COUNTRY IS UNPREPARED
It is Realized That a War With Austria-Hungary Could End Only In the Effacement of Servia From the Map of Europe.

Belgrade, Oct. 11-After a secret session lasting more than twent-four hours the Narodna- a-Skuptschina, the national assembly adjourned this evening without having arrived at a definite decision in regard to the ac- tion against Austro- Hungary. The assembly will meet again tomorrow, and the session will be open to the public. According to the most reli- able information of the meeting. no vote was taken on the question at is- sue.
 War was demanded with Austria, but the leaders of the war faction cooled down after Foreign Minister MilOvanovies made a lengthy state ment in which he explained that one reason why hOsilities were impossible was the scarcity Of ammunition for the new batteries, which are now be- ing transported here, but have been detained within the Austrian lines
 The leaders of all parties complain. ed earnestly that the governments protest to the powers against the an- nexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina was not cOuched in sufficiently strong terms, but the foreign minister sue ceeded in convincing the house of the correctness of the cabinets attitude. and it is anticipated that the meeting tomorrow will adopt a vote of confi- dence in the government.
 Thus for the moment the danger point of the Balkan crisis is passed. Servia is expected to content herself with a temporary boycott of Austrian commerce. Demonstrations are be- coming less numerous and less seri- ous, the people apparently realizing that war means the annihilation of Servia. A general mobilization of the army has not been ordered.

applied, the permanent ones being the heavier materials which through one application maintain the road surface in a dustless condition for Ia season.
 The author describes the manufac- ture and properties of tar, pointing out the differences between tar from coke ovens. from gas plants, refined coal tar, and Water-gas tar. A chapter on the application of tars follows and brings out the fact that the painting of road surfaces with tar was einsid- cred in France as early as 1867, al- though the work was not begun in earnest until 1902. The chapter con tains clear directions for applying the material to the road, both used as a palliative and for use in permanent construction. Much data is given as to cost and quantities of materials, and examples are cited of successful roads build by the air of various tars. After the consideration of tars. the author deals with the classification and prop critics of oils and gives the location of all the producing fields in the United States. He describes the method of refining oil and the character of the residum, and draws comparisons be- tween crude oil and by-prOducts of the refined oil.
 A chapter dealing with water and salt solutions including calcium chlo- Cide follows. and the portion of the bulletin relating to materials termi- mates with a chapter on temporary tar and oil binders, emulsions and similar preparations.
 MT Hubbard concludes his treatise by calling attention to the importance of careful selection of dust preventa- tives. making valuable suggestions for the choice of materials for treating country roads, suburban and park roads respectively. He gives an ex- haustive explanation of the methods of examination, and outlines tentative specifications for the use of dust pre- ventatives. The bulletin should do much toward directing experimental work in this important field along proper lines.

DUST PREVENTWES"
 A SUBJECT OF STUDY
Made Necessary by the Effect of Auto
 mobiles on Country Roads.

Washington. D. C., Oct. 6.-"Dust Preventives' by Provost Hubbard, is- sued as Bulletin No. 34, U. s. Office of Public Roads, is the latest contribu- tiOn to literature on road construc- ton and maintenance. Mir. Hubbard's paper has been prepared to meet the growing demand by road engineers for specific information on the important subject of dust prevention. He ras made a research of all literature on the subject, supplementing this with the results of actual experiments made by the Office of Public Roads. Interest has been recently reawakened in the problem of the prevention of dust on country highways, the well night uni versal use of the automobile being re- sponsible for the additional study and experiements. Road engineers are now agreed that the automobile when nov ing at a high speed is destructive to macadam roads, the broad soft tires lifting the rock dust and scattering it over adjacent fields. A road robbed of this fine surface binding material re- trogrades rapidly. That indictment now lies against the modern motor car. but on the other hand the introduce tion O. the machine has done much to awaken an interest, not merely in dust prevention, but in the entire subject of road improvement. Therein the automobile is entitled to credit. It is superfluous to add that clouds of dust are annoying, not only to the users of the highways, but to the residents whose property borders upon them, and that they affect public health and de- preciate the value of property.
 Mir Hubbard, in his discussion of methods of overcoming this condition divided the problem into two parts, first by applying materials that will hold the dust down, and second, by adopting a form of road construction that will reduce dust formation and the wear of roads to a minimum. These he says may be attained by tempo rary" and by permanent" binders those under the temporary" classifi- cation being materials which must be

FRENCH INDO-CH|NA
 IN 4 STATE OF UNREST
The Spirit of Revolution Spreads
 Throughout the Country.

Paris, Oct. 11.-Serious news of native unrest in French Indoo China has been received from HaipkOng The state of the country is described as distinctly revolutionary in many parts and one of the alarming symp- toms is the apparently preconcerted determination even among the peace ful inhabitants and native officials to withhold all information regarding the uprising
 Numerous gangs of from fifty to a hundred rebels constantly raid diff ferent points and disappear myste- riOusly as they come. The natives profess to know nothing whatever of these small flying columns of bri- gands. What is graver still is that disaffectiOns exists among the native troops and French officers say that they can no longer answer for them.
 Many men have been found wear ing a piece of stuff sewn under their tunics which appears to be the em- blem of some secret organization Letters from French settlers affirm that the country is unsafe almost everywhere.
 In the past few months over a hundred native sharpshooters, four French officers and six French non commissioned officers have been mur- dered by gangs of rebels armed with Mauser rifles The situation is de- scribed as grave and the reinforce ments of 5000 men now on their way to Indo-China added to the several thousands in the country will be a wholly inadaonafa foroa to cona ,,,itb the revolutionists.
 A local paper says that the latter number 30000 and that a Chinese army of 10000 men is within a few miles of the French frontier.

 The second batch of eight was led bY the ConquerOr, which started with some difficulty, owing to a gusty wind and too much ballast. Even tually it shot up, and reached a high altitude in an incredibly short time, the basket swaying violently.
 Then almost instantly a cry of horror arose from the spectators, who saw the balloon begin to rip. Some of the spectators turned away faint ing as they saw the balloon falling with lightning like rapidity. A few minutes after. the balloon assumed a parachute shape and noated out of sight.

signed man from Prescott, hit liner which proved too hot for Warner to handle and reaching first safely, he went to second on a wild throw by the Galpins short stop. Thomas was up next and he in turn did the flaming stunt. Scott reached first safely on an error by Rudolph, stealing second, Redmon scored on a hit to left by Scott. Pedro followed by a grounder to second who busted him at first re- tiring the side.
 The Galpins inning proved very short. Dell, the Mexican pitcher for the BaswitZ's made the bleacherites stand up and gasp in starting by fan ming out Rudolph and Warner. Sulli- van was an easy out from second to first.
 The BaswitZs scored another run in the second and two in the third Com bined with hits by Lopez and Scctt and errors by Williams and Vermuel- len, the cigar men had an easy time of it striding around the bases. On coming to bat in their half the Gal pins did not prove so fortunate, hav- ing to content themselves with two measly hits.
 The fifth inning was the real one of the game. With the Baswitzs in the field and Tcvis at bat for the Gafpins a rally was started by the sporting goods men who threatened to tie the score. Tevis sent a long fly to left old Sol proved too strong for Lopez to face and the ball fell in safe terri tory. Sullivan flied out. Tevis not content with stealing one sack made it two, and when Mir. Williams and his men woke up Tevis was resting easily on the third bag.
 Rudolph walked, stole second. Tevis was caught mapping but awoke just in time to put his foot on safe ground Warner was up next. In vain he tried to connect with the slants of Dell and after three swats at the azone the side was retired leaving Tevis and Rudolph "stung" on the bases.
 In the sixth another possible rally was averted by Warner who proved to his fellow sportsmen that he was the man behind when he gobbled a fly which had struck Sullivan's init bouncing over his shoulder into his waiting claws
 The work of both pitchers was com mendable, Williams of the Baswitzs having s shade the better of Dell Williams secured eight strikeouts against his opponents six.

No layman could, readily fathon what
it means to bring fleet of half a hun

suffering any material damage or loss

To form some idea of the magnitude

landsman to fix his mind on few of
the most striking aspects Of such fleet

the fleet stretches over three miles.
That is the battleships alone, without
counting the auxiliary vessels or tor

the lead, excepting in times of bat
tie. when she may choose another place
to deceive the enemy. Such times, as
in fact in all times of danger, the fleet
formation is apt TO be in line ahead,
that is, Indian file. Thus the fleet
steamed through the dangerous Magel-
Ian straits. and thus again the fleet will
file through our narrow Golden gate
But at other times the fleet is apt to
steam In the form of square, four
abreast and four ships deep.
For such maneuvering and other pur-
poses the feet is divided into two

duty and any eventuaiity."
Admiral Evans said the same thing
in another way when he said upon his
arrival in California:
The part of the navy is only to be
always ready. The coming of the fleet
TO this coast has not only demonstrated
to the world that We have 16 battle
ships which can be brought together
for long cruises at a moments notice,
but IT has called the attention of the
people of our own country to the fact
that we have Pacific coast as well as
an Atlantic coast and that 1t will be
defended just as much as every inch of
land around New York. and that our
interests in the Pacific are today great
er than in the Atlantic
This, indeed, is the great thing that
has been accomplished by the Coming
of the feet. For the first time in his
tory the Pacific ocean has been put into
commission. This is a great fact,
great achievement, the results Of which
can never be changed or lost. Hence
forth IN the worlds history the Pacific
ocean, which first came into interna-
tionai prominence only with Dewey's
great victory in Manila bay and the
Japanese victories in their own waters,

internal explosions like those of the
Mikasa or the recent disasters to
French warships at Toulon and Brest.
To the landsman it might seem the t
the loss of a single ship did not mean
SO very much. but it is to be borne in
mind that single one of our battle-
ships is worth in money as much as it
would cost to erect 1000 schoolhouses
to build 1000 miles of first class high
way or as much as all the park systems
of the hundred most important cities of
America Apart from the mere money
value, though, there is to be considered
the more serious loss of time, since the
building of a first class battleship rep
resents three years of uninternittent
work at our navy yards.
