WORKERS OF AMERICA
 GROWING MORE THRIFTY.
Savings Show a Marked Increase De-
 spite Period of Slack Times.

The building and loan associations of the United States increased their assets little more than $1OO, 100000 in 1914, marking a growth of S.73 per cent over the previous year, according to the an- nual report of Fl. F. Cellarius of Gin cinnat. secretary of the United States League of Local Building and Loan As the twenty third annual meeting.
 Secretary Cellarius continued:
 Considering the fact that this period included nearly six months of the great war in Europe, during which time there also existed in this country an indus trial depression more or less severe, this showing speaks volumes for the thrift and saving habits of the wage earning classes of our citizens, who are the chief patrons of these institutions
 The hard times apparently have stimulated an enforced economy, have required a reduction of unnecessary expenses. which In times of great pros perity are usually on the increase, and have brought home to the people the necessity of conserving their resources
 AS result they are saving as much or more in proportion than they did during more prosperous periods,
 There are In the United States G612 building and loan associations, with q membership of 3,1O34 435 and assets az gregating S1.357 ,340, ,O36. This Is an in crease over last year of 1S3 associa tions, 2G7,002 members and S10S,S6O S9I In assets. The average amount due each member is S43736, as against s440.16 the amount shown last year"

UNITED STATES HAS SECRET
 FORMULA FOR DEADLY SHELL
Being Manufactured In Government
 ArsenaIs and Kept a Secret.

What Is described as the deadliest shell' yet invented is said to have been developed by ordnance experts of the United States army. It is designed to meet conditions which have arisen in the European war by the destruction of hostile trenches and gun shelters
 "The general staff of the army" high ranking officer is quoted as say ing. lis thoroughly conversant with developments in military science as shown by the work of the various ar mics in the European war. Our ob- servers abroad have been particularly Observant of the effects of various ex- plosives. Knowing the intensity of the explosives used abroad, particularly they are in position to make compari- sons with the explosive which the ord nance experts of the United States army recently have perfected.
 "Of course the formula Is a secret. which it will be unnecessary to dis close before an actual emergency causes it to be turned over to private Slui SIS " bc uoeu iol lut army. At present the explosive is being man ufactured only in the United States ar senals, where the formula is most care fully guarded.
 "The trench warfare abroad Is a de velopment of that form of operations which was wholly unlocked for. In no previous war have intrenchments play ed so important part or been so elab- orately constructed More than any thing else this has called for the use of a high explosive shell, a shell that not only will destroy any unprotected force, but will destroy a protection. Shapnel will not do this but the high explosive shell demolishes trenches and everything they contain"

SALOONISTS WON'T FIGHT

Fort Smith, Aug. 6.-There will be no appeal from the order of Judge Paul Little, of the Circuit Court, in closing the saloons last Saturday night. This was definitely decided today. All the liquor dealers are now vacating their places of business, preparatory to turning over their quarters to the owners.
 An appeal to the Circuit Court on the closing order could not be heard for several months, and even if the saloonists should win they would have to close again January 1.

 One Behind the Other.
 What is probably the most important ...t,o of the war so far and one mark od by horrible slaughter on both sides occurred on the outskirts of Warsaw. ,rho Russians, 1t seems, foresaw this oncogement and had erected the most comnlete system of trenches at this no,nt A correspondent of the Chicago News who spent some time at this front describes the Qualifications as Follows:
 "These defenses are called the Blo- ne. .Grodek line. This is halfway be tween Warsaw and the old line of de fense on the Bzura and Rawka rivers. on which the Russians and Germans Ibegan fighting on Dec. l9.
 "Tbe new line at Blonie is about if toen miles from the city. 1t was con s,ructed by the Russians during the winter it was not built by soldiers. |but by Polish laborers employed by |the Russians at 75 cents day. The Iline ran from the curve of the Vistula north of Warsaw, at the fortress of |Novo Georgievsk, south through the town of Blonie. then south to the town of Grodek. then southeast to point of the Vistula river virtually at the fortress of Iyangorod. It was about fifty miles long.
 "This line constituted the last de- fenslve position of the Russians west of the yiStula river. l have been over parts of the line, and in places which l visited it consisted of six distinct lines of trenches, one behind another, from aO0 yards to 1000 yards apart These trenches were constructed with the ut most care and were pronounced by the foreign military observers who accom- es they had ever seen. They were far better than the original defenses of the Russians on the Vistula and Rawka rivers
 "The trenches are connected by sunk en passageways in different places. These afford an opportunity for the troops to retire from trench to trench. There are elaborate projections of barbed wire entanglements on wooden posts Some of these entanglements project high above the surface of the ground. Others are only two feet high and are constructed in broad ditch, which prevents their being seen at a ] distance.

HIS SAFETY IS GUARANTEED
Large Number of Secret Police Keep Emperor Under Closest Scrutny-His Presence at the Front an Aid to the Commanding Generals, and His Ad vice Is Always Sought.

Commanding Generals, and His Ad
 vice Is Always Sought.
 Paul Schmeder, who claims to be one of those very few and highly fa- vored correspondents who have lived at the kaisers headquarters since the beginning of the war, has just written @ large volume in which he tells the German public all about the life the supreme war lord leads at the front The theory that the kaisers presence at the front disturbs his generals is scornfully rejected. the writer main taining, on the contrary, that the i'm perial advice is frequently sought and generally acted on by them.
 The kaisers special train, in which he makes his famous and frequent rushes from one front to the other. con- sists, according to Herr Schmeder, of ten carriages constructed on modern lines; comfortable, certainly, but not luxurious. At the beginning of the war this special train was painted a whitish blue color, so that troops and and cheer the emperor as he passed, but fear that hostile aviators might find the task of dropping bombs there on made easier for them if they be came aware of that fact has resulted in a periodical repainting of the train in various colors
 Safety of Kaiser Guara nteed.
 ''The necessity for this precaution," !" adds Herr Schmeder, will be obvious when I mention that train purposely made to resemble in color and form that of the kaiser's was promptly bom- barded by a French aviator shortly after leaving the Frankfort railway station"
 The safety of the emperor in the field Is guaranteed, he says, by his personal adjutants and by large number of secret police, known as secret field DO lice, specially selected for their duties from all parts of Germany. These men keep the kaiser under the closest observation, both in the field and at the Headquarters of the general staff, to make sure that no spies are watching his movements and that no dynamiters are prowling in the neighborhood.
 "To all appearances, the writer adds, there seems to be no special precau- tions taken for guarding the kaiser, but. as a matter of fact, invisible eyes watch him. and day and night thero is an absolutely impenetrable barrier between him and the outside world. Naturally. in the field and at headquar- ters the emperor's movements are un- hampered by his guards, and one ire quently sees him talking serenely and smilingly to the children he encounters.

foreign office today issued statement IN

imports into Holland and Scandinavia
of raw cotton and of cotton waste DUR
ing the months of May, Jurc and July
totalled 1854 tons, as compared with a
normal average of S5.3OS tons. OF the
latter, however, it is stated that all but
1857 tons were re-exported.
These figures show" the sta-ement
continues, that during these months i'm
portation of cotton has not been substan-
TALLY greater than in times of peace and
it is a fair deduction from this that a
part from any other measures that have
been taken Germany has not since May l
received any considerable supply of cot
ton through those countries.
1T is not anticipated that wing to
the declaration of cotton as contra band
there will be any great difference in the
importation of cotton into the countries
concerned and there is no reason to sup
pose that the American. or Egyptian ex-
porters of cotton will | nthe future be
