MILITIA MUST TOE MARK.
No Federal Aid Unless State Troops
 Meet Regular Army Rules.

Meet Regular Army Rules.
 Washington.-The militia of the sev- eral states will have to conform to the standards of tho regular army. so far as organization is concerned. or forfeit federal aid as provided under the Dick law. This announcement was made by the war department in circular issued from the office of the chief of staff.
 The issuance of the circular resulted from the failure of officers of the Mas sachusetts state militia to conform strictly to the standards of the regular army in organization Upon orders from the war department the officers were instructed to turn into the adju- tant general of Massachusetts all gov. ernment property, such as rifles and other pieces of ordnance.

TRANSPLANTlNG ORGANS.

The members of the lnternatlon- al Surgical Association agree "lth Dr Alexis Carrel that it is not yet safe to transplant into human beings organs from other animals organs have been transplanted from one per- son to another, but they soon ceased to functionate. When transplanted from one part of human body 10 another part of the same body,ho"- ever, organs have continued to dls- charge their functions properly. lls- sues also may continue to grow when interchanged between individuals of different species, as instanced Tn the recent engrafting of pigs cornea upon a human eye. Surglcally, the transplanting of organs is success full" to the extent that the technl- que for attaching them in their new sites is perfected. The problem to make them continue to functionate IS purely biological, and methods are now being learned to prevent the or panism reacting against the tissue of foreign organs.
 The quest has been fruitful. Dr. James B. Murphy, working i'll the Rockefeller Institutes laboratories, has found out why foreign tissue un- dergoes no injurious change if lm- nlanted in the embryo of chicks, and why it degenerates between the eighteenth day of incubation and the first day of life outside the shell. lie noted that the embryo received the foreign tissue with complete toler- ance, but suddenly a refractory con- dition" supervened, quickly attaining full destructive powers. It was the deyelopment of parts in chicks and rats, such as the spleen and bone marrow, that signalized the destruct- i've action. When they were remov- ed or their action overcome by the use of drugs or X-rays, the period of toleration of the foreign tissue was greatly heightened.
 It would be of high consequence to surgery, of course, if the tissues and organs of the lower animals could be made serviceable in the bodily econ omy of man. For it is the failure or some organ, like the liver, kidney, or heart, that often occasions death when the rest of the body is in work able condition A revolution in sur yical methods has already been ac- complished by the marvellous feats of autoplasty, whereby the same or gans have been returned to the body from which they were taken, bones transplanted from the leg to mend de- fleets of the jaw or spine, and skin. nerves, and tissue made to serve in sites where repair was vital. The ad- vantage to be attained by using live material from animals for this pur- pose is great and obvious. Progress sively, by methods which none but the antivivisectionists decry, this es- sentially humanitarian work is be- ing done-Ex.

Of berries. I guess I better go look
after them" he muttered Now. Farm
err Browns Boy believes in doing a
thing when you first think of it. So he
didn't wait to take so much as a bite
of one of those thick sandwiches. but
started to look after his precious ber-
ries. He had worked too hard to get
them to take any chances of losing
them.
Now it just happened that that very
day. when Buster Bear and Farmer
Browns Boy had decided to 20 berry
ing in the Old Pasture, some one else
had decided to have a look around nm
there. 1t was Old Man Coyote. He had
been promising himself for some time
that he would run up there and see if
he couldn't surprise old Jed Thumper.
the big gray Rabbit, who, you know,
was the father of little Mrs. Peter
Rabbit. But old Jed Thumper was not
to be surprised. Old Man Coyote hunt
ed long time before he found old Jed
Thumper, and then he was safe in his
bull brier castle. Hot. tired and dis

must have a drink and headed for the
very spring where Farmer Browns
Boy had planned to eat his lunch. He
got there just in time to see Farmer
Browns Boy disappearing among the
pushes on his way to look after his
berries.

While reviewing the lighter losses We

was about $50,000,00O. While the dia-

Whom the Gods Would Destroy.

from the independent.
Ancient history closed at midnight of
July 81, 1914. The rnonstrous war with
which modern history begins will end
as the big and little wars of the old
days did. This is hard to realize now,
but the sooner those men upon whom
will fall the duty Of shaping a new
order of things begin to think about
all concerned.
There will be some accounts to be
settled after peace is declared. and the
biggest one will be that which enlight-
eminent has against medievalism.
Whatever causes of strife may have
been lurking in the minds Of the peo-
pies of Europe, they would not have
massed and exploded in this demoniac
war without the agency of the head
devils. Race differences there are.
Conflicting national interests there are.
The growth of population, already
dense and looking for new opportuni-
ties for enterprise and livelihood, has
been disturbing economic equilibrium
Religious. antagonists have fostered
hatred. But none of these things by
itself. nor all of them in combination,
would have made war if the consuming
vanity the monstrous egotism and the
Observation-Disclosures of the absolute
monarchs had not been thrown into the
scale.
Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad. Mad with the lust of
power, drunk with their own egotism,
the head devils have signed their own
doom.

Two Predictions.

From the Toronto Star.
Tennyson, in Locksley Hail. more than
seventy years ago. dipped into the
future far as human eye could see, saw
the vision of the world and all the won
der that would be-" He saw In that
vision Of the future the parliament Of
man, the federation of the world. Today
men still speak OF the federation of the
world as a millennial dream. But re-
member that in that same poem Of
Locksley Hall, Tennyson predicted air
ships:
Saw the heavens fill with commerce.
argosies of magic sails,
Pilots Of the purple twilight, dropping
down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting,
and there rained a CHASTITY dew
From the nations airy navies Crap
ping in the central blue
Suppose man had been asked in 1872
when this poem appeared, (which OF
the airship, or the parliament OF MANI"
We are inclined to think that the average
man would have answered that the air
ship was by far the wilder dream. Yet
the airship has come There has rained
CHASTITY dew from the nations airy
navies graphing in the central blue"
1t is very remarkable that this pre-
diction, now fulfilled, was Immediately
followed by that Of the universal reign
of the common sense of work. the
furled battle flags and the parliament of
man. Is 1t likely that mankind will ever
again allow Europe to be SO misgoverned
as to lead to another scene Of carnage
and woe such as we are witnessing to-
day? Evidently the poet and seer who
predicted the airship and the aerial battle
had a vision that the world would be
forced to organize and to substitute
order for anarchy.

distance of 26,613 miles and was relayed
l6 times.
At the opening of the Pacific cable in
1900 President Roosevelt sent a message
around the world in 91a minutes. This
message, however. was given right Of
way over everything and the operators
had been warned in advance not to de-
nary commercial message.
1t Is hard to imagine the conditions
which preceded the opening Of the first
cable We can get some idea of them
from the conditions which now prevail
where the battle news is SO strictly CEN
sored that We can merely sense what is
going on at the front. Certainly the
americans who are awaiting news Of
relatives and friends marooned at differ
ent points in Europe, and especially In
Germany, would have Jared as we'll, SO
far as quick information Is concerned. if
they had been dependent upon the clipper
ship carrying mails and ''advices''
Despite the fact that facilities for quick
communication have increased immeasur-
ably there is good evidence that .he his
torian and not the reporter must be de-
pening only a few minutes away by cable
We fear, too, that the historian will have
almost as much difficulty in getting to-
gether precise and dependable data as he
did In ancient times. For the war lords
who have tried to blind the eyes and
throttle the voice of the press in this
greatest struggle of all times will proba-
bly, be reluctant to tell the exact, i'm
mediate causes of the war. Further, to
along Il battle line of go miles in length
would take an army, of reporters with
the freest use of the wire and the tele-
graphic code.

TRAVELETTE
BY NIKsAH.
XXXvII.

Rumors of war have surged and
beaten for weeks around Warsaw, the
former capital Of the Poles. This great
fortress Of a genially anarchistic race
was named several times in the early
dispatches as being the objective of
vast German and Austrian armies
However. war probably will have little
new, excitement to offer the people of
Warsaw, where the American exer-
else" has been known, appreciated and
fully understood ever since Russia
transferred part of her administra-
tive abilities to this conquered city.
Despite a long familiarity with the
American exercise'-as the Russians
understand it-Warsaw has remained
gay and irrepressible. The American
exercise" be it explained, consists in
pushing a pair of willing hands aloft
at word of command reinforced by a
heavy caliber revolver. This exercise
is administered by secret agents of the
Russian police to all suspected of hav-
ing Independent political notions. 1t
takes place all over the town at any
time of the day or night when a police
agent and conspirator meet by
chance.
The American exercise" has been
quite common on the Warsaw streets
for many years. The Poles are natu-
rally conspiring people. better con-
spirators than administrators, as they
demonstrated several times during
their history as a sovereign people.
Wherever three Poles meet in Europe
there are assembled on one spot twice
as many brands of subterranean poll
tics. Hence. the popularity of the ia
vorite american exercise
the Poles have never ceased their
plots against Russia and all things
Russian since their beloved capital has
formed an outpost of the giant empire
They have given to anarchy. nihilism
and all the other isms Of anti-Russian
dye the best of their time and strength
But beyond this and despite the beauty
Of the august city, our tourists wonder
why American exercise?"

W.-Some Things
Well Miss.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

During the progress and suffering of
the titanic European struggle. it is,
probably, a bit selfish to review the
lesser sacrifices which we will be call
ed upon to make. Especially is this
true, as out of our sacrifices we may
extract many valuable lessons, and, ul-
tinately, many great advantages.
One thing the war will certainly ac-
complish for this country if carried on
for any length Of time, and that is
to bring our independence of Europe
to it's full maturity. 1t will serve to
teach the native American of New
York, Philadelphia and San francisco
that the Chicago sausage tastes just
as good with a Chicago trademark
as it does when labeled from Vienna
There are, however. a number OF
things only, or mostly, or only proper
ly made abroad of which this country
consumes great quantities. and many
OF these things. pertain to the luxuries
struction goes on these tribes will en-
tirely disappear from our market OF,
be replaced with other articles just as
good. but lacking in the true tone of
the accustomed foreign imports.
For example, pearl. glass and dress
buttons are made nowhere so well as
they are made abroad, and along about
next winter American women will begin
to fret over matchless shades of jet and
ivory, over pearl that is too obviously
pearly and over jet that Is too deadly

Farmer Browns Boy Forgets
His Lunch.

Farmer Browns Boy has. nimble nm
gers. They fairly flew as he picked
the luscious big blueberries up in the
Old Pasture Not one did he put In his
mouth because-well-beca he knew
that if he gut one in he would put two
in, and If he put two in he would put
three in. In short, he knew that II he
once tasted them he would fill his
stomach before he did his pail, and that
wasn't what he had come for. so ne
shut his mouth firmly and thought OF
that berry pie his mother had prom
Used him. Thinking of that pie and
how good it would taste made 1t easier
not to think of the berries themselves.
And all the time he picked and picked
as fast as ever he could. and little by
little the pail filled.
when I've got it full and heaping
up I'll eat my lunch and then II! eat
all the berries want before go
home" thought he.
At last the pail was full, heaping
full. He gave long sigh of satisfac-
ton and pride as he carefully sat IL
down in the shade of big bush, Then
him and started for certain spring
of clear, bubbling, cold water, or
which he knew and which was not Iar
away When he reached 1t he opened
the paper in which his lunch was wrap
ned and took out two thick sandwich
es. He put these on fiat stone close
by the spring. Then he stretched him
self fiat on the ground and plunged
his hot face in the cool water While he
drank and drank.
He had just lifted his dripping face
for breath when he heard noise back
where he had left that pail Of ber-
ries 1t sounded as II some big animal
was over there Now, there were some
hean
into the Old Pasture to spend the sum
mer there, and right away he guessed
that one of them had wandered over
where he had left his berries.
