Gated at or near Jackson, under COM

CABLE Is BADLY CONTESTED
Service Is Poor Owing to Restrictions
Of Censors at European Terminals.
Western Union Improves.

New York.-lnquiry at offices here
OF the three great transatlantic cable
companies developed that on all fifteen
submarine lines between North Amer
lea and Europe traffic still was badly
congested, due. it was said, to the re-
quirements and restrictions of the CEN
sors at the European terminals.
The delivery Of messages to the ter
minals in Europe, however, does not
necessarily mean they will reach their
destinations Immediately. One day last
week the London office of the Western
Union reported 1000 cablegrams had
piled up there awaiting inspection by
the censors.
The entire system of the Western
Union to the south of Europe is SINH
larly affected, as practically all the ter
minals are in British possessions.

MAY DEAL QUICK BLOW
Jap Fleet Is Ready to Attack Ger
nany's Naval Base in China.
War Is Expected.

Washington.-Cable reports received
here from agents of the United States
government in Tokyo state that a dec
laration of war by Japan against Ger
many is expected.
The exact nature Of these reports
cannot be learned, but they receive
general credence in official circles
department.
1t appears that the state depart
ment's representatives have not con
firmed this information, although that
department is understood to be max
ing every effort to obtain definite Of
fetal information of the intentions Of
the Japanese government.
1t is reported that Japan has pre-
pared her fleet and has concentrated
an expeditionary force of 10000 men
for this service. From this informa-
ton it is assumed that the japanese
contemplate an assault upon the Ger
man naval base at Tsing-Tau.
The concentration Of troops is be-
lieved to forecast a Japanese Occupa-
ton of the German leased territory in
China, with its annexation by Japan
as a logical result.
Since China requested the United
States to exert pressure in its behalf
upon the b~elligerent European powers
for the preservation of China's intes
rity and neutrality, the state depart.
ment has been giving close attention
to the far eastern situation. ]. is not
yet, however, decided what action can
be taken. The report shows that Japan
may open hostilities before the United
States has time to act.
News of Japan's aggressive inten-
lions in China did not come as a sur
prise to officials here.

Campaign Grows Hot.

That the judiciary campaign is ex.
citing much more interest among the
people of Lowndes county than il
shown in the contest for congress be.
tween Representative Z. S. Gambler Of
the first district and Hardin H. Brooks,
his only opponent. is the belief of b.
A. Lincoln, chancery clerk of that
county. who was a visitor in Jackson.
Mr.. Lincoln states that the contest
between T. G. Kimbrough, the present
occupant of the circuit bench of the
sixteenth district, and his immediate
predecessor, Judge Thomas p. Carroll,
is decidedly the most lively feature of
the political campaign, and from what
he can gather 1t seems to be about a
tossup between the two as the first
choice in the primary.
While not speaking positively. but
giving the general impression which
seems to exist as to the outcome Of
the Gambler Brooks campaign, it looks
as if the Corinth statesman will be re-
nominated, as he is very strong and
popular throughout the district. How
ever, Mr.. Brooks has made an able
and brilliant campaign. and has GOV
cred the district thoroughly.

BRUSSELS BEING FORTIFIED
25, 1000 Men With Trenehino Tool and
Ordinary Picks and shoveIs Throw
Up Defenses With Fran
tic Speed.

Brussels.-The reinforced German
cavalry has penetrated to Wavre, a
town only Is miles southeast OF Brus'
sells.
Expecting an early attack by this
force on the City Of Brussels Itself, the
government caused the hurried re-
moval of the capital from Brussels t.
Antwerp. The Belgian ministers oi
war, finance and foreign affairs and
the French and Russian ministers to
Belgium have left Brussels for Ant
werp. The affairs Of France and
Russia were left in the hands OF the
Spanish legation.
Brussels, practically an unfortified
city, resounds to the noise Of picks and
shovels, as soldiers and civilians alike
are working to strengthen the de
lenses. The government is preparing
for a long siege, and everything pos
sible is being done to enable the city
to hold out for months against a Ger
man artillery attack.
The removal of the capital to Ant
werp indicates that the Belgian war Of
flee realizes the German troops have
made great gains through the country
to the south and east of the capital,
and bears out the theory that the Ger
man advance is as methodical as a
machine.
Entertainments have been dug across
all the roads leading into the city. The
radius of this line of earthworks has
been extended daily. Fully $4,000 men
with trenching tools and ordinary picks
and shovels have been throwing up
these defenses with frantic speed.

IRON FRONTIER STOPS ARMY

Diversifieation Popular.

For the first time since the land be-
came a state penitentiary farm, under
the control and direction of either the
old board of control of the penltentiary
or the board Of trustees, as under the
present dispensation. the Rankin farm
is making a profitable crop this season
without planting a row OF cotton. The
reasons for this change are obvious.
For the past several years, even with
the high class, modern work which the
state authorities have been able to
use in cultivating a crop of cotton and
the land for cotton growing has gone
from bad TO worse. This was demon
strated last season, when from over
140 acres planted in cotton only four
bales were gathered. Such a ratio OF
production to area cultivated would
he sufficient to bankrupt or otherwise
impoverish any private or free farm.
er, and the p~enitentiary officials wise
ly decided TO ignore cotton altogether,
and use the land for more profitable
crops and agricultural activities, so
much better adapted 10 the worn out
soil.
According to Sergt. O'Keefe. who is
in charge Of the property. who was in
the city on business, the diversified
system Gems to be a decidedly vel
come change. Such land as was cult
waited was planted in oats, corn, peas,
potatoes, sugar ane and forage crops,
which have done fairly we'll this sea
son, and from which much more profit
will be derived than had cotton rails
ing been attempted. In addition to
the general farm crops cultivated, con
siderable attention has been devoted
TO stock raising, including swine, cattle
and mules, which latter has gotten be-
yond the experimental stage.
The same general farming system is
also in operation at Oakley, where 1t
has also been demonstrated that cot.
ton growing is Improbable. AT this
place, under Sergts. DodGs and Foltz,
there has been developed what has
been pronounced as one OF the best
stock farms In the state. which, to-
htNIlti ~ ld4pife anu DItStIN-
ing, is enabling the trustees to handle
the herd much pore profitably, al
though the Oakley ant is rather bet.
ter adapted TO cotton growing than
that OF the Rankin place, owing TO the
fact that II lies in the direct boil Wee
vii zone and required too much land
per bale to be written down as profit
able cultivation.
AS a matter Of fact, with cotton
growing eliminated from both these
places, and tn growing Of the staple
confined ~ the magnificent Parchman
and Belmont properties, the prospects
are tlhf' the penitentiary crop now be-
ing made unless unforeseen difficult
ties and dra. backs intervene, will be
the largest iU the history of the state
farms, for less acreage in the general
summary.

GERMANS NEAR BRUSSELS
Great Battle 10 Close at hand-17,0 900
Men Were Engaged in Fight at
Haelen.

London.-Kaiser Wilhelm's legions
are almost at the gates of Brussels.
and the great battle between them and
the allied troops Of Belgium, France
and England is close at hand.
For two days there has beer desper.
ate fighting and once, as the French
wal office has admitted. the Ger
mans were within Is miles of Brussels
almost near enough for one Of their
great guns to throw a shell into the
city. They reached Louvain, is miles
east of Brussels, where King Albert
of Belgium is in personal charge. But
the allies rallied and drove them back.
The armies have been locked In a
death grapple at Haelen and Diest,
about 80 miles east of Brussels. The
censors have allowed some details of
the first days fighting which was IA
vorable to the allies to be given out.
But this latter struggle was far more
bloody and far more important, and
everything possible is suppressed.
1t is the extreme right wing of the
northern army Of Germany which is
striking Brussels.
It is reported that 1900 men were
engaged around Haelen, and the Ger.
mans fought with the confidence of
men who know that they have strong
support at their back.
1t is insignificant that the German
troops all over Belgium are now seiz
ing passenger trains and sending then
toward the German line.

ITALY HAVING A HARD time
Neutrality Decision Embraces l,,Iy
Encounters Worst Crisis in His.
tory-Nation Afraid of Austria,

Rome.-Italy's position is becomin,
daily more embarrassing. The deci,.
ion of neutrality has divided the M.
ton into two parties. One composed
of radicals and socialists, the tradL
tional enemies Of Austria, completely
approves the governments decision.
The other. comprising the best ele.
ment Of the country, advocates uncon.
ditional support Of Austria and Ger.
many.
Every party, whatever its sympa.
thies, admits that Italy is going
through the worst crisis it ever has
been called to face, and in view OF her
interests in the Adriatic and the Med.
iterannean, she finds herself between
dilemmas and may not be able to re.
main neutral.
In fact, the declaration of neutrality
is now considered only a temporary ex.
pedient. destined to enable Italy to
take a proper stand after a decisive
battle. 1t Is contended that while she
cannot follow Germany in aggressive
war, yet she cannot afford to allow
Austria a preponderating influence in
the Balkans. A German and Austrian
victory would mean realization Of Aus.
tria's old dream of "on to Sa.oniks
whether Greece wants it or not"
II would meal also the possessing
of valona. In this case the Adriatie
would become IN Austrian lake, with
Auseria-Hungary holding the key.

GEN. EMMlCH IS KILLED.
German Leader at Lieee Dead-Waa
Leader Of Tenth Army Corps
FiohtinQ Under Difficulties.

Brussels.-The death of Gen Otto
von Emmich, the German commander
at Liege, has been confirmed. He, is
succeeded by Lieut. Gen. Won Marwltz.
Reports from Liege state that there
is great decentralization among the Ger
man troops and that many Of the Of
ficers and men are committing sui
eide by drowning in the River Meuss.
A great trial has been the heat Of
the last few days, In which sunstroks
has been an additional enemy. The pc
sitions Of the men are exposed, and
the Belgian service headgear is one Of
the least practical.
Gen. Otto Won Emmich was Sc yea1
old. He Joined the army as a volun'
teer In 1866 and was promoted two
years later to a lie~utenancy. He TOOK
part in the Franco Prussian war in
1901. Afterward he was promoted
through all the grades until he became
maj0r-generaf in 1901. When he was
appointed to the command of the
Tenth army corps he was made c gen
eral.

HEALTH OFFICER OF MISSISSIPPI
FEARS RODENTS ACTIVITY.
GIVES WARNING.
NEW ORLEANS PAID PENALTY
Says Present Conditions in New Or
leans Are Result Of Indifference.
Rat Population is About the
Same as the Humans.
- Jackson.

aNRSt
Or. f. II. Galloway, secretary and
executive officer OF the Mississippi
state board of health. sent out to the
mayors of a large number of cities in
the state, a note of warning
as to the possibility Of bubonic plague
infection through rodent activity. DR..
Galloway cites as a fact that New Or
leans is now paying the penalty for in
difference in the past in the matter
of rat determination. and it is now
time that the cities in this state take
some steps to protect their citizens
against bubonic plague; and it is not
at all impossible that rodent infection
now exists in this state"
Or. Galloway traces the history of
the present conditions existing in New
Orleans and its inception W years
ago, when the first plague rat wac
found. and warns Mississippians that
danger of similar conditions c%onfronts
the communities and that 1t behooves
the authorities to take early steps to
exterminate the rodents.
In the course of his communication
Dr. Galloway says:
Even If you do not have infected
rate in your city, the money spent for
this purpose will be an economical ex-
penditure. 1t has been estimated by
many authorities that the rat popula-
tion Of a city is about the same as the
aa.
vestigation, the estimated loss from
rats in Washington, d. C., and Balti-
more, Md, was Sl.27 per inhabitant."

There will be no sacred music con,

This course was definitely decided
when the proposal to have such music
by the Ennis band was made by a

prominent members of the Jackson

that inasmuch as many OF the citizens
who subscribed to the band fund have
expressed their disapproval of Sunday
