DAYS DEVELOPMENTS IN EUROPEAN WAR

The raid of the German cruisers on British coast towns and their escape in the prevailing mist, takes prece-
 dence in the news from the European
 war zone. The Germans succeeded n
 evading patrols and mines and poured shells into the towns of Hartpool, Scarborough and Whitby. Though in some quarters it IS thought that this was a felnt to draw the British fleet from strategic points it is guarding Tn the North sea, or, perhaps, was in- tended as a demonstration for moral effect, the German guns did a vast amount of damage and killed and
 wounded many persons.
 The allies continue to claim success es and some progress in Belgium, while in the east the Germans are again pressing the Russians. Five army corps, aggregating about 2OO,- 900 men, are arriving in Warsaw to strengthen tie garrison.
 Petrograd advices deny that Aus tria is seeking peace agreements with Russia. %
 France estimates that the war for the six months in 1915 will cost her $1 1,185, 5,888,573, or about $2OO, O,OOO,OOO monthly.
 Vienna has admitted officially, ac- cording to dispatches from Rome, that
 100000 Austrians were killed or wounded in the unsuccessful cam
 paign against Servia.
 The German embassy at Washing
 ton has received advices from the
 German minister to Chile to the eff
 feet that in the recent fight between 1 British and German warships off the
 Falkland Islands, the British ships
 were badly damaged, and one of them
 apparently was sunk.
 Basil, Switzerland, reports that the
 French armies have taken the offen-
 sive on the front from Belfort to
 Sainte Marie-Aux- Mines and have converted Thann into a stronghold. Washington has sent the cruiser
 Tacoma to Colon to protect the neu- trality of the canal zone. Official announcement of the naval raid from the British official informa-
 tion bureau came through with un-
 usual celerity. Some of these dis patches were passed by the censor and transmitted to New York in about an hour, as compared with delays of two
 to four hours, which are not unusual in the forwarding of war news from l London.

The Walnut-Stained Boy.

Don't censure the boy whose hands are discolored with green walnut stain. Any boy that will put in his idle time after school hours pounding green walnuts with stout club, sepa- rating the hull from its hidden treas. ure, deserves a word of praise and word of encouragement. We've a warm place in our heart for such a boy. The green walnut is an unfailing sign that he has ambition and energy snd that he has exercised these ster. ling qualities by looking after No. 1. He may have stored walnuts for his own use during the winter or he may have sold them. It really doesn't mat ter how he disposes of them-the s.rong point in his favor being that he got them and has stained hands to prove it |. in after years he tackles life's tasks without fear of getting his hands soiled we'll wager he tastes or success Evansville Courier.

LITTLE OCCASION FOR WORRY
Physician's Anxiety as to Germs Quiet ed by Assurance Made by

| A party of physicians were on their had gathered in the buffet car to dis cuss professional matters. The talk had begun with proper cleanliness in bandaging. It had progressed to that point where sneezing was condemned for tho germs it disseminated, when the engine whistled to announce an ap- preaching station. The porter entered He waved his whiskbroom.
 "Bresh you of. suh?- he asked of one of the doctors. The doctor turned on him.
 Just exactly what I've been con- tending" he said, heatedly. There's one of the finest little systems of spreading germs that ever was invent ed. The porter comes in here and he brushes me of; then he brushes you. and you. and everyone else. and starts lot of germs flying round in the air to be breathed in and start disease. I say that germs ought not to be disturbed in public. It's dangerous. They ought to be let alone-not thrown up into the air by all this brushing!" There was a moment of silence. The porter grinned foolishly. He first stood on one foot, then on the other He grinned again, then waved his brush.
 Come on, Doctah!" he begged: come on and let me bresh you ~-! Pshaw! Don't let that idea about mi. ornhoc hnfhor onvf What ntfl0 breshin' I'm going to do ain't going to disturb no germs. No, suhr!"-Youth's 6 Companion.

SOFT BERTH FOR RUSSIAN
His Knowledge of Japanese Super fieIai, But 1t Secured Him
 Professorshlp.

The war in Europe and rumors of war nearer home have given occasion to Japanese papers to publish some "reminiscences of the war with Russia. When peace was concluded between Japan and Russia the study of the Japanese language became something like craze among Russians. At liar. bin, for instance, Japanese were in great demand as teachers of their mother tongue. Many Japanese bar. bers and laundrymen shut up their shops and became instructors of Jap anese. As in most cases the instruc. tion was not conducted on a systemat. ic method, many Russian students o! Japanese only succeeded in acquiring a smattering of the language. Some time ago a Japanese interpreter who taught Japanese to Russian railway men at Harbin, received letter from one of his whilom pupils asking for a certificate of his proficiency. As a matter of fact, his knowledge of Jap. anese does not extend beyond what may be called pidgin Japanese, but a certificate was forwarded to him as required. A few weeks later the in. terpreter was surprised to receive a letter from the Russian, informing him that he had been engaged by the government as professor of Japanese at monthly salary of 500 roubles.

given out in Paris at o'clock this
afternoon.
"First-On our left wing, on the
right bank of the river Disc we have
advanced in the region of LassiSny,
where there have been violent en-
counters with the enemy. On the left
bank of the Oise and to the north of
the river Aisne the situation is un-
changed.
"Second-On the center. between
Rheims and the river Meuse, there
has been no change of Importance. In
the Woevre district, to the northeast
of Verdun, and in the direction of
Mouilly and Dompirre, the enemy un-
dertook violent attacks which were,
however. repulsed In the southern
part of the Woevre district the enemy
holds line from Richecourt to Seich

IF we were manufacturing the
goods we use, instead of importing
them. we would have prosperity, and
IL we had a sufficiently high import
duty on the goods we bring in from
abroad. we would have sufficient rev.
enue without question. What we need
now is economy and not next taxes.
What we have under the Democratic
Administration is extravaganza and

The minority members of the COM
mittee, although they argue that con-
ditions would have been much better
under protective tariff, profess to see
no danger in the Treasury situation
and declare that the practice of econ
omy by the party in control of affairs
would serve to meet the difficulty much
better than a tax.
The theory that the withdrawal of
government surplus in banks would be
dangerous is combatted by the Repub-
licans. In their report, after showing
that the Treasury balance on Septem-
ber Q was $122,843.190, said 1--WE

drawal of the money in these banks,
as the Treasury may need 1T, will have

and business generally than the with
drawal of the much larger sum from
