Marinette EaRle.Star: The Germans
have been taught by force of necessity
to make the fullest possible use of every
available acre of land. This far sight
ed policy has within II quarter of II cen
tury transformed the kMser's realm
into n of the most prosperous nations.
1t has almost doubled its annual in
come in the last twenty years.
Darlington Democrat; 1t may be
that the League, having set its hand to
retrenchment and IA return to the good
times we used to have, will tell us
about the best way to return and about
the condition they would have us re-
turn to. Maybe the League means the
conditions that prevailed while Demo
Gratis administered the state govern
ment.
The Searchlight: And whatever may
be our varying views upon applied re-
ligion, WE may all thank God that in
this crisis there is in the White House
n God serving and God fearing man
with II heart and a brain and II con-
science. And II man who uses the car.
pet to kneel on that Abraham Lincoln
used and uses it as he used il. is at the
end a pretty good mar to trust to ulti-
mate conclusions of wisdom and patri-
otism as well rs righteousness.
Waterloo Democrat There are sew
eral classes of people who want war
with Mexico. Not many of them
would think seriously of shouldering II
rifle in case of such u war; instead
they would ''Iet George do it," Many
of the big dailies, and especially the
yellow ones of Hearst, want war
because it would mean greater profits
to them, Every report of Il gun ON the
picket line would be an excuse for an

M'ADOOS WILL LIVE IN
A LITTLE COTTAGE"
Future Home Situated In FASH
iOnabIe Washington Suburb.

Neutrality-suspicious. that the Wilson
postnuptial fact stands out promi-
nently:
The McAdoos are going to live in Il
cottage!
This has come as something of Il
shock to Washington society. which.
when it heard the news. elevated its
eyebrows and emitted a little murmur
of surprise.
But it will be Earring to certain of
a sentimental cast of mind to learn
that the cottage" Of the McAdoos
will be Il cottage in name only.
It's something on the order of the
cottages down at Newport" that Co
han used to sing about long years
ago, and the cottage which the Nc
Adoos are reported to be taking is
situated at Chevy Chase, not far from
the Chevy Chase club, of which Presi-
dent Wilson is Il member.
A cottage at Chevy Chase comes
very near being the kind Of house
known in 1880 rs Il mansion. Chevy
Chase Is the most exclusive suburb
of all the suburbs around the capital.
and the man who buys Il house there
finds his deed quite full of clauses,
STIMULATING everything from the price
of the house he must build on the lot
to the color and nationality of the
man to whom he may sell his prop
erty if ever he goes broke.
Therefore it seems that the mere re
port that the McAdoo cottage is to be
in Chevy Chase kills all the roseatr
dreams of the sentimental minded.
who probably conjured up dreams of
a bungalow where the red roses grow.

Smokes Cigars and Chews.
West Orange. y. j. When the ZOO
employees Of the Edison plants here
entered the shops the other morning
they were confronted on every side
with printed signs bearing this warn
ing 'Cigarcttes Not Tolerated. They
Dull the Brain"
As a result of correspondence with
Henry Ford. the Detroit automobile
manufacturer. Thomas A.. Edison de
cided to be Il crusader against the Gig
arctic. At the request of Mr.. Ford
Mr.. Edison made analyses of at least
twenty brands Of cigarettes. While
he found the tobacco contained in
them was of all qualities. he found
poisonous matter in all the papers in
which they were rolled. Said Mr.. Ed
son:
THAT poison attacks the brain and
works havoc with mans mental ac-
tivity. His mind becomes clouded.
EvaristO Madero, brother of the late
president of Mexico, told hcrc a few
days ago that men. women and chill
drcn are inveterate smokers Of cigar
cites III the southern republic. That is
why Mcxicans as a race are not clear
headcd.''
Mr.. Edison has always abhorred Gig
a%rtttcs, but he is a heavy smoker Of
cigars, and he likes to chew tobacco.

New Tariff Law Big Money Maker

new IarIU Law zig money MAKER.
Edward l.. Lucknow in The Baraboo
Democrat: The amount Of customs
receipts since the Underwood tariff law
went into effect has exceeded the most
optimistic hopes of democratic leaders
in tariff revision, according to William
j. Malburn, assistant secretary of the
treasury, in charge of customs. Mr..
Malburn declared it was expected that
customs receipts would fall off during
the first year Of operation of the new
law, bit that it now appears that by
the end Of the fiscal year ending July /,
1914, they have exceeded last years
figures by $10,0 600 900, reaching an ag-
gregate Of $3.50, 900, 600. Mr.. Malburn
attributes the increased revenue to an
increased importing business, stimu-
lated by the lower tariff.

Doom For Imported Strike-breakers.
New York World: United States
troops being in Colorado for only one
purpose, which is the establishment of
peace, the Presidents order forbidding
the employment Of imported strike
breakers Is wise and timely.
The men who are striking to-day are
the strike. breakers of ten years ago.
They displaced American workingmen.
They were newcomers, recruited at
New York and other seaports. They
were desperate then. They are more
desperate now.
Strike breaking as now carried ON is
not far removed from peonage. 1t rec
ognizcs no human obligation whatever.
Its tendency is always downward. 1t
is toll without hope. 1t is n cruel

JAZZ ANESE Liner
ESCAPES FROM A
GERMAN CRUISER
Chased While Crossing the
Pacific but Arrives Safely
in Harbor at San Fran
cisco.

San Francisco, Aug. 31.-The Japan
csc liner Chiyo Maru, which arrived
here today, reports that on the night
of August 90 she was chased for four
hours by a German cruiser. but es-
capped by crowding on all speed.
The cruiser appeared from the rear
about $3.50 p. m, and threw a beam
from her searchlight on the Chiyo's
stern. Captain Green, a British of
ficer, n command, detailed an extra
force of stok ers and soon was making
81 knots.
At this speed he began to draw away
from his pursuer and was able to keep
out of range of the cruisers bow
chasers. Shortly after midnight the
last CLEAN of light from the cruiser
was swallowed in the night and the
make good her escape.
Rugged Three mile Limit.
She appeared off the American coast
this morning far north of the trade
route and Rugged the three mile limit
to port.
The only German cruisers known to
be in Pacific waters are the Leipzig
and the Nurnberg, both of which are
rated as able to make 2 Sknots, but
they had been long in southern waters
when war broke out and must be foul
which is what the officers of the Chiyo
believed enabled them to escape.
Captain Green estimated his posi-
ton when the chase began as latitude
$4,000 north, longitude 100000 west
Passengers on the Chiyo reported
that travel between Japan and all but
American and Canadian ports has beer

GERMANY AND GREAT
BRITAIN ACCEPT THE
AMERICAN PROPOSAL

Washington. Aug. 31.-Both Ger
many and Great Britain have accepted
the proposal of the United States that
the wireless stations at Tuckerton, N.
j.. and Sayville. l.. l.. be permitted to
send code messages to belligerent
countries, subject to censorship by
American naval officers.
The Tuckerton station has been clos
ed because it had no license from the
department of commerce, but 1t is I'M
derstood that arrangements are under
way for its renewed operation. Both
the Sayville and Tuckerton stations
will have to satisfy the American gov
eminent that they are not directly or
indirectly owned by the German gov
eminent, and 1t is considered probable
that Great Britain may object to the
handling Of messages at the American
end of the wireless stations by sub
jects of any belligerent nation.

BY BRITISH CRUISER

London, Aug. Sin confirmation of
the story that mines have been laid
in the North sea by vessels disguised
as neutral fishing boats, woman who
arrived at London from Bergen tells of
the sinking of such a mine layer by a
British cruiser.
The ship on which she was travel
ing found itself one morning close to
a number of British cruisers, one of
which had caught a German trawler
flying the Norwegian flag and engaged
in laying mines.
According to this woman. the Brit
ish commander gave the crew of the
trawler three minutes in which to
leave their vessel. and they came
tumbling over the side of the passen-
ger ship. Then the cruiser backed up
and rammed the offending trawler and
at the second attempt cut in two and
sent her to the bottom.
