DonaId's Sharp Eyes Had Noticed
Animal That None Of the Class
Recognized.

The class of little people were tell.

Each one was allowed to describe an
animal and the others were to guess
the name. Donald anxiously awaited
his turn. When 1t came he began with
enthusiasm: "Why, it's . great, big.
clumsy animal with . thick hide and
tail like rope. 1t has little eyes
close together, big, Happy ears. long

Here he was interrupted by many
eager to guess.

permitted to speak.
NO." said Donald, stolidly.
The class searched their brains for
other guesses and even the teacher
was puzzled. Finally all gave up"

Ammunition Used In War.

How much ammunition does a mod
ern army use? We shall not know
until after the war what the German
and the allied forces have been e1.
pending; but We know what the Ger
mans used in 1901. The total for
rifles was 100000 cartridges, for
neld artillery $4,000 rounds. It Is
worth noting that battles are much
less costly in ammunition than sieges.
Inc siege of Strassburg alone cost,
weight for weight, three times the
amount of ammunition used in all the
decisive battles and actions through.
out the whole war. OF course these
ngures are a mere basatelle com.

Its quick-firing guns and its week-long

Petrograd, Dec. 29.-Russian forces
according to advices received Monday
from Galicia, succeeded in crossing
the Biala river and in taking posses.

south Of Tuchow, thereby separating
the two Austrian armies. The two
forces Of Gen. Boehm-Ermolli, the
Austrian commander, are claimed by
the Russians to be retreating precipi

is said to be badly crippled.
The premature appearance OF Gen.

Russians on their guard and the Rus.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The United
States government dispatched a long
early improvement in the treatment OF
American commerce by the British
fleet II gave warning that much feel
ing had been aroused in this country
and that public criticism was general
over unwarranted interference with
the legitimate foreign trade OF the
United States.
The document. constituting the
strongest representation on this sub
ject made by the United States to any
of the belligerents since the outbreak
of the war, was cabled to Ambassador
Page. to be formally presented 10 Sir
Edward Grey, British foreign secre-
tary. Its preparation was begun a
month ago by Solicitor Cone Johnson.
Counsellor Robert Lansing and Secre-
tary Bryan, AID finally had the per-
sonal attention of President Wilson.
who revised its phraseology with mi
mute care.
AS the detailed point of view of the
United States in numerous specific
cases of detentions and seizures OF car
goes had been set forth in series Of
emphatic protests. most OF which have
gone unheeded, Mondays communica-
ton was couched in general terms
covering the entire subject of the re-
lations between the United States and
Great Britain as affected by the lat
ter's naval policy considered highly OBJ
jectionable by this government.
Since France has adopted practi-
cally the same DEGREES on contraband
as has Great Britain. the note is vir-
tually statement intended for all the
members Of the triple entente.
The note declares at the outset that
the representations are made in a
friendly spirit, but that the United
States considers it best to speak in
terms Of frankness, lest silence be
as an acquiescense in pol
icy which infringed the rights of
American citizens under the laws of
nations.
The document points out that COM
plants on every side and public criti-
cism in the United States hold the
British policy as directly responsible
for the depression in many industries,
a situation the seriousness of which
must be apparent to Great Britain.
Reimbursement alone for cargoes
detained or seized, it states,
does not remedy the evil, as the chief
is the moral effect of Brit
ish practice on American exporters,
who are restrained by it from taking
risks or hazards, which in no case
ought to surround legitimate trade be-
tween the United States and other
neutral countries.
Feeling has been aroused on the sub
tect to such an extent, the communica-
tion adds. that the American govern
ment feels compelled to ask for defi-
mite information as to Great Britain's
in order that it may take
such measures as will protect Ameri-
can citizens in their rights.

EIGHTH DISTRICT NEEDS HIM

I'VE heartily endorse the candidacy
Of the Hon. H. E. Valentine for Rep
resentatiye in Congress from the
Eighth Iowa District.
we hereby express our absolute
confidence in his ability and integrity
and our belief in his progressive Dem.
ocratic principles and hereby COM
mend him to the voters of the Eighth
Iowa District, believing that by rea.
son of his peculiar fitness for the
position he would be of great value
to the Administration and by his un-
firing efforts would reflect credit upon
his constituents"
(Resolution adopted at the Appa-
moose County convention June 22d,
1914.)
H. E. Valentine, the democratic
nominee for Congress in the Eighth
Iowa district, we find by consulting
history, was born at Edin5urg, 1ndi-
ana, November Goth, 1865.
He was graduated from De Paw
University, one of the Hoosier states
most important universities in 1886
and came to Centerville to engage in
the practice of law in 1894, having
been located in Appanoose now for
twenty years.
He was elected Mayor Of Centerville
in 1897, resigning from this position
to enlist as a private in Co. E Of the
50th Iowa Regiment, at the call Of
President Mckinley for volunteers for
the Spanish war.
He served with this regiment until
It was mustered out OF service, when
he settled down again in Centerville
and resumed the practice Of law be-
fore a bar which easily learned to
recognize him as one of its most eff
Client leaders.
He gained added reputation as
trial lawyer when he assisted the
county attorneys of Appanoose and
Union counties in the prosecution Of a
number Of persons indicted for con.
spiracy to commit arson.
These prosecutions were so ably
and vigorously conducted that they re-
suited in the breaking up Of organiz-
ed bands Of ire bugs in these coun-
ties.
Mr.. Valentine is a Knight Templar
and Mystic Shriner and for number
Of years was Eminent Commander Of
st. Johns Commandery at Center
vile.
He is In every respect qualified for
the Office he seeks and we commend
him to the voters Of our District
Centerville Journal.
The war between Hepburn and the
sCummins factions in Iowa is going to
be an asset to Mr.. Valentine in his
race for Congress this year. We won

voters Of the Eighth District realize
what sort Of q candidate they have

not only an unusually good lawyer,
but he has been a close student Of
political affairs.
Mr. Valentine really knows what the
people of the Eighth District need
and he has the courage and ability 10
make himself heard.
So the voters Of the District must
not think that he was nominated by
accident with no other purpose in view
than merely to fill the ticket; he was
nominated because he is big enough
to do the job and do it right He will
be heard from before the campaign is
finished and those who are not &C
quainted with him will learn that he

merit Centerville Sun, July II.
Queries for Eighth District Voters.
The present congressional campaign
is one of principles rather than par.
ties.
The democratic party has been in
power eighteen months, during which
time there has been enacted more pro-
gressive, constructive and remedial
legislation than was ever before enact
ed in many times the same number Of
months.
The present representative from the
Eighth District is finishing his second
term and is candidate for reelection.
During his first term he did not have
chance to show by his vote Just where
he stood. He, however, voted for the
ne-Aldrich-Smoo tariff bill, which
two years ago was repudiated by prac-
tically 70 per cent Of the voters of this
District.
By their votes $4,000 of the $4,000
voters of the District said they favor
ed an honest revision Of the tariff
downward
The question is not so much is our
representative democrat or a repub-
lican, but will he honestly represent
us and vote as we wish.
Was our member of congress repre-
senting his District when he failed to
vote for the Underwood tariff bill?
Revenue must be raised somehoW
and did our representative have the
interests Of his constituents at heart
when he worked against the Income
tax law which provides $100,OO0,000.
90 to help defray the expenses Of OUT
government and which would be met
by those most able to pay?
For years complaint has been more
against our inelastic currency. Why
could not our representative see fit
to vote for the currency bill, which
meets the approval of all and the pro
visions OF which have been accepted
by practically all of our National
banks, and which undoubtedly pre-
vented money panic at the breaking
out of the European war.
Do not you voters favor every one
of these measures?
Would you go back to the Infamous
schedule Of the Payne bill?
Would you repeal the income tax
Slaw, or the currency bill?
Was your representative voting as
you would nave voted?
President Wilson has worked tire
lessly and with sincerity entirely
new to our political life for what he
thought vas the best interests of all
OF US.
He worked increasingly, without .
vacation, day in and day out, for the
rank and file and not for any CLIQUE
or group.
Are you for him or against him?
He has yet two years to serve, do
you want to approve what he has done
and encourage him to continue hia
work?
President Wilson is not candidate
but vote for H. e. Valentine fol-
