Conditions in Alsace.

Strong French detachments took
possession Of Alsace August 10, after
having successfully made their way
through the passage of the Vosges and
overpowering the German vanguard at
Muelhausen. A glance at the war map
will show that the defense of these
passes was impossible. since Belfort, ac-
cording to the treaty of Frankfort. was
left in the hands Of the French.
'Muelhausen Is not Germany's strong
hold of the south. 1t Is in reality an un-
protected city, the German fortifcations
being across the Rhine After the French
had made themselves at home In Alsace
and the mourning that had hung on the
bronze statue in the Place de Ia Concorde
for forty-four years had been torn down.
the 14th Baden Corps started its at
tack Fifteen hundred French prisoners
were made, four cannon taken and re-
port of great loss to the enemy confirmed
And even If this big German victory
should be of no importance in the fur
ther development of the war and is in no
way decisive 1t serves as a good illus
tration of German tactics and their pre-
paredness to meet emergencies.
From well informed quarters 1t Is as
sured that the Austrian crack CORPS the

essary for the public to learn and
study the facts. If the President
were actually trying to correct the
situation that exists the public miaht
sit back and leave results to him. In
view Of the administrator present
attitude, however, It is necessary that
facts should be stated.
The Democratic leaders contend
that there is no depression In bust
ness, and President Wilson himself,
while concerning that there is some
dulness, affirms that the cause is
psychological, hence II Is quite i'm.
portant that the real condition be
known.

The President is paying very little
attention to the disastrous result of
tariff revision. With the serene con-

er subjects which have not brought
vleait to the administration, Presi-
dent Wilson simply repeats that there
Is no business depression and refuses
to recognize any evidence which does
not fit in with his own opinion.
Recently an incident occurred at
the White House which shows the
way the President has been deceiving
himself. He has said frequently that
many letters had arrived denying that
a business depression existed. Efforts
were made to obtain some of these
letters, and they were promised for
publication.
Information Of No Value
When the letters were examined II
was found that not a single man OF

The Free Trade leaders regard thei;
policies as in no way responsible for
the colossal failure of the Claflin COM
pany. 1t has recently been pointed
out to President Wilson that changes
in the tariff inflicted great hardships
upon the Clafiin company. The value
of goods of this company, 1t is esti-
mated in textile circles, deprecated
81 100000 the day the Underwood
Tariff went into effect. Intrinsically
the goods were as valuable as ever;
commercially, they were only worth
what 1t would cost to replace them.
The tariff also hit the house by the
feeling on the part Of the consuming
public that because of the tariff the
retail price ON dry goods would be ra-
Ideally cut. This resulted In reduc-
ton of sales, the public holding of
for the big cuts they imagined were
coming, but which as yet has not ma
terialized. The retail stores control
led by the Clafiin company felt the
effect of this Immediately. and the
parent house through the inability OF
those concerns to meet their obliga'
tons. The house also had thousands
of accounts OF independent merchants
who were likewise affected, collec
lions becoming somewhat difficult
and recorders not as plentiful as would

Mr.. Robertson, on behalf of the
Bureau Of Corporation said that ii
might be some time before final re-
ports are made by the seven agents
who are now In the field. He said
that they were sending in field re-
ports, but that it would take long
time 10 analyZe the data in order
that final report might be made up.
He would not say what he thought Of
present conditions, or what recon-
mendations would be made In the re-
ports. 1t is known, however, that
most Of the investigators feel that the
| beet sugar industry cannot live UNI
der present conditions and that some
| thing viii! have to be done II the in
/ dustry is to be saved. Whether the
/ President will permit such a report
/ to be made public, however, is an
entirely different question. The sec
recy that has characterized this ad
ministration from its very beginning
will probably apply to the report
showing the disaster that has come
upon the sugar industry.

Tree on Tree.

A singular tree in Cuba is called the
yaguey tree. 1t begins to grow at the
top Of another tree. The seed is car
ried by bird, or waited by the wind,
and, falling into some moist, branch
ing parts, takes root and speedily be-
gins to grow. 1t sends kind of thin,
stringlike root down the body of the
tree, which is soon followed by others.
In course of time these rootings strike
the ground. and growth Immediately
commences upwards. New rootings
continue to be formed and get strength
until the one tree grows as net round
the other. The outside one surrounds
and presses the inner, strangling it's
life and augmenting its own power.
At length the tree within Is killed.
and the parasite that has taken pos
session becomes itself the tree.

AFRO-AMER|CAN CU[[|NCS

According to the preliminary report
Of the census bureau, although the
population of Negroes i'm the United
States has Increased 993.769 since
1900, IN 1910 they formed only 1917
Of the total population. against 11.6
per cent in 1900. The total number OF
Negroes In the United States in 1910
was 9,S27.763,' compared with $685.
944 in 1900. The increase for the dec
ade was 11.2 per cent. In the same
time there was an increase Of eos per
cent among the native whites and 30.7
per cent among the foreign born
whites. The Negroes are the only race
In the country showing larger per
centage of females than males.
1t Is gratifying to note that the Ne
groes form 14.5 per cent of the rural
population OF the country. For years
Negro leaders have urged their people
to stay on the farm and avoid the con-
gestion of the cities. The Negro In the
country Is selfsupporting, healthy.
and In many cases better provided
with this worlds goods than his white
neighbor on the same economic foot
ing. This is particularly true among
the small farmers of the South. where
the training OF the Booker 7. Wash
ington school at Tuskegee has resulted
in making some highly successful Ne
gro farmers. in addition to the other
Industrial pursuits for which students
are fitted. The total value Of farm
property operated by Negroes Ii shown
to be s1.148.1s1.000 In 1910. which Is
no inconsiderable sum and Ia a large
increase over the valuation OF $780,
941 900 In 1900.
These figures are highly significant
as showing the large number OF Negro
farmers there are in the country and
the rapidly with which they are de-
veloping. OF the total Negro popula-
ton more than seven million live In
the country. In the ten years illiteracy
has decreased from ST. to S04.
while the death rate has de-
creased in the registration area from
2s.4 per cent to 25.5 per cent. In
every way the Negroes seem to have
made substantial progress during the
last decade -Birmingham Age-Her-

BOILING WATER As WEAPON
Parallel for Act OF Heroic Women
Found In Siege of Naaur BY
the Tartars-

The heroic acts OF the Belgian wom-
en- who defended their homes against
the German invaders. resorting to boil
Ing water when their ammunition gave
out. has a historical parallel which
viii no doubt be OF interest at the
present time, says the Outlook.
In this case the defenders were Co.'S
sack women and the scene OF the en-
counter a small town not far from the
Sea of Azov.
IN 1874. during the first Turkish
war. the town OF Naaur was being be-
aieged by 5000 Tartars-a large army
in those days. All the men of the
town had left for the war. which was
proceeding at some distance. and the
town remained undefended save for a
handful OF soldiers. II had. however.
the advantage OF being surrounded by
a wall. and was well supplied with am
munItion. The enemy imagined that
they would only have to overcome a
very few soldiers and the town would
be theirs. Instead. to their amaze
ment, they had to face an army Of
women. young and old. arrayed in
their best red sarafans. fully armed
and eager to fight. And these wom-
en- not only defended the walls OF
their town. but they sailed out and
fought valiantly In hand-to-hand Skin
mishes. They also tended enormous
fires and heated pitch and boiling wa
ter to pour on the heads OF the enc
mics when they approached the walls
OF the town. The story goes that not
only did they pour water and pitch on
the foe. but the broth that was cooking
for dinner went the same way.
That was the first experience tho
cossack women had of active serv-
ice" Later It became tradition and
a custom that In battles the women
should take their share OF actual fight
ing. And during the continual raids
and battles which occurred they be-
came expert soldiers. standing ode by
side with old warriors and often help
Ing with less usual weapons, such as
scythcs and plfchforks
The Cossack woman of today has
retained her traditions. and she Is not
only independent aud generally eff
cient. but she is also often an excel
lent shot. and is quito capable Of de-
Tending her village II necessary an
