meyer on a charge of a violation Of
the auto registration laws. Snlder
made no resistance to the arrest and
shortly atterWard furnished a bond
to appear in police court to answer
the charge.
1t is said that a friend of Snider's
"squealed" to the police regarding
Snider's attempt to evade the payment
of the state license fee and when it
was investigated it was claimed that
he had reprinted the 1914 number car
ried BY his car, making it the familiar
yellow of the 1915 numbers and had
hammered out the number in the
year and changed it to 1915. With
out the information secured from the
alleged friend of Snider's it is doubt
full II the evasion of the law would
ever have been discovered.
According to the police, Snider
readily admitted the charge when ar
rested but said that he had made an
application to the secretary of state
for new one, but it had not yet been
received, He also claimed that he
was trying to sell the car and had
neglected securing a new license on
that account. Snider was. released
upon posting a personal bond of $25.

The College Alumni is still keep
ing up its daily increase in member

in charge, has mailed out blank forms
requesting the members to give full
information about their work since
graduating. Much interesting and
valuable news has been received
from different ones who are located
all over this country and in foreign
lands. Many of the graduates from
1886 to 1901 have not yet been lOcat-
ed on account of the loss of these
records during the fire. Some have
been found through members who at
tended college at that time. No
doubt there are persons in this vicin-
ity who could inform the Alumni Sec
rotary where some of the graduates
could be found; if so, any such infor
nation will be appreciated. Anyone
having catalogues covering the dates
above mentioned will confer a favor
by communicating with Secretary
Fairman.

pieces of pen art, which are worth

RUSSIAN POLAND COUNTRY
Pen Picture Of Country Being Dew
astated by Battle Between the
Teutons and Russians.

Washington, d. c. Aug. 10,-Sied-
Ice government includes all that part
of Russian Poland through which the
Tsar's armies are now retreating On
every side, German armies are press
ing upon this central Polish govern
ment which is now assuming its great
historic interest as a theatre where
the most stirring events of the world
war may take place, The following
description of this great battlefield
has just been issued by the National
Society.
"Siedlce government forms the
heart of Poland, screened behind the
Vistula and Bug Rivers, toward the
west, north and east, and by the
Wieprz River in the south. 1t is also,
more closely related to Russia than
any other part of the Polish province.

Warsaw with PetrOgrad and Moscow

and some of the most favorable Pol.
ish wagon roads also run over its
plain toward the Russian border. Its
river boundaries all around it, togeth.
er with extensive marshes In the
north ana low hills in the south invest
1t with unusual advantages for de-
Tense, while its level character facili-
tates transport. ...
There are a few slipping hilly
tracts in the government, on the
bank of the Bug, around Biala and in
the middle The marshes in the north
are treacherous. and worthless. How
ever, only about 5 per cent of the gov
ernment's total area of $3.50 square
miles is unproiuctive. 1t is one of the
richest agricultural areas in Poland.
Nearly half of it, or As per cent, is un-
der crops, and another II per cent is
in meadow and pasture land. The prin
cipal crops are rye, wheat, oats, barley
and potatoes. The breeding of live
stock is second in importance to agri-
culture. About 10 per cent Of the land
il forcasted. The government is of no
Importance industrially. 1t supports
about 100000 population"
