LOSS HEAVY AMONG
TRIESTE ITALIANS

Trieste, Austria, Sept. s.-The de-
feat of the Austrians at Lember- has
created a deep impression at Trieste
and all along the Adriatic coast. The
regiments which suffered most were
composed of men of italian origin; the
Ninety seventh Austrian infantry was
recruited almost entirely from Trieste
Italians. This organization was vir-
tually annihilated, 1000 men being left
on the field and only S. returning

Court overruled Motion.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 9.-Judge George
NJ. Bourquin in the United States dis
trict court today, overruled the mo-
ton of the national guard of Montana
to quash the application for a writ of
ha,beas corpus asked in behalf of three
men held prisoners by the militia here
The court gave the military officers
until o'clock this afternoon to show
cause why the writ should not issue.
The courts ruling holds that notwith-
standing that martial law Is in effect
here, habeas corpus has not been sus
pended.
The court in its decision required the
military officers to file an answer to
the petition for habeas corpus this
afternoon and stated that if no fed
eral question is involved the entire pro-
ceeding would be dismissed for want
of jurisdiction. Judge Bourquin de-
clared that to the present, the rec
ord in the case is incomplete, no al
legations having been made as to the
charges on which the three defend
ants, James Chapman, Ed Evans and
William Malone, are being held by the
soldiers.
NThe answer of the attorneys rep
resenting the militia this afternoon will
be that the prisoners are being held
for the regular state tribunals and
that their detention at the present time
is imperative, because of the acts OF
lawlessness which have been commit
ted in Butte
The court held that the governor has
the right to proclaim martial law
during a period of instruction and de-
clared that If the petitioners are not
charged with an offense involving the
federal government the petition will
be dismissed and they must seek relief
in the state courts.

The problems of farming are

Successful farming and mar

Farming is successful only
when the crops have been profit
ably marketed.

It's the man who really counts

hausted all its resources the
fighting will go on.
Other discussions led to this:
From the manner in which the
belligerents have struggled, and
with a knowledge Of the state Of
mind of the powers engaged pre-
ceding the war, this struggle is
to be almost a death grapple
that it willrequire a half century
or more for even a waking re-
covery.
1t is no wonder, then, that
President Wilson has discouraged
the misguided peace advocates
who have insistently urged that
the United States take immediate
steps toward terminating the
war through the mediation pro
cess. The President is well a.
ware that the war will not end
until the conditions outlined
above are realized, and any
effort toward bringing about
peace now might have an un-
seasonable effect. Macon News.

How Long Will the War Last?

When General Kitchener de-
clared that the war would last
from one and a half to three
years few believed him. Now
however, the opinion is strong
among the students of European
conditions that the conflict will
really be in progress that
long.
Even Andrew Carnegie, that
sterling advocate and hnancier
of peace, declares that it would
be ruinous to the peace cause
to bring about an arbitrary or
premature cessation of hostili-
ties. An armed truce would
would be the result, " he says.
The best opinion is that the
war must proceed until one of
the nations is utterly exhausted.
Considering the odds against the
kaiser, it is reasonable to suppose
that eventually and invariably
Germany must yield.
The New York World asked
three score American military
men these questions:
How long will the war in Eu-
rope last?
Which side will be the victor
Germany and Austria or the
triple entente?
On the question of how long
will the war last the opinions
ran from nine months to Is
months. A majority of the Off
GERS estimated one year. Twen-
ty officers declined to reply.
One officer said Germany had
a fighting chance to win.
A remarkable feature of the
discussions was that in nearly
every instance the same line of
reasoning was followed in max
ing the opinion.
The one thing upon which all
agreed was:
This is a war not only of ready
resources, but of all resources,

Boiling

Warren County's legalized
primary seems to be productive
of much mutual recrimination,
boiling and backsliding, not to
mention backbiting, Judging
from the very fervent columns
of our contemporaries over there.
Warren County takes its politics
seriously and that is an indication
of healthy interest in the affairs
of the commonwealth and is as
it should be, but the action OF
some of the candidates, contest
ants and their friends and sup
porters in boiling the action of
the primary and trying to injure
the chances Of candidates legally
nominated is not good.
1t is a queer sort of conscience
that does not question the fair
ness of failing to abide by the
action of a primary in which
one is allowed to participate
in good faith. A bad loser
would hardly make a good win
ner and a man who cannot be
governed by the action of the
majority of his fellow citizens is
hardly safe person to be en-
trusted with the government OF
his fellow citizens.
Boiling the primary in Halifax
has been tried several times with
very satisfactory results to all
parties but the boilers themselves
and we predict the same conse-
quencss this year in Warren.

If the bulk of this years cot
ton crop is sold at the price now
prevailing; i. e., six cents pound
it will mean a total loss to the
south of six hundred and seven
ty five millions of dollars. Just
to appreciate what this means,
it is necessary to realize that the
Halifax County cotton farmers
share of this gigantic loss amounts
to 81, $50, 600. 90 and Halifax is
not the largest cotton producing
county in the South. The figures
stagger conception.

SOUND OF WAR NAMES
How to Pronounce Some Of the
Difficult Ones

Several readers have written
to the Sun requesting the publ
cation of a key to the pronuncia-
ton Of some of the places mention
ed frequently in the war dispatch
es In the following list an attempt
is made to give as nearly as pos
sible the English equivalents OF
many of the names.
1t should be borne in mind,
however, that it is impossible to
indicate exactly the sounds en-
ployed in pronouncing the origl-
mails. For instance, the reader
should not place too great stress
on the nasal sounds suggested in
some of the names.
The French and Belgian names
in the list as a rule are accented
equally on all syllables. To the
American ear this will at first
sound as though the last syllable
were accented. Many of the
Austrian names, on the other
hand, are accented on the first
syllable.
Below will be noticed words
marked nasal. {" To get the
correct sound, for instance, in
the French word mon my it is
pronounced as though spelled
mawn, the n, however, not be-
ing sounded, the word dying
away with nasal twang. 1t is
as though the end Of the word
tried to get through the nose but
was choked off and stopped there.
