solicitor of the prosecution of man

Although there was practically no
evidence against the man, the youthful
attorney did his best, but was aston

The Waste IN Storms.

Many scientists and captains of in

storm at the vast power running to
waste in the heavens, and at sundry
times attempts have been made to en-
trap and utilize the energy Of light

had insignificant results. BY way OF
experiment huge rocks have been split
asunder by attracting the lightning t.
them, and in a few isolated cases il
has been claimed that paralysis has
been cured by shocks administered by
lightning, but rs yet mans ingenuity
has not devised the harness that will

Washington, Aug. 26.-That General
Villa intends to oppose the election OF
General Carranza to the presidency O.
Mexico is the news received in Wash.
ington today. The administration
hopes that the differences between the
two Mexican leaders will be adjusted
without any further bloodshed.
General Carranza has sent one OF
his three division commanders-Gen
eral Obregon-to Sonora, not only 10
smooth out the local troubles in THAI
state, but TO confer with General Villa
in an endeavor to bring Villa into com
plete harmony with the Carranza gov,
ernment.
Villa would have 20 objection, it is
learned, if Carranza retired as first
chief provisional president and be
came a candidate in the general elec
tions, but Villas followers are cont
dent that they could defeat Carranza
at the polls. General Villa, it is un,
derstood, from reliable sources, has
let it be known that he does not wish
to enter the presidential race, prefer
ring that no military man hereafter

is suggested in many quarters that

Nothing is known here about Gen

able apprehension is felt that new

The federal troops who have been
mustered out are thronging into Vera
Cruz. They have been falsely in.

OUR WHEAT IN DEMAND
Foreign Countries Bidding Eagerly In
This Country.

New Yo- !. aug. 10. Sentiment in
the hnancia district was distinctly de.
pressed today by the differences drawn
as to the financial bearing of the de
yelopments IN The European war. A
slight stinening in the sterling ex-
change market in response to the news
of German successes was hardly an
adequate reflection of the actual
change Of feeling. Perhaps Wall street
had been u. duly optimistic as to the
duration of The great conflict.
The demand for wheat from England
and Franc has extended to Greece,
Italy, Turkey and the scandinavian
countries. Most of Europe il bidding
eagerly for wheat and oats in this
market and the amount Of fresh busi-
ness done this week has already as.
sumed large proportions, but in spite
of a somewhat freer offering Of grain
bills and also Of finan e bills the ex-
change market remained exceedingly
strong. Rates even advanced slightly.

Iand-Win Be No Flinchng, He
Says-Sends Message of Congratu-
Iations to British Troops In France.
London, Aug. 2t-E1gland is net
dismayed by events in Belgium and
France. The military authorities of
Great Bc.,ain, familiar With the re-
sources of the Germans, expected re
verses at the beginning of the war.
H,N,Vei, IA, nation IS determined 10
prosecute the war until the Prussian
military Juggernaut has been de-
molished.
Lord Kitchener, speaking in the
house of commons, said:
There N,II De serluus conflicts
which undoubtedly VIII strain the
forces of Our empire and undoubtedly
considerable sacrifices to our people
will be entailed. These will willingly
be borne for our honor and for tie
preservation of our position in the
world and they will be shared by our
dominions, who are now sending con-
tingents and giving assistance Of
every kind to the mother country"
Lord Kitchener alluded to Premier
Asquith's statement in the house OF
commons that the British troops had
greatly aided the French and had
been able to maintain their positions
in the face of fierce German attacks.
He said he had sent telegram to Sir
John French, the commander of the
British eXpeditionary force, reading as
follows:
Congratulate the troops on their
splendid work. We are proud OF
them
Continuing, Lord Kitchener pointed
out that the fighting in Europe would
result in greater casualties than the
campaigns Great Britain usually was
engaged in. He said he was sure that
the public was fully prepared to meet
whatever losses and sacrifices the
country might have to face, and he
paid a tribute to the readiness of the
expeditionary force and the invalu-
able aid OF the press and public in
preserving silence and accepting the
novel situation.
"While other countries engaged in
this war have under their systems Of
compulsory service brought their iull
resources mo the field" continued /
Lord Kitchener I'VE, under our nation
al system, have not been so com
PEELED. Therefore we still have vast
reserve to draw from, the resources
of both the mother country and the
dominions.
The response which already has
been made by the dominions abundant
ly proves that we have not looked in
vain to these sources of military
strength, and while India, Canada.

that each time the bottle is to be emp

to have rushed the place under the
eyes of the allied armies
Many of the military experts sus-
gest the French may have been over
confident. They think that, misled
by the success of the early Belgian
operations some of the French corps
commanders were too eager and ad-
vanced their lines toQ last and With

case in Lorraine, where the French

along the Luxembourg frontier and
simultaneously renewed the offensive
in Belgium. The war office admits de.
feat in Lorraine and that the Ges

liam was halted in his victorious
march through Belgium by French,
British and Belgian troops. The
French and British held their lines
west of Charleroi and Mons against
repeated assaults. French and British
generals report the morale of the
troops to be excellent in spite Of
recent defeat.
Germany's center armies which now
face Frances greatest forts, made no
attempt to advance. Assault will
probably be delayed until heavy siege
suns can be brought up.
Germany's army in northern Bel
gium was defeated by the French,
English and Belgian forces at Malines.
The Germans attempted to turn the
allies left flank, the object being to
force a retreat from Charleroi. The
maneuver failed. The Germans fled
before a counter attack and were pu~-
sued far to the east of Malines. Bel
gian troops are now actively cooper

This done, the food is allowed free pas
