European Harvest.

The american tourists we're equal IN
value to a good harvest and this year
there will be loss to Europe. If the
war continues into the season next
year this loss will be serious, from a
European point of view. 1t is estimat-
ed that the tourists spend thousand
dollars apiece in their tour. Some go
cheaper, others spend more. This year
there we're 10000 in round numbers
accounted for, and they probably spent
more than the average, certainly II
their losses on baggage and extortion-
ate discount of travellers checks are
counted in, for there is a stack of
trunks, suit cases and satchels at Co.
logne piled ten feet high around the
cathedral, all belonging to Americans.
Over 100000 pieces of baggage had to
be abandoned in flight. If the war cuts
out the touring season next year it
should save at least S120,000,000 for
home consumption. Americans will
have a chance to see their own coun-
try. If there were small hotels with
fare as good and prices as reasona-
BILE as are provided in Europe there
would be many more tourists In this
country at all seasons.

.PETRAS FOUND NOT GUILTY
Jury Returns Verdict in Kane County
Murder Case-No New Evidence
Is introduced.

Geneva, ILL.,, Oct. 5.-Anthony Petras
was found not guilty of Theresa Hol-
lander's murder by twelve Kane
county citizens in Judge Carnes' cOu.t
Holding his young wife in mis- arms,
Tony listened to the one sentence
which restored him his freedom. He
kissed her when the words were read
and Mrs. Petras laughed joyfully
With the jury's verdict the mystery
of the Hollander girls death slipped
back again into the grim shadow of
st. Nicholas cemetery, where the body,
dubbed and bleeding, was found on
the night of February 16.
The states first effort to fasten the
crime upon Petras resulted in an IL to
disagreement in favor of his &C
quittal early in July. No new evil
dence was produced against Petras in
the second trial.
Park Whipple, the foreman of the
jury, said: You may say that the first
ballot stood at least to for acquit-
tai. and that four ballots were all that
were taken. We reached the verdict
at 1920 o'clock last night, and in &C.
quitting Petras believe we have done
our duty according to the law and the
evidence in the case"

WHALE DANCE OF ESKIMos
Peculiar Festivity That Gives the
Young Men Chance to Choose
Their Wives.

A very primitive custom of the ma
tives of the Boring and arctic coasts
of Siberia, ~ custom that Lea come
down from generations of savage an
cestors, is the annual celebration OF
the whale dance. when the Eskimos
select their wives.
When Inc sun moves southwark at
the end of the short summer season,
and the ice closes upon the northern
seas, the whales come down to open
water. Then in celebration of the
seasons catch the ice jewellers as
semble for the whale dance, which
lasts 81 days.
The great dance circle is prepared,
and in the center the dancers, both
male and female, perform the most
savage of evolutions and motions to
the accompaniment of rhythmless
beating OF the tom-toms and weird
chanting. The dance songs tell of the
prowess of the hunters and of the his
tory of the tribe The movements OF
the women are surprisingly graceful,
and they mean to show in their dance
that, as daughters of a great people,
they are possessed of ali the qualities
such women should have. The men
execute pantomimic scenes of the
hunt, and go through all the motions
of the kill; they spear the ice bear,
Stay the walrus and seal, and finally,
with extraordinary contortions, van
quish the mighty whale.
During the last days of the feast,
when the time arrives for the selec-
ton of husbauds and wives, the man
performs his mate dance before the
woman he has picked out. In panto-
mime he promises to orovide her gen.
erously with the fruit of the hunt.
with him, she walks out and dances
her acceptance and shows how she
will look after the igloo. When they
have danced before each other they
are married after the custom of the
tribe and he leads her off to his wal
rus hide lodge.
During the dance they feast on
whale. The skin of the baleen whale
is about an inch thick and looks
like rubber The solid blubber be-
tween it and the true flesh is usually
about IA inches thick. The black skin
and the blubber, the latter cut to the
thickness of the former, is called mok-
TUX and is considered great delicacy.
1t is eaten raw, and although 1t sounds
repulsive to the civilized ear, is most
palatable 1t has a flavor something
like that of chestnuts-Youth's Com
panion.

SOME FAMOUS SIEGES
INVESTED TOWNS THAT LONG
HELD OUT AGAINST FOE.
That of Greatest Duration Was at
Richmond, Which the confeder-
ates Defended for Four Years
GibraItar's Great Exploit.

The defense of Liege by 10000 Bel
gians against three German army
corps numbering $4,000 will go down
to history as one of the most brilliant
feats of arms in the annals of war,
says London Tit-Bits.
The FrancoPrussian war of 1901
was remarkable for it's sieges. Bazaine
held out at Metz against the Germans
for nearly two months, and finally sur
rendered with 5000 officers and 49,
600 men. For this he had to submit
to court-martial, and was sentenced
to 20 years Imprisonment. Afterward
came the siege of Paris, which lasted
six months. Thousands of shells were
rained on the city every day by the
Germans, and no fewer than 10000 OF
the inhabitants succumbed to disease
and hunger.
That lengthy sieges are quite posi-
BILE even in these days of huge guns is
illustrated by Chukri Pasha's gallant
defense Of Adrianople last year for 155
days. Then there was the compare
lively recent great siege of Port Ar
thur in the Russo-Japanese war in
1904-05, which finally capitulsted after
being blockaded by Admiral Togo for
21O days. The name of General Stoes-
sci will rank with those of the great
soldiers Of modern times.
In Ottoman and Russian military
history there has never been a siege
like that of Plevna in 1877, when Os-
man Pasha defied the Russians for IA
days, and finally surrendered on De
cember 10, with 10000 men and 100
guns, owing to provisions and am
munition running short. In the same
year Kars, long the bulwark Of the
Ottoman empire in Asia, was stormed
by the Russians after siege of five
months
Twenty-Five years earlier the for
tress had been brilliantly defended for
eight months against the Russians by
the Turks under General Williams,
who had but 5000 men against $4,000.
Even these sieges, however, are
somewhat Insignificant when COM
pared with some others. The long
est siege occurred in the American
Civil war, when the Confederates de-
Tended the town of Richmond for
1885 days, or just over four years.
Sebastopol, in the Crimean war, held
out for II months, while General Cor
don defended Khartum against the
Sudanese for 800 days. The sieges OF
Ladysmith, Kimberley and Mafeking,
in the South African war, lasted 100,
1913 and 264 days, respectively.
There is probably, however, no siege
which Britishers like to read about so
much as that carried out by France
and Spain in their endeavors to carry
the Rock of Gibraltar, 1888. Alto
gether the siege lasted nearly four
years, and, as the world knows, re-
suited in a complete triumph of Brit
ish arms in spite of the fact that the
enemy numbered 10000 to 10000 men,
while the defenders could only muster

PRAY FOR PEACE
MILLIONS IN UNITED STATES Pc.
TlTIoN GOD TO END EURO
PEAN WAR.
PRESIDENT GOES TO CHURCH
Secretary of State Tells Audience In
New York That Conflict Is the Great
est Calamity the World Has Ever
Known.

Washington, Oct 6.-Led by Presi-
dent Wilson, the people of the United
States devoted Sunday to supplication
to God to put an end to the war which
has convulsed the eastern and shaken
the western hemisphere.
Responding to the proclamation of
the president, millions of men, women
and children sent up their prayers to
the Almighty to instill desire for
peace into the hearts of the warning
nations
Reports from other parts of the
country are to the effect that all rec
ords for church attendance were
broken.
AS an effort to bring about peace the
spectacle of the nation in prayer was
an impressive one.
In Washington such day of church
going has not been observed in many
year. The churches were crowded to
capacity and in many the peace pray
ers were repeated at several services.
The cabinet members who are in the
city attended their respective
churches.
New York, Oct. Ga special detail
of police was necessary to handle the
crowd that was unable to gain en-
trance to the Peace Sunday services
in the Brooklyn Tabernacle, where
Secretary Of State Bryan was the prin-
cipal speaker. Before the time set
for the opening of the services the
place was filed with a gathering of
Christians and Jews, who united IN
prayer for world peace. Among the
prominent persons present were Mr..
and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie.
Secretary Bryan was presented by
Rev. DR.. Charles E. Jefferson, pastor
of the tabernacle, and declared at the
very outset that religion was the most
fundamental thing in mans existence.
He quoted Tolstois comparison of re-
ligion with morality, defining the for
mer as that which was in a man, and
morality as it's outward expression.
The same application of religion and
morality should be made in the case
of nations, he maintained.
Today" continued Mr. Bryan, 1--WE
are face to face with the greatest
calamity of history. begun just at a
time when the peace forces we're gath
ering for final victory. And as we
pray to Jehovah for peace, more men
are in arms and anxious to Try con-
illusions with the enemy according to
the methods OF war than the world
has ever before known"
Referring to the peace treaties sue
cessfully negotiated by him, he said
that they were based on the theory
that commerce was the normal ex-
preston of human activity.
Mans plans must be carried out
when he is calm, not when he is
angry" said he. TT / sthe plan of
our government to deal with other
nations at a time when an appeal can
be made to conscience, judgment and
to moral sense. That time is not
when either nation involved is
angry"
Following out this thought he point
ed out that no man can be found to-
day who will acknowledge RESPONSE
bility for the present war. None of
the nations involved will defend the
idea of war and none desires to be
held responsible for 1t.

CLAYTON BILL PASSED
FOUR DEMOCRATIC SENATORS
OPPOSED MEASURE.
One Section of Antitrust Act May
Be RepeaIed-vote Is IS
TO a.

Washington, Oct. THE Clayton
antitrust bill, as changed in confer
ence, passed the senate by a vote of
35 to "a, four Democrats joining the
Republicans in opposition to the meas
ure The Democrats who opposed the
bill were: Lane, MARITIME, Reed and
Thomas.
Democratic senators not in favor of
the bill were induced TO vote for it on
a promise by Senator Culberson that
the provision in it regulating inter
locking bank directors would be given
further consideration at the winter
session after modification had been
drafted by the federal reserve board.
The senate judiciary committee had
recommended elimination of reference
to bank regulation on the ground that
such provision had no place in an anti
trust law, but belonged to the bank
ing and currency law. 1t urged the
issue be left open until a report from
the reserve board could be obtained.
Acting on this recommendation, the
senate rejected the provision, but the
senate conferees restored it on the. in
sistence, they claimed, of the house
conferees.
With passage of the conference re-
port there is an understanding that
the federal reserve board will prepare
regulations concerning the relation
ship of directors in banks and bank
ing institutions which will be subrn1t-
ted to con gress next session as an
amendment to the banking laws.
When enacted, this regulation will re-
peal the Objectionable section in the
Clayton bill as passed by the senate.
Senator Reed forced roll call on
his motion to recommit the bill to the
conference committee, but was beaten,
35 to 25. The Democrats who voted
to recommit were: Reed, Lane, Mar
tine, Thomas, Vardaman and Will
liams.
A motion by Senator McCumber to
carry the bill over as unfinished bust
ness to the winter session was de-
feated without roll call.
