EUROPEAN NEWS AND VIEWS.

London, Aug. 14.-All Europe is
staggered by the war. and while the
news dispatches are paying more at
tention to the results Of engagements
between the conflicting forces, there
is side of the struggle that is re-
ceiving but scant attention. Germany
has voted over one billion dollars to
carry her colors to glory; England has
appropriated s525,OOO,OOO for "emerg-
ency" purposes; Russia and France
have also voted immense sums for
use in war and the smaller countries
engaged in the struggle will also have
to spend vast sums. This money will
have to be raised by taxation and in
most instances the people are already
overburdened with taxes. What the
outcome of 1t all will be is a question
that is on every tongue. Yet even the
most hopeless agree that this greatest
of wars will stagger humanity.
When one hears about Switzerland's
plans to preserve her neutrality, there
should be no cynical smiles about the
Swiss navy. As a matter Of fact,
Switzerland has a small armed vessel,
somewhat like a gunboat, stationed on
the Lake of Geneva and usually to be
found opposite Lausanne. 1t is not a
formidable looking craft. but appar'
emily 1t has a big mission, for 1t keeps
watch on French Savoy, and incident

in Tuzla there are others, nearly al
of them Servian students. There Is
among the imprisoned one professor
at the college at Tuzla whose lessons
in history, it is said, always culmi
mated in detailed instructions "how &c

DEFENDING THE COUNTRY BOY.

Better educated, quicker witted

are some OF the superiorities Of the
city lad over the country boy. accord
ing to F. r. Lund OF the Massachu
sets Agricultural College, who is sec
rotary OF the Boston placement bu
reau. II is his work to find positions
on farms for Massachusetts school
boys and girls during the summer
months.
This praise OF the eftete city youth
is. we confess. a surprise. Mr.. Lund
ought to know what he is talking
about, as he has ample opportunity to
Judge between the relative merits OF
the town and country boys.
There are certain reasons why the
city boy should be more alert, quicker
witted and better educated than his
country cousin. Everything is by
comparison. The city boy goes to 9
school where there are many pupils
of a wide divergence of ability. The
competition is keener. 1t means more
for a city boy to stand well in studies
The schools are better equipped, the
opportunities for learning more nu
merous.
The country boy is at a disadvan
tage. In a class OF half a dozen pu
pills the standard of scholarship OF the
brightest pupil is probably much love-
than that of the brightest pupil in
class of several hundred. 1t is sim
pie matter of arithmetic and the Law
of average.

pend on the size OF the yield and the
stage at which the fodder is pulled.
II the corn is a heavy crop OF forty or
fifty bushels per acre and the fodder
is pulled while the corn is green, the
loss may be as much as ten or fifteen
bushels OF shelled corn per acre. by

loss from pulling the fodder and top

On the other hand, II the yield Is
lighter and the crop allowed TO more
nearly approach maturity before the
fodder is pulled, the loss resulting
from the removal OF the leaves, or
leaves and tops. may be very little.
An average OF several experiments, In
number OF Southern States with corn
averaging about twenty-five bushels
per acre gives n loss OF around FIVE
bushels per acre. due to pulling the
leaves on before the corn has ma
tured When this loss OF corn and
the cost OF pulling the fodder and
later gathering the corn are compared
with the cost OF cutting and shocking

no question about 1t being Improbable

Of the "sleepiness" OF which Mr.. Lund
accuses the country boy.
Mr.. Lund says that the city boy Is
better able TO entertain the farmer
and his family. but the question OF
vaudeville ability does not solve the
problem OF life on the farm.
The country boy has a harder row
to hoe, but he is by nature as well
equipped mentally as his city brother
His body is probably stronger and his
habits stand a better chance OF being
cleaner. The triumphs Of the country

RATS UNDER MANHATTAN.

According to discoveries made by
the bureau Of sewers and verified by
the department OF health. large sec
tion of the lower end of Manhattan
Island is undermined with tunnels
and caverns Of armies Of rats. Out
side of the menace to health is the
danger TO the foundations OF build
ings. The existence OF these thou
sands of miles of rat tunnels and Of
millions of rats was called to the at
tention of the city authorities when
the ancient sewer in Liberty street
caved in. II was found that this nun
bred year old brick sewer had been
undermined by a colony OF rats. The
caving in of this caused the citys
sewer engineer to make an investiga'
ton which has developed remarkable
facts. He has found that any time
the older structures may tumble with
out apparent reason, being completely
undermined with the tunnels and cav
ems of the rodents. When the south
ern half Of the old Aston House was
demolished, perhaps 100000 rats we're
caught. killed and burned. As the old
foundation walls we're blasted out, af-
ter holding back the street for nearly
century, the caverns OF the rats
we're exposed, Several of these tun'
nels we're traced for two blocks
Hordes of rats, most of them blind,
that had been born in the dark and
, never saw daylight, stampeded blind
