the Balkans shows no record of the ap- paratus getting out of order.
 Then. too. the French fire indirect ly, protected by hill. for instance. The German gunners see the object they are aiming at and are exposed themselves.
 The officer in charge of the men handling a gun, six Tn number for the 75 mm., takes his place with his field glasses on a hill or other high place and locates the enemy. He calls out the direction and distance.
 Just before the shell reaches the breech preparatory to firing the cor rect distance Is punched through fig ures stamped on the rim. The marks cause the mechanism automatically to aim the gun. The gun fire does not strike in the ranks of the enemy but is aimed above them. The shell Is timed so that it bursts 45 feet from the ground and releases a shower of small bullets which plunge downward So rapidly are the shells sent that the enemy cannot retreat or disperse. The gun is constructed so that in firing 1t moves sidewise automatically to the right or left little after each shot. thus covering possibly a quarter or a mile of an enemys frontage There are 6C00 of these terrible weapons to a million French troops.
 The secret of this gun Is carefully guarded. Whenever abandoned on the field It's crew destroys it by removing a small key The gun drops apart in such a manner that it's secret cannot be solved

 The 1s dogs driven by the winner are a cross between the Siberian wolf and the Malamute. or Eskimo working dog. AL Ian. who ran second, drove IS Malamutes. and Aver. the third man. 14 foxhounds. Johnson's team proved to have all the in- telligence of the Malamutes. and more stamina, tho Maiamutes having been bred longer in captivity.
 This dog-team race is. not for weddings. but 1t is no more cruel than Marathon. The men and dogs are running in a cli- mate to which they are accustomed. The men run IS fast as the dogs and almost as far, for they take the sleds only when the teams are making too much speed. Everyone in the race Is fit for 1t. for the training continues from year to year.
 One of the rules-indeed the very es- sence of the contest-is that every dog which makes the start must come back dead or alive.

efforts to leave for London even although it is necessary to desert home and profes- sion to do so. It Is not TOO much to say that if extensive rioting once begins, no woman or young girl will be safe for a moment in the French capital.
 The declaration of war with Germany lad wonderfully sobering effect upon the English people. Although the vast majority of them do not as yet ralize to even a small degree what actual war fare means, the financial crisis which is already bad enough, but which is bound to. STOW steadily worse, has taken most of the enthusiasm out of the man in the street. Those who remember the wild burst of enthusiasm that greeted the declaration of war against the Boers 15 years ago were astonished by the al- most entire absence of anything like it when news of the final ru 1ture with Ger many was announced.
 Of course there has Seen some maf- ficl-ing in the streets, especially in the West End of London. Irresponsible youths, supported by French walters, and others, march about the streets car rying French flags and Union Jacks The mrsic hall orchestras constantly play the French and British national anthems and make frequent use of the Union Jack and t'ere are isolated cases of demonstra-

.tions against German residents and Ger
 man firms. But it is very evident that
 not only the authorities, but the people in general realize that they have a task
 ahead which will tax their utmost re- sources to accomplish.
 A remarkable circumstance Is the ab- sence Of any real hatred of Germany and the Germans. Of course. as the war
 drags on and British soldiers and sailors
 are killed by Germans this hatred will develop. But up to the time when the
 Germans violated Belgian neutrality and so forced England to take up arms, the opinion of seven out of every 10 men
 in the street was against interference on
 the part of Great Britain. Practically
 every liberal newspaper in England urged
 the government to remain neutral and it is certain that if the Kaiser had been willing to keep out of Belgium and Hol-
 land and away from the channel not even the more belligerent of the unonisi papers would have been able to rush the government into war

Austria Hungary would be too weak to stand alone. especially with a tri- umphant Russian on their flank, and would inevitably gravitate toward Ger many. So whichever way the struggle goes Germany stands chance of win ing an enormous stake. Any war in- demnity she might be called upon to pay in the event of a dead defeat would not be too heavy a price for the union of the German estates Of central Flu rope. And so remarkable must be the
 recuDerative powers of a country like
 Germany and a people like Germans that it is impossible to figure on any
 blow being heavy enough to cripple the country for more than one or two decades

 French Fire Indirectly
 
nr GroRGE nurRrsNr

Paris. August Especial l-The French are depending on their artil- lery to overthrow the Germans more than any other arm of the service. They believe the Creusot is immensely su- perior to the Krupp gun, a duplicate of which is used In the United States army.
 In speed of fire the difference Is im- pressive. The Creusot will throw 30 shells minute to the Krupp's 12 This Is because the German shell is thrust into the breach by hand and the French operation Is almost mechanical. The Creusot shell is laid in a wide steel slide behind the breech and, after fir ing, the ejector throws the shell well clear of the gun
 Moreover the creusot. 75 mm., does not "unpoint" itself even when worked at nigh speed. The krupp pivots on q center directly over the axle. The lint of the train and the line of recoil arc different, except when shooting straigh ahead. So after six rounds the Krupr must be resighted.
 The Creusot pivots on the "spade' that part of the trail which touch es the ground and resighting is unneces sary. The gun buries itself more firm ly as 1t is fired

U. s. RESERVE BANKS
WILL OPEN NOV. 16
New Currency System to BE Put
in Actual Operation
Then.
BANKERS IN CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON. Oct 2o.-Monday, No
vember i6. IL the date set for the open
Ing Of the Federal reserve banks. Secre-
tary McAdoo announced to-day that tho
new currency system would be put In
operation on that date.
The announcement was enthusla sticaliy
received by tho directors and officers of
the reserve banks, who had been invited
to Washington for their first general con-
ference with the Federal Reserve Board.
Mr. McAdoo does not expect that the
reserve banks will be ready to undertake
all OF their functions under the new
system on November 10, but they will be
able 10 make substantial start
Eighty-one directors and officers Of the
Federal reserve banks attended the con-
ference with the Reserve Board Tho eight
members OF the advisory committee OF
experts, who have submitted a plan OF
preliminary organization, also Joined in
the meeting
The conference was held In the rooms
OF the Comptroller of the Currency. Sec
rotary McAdoo presiding.
Mr.. MCAdoo In his address Of welcome
emphasized the Importance of developing
enthusiasm for their work, first be-
cause 1t involved many new and difficult
problems and second because the country
expected much from the new system
After setting November 10 az tho day
of opening Mr.. McAdoo said that nc
elaborate system was to be expected
at the opening but It would be ncccs-
sary to prepare TO receive reserve de-
posits from the banks and to have IN.
rediscount machinery ready for such part
Of the reserve az would be paid in by
the banks.
In view OF the great public demand
for early opening II had been thought
desirable that oommittees with represen-
tation from each bank should consider
the various problems and II possible
reach conclusions which they would sub
init to this conference at a subsequent
session: and that after the approval by
the conference of these reports uniform
action might be suggested by the board
10 the several banks
The governor of the Federal Reserve
Board then said that the board did not
want in any way 70 PREJUDICE the findings
or the conclusions OF the reserve banks
I'm matters which were under their own
Initiative, but at the same time Il very
much desired to give them the advantage

time and to bring about ultimate uni
formity.

TWO MORE BILLS TO
AID MONEY SITUATION
Extension Of Loan Limits by
Changing Reserve Act Is
Proposed.
MEASURE TO HELP COTTON

WASHINGTON, Oct 2o.--1mportant legis-
lation designed to improve the financial
and commercial situation brought on by
tho war IL proposed in two bills reported
TO the House to-day by the Committee on
Rules.
one OF the bills provides for important
changes in the Federal reserve act call
culated to relieve the money situation.
The other bill provides for Federal IN
spectlon of cotton and grain warehouses,
thus giving receipts which are issued upon
such products a negotiable status in banks
of national currency associations that they
do not now possess
The bill proposing changes in tho Fed
eral reserve act also provides for the
issuance of 1850, 600 900 in currency or an
issue OF S2iO,O00.OOO of Panama Canal
bonds, the proceeds of which are to be
used IN relieving the situation In the
South.
This was included In tho measure be-
cause Representative Henry and his fol.
lowers would have fought to tie up the
other legislation which IL desired by the
Administration unless the cotton bond
or currency Issue plan was laid before the
House for a vote. The President and tho
secretary OF the Treasury are against Il,
anu IL Will proOaD4y be defeated.
Tho two bills were reported to tho
Rouse under gag rule devised by the
Committee on Rules. This rule was re-
ported immediately after the action Of
the House in sending tho war revenue
bill to conference. Tho rule was de-
Dated for brief time and then point
OF no quorum was made by Representa-
tive Buckley OF Ohio. a Democrat. who
Is opposed to Federal AID for the cotton
planters.
Mr.. Buckley's point, made enrly In the
afternoon. resulted IN the House being
held up until late in the day When a
quorum was obtained the House pro-
ceeded to discussion Of the rule. This
discussion over, Representative Glass OF
Virginia an opponent OF the cotton cur
rency proposal. made another point OF

The House thereupon adjourned until
tomorrow when Il Is expected the finish
ing touches will be put on the revenue

act.
