Regardless of the bearing that the

Other small nations of Europe doubt less would give a good account o1 l count Of themselves if they were fore l ed to take sides
 There is reason. to thin.z that the Poles of Austria Germany and Russia are entering into the war in a blaze

Clayton l.. Gallup Denies Story
 of Rescue of His Son.

Clayton L. Gallup, father Of 12-year- old Clayton E. Gallup, who was near Fly drowned at St. Marys-by-t the-Sea. last Friday afternoon, has stated to The Farmer that he saved his son from the water himself and that the strange man who was accredited with the rescue sat calmly on the bank fishing while the boy struggled in the water Mr Gallup said to Farmer reporter:
 1T was probably twenty feet up the creek when my boy got beyond his depth. I had taken him out to give him swimming lesson and cautioned him about going far from shore be- fore left him. When he got out too far he realized his danger and as he began to go under he called to the man on the bank, HFoller to papa, I'm drowning The man on the bank new CT moved: he just laughted and said, .Aw, swim ashore; you're all right
 heard the boy cry out and started for him as fast as could go. called to the man on the bank to go for help He didn't move but just sat where he was. putting his pipe and fishing. When pulled the boy out of the wa ter he didn't come near us or offer to give us a. hand. Some boys and young men who gathered around helped me in my efnorts to resuAcitate my. son. Some one an the crowd called the am sDuiance- The boy was unconscious when carried him ashore.
 don't know who the voting men were who helped and who called the auibulance, but would like to meet them in order that might thank personally. I also wish to thank pr. Weldon. who resuscitated my lad with: the pulmoter, for his extremely efh- cient work :,
