Russia Modified Without a Hitch;
Moved 900 Troop Trains on Schedule

London, Sept 2.-The mobilization
of the Russian army will be a model
for the rest of the world, according to
Capt. Barclay H. Warburton, of Wyn-
cote Pa, who left St. Petersburg
week ago and arrived in London to-
day.
The Russian mobilization worked
like clock" said Capt. Warburton "A
friend coming from the Crimea to st.
Petersburg the first days of the war
counted 900 troop trains moving on
schedule. The Russian soldiers were

try in their capacity quite as much as
it is the workingman's duty to serve in
the ranks" Let the millionaires, he
suggests, raise money, and then Eng
land would quickly have an enormous
number of men, meeting all require
ments."
Sir Hiram says that men who enlist
should have at least five shillings a
day and should be entitled to pensions.
He predicts that if England makes the
right use of wealth she can have an
army of 100000 men in the filed in 40
days.

Neutrality Violated at White House
Between the French and Germans

New York, Sept. "A Washington
dispatch to the Herald says:
"The wars in Europe provided the
subject of a heated argument recently
between the footman of Mr. J. J. JUS
sedand, Ambassador of France, and
the messenger of Count J. H. Won Bern
storiff, Ambassador of Germany. Be-
sides, the encounter took place in the
front yard of the White House, which
if the recent promlamation of the Pres
ident of the United States is fully con-
sidered, is the last word in neutral ter
ritory.
MIR. Jusserand went to the White
House to see the President. The car

'The messages, however, should be

London, Sept. 2.-Field Marshall
Methuen, in addressing a recruiting
meeting at Devise last night, said no
body grumbled at the German emper-

empire, but that Emperor William
wished to make Germany the one en-

were no cases of drunkness among
them as a result of the ukase stopping
the vodka traffic. The Red Cross, which
the empress is looking after, was on 4
par with the army.
"St. Petersburg was as quiet as Phil
adelphia on Sunday. Life was going
on as usual, except for the early clos
ing of the theaters. The banks were
paying out money freely, and food was
even cheaper than before the war. The
quiet air of confidence among the peo-

England Can Raise Million Men
By Wise Use of Money, Says Maxim

London, Sept. Citing the system
used in the American civil war, when
men drafted had to serve as soldiers

writing in the Standard, suggests
something similar for England.
He says that Great Britain and Ire
land have a population Of 100000 A

it is not an easy matter for them to
leave families without support.

Kitchener Warns England Not to

LOWER LEVELS
 IN THE MARKET

NEW YORK, Jan.. 2.-The first de of the New Year on the stock ex. change was devoid on the surface of more than passing significance Price changes were in the main unimport. ant, though with a higher tendency. In the final hour the selling move. ment was moderate, but it wiped out most of the early gains, sending the general level under that of wednes- days close.
 Domestic adyices were favorable for the most part, except in steel and iron. The interesting event of the day, in it's general application to h. nFneial. and political conditions, was the announcement of the banking house of J. P. Morgan X Company that they had retired from numerous directorates with which they have been long associated, coupled with the intimation that further withdraw. as, would be announced from time to thne. This gave rise to much sur mise and conjecture, but had no in. fldence upon the stock market.
 Harope's markets seemed in less easy state than our own, with psrti. 9ilar weakhess in Paris. Foreign selling in the New York market was chiefly of Canadian Pacific. Steel and the. coppers. A rise in eau money tp ten per cent served asa reminder that local monetary conditions leave something to be desired There was some hardening fef time .-lponey in the longer msturities reported.

Eat Before WorkIna.

However practicable it may be for
the stalwart farmer to rear himself
out of bed in the cold, gray dawn-or
even beforehand do half a days
work before he comes back to the
farmhouse for breakfast, experiment
seems to show pretty c~onclusively that
it is almost useless to attempt to do
any work that calls for the exercise OF
the reasoning processes of the mind
before the morning sacrifice to the
stomach. Particularly is this the case
with children and yet how often do
we see the little ones urged TO get. up
and study in the morning before break
fast, or at least permitted to lay aside
some of the home work in the eve
ming on the plea that they can do it
in the morning" Some may be able
to do it; but it is safe to say that 80
per cent cannot, o r is it right to
ask them to try.

The day is approaching when sea
going submarines Of high surface
speed will accompany the main fleet
on the high seas. Large vessels of
this type, of II knots speed, have
been designed for the United States
navy. Great Britain is building, in
the Nautilus. the largest submarine in
existence, which is intended to be as
seaworthy while on the surface as the
latest type Of destroyer. It's surface
speed will be not less than 81 knots,
and 1t will have a submerged speed
OF from 10 to 16 knots; 1t will carry
six torpedo tubes, and the surface dis
placement will be about one thousand
five hundred tons.
