All the cabinets. particularly that of

LAS soon as the first definite news

pointing out that warlike measures
against Austro- Hungary would find us
on the side of our ally; that military
preparations against us would force
us to corresponding counter measures,
and that mobilization would not be
far removed from war. Russia declar-
ed she would not enter into any sort
OF military preparations against us.
In the meantime England sought
to mediate between Vienna and St.
Petersburg. We warmly supported
her. On July 28. the emperor of Ger
many requested the emperor of Rus
sia to consider that Austro-Hungary
had the right and duty to protect her
self against the great Servian plots.
"About the same time and prior to
the receipt Of this telegram, the Rus

the German emperor to counsel mod

. CHARITY. AND PRICES

- Enormous quantities of food arc needed tos the relief of Roi-cOmhatants in Belgium, iu ad- dItlS1 to the 30,OOO tons already provided by the American relief commission and other stores for warded by the Rockefeller founda7 ton, In appealing to the Ameri- can public for contributions the eopmission suggests that they be ,tr|hsmitted to it in cash, ito avoid competition in the purchase of BuabEeS and the consequent in creass i8 prices"
 Phs7 suggestion is doubtless wtse, rbut it brings up an unpleas- ant thought concerning the price Americans are paying for the Flu ropesa war. That price has al- ready included something of busi- ness disturbance, interruption of foreign commerce, diminutiOn of tariff receipts, the levying of au extraordinary federal tax and the extending Of financial aid to the eotton-growing states. Instead Of EsseS compensated in any way, as by pEiee reductions consequent upon diminished exports and in creased supplies in the home mar ket, Americsns have been called uOon to pay higher prices than uFpsl, war prices,'' for their own f9Sd-Rot imported food articles aIene, but domestic staples whose pe3cea ought to have gone down If sasCted at all by the war. In ad- dRaoa to bearing their own bur dehS, the people Of the United Ststes are now asked to undertake Tsrtous works of humanity abroad with the diseoncerting suggestion that every dollar they contribute to buy American food for the Bel -gisRs will enter into conpetitio with the dollars they must spend for their own food and send prices stilI higher.
 The fact is curious rather than de terriAg. America has food to spare. It's priee is unusually high and doubtless would be if international charity were not in the market as s competing bidder. No such con- Bidsration ia the least weakens the sppeal of Europe's innocent sui ferers-among whom the Belgians are pre-eminently entitled to sym Dathy. The call Is one that Ameri- ca Eaast and will heed in generous measure, regardless of effect on the home market. It merely em- phasizes the truth that America must help to pay for Europe's folly and pay in far-reaching, indirect . ways as yet unlmaglned.

GIANT CENTIPEDES.
A Foot Long and Armed With Forty
 Odd Poison Laden Claws.

A Foot Long and Armed With Forty
 Odd Poison Laden Claws.
 Centipedes have nowhere good rep utation. Some of those in the tropics are terrible creatures indeed The giant centipede of Trinidad and Fene- zuela is sometimes foot long and can do very serious harm. Its foremost pair of feet are modified into supple mentary jaws. which are fanglike and may lutlict a powerful bite. Further more, each has poison gland at its base that sends Into the wound venom deadly to small creatures and very painful even to mankind
 Moreover, the sharp claw of each Of the forty-Oue feet Is poisonous like wise, SD that when the animal crawls over the soft skin of the human arm it leaves trail of red. inhatued spots. 1t Is dangerous to knock the centipede off, for instantly the creature drives the claws more deeply into the hesh md sends greater amount of venom into each puuCtHre. It may also take hold with It's jaws.
 When the ceutipede seizes its prey or Is itself caught by an enemy it coils itself around it's antagonist and grips it tenaciOuSly with all its legs It Is therefore a very uulucky object to tackle. In this connection it is inter estlng to note that many myriapods Ire brightly banded with black and yellow. contrasting tints that show conspicuOuSly against the dark soil or the forests where they abound. The giant centipede is shining mahogany brown, with the legs bluiSh and ringed with yellow.
 A singular fact about centipedes (which. in spite Of the name. rarely have 100 feet and may have as few as ifteenl is that the number of legs Is m. variably odd and may vary in number even in specimens that belong to the same species. All are CarniVOrOus- The smaller kinds feed on worms ana grubs. the larger on any living prey they can overcome. They are, there fore. of service In destroying many uoxious insects. Captive specimens are exceedingly cleanly in their habits and go through elaborate toilets, brush ing their legs one by one and the sides l 1f the body with their jaw feet, which are furnished with mat or hairs adapted to this purpose.-Youth's Con- no ninn

MUST STORM THE FORTS.
1t Is Not Good Tactics For an Army to
 Pass Around Them.


 Why not go around a fort instead of trying to storm it? Why not circle the rampartS and proceed swiftly onward with the army intact. leaving the sol diers in the fort. after manner Ot speaking. holding the sack as well as the fort:
 An officer in the cavalry of the Unit ed States army explained why such yeranda strategy isn't used and why it cannot be used.
 If it iS mountainous country the fort would be placed in the pass, the only road through which an invading army could travcb' he explained. There would be no fortitication on either side. but it would he impossible to move an army with its guns and supplies over the mountains. A single man would have q hard time making the trip.
 Suppose the country were level and the forts were forty or fifty miles apart. In that case it apparently would be easy for the army to pass between the strOnghOldS. The army tries 1t The defenders of the country throw up field Notifications between the forts. Behind every rock and roll in the ground a man with gun is hidden. Rifle pits are dug hastily. The invaders encounter opposition. but perhaps they sweep on.
 ''Then this would happen: The forces from the forts would sweep out across the rear and cut off the base of sup plies. The invaders would be without food, and the men would have no time for sleep.
 "In two days the organization would be destroyed. and the enemy's cavalry approaching from the rear would cut the invaders to bits. Soldiers withvHt food and denied sleep can't fight. Men remember their discipline best on full stomachs. An army cut off from its base of supplies would fall apart and be an easy prey for q much smaller force
 Tt is better to take the fort if pos siBle, The communication with the rear, where the supplies are, is thus un- Interrupted, and most of the opposing force Is driven ahead. "-Kansas City Times.
