WHAT WILL.

What will the Administration
do to couciliate the German
Americans? \ larger per cent
of tile German EMANCIPATION to
this country was caused by
militarisu. The German sys-

and service in the army to pay
for same. Expansion, means
standing armies. Standing ar
mics mean drafting or forced
enlistment for foreign stations
and the patriotic American Will
not be lead into subjugatln%

lands for Lords and Masters.
! When called upon to fight for
their homes and rights they
tumble over each other TO en-
list, but an expansion policy is
another matter. Again, what
will the administration do for

Willie Collier in"Mr. Smooth. ="

Willie Collier, one of the funniest
comedians on the American stage, will
appear at the Auditorium in the title
role of his own farce, ''Mr. Smooth"
one of the pronounced hits of the sea-
son. The quantity original comedy
methods of Willie Collier have be-
come distinctive as the falsetto voice
of Stuart Robson or the laugh-provok-
ing scheech of Francis Wilson. Col
lier's trick of winning laughter with
droll, philosophic tone of voice can
hardly be said to have become man
nerism, and for that reason he will
never be confined to any narrow class
OF character acting. Collier comes
very near being a Stage genius. His
face is as full of expression as a
French pantomimist, and according to
all reports, he has never had happier
opportunity for showing his precious
gifts than is afforded in the title role
of Mr.. Smooth.

After they had taken the oath not to

LONDON, Nov. 25 - Before anxiety as
to the situation in Natal had been re-
lieved, there comes news of great
battle at Belmont. This has hap
pened sooner than wasexpected. Only
the official account is yet to hand, but
SO far as can be gathered the fighting
appears to have been almost q repeti-
ton of the battle OF Elandslaagte A
dispatch of the previous day estimated
that the Beers in that vicinity num-
bered 9. 900 and that they had five guns,
and judging from the absence of any
statement to the contrary in the Off
cial report it is believed that the Brit
ish were slightly superior in numbers
TO the enemy.
The Beers had chosen a position
with their customary skill and were
strongly entrenched. The British
were obliged to carry three ridges in

succession. Apparently the guards
bore the brunt in carrying the last
ridge by bayonet charge after its de-
tenders had been shaken with shrap-
mel
While Gen Methuen can be congrat-
ulated upon a brilliant victory, it is
again at the cost of heavy loss of
officers and men.
The diary of events at Mafeking up
to November 10 has arrived. 1t gives
little that is'new. At that date Col.
Baden-Powell had no idea of being re-
Iieved for fortnight, or perhaps for a
month. Both Mafeking and Kimber-
ley, however, seem TO be quiet.
Later details regarding the Arundal
reconnaissance say that the Beers
there were engaged in destroying the
railway. One account says that after
the retirement an ambulance train
with doctors was sent out from Naauw-
poort. If this were so, the British
casualties must have exceeded three.
The sitution in Natal remains OBJ
scure. Fighting is reported at both
Estcourt and Ladysmith. 1t was at
first reported that heavy firing had
been heard in the direction of Willow
Grange, leading to belief that Gen.
Hildyard had made sortie. Later
dispatches announce that Gen. White
SORTED from Ladysmith and inficting
ademoralizing defeat upon the Beers.
1t would be premature to give full
credence to either report. What is
quite certain is that Ladysmith, EST
court and Mooi river station are all
isolated, and the Beers seem able, af-
ter detaching enough troops to hold
three British forces, aggregating II,
900 men, to push on toward Pieter-
maritzburg with some 1000 men.

Shake up in Telephone Rates

Parkersburg, w. Va, Nov 23.-The
new independent telephone company,
the West Virginia Western, has open
ed its exchange here. Experts in the
telephone business pronounce the sys-
TEN one of the best ever put in opera
tion in West Virginia. The company
has large list of subscribers and were
the first to put the rates down to yer
one-half what the Bell people have
been charging here. The rate now
given by the West Virginia Western
people is $36 for phone in business
house and residence, together. per an
mum, or $500 per month for business
houses and l.5O per month for resi-
dences separately. The Bell people
step N and cut this rate to $1,000 per
year for business houses and $500
for residences, with much lower rates
for combination phones

Held To Be Not Valid.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 24.-An Indi-
ana Sheriff cannot legally serve a
summons on a person who is aboard a
steamboat in the Ohio river if the
steamboat is south of the low water
mark on the Indiana shore. This was
held by the Court of Appeals today in
the case of Meyler VS.. Wedding, in an
elaborate opinion by Judge White, the
wnole Court concurring.
Meyler was sued in Vanderbury coun-
ty, Indiana, and the Sheriff served the
summons on him while he was on a
steamboat in the Ohio river. He paid
no attention to the summons and the
Indiana Court rendered judgment
against him. Suit was then filed on
this judgment in the Circuit Court of
Warren county, Kentucky, where Mey-
Ter lives He contended that the sum-
mons was illegal, and that the Indi-
ana judgment was therefore void. The
Court today sustained his contention
The same rule will apply alike to Ohio
Sneriffs and Courts.
