POLO STARS
They Are Making an Effort to Break
Peace Agreement.

Elwood, Ind, October S.-That
there is determined effort among
the polo players Of the Western and
Central leagues TO break the peace
agreement Of the two organizations
is becoming more apparent every day.
Manager James Sebern, of the Ell
wood team, says that he has not a
single player sinened for the coming
season, although he has forwarded
contracts to all Of the men on his re-
serve list. One player has turned
down a contract at $50 a week, say
ing that he is not Yet ready to bind
himself for the season.
Manager Sebern was in Kokomo
yesterday, in consultation with Man
ager Barnes, of that team, and he
finds the same conditions exist there.
The players are refusing to sign con
tracts with any team. Sebern says
not more than half dozen contracts
have been signed in both leagues.
The men evidently think that as the
time approaches for the beginning of
the season the managers will break
away from the peace agreement and
raise their offers.
Sebern is confident that the peace
agreement will hold, and says that a
number of managers of the Western
League will start the season with
amateurs before they will raise the
limit on salaries.

AMERICAN WHEAT IN THE ORIENT.

For long time the Northern Pacific
Railroad and other corporations have been
carrying on propaganda to accustom tho
Chinese and Japanese to using American
-four. The Importance of this can not be
overestimated. because if the 5OO,O0O,0OO
people of those empires should take to
bread az daily diet it would more than
absorb all the wheat that we can raise in
this country. Extensive and expensive as
has been the missionary work in this direc-
ton, it will be a'bagatelle compared to the
war now going on 1t is known scientiical-
ly. what has always been known practi-
cally. that wheat is the best vegetable food
for men called upon to make strenuous and
long -continued physical effort. The acute
japanese were not slow to perceive that the
wheateating Europeans and Americans
were physically superior to their own rice
eating countrymen. and upon the recon-
mendation of an Army Board a
portion of wheat bread was made
part of the daily ration of the Jap
anese soldier. The natural result will be
that the present small portion will grow
into much larger size as the japanese sol
der gets used to it, and when he gets into
the field where concentrated rations are
necessary. There is much more nutriment
in pound of -four than in like amount
of any other cereal. and this will count
strongly when it comes to transporting
rations over the wretched roads in the far
East Now great quantities of Oregon.
Washington, and California wheat are be-
ing sent to Japan for army ratons, and
this is only beginning. When the soldier
fully realizes the superiority of bread to
rice or millet. he is going to teach it to the
people at home. and shortly every one will
be hungering for that kind Of food, and
our exports of wheat must grow enormous
soldier. AT present n large part of the
Russian soldiers diet consists Of cabbage
and allied vegetables, which he makes into
soup with such meat as he can procure
This will do very we'll for him when he is
in camp, or engaged in short marches
through q well-Settled country where such
vegetables are abundant. But something
much less bulky and more sustaining must
be sought for when great armies are
brought together, ana moved over long dis
tances. The result can not help being
rapid increase Of consumption of Ameri
can flour, as it will be much cheaper to
bring flour across the Pacific from the
United States than oyer the railroad from
European Russia. The Russian soldier
will therefore become a wheat eater and
also teach it to his people, so the consump-
ton of wheat will make much greater prog
ress during this war than it would i'm very
many years of peaceful times.

Countries,

WHETHER or not we are on The eve Of
such a revolution in the building of ships
as the torpedo enthusiasts imagine, it is
pretty certain that a halt has been called
upon the tendency to increase the size and
cost of battleships. While it is desirable
to have one ship carry an armament that
will overpower that of any other ship In
the world, and it is very much more eco
nomical to put the same number of heavy
guns on one big ship than to divide them
between two smaller ships, yet the risk of
these costly constructions is entirely too
great for even the richest nation to bear
No nation in the world Is rich enough to
have very many 100000 battleships lying
around exposed to any enterprising young
Lieutenant in command of torpedo boat
1t looks very much at present as il the
naval vessel of the future would be q light,
swift ship, possibly somewhat larger than
the torpedo boat destroyers with which
Japan has been doing such good work, and
that there will be great development In
their speed rather than in the weight Of
their armament. The torpedo boat Destroy
er, with one or two-inch guns, and
swift enough to outrun the heavy battle
ships, is really much more effective
weapon than the large ships with their
enormous IL and 13-inch guns. 1t IL the
shots that hit which count, and she can
by selecting a close range, than the big
ships can with their heavy guns carrying
4 long distance.

A NEW WAY TO COMPEL PAYMENT OF
'te = DEBTS

There has been more or less reDudiati ion
in the South ever Since the formation of
the Government and when there was not
absolute reputation there has been in
terminable delays in the payment of prin-
cipal and interest, which have amounted
to about the same thing, so that it is es-
timated that in the, II Southern States
there is between seven and eight hundred
million dollars due from bonds which
have been lying in the dusty pigeon holes
Of the financial lumber rooms.
Some years ago the Supreme Court of
the United States decided that there was
no power in the. United States to COM
pei n State to pay it's debts to citizens of
the regulators that they need not bother
any more about their obligations. From
this calm security they have been rudeiy
disturbed By the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States giving South
Dakota a judgment Of $27 400 against the
State of North Carolina, with the ac-
companying direction that if the money
is not paid by the first Monday in Jan
uary, 1905, the United States Marshal
shall seize certain property belonging to
North Carolina, and advertise and sell it
TAT the East front door Of the Capitol in
Washington" 1t seems that some bond
holder of North Carolina, musing for years
over his improbable investment in North
Carolina securities, at last bethought him
self that while he could not sue North
Carolina, another sovereign State could
I,
pudiated bonds, and in burst of generos-
ity presented them to South Dakota. He
minated to the State that if they could
collect the money that possibly he would
be willing to give them some more bonds
The Legislature of South Dakota, acting
upon the hint, passed a law entitled can
act to require the acceptance and collection
of grants, devises, bequests donations and
assignments to the State of South Da-
kota." AS soon as the State came into
possession of the North Carolina bonds,
suit was instituted. North Carolina de-
Tended her case and insisted that the man
had given the bonds to South Dakota for
an Interior purpose, but the Supreme
Court decided that this could not affect it's
validity, and that the State was the bona
fide owner Of the bonds, and therefore of
the debt against North Carolina, which
she was bound to pay or suffer the conse-
quences. Now all the old bonds will be
brought out from their dusty repositories,
and presented in such numbers to the va
rious States as the owners can bring their
liberality to allow. Suits will at once fol-
low, and there Is probably enough trouble
in store for the Governments Of tho South
ern States to keep them occupied with
something morecimportant than the Booker
Washington incident for some years.

THE STATUS OF THE SERVICE PENSION
HJII

The first session of Congress has ad-
journed without action upon the Service
Pension Bill.
This is not a defeat-merely a postpone
ment.
The issuance of Order No. 7S in nowise
affects its status farther than to emphasize
the need of such legislation by Congress.
Had Congress- been properly responsive to
the necessities of the situation. there would
have been no need whatever for the is
suance of such an order, as Congress
would have done by law what has been
done by liberalizing the administration of
the Pension Bureau.
Nor does the failure of Chairman Sui
loway to introduce and secure the passage
of bill. firmly fixing upon the statute
books the advance made by Order No. IS.
operate in any way detrimentally to the
Service Pension Bill. This failure leaves
the ground only the more clear for further
agitation in behalf of such legislation. and
adds to the strong reasons which can be
urged for its enactment.
What the Service Pension Bill contem-
plates is that the Nation shall in formal
and legal manner treat the veterans of the
war of the rebellion precisely as it has
treated those of the Mexican war and other
previous wars. Those veterans have waited
longer than their comrades of previous
wars for this act of gratitude and justice,
and it is highly incumbent upon Congress
to perform this duty. The failure to do il
at the session just ended, makes it all the
more imperative to do it at the next SEES
sion.
Consequently. the comrades everywhere
should arouse themselves to every effort in
behalf of the service pension, and bring
every influence to bear in its favor. All
the Representatives and many of the
Senators return to their constituents this
year to give an account Of their steward
ship. Now is the time for comrades to
make sure that the men for whom they
shall vote will take no uncertain position
upon this great issue Every Post, every
Department Encampment. every Reunion
of veterans throughout the country should
in the most formal and impressive manner
declare their support of the Service Pension
Bill, and make it appear to their fellow
citizens that they are solid, earnest. and
persistent in their demands for this particu-
lar measure of justice. We have every
reason to believe that by strong renewal
of effort by an unbroken line from one
side of the continent to the other, we can
so increase the impression now made upon
Congress and the President, as to leave no
doubt of the passage of the bill at the COM
ing session of Congress which meets next
December.
This is an object eminently worth the
highest effort. 1t will not only do the
right and best thing for many comrades not
reached by Order No. IS, but it will be of
inestimable benefit to tens of thousands of
widows who deserve pensions no less than
their dead-and-gone husbands.
And, finally, it will put the pension sys-
tenn where it properly belongs, upon the
broad, secure basis of the law, represent
ing the peoples gratitude and good faith
to the men who saved the Nation from
destruction.
Now, comrades, fall into line once more
for last. successful effort for our rights.

The story of the Globe Security Con

The story of the Globe Security Com
pany's safe would be highly humorous were
it not pathetic that 50 many people should
lose their money to that gang of sharpers.
The company had magnificent Offices In
New York, with apparently marble pillars
the counters and everything of sumptuous
construction. They laid particular stress
upon their steel burglar-proof, fre-proof
vault, with its wonderful combination locks,
and half-tone photographs Of various
parts of this vault were set out extensively
in the Office literature. When the company
failed, and its officers were lodged in jail
under criminal charges, the police were
sorely puzzled as to how they were coins
to get into this formidable vault, as no
body would give the combination to unlock
it. However, upon close examina ton of
the rooms ad'rining, it was presently dis
covered that one led into the vault by an
ordinary wooden door, locked by a common
lock. Once inside it was discovered that
all there was in the much-talked-of vault
was very fine door and lock, with the
rest of the vault zinc and tin nailed to
scantlings and painted to represent steel.
A man with q Ratchet could have forced
his way through any part Of the vault in
q few minutes.
