china's Effort.
From The Century Mapazina

- rtuLu Tue century magazine.
The last Is years I'm China have
been In particular one steady course
OF continuous and ascending crises. a
drama or unsettled forces driven from
without by complicated currents of
pontical adventure and economic greed.
Yet In the face Of all these humilia-
lions. which have comprised the DELHI
crate policy or our generation to cap
itailze and perpetuate her feebleness,
look with unpreJudiced eyes on the
China OF this year 1915. and what do
you nnd2 Not merely a new patriotism
and new nationality born in the self
revelation Of the revolution. but
firmer and better consolidated AUTHORITY
over the IL provinces than ever before
In the history Of China.
"A year has just passed In which
China has done two amazing and ab-
solutely unprecedented things. which
no one who does not know of the Sissy
phus like handicaps against her can
possibly appreciate. On her own ma
tional credit and among her own peo-
pie she has raised her first substantial
domestic loans. a financial initiative
which has brought her a fund OF al
most $30.000.000. And she has come
through the last financial year not only
with the staggering burdens of her
foreign Indebtedness paid up on the
nail to the last penny. but with an
actual surplus OF cash in hand that
has been helped by no foreign loan.
Such achievements are not due to
mere clever financial management:
they are the moral answer of peo-
pie protesting against the extinction Of
their political life" at

ed in the exercise of these qualities In the
tracking OF human beings, and were In
the charge OF one accustomed to use
them. 1t must also appear that the dogs
so trained and tested were laid on a trail,
whether visible or not concerning which
testimony has been admitted, and upon a
track which the circumstances Indicate to
have been made by the accused When
these preliminary tests have been made,
the fact of tracking by bloodhound may
be permitted to go TO the jury as one OF
the circumstances which may tend to con-
meet the defendant with the crime with
which he Is charged. Should the prelim-
mary investigation disclose either that the
dog was not OF proper stock or unframed,
or not In the charge of person familiar
with such dogs, or was not placed upon
trail connected at least by circumstances
with the defendant, the trial court should
exclude the entire testimony as to the con-
duct or the dogs. When such a founda-
ton as that referred to above has been
laid, and evidence showing the conduct OF
the dogs has been received, the jury
should be charged. In substance, that be-
fore they can consider the conduct OF the
dogs they must find that the dogs were
accurate, certain, and reliable In follow
ing the trail of human footsteps, and that
IL they find this, then the evidence OF the
conduct OF the dogs and its result may be
considered, together with all the other evil
dence I'm, the case, as circumstance In

chosen to buy for themselves and their
families instead OF buying whisky, and
they had a good time. They went home

WAR TO GIVE FRANCE
NEW MATRIMONIAL LAW

Paris, Correspondence OF the Assoc
ciated Press) The matrimonial mo-
bilization, precipitated by the call to
arms last August, is far from COM
plete; in consequence there are thou
sands Of women wearing mourning
who are legally debarred from the
rights Of a widow. q ... .......
Two thousand Ave hundred mar
riages Of soldiers called to the colors
were celebrated in Paris alone during
the first two weeks following the out
break of war. Several thousand more
were obliged to leave for the front
without regularizing q situation that
has become hopeless for many women
and children and will become hopeless
for many more.
The procurator OF the republic did
what he could by ordering mayors to
disregard the rules parliament helped
by authorizing marriages at the front
even by proxy, but red tape had
wound marriage so tightly In its tangle
that even with carte blanche from
their superiors the mayors were un-
able to satisfy all demands. War will
have had the effect of remedying this,
but In the meantime incalculable harm
has become permanent.
DIR. Chervin stated before the So
ciety OF Statistics that 10000 families
In Paris are In an irregular situation
before the law and society. A large
proportion of these would have been
reguiarized IL less difficulty were
placed In the way OF marriage. A great
many persons are unable to produce
the birth certificate required-their
own and their parents. Many others
hesitate in the face Of the inevitable
posting OF their names 10 days be-
forehand on the walls of the mayors
office, thus giving a choice opportunity
to the gossips of their quarter.
A vigorous campaign has begun
among members OF the institute to
hasten legislation that will remove all
routine obstacles to marriage. Join
ing their efforts to those who are
fighting against the depopulation of
France, they are confident OF over
coming the apathy Of parliament.

ZEPPELIN HUNTING
AN EXCITING GAME
Battles In Clouds In Dark Of
Night Full of Thousand
Uncertainties.

London. Correspondence of the As
ISOLATED Press). Zeppelin hunting Is
not so easy as 1t seems to the landgo-
ing critics. who think it gross care
lessness that any Zeppelin has been al
lowed to sail over English soil and get
away.
The first message of a raid may
come from a point In Holland or Elan
ders, or some outlying English coast
watch station. 1t gives the time Of
passing, the general direction, and the
estimated height OF the airship. On
receipt OF this at the aerodrome, the
scout planes start out. III
Usually the Zeppelin chooses dark
night for raid. Its machine guns
amply protect its giant frame from air
attacks at it's height, level and below.
But the gas bags render IL vulnerable
from above. To be at an advantage,
the chaser must arise to a greater
height than the invader. which Is ablo
TO attain maximum height of about
Il, 900 feet. r.r
Unlike the gas ship, which can as
cend swiftly at will, the aeroplane has
to circle up slowly and laboriously. The
scout probably starts out in the pitch
dark with clouds TO pass through. Aft
er the necessary altitude Is reached.

his course. II he Is sailing over coun-
try occupied by the Germans, he has to
dodge the searchlights, which are
touching up the clouds. Once caught,
the shrapnel from the anti-aircraft
guns begin to burst. The scout then
has to dive. circle, reverse and dodge
until he gets out OF range and safe into
the dark again. II requires all the
nerve the airman possesses to keep
himself under control while the shells
burst with binding flashes and the
Bearchlights play on the clouds.

There Is a case recounted by an avi-
ator where his pausing aeroplane took
refuge In cloud and then passed over
and dropped bombs along what he
thought was the Zeppelin's probable
course. which he based on the sound OF
the enemy's machine guns. At the
same time, the Zeppelin was firing into
the cloud In the hope Of getting in a
chance shot at the pursuer. Each lost
the other In the clouds, and the British
er returned to his base without know
ing whether or not he had damaged
his enemy. The Zeppelin probably did
the same thing.

, That tragedy OF the old--the being
laid aside from life before the spirit
IL ready to resign, the feeling that
no one wants You, that all those you
have borne and brought up have long
passed out onto roads where you can
not follow, that even the thought life
OF the world streams by so fast that
you lie up in backwater, feebly,
blindly cropping for the full OF the wa

The Guests Of Sleep.

Sleep at the limo Dreams
A kindly host he waits,
And all night long goodly throng
Comes softly through his gates.
A varied company
Scholar and clown and king, N
Or prince or priest, or great or least.
He gives them welcoming.
For each he nlls the cup
Where poppy petals swim,
Wherefrom each guest at his behest
Drinks deeply, toasting him.
And old men drink of youth,
And sad men of delight,
And weary Anen drink deep again
The pulsing wine of might.
And poets drink OF song,
But best and oh, most sweet
Above that bTim where peoples swim
The lips OF lovers meet.
Sleep at the Inn o. Dreams
A kindly host he waits,
And all night long a Roodly throng
Comes softly through his gates.

TWO AMERICANS REPORTED
SHOT DOWN BY VILLA

SHOT DOWN BY VILLA
FL Paso, TeV., Nov. 4.-Bodies of
two American Mormon colonists re-
ported shot down by Gen. Villa, were
brought into Casas- Grandes, Chihau-
hau, today.
Villa had impressed Americans and
their teams into service at Casas
Grandes several days ago to haul his
ammunition when he began his
march on Aqua Prieta. When Amer
leans reached Ojitos Pass, Sonora,
they asked for their release from
service.
Villas reply was to shoot them
down. A friend loaded their bodies
on a wagon and brought them back
across Chihauhau desert to their
families. One identified as member
of Taylor family.
Douglas, Ariz., Nov. 4.-Villa, guer-
rilla leader, had today replaced Villa,
general who was once all powerful in
Mexico.

cognized government are still weak.
