash paid in actual cash value and other tangible property paid for stock or shares at the time of payment or January 1, 1914, but in no case to exceed the par value of the original securities; paid in or earned surplus and undived profits used or employed in the business, exclusive of undived profits earned during the taxable year." The allowance for intangible assets includes "actual cash value of patents and copyrights paid in for stock or shares at the time of payment . . . good will trademarks, trade brands, franchises . . . if for bone-fide payments not to exceed the cash value." It stipulates that such intangible assets exchanged for securities before March 3, 1917, not exceeding 20 per cent of the total, shall be included at a value not exceeding a fair cash value at the time of purchase. Postal Increases. A flat increase on reading matter of $ \frac{1}{4} $ cent per pound until July 1, 1919, and $ \frac{1}{2} $ cent thereafter was provided. Advertising matter exceeding 5 per cent of the total space would be taxed from $ \frac{1}{4} $ to $ 2 \frac{1}{4} $ cents additional until July 1, 1919, and from $ \frac{1}{2} $ to $ 4 \frac{1}{2} $ cents more until July 1, 1920; and from $ \frac{1}{4} $ to $ 6 \frac{1}{4} $ cents to 1921 and from 1 cent to 9 cents thereafter. An additional tax of $ \frac{1}{8} $ cent per pound until July 1, 1919, and $ \frac{1}{4} $ cent thereafter, on religious, agricultural, fraternal and similar publications was adopted. The 1 cent tax on letters, excepting drop letters and postal cards, was restored by the conferees. A 1 cent additional tax on postal and private mailing cards was added. The first-class mall increases are estimated to raise $90,000,000, and are effective 30 days aftr the passage of the act. The senate provision exempting from postage letters written by soldiers and sailors abroad was retained. Railroad Tickets Hit. The confeeces levied 8 per cent in lieu of the senate rate of 5 and the house rate of 10 per cent on passenger transportation, estimated to raise from the compromise levy about $60,000,000 instead of $37,500,000 under the senate plan. The 3 per cent tax on freight transportation was retained and the tax on express transportation was increased so that 1 cent would be levied on each 20 cents paid instead of each 25 cents. The house 10 per cent tax on Pullman accommodations, cut to 5 per cent by the senate was restored and is estimated to raise $5,000,000. In lieu of the house 5 per cent tax on sales of automobiles by manufacturers and the senate federal license tax on owners, the confeeces adopted a 3 per cent tax on all motor SEEKS NEW LIBERTY LOAN Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo Formally Opens Campaign to Raise Needed Funds. Washington.—The campaign for the second Liberty loan of $3,000,000,000 was formally opened at Cleveland by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. Ten million subscribers to the new loan will be sought, and it is possible that the ultimate issue of bonds may be $3,000,000,000. vehicles, including trucks, payable by manufacturers, producers and importers. Taxes of 3 per cent of manufacturers' ales of musical instruments and jewelry also were written in, with a tax of 1/4 cent a foot on motion picture film. MAIN FEATURES OF NEW REVE Washington.—The war as finally agreed on by the senate conferees provides ing of approximately $2.60 New Inheritance Tax. A new system of graduated inheritance taxes was written into the bill in lieu of the house plan and despite the senate's rejection of such taxes. The new rates on inheritances, with those of Americans in military service exempted, range from one-half of 1 per cent on $50,000 estates to 10 per cent on estates of $10,000,000 and more. The bulk of the increases of between $250,000,000 and $300,000,000 made by the conferees in the senate bill was secured from the postage, public utilities and manufacturing sales section and the new inheritance taxes. With but few exceptions, the new taxes are effective with the passage of the act. Senate Version Stands. The income tax section was adopted virtually as written by the senate. The new 2 per cent normal tax ou incomes of more than $2,000 for married persons and $1,000 for single persons is in addition to the present law exempting incomes of less than $3,000 for single persons and $4,000 for married persons. Thus those between the new law exemption bases and the present exemptions will pay only the 2 per cent tax, but single persons having an income of $3,000 or more and married persons whose income is $4,000 or more would pay the full 4 per cent normal tax. The senate income provision allowing an additional exemption of $200 for each dependent child to heads of families subject to the present law was retained. The exemption for children, however, does not apply to those subject to the new reduced taxes with the $2,000 and $1,000 exemptions, respectively, for married and single persons. Surtax Is Agreed Upon. Surtaxes were agreed upon as follows: One per cent on income over $5,000 and less than $7,500; 2 per cent between $7,500 and $10,000; 3 per cent between $10,000 and $12,500; 4 per cent between $12,500 and $15,000; 5 per cent between $15,000 and $20,000; 7 per cent between $20,000 and $40,000; 10 per 18 per cent between $80,000 and $100-per cent between $60,000 and $80,000; 18 per cent betweens $80,000 and $100-000; 22 per cent between $100,000 and $150,000; 25 per cent between $150,000 and $200,000; 30 per cent between $200,000 and $250,000; 34 per cent between $250,000 and $300,000; 37 per cent between $500,000 and $500,000; 40 per cent between $500,000 and $750-000; 45 per cent between $750,000 and $1,000,000, and 50 per cent on incomes exceeding $1,000,000. Increased Tax on Whisky. Increased senate rates on whisky and beer were virtually retained, and that on wines somewhat reduced. The tax on distilled spirits was made $2.10 per gallon when for beverage use and $1 less for industrial purposes, estimated to raise $135,000,000. The amendment prohibiting importation of distilled spirits for beverage use was retained. Floor taxes to reach withdrawn liquors were approved. Beer was taxed $1.50 per barrel additional, to raise $46,000,000, an increase of 25 cents per barrel over the house rate. Present wine taxes were doubled. Taxes on nonalcoholic beverages were compromised. On prepared sirups and extracts the taxes graduated from 5 to 20 cents instead of from 3 to 12 cents a gallon were adopted. Grape juice and other soft drinks are taxed 1 cent per gallon, as provided by the senate in reducing the original 2-cent rate of the house. Senate rates on cigars and cigarettes were retained, but those on snuff were increased from 4 cents to 5 cents a pound. Stamp Taxes Fixed. Stamp taxes agreed upon are: Bonds of indebtedness, 5 cents on each $100. Indemnity and surety bonds, 50 cents. Parcel post packages, 1 cent for each 25 cents of the cost of transportation. Capital stock, original issues, 5 cents per $100. Sales and transfers, 2 cents per $100. Sales of produce on exchange, 2 cents for each $100 value in merchandise. Drafts, checks payable other than on sight or demand, promissory notes, except bank notes for circulation, and renewals, 2 cents for all sums below $100 and 2 cents for each additional $100 or fraction thereof. Conveyance papers, 50 cents between $100 and $500 and 50 cents for each additional $500. Customs house entries, from 25 cents to $1; entry for withdrawal from bonded warehouses, 50 cents. Passenger vessel tickets for ports other than those in the United States, Canada and Mexico, between $10 and $30, $1; between $30 and $60, $3, and above $60, $5. Voting proxies, 10 cents. Power of attorney, 25 cents.

Taxes on life insurance, eliminated from the house bill in the senate, were amended and reinserted, raising about $5,000,000. Effective November 1 the new taxes on new insurance policies issued are 8 cents per $100 or fraction thereof on life insurance and 1 cent per $1 on the premium charged on marine, casualty, fire and inland insurances. Amusement taxes agreed upon provide that all persons entering places of amusement free, except employees and officials on duty and children under twelve, would pay a tax rate of 1 cent on each 10 cents or fraction thereof of the admission charge. This tax also would apply to cabarets and similar performances where the cost of entertainment is included in other costs, such as service. Holders of annual box seats would pay 10 per cent of the annual rental. Nickel theaters and shows, rides and other outdoor park amusements with a maximum admission of 10 cents and benefit entertainments and agricultural fairs were exempted. After November 1, 1917, members of all clubs, except fraternal orders, paying more than $12 annual dues would be subject to a 10 per cent tax. Exemptions Are Allowed. On excess profits the conferences agreed upon a minimum deduction of 7 per cent and a maximum of 10 per cent, instead of the 6 to 10 per cent fixed by the senate. Other exemptions are $3,000 for corporations and $6,000 for individuals. Corporations, partnerships and individuals having no capital stock would pay a flat rate of 8 per cent on net profits in excess of $3,000 for corporations and $6,000 for individuals and partnerships. Miscellaneous income tax amendments inserted by the senate were generally adopted, including the so-called Jones amendment for a tax of 10 per cent on corporations' indistributed surplus, without allowance for income taxes paid. The 10 per cent tax would not apply to undistributed income actually invested or employed in business or invested in federal securities after September 1, 1917, and 5 per cent penalty for surplus retained but not employed is provided. In making provision for administration and collection of the new and existing taxes the conferences provided that the special tax of $12\frac{1}{2}$ per cent on war munitions manufactures shall be reduced to 10 per cent, but retained to January 1, 1918. It now yields about $29,000,000 annually and the senate had proposed its repeal. GARFIELD FIXES COAL PRICES Fuel Administrator Announces Final Decision, Which Will Be Binding on All Dealers. Washington. — Fuel Administrator Garfield announced regulations, effective at once, for the limitation of the retail prices of bituminous and anthracite coal throughout the country.

The loans will be repaid in full with interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum.
