our forces and two divisions and half

submit to ''the attacks of the United States"

about four weeks after hostility began be-

Of troops at different points simultaneously.
Then, "by interrupting their communica-

to reliable dispatches from Berlin, there is
less suffering from want among the poor
there, because of the war, than there is in
the United States. - The Irish nationa-

hind which stands the millions OF the British
race" - When the big German shells
hit the river, in the bombardment Of Ant
werp, they sent geysers of mud and water
exactly resembling the geysers in Yellow

COTTON GROWERS must look to
other sources than the government to get
them over the present crisis, produced by
the lack Of exports to Europe of the cotton
crop. The president has refused to indorse
the plan to issue s5OO,OOO,0O0 in federal
notes to be loaned to planters, but approves
the efforts being made by the banks to or
game pool of SIS 100000 for the purpose
of buying up the cotton crop at present

THE AMERICAN BAR association,
meeting in Washington this week, has list
ened to the foremost lawyers of the country.
All are agreed that law-making and courts
of Justice are far from what they should be-
Senator Elihu Root declared that too many
laws were made. In the five years from
1909 to 1918, no less than 62014 statutes
were created. He said: "Many Of these
statutes are drawn carelessly and ignorantly
Their terms are SO vague, uncertain, doubt
full that they breed litigation inevitably
All the mass Of ill-considered, badly drawn,
experimental, first impression legislation
with which the country is flooded from year
to year causes innumerable litigations. New
questions are created faster than the courts
can decide old ones"

HIGH LIGHTS:

In the last thirty years, the population of
Russia has increased fifty millions-in the
last twenty years it has increased as much
as the total population of France. - Over
two hundred thousand Y M. c. A. members
are in the armies of Europe - It is esti-
mated that ten million people have been rem
dered homeless by the war in northern and
northeastern France. - A large building
in London, devoted to the needs Of women
and children refugees, is known as, "The
House of a Thousand Sorrows" - In
Belgium, the situation grows worse and
worse among the peasants. Most of them
have not the energy to move to try to get
help. They sit dumb, dazed, by the road
sides, or over the ruins of their homes, OF
wander about in the woods near the sites of
their old homes. Many of these miserable
people, innocent victims of a war they do
not understand, have already died. -
Half a year of war at the present tension
equals twenty years expenditures in peace
times-this in money alone - According
