THE DOMINANT PRUsSIAN.

1t has been generally assumed that
the South Germans who have little in
common with the Pruss'ans, must have
gone into this war with small enthu-
slasm. and must resent the blatant hru-
tally and crazy Prussiansm with which
1t has been Waged. The Bavarians and
their immediate ncighhors have remained
to a large extent race of peaceful leth-
argic dreamers. For generations they
were the allies Of France, and 1t was
Napoleon who first raised tho rulers of
Bavaria and Saxony to the dignity OF
kings. An interesting interview with a
member of the Bavaran parliament
which we quote to-day, confirms our be-
lief In the South Germans distrust OF
Prussia, and at the same time gives lis
valuable knowledge of moderate German
opinion Mt this time OF crisis. The Ra-
varan deputy roundly denounces the in
vasion OF Belgium as "A colossal military

F. L. Gohlke of North Champlair

Mr. Gohlke has one brother in France
with the western army and the other is

distinguished galantry, was mentioned

Russians. In that battle he had mar

The fight took place near Radon and ~

| then took command and led the company
in the charge which dislodged the Rus
SLAMS and drove them back n distance ot
about 20 miles in three days.
| In one of the engagements he felt
something Hike slap in the face but paid
no attention TO it at the time Later, he
searched to ascertain if he had been
wounded but could find no indication that
he had At night, however, he found that
a nearly spent bullet had struck him and

cigarettes. The top of the box was prob

directly over his heart it undoubtedly pre-
vented him from being dangerously

coat and lodged in his vest pocket.

THREE DELEGATES WANTED
FOR BIG ROAD CONGRESS

Mayor Nichols has been request
ed by the Hon. A. B. Fletcher, pres
ident of the Fourth American Road
Congress and State Highway Engi-
neer of California, to name three
delegates to attend the sessions OF
the congress at Atlanta, Georgia,
during the week Of November 9th,
Forty-seven great organizations
are taking part in the congress un-
der the leadership Of the American
Highway association and the Amer
lean Automobile association. In his
letter to the mayor, President
Fletcher calls attention to the fact
that practically every state highway
commissioner will be present and
take part in discussing the import
ant problems of road construction
and maintenance, and that some OF
the foremost men in public life will
devote their attention to the great
question of federal aid to road Inn
provement, in an endeavor to work
out a policy which may be submitted
to the congress of the United States
with the support of the organized
road movement of America. An i'm
portant move bearing upon state
legislation will be made at the SEES
sion to be held under the auspices
of the American Bar association, at
which joint committee, appointed
at the 1913 congress, will report
progress in compilation and sug-
gested revision of state road laws.
The creation of commission partici-
pated in by each state to work out
a revision of the road laws will be
urged. The National Civil Service
REFORM League will hold an exceed
ingly important session on the
merit system in road administration.

EXPORTS TO EUROPE
WILL SOON RECOVER

Europe's production Of crops and
manufactures will be seriously cur
tailed, says War Bulletin No. OF
Orange Judd service bureau from
Orange Judd Farmer.
Consequently American exports
must be paid for largely in gold.
This will bring back to the United
States every dollar of the $15O,OOO,-
900 of gold recently exported, and
then some!
Only the suspension of export
shipments has prevented a steady
upward rush in produce prices, but
those sh:?mcnts are now to be re-
sumed as rapidly as possible. The
fleets Of England and France should
keep open the ocean lanes, our
coastwise shipping may partly be
diverted to the foreign trade, vast
tonnage of mercantile marine Will
be transferred to the American flag
and other neutral bottoms will be-
come available. Thus the delay in
the export movement should be but
temporary.

DRY GOODS PRICES GO UP
BECAUSE OF EUR0PE's WAR

c. A. Case, who returned Sunday
from n trip to eastern dry goods
markets. considers himself fortunate
in purchasing his fall goods before
a general advance was declared on
import goods because Of the Euro
pean war. Before Mr.. Case left New
York laces and embroideries Vere
advanced SO per cent. velvets and
ribbons 2b, finery. art goods and
ID. M. c. crochet thread IS, silks 10,
and linens 20. And the price VIII
continue TO advance, Mr., Case
thinks, for It is practically impossi-
BILE to obtain much imported goods.
American manufactured goods VIII
suffer because OF the scarcity OF
German dye. which is used almost
exclusively in the teytile factories OF
the world.
skirts viii be wider this year
than they have been for the past
three seasons, Mr.. Case says. There
will be great diversity in lengths
and all separate skirts will have
Russian tunics. Basque effects viii
prevail. Silks and woolens will have
bright plaids or Roman stripes In
narrow and extreme widths.
