RUSSIAN MEN GO

Since Jap Trouble.

The following account Of how the
Russian people, rank and file, view
the war, was written today by an Eng
lishman who was in the Russian Cap
ital during the days when the great
European war was getting under way.
II was here when the Japanese war
was declared" said a little man, who
was too excited to keep his thoughts
to himself; but what a difference.
Then it was the government who sent
, us to war. Now we go gladly eh?"
We were standing on a balcony over
looking the Theatre Square in Mos

jerked and swayed above the heads of
it's bearers. From every street they
debouched into the square, some sing
ing their national anthems, others a
religious chant, while few broke into
the "Marseillaise," forgetting that
they had learnt it-and sung it per-
haps-only two or three years ago in

COMET WITH WAR
ROUSES SUSPICION
Paul Delevan, Astronomer,
Discovers Free-Lance of
Skys for 1914.

Every great war in the worlds his
-ory has had it's comet, and the pres
ant titanic conflict in Europe Is no
exception Paul T. Delevan, an astron-
,mar has the honor of having his
name attached to the free-lance of the
,kies. which will go down in history
and science as the comet OF the war
If 1914. Although when Delevan dis
covered his comet from the observa-
tory of La Plata in the Argentine Re
nublic eight months ago, there was no
war IN the horizon and no sign OF
great trouble. the travelling body has
been steadily growing brighter, and
II vii, become visible to the naked eye
very shortly, reaching its greatest
hrjlljancy in the course of the present
war.
Superstitious people might find
much in the beginning Of the great
struggle to convince them that war ls
a sin. and that it's makers are frowned
on by God. On Aug. 18th, Pope Plus
x. head of the Roman Catholic church
died. the direct result OF worriment
over the great slaughter. On Aug. 21st
there was an eclipse of the sun, total
over a part of Russia and other Euro
mean territory where war is raging
The coming of great comet might
nv the ignorant be construed as an
omen.
When Delevan first saw the comet
on December II, 1913, it was 10000
miles from the sun, and was not very
clear even with the telescope. AT
present it is about 22O,OOO,OOO miles
from the sun, and may be seen with
opera glasses in the northeast part OF
the sky, late at night, and early in the
morning. Scientists have said that
the Delevan Comet will be visible with
telescopes for period stretching over
about six years.
It will come nearest to the earth in
October, when it will be not more
than 147,OOO,00O miles from the orbit
of this globe.

Start to Prepare
Crops For War Use

II ever America puts its hand to
the pillow in its effort to feed the world,
1t has assumed that responsibility now.
Not since the narrowing days follow
ing our own strife of the sixties have
the tillable acres of this country faced
such a possible drain upon their
bountifulness. Without even dimIy
prophesying the duration of the war
now raging, We are already assured
of the fact that next year this coun-
try will be the storehouse of the
world. Every farm owner, every ten
ant and every share-worker will have
his part to play in fulfilling this great
responsibility. No matter how remote
his residence, he will hear Europe's
call for beef, bacon and bread, and on
the amount he has to sell will depend
not only his satisfaction of having ser
we'd his fellow men but the additional
satisfaction of having served himself;
for big crops, much stock, many hogs
next year will mean big profits.
1t is thus that the American far
mer begins his fall work with two
strings to his bow. With one hand he
is rescuing the perishing and with the
other, he is reaching out for tangi-
BILE encouragement toward a bank ac-
count and a better home.
Now 10 Tho Time.
Now is his opportunity, and this
month is the time to lay his founda-
ton. There are two lines along which
he should plan his work. but only one
| line along which he should work his
plan. First, he should utilize every
available part of his land, and second,
he should strive to raise the average
yield Of his farm per acre. There will
be no danger of over-production for
| the crops sown this Fall. The man who
has a big yield will find a big market.
But to get this yield means a better
kind of farming. Now would be a good
time to break away from some old
fashioned ideas about the moon; from
some other old-fashioned ways of
shallow blowing; and some old-fash-
Toned theories in regard to seeding.
| In those parts of the country which
do Fall ploying and Fall seeding, the
way the seed bed is made and the way
the sowing is done this Fall will de-
termine the crop per acre next year
more than next years rainfall, hot
winds or frosts. In an experiment not
long ago described by F. l.. Peterson
of the University Farm at Davis, Cali
fornia, he says:

HISTORY REPEATS
ON ALSACE FIELD
Germans and French Again
Battle Over Rich Ground
Near Border.

History is but repeating itself once
more in the big conflict where the
French and Germans are battling in
Alsace and Lorraine, buffer state and
prize of war for more than a thousand
years. Almost times without number,
since the year 843 A. D. the people Of
what is now Germany and France have
fought for the possession of Alsace
and Lorraine, that territory changing
from one flag to another with aston
iGhing frequency.
The history of France and Germany,
as separate nations, begins in S43, one
thousand and seventy-two years ago
and the history of the woes and tribu-
lations of Alsace and Lorraine as the
bone of contention between the two
and as conquered first by the one and
then by the other. began soon after
that same year 845.
The present campaign that France
is waging against the Germans in AL
SAGE is therefore only the continuation
of a struggle over one thousand years
old. The facts of geographical posi-
tons have created the problem. 1t is
problem which will remain unsolved

France says that the Rhine is her true
| eastern frontier, Germany says that
the frontier lies beside the mountains.
| 1t was in S43 that the three grand
sons of Charlemange, fighting among
| themselves, decided to end the con-
troversy by dividing their grandfath-
er's possessions among themselves.
They acted on the ancient principle
that the lands and the people dwell
ing upon them, tilling the soil in peace

would be of brief duration; that the
stupendous cost, and the terrible loss
Of life wrought by modern war ma
chinery would bring any conflict to a
quick termination.
The European. powers have not en-
tered upon this war without some pre-
vious calculation as to the means by
which 1t must be carried out. In addi-
ton to the great accumulation of gold
in the central banks, plans for new
taxation and additional allowances for
the army and navy have been part of
the fiscal programs of all the powers
for many years.
The immense war appropriation OF
the combatants, huge as they are

EGYPTIAN MAXlMS,

Thou shalt not forget thy
mother and what she hath done
for thee.
Drink not beer to excess! That
which cometh forth from thy
mouth thou canst no longer
speak. Thou fallest down. thou
breakfast thy limbs, and none
stretcheth out hand to thee.
Clamor is abhorrent to the
sanctuary of God. Let thy pray
ers for thyself come forth out
of a loving heart, whose words
remain secret. that he may grant
thee thy needs, may hear thy
prayer and accept thine Offering.
Be diligent Let thine eye be
open that thou mayest not go
forth as a beggar. for the man
who Is idle cometh not to honor.
Speak not over much, for men
are deaf to him who maketh
many words. but If thou art ST.
lent thou art pleasing; therefore
speak not Above all. be eau
tious in speech. for the ruin Of
man is on his tongue. The
body of a man Is a storehouse.
which is full Of all manner Of
answers. Wherefore choose thou
the good. while the evil remain

Behave with propriety at Ia

body, and eat not bread while

placest not thy hand on the bread
for him. The one is rich and
the other is poor. and bread re-
maineth with him who is open

FINANCIAL TROUBLE

embarrassed financially. 1t is not as

set aside more than $1,000. 100000 and
the British Parliament voted $500. 00O,.
600 following this up subsequently
with another appropriation of the
same amount. Russia has not made
known what she appropriated, but it
is safe to say that the grand total OF
the European war funds voted by all
the belligerants is near $4,000, 000. 900.
Several European experts in such
matters have estimated that the war
is now costing the combatants $780,.
100000 a day. Some Frenchmen have
calculated that it is costing France
alone $20,000,0 900 daily.

clares that England will win" Fer

Germany for its attempt to take ad-
vantage Of the popular nervousness in
Italy over the Kaiser's first victories
by working on public opinion in count
less ways. He concludes England is
not impotent by land, as Germany
says and may give Germany a mortal
blow at sea. The war may possibly end

will go through with the struggle

IMPORTANT PUBLIC QUESTIONS
CONFRONTING THE CITY

Mayor Taylor Declares Opposition to
Proposed Increase In the TeIe-
phone Rates.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Little Rock-The Little Rock city
administration at this time has numer.
GUS important questions confronting it,
demanding the attention of the council
and mayor.
One of the most important is the
proposed increase in rates by the
Southwestern Telegraph and Tele.
phone Company The matter has been
referred upon request Of Mayor Tay.
lor to a special committee for inyesti.
cation. The mayor, in special mes.
sage, opposes the increased rates, from
$4 to $5 per month for business and
from 1925 to $275 per month for resi-.
denco service, The company claims to
have now a total Of 1888 telephones in
service. In his address, the mayor
says:
1T is well for the people to know
that the rates which the Southwest
ern Telegraph and Telephone Compa.
ny propose to charge in Little Rock
after April ], for unlimited service,
compares very unfavorably with rates
charged elsewhere for similar service,
! believe that Little Rock is facing the
possibility Of paying for its telephone
service the same rates which are
charged in cities which have from
three to ten times as great population"
Another condition confronting the
oity is that of the supply Of natural
gas from the Caddo fields, which Is
low and inadequate whenever there Is
a cold snap, The Arkansas Natural
Gas Co, which furnishes the gas to
the Little Rock Fuel and Gas Co.. has
completed a new gathering station at
oil City, La, and It Is believed this
will have a tendency to relieve the
situation,
The special committee says: "From
our knowledge Of the influence Of cold
weather on natural gas, and the uncer.
tainty attaching to the supply Of nat
ural gas wells we are free to admit
that the future alone can satisfy as TO
the accuracy Of representation Of the
natural gas people that this gathering
station will remedy the unpleasant. con-
ditIons Of the past cold weather and
furnish adequate supply Of natural gas

The city council has granted fur.
