The Servian victory over the Aus
TRANS is an emphatic lesson on the
foolishness of relying on news re-
ports from Vienna. All through the
war the reports from Petrograd and
Vienna have usually proved unreli-
able and often directly opposite to the
facts. OF the nations actually at war
the German reports from Berlin are
apparently most reliable, with Lon
don second and Paris third.

The attack on British coast towns
Wednesday morning by German
deet is the first time that England
has been struck by a foreign foe
since William the Conquero landed
in England in 1866. The United
states should learn lesson from
his sudden blow to British pride and
prestige This country does not need
TO prepare for war but IL does need to
cpare to be able to prepare within
reasonable length of time. Great
Britain in this present war has reas-
ON to be ashamed that she did not
heed Rudyard Kipiing's advice OF IF
teen years ago. when. in one OF the
mos, forceml poems he eye- wrote
used these lines in Urging his count
7ymcn to learn the lesson OF the Boer
war and train enough soldiers TO meet
crisis:
so yc shall bide sure qua ded
When the restless ightnings wake
In the womb Of the blotting war
cloud
And the pallid nations quake.
nut ye say it will mar our comfort,
Yc cay it win minish our trade
DO ye wait for the scattered shrapnel
Ere ye learn how a gun is laid?
20 the low red glare to southwark
When the raided coast town burn.
Light We shall have on that lesson
But little time TO learn.

BIG BRIDGE TO

L.C.ANNOUNCES
Work to Begin April lst--Will Be
Done by Cairo
Painters.

The Illinois Central railroad has
announced the intention of begin
ming work on the painting of the big
bridge on April list. The work is TO
be in charge of H. j, Barkely and
will give employment to many local
painters as from twenty to thirty men
will be required FOR period of sew
eral weeks.
The estimated amount of paint
which will be required for this
enormous task has not yet been an
no0nC2d and other details in con-
nection with its accomplishment are
yet TO be arranged. 1t is a matter
for congratulation that the company
will employ local men, as it is un
derstood that it has been customary
on other large railroad systems to
maintain their own men, transport
ing them from one point OF their
lines to others as necessity for their
services developed.

NEW ARC LIGHT.

Alderman Sam Levy, chairman OF
the light committee, informed The
Eagle editor this morning that new
arc light had been installed on West
Anderson street The light is located
Just across the alley from the post
office at the corner OF the lot on
which the Federal building is to be
erected. The light is permanent and
is suspended from modern crook
necked iron pole, imbedded in solid
cement. The current for the light is
to be supplied for the present from
the street wires now passing that
point, but when the new arc light
system is installed on Main street, II
will be cut into this system so that
all arc lights will be on the same
circuit.
The new light will be turned on to-
night for the first time and will be n
great convenience and help to that
part of the city. 1t will light up An
derson street block further west
as we'll as making 1t as light as day
in front of the postoffice, the new
Episcopal Church. the Elks' Club and
all the buildings back to Main street.

The usual after-Christmas apathy in
business was evident today. 1t is al
ways so. In week farming and bust
ness activities of all kinds will resume
and business will move right on as
it always does. Some people predict
a very quiet business year. There is
absolutely no necessity for it. The
farmers have to have trace chains,
back bands, pillow lines, sweeps, turn
ing plows, hoes, rakes, planters, cult
vators, etc, and everybody has to eat
food and wear clothes. The Eagle
does not believe the predictions of a
dull business year.-Bryan Eagle.
It is no time for bowling calamity.
After all, it is much better than If

to potter around their printing offices,
reading the copy on the printers
cases and meddling with the type
forms on the imposing stones. A
printing office is more private in
stitution than a store or blacksmith
shop or a toddy emporium, and in
tending visitors should never feel in
suited when they find the way to the
printery barred to them. But the
business office of newspaper and the
editorial rooms are different. They
are open to the public, and the editor
and business manager are ordinarily
quite glad to have the public come
around, especially on business with
the office. Furthermore, the editor of
weekly paper, as at Odessa, may
have a good deal of time in which to
entertain company, but company
should always remember that the edi-
tors and writer's for a daily newspaper
are right busy people, and casual
strangers in editorial offices should
not make visits OF more than three
hours duration.-Galveston News.
