WALKS 1870 MILES TO ENLIST.
Boy Disappointed When Told War Had
Not Been Declared.

Jackson, Mlss.-COming afoot all the
way from Tate county, 100 miles,
George Starks, young farmer, went
to the office Of the adjutant general of
the state and astonlshed everybody
there by saying that he wanted to en-
list as a private for the war in Mexico.
The attacSes Of the office looked at the
man in wonder. This certainly was
unusual. Everybody else that had said
anything about enlisting in the state
militia wanted to be a captain, a colo
mel or n major.
The simon pure patriot was told to
keep up with the daily newspapers and
return to the adjutant generals office
when war should be declared and Mis-
sissippi would be called on for militia
Starks was disappointed. He wanted
TO get into the fight at once He want
ed no stripes, no hOnors-simply the
privilege Of being a private in the
ranks to fight for the honor of the flag.

TAX ASSESSORS
EXPECT NO CONTEST
Say Rockefeller viii Have TO Pay
Million and Halt.

Cleveland, o., May 27. - John D.
Ohio on property valued at 1911 1885,
BAT, unless he is able to prove to the
courts that the taxing machinery OF
the state has no right to tax him on
such amount District Tax Assessors
Agnew and Fackler announced they
will place the Standard Oil king on
the tax duplicate for this amount. OF
this sum S285, 100000 represents stock
In the Standard Oil company.
Figured at the rate Of S5 per $1,000,
Mr.. Rockefeller will have to pay ST.
556,131. The present tax rate in East
Cleveland, the home Of Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter, is $14 per $1,000 but, by this
large increase, the rate is expected
to be reduced to IS.
In telephone communication with
the state tax commission at Co
lumbus, Commissioner Agnew stated
that a thorough investigation had
failed to show that Mr.. Rockefeller
had returned this property for taxa
tion in any other state. The commits
sioners have spent several weeks in
digging up holdings of the oil king.
1--WE expect Mr.. Rockefeller to pay
taxes on the entire amount for which
we have listed him and do not look
for any contest. We have data to show
concluslvely his ownership of stocks
and bonds and other personal prop
erty Of this amount" Mr.. Agnew said.

NJ 'ADOOS WILL LIVE IN
A LITTLE COTTAGE"
Future Home Situated In FASH
iOnabI0 Washington Suburb.

Washington. that the Wilson
McAdoo wedding is over, one great
postnuptial fact stands out promi-
nently:
The McAdoos are going to live in a
cottage!
This has come as something of a
shock to Washington society, which.
when it heard the news, elevated its
eyebrows and emitted a little murmur
of surprise.
But it will be jarring to certain of
a sentimental cast of mind to learn
that the cottage" of the McAdoos
will be a 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 a member
A cottage at Chevy Chase comes
very near being the kind of house
known in 1880 as n mansion. Chevy
Chase is the most exclusive suburb
of all the suburbs around the capital,
and the man who buys a house there
finds his deed quite full of clauses,
stipulating 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 roseate
dreams of the sentimental minded,
who probably conjured up dreams of
a bungalow where the red roses grow.

in command of the gunboat Nashville
His commanding officer desired to cut
the cables off Cienfuegos in order that
the Spaniards penned in there might
have no Opportunity to communicate
with Madrid. He ordered Winslow to
do the cutting.
The cable could only be reached in
shallow water with the tools at Wins
lows command. And the shallow wa
ter was in excellent rifle range of Shore
because of which fact-and also be-
cause he saw q chance to have what
he eccentrically believes to be fun
Winslow left his Junior in command of
the Nashville and went out with a
boats crew In a small launch to saw
through that cable. After three hours
the boat came back spotted with bullet
holes. Winslow had been shot through
the hand. The cable was pulled up
and utterly unrooted. 1t was held to
be one of the most gallant exploits Of
the war.
Recently Winslow has been in com
mand of the war college at Newport
and is one of the several junior ad-
mirals who have been picked out by the
gossips to succeed Admiral Badger

of the expert navigators OF the service
Few men know the north Atlantic as
Winslow does. He is one of the hand

figures itself as a rather pulchritudi-

Kaiser Tried For Peace,
Declares Correspondent

Long, war correspondent, and one
of the last Americans to leave Berlin,
declared to-day that it was Austria S
actions, not those of GERMANY which
plunged Europe into warfare. He
said:
The causes of the war, apart from
the traditional race hatred were two.
For neither of these was Kaiser Will
helm responsible. The first cause was
the incredible folly of the Austrian
foreign minister. Count Berchtold in
refusing to negotiate with Russia di-
rect after July %. and after Russia
had modified the districts of Odessa,
kteff, Moscow and KaZan. All these
districts were modified against Aus
tria.
ut was at this point that the Ger
man chancellor, Won Bethmann- Holl-
veg. who wanted peace in Europe,
sent a threat to Austria that if it did
not alter its stand toward Russia he
would tear up the triple alliance ne
gotiations. saw a copy of the chan
cellor's threat
Kaiser Wilhelm backed up the
chancellor. He wanted peace and did
everything possible to bring about
peace. but despite the pleas of Baron
Won Moltke. his chief of staff, the
kaiser delayed issuing the mobilization
order until the very last moment"

Shaw Accuses England
of Having Forced War

London, Aug. 12.-George Bernard
Shaw writes in the Daily News:
Now that we are at war. il is well
that we should know what the war is
about. To begin with. we were not at
war because Germany made an in
famous proposal that we should allow
her to violate Belgian neutrality. If
1t had suited us to accept that pro-
posal, we could have found plenty of
reasons for accepting it; advocates of
our own neutrality have found some
of them already. no more infamous
than the diplomatic reasons we have
given in the past for courses which
happened to be convenient to us. Let
us. therefore, drop it.
Our national trick of virtuous in
dignation is tiresome enough in peace
full party strife at home; in war it is
ungallant and objectionable. Let US
take our pugnacity to the field and
leave our hypocrisy and our bad blood
at home; they weaken heroic fighter
and encourage only blackguards. This
war is a balance of power war and
nothing else. and the fact that we all
have to face is that if our side is vic
torious the result will be an overbal-
ance of power in favor of Russia. far
more dangerous to all the other com
batants than the one we are fighting
to redress"
