WAR MANEUVERS
 BEGIN IN GERMANY
Cavalry Infantry and Artillery
 Seen in Every Direction
EMPEROR WILLIAM UMPIRE
Plain Uniforms of American Generals and Their Aides Attract Attention and the Emperor Says
 They Are Sensible.

Frankfort Oder, September 9.-The war maneuvers began today. A peaceful and sunlit spread of country to the west of here was covered by parties of caval- ry searching the hollows and the woods for the supposed enemy or seeking to catch glimpses of him from the ridges; by batteries galloping into action through wheat fields and beet patches, and by long lines of rihemen advancing along a twelve-mile front. Sausage shaped war balloons swung in the air an there were many other signs of war h--e activity.
 The artillery and the defending blues have each about 100 pieces, which. came Into action and there were sounds of irregular firing along the far extended fronts. Six or eight miles in the rear of the fighting lines were the generals commanding the two contingents. Gen. von Stuel of the reds. who Is considered an invading Russian army, and Gen. Lignitz of the blues who fills the role of the German defending army. Field teiegraphs spread fan-like from the headquarters of each commanding gem eral to the extended fronts and on near ly every elevation was established tel ephone station. The generals were ad- vised of the situation in every quarter of the field and moved their forces about in a manner often quite meaningless to the observers of the maneuvers, who, with the aid of the strongest glasses, could only see distance of about two miles, the country being rolling and part ly wooded.
 Today was spent by the contending armies .n playing for positions. It was an artillery dueI with occasional brushes between cavalry The infantry never got into action. The German army of de- fense captured one gun from the Rus sians but this was immediately retaken by the invaders. A cavalry detachment of the blues fell into the hands of the in vaders who at the end of the day had gained the superior position and were ready to push forward.
 Emperor William, as umpire of the maneuvers, visited both sides. The for eign guests were attached to the reds, or the invading Russians, and when Em- peror William was on that side he was surrounded by a group of officers in rich uniforms. The American visitors, Maj. Gen. Henry C. Corbin, Maj. Gen. Samuel B. M. Young and Brigadier General Wood and their aides and others wore the new drab fatigue uniforms of the United. States army, which among so many bril- liant and highly colored foreign uni forms, were quiet distinctive The em- peror looked the American officers over closely and told General Corbin he thought their uniforms were sensible and in good taste. His majesty took General Young with him on trip Inside the lines of the blues and his bearing towards the Americans in every way was most kind.
 dar -tY, taf of the British forces wore blue field mar shals uniform, but General French and MT. Broderick. the British war secretary, were clad in khaki. MT. Brodricks youth occasioned considerable surprise among the Germans.

Bad times do not stop at state lines and the industrial awakening of the south which Is going on and which I believe will go on with ever-evincing rapidity. means good for tune not merely for the south, but for all the American people.
 A Good Year.
 'It always happens that a good year for crops Is a good year for weeds. When we have prosperity some people for whoh, we do not much care, prosper more than others, but 1t is a great deal better that some people should prosper too much than that none of us should prosper ar all.
