In the western theater of the war
the French official statement says a
vigorous offensive in the region of
Arras enabled the allies to occupy Ger
man trenches at Auchy, La Bassee,
ST Laurent and Blangy. AT the last
mentioned place the allies occupied
almost all of the first line trenches.
All German attacks at Auchy and La
Bassee were repulsed, according to
the French statement, which indicates
the allies foot by foot are forcing the
Germans out of their positions in
Flanders and Northern France.
Both Sides on Offensive.
In the region of Tracy-Le-val, on
the Aisne river. and in Champagne. the
French statement says, the French
heavy artillery won distinct advan.
tages. In the Argonne forest the Ger
mans blew up French trench to the
north of Four de Paris and endeavor-
ed to move out from their position
with three battalions of troops. This
infantry attack, as well as one under
taken at st. Hubert. was repulsed. To
the east of the Meuse river and in
the Vosges, the French statement
says, ther els nothing to report This
statement would indicate that often
sive movements are not confined ex-
clusively to the allies in the western
theater.
The British press naturally makes
a feature of the annexation of Egypt

Electricity in Chicken Growing.

The Daily Mail. of London,
England, has published the re-
suits of experiments in using
electricity in forcing the growth
Of young chickens. On a large
poultry farm in the south Of
England. according to the Daily
Mail, 500 chickens in two equal
lots were used. Four hundred
were treated by the electric sys-
tenn and grew to marketable size
in five weeks. Only six of them
died. OF the other 400, about
half died, and it took the survi-
vors three months to reach a
marketable age. Advantages of
the electric stimulus applied, are
that the chickens remain healthy
in crowded conditions and can be
raised in any season, according
to the report of the English ex-
periments, which will be tried
out again on a larger scale in the
near future.

To Pension Leigh Hunts Daughter.
The long memory OF British

ously illustrated in ,hc new list

the daughter of the late Leigh

irrelevance, since the g.. It. critic WAS
born in 1884 and died in :8o?. He and

A Salvation Army Soup Kitch-
en- is the latest thing out. The
army in Roanoke, Virginia, has
undertaken to supply free lunch
es to the hungry there. Speak
ing about the affair, Capt. Jones
asked if the men who are seeking
help were stragglers from out
side Roanoke Or men who lived
there. He said: Most of them
are men who have been employ.
ed here and have been thrown
out of work by the reduction of

cratic administration on. there
was nothing else to do but plan
a soup kitchen. And hence it
may be said that Democracy has
lived to see the day when We had
free trade, free soup and free
salvation.

That legislatures can act With
a spirit of prejudice is shown IN
the constitutional amendment
to put a check upon the people
acting for themselves through
the initiative and referendum
to be submitted to the people of
Missouri at the coming general
election. This amendment is
submitted as a restraint upon
the single tax movement, but In
striking at the singletaxers the
legislature struck at all direct
legislation. If this amendment
is adopted no question that has
been submitted under the initla-
tive and referendum and defeat
ed by the people can again be
submitted within five years.
It is altogether improbable that
once a question is defeated by
the people it's friends would be
in haste to resubmit it, particu
larly when the majority against
it is as large as was the vote or
the single tax amendment in this
state in 1912; but a peculiar fea1
of the single tax idea seemed to
possess it's enemies in the legls
lature and the tiveyear restric
tion was passed by big MAORI
ty. The people, irrespective OF
their feeling on the single ia y
question, should register an EN-
phatic protest next Novembe1
against this restraint upon thei1
rights and privileges.

A bill, by Hensley of Nilsson
ri, to prohibit the importation OF
goods, wares and merchandise
made in whole or in part, bv cor
Wet, pauper or detained labor,
has been reported to the House.
This bill strikes right out from
the shoulder for the protection
of the American laborer. The
Republicans have howled their
heads off for high tariff for the
protection of the poor working
man against the pauper labor of
Europe, but it was left for
young Missouri Democrat to
start something really worth
while. Hurrah for Hensley,
Missouri and Democracy.-De-
Soto Press.
Hum! Every time Congress-
man Hensley makes a move, oft
en- more foolish than otherwise,
the Press goes into ecstasies over
it. What's the use trying to pick
a mote out of one eye while we
have a beam In the other? The
Democratic tariff has opened the
county to goods of foreign man
ufacture in competition with our
home industries, with the result
that million or more American
workmen are now out of employ
ment. Only the minutest portion
of this flood of foreign made
goods comes from the hands OF
convict labor, and to prohibit it
from entry at our ports would
have about as much effect upon
the whole as picking up single
grain from all the sands of the
sea shore. Mr.. Hensley is friyo
lous. His strike from the
shoulder for the protection OF
our American Labor" is on pal
with his effort to throw down the
naval defenses of his country
He voted to throw open the gates
to free trade and now he ha.
whitfield a plug in his anti-paup
er-made goods bill with which t.
check the ever-growing tide tina
is swamping home industry. w

The Earth's Interior.

A strictly scientific contrlhu
tiun to knowled &c, in the form of
discussion of some of the re-
suits Incidental to the triangula-
eion work done by the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, is presented by
Grove Kari Gilbert, nf the United
States Geological Survey, in t
short paper on the "1nterpIet;t-
tion of Anomalies of Gravity" ;"
recently published by the Geo
logical Survey as Part c of Pro
fessional Paper So.
After stating the anomalies of
gravity, which are also express
ed graphically on the map Of the
United States accompanying the
paper, Mr.. Gilbert discusses the
Interpretation of these anomalies
under the assumption Of imper-
feet isostatic adjustment, vertl-
cal heterogeneity of the crust,
and variation of depth of com
pensation. The geologic ,rela
tions suggested by the map show
ing the geographic distribution
of the anomalies are next set
forth.
The speculative nature of this
scientific contribution is well ex-
pressed by Mr.. Gilbert in he
few sentences that introduce the
section discussing Interpretation
by nucleal heterogeneity.
"The inner earth is the inalien-
able playground of the imaglna-
ton. Once it contained the forg
es of blacksmith gods; or it was
the birthplace Of our race, Or the
home or prison of disembodied
spirits.
Later Symmes followed from
it vast habitable empire, con

Science now claims exclusive
purposes; and the freedom oi
speculation practically recognIz
es but two limitations: The in
ner earth is dense, and it is rig

opinion is untrammeled.
1t is my own view that the IN
lner part of the nucleus Is not
merely hot, but very hot. Ii the

and the law of expansion by heat,
