War Geography

BORDEAUX.--Afc city of southwest
ern France, $50 miles south of south
west of Paris, on the Gironde river,
so miles from the sea- and 125 miles
from the Spanish frontier. In 1911,
the city had a population of 261,67S.
Under the Roman Empire, Bordeaux
became a fourishing commercial
city, and the capital Of Aquitania Sc
cunda. 1t belonged to the English
kings from 1854 to 1853 when it was
taken by Charles VII. of France. 1t
was the headquarters of the Girond-
lists during the Revolution, and dur
ing the Reign of Terror suffered Sc
verely. In 1870 the French govern
ment was transferred to EordeauX
from Tours Ito which it had been
moved from Paris on the approach
of the Germans to Tours. The trade
of Bordeaux, the fourth port OF
France, is chiefly carried on by sea.
FROM 1000 to 200 vessels can be
accommodated in the harbor. The
most important industry is shipbuild-
ing and refitting lronclads and tor
pedo boats, as well as merchant yes
sels, are constructed. The city is the
center of trade in bordeaux wines.
Other principal exports are brandy
hides and skins, sugar, rice, woolen
and cotton goods, salt fish, chemicals,
oil-cake, pitwood, fruit, potatoes and
other vegetables. There are also flour
mills sugar renneries, chemical
works, machine shops and potteries.
Bordeaux is the temporary capital of
France. NIL

PICTURE 1nEATERS
MUST Be Careful
English Movie Houses Not AL
lowed to Show Films of Forts
or Cities in War.

London, Sept. S.-English moving
picture theatres will not be permitted
to show any war films which center
about forts or cities which figure in
the present war. Neither will the ex-
hibition of films be permitted If they
illustrate any recent movements of
the English expeditionary force or OF
the allied armies
This ruling by the War office was
generally welcomed as sane and own
ers Of picture theatres are confining
their war dramas chiefly to imaginary
engagements and reproductions Of
scenes in the Franco German war
Attendance at the picture shows
continues good and patriotic pictures
are in great demand. Films depict
ing the bravery of William Tell and
other heroes who emancipated Swift
zerland from Austria are in much ia
yor. Recruiting officers have also had
pictures prepared showing the at
tractiveness of army service which
have done much to fire patriotism and
encourage patrons to enlist.

HOW It FEELS
TO face BULLETS
Men Who Have Been Under Fire
Attempt to Analyze Their Vary
ING Emotions.

Berlin, Sept. S.-Some psychologi
cal studies as to the sensations OF
the soldier who faces shower OF
bullets, which were written by Col
Margiarotti of the Italian army, are
published as timely in Bohemia, a
newspaper in Prague.
The question as to how soldier
feels at the height of battle was put
to about 1000 men who have, seen
service in nflTTipoli. Almost to man
they agreed that the sensation ex.
perienced in battle itself was not as
strong as the fear before the battle.
The most excitable moment was that
in which the first shots were fired.
The worst experience of most of the
soldiers was having to stand still in
line Of battle; it was the greatest re-
lief imaginable to be ordered to run
forward. Some said their sensations
in battle included trembling, tears,
hair standing on end, hoarseness, and
even yearning.
All Of the replies indicated that the
soldiers were largely influenced by
the conduct of their immediate super
iors. Asked whether it was patriot.
ism, oath Of fidelity, or the thoughts
of penalties to which they were liable,
that led men forward to their duty,
almost all of the men replied: II went
forward because my lieutenants went
forward" The officers above lieuten-
ants were rarely mentioned, for the
men did not come much in contact
with them.
1t has been claimed by many his
torians that such valiant soldiers as
Henry Nv and Frederick the Great
were trembling during battles.

WOULD CENSOR
GERMAN MUSIC
Strife in London as to Whether
Wagner and Other Composers
Will Be Heard.

London, Sept S.-London is much
stirred by a bitter war in musical
circles as to whether German music
shall be played at concerts and in
the theatres. Directors of the Queens
Hall promenade concerts held night
ly yielded to public pressure and an
nounced Wagner would be omitted
from all programs. Music lovers pro-
tested and Sir Henry J. Wood, the
conductor, made a subsequent an
nouncement that art knows no ma
tionality and restored German music
to the program.
Wagner Grieg, Brahms and other
composers representing nations now
at war with England figure on cur
rent programs, but radical anti-Ger-
man sentiment still manifests itself
in letters sent to the press.

An Imp ossibIe Thing.

The really good weekly newspaper promotes the interest of the town in which it is published to such an extent that it becomes impossible to place an estimate upon its worth. There is no enterprise that does so much for the corporation or the individual citizen as the paper. It is the friend of every thing that stands for the upbuilding of the community. The paper has not yet come into it's own, however, because it is never appreciated to the extent of its worth by the people at large. Yet when battles are to be fought for town or county a rush is made to the news paper office, always to find the loyal editor ready, frequently without hope of reward. -- ,:.-
 Many other enterprises are encour- aged by bonus, but rarely is the paper offered any such help. Communities not infrequently lose sight of their real benefactor when they fail to recognize the weekly paper in their midst as such. The minister and the editor go hand in hand as the bulwark of defense against the attacks of evil or designing schemes, effecting the individual or the town.
 For these and other good reasons the newspaper of the town and county should receive the support of the public at large in very liberal degree, for it is really the most important business enterprise of the community. The editor is a business man and not mendicant and should be recognized as the most important factor in the com munity, for poor indeed is the town or corporation that has not at least one of these necessary persons in it.-Pub- fishers Auxiliary.

 The nationwide interest that has been manifested in Henry Ford's war on the cigarette as menace to the health and morals and manhood of the American boy is shown by the huge mails which daily come to MT. Ford s office, says the Amenia Times. There is pile of some six hundred letters written to commend the purpose of the first book, ''The Case Against the Little White Slaver,'' in which MT. Thomas A. Edison states the actual physiological effects of the cigarette on the human heart l
 Many of these letters are intensely human documents, and tell pathetic and authentic stories of boys destroyed and homes wrecked through "The Little White Slaver." e.
 A second edition of the book, to meet the request for more copies, is now on the press. This little volume contains a number ot letters from firms of na- tional reputation, in which the attitude of the company toward cigarette smokers in their employ ,i is stated. Most of the companies now reject all cigarette applicants The list, which is very representative, includes the Cadillac Motor Car Company, the Larkin Company of Buffalo George w..
