Nobility Suffering Heavily.
A news dispatch says:

a News NlSpdtCu SdSS.
Publication of the Almanac &c
Gotka for 1915 and the various
genealogical annuals which has just
taken place here reveals that up
to November sirst 779 members of
the German nobility had met death
on the battlefield or had succumb-
ed to wounds received in action.
It is shown that of members be-
longing to the "graefliche" houses,
or families carrying the title of
count, n had fallen in battle or
died of wounds by November l.
The "freiherrlichen" or baronical
families had lost 209 members
through the war, while the very
essence of German nobility, the
"Urdeligen" families, who trace
their ancestors to the year Of 1850
or beyond, had lost 246 members
in all. The families hit hardest
are the Armins with S, the Wedels
with S, the Oerbens with Z and the
Dickens with members. But the
class of nobility which seems to
have suffered most, though it is by
no means the most numerous, is
that whose members have been
knighted by letters-patent, and
who are known in Germany as
"briefadeliger" houses. This class
last $50 members.
The total number Of losses
through death on the battlefield or
as the result Of wounds received in
action of the German nobility is,
therefore, 779, up to November 1.

DISASTER DESCRIBED.
How Rattleship Formidable Went
Down in Heavy Sea-

The sinking Of the battleship For
midable, described in detail for the
first time by survivors Of the dtsas-
ter, is as intensely dramatic as it
was appalling.
When she was struck a gale was
blowing, storm which in itself was
terrifying. AS she settled above the
roar Of the sea and the screeching OF
the wind cries of the drowning ming
led with the shouted commands of the
officers. The whole scene was light
ed by rockets which streaked he sog-
gy dawn, while on d. and in the
rigging fares burned as signals OF
distress.
Suddenly the great ship which had
been listing heavily heeled over to
starboard then Strengthening and
plunged bow first. The signal lights
Jared up like something uncanny,
throwing out in bold relief the figures
Of Capt. Arthur N. Loxley and his
signal boy, standing at salute alone
on the bridge.

The Mystery of the Zeppehns.

The Worlds Work for November
asserted that plants in Germany
were turning out between SIX and:
seven Zeppelins every month. A mil
itary Zeppelin costs about half-a-
million dollars. The question arises,
what is Germany building the zeppe-
Inns for?
Before the war the military author
tiles had quite a number, since then
they have taken over all regular pas
senger ships in use prior to the war,
and are building many as possible.
No person will believe that the Ger
man government would spend so
much money were 1t not convinced
of it's tremendous advantage to them
Up to this time Zeppelins have
done practically nothing. They have
foated over various cities, but even
here these ships were the smaller OF
the craft, and it is doubtful if any OF
the late military Zeppelins have yet
been used. Yet, according to various
reports, the Germans continue their
manufacture. According to one story,
as soon as they are finished, out they
20 for trial trip over Lake Con-
stance, then to the Baltic, where they
go through practise evolutions with
battleships and submarines. From
there they go somewhere-but no one
knows.
What are they being built for?
There is only one answer. The Ger
man government intends using them
at the necessary time, and when that
time comes We will know. We can
only conjecture now whether they
will be used in conjunction with the
navy or the army. With either they
could perform wonderful, and pos
sibly, revolutionary, results. II
fleet of Zeppelins prove practicable IN
naval warfare it may combine with
the German battleships, and give bat
tie for the mastery Of the channel.
Maybe they will be used to invade
England. Perhaps a feet Of Zeppe-
Inns will hover over London, and drop
their tons of deadly explosives. We
can heartily sympathize with the
English people in the metropolis, for
no human mind can conceive OF the
destruction and carnage that would
result from a successful Zeppelin
bomb-dropping expedition TO Lon
don We hope it will never come
about. One rumor is that the Zeppe-
lins will be used to transport soldiers
to England. That's novel, but eacn
ship could carry fifty or more sol
diers. A fleet of hundred would
carry 5000 each trip.
Maybe the Zeppelins are all fakes.
Maybe they won't amount to any con-
in the war, and the Aliles
may have some agency that will coun-
teract or drive them away before they
can do any damage. We do not
know, nor does any one else OUTSIDE
of authoritative circles. But the fact
that they are being built at much
cost seems to show that Germany IS
expecting good results from them.
We will wait, and see.

HOLDS RIGHT OF SEARCH
U. S. CERTIFICATE WILL NOT
PROTCT SUSPECTED SHIPS.
Great Britain Looks Upon American
Plan as Desire to Anicably Adjust
Matters Complained of.

A London dispatch says that al
though the British foreign ofh.e re-
CARDS with high favor the American
governments plan OF certifying car
goes destined for Europe, it was said
that England can not accept such
certifcation as an absolute guaranty
of the nature of the cargo in case
cause for suspicion arises after YES
sci leaves America. In other words,
the right Of search can not be waiv-
ed, because Of the possibility Of
shifting cargoes at sea.
The waving Of the right Of search
in the opinion Of prominent British
officials, would be an invitation for
+smugglers to carry contraband to sea
in small boats and retransfer it to a
snip of certified cargo. The position
is precisely the same as that taken
by the foreign Office concerning GER
tifcation Of manifests by British con-
suls at American ports.
The government constantly is in
communication with representatives
Of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and
Holland, and it is reported these ma
tons are taking steps to revise their
lists of prohibited exports to CORE
spond with the British contraband
lift That would mike possible re-
sumption Of shipping to neutral Euro
pean countries from America with
out delays or danger OF seizure.
A decidedly favorable impression
has been produced by the American
certiication plan. British officials
regard the suggestion as further
| manifestation Of desire to hasten
satisfactory settlement Of the situa-
| ton.
Owing to failure Of the London
newspapers to discuss the preliminary
negotiations between Ambassador
Page and Foreign Secretary Grey, e1-
tending over several weeks before the
American note was presented, the
English public was not we'll advised
concerning the differences which
grew up.
Even now the opinion is quite gen.
eral that President Wilson denied
England's right Of search. Conse-
quently much Of the shock occasioned
by the presentation Of the American
note was due to misapprehension and
now is disappearing on account OF
the calm and friendly attitude Of the
government,

REPLY AMICABLT.
Indications Are That British Reply
Will Make Concessions.

Great Britain's reply to President
Wilson's note protesting against in
reference with American ocean COM
merce will be delivered in few days,
probably early next week. Foreign
Secretary Sir Edward Grey and Attor-
ney General Sir J. A. Simon Friday
discussed the points of international
law involved. The note has also been
laid before the admiralty.
All indications point to concilia-
tory reply. says dispatch from Lon
don to the New York World, and
there is every indication that the
Mritish 7ernment will on numerous
points male concessions to the Amer
ican complaints, adjusting the whole
matter satisfactorily. There is no in
dication of fear of serious conse-
quences ensuing. British officials. in
discussing the situation, show that
they consider Americas complaints
are susceptible Of adjustment.

LITERARY TEST PASSED
SENATE ADOPTED IMMIGRATION
MEASURE SATURDAY.
House Expected to Concur in Amend
ment Excluding All Persons Of
African Race or Of Negro Blood.

The immigration bill, containing
the restrictive literary test for admis-
sion Of aliens, passed the Senate Late
Saturday, so to Z. The overwheln-
ing majority was recorded despite in
dications that President Wilson
would veto the measure, as did for
mer President Taft, If it should come
to him with educational test included.
The vote indicated that the bill
could be repassed by more than the
required two-thirds majority should
the President reject the measure.
Senators who voted against the bill
were: Brandegee, McCumber, Mar
tine. O'Gorman, Ransdell, Reed and
Walsh.
The bill passed the House last Feb
ruary 241 to 1875. Although the Sen
ate amended the House bill in several
particulars, the literary test was un-
altered save for an additional e2emp-
ton to Belgian subjects, adopted af-
ter prolonged debate.
Among Senate amendments which
House leaders have said probably
would be accepted is one to exclude
from the United States all persons of
the African race or of negro bloed.
Another strengthens the phrasealogy
of the prohibition Of polygamists.
Senator Reed offered the African
exclusion amendment, which was
adopted 20 to 25. Senator Williams
of Mississippi debated this proposal
at length, declaring there were
enough negroes In this country now,
Statistics were given to show that
only 5000. people Of African blood
came to this country last year.
Another amendment by Senator
Reed to exclude all but persons of the
Caucasian race was defeated, but not
until after it had caused considerable
discussion relating to the Japanese
Many senators declared it would af'
feet treaty relations.
"Of course the amendment will in
clude the Japenese in its effect" said
Senator Reed, 'but if there is any
difficulty about the treaty I will Co
operate in a further amendment te
postpone the operation Of this clause
until treaties may be changed. Thi!
bill, as now drawn, violates the spirit
if not the letter Of our treaties. We
prefer to do by indirection what We
have not the courage to do by direc
ton. We propose to pass an exclu
sion bill, but to do it by means Of al
educational test" The vote agains
the amendment was AZ to 9.

SHIP BILL is BLOCKED
ACTION OF REPUBLICANS MAY
CAUSE EXTRA SESSION.
Senators Opposing Democratic Pro-
gram Start Filibuster-Stone Says
Its a Long Time to Christmas.

Its Long Time to Christmas.
Continued Republican belligerency
toward the government ship-purchase
bill has begun to worry administra-
ton leaders. With but two months
Of the sixty-third congress remain
ing, all Of the big supply bills undis-
posed of by the Senate, and minority
senators manifesting determination
to fight the ship bill to the last ditch,
fears were expressed by Democratic
leaders that the administrations leg
islative program is in danger.
AS result of conferences among
Democratic senators Tuesday it is
probable night sessions may be forced
in the near future, to test the endur-
ance of opponents Of the shipping
bill.
Republican senators Tuesday pre-
vented consideration Of the ship
measure by discussing at length the
urgent deficiency bill. Senator
Works also talked for three hours on
the public health and announced he
still had left 10000 words Of his
prepared address, which he intends
to deliver tomorrow and Thursday.
"It begins to look to me as though
there were an ulterior motive be-
hind this protracted debate" said
Senator Stone after several Repubii-
can senators had spoken on the ur-
gent deficiency bill, "and that it IS
intended to waste the time ot the
Senate. It has the complexion Of an
established filibuster against consii-
GRAFTON of the shipping bill. I want
to warn senators, however, that the
bill will be considered. It's g. good
long time from now until Christ
| mas"
"The fourth Of March intervenes," i"
interjected Senator Lodge, between
now and Christmas"
Eyes, I mean Christmas, 1915,
replied Senator Stone.
Later several senators declared
that, should the minority prevent
passage Of the shipping bill at this
session, an extra session would be
called. Intimations of q similar ma.
ture also were heard at the White
House.
The commerce committee, IL
charge Of the shipping bill, adopted
several amendments submitted Mon
day by Senator Stone. One, design
ed to prevent secret shipments Of con.
traband, would authorize the presi
dent to designate ports where Gus
toms collectors would be compelled
to inspect all goods before they were
loaded for foreigl ports on ships o.
American register or vessels to bt
acquired by the United States under
the pending bill. Another amend
ment would place United States ship:
under international maritime regula
tionS.

TOWN WILL NOT DIE.
Mail Order Business May Retard Its
Progress, However.


Do not let yourself believe that the
mail order business will ever kill this
town. If any considerable number Of
the people in this town and in this
neighborhood persist in the habit Of
sending their money away from home
it will, of course, keep this town
from ever being anything more than
it is, and may even set it backward.
But there will always be town of
some kind here.
And the ree son is this: q town,
after all, is something more than a
collection of houses. It is product
not only of the brain but OF the
heart. The pioneers saw that this
was a natural place for town to be.
They settled here; their children
were born here; and here most of
their children's children were born.
The foundations of this town are
deeper than the sills that support the
houses; they reach down into the
hearts Of the people of this commun-
ity. y
The mail order patron does not
foresight. He probably has never
thought very much about it. He has
thought only Of his individual case.
It didn't seem to make very much
difference to him if he spent ten dol
lars, or a hundred dollars, or two
hundred dollars, away from home.
But ten two hundreds are two thou
sand; and a hundred two hundreds
are twenty thousand; and $4,000
taken out Of the pockets of this town,
if such should happen to be the case,
would hit it fairly hard. 1t may not
be $4,000 that goes out of this COM
lack patriotism so much as he lacks
munity to the mail order houses each
year, or it may be great deal more.
The mail order patron himself is the
best judge Of that. He knows at
least, if he will look at the front
page Of his catalogue, that great
buildings are built in Chicago and
elsewhere out of the great profits of
he will stop to think, that every brick
these concerning. He knows, also, if
in these structures is a brick taken
out Of the upbuilding of this town
and other towns like it.
These great buildings were not
built by selling below cost. They
were built by selling at good round
profit. They were built not at the
expense Of the men who built them
but at the expense of the small towns
Of this country. They were paid for
with money that otherwise might
have been employed in building up
the business houses in this town.
Whether the mail order patron saved
anything thereby is doubtful, quality
considered; whether the town lost
anything is certain.
But neither the mail order house
nor the mail order patron can kill
this town absolutely. There will al
ways be a considerable number of
people who will prefer getting value
at home to getting stung abroad.
They will use both foresight and
sense. These will form the nucleus
of the town Of the future just as they
form the backbone Of the town Of the
present. And, in the future as in the
past. they will go ahead helping to
provide the children of the mail order
patron with schools, his family with
his vehicles with roads and
streets, his needs with his necessi-
ties, while he fritters away his means
He will continue to reap
the harvest whether he helps to SOW
and cultivate or not.
