marshy condition OF the country.
London. Aug. 25-Progress is re-
ported today by each of the five ar
mics which are marching on Brest-
Litvosk One ofthese armies-that
on the southwest Fronts said to
have broken through one of the ad-
yanced positions of the fortress.
General Eichhorn, who captured
Koyno, is moving eastward and his
plan is apparently to march rapidly
on Wilma and, after occupying that
town, to attempt an advance to Minsk
thus placing his army on the Russian
line of retreat from the Bug, while
Field Marshal Won Mackensen and
Prince Leopold of Bavaria continue
their efforts to envelop BrestLitvosk.
the southeast of Brest-Litovsk
Austro-German cavalry is moving
north from Kovel, the Vienna report
says, toward KobriR on the railway
to Pinsk, while other forces are work
ing along the direct line from Kovel
to Brest-Litovsk.
As Grand Duke Nicholas still has
other lines of retreat open to him
and as his rear guards heretofore
have shown their ability to hold off
the stro-Germans until their re-
tirement was affected. military writ
ers here do not believe the plan to
cut off the Russian retrat will sue
ceed
Weather conditions are playing a
part in the operations on the eastern
front. 1t is reported that the roads
in Courland are softening already, as
the result of continued rains, and that
the Germans are finding it more diff
cult to move forward their artillery.
They are still trying, however, to
force back the Russians who are hold
ing the line between the Rivers Aa
and Dvina, and claim to have been
successful at one point at least.

DETECT TUBERCULOSIS EARLY.
symptoms Are More Accurate Guides
than Physical Signs.

Anybody can diagnose consump-
ton in the late stages" says DR.
Lawrence Brown of Saranac Lake.
New York, who is one of the country s
best diagnosticlans for early tuber-
culosis, After the disease has pyo-
crossed TO the point where there is
frequent coughing, much sputum,
fever, sweats and flushed face, even
a careless doctor will know it, but
diagnosis at that stage is not worth
much to the sick man"
1t is DR.. Browns opinion that con-
sumption should be diagnosed not on
ly before there are bacilli in the spu-
tum, but also before the physicians
can find any signs in the chest.
He holds that whenever a person
who has been eexposed TO tubercu-
losis infection, particularly in child
hood, and who later passes through
any facilitating experiences and then
develops little fever. has a little
cough, tires easily, loses color and
loses a little weight, diagnosis Of
probable tuberculosis should be
made, even though physical ex-
animation shows no signs of consump-
tion in the lungs and there are no
bacilli in the sputum. il there is any
sputum.
This probability is increased If the
person is ten pounds below the ay-
erage weight for height and age. and
If he has pulse that is few beats
say ten, faster than the average. In
other words. he puts the history aud
a general sizing up Of the situation
above all other factors in making q
diagnosis of very early stage cor
sumption. He certainly puts II ahead
of bacilli in the sputum as sign, for
that sign comes rather late. He says
symptoms are better and more ac-
curate guide to activity than physical
signs.

Chapple introduced Prince Albert

Arthur MacLennan, managing ed
itor of the Denver (Col Times. has
been fined $3.50 and costs for con-
tempt of court in refusing to divulge
information to recent county grand
jury. The contempt proceedings fol-
lowed an incident in the Colorado
Legislature last winter, when a pack
age of currency was delivered to Rep
resentative w. W. Holland on the
floor of the House. The Times print
ed an account of the affair. MacLen-
nan, when ordered by the grand jury
to reveal the source of the papers
information, refused maintaining
that the information reached him in
confidential communication.
Editor MacLennan has maintained
the tradition of the craft and news
paper men generally will applaud
him. OF course there are eases
in which a newspaper mans duty to
the public would be far greater than
his obligation to an individual. But
the newspaperman has a proper con-
ception of his duty will not allow
himself to become the repository OF
guilty secrets. But when he receives
information which he agrees to hold
sacred he should keep his word: and
this is so thoroughly understood that
a secret is generally safer with a
newspaper man than anywhere else.

We have not yet a true democracy
government, in my mind, but know
we have got plutocratic government.
We can see and know that wrongs are

we go on in the same old rut each

will soon be impossible for the poor
man IL he is in this rut of creation
that the rich have started for the de-
moralization of the weak.
At the present system the govern

people. Don't ask me TO say what to

As A Banker Sees The Bread Line

State Journal.
The following is a letter from David
Y, Thomas, of the University of Ar
kansas, published in a recent issue
of The outlook;
The Southern Educational Con
ference. which met this spring at
Chattanooga, lacked something of the
old enthusiasm so noticeable when Mr..
Ogden was there, but il is still crap
ping with serious problems. One
section was devoted to rural credits.
and some of the ideas terminated
there struck me as very significant.
One speaker was an Alabama bank
er, who perfaced his remarks by stat
ing that he owned two square miles
of ancestral lands. He had often
been approached by prospective pur-
chasers. but had never considered any
proposition to part with the lands. He
loved these lands and understands
the feelings of those who have such
possessions. Besides, there are many
who have gathered up large holdings
for speculative purposes. But, said
the men and women of the bread line
The two fundamental causes of the
bread line he ascribed to absentee
landlordism and land monopolization
The remedy he stated in few words:
Exempt the first forty acres from tax
alton and impose a progressive sup
er-taX on all holdings above forty
acres so as to make land monopoli-
cation impossible.
While did not agree with all the
details of his plan, approve of its
general principles. But the thing
which pleased me most was TO hear
such progressive. not to say radical.
ideas advanced by a business man of
the old conservative South. a man
who said he would have secuted such
ideas three years ago. The ideas are
in harmony with those that have been
taught in Southern universities for
more than three years by the young
err professors, who are gratified with
the result of their teachings.
This Alabama banker has correctly
diagnosed the bread line disease. Let
us hope that more and more business
men may share his vision. The great
advantage In program which will
prevent the holding of land for specu-
latiye purposes is that it will not in
terfere with, but will encourage, bust
ness and industry OF every kind. II
will not rob anybody but will tend
to prevent the individual from APP
propriating values created entirely
by the whole community.

ENGLAND STIRRED
on COTTON SITUATION
Believe Fleecy Staple Is Reaching
Germany Despite Blockade.
London Dispatch, July 81.

London Dispatch, July 81.
The question whether, despite the
blockade, cotton and foodstuffs are
reaching Germany is exercising the
British press.
The Times regrets that Premier
Asquith was unable TO hold out great
er hopes of effectually dealing with
the cotton difficulty.
The Daily Chronicle pointed to the
enormous increase in the exports of
raw cotton and foodstuffs to Holland
and Scandinavia and says: 1.-THE
question frankly arises whether,
without knowing it, we are feeding
the enemy"
The Morning Post complains of the
unsatisfactory Ministerial statements
concerning cotton and declares the
only offectual measure is to make cot
ton absolute contraband. The Post
says:
Every pound of cotton imported
into Germany means death to British
soldiers. Therefore II must be stop
ped. If when the next crop is ready
for sale the government desires to
continue its former policy the coun-
try will not permit its continuance.
The editorial further endorses the
proposal of an American correspond
ent whose letter the Post prints, sug-
costing as a means of counteracting
1.-THE prejudice" which he says un-
doubtedly exists in the United States
against England that the allies should
reply jointly ito the unreasonable
American protest against the block
AIDE" and that intercepted contraband
from America and other neutral coun-
tries should be brought before a
prize court composed of representa-
tives of the allies instead of a speci-
fically British court.

Representations Reiterated.
Proposals Rejected.

6. The proposals made by Germany
TO give immunity TO American ships
not carrying contraband, and to four
belligerent ships under the American
flag, are rejected with the emphatic
gestion would be TO admit Germany's
right TO set aside the American con-
tention based on fundamental prin-
ciples in internal low-that neutrals
may travel anywhere on the high
seas on unresisting ships of any ma
tionality even il carrying contraband.
The note is about 1900 words
long. While nowhere in it is there
any direct intimstion of the course
which the United States will pursue
in the event of another disaster ST
milar TO the Lusitania tragedy there
are emphatic statements throughout
the communication pointing out that
the discussion of the principles in
volved has been virtually concluded
and that future conduct of German
submarine commanders will deter
mine the responsibility for the CON
tinuance of friendly relations between
the two countries.
Break I'm Future Trangressions.
The statement that future trans
gressions will be regarded as "un-
friendly" is taken in diplomatic usage
to presage a break in friendly rela-
tions unless reparation and disap.
proval is forthcoming. President
Wilson, 1t Is understood. has consid.
