THE GREED UF
''D THE COUNTRY

Rural life is coming into its own
and country life is beginning to be
appreciated again after several de-
cades of disfavor and neglect. The
following creed, which is being ad-
orted as the slogan of various boys
and eirls' club throughout the rural
sections of the United States, shows
that the thought life of the country
Is being directed into its natural
channels:
T. believe that country whicheGod
made is more beautiful than the
c;tv which man made; that life out
=; ,iors and in touch with the
earth as the natural life of man. |
believe that work is work where
ever I find it, but that work with
nature is more inspiring than work
with the most intricate machinery
believe that the dignity OF labor
depends not only upon what you
do hut on how you do it; that op'
ncrtunity comes to a boy on a farm
as often as to a boy in the city
ond that life is larger and freer ant
bonn;er IN the farm than in tn
town"

War Taxes on Beer and Wine.

Denver.-The Denver internal rev.
enue district will contribute approx
mately 100000 in additional taxes on
beer and wines under the provisions
of the war revenue bill recently
passed by Congress. Collector Mark
Skinner has been engaged for several
days in preparing for the sale of rev.
enue stamps and a large number have
been disposed of, as the law went in
to effect Oct. 90, the date of passage,
by virtue of the emergency clause.
This extra 100000 a year will be
only a part of the revenue the Den
yer district will pay into Uncle Sans
treasury to help relieve the govern
ment's financial difficulties created by
the war. 1t is impossible to estimate
the total yearly additional tax at this
time, said Collector Skinner.

Gated that votes for women had been

seven states voting on the question in

indicated defeat of the franchise to
women in all seven states concerned.
Montana and Nevada, according to
the latest returns, granted votes to
women. Returns in Nebraska on the
woman suffrage amendment are still
far from complete, but those compiled
thus far indicate that it is defeated
by 5000 or more. Suffragists made
an extraordinary campaign in this
state and were opposed by anti-suf-

London, Nov. 5.-Japan is rushing

control of the South American Pacific
coast from the Germans, which was
won by the Kaisers warships by. de-
feating a squadron of three British
cruisers off the coast of Chile Sun
day.

at Valparaiso reports having seen
eight Japanese warships at Easter is
land in the Pacific about 1890 miles
west of the Chilean coast. Easter is
land belongs to Chile.
The Times reports that the Ger
man cruiser Koenigsberg has been put
out of action in the Indian ocean. The
Koenigsberg is protected cruiser of
3,34S tons.
Vancouver and the other seaports
on the Canadian Pacific coast are re-
ported to be in terror of bombardment
from the victorious German fleet.
The victory of the German squadron
places new aspect on the naval stu
alton in the Pacific. s.
For the present, at least, it def
nitely shifts command of southern wa
ters to the Germans, and until there
has been a readjustment of forces,
will make itself felt in the movement
OF all cargoes between the Pacific
coast and Europe.
Which way the Germans will elect
to turn next is purest speculation, but
they are free to move northward to-
ward Canada.
The engagement accounts for all
German warships at large in the Pa
cific and east of Suez except the EN-
den, whose repeated raids on British
commerce in the Indian ocean have
been so costly.
According to German accounts,
their armored cruisers Scharnhorst
Nurnberg, Leipzig and Bremen es-
capped unscathed, while the British
cruiser Monmouth was sunk, the crui.
ser Good Hope put out of action and
the cruiser Glasgow, with the trans
port Otranto, sent scurrying for shell
ter in the neutral port of Talcahuano
where they are bottled up by the Leip-
| zig and Bremen.
A comparison of the strength Of the
British and German vessels shows that
the total British tonnage was 2S,720
and the German 32,636.
The Monmouth was built in 1900,
the Good Hope in 1898 and the Glas-
gov, the newest of the British ships,
in 1905.

Ottoman Government Offers to
Apologize for Attack onRus-
sia---Germany Urges
Her to Fight.
GAIN FOR ALLIES
kaiser's Forces Blocked and Forced
to Give Some Ground in Northern
France, According to Official
Dispatches.
(SNmMa1y of Events.)

Turkish battle cruisers bonn
barded two Russian Black sea ports,
damaging property considerably,
and sank two or three small Rus
sian vessels, a few days ago.
The Turkish ships, recently bought
from Germany, were commanded
by German officers.
This attack on Russia and this
undeclared entry into the great
European conflict caused Russia,
France, England, Italy and Greece
to prepare at once to clean Turkey
off the European map. Seeing the
handwriting on the wall, Turkey
now offers to apologize for the
attack.
Russia and her allies answer that
an apology might be arranged if
Turkey will pay for damage done,
remove the German officers from
the warships that made the attacks
and dismantle these vessels until
after the war. To this proposition
Turkey has not yet replied.
1t appears that Turkeys fate
hangs in the balance. Germany
wants her to remain in the fight,
and as a moral bracer has deposited
five million dollars to Turkeys
credit in the Turkish Imperial bank.
The Russian, British and French
ambassadors and consular repre-
sentatives have quit Constantinople.
Comes as No Surprise.
Turkeys entry into the war is not a
surprise. Ever since hostilities start
ed reports have come of the mobiliza-
ton of the sultan's army. Always they
have been denied.
German officers have been drilling
the Ottoman soldiers for several
months. For several years it has been
known that the kaiser was aiding the
sultan in his military preparations.
The German military system was drill
ed into the Turkish soldiers and in the
later Balkan war the German hand
could be recognized in the movements
of the Turkish army.
British Warned Turkey.
1t has been said that Germany sup
piled the Ottoman government with
large sums of money. Great Britain
warned Turkey to keep off, and recent
advices from Constantinople indicated
that Turkey intended to maintain her
neutrality.
Under stress of pursuit by British
warships, the German cruisers Goeben
and Breslau early in the war took
refuge at Constantinople. They were
purchased by Turkey, but the German
officers and crews were retained.
Later they sailed forth, and a warning
was issued by Russia that should the
Russian warships meet these two
cruisers they would open fire.
The former German warships have
proved a cause of irritation through
out the last few weeks to the Allies,
and Great Britain asked the Ottoman
government to remove the Germans
from the vessels, but Turkey replied
that this was a domestic question.
Means New Balkan War.
Meanwhile Turkey has been under
surveillance by the Allies. It's action
