His Revenge.

tician.
"These fellows" he went on, IN
stead of fighting for the people they
represent, act very much like Jones.
Jones sat in barroom one Satur-
day night with a party OF cronies,
when one of them, Billy Croft, was
called away by his wife. Billy rose
hurriedly, leaving his glass OF beer on
the table.
"A few minutes afterward Jones
little boy ran into the bar, crying:
"'Father, mothers bin a-jawin' with
Billys Crof.'s wife and Billy has hit
mother on the nose'
Zones jumped up, but then, on
second thought, he resumed his seat
and muttered, savagely:
"'The coward! Hit mother on the
nose, did he? Then I'll drink his
BEER"

THE WAR COMET.

Every great war in the worlds
history has had its comet, and the
present titanic conflict in Europe is
no exception. Paul T. Lelevan, an
astronomer, has the honor Of havin !.
Lis name attached to the freelance
OF the air of 1914. Although when
Delevan discovered his comet from
the observatory OF La Plata in the
Argentine Republic eight months ago,
there was no war ON the horizon. and
no sign of great trouble, the travel
ing body has been steadily growing
brighter. and il will become visible
to the naked eye very shortly, reach
ing its greatest brilliancy in the
course Of the present war.
Superstitious people might find
much in the beginning of the great
struggle to convince them that war is
sin. and that its makers are frown-
ed on by God. On August 10, Pope
Plus X. head of the Roman Catholic
Church died. the direct result of wor-
riment over the great slaughter. On
August 81 there was an eclipse of the
sun, total over a part of Russia and
other European territory where war
is raging. The coming of a great
comet might by the ignorant be con-
strued as an Omen
When Deleyan first saw the comet,
on December II. 1913, it was 37O.OO0.-
O00miles from sun, and was not very
clear even with the telescope At

THE PROTECTION OF THE PEACE.

The world assures itself quite CT
ficiently against disturbances of its
peace and order on a small scale If
man shouts and yells in front of your.
window, you can have him locked up
for disorderly conduct He may have
done no injury whatever, except pos
sibly to your feelings. But society
recognizes that as an interference
with the normal work of life, and
stops it.
But here the whole world is upset
by a quarrel over few bushy noun
tains away off in far Servia Every
one consequently has to pay higher
tax for flour, sugar, pork, beef, and
a hundred other articles.
1t is situation, on a far more
ominous scale, somewhat like that
of the anthracite coal strike of 1902.
At that time the comfort and health
of millions of people were attacked,
and industry and labor stopped, by
purely private quarrel. There seem
ed to be no legal way to stop it.
Finally public sentiment and the
national government found way to
end it.
The European war likewise shows
how the machinery of civilization has
broken down and proved obsolete
This war will end in due time, but
will the world have learned it's les
son? No readjustment of boundaries,
no payment of indemnities, can COM
pensate for the infinite damage done
to the whole world, by the destruc-
ton of commerce and the ordinary
machinery of toll, industry, and bust
ness.
SO while arrogant war lords and
heroic soldiers are locked in this bes-
tial tiger warfare, let it be. hoped
that the brains of the world is busy
on some plan for preventing recur-
renee of such a calamity. No war
like autocracy can long stand against
the voice of its people. If the Old
World must fight, let it do so, bu,
let it never again interfere with the
PEACEFUL traffic of neutral people
friendly to all the contending parties

nresent If Is about 22O,OO0,000 miles
from the sun, and may be seen WIN
opera glasses in the northeast part
of the sky, late at night, and early
in the morning. Scientists have said
that the Delevan comet will be visl-
HE with telescope for period
stretching over about six years.
1t will come nearest to the earth
in October, when it will be not more
than III 100000 miles from the orbit
of this globe.
Although the atmosphere in most
cities makes photography of the sky
extremely difficult, some excellent
results have been obtained in several
cities of the Unitd States by those
who attempted OF take pictures of the
new wanderer of the heavens.
The tail of Delevan's comet Is a
bushy one, and is about three degrees
in length. AS was predicted by the
discoverer, the comet has become one
of the bright" ones, visible to the
naked eye, as distinguished from the
telescope" comets never seen by I'M

comet now is not far from the con-

These late tidings are burdened

Russians Relentless,
Indications are that the allies by
swarming western Prussia with the
Russian hOrdes, which are harassing
the German strength in bitter and
relentless attacks with great success,
in the northern part of east Prussia
and in Galicia against the Austrians,
are beginning an attack upon the
German coast in concert with the
movement from the east in order to
divert the attention of Germany from

BRITAIN SMELLS
CONTRABAND LIST
United States Sure to Pro
test Many of the Add
tiOnal Articles.
OILS AND MOTOR
CARS IN NUMBER
New British Announcement In
cludes Fourteen More ClaSsifi-
cations than Old One.
From Tho Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Oct. 31.-Great Britain =
list Of absolute and conditional contra
band was received at the State Depart
ment this afternoon, and while no com
ment on it was forthcoming, there is
a strong probability that the United
States will object to the classification
of many articles on the list IS contra
band
II is also probable that this govern
ment will Ego 10 the mat with Great
Britain on the question OF examining
into the ultimate destination of con-
ditional contraband. Great Britain
holding that it has the right TO seize
shipments Of conditional contraband
should the cnemys country he sus-
pccted as the ultimate destination OF
these goods II was said at the state
Department that the question of ulti-
mate destination had never come up be
fore.
The articles enumerated in Great
Britain's new list of absolute contra
band are more numerous than the list
submitted at the beginning of the war
and are defined by the London conven-
ton. 1t includes twenty-siX classiii-
fourteen more than were contained IN
the original British notification.
Three of the articles added to the
absolute contraband were formerly
classed as conditional contraband by
the British government. These are
barbed wire and implements for fixing
same. motor vehicles and their parts,
and mineral oils and motor spirit, eX-
Cept lUbricating oils.
The addition of mineral oils to the
list of absolute contraband will have
q farreaching effect. if agreed TO by
this government, in that it would en-
able Great Britain to maintain that
il was within her rights in holding up
oil ships. The recent hold-up of Amer
lean oil ships was in main due to the
belief hat their cargo would eventual
~ reach Germany. Making illumnat-
ing oil absolute contraband, il was
held here, would give Great Britain
the necessary power to make the seiz-
ureS without contest.
United States Not Bound.
Legal experts around the State De-
partment maintain that while the re-
cent London convention recommends
lions nave been formally ratified by
the Senate the governments approval
has never been formally filed at The
Hague. The reason for this. it was
understood, was that this government
wanted to weigh them much more de-
liberately, to see just what effect they
would have upon this country, both in
peace time and when at war. These
legal experts declare that the recon-
Of the London convention
struck out the ultimate destination and
continuous voyage clauses as ground
for the holding up Of conditional con-
traband.
It was made plain at The State De-
partment to-day that this government,
in view Of it, duty to protect American
commerce, did not intend to bind itself
to any agreement which it believed
would have the effect of hampering it.
1t is not expected that any serious fric-
ton will arise, however, but it Is re-
garded as almost certain that disputes
stopped American ship
ments will crop up from time to time.
