T0day's War
Summary
By John EDWIN NEvIN.

ENGLAND-The latest hist of
the lost in the British naval disas-
ter in the North sea places the
number at 1874. Unofficial but
authentic sources declare the Brit
ish have succeeded in turning the
German right wing in France. 1t is
expected the Germans will again
be forced to retreat.
FRANCE-The war office be-
heves the Germnas are already
withdrawing many of their troops
from the fighting line in the north.
II is expected they will again be
compelled to retreat within a very
short time. The German right is
already partly enveloped and is re-
tiring.
BELGIUM - Antwerp reports
that British aviators have flown
we'll into Germany, and have drop.
ped bombs on the aviation field
near Cologne, setting fire to a shed
used by the Zeppelins. The Bel
gian army under King Albert in per-
son, is again actively harrassing
the Germans.
RUSSIA-The war office saws
the crushing of the Austrian Of
fense continues, and that many
Austrians are deserting to the
Russians. 1t is admitted the Rus
slams are Withdrawing from East
Prussia.
SERVIA-The SerWan var Of
flee announces that the Austnaus

bovJs.

confirms the report that SaraJevO,
capital Of Bosnia, has been cap
tured by the com bined Se-yian-
Montenegrin army.
GERMANY-It is declared there
is still little change in the battle
situation in France. Fighting con-
rinues with the Germans slowly
gaining the advantage. In East
Prussia the Russians have been
driven back on the border with
heavy losses, and the attempted
seige of Koenigsberg has been
abandoned.
AUSTRIA-The war office posi-
lively denies that Sarajevo has
been taken by the Servians or that
it is in danger Claims of another
Servian victory are specifically de-
MED. While admitting sporadic
cases of dysentery and cholera
among the troops at the front, but
it is denied that there is any cpl
dernic.
ITALY The anti-neutrality
demonstrations continue, but there
is no present indication of the gov
axnment changing its policy.

Life Sentence For Him.

Memphis, May 30 J. Ed. BaXtXer,
charged with the murder of the father
mother and brother of his wife, and
who since he was arrested in Ken
tuckv several months ago, has been
feigning insanity, Thursday was con-
victed and sentenced to life imprison-
ment. The jury reached their verdict
without leaving the box.
Immediately after the verdict was
announced Baxter dropped his role OF
insanity and laughed over the way he
"put one over" as he expressed 1t, on
the commission, which passed on his
sanity. He said he did not want to be
sent to the electric chair.
Baxter's victims, J. A. Smith and his
wife and son, Oscar, the latter aged
16. were shot down in cold blood when
Smith refused to admit Baxter to his
home where the latter had gone to see
his wife. from whom he was separated
Mrs. Baxter; behind a door, witnessed
the murders. She secured a divorce
after his arrest.

SUNDAY MORNING THOUGHT,

To my perceptions it is perfect
goodness. and that alone, which can
transcend all limitations and over
come all antagonisms; in fact, the
very thought of limitations and an
taeonisms implies imperfection, II Is
part of the very nature Of evil, II Is
vhat evil is. So when Jesus rose
from the tomb in which his murder
ers had laid him, he but revealed IN
power truth which belongs TO the
very essence of the life divine-ntme-
". that all gates fly open and all
barriers fall down before love winch
knows neither lack nor limit. 1t Is
not possible for such an in'tnc!bie
fact to be holden OF death n any
form. it dies to self only to live TO
all. il gives itself away only 10 hrd
itself more fully; it lays Itself down
in absolute surrender only to rise
again in limitless power and glory.
Acting from within the conditions
Of poor. burdened humanity, shut
within the prison-house of the flesh.
and operating consistently from the
standpoint that human life is some
how one and indiyisible, and that none
can find his own soul except in sacrl'
ficing il to the larger life of the race
Jesus emerged victorious-the hrsl
fruits of them that sleep, and in sc
doing gave us a foreglimpse of what
will happen when all mankind is gov
erned bv his spirit. The bands o.
death were loosed for him; materia
conditions could contine him no long
er: the flesh ceased TO be bondage
he was as free of all his former ham
pering restrictions as though they ha'
melted into nothingness. And tha
is Just what is coming when all ou
race is perfectly conformed to HI
likeness and becomes one with hiI
in a fellowship which nothing ca
ever dissolve. There shall be II
more death. neither sorrow, nor or.
ing. neither shall there be any nor
pain: for the former things are pas
ed away" They will have to so, /
sure of that; not one OF them ca
remain when the love OF Christ
all.in-all. For he must reign, till /
hath put all enemies under his fee
The last enemy that shall be destro
e0 IS death."-Rey. X. J. Campoe

HON. e. 3. HOWARD.

When Joe McClelland was here re-
Gently on his campaign for state treas
urer. he remarked in private conyer-
sation that the office of state auditor
was one of the most important places
in the state. Mr.. McClelland Is a
banker: he is used TO being careful
with handling funds, and he had lit
tie idea of the responsibilities OF the
office when Governor Cruce appointed
him to that place. He said the lesis'
lature did not make the salary in
keeping with the responsibility and
the people did not understand just
what the office meant to them. There
is not a paper of pins purchased by
the state that the bill does not come
before the auditor for his o. X. In
view of this condition that prevails, 1t
IS evidence that the people should
look out carefully how they cast their
ballots. In this race is the Hon. h.
z. Howard, who has served the state
on the board of affairs. He is man
who has stuck to the right, no matter
what the politicians thought. He is
big enough TO be governor of the
state and some of these days he must
be reckoned with as candidate for
governor In the meantime he is con-
tent to take the smaller office and
prepare for bigger things.

kAFFIR CORN ACREAGE.
Oklahoma Grain Men Are Urging the
Food Value Of This Crop.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May 90
kaffir corn has an increased acreage
in Oklahoma this season despite the
backward spring and the wet, chilly
weather that is particularly hard on
this crop. The agitation that has
been carried on by the farm experts,
both of the state and federal depart
ments. has had effect in increasing the
acreage each year The theory that
has been advanced by John Fields
that it does not pay to grow corn on
land that has not produced crop
of twenty-five bushels in fve years
has become sort of rule for the
farmers of Oklahoma. They are
planting kaffir on that sort OF land
and their success is very satisfactory.
They find that the kaffir stands the
hot weather much better than corn
There is an increasing use of katir
flour in the farm homes OF Okla
hCma. Eut the number of farmers
who know the value of kaffir as a
food for the family is still smaller
than it ought to be, according to men
who have made many experiments and
studied the adaptability of katflr
flour to the needs of the household.
People who are urging the growing
OF Kaffr corn on the farms are also
urging that the farmers learn the
value Of this grain as a food for
