iERMAN s0cIALsTs I'M BERLIN ARE REPORTED RISING M REVOL7
CLIMAX OF WEEK OF HOT
SKIRMISHING NOW COMES in
BATTLE ALONG LONG Line

The great battle now in progress in reality began with
SmShing and several sharp encounters on August IL On
the afternoon of August the French and Germans en-
gagged all along the frontiers ASace and Lorraine and the
fighting extenIed up into the dchy of lxembg The dis
patches to the Bulletin last Thursday gave the first in
formation that the first big battle of the war had begun
Since that time the rival commanders have been massng
corps after corps on the German border and the fight
ing has been constantly more serious.
Last nights dispatches brought the news that the battle
front now extends from Base on the Franco Swiss border
for $50 miles northeast to Maecht Cor Maastrict 1.-THE
Dutch province of Limburg, along the voges mountains
through luxembWg and even into Holland.
The same dispatches also brought the news that Japan
has sent an matum to Germany, demanding that the Ger
mans withdraw their warshps from Asiac waters and eva
cuate their military base of Kauchau. The utimatum time
limit is Sunday August %.
Locally il is considered quite possible that unless Ger
many hdraws all of her vessels the Pacific, JapanS
batteShpS and cruisers will be sent cut to and deSrOy
them so that British as well as Japanese merchant vessels
on the Pacific may maintain their schedules free from fear
of fnoeStaton. Sss

WAR EXPERTS SAY GERMANY
MUST CUT THROUGH BELGIUM

Military experts in Hawaii believe that Germanys hope
of success in the lies in cutting through Belgium to the
French frontier.
According to the experts, for nearly forty years the
French engineers among the abest in the world scientific
design have beenlaborng like beavers, constructing for-
cationS Of earth and STEEL even including great revolving
rrets like those of dreadnought that now practically
cover every mile OF the frontier between France and Ger
many and south of Belgium In the estimate of army eng
neerS these deenseS are nvnerabe except against an
army vastly onumberng the French forces behind the par
apetS and in the rifle pits.
The American axiom is that one soldier behind such de-
enses as the French have erected this frontier is equal
to four in the attacking army
This ratio OF effective defensive and offensive power
might he greatly reduced by systematic siege operations
but this would Involve the expenditure of that most pre-
cous factor in campaign me. Therefore the beginning
of the campaign in Belgium had been expected and the out
come is being waited with great interest.

CONCERNING CUBA.
Mrs. Wise-Children in these DAYS

There is no Cuban currency and
no paper money; United States cur
rency is taken as the basis. Customs
duties are also payable in foreign
gold coin converted in accordance
with the list of values issued by the
secretary of the treasury of the
United States. Spanish silver coins
circulating in the island are received
for customs purposes at the follow
ing fixed rates: Peso, 80 cents; me-
dio peso, 80 cents; poseta, IL cents;
real, 6 cents; medic real, 8 cents.
The metric is the legal system.
Some Spanish weights and measures
are still largely used, especially in
the retail trade, among them being
the arroba-25.366 pounds, and the
vara-33.384 inches. In some in
stances British units are also en-
plowed.

CHEERFUL NATURES

There are some natures so hap
PLY constituted that they can find
good in everything. There is no
calamity so great but they can re-
duce comfort or consolation from
it, no sky so black but they can
discover a CLEAN of sunshine issu-
ing through it from some quarter
or another, and if the sun is not
visible to their eyes they at least
comfort themselves with the thought
that it is there and rejecting its
rays on someone else. Such happy
natures ale to be envied. They
have beam In the eye-a beam OF
pleasure, gladness, religious cheer
fullness, philosophy or call it what
you will. Sunshine is in their
hearts and their mind gilds with its
own hues, all that it looks upon.
When they have burdens to bear
they bear them cheerfully-not re-
pining, nor fretting, nor wasting OF
energies in useless lamentations,
but struggling on manfully, gath
ering up such flowers as lie along
their path. 1t is these large and
comprehensive natures that are the
most trustful, and the quickest to
see the moral sunshine cleaning
through the darkest cloud. In pre-
sent evil they see prospective good;
in pain they recognize the effort OF
nature to restore health; in trials
they find correction and discipline,
and in sorrow and suffering they
gather courage and knowledge and
the best practical wisdom.

SNAKES SEEK WINTER HOME
Cold Weather Sent Them Back to
Abode Where They Had Met With
Affection and Warmth.

Consider now the snake, hated OF
mankind, and yet proved by Colo
RADIO professor to be possessed of af-
lection surprising that Of the house
cat or the pet dog. Here is the prop
osition: A professor at Greeley, max
ing a scientific study of snakes, al
ways had several reptiles, of varying
species, about his house In the sum-
mer he turned them out, to live as
they would, relates the Denver Re-
publican, but in the winter he gath
cred them in and housed and fed and
warmed them until spring. The
rattlers he rendered harmless by re-
moving their poison sacs and fangs,
but this dental work aroused not the
slightest of i'll feeling on the part of
any diamondback. On the contrary,
the rattlers were always ready to
revel in steam heat and all the other
comforts of a modern house.
But the professor has been called
to another institution. He turned
his snakes out, thinking that they
would go back to the wilds again
when they found that he was not
there to welcome them in the fall.
But evidently he knew not the way
of serpent on the front doorstep.
Today there are disconnected snakes
of every kind, including the ode
horned" rattlers, wandering around
the house once occupied by the pro-
fessor. They are waiting to be taken
in and warmed at the furnace when
the first fires of fall are lighted. But
more than all else, they show that
they are waiting for the sound of a
voice that is lost and hand that will
caress them no more. There is de-
lection in their attitudes, as they
hear only strange footsteps on the
walks.
Either the professor should come
back to Greeley to live or take his
affectionate snakes with him. Then
devotion will receive its just reward
and. besides, the house can be
rented

BE A MAN

Foolish spending is the father of
poverty. Do not be ashamed of
hard work. Work for the best
salaries or wages you can get, but
work for half price rather than be
idle. Be your own master, and do
not let society or fashion swallow
up your Observation-Disclosures, coat
and boots. Do not eat up or wear
out all you earn. Compel your
selfish body to spare something for
profits saved. Be stingy to your
own appetite, but merciful to others
necessities. Help others, and ask
no help for yourself. See that you
are proud. Let your pride be of
the right kind. Be too proud to
be lazy; too proud to give up with
out conquering every difficulty: too
proud to wear a coat you cannot
afford to buy; too proud to be in
company that you cannot keep up
with expenses; too proud to lie, or
steal, or cheat; too proud to be
stingy.
