DAYS DEVELOPMENTS : IN E InOPEAN WAR

The grand vizer of Turkey has apologized on behalf of his govern ment for the warlike operations of the Turkish fleet under German con- manders in the Black sea, but it is said authoritatively this afternoon that the Porte will have to go very much further before the powers of the Triple Entente will agree to re- sume friendly relations with the Otto- man government.
 Although Turkey seems to desire to back down from her position as bellig- erent against Russia, the powers com prising the Triple Entente Great Britain, France and Russia-have not accepted an apology offered by the grand vizier for the attack made on Russian ships in the Black sea by the Turkish warships. An official state ment issued by the French govern ment indicates that the allies are hold ing aloof from settling the controversy until Turkey agrees to their stipula- tions that the German officers in Tur- keys employ be discharged. The Turks have agreed to withdraw their fleet from the Black sea, but as yet have failed to acquiesce in the demand for the dismissal of the German off, |cers. An official communication from Vienna says the Turks and the Rus sians are in battle near Trebizond, Ia Turkish port on the Black sea, while another declares that the Turks have seized Russian steamer at Constan- tinople. The Servian minister, follow ing the example of the British, French and Russian representatives, is leav- ing Constantinople.
 The British adm y announces that the entire North a has been de- clared military area and that ves- sells plying it's waters will be in grave danger from mines unless they obey rules laid down by the admiralty. These mines were laid, according to the admiralty, to offset a similar ac- tion of the Germans to the north of Ireland
 A news agency dispatch says the Germans have placed big guns on Bor- kum Island in the North sea.
 The German cruiser Karlsruhe has captured three additional British steamers in the south Atlantic

LEADERS ARE MEN OF ACTION
Having an Idea, They Have Impressed lt on Their Fellows and the
 World Has Moved.

The nations are a series of short experiments. A nation may disin- tegrate inside of century It may flower inside of 30 years. It would be possible that a middle-western town like Cedar Rapids should tomorrow begin to put forth a group of heroes, who should overrun the earth with the charm and vigor of their ideas. A sudden quickening. mind catching flame from mind, and once again you would have the miracle of Plato's Athens, of Elizabeth's London.
 If row and again some man had not decided to stop drifting and take hold of things and reshape them, there would have been no discovery, no invention, no art. He might have said, as many like to say: Why not let my big idea rest quietly? There is time enough in the long future Why be in a hurry? Why SO hot, lit- tie man? There Is quiet sleep in the churchyard for the men that have gone before, and soon I too will be there." But, prevailing, he said:
 Now Is the time, and the place is here. to bring my idea to action I insist on being heard. Here is the plan We will not postpone it till next century. We will try it now"
 It is our business to make our ideas prevail We are not to go si. lent, nor to retire from activity, be. Neving that our nation is long-lived, and that our thought has an eternity in which to come to pass. We must speak up. We must strike early and strike hard The time is short. It Is right to wish to get something done in our own lifetime.-Harper's Weekly.

REFLECTS LIFE OF SECTION
Homespun Language We'll Described as Having Race-Old DistillatIon
 of Wisdom.

The life of every section is reflected in It's speech. Why should 1t not be taught pride in the very archaisms 1t possesses? We have a storehouse on which we can never afford to turn the key. Take a lower Mississippi sen. tence that Clemens might have cop fed: There's been a fray on the river-I don't know how the fraction began, but Dan and Bill feathered into the Joneses with their rifles" Agincourt bowmen would have under stood "feathered into"
 In the tongue of the Appalachians storm Ia tempest, gay is gamesome, strong Is sur-vigorous, the air is the element, agriculture is tilth and bus. bandry, medicine is physick. The peo pie speak i'll metaphor as readily az the Tudors. One can hear in the Great Smokies, as in Marlowe, of towards whose blood Is snowbroth and heroes bold as brass.
 To become ashamed of speech with a colloquial flavor Is to become ashamed of the very speech that is primitive thews and muscles. Tho homespun language has a past; in il beats the heart Of democratic feeling and its sayings and phrases have . race-old distillation of wisdom.-Nev York Post.

J. s. TROOPS TO
 ARKANSAS MINES
FEDERAL JUDGES PLEA
PRESIDENT WILSON DISCUSSES MATTER. BUT HAS TAKEN
 NO ACTION.

Washington, Nov. 3.-President Wilson, Attorney General Gregory and Secretary Garrison of the war department discussed at a long con- ference at the White House last night the advisability of sending federal troops to the strike zones of the Hart ford Valley, Arkansas, to assist F, A. Youmans, United States district judge, in inforcing the orders of his court.
 No decision was reached It was announced that no troops would be ordered out tonight, at least. It is said, however, that the request of the request of the federal judge is under consideration and that the matter will be held in abeyance at least until to- morrow pending advices from him as to the ability of his marshals to cope win the situation.
 Bloodshed and rioting and an al most uncomfortable situation were pie tured to officials here in dispatches from the strike regions.
 This is the first request of the kind that has come to the federal govern ment from a court in many years, but it is fully covered by federal stat utes giving the department of justice power to call on the military branch of the government for assistance in enforcing the laws of the United States

FAULKNER BOY ON TENNESSEE CREW
WRITES FROM ENGLAND
E.. CHROUCH ON VESSEL SENT TO AID STRANDED
 AMERICANS.

C. E. Chrouch, son of Mrs. Ida E.. .Chrouch, Route 2, Conway, is a mem Der of the crew of the United States ship Tennessee, which was sent by the government to Europe to relieve the stranded Americans in the war7torn country. Under date of Sept. 24, Mr. Chrouch writes the Log Cabin Demo- crat the following letter from Wey- mouth, England:
 Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 We have at last landed all Ameri- cans and seen them safely aboard the Frnech liner Chicago, which sailed for America on tht 10th of September. We took TOO Americans who were touring Europe, and on account of the great war were stranded. They were unable to get their checks cashed, and we came to their rescue. The U. s. s. Tennessee has been in European wat CTS since August 13. We brought 9,00O,00O and changed it for the tourists checks.
 My many friends at Conway will no doubt be surprised, for I deserted 1 from the United States navy last Sepl tember year ago l surrendered my self at St. Louis March 29, 1914. 1 am now serving on the Tennessee, and when I come back to Conway 1 will have an honorable discharge and will settle down on the farm for the rest of my remaining years. Conway IS the city for me. l have been in some SC states, but Arkansas has them all beaten in my estimation. It isn't so much in the state, but the people of Arkansas are much more sociahle and friendly. When Uncle Sam is through with me I will be bound for Dixie land.
 Would enjoy a copy of the Log C3bin Democrat now, as l have read the dear old paper since childhood, and a copy would be the next thing to furlough.
 Good luck to the Log Cabin Demo crat. C. E. Chrouch,

SURGICAL WORK OF THE PAST
Researches Have Shown That Art
Was Known Many Thousands
Of Centuries Ago.

DR.. F. NJ. Sandwith, lecturing at
Kensington Hondon) Town hall, said
the first surgeon of whom he could
find any record lived in the fifth
Egyptian dynasty. and must have been
court doctor to the Pharaoh Sahura,
some 1000 years before Christ.
The first surgical implements OF
which we know anything were splints
found in the Nubian desert. In one
place a graveyard was found, and
here were remains of bodies with frac-
tured limbs that had been set with
bark splints. One was a right thigh
bone that had been broken and was
still held in position by workman
like splint and bandages. All the
knots were true reef knots, and the
wrapping showed how the strips OF
palm fiber cloth were set just as a
good surgeon would set them now.
adays, so as to use the full strength
OF the fabric. In other cases bodies
were found with compound fractures
where the broken ends of the bone
had broken through the skin. Death
seems to have come to them very
quickly after an accident of this kind
for no trace of healing of the bones
is to be found.

Them Grateful for Surgical As

operating on the animal.
The mate of the tiger was first Sc
cured in side den. A net, devised
by Professor Haughton, was thrown
over the tiger, and he was drawn for
ward to the door of the cage. Four
stout keepers then held the feet of
the struggling animal, while Professor
Haughton cut away the diseased claw.
The suffering beast furiously, but
vainly tried to get at him during the
operation, but the rage of the tigress
looking on through the bars of the
side den was much more terrible to
behold. She roared. and violently
flung herself against the barriers in
her mad desire to go to the rescue of
her mate.
When the tigress was admitted to
the cage, after the wound of her mate
had been dressed. she turned up the
paw and examined 1t with touching
solicitude. and then licked her mate
as cat licks her kittens, to soothe
him. purring softly the while.
But perhaps the most extraordinary
part Of the affair was the sequel.
week later Professor Haughton was
again at the zoo to see how his pa
tient was getting on. When the ami
NAL espied him, he began to purr like
cat. allowed him to examine the
paw, and seemed pleased that ne
should do SO. Indeed. for years after
ward the tiger and tigress showed
themselves most friendly and grateful

Salt Germs.

Salt, of all things, we deem germ
proof; but, as matter of fact, salt
is one of the most germ-ridden foods
we eat
The speaker. a psychologist, sighed
and resumed:
You know gray salt, the 'gros sell
that gourmands eat with boiled beef?
Well, that salt is made gray by the
addition of mud, plain mud. Hence
it always contains from 5000 to $4,000
bacterial colonies per gram. o.
Refined salt, white salt, is almost
as bad. 1t lies. you know in the re-
finery under a blanket of clay, and its
refining consists of a sea-water bath,
after which 1t is dried and heated to
the point Of crystalization. All this
fails, of course, to remove from 1t its
1000 or 5000 bacterial colonies per
gramme that 1t imbibed from its clay
blanket.
The pure-food people should look
to our salt. The white, clean stun
is alive with germs. Yet 1t would be
easy to refine 1t SO as to make II
germ-free."

PET TORE OFF HIS CLOTHES
Sea-lion the Cause of Considerable
Embarrassment to Owner and
Trainer of Animals.

A sea-lion looks much like a seal,
but 1t is larger, has longer neck,
and holds its head very upright. One
of the largest sea-lions ever kept in
captivity was once owned by Mr.. Carl
Hagenbeck, who buys and sells wild
animals. 1t weighed nearly a ton,
but 1t was SO good-tempered and anna.
BILE that Mr.. Hagenbeck's father took
a great liking to it, fed it himself
every day, and made a great pet of 1t.
At last 1t became SO tame that 1t
followed him about the grounds like a
dog, stopped when he stopped. and
then Topped on again after him in its
clumsy way, giving peculiar little cries
from time to time, as If to ask him to
stop. or not to walk SO fast.
One afternoon, when a good many
people were looking at the sea-lion,
Mr.. Hagenbeck took some pieces Of
fish in basket, and went into the
inclosure to feed his pet. He threw
sea-lion caught them in his mouth
Each time lie caught piece of fish
he would gulp it down hurriedly, and
then give one of his peculiar cries, as
If begging for more. When he had
eaten more than half the basketful,
Mr.. Hagenbeck thought he had enough
for meal, and taking up the basket,
turned to go out.
But the seal-lion did not agree with
him. Quick as a flash. he rushed up
to Mr.. Hagenbeck, caught hold of his
coat with his sharp teeth. and with
one wrench, not only tore it off his
back. but took large piece of the
shirt with it. He then caught hold Of
the basket in the most greedy man.

of the fish as quick as he could.
He was very good-tempered about
1t, and gulped down his food until
the basket was quite empty; then he
went over to his master. as If to ask
If that were all. But poor Mr.. Hagen
beck was standing with his back to
the wall, for it had been stripped bare
of clothing, and before SO many peo-
pie he felt ashamed. He called out
to his son to bring him an overcoat,
and when that came. he put it on, still
standing with his back to the wall,
while the sea-lion lowered about him,
evidently puzzled to know what was
the matter.-Youth's Companion.
