keep off the poachers.
OF the Midway group, Brooks island
is a roughly pear shaped lagoon atoll
entirely surrounded by a barrier reef
of coral, with two passages sufficient
ly wide to permit vessels of consider
able draft to enter the lagoon. The
atoll is about two and a half miles
long and varies in width from half a
mile to two and a half miles, the
greatest breadth being toward the
southwest. The passages through the
reef lie on the west and northwest
sides. The lagoon is fully a mile and
a half wide at its widest and complete
ly surrounds what little land there is:
it is thickly sown with patches oil
coral. which in many large masses
reaches close to the surface, but boat

the water is always still.
The land is found at the east side
of the lagoon, two islands each little
more than mile long. Middle Brooks

watches day and night the swing
back and forth of the siphon re-
corder of the Morse code, which brings
to the cable hut the news of the world,
its policies, its pulse of commerce,
and every dot which comes in from
the Orient must be relayed for its
next leap to the waiting Occident, and
every western dash must be sped on

TROUBLE IN NEGOTIATING LOAN

The allies are having a good deal
of trouble to negotiate the loan of a
billion dollars in this country, which
they have been for some time trying
to secure. When the matter was first
presented it was said that rs difficult
ty would be had to secure the full
billion dollars, but of late it turns out
that not over five hundred millions
can be secured. One trouble has been
the opposition which was stirred up
on account of belief that portion
of the money was to be used to pur.
chase munitions of war for the allies
There is considerable sentiment In the
country against this view and enough
to check the enthusiasm of some OF
the people who were favorable to fur
nishing the money in the first in
stance. :.
If the purpose of borrowing the
money is to purchase food stuffs here

ALLIES MOVE FORWARD.

Two things have happened in the
European war within the last few days
to attract attention. One is the ar
rest Of German progress on the east
ern frontier and the other is an awak-
ening on the part of the allies in
France. The American people were
lead to believe that thesAllies were
almost out OF reckoning in the war,
determination to make a forward
movement. The Russians have turned
on their foes and are either holding
their own against them or driving
them back. This is something OF a
surprise because the Russians seem
to have formed the habit OF retreat
ing and it was expected that in a
short time they would be showing evil
dence of a desire to come to terms
with the Germans. We do not be-
lieve that during all the history of
wars more successful conquest has
been conducted than by the Germans
in driving the Russians back for the
past two or three months. No one
imagined for a moment last spring
that in so short a. time the Russians
would be driven out of Galicia and
Poland back onto Russian territory.
We imagine that SO many Germans
have of late been called from the
western army that they do not pre-
cent as formidable opposition to the
!.1l!s. saSs they will be able to present
later on. The casualties of both sides
have been unprecedented and the
ranks of the armies of all nations en-
gagged in the war have been thinned
by losses sustained on the battlefield
in addition to, the prisoners which
have been taken. The struggle is still
going on and no one can predict what
the end will be.

HILLS CONFESSION.

| There was something pathetic in the
confession, recently made by DR.. Hill
lis to his congregation in Brooklyn, N
" This celebrated divine had been
looked upon during his ministerial ca
reer, covering many years, as mod
! ell man in every respect. The state
OF Iowa, and especially the western
portion OF it, was proud of the fact
that he was. reared in western Iowa
and was possessed of an ambition
which prompted him, at great sacri
fee to secure an education, and after
he entered the ministry, as he pro
crossed step by step and mounted
higher and higher until he approached
the highest round of the ladder of fame
as a preacher and orator his admir-
ers included not only the people Of
Iowa, but the people generally
throughout the United States His
friends little thought that the lure Of
gold attpaced him and that he was en-
gagged in speculations that ministers
of the gospel should avoid, not only
because they lead to temptations
which are injurious, but for the fur
Their reason that few ministers can
expect to amass a fortune by engag-
ing in speculation. We have no criti-
cism against the minister who owns
property and is in good financial cir
cumstances, but we do think a minis.
ter hurts his influence when he en-.
cages in the scramble for wealth as
DR.. Hills seems to have done. 1t
was a manly thing for him to make a
clean breast Of his faults to his con-
gregation, but it would have been a
manlier thing If he had not put him
self in a position where he felt it was
necessary to make confession.
The church of which DR.. Hills is
pastor was long the church OF Henry
Ward Beecher and it seems little
strange that both ministers have been
accused of committing acts unworthy
of ministers Of the gospel.
