O.sweetly sound the merry bells
%SO.bold and clearly ringing!
And sweet the harp's soft music swells,
Its gentle murmurs finging;
Sweetly the lute's soft voice may greet
The organs swelling anthem come;
But there's no music half so sweet
AS the 'rub-a-dub-dub'of the drum
No wonder that the soldiers heart
With brave and noble daring fills,
That purposes heroic start,
AS on his ear that music thrills;
No marvel at its stirring notes,
That thoughts sublime roll on their
tide,
While over him there proudly floats
The banner of his cOuntry's pride.
Now clearly on the night air calm
That martial strain is loudly swell
ing;
Its echoes wake strange alarm,
And seem of conflict fearful telling;
Insults, too long and tamely borne,
Now loudly call for stern redress;
And twill be given-that warlike tone
And drums deep cadence answerYes
Oh, in this wild, conflicting hour!
In thrilling accents it shall speak,
And onward roll with startling power,
From vale to vale and peak to peak, y
Till thrilling with the kindling word,
Each soul shall glow with purpose
high,
And grasping stern the ready sword,
The hearts of oak shall make reply.
The opening lannon's mouth in vain
May threaten with it's living fire;
In vain spread out the blood-drenched
plain,
Where friend and foe in death expire
They feel no throb of quailing fear,
Their noble souls think not of death
And willing at their country's call,
They yield to her their latest breath

KANSAS CITY'S PURE MILK LAW.

Purity of milk has been vital is
sue with Kansas City for a year
Those who have been fighting for SAT-
er means of production and distribu-
ton of this necessary commodity have
at last won. A law was passed by the
city council recently requiring in
spection and grading of milk. For a
number of years the health depart
ment was supposed to inspect milk
but sighted its work.
A publicity campaign awakened an
interest in the subject The Consum-
ers' League took up the issue and after
visits to many dairies forced the re-
tirement of the head of the health de-
partment. Realizing that the laws
were inadequate, the league, with the
backing of a newspaper, went after

SERBS TO INVADE HUNGARY
Army Is In Better Condition Than
Ever Before.

NISCH. Serbia, May (By Mail to
New York; ).-Completely reorganized
and equipped, Serbia's little army Of
100000 men that has twice already
defeated the Austrian's is today hold
ing itself in readiness for an invasion
of Hungary.
Despite the heavy losses of the Ser
bians, both in their previous conflicts
with the Austrians and in the epidemic
which is still sweeping the country.
their army is now in perhaps better
condition than ever before, thanks
largely to the financial help of the
Allies. The losses in the Serbian
ranks have been largely filled by new
troops that have been whipped into
shape in the provinces of Macedonia
which Serbia acquired in the recent
Balkan wars. The fighting strength is
still I'D to 100000 men, the number
with which Serbia began the present
war.
Without question, however, the most
important Transformation in the Ser
bian army is that in its transporta-
ton. Up to the present time, in all
of its military operations, the Ser
bian army has been obliged to de-
pend almost exclusively for transpor-
tation on OK carts.

MADE IN AMERICA"

One answer to the oft-repeated
question, What will the United States
do, now that she is shut off from the
great German scientific world?" is
found a downtown display window
of "made-in-America" dolls.
Germany has long controlled the
toy market of the world. and a general
increase i'm the price of all toys was
predicted when Germany was cut off
industrially from the great world
markets. An ingenious American
manufacturer has experimental with
wood as substitute for the more ex-
pensive bisque and china and the more
fragile papier-mache. The result is a
doll practically indestructible. yet
beautiful as the most expensive Ger
man product.
The great European War may yet
teach the United States the lesson
which the war of 1912 began: name
ly, that the wsy to do without the out
put of foreign factories is to learn to
make better products at home.

TRANSFERS STRIKE
 IS ON IN ST. LOUIS
Partial Paralysis of Traffic. Mail Is Carried in
 Automobiles

St. Louis, August 13.-Between 1900 and 15oo teamsters employed by St Louis transfer companies struck for higher wages and shorter hours today and brought about a partial paralysis in the movement of freight.
 There was no violence and the transfer companies made no effort to fill the places of the strikers, announcing an offer of minor concessions which they asked the men to consider.
 Federal aid was obtained in moving the mails from East St. Louis to St. Louis.
 Government employees crossed the river in automobiles and got the mail. a Ten wagonloads thus were moved.
 The strike resulted from the failure of the union and of the team owners to sign a new contract to supersede that which expired July 31. The team owners association issued statement saying the employers would give the men until Sat urday evening to return to work and if they did not come back by that time the employers would begin the employment of other men regardless of color.

UNCLE SAM GIVES QUICK JUSTICE ON
 MEXICAN BORDER
(COntinued from Page One)

guard of United States army rifles, ranger and peace officers regard with, instant sus- picion any Mexican who is caught armed If he is slow to explain his life is in i'm mediate danger and if he makes any threatening move his life is forfeited.
 The band north of Brownsville is the only known one of Mexican raiders still undisturbed or not driven across the Rio Grande. It is about half of the band which attacked the Norias ranch house Sunday night.
 So thorough has the ranger search been made that there is good reason to believe that nearly all the marauders have been driven out of the Brownsville section or are so frightened that they will remain peaceful unless they get aid from Mexico
 The raids appear to have completely united Americans of all political factions on one point, to resist the plan of San Diego.
 Apprehension in Brownsville is not about what the Mexicans may do in raids similar to those of the past few days but as to the truth of reports current here that in case of any repetition of Amer jeans landing at Vera Cruz that an at tempt will be made by Carranza troops in Matamoros to sack Brownsville in re- prisal. On account of this belief here, it is said. pressure will be brought to bear to secure more troops at Fort Brown, near here, to protect the city.

Business Normal

New Orleans August 13.-Business con- ditions in Mexico City are more nearly normal than at any time in several years, according to Carranza consular dispatches received here today from Mexico City via Vera Cruz. Gen. Pablo Gonzales, upon orders of General Carranza, the dis patches said. today loaned bankers and mercantile houses $2.5O0,000 gold in order to relieve the financial situation, and all banks and most of the business houses were open.
 The authorities daily are distributing food to hundreds of citizens and all or ganizations for the relief of the general public are working in perfect harmony 1t was said. Governor De Lara has pur- chased large quantities of food in the out lying districts and the provisions are be- ing forwarded to the city by the train load A solid train of supplies left Vera Cruz for the capital yesterday and an- other was being loaded today to follow 1t.
 Three asylums fof indigents have been provided, one each for men, women and children. and three establishments for the manufacture of clothing. shoes and sad dlery have been put into operation by the authorities General Carranza has ordered that all men and dependent women out of employment shall be given work.

Carranza Responsible

San Antonio Tex, August 13.-Con- stituted authorities in Mexico, Carranza followers are responsible for the bandit outrages in the lower Rio Grande coun- try, according to the verdict of a com mittee or prominent citizens, headed by Congressman John H. Garner. who made report to Governor Ferguson and Gen eral Frederick Funston, commanding the southern department. The committee called on the governor at Rockport to- day and the latter arranged for the con- ference in San Antonio with General Funston.
 MT. Garner speaking for the commit tee. said that business men along the border believe that the constituted MeXi- can authorities are prepared to launch a movement of armed men into Texas in the event American troops are again landed in Vera Cruz.
 While the Mexicans would meet defeat in their plan to ravage the state. Mir Garner said it would not be accom- plished before they had destroyed Ameri- can life and property
 Though firm in his belief the Mexican authorities are behind the raids, Mr Garner admitted he could not understand why the Texans had been alarmed be- fore the Mexicans were ready for ag- gressive action. The movement so far he said, cannot be regarded as aggres- sive.
