a mad dag who. according to the
English poet Kipling, are the Huns"
of our present time. Just think OF
it, The German nation, TO whom
the world Is indebted for leading 1t
in every branch of art and science;
the German nation, whose commerce
and industry has spread over the en-
tire globe; this German nation, whose
great geniuses will live as long as
there are human beings to remember
them; this German nation is called
the modern Huns" who, ''in the
name of God" for the sake Of
Christianity" and Civilization,
must be wiped off the earth by the
Russians and Japanese!
If the English have recourse to
such hypocrisy, we may, II not ex-
cuse, at least explain 1t as ruse Of
war. But what shall we say about
the entire American press echoing
these hypocrisies? How can we ex-
plain the hostile attitude which the
American Press takes against the
German nation, allowing men like
Mr.. Parkhurst to poison the mind
of the people and closing its columns
to every argument that may be offer
ed by the other side?
What ever the outcome of this hor-
rible war may be, future generations
will Judge entirely differently from
those which led to their downfall and
their humiliation by stronger
enemy.
But let us hope, that it will never
i, come to that. The conscience that
they are fighing for a noble cause,
for true civilization, will lend
strength to the Germans and will
crown their efforts with success.
Then, some day, the American peo-
pie will bl 'sh in rereading the papers
Of today. Then they will realize that
also to them German art, science,
commerce and industry are worth
infinitely more than Russian and
English supremacy. = New York

THE DEMAND WILL
INCREASE EVERY DAY

It Is estimated that the United
States and Russia have So per cent
of the horses In the world. Russia
is not exporting horses during the
present war. The allies and all
neutral nations must look to this
country for horses. Such being the
case the demand and price OF horses
will increase every day. II the war
lasts for three years, as Lord kitch-
ener estimates it will, we will export
millions of horses during those years.
Be 1t remembered that during the
Boer war this country sold Great
Britain 100, 900 horses and that the
whole war was only a skirmish In
comparison with the present conflict.
It's stated by the Department OF
Agriculture that there are 21,0OO,OOO
horses in this country and that the
French and British government are
taking a class of horses we can well
afford to spare. The government
urges farmers and stockgrowCrs to
take advantage of the present market
to sell certain classes of horses and
improve the breed. Three years of
war should give this country the best
horses and more of them than any
country in the world. To think that
we can this at an even increasing
profit is cheering to say the least

FAMOUS BARITONE
DELIGHTS HEARERS

The recital at the college auditor
ium Wednesday evening by Charles
w. Clark, the noted baritone singer,
was one of the finest ever given in
Pullman, despite the fact that there
were enough empty seats to daunt
the heart of anyone but true artist,
who always does his best for the sim
pie sake of doing it, and scorns to
guage his efforts by the size of his
audience. Mr.. Clark is a really great
singer, possessing a voice of remark
able range, melloWness and power, so
carefully trained that every tone is
a treat. His high notes are as pure
and sweet as his low notes are deep
and resonant. Those who were pres
ent will always have reason to con-
graduate themselves and those low
ers of good music who were absent,
missed a rare pleasure. What the
audience lacked in size it made up
in enthusiasm and the singer showed
his appreciation by rendering every
number of the generous program
with as much spirit as if he had been
facing a crowded house.
Besides the "a numbers on the
program he gave four encores and
responded to several curtain calls.
His recall after the final selection
as a high tribute to his power. The
audience seemed loath to break the
spell cast over them by his splendid
rendition of THE Eagle" and refused
to go home until they had heard him
once again. His perfect enunciation
and the dramatic fire of his interpre-
tations add much to the effect of his
wonderful voice and should make
him a star of the first magnitude in
grand opera.
He was worthily assisted by Cor
don Campbell. who played the accom-
paniments with rare skill, delicacy
and spirit. They have worked to-
gether for four years and use no
written music, which adds the fin
ishing touch to brilliant and thor
oughly delightful program.

FAST BASKET BALL
FOR THIS EVENING

on Local Floor Tonight

Pullman sport fans who miss the
basket ball game between Pullman
high school and Lewis and Clark high
school of Spokane, which will be
played in the high school gymnasium
tonight will miss what promises to
be one of the fastest and best games
of that popular sport ever seen in
Pullman. With an unbroken string
of victories over Colfax, Moscow and
Johnson to its credit, the local quin-
tet will go after SpOkane's scalp with
a will, and there will be something
doing in the way of excitement.
The Pullman team will be COM
posed of the two Gloyers, Bob Moss,
Ivan Price and Arthur Henry, quin-
tet that could make a good showing
against the best of them and If the
Spokane school wins it will be after
one of the fastest contests they ever
engaged in. An admission OF 20
cents will be charged, and it will be
worth the price.

most productive vegetable tract in
that district, was the experience OF
b. K. Hawley, now of Alfalfa, Wash,
as related before the conference of
county agents Tuesday morning.
While the name OF Mr.. Hawley did
not appear on the program, his talk
proved the most interesting, from
the standpoint of the county agricul-
turists and farmers, of the entire
session.
The success which came to him is
vCuched for by G. l.. Smith, agricul-
turist for the O.-W. r. & N. COM

When Mr.. Hawley secured manure
from a livery stable in Spokane and
dumped it on his acreage his neigh
bors laughed at him, believing that
it would be impossible to produce
anything on the gravely loan of
which his tract consisted. The eX-
pertinent was continued however.
and the results have justified the
outlay.

PULLMAN DAIRYMEN
MEET AND TALK
Organization of Dairy Testing Asso-
citation Is One of the Plans of
Local Farmers

The first of a series of local dairy
meetings was held last Saturday after
noon in the Chamber of Commerce.
building with 80 farmers present.
The series of meetings will be held
in the hope of increasing the interest
IL dairying in this vicinity, which is
thought to be one of the most ideal
dairy sections in the United States,
and for the purpose of exchanging
experiences in an effort to increase
the profits to be derived from a herd
of dairy animals on the Palouse coun-
try farms.
The meeting Saturday was decid-
eddy an informal affair and the keen
interest shown by the farmers in the,
discussions concerning dairy ques-
lions proved the wisdom of holding
the meetings. No permanent organi-
cation was effected, but action look
ing toward the form alton of local
dairy association will probably be
taken at future meeting.
Professor A. B. Nystrom, head of
the State College dairy department,
presided at the meeting and the
principal discussion conferred around
| the selection of cows and a sire in
building up dairy herd.
Professor George Severance spoke
on the value of forage crops for the
dairy COW and II. H. Curtis on the
principles of line breeding in the de-
velopment of dairy herd.
The second meeting of the series
will be held tomorrow afternoon in
| the Chamber of Commerce building
at 1 o'clock sharp, and all the farm
ers and dairymen of this vicinity who
are interested in increasing the eff
| ficiency of their herds are invited to
be present and take part in the dis
cussions.
One Of the plans of the local dairy
men is the organization of a cow

will be taken at Saturdays meeting.
1t is proposed to select a competent
man to visit all the farms in this
vicinity and get a record of every
COW in the herd, including amount
of milk given, percentage of butter
fat, kind and am cunt of feed con-
sumed, etc.
This proceeding would be con-
tinued from year to year and it is
thought that a comparison of those
records would do much toward solv-
ing the problems of the local dairy
men.

rows meeting includes the following:
