Verses S-12a.-The argument of force.
The extraordinary victory on Mount
Carmel was promptly followed by the
coming of rain, which was a further
confirmation Of the supreme power of
Jehovah. The welcome promise OF
rain was made to Ahab by Elijah.
While the king was Fastening home IN
his chariot, a distance of seventeen
miles, to escape the storm, the prophet
ran all the way to Jezreel, but he re-
manned outside the city. He doubtless
anticipated trouble from Jezebel. He
was not mistaken. Ahab had hardly
finished his story before a messenger
was dispatched by the angry queen to
Elijah, threatening to- take his life.
The man who had withstood the hosts
of evil only a few hours before now
shook like an aspen leaf. He lost no
time in leaving the land, and with his
servant he went q journey Of ninety
five miles to Beersheba, in the south.
Thence he went another days journey
into the wilderness by himself. In the
the solitude of these quiet surround
ings he broke down and confessed
that, after all. he had failed In his
earnest attempt to uphold the honor of
Jehovah. The fact Is that he was
played out physically, and this is not
surprising when we remember the tre-
mendous strain under which
he had been recently working. in addi-
ton to which he had little sleep and
less food. What he needed most Of all
were sleep and nourishment. and these
were providentially furnished him.
The fact that he twice partook of the
cake and water SO readily after he had
slept soundly indicates that he certain

into "Horeb the mount of God" This
is the same as Mount Sinai. 1t was In
this region that Moses had the vision
Of the burning bush and also received
revelations from Jehovah, the great
est of which was the covenant based
on the Decalogue. Elijah probably
hoped that amid these historic scenes
he also might receive a message suited
to the urgent needs of the time. what
doest thou here!" He had not yet got
over his mood of dependency, and
while he was lodging in n of the
caves he passed in review the AUS

the very intensity Of his devotion to
Jehovah which made him feel so de-
pressed on account of the Dissertation

his life was in jeopardy. Elijah was

would thus not be distracted by any
external sights, for he was intent on
listening to what he believed was a
message from God. The question that
came to him in the cave again came to
him ON the mount, and he repeated his
answer. But he now learned that his
defense was indefensible. His medita-

Faber Has Worlds Pitching Record

Faber Has Worlds Pitching Record.
A world pitching record was claimed
recently for Urban Faber of the Chi
cage Americans as a result Of his per-
Torrance in defeating the Washington
club 4 to / in Chicago. According to
baseball experts, Faber pitched only
sixty-seven balls during the nine In
nings, five less than the record estab-
lished by Christy Mathewson of the
New York Nationals several years ago.
Frank A. Saffell, who operates an elee-
trio %scoreboard in Washington, tele-
graphed that the board recorded all
strikes and balls and that his record
showing that Faber pitched fifty strikes
and seventeen balls was correct. In
the record Saffell counted as strikes
any ball that was hit by the batter.
In the third and fifth innings Faber
retired six men IN six pitched balls,
each batter hitting the first ball for an
put.

Fate of the Indians.

"Give q dog a bad name and the
worlds ag'in him." In some cases you
can even change the name and the rep
utation will stick. Such seems to be
the fate of the Indians, the Cleveland
American league club. During their
last days under the title of Maps they
were blamed for. nearly every crime
upon the calendar. some former friends
going so far as to accus them of pro-
yoking the war in Europe.
They have changed the name to In
dams, but nevertheless they don't seem
to have a friend around the circuit.

league suits. Pittsburgh experts as

According to Bill Steen of the Cleve-
land Maps, Iris Speaker of the Boston
Red Sox is the hardest batter in the
league to pitch to regardless of the
fact that DOME Bush of Detroit draws
more passes than any player in the
world and on the strength of his bases
on balls record is regarded as the
toughest bird In the business for an
American league pitcher to work on.
Speaker won't strike at a ball on
the inside, and he slams balls on the
outside down the foul line at a mile a
minute. He hits 'em when they are
over. I'd sooner pitch to Crawford,
Collins. Cobb or Baker any day than
to Speaker" says Steen.
Crawford and Cobb are hard to
fool. They show their greatest weak
ness in going after slow balls"

ture Of guns and ammunition for ordi-
nary needs, but to have had a reserve
supply sufficient to prevent it from be-
ing taken by surprise In the event of
war. The most important factories
capable of turning out war materials
were in the neighborhood Of Petrograd,
Moscow, MIMI ovgorod, Tihis, Odessa
and S~ebastopol.
During the forty-eight hours preced-
ing and following the declaration of
war by Germany against Russia these
plants were put out of business by in
cendiary fires and dynamite explosions.
The Russians always have felt justified
in crediting the destruction of their
munitions plants ct this critical period
in their history to the work of Ger
man spies or through the use Of Ger
man money.
During the tumult that followed the
declaration of a state of war between
Germany and Russia the outside world
knew nothing of the devastation
wrought to Russian arms by its enemy,
although it now develops that som
men who were caught redhanded were
shot or hanged. The strict censorship
then maintained at Petrograd and other
Russian cities prevented any knowl-
edge of the disasters from reaching the
outside world.
That the blow struck by Germany
against Russia, however, was pretty
thorough and complete is evidenced by
the fact that only within the last three
months have any of these arms plants
been restored to working conditions
and with a minimum of output, made
quate to supply more than one-fourth
Of the actual needs of the Russian mil
itary forces.
The information comes from a diplo-
mat whose facilities for securing in
formation of this character are Of the
best. The knowledge impaired by him
is the first explanation of the real
cause of the inability of the Russian
forces successfully to halt the onward
sweep of the better equipped Teutonic
allies.
Russian Orders Filled First.
The military needs of Russia, in fact,
have been of the most vital concern to
her allies. Some of the latter are un-
der a disadvantage in the same respect,
but by common consent of the British.
French, Belgian and Italian govern
ments the orders placed by Russia
have been given precedence over even
their own in many instances.
With the increased supply of war
materials coming from the United
States, the chances of the cars army
for finally turning back Germany's
armies will be improved. An expert
Of recognized authority gives this in
formation recently in support Of the
belief:
"Cnless the present German cam
paign results In the total destruction Of
the Russians the campaign will be a
failure viewed from the standpoint Of
the allies. Up to the present time there
are excellent reasons for believing that
the Russian army will be kept intact.
Two points should be kept constantly
in mind by persons who desire to main
tain a clear perspective Of the Euro
pean war.
1.-THE fact that Germany has driven
the Russian army back at many points
means merely that the hour of final
accounting from the Russians has been
postponed"

including the Teutons and the allies, a
French statistician brings the sum
down to the precise figure Of IS. 3D..
Basing his calculation on this estimate
fixes the daily cost of the war, includ-
ing the Belgian, Servian, Turkish and
japanese armies at the colossal sum OF
Co. 200, 900.
These sums have a fascination for
the tntored mind. In a paper read
before the Royal Statistical society it
was estimated the total cost of the war
up to date would reach the fantastic
sum of f9, 147 100000, or over $45,OO0,-
100000. Beyond this neither the force
of fancy nor the range of figures can
show. 1t is the first time in the worlds
history that such a sum has been totted
up as al actuality to be faced. Leav-
ing out thought Of the sacrifice of life
and the irremediable ravages in histOr-
ic towns and fruitful countries, the
worst aspect of the business is that all
these billions of hardly earned money
drawn from the pockets of the taxpay-
er are literally blown away. 1t were
idle to reflect upon the amount Of hap
piness and prosperity they might have
brought to the human race had they
been spent upon social and industrial
improvements.
Swiss May Be Involved.
A dispatch from Berne, Switzerland,
given out by the Overseas News agen-
cy, says that General Ulrich Willie,
commander Of the Swiss army, adj
dressing a meeting held to celebrate
the anniversary Of the battle Of Sem
pach, said that, while Switzerland
hoped that the worst would be spared
her, the future was still uncertain.
1t would be unmerited luck, General
Willie declared, according to the dis
patch, If Switzerland should escape In
the midst Of the heavy storms raging
around her.
Two Swiss soldiers of the French
Foreign legion, who have returned
from France to Switzerland as in
valids, report that n regiment, con-
sisting of 1900 Swiss, numbered after
the battle Of Arras $50 men. A second
regiment, consisting of 1000 Swiss,
after the same battle numbered 232
men. The regiment lost all its officers.
Russia's Need Of Supplies.
Russia is still in the greatest need of
war supplies. Shipments in anything
like extensive volume of guns and am
munition of oil sorts just have begun
going by way of Pacific coast ports
to ~Vladivostok, the easternmost port
of Siberia. and thence by rail owe the
T~ranssiberian railway.
The most reliable information is that
will require three months Of steady
shipment to equip the Russian forces
opposing the A~ustro-German armies on
the eastern front In a satisfactory
manner. The almost historical de-
mands that have come from the Rus
sian government for the speedy for
warding Of guns and ammunition evil
dence a most acute need for them.
There has been a great deal Of con-
In this country as to the
for the lack of weapons and ammuni-
ton adequate properly to equip the
army.
