BY John T. Mcfarland.
A beautiful little volume bound
in gray, white and gold and contain
ing about three dozen beautiful po-
ems. The following is entitled
BE Merciful."
Once ran my prayer as runs the
brook
Ger pebbles and through sunny
meads;
No pain my Utmost spirit shook,
Words broke in shadows of small
needs.
But now the shadows on me lie,
Deep-cut the channel of the years;
And prayer is but a sobbing cry
Through whitened lips and falling
tears.
Not glibly but with broken speech,
o God, My God, | pray to thee;
Enough if now | may beseech
Be merciful, O God, to me!

The Cost of a Promise

By Mrs. Baillie Reynolds.
The Cost of a Promise has been
divided into three parts; the making,
the keeping. and the cost. This is
another English love story. Ger
maine's father died when she was
very young. Her mother was weak
woman, the daughter of wealthy
Englishman who disowned her when
she ran away and married French
man, and she spent her time weep
ing for past luxuries. Germaine
spends much of her time with the
neighbors who teach anarchism.
The child is invited to visit her
paternal grandmother who lived
with a step-son. While there the
child is prejudiced against her host,
and one night she attempts to kill
him. The man realizes the gravity
of the situation and makes the child
promise never to tell of the attempt
co murder. Later she begs to be
released from the promise but he
holds her to it.
The plot is splendid and the story
is told in a very interesting manner

figure of an apple. blossom, with all
its petals spread; for it was from
this lovely pink and white blossom
the apple was formed-a tiny green
ball at first, such as you see in the
spring if you look when the petals
have just fallen. AS the little green
apple grew it kept in its heart the
image of the blossom-the mother
- and now that it is ripe, the image
is there, just as the springtime left
it, Commoner.

The Woman in the Above"

Inc woman IN the Above.
By Jennette Lee.
Eldridge Walcott was absorbed in
making a fortune and in his efforts
to accumulate he was very stingy
with his wife and children. One
day he goes into a fashionable cafe
on business and discovers his wife,
richly and becomingly dressed, alone.
in an alcove. He knows he has not
provided the clothes and infers what
many men would but instead of ac-
cusing her he realizes how niggard-
ly he has been and determines to
win her back. The situation is I'M
usual but the original little story
brings out the best there is in men
and women. The wife was innocent
and the story has a ma ppy ending.

BY Edwin Markham, Judge Lindsey
and Geo. Creel.
An authoritative, up-to-date rep-
resentation of the child labor prob
lem in this country, embodying the
results of extensive and reliable in
vestigations. The census of 1900
revealed the fact that about two
million little children in this country
were wage earners. In some cases
the work is light but in many cases
they are working under conditions
that mean death to many of them
every year, others have ruined
health or MANNED bodies. Condi-
tions in the cities are not merely
discussed. but the question of child
labor, its causes, its crimes. and its
cures are given and the efforts being
made by the National Child Labor
Committee and other large organi-
cations to improve the pitiful con-
ditions are outlined.
These men are acknowledged
authority on the industrial problems
of the time and this work is approved
by the leaders of the various Child
Welfare leagues in this and other
countries.

La Toilette Turns to
Presidential Plans
Special to The Telegraph

Milwaukee, wis, Sept. 3.-United
States Senator Robert M. La Toilette,
beaten through his proxy candidates
in Tuesdays primary, now will turn
his attention to his candidacy for the
1916 presidential nomination, and soon
will come West to open his prepa-
rations for an early campaign for his
own advancement. The result of Tues
days election, in which the conserv-
ative Philip defeated the La Toilette
candidate for Governor, and the Bull
Mooser McGovern defeated La Fol-
lette's candidate for the United States
Senate, will not change La FolletteS
presidential plans
Announcement that La Toilette would
be a candidate for the nomination for
President was made some time ago.
He desires to visit Wisconsin before
the Republican platform convention to
make arrangements for starting his
presidential campaign. A meeting is
to be held in Chicago or in Washing
ton some time before the first of jan
uary for the purpose of making or
ganization plans.
It is said to be probable that the
senator will deliver speeches this COM
ing winter in the western States and
the intention is that his campaign
shall begin in the West and gradually
extend to the East. 1t is also likely
that Senator La Toilette will have a
literary campaign started in his favor
within the next few months and head
quarters esta blished early in the new
year. 1t is said the senator is hoping
for the Endorsement of several western
States in the course of the winter.

Washington Hears of
Withdrawal of Wing

Washington. D. c., Sept S.-Advices
of the withdrawal of the left wing of
the allies toward Paris and the re-
moval of the French capital to Bor-
deauX was contained in a private dis
patch received at the French embassy
to-day from Paris. The cablegram
bears yesterdays date.
"On account of the turning move
ment of the Germans toward our left
wing and in order not to accept battle
under conditions which might have
been unfair, our troops withdrew
toward the south and southwest" 1t
says. The situation remains the
same in the center and on our right.
In Western Prussia two Russian army
corps have suffered a reverse, but one
that can be repaired between 27th and
29th. The investing of Koenigsberg
and Eastern Prussia is now nearly
complete"
The dispatch adds that at the re-
quest of the commanding general at
Paris, who feared the presence of the
governor might hamper his defense of
the city, the capital would be re-
moved from Paris to Bordeaux

Che Foo, China, Sept. 3, $40 P. NJ.
Japan landed $500 additional men
at Lung-Kow to-day. OF these forces
500 men are marines. the others being
soldiers
Lung-Kow is a new Chinese port.
situated 100 miles north of Tsing-Tau,
in Kiao-Chow.
Between 5000 and Is, 900 Japanese
troops had been landed in Lung-Kow
previous to to-day. The japanese con-
troll the telegraph lines out of Lung
Kow.
Peking, China. Sept. S.-The num-
Der of Japanese troops ashore at Lung
kow, the Chinese port north Of
here. 1t is believed that no more
than 5000 men are on shore and that
$4,000 more are coming.
The Chinese officials of Lung -Kow
politely protested against the landing
of Japanese forces. The japanese ac-
ness and proceeded to disregard it.
There was no hostile incident during
the landing.
The foreign office has formally pro-
tested to the japanese and British
legations here against the violation of
China's neutrality involved in the land
ing at Lung-Kow, which, being 100
miles from Using Tau, is approXi-
mately seventy miles beyond the con-
fines of >the German leased territory.
Knowing that it's protest would be
useless, the foreign Office at the same
time requested the British and Japa-
nese authorities to confine their op-
erations to the zone extending on the
north from Lung-Kow to Lia-Chow
and on the south to the previously
prescribed fighting area. Neither lega-
tion accepted these limitations.
The British regiments expected to
take part in the investment of Using
Tau are still at Tientsin.
The foreign office later in the day
notified the foreign diplomats here
that Germany, Japan and Great Brit
ain were transgressing Chinese neu-
trality in Shang-Tung province and
at the same time expressed regret that
China was unable to prevent such
transgression.
The note declares that China would
continue to enforce her regulations
respecting neutrality outside of the
zone bounded by Lung-Kow and Liza
Chow on the north and the breadth
of the Kiao-Chow neutral sphere on
the south. The note concludes with
these words:
But 1t is still incumbent upon the
belligerent powers to respect the terri
torial and administrative rights of
China and all persons and properties
within the area defined above"

Britons Do Not Believe
KGiser's Forces Will
Attack Seaport Town

London. Sept. 3. LAO A. M.-The
British people continue to accept with
stoicism the lack of news concerning
the operations of the British army on
the continent. The French official
reports throw further light on the
operations than those of the British.
The French reports say the action
on the right northern wing has re-
suited in checking the Germans for a
time. The inference plainly is that
the Germans are employing all their
force in an enveloping movement
against the allies feft wing. That that
part of the allied army is retiring
to the south and west indicates that
the Germans have not yet outflanked
them.
Apparently the Germans have aban-
doned the west of Belgium to pour all
their forces toward the road to Paris
Reports that they are preparing to
attack Antwerp are not believed here,
because there seems to be no dorni-
mating strategic reason for such a
move Military experts agree that the
Germans are unlikely to waste more
than a screening body to prevent a
serious Belgian sortie against their
line of communication.
