The army appropriation bill has
been reported out Of committee and
has been passed practically as amend
ed by the senate. 1t awaits the sig
nature of the president. The bill was
amended in Increasing figures by the
senate, the appropriations provided
for being doubled, and in some places
trebled. The house refused to adopr
seven of the senate amendments.
They are: Is .
Appropriating SIS no, 1884, instead of
SIG. 949, 126, for pay Of enlisted men,
providing for an increase in the stand
ing army of 5000 men. I
Appropriating So, 500, 141.39 instead
of So, 139, 666.39 for Subsistence.
Appropriating $S,155, GEO, instead OF
81, zoe, 900, for quartermasters' corps
regular supplies. z
Appropriating $565,2S5, instead of
$500 900, for horses for cavalry, per-
hitting the recruiting of cavalry regl.
ments to full strength, which has not
been done because of lack Of animals.
Appropriating $6,500, 900, instead OF
SIS, 700 900 for clothing and equipage.
Appropriating 100000, instead OF
$3.50, 900, for field artillery for organ
lied militia. $50. -
Appropriating $3,O00,O00, instead Of
81 900 .0ea. for ammunition for field ar
tillery, organized militia.
The seven raises aggregated $6.-
5000 900 and this was the difference
over which the house and the senate
disagreed. With the bubble settled
and the bill before the president for
signature, the army officials are reas-
sured, for now there are available the
funds for the purchase Of additional
field artillery to protect the infantry
and cavalry in action.

GERMANY POSSESSION
 IN CHINA PROSPEROUS

Inexcusable as was the seizure and imperialistis control of Kiau Chau by Germany yet it has made the colony the best illustration of a despotism that is truly benevolent. The German ad- .ministration established reforms that every democratic government would do well to initiate. During the period of it's occupancy the German govern ment has refrained from levying op- pressive taxes and checked land spec ulat on. The colony was made free port and colonial revenue has been derived from a B 1s per cent incre- ment tax and an annual tax of six per cent on land values irrespective of improvements. Under this system Kiau Chau has prospered as has no other place on the Chinese coast. From 1900 to 1912 it's imports increas- ed almost 200 fold and it's exports a little less than 800 fold. In 1900 the nearby port of Chifu had thirty times the imports of Kiau Chau and sixty times the exports. In 1912 it had but half the imports and half the exports. During the same period the imports of the important port of Shanghai fell off sixteen per cent and exports in- creased but five per cent. Now the source of this prosperity is endanger- ed by the needless war.

WARS HORRORS ARE
 NOW VULNERABLE

PINCKNEYVILLE, H., Sept. B. Dispatches received here tell of in- numerable horrors resulting from the great conflict on the European conti- nent It is reported that the Russian troops captured a town in eastern Germany, burned the breweries and turned the beer into the gutters.. A detachment of Austrians is reported as having made mad dash across the Alps into Switzerland and confis- cated all the cheese. The left wing of the German army is reported as having overwhelmed the Preach near Paris, dam (n) ed the river Seine and poisoned all the frogs. And thus it goes all along the the line we hear of disaster which even us cool-headed Americans cannot bear to think of without a shudder.

NATIONAL DEBTS GAN
 NEVER BE FULLY PAID

David Starr Jardan's book shows that the nationa debt of France, before the war, amounted to six thousand millions of dollars, with an annual interest burden of two hundred and forty millions and that the war debt of Europe today exceeds twenty-seven thousand millions of dollars with a yearly interest of over thousand mill lions, of which he truly says:
 ''The debt never will be paid; can never be paid. The interest is be- yond the capacity of the people. The worlds annual production of gold little more than one-third of the in terest money due in Europe. The worlds entire stock of gold is lfttIe more than one-fourth of the war debt of Europe.
 Besides the vast sums demanded as interest are old debts; the annual expenditure of the world on armies and navies in these times of peace exceeds $4,OOO, O,OOOOOO every year. This is extended by taxation, a present load on industry and commerce over and above all demands made by the war debt, which no man and no na- tion ever intends to pay" \

VILLA WILL ASSIST
 IN RESTORING ORDER

General Carranza entered the City of Mexico on August 20. According to reports, he was most enthusiastic cally received by the people. Perfect order has prevailed in the city since the installation of the Constitutional regme. On August 24, General Villa, stationed at Chihuahua, issued the fol- lowing statement concerning his rela- tions with Carranza:
 "I have no personal feeling in this matter against Carranza. This coun- try should not again be under military government-the armies by our coEsti- tuition are secondary to the constituted government, and it is now time that We should be governed by it's people.
 Il desire the moral help of the American people in this political fight l am new waging. I consider myself the moral champion to procure by all honorable means for my down-trodden countrymen justice, at the same time showing them their obligations toward law and order"

TRIES FOR SENATOR
 WITHOUT TAMMANY

Direct election of United States senators at last makes it possible for New York state to secure a member of the upper house without any deal with either Tammany or Republican party bosses. The candidacy of MT. Franklin D. Roosevelt for the Demo cratic nomination is one that would hardly have been taken seriously in the days when Murphy-Barnes legislature did the choosing. While MT. Roosevelt's economic studies may not have been as thorough as a United States senator's ought to be, his is the type of mind that will not shrink from advocacy of any truth, once he has grasped it. He may well be classed as a genuine democrat so far IS the deepest sympathy can make any one democratic, and so far as his economic knowledge leads.

RELIEF WORKERS TELLS 0F HORRORS 0F WAR

PARIS, Sept 3.-Mrs. Herman n. Harjas, wife of Paris banker, who, with other American women, has been deeply interested in relief work, visit ed the North railroad station today and was shocked by the sights she saw among the Belgian refugees.
 "The station" said Mrs. Har1as. presented the aspect of a shambles. It was the saddest sight I ever saw. It is impossible to believe the tortures and cruelties the poor unfortunates had undergone
 T saw many boys with both hands cut off so that it was impossible tor them to carry gun. Everywhere there was filth and utter desolation. The helpless little babies lying on the cold, wet cement floor was enoush to bring the hot tears to any mothers eyes.
 Mothers were vainly beseaching the authorities for milk or soup. A mother with twelve children said: What is to become of us? It seems impossible to suffer more. I saw r;y husband bound to a lamp post He was gagged and being tortured with bayonets. When I tried to interc ads in his behalf I was knocked uncon- scious with his rifle by a soldier. I never saw him again."

The older world is warped with war And hot with hate are those who rule. What tho our younger blood may stir. The call rings down our ranks:
 Keep Cool" Keep cool-a mans advice to men; Keep cool, tho others maddened~ be. We learnt our bitter lessons when We paid our price in
 SiXty-three. Who keenest feels the soldiers fall? The eye-wet widow of the fool Whose blood famed at trumpet call, And needed not the words,
 Keep cool" Keep cool-thus can we hold crown Of wisdom won through ages gone. Forget the call-the world rolls down Into the savage age
 Of stonei We stand today for all men know Of science, law and Golden Rule. Though foolish nations be aglow With frenzied war, Keep cool!

WHAT AMERICANS SAY
 0N MISSIONS IN CHINA

The San Francisco Associated Cham Der of Commerce sent representa- tive party of merchants to China in the endeavor to promote better feel ing of friendship between China and America, and also to increase and de velop our commercial relations.
 Seeing that the Chinese missionaries were the pioneers of commerce in China, the commissioners were unan- imously drawn into the consideration of this subject, which at the start was considered entirely outside their pro- vince.
 At first they were divided in their opinions about one-third in favor, One-third against, anr one-third unde- cided.
 But at the last meeting held in Hongkong the question was put squarely to the twenty-five comm1s. sioners and unanimous vote record ed in favor of missions.
 In the opinion of the commission, If the missionaries had not pioneered the way the commerce of China would be very small indeed, and it certainly would not be safe for for eigners to go into the interior.
 This was the candid opinion of 25 of the leading merchants of the Pac- fife coast. selected from Spokane to San Diego.
