SLIDING WAS GLIB.
Big Double Rippers Were Out on
 Broadway Hill.

Monday evening the sliding on
 Broadway hill was excellent, according to the number of people participating in the sport Besides about 1Z dou-
 ble rips on the hill there were numer- ous others with sleds. Te big rips went down to Shannon's corner with ease and could have gone further but the police prohibited it, The course is worn down now just right for slid
 ing and near the theater the road has become icy in parts and this is a help to che sliders to gain momentum. No serious accidents have been reported yet except that one or two have been taken off their pins, as the children say. This scene reminds the older residents of the time when they could slide down Shetucket street Co the dock and then down a chute onto the river. At the rate that some of the rips were going Monday it seem as if they could have easily made the river.
 In Thamesville on Monday night the claim was made for the Slippery Eels, one of the fastest sleds in the city, that it had broken the record by shoot ing from Dunham street to Mill street.

SITUATION is
VERY UNIQUE
DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS ARE
NOT SEVERED-EACH TRIES
TO BLAME THE OTHER

London, Aug. 3.-Four great pow
ers of Europe, Austria Hungary, Rus
sia, France and Germany, are now
engaged in actual warfare, but the
extraordinary position obtains that
two of them, Germany and France,
have not only not declared war
against each other, as far as is known
here, but have not even severed dip
lomatic relations, and this despite the
fact that Germany's ultimatum to
France has either been ignored or
rejected.
The explanation of this would ap-
pear to be that Germany and France
are each seeking to throw upon the
other the onus of beginning the war.
In fact, while the nations of Europe
are flying at each others throats, they
are vieing with each other in protest
ing their desire to maintain peace, and
they repudiate the responsibility for
plunging the whole continent into
bloodshed.
In this curious situation, France,
according to British opinion, has
strongest justification. She certainly
was the latest to mobilize and seems
to have taken the greatest precau-
tions to avoid further complications.
Germany's Forward Move
On the other hand Germany, in ad-
dition to invading French territory
without making a formal declaration
of war has violated the neutrality of
Luxenberg and declines to give any
undertaking to respect Belgian neu-
trality.

FARMERS CLUB
WAS ENTERTAINED
BETTER FARMERS CLUB ENTER
TANNED BY MRS. LEO HOLLAR
SATURDAY AFTERNOON

The Better Farmers Club was en-
tertained Saturday afternoon by Mrs.
Leo Hollar, West Broadway. The
program consisted of music, speaking
and a social tete-a-tete.
Rev. Wall who addressed the meet
ing two weeks before was invited to
address this meeting. The clergyman
spoke on Eve in the Garden of Eden.
He said: "When I was out on the
Experimental farm last Saturday, as
1 stood there surveying the vast crops
and appreciating the unsurpassed
beauty of the location-the only thing
that could think of was the Garden
of Eden. I said surely these occu-
pants ought to be happy here. But
then l thought how Eve surrounded
by her matchless surrounding was
not satisfied. Here the speaker drew
word picture how Eve became
grouchy and absented herself from
Adams immediate presence. And
while all alone in her deep soliloquy
that evil-eyed monster came upon the
scene and engages her in conversa-
tion. He points out to her how she
can become as wise as God, if she
will but taste Of the fruit of the tree
in the midst of the Garden. So, af-
ter listening to this evil one, Eve be-
comes thoroughly discontented with
her simple farm life. Mr.. Wall here
emphasized several points. He ad-
vised the women on the farm not to
be influenced by others to become dis
satisfied with their lot in life. The
tempter stands just outside your
threshold to entice you to leave your
Garden of Eden. "Better stay on the
farm a while longer. Don't be in a
hurry to CO."
One of the young men from the
State Farm followed-telling the
members of the club how to arrange
their exhibits for the coming fair.
President Brown concluded the speech
making by referring to Mr.. Wallis ad-
dress. He said l think we ought to
try to have school of agriculture in
connection with our Experimental
Farm. Why not work for this? If
we cannot have it connected with the
farm, why not have it under the aus
pices OF, the high school?.
Mrs. Leo Hollar and her committee
served an excellent luncheon to the
large number Of guests.
