and France. Sir George Buchanan'
British ambassador, telegraphed on
this date from St. Petersburg to Sir
Edward Grey in part as follows:
Disclaims Russian Aggression.
ION my expressing the earnest
hope that Russia would not preclpl-
tate war by mobilizing until you nao
had time to use your influence IN
favor of peace, his Excellency (the
Russian foreign minister) assured
me that Russia had no aggressive in
tentions. and she would take no ac-
ton until it was forced on her. Aus
t-ia's action was in reality directed
AGAINST Russia. She aimed at over
throwing the present status quo IN
the Balkans, and establishing ner
own hegemony there.
"He did not believe that Germany
really wanted war. but her attitude
was dec:' ID by ours. If we took our
stand firmly with France and Russia
there would be no war. If we fal1eo
them now. rivers of blood wculd ho"'
and we would in the end be dragged
into war.
II said that England could play
the role of mediator at Berlin and
Vienna to better purpose as friend
who. if her counsels Of moderation
were disregarded, might one day be
converted into an ally. than if she
were to declare herself Russia's ally
at once. His Excellency said thai
unfortunately Germany was conVlnc
ed that she could count upon ou
neutrality.

IN ALABAMA SANCTUMS

tom instituted by the late Major Screws of having a column of extracts each day (good, bad and indifferent from the weekly papers of Alabama. It Is regaling it's readers with the productions of bigger writers. The Birmingham Age-Herald, the Mobile Register and Montgomery Journal are the daiies that are now de- voting attention to the country editors. and it is interesting to note the change of sentiment in favor of those papers in the newspaper offices in Alabama. Which goes to show that editors, like most other mortals, like to be noticed by those higher up." And it is not only the edi- tors of the weekly papers that like to be noticed, but there are others. For in stance: Some days since We read an ed- torial in one of the most widely circulated papers in the United States which we thought particularly fine, and we so wrote the editor. He immediately replied, ex- pressing his high appreciation of the commendation. Wake, up grandma. Don't go to slep on the job.

THE MEDAL OF HONOR

From the Chicago Tribune
 Americans of average information know about the Victoria Cross, the Iron Cross, the Cross of the Legion of Honor. These arc rewards of heroism which would mark a man above his fellows even in this for eign land
 But how many Americans know what medal of honor is?
 How many Americans know that the modest American soldiers who wear the medal of honor wears a decoration that is among the rarest and most difficult to win among military honors?
 The Cross of the Legion of Honor, es- tahlisfe by Napoleon in 1892, and while founded to signalize deeds of special dar- ing in war, was after fiven freely for civil distinctions Nearly 10000 German SOL diers were decorated with the Iron Cross in the seven months of the Franco-P Prus- sian war while in the more than half cen- tury since the creation of our honor roll only BOSS have been granted and of these nearly 90O were given under a ristaken reading of the law.
 The holder of the medal of honor must nave distinguished himself conspicuous ly by gallantry and ntrepidity. at the risk of his life, beyond the call of duty" This standard, which bars out action, however brave in the course of duty and includes only acts of daring which a man might refuse avoid without re- buke, is said to be uneulialed.

-.s-------------- EASY SPINDLE IN INDIAN

From the New York Sun. About the rawest roast on the reu. bens that I know of" said a Bleecker street wholesale clothing drummer. "l ran across in Indiana not long ago and Indiana is a state where educa- ton simply grows on the trees. about 1500 population, and I have one good customer there. which is an in-
 dication of intelligence.
 Well. into this town about a month bSfore l arrived on the scene and heard the sad tale a man from Chicago ap- peared with trunk full of suit pat terms for men and went around town selling them at s2 a pattern, a price that caught the reubens in great shape
 and the man sold out in day. He told each purchaser that the firms repre- sentative who took measures would come along in day or two and for
 30 cents apiece would take their meas
 ures and carry the cloth along to be
 made up by the firm in the latest lcity styles for g suit. making the
 entire cost only s450
 Tt was a cinch and no mistake. and
 even if the measuring man never showed up they had the patterns. But
 the man showed up and took the meas
 ures for 50 cents each and the s2 for
 making. He also took the cloth away
 with him to be made up and that was
 the last seen of the clothing combina
 ton.
 Tt looks too easy to be true, doesn't 1t? But it isn't, and the funny part of
 these swindles is that the easier they are the less trouble they are to work
 off"

A Successful Monarch

Although differences marred the last few months of his reign, due to his desire to get into the present Eu~ ropean war on the side of Germany and Austria Hungary, the late King Charles of Roumania was an effi- cient monarch who amply justified the wisdom of the Roumanians in inviting him to becoRe their ruler. It was a fortunate day for Roumania when the young German prince sailed down the Danube, jumped ashore on Roumanian territory May 20, 1866, and made his way to the palace of Bucharest, where he was proclaimed prince May 23.
 Although a German and a member of the proud family of Hohenzollern who had come to rule over a Latin race, Prince Charles sincerely wished to be real leader of his adopted peo- pie. There were countless obstacles to be overcome at first. He was home sick and beset with difficulties that would have daunted a less resolute man. At the time he assumed the reins of government the country was struggling with a new constitution which gave the people unaccustomed liberty. He frankly avowed his de- termination to establish among them German ideas of civilization and gov ernment. With great energy and pa- tience he worked for the best interests of Roumania and in short while had wo- the hearts of the people.
 Prince Charles stood firmly for neu- trality in 1876 when the question of taking part in the Turko- Russian war was discussed. However, when the Russians were about to be over whelmed at Plevna Prince Charles led his troops to battle and defeated the Turks. Four years later the Rou- manian people gave him crown made out of cannon he had captured at Plevna. With the consent of the low- CTS he was crowned King of Rou- mania in 1881 During his long reign he did much to promote the growth and prosperity of Roumania, which soon became a leader among the Bal kan states. Its people thrived under humane and enlightened govern ment, which had only one blot-re- ported persecution of the Jews.
 King Charles married Princess Elizabeth of Wied in 1869. She is greatly beloved among her people for her charitable works and has won worldwide fame as a poet under the pseudonym of Carmen Sylva.

JAPAN's IDEA OF US
From the Omaha Bee.

From the Omana See.
 A professor in the University of Tokio has recently been quoted by newspapers in New York, where he visited, as saying that certain inter- ests have persistently and systemat- ically tried to create the impression in Japan that the people of the United States hold the Japanese in contempt and that they are in no sense friends We have had evidence in this country that. if such perfidious influences were at work they have not been entirely unsuccessful, for frequent reports of anti-American demonstrations in Ja- pan have come to us. It must be ad- mitted, however, that the enlightened view of Americans in Japan is not this.
 So far as the United States is con cerned, it has been, as a rule, gener- ous in it's treatment of the Japanese, and is now. as a result of the Euro pean war, about to enter upon more in- innate relations through the open door of commerce. With the great trading nations of Europe engaged in war we shall be called on for large measure of the commerce which they have here tofore supplied. Our merchants and manufacturers will undoubtedly make the most of their special opportunity of impressing Japan with both the friendship of the United States as well as the mutual advantage of their traA4.

Not Discouraged

our oil well on Democrat Ridge has been run down 2S0O feet" said Elwell Eastman yesterday MT. Eastman, with F. s. Finch and other well known min eralogists and business men of Bir- mingham is interested in a company which is drilling into what geologists call the Knox dolomite of the Se- quatchie anticline, an anticline which runs through north Alabama and up into Tennessee and is said to be the largest rock formation of its kind in the world.
 At that depth," said Mir. Eastman n, an oil of the Pennsylvania grade was in evidence. evidently coming from thse Knox dolomite below an oil bearing rock, as the drill hole above was dry and odorless.. We were jubilant, believ- ing the well would soon be in activity. discharging large amounts of oil Un- fortunately, however, a serious accident to the machinery was met with, cost ing large amount of money and at about the same time the water gave out the heavy rains set in.
 The well is located on what geolog- ists call an anticlinal axis, or the ridge of an anticline rock formation. We have not a doubt but what there is oil where we are drilling and we are far from discouraged. We have simply been delayed for time and eventually we are going to develop an oil field that will startle not only Birmingham but the whole country"

New Directorship Policy

President Fairfax Harrison of the Southern railway is doing many things to popularize his line and to raise the standard of efficiency in all depart ments of the company. He has striven earnestly to establish and maintain cordial relations between the employees and the higher officials; to create helpful esprit de corps.
 MT. Harrison is a great believer in publicity and is proverbially frank with the public; and one of his latest and best policies was developed at the annual stockholders meeting held at Richmond yesterday when university president and a Methodist bishop and two representative southern business men were added to the board of direc- tors. Dr. Edwin Alderman, president of the University of Virginia, and Dr. John c. Kilgo of Durham, N. C., a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, in company with Robert Jemison of Birmingham and John Kerr Branch of Richmond, will have voice in the general conduct of the Southern along with the older direc- tors. It was wise move.
 All bishops are good business men. No one is ever chosen a Methodist bishop unless he is known to possess large chunks of worldly wisdom as we'll as religious fervor. Bishop Kilgo has the reputation of being an excep- tionally able man of affairs. When pr. Alderman was called to the presi- dency of the University of Virginia that historic institution was going through crucial period. It was not prospering as in years gone by. Alder man infused new life into it and his administration has been eminently successful. The time was when pro- fessional educator would have been considered ludicrously out of place in railroad directorate. The business world held the college president in high esteem, of course, but did not regard him as business man in the strict sense of the term. It is very different today. Many of the uni versailles of this country have for their administrative heads men who are capable of filling with distinction high political office-the highest, like that filled by Woodrow Wilson. formerly president of Princeton; men capable of administering the affairs of bank or of managing any big business enterprise.
 The Southern railways board will be all the stronger by reason of the new members chosen at yesterdays meeting.

ELECTRIC FANS FOR HORSES

From the Scientific American
 Believing that horses, like human beings, can do better days work aft CT good nights rest, the Utah Light and Railway company has taken steps to rid its stables of flies and to pro- vide better ventilation. Accordingly. in one stable where D or 40 horses are kept, two 56-inch four blade ceiling fans have been installed, and two 15- inch blowers. These are set in opera tion on warm nights in order to make the stable more comfortable They also serve to keep the flies from pestering the horses, and, in order to keep the flies out of the stable, the windows and doors are screened. The horses are used by the company to supplement it's cleo tric truck and motor cycle service. The running expense of the electric service is less than 40 cents per month per horse and is repaid many times over in the greater efficiency of the animals,

 The essentials Of every circus, no mat ter how modern 1t may be. include saw dust, bareback riding. the t-ypeze and the elephant. But these attractions are now only among the few. Our ballet is a gorgeous affair. and the incidental music by the concert band is really worth to all music lovers the price of admission.
 Tt costs Ringing Bros ss00o day to give their big show. In city the size oe Birmingham our receipts run from s1o.000 to s12,000 day. We purchase supplies in every town in which we ap- pear. and our purchases are larger in commercial centers like Birmingham. We will spend about s26oo here"

Some Circu. Esscntials

Occasionally I run across an old-tmer who complains that the modern circus does not appeal to him as did the one ring circus of quarter of a century ago." said E. P. Norwood of the Ringing Bros greatest shows" who has been here several days looking after certain details in connection with next Fridays performance.
 q am hardly old cough to recall the circus of former period, but mahy peo- ple connected with our organization were employed in one-ring shows. There have been many innovations within the past few years The circus is now a combina- tor of the usual ring performance, vaude- vile theatre and the high-class concert. Music, by the way, is one of our strong features. We have a concert band of about 30 men under the directorship of J. J. Richards. Fine programmes are rem dered in the main ring before the after noon and night performances. The old one-ring circus usually carried band of 10 pieces. never more than 12. In the pa rade we have six bands, making up a total of about % musical performers. But the concert band Is composed of selected

The Next Congress

The democratic party is much stronger today on the eve of con- gressional election than party usual ly is in the middle of presidential term.
 With the exceptionally large ma jority which the democrats had in be- ginning the Sixty-third Congress it might have been expected that they would have made many mistakes and passed many unpopular measures; but the democrats in the House have made fine record.
 Of course not every bill that passes satisfies everybody, but the President and Congress have come nearer win ming the appreciation of the public than even democrats themselves pre- dicted year ago would be the case. Those who were strongly opposed to the administration at the start now speak With cordial praise of MT. Will son, and if the democrats had done nothing more than pass the Under wood tariff bill and the banking and currency bill they would have been entitled to and would have received the indorsement of a majority of the thinking people of the United States.
 The republicans are attacking the democratic policies. Especially do they accuse the democrats of extraya- gance in appropriation but the demo- crats have practiced rigid economy compared with the republican Con- gresses that have gone before. The democrats will have sweeping yic- tory in November.
