CAMPAIGNS OUTSIDE
BIG WAR THEATERS

In score OF regions there has
been fighting which would have held
worldwide attention were it not for
the mighty battle lines in France and
Poland
Servia's own war was greater trial
to her than either of the two proceed
ing Balkan struggles. Assisted by
Montenegro, the little Slavic nation
twice threw the hosts of Franz Josef
beyond her borders and inflicted
losses of about 100000 men, but she
suffered severely herself.
The Austrians invaded Serbia in
great force about August Is and pene-
trated to the Jadar river, where a
great five-day battle ended in the
rout of the Teutons.
The Austrians returned soon in
stronger force than ever. They
reached Valjevo, where on November
II the Serbians met defeat.
With their supply of artillery am
munition exhausted the Serbians now
had to retreat The Austrians, be-
lieving them crushed, withdrew six
army corps for re-enforcements
against the victorious Russians in Ga
llcia.
Shells and English tars with naval
guns reached the Serbians, and on
December they turned on the Aus
TRANS and cut them to pieces
The entry of Turkey into the war
was marked by brave, but foolhardy
attempt to invade Egypt. Great Brit
aims Indian and colonial troops threw
the invaders back with heavy losses.
British and Japanese troops invest
ed the fortified German port of Using
tau. China, and after a siege of few
weeks the defenders gave up the hope
less struggle.
A section of the Boer population OF
South Africa revolted. The revolt
was put down by a Boer, Premier
Botha. He then invaded German
Southwest Africa, and after a long
campaign in the waterless deserts
captured the greatly outnumbered
Germans July 81.

FIRST YEAR OF THE
WAR ON THE SEA

At the end OF the first year
of war not a German fighting
craft, except submarines, is
known to be at large outside
the Baltic sea- The Austrian
warships are confined to the up
per Adriatic and the Turkish
fleet to the Sea of Marmora
and adjacent straits. The mer-
chant marine of the central
European powers has disap-
peared utterly from the ocean
highways. Sixty million dol
lars worth of German shipping
lies idle in the docks of New
York, while several times as
much is bottled up elsewhere.
At the same time the German
submarines have inflicted enor-
nous losses of allied shipping.
While both sides have prob
ably concealed many losses,
the following is a fairly accu-
date summary of the number
OF craft which have been de-
stroyed:

FEEDING THE WAR GOD

Nothing could be more indicative
Of the enormous demands of the
European conflict than the current
reports from the munitions factor
les of this country. A dispatch from
Wilmington, the center of du Pont
powder industry, says that orders
have just been placed by the Rus
sian government for sixty million
pounds of powder at 81 per pound
with the stipulation that if delivery
is made on a specified early date
the price shall be $1.33 1-3 per
pound. The shipments from the
Bethlehem Steel Company's plant
are thirty carloads of guns and
shells every forty-eight hours and
with the extensions which are being
rushed by Mr.. Schwab the plant
will soon equal in capacity the
Krupp works at Essen. These two
instances are indicative of what is
going on in smaller plants all ovel
the country. The war god is indeed
hungry and must be fed.

THE END OF THE PHILISTINE

Not a few followers of Fra Ell
bertus have read with keen disap-
pointment the announcement that
the July issue of the Philistine will
be it's last, that the death of Ebert
Hubbard means also the death of
the first and chief vehicle of his
fame.
The Philistine came nearer to be-
ing Hubbard himself that any other
of his publications or endeavors. 1t
was his first literary love and to it
he gave the best of his production,
the sharpest of his wit, the keenest
Of his satire.
What the Spectator was to Addi-
son, the Federalist to Hamilton, the
Yellow Book to Beardsley, the Icon
oclast to Brann, the Philistine was
to Hubbard. He said it was a first
class publication sent at second,
class rates. He used it as Zeno used
his scrolls to promote philosophy
which, if it was shared by anybody
else, he so garbed it in queer words
and twisted phrases as to make il
seem all his own. 1t was his chile
and he loved it and somewhere hi!
soul will welcome the news that with
his going it, too, disappears.

THE FINAL TEST

Prof. Hugo Muensterberg, of Har-
ward, has not been the least of the
geographical Americans in his sup
port by argument of the righteous
ness of Germany in the present
war. Between times he has devoted
himself to the perfection of an in
strument which he calls a sphyg-
mometer. Attached to your arm
this little instrument will detect
whether you are telling the truth.
Not once in thousand trials has it
failed. 1t is as invincible as truth
itself. There is only one last ex-
pertinent to be performed and then
it will be accepted by the most
doubtful. If the professor will put
one Of his inventions on the Kaiser
and ask him if he wanted the war
and the instrument registers a lie
we will buy twelfth of dozen
right off, because we will know its
accuracy is established. The only
stipulation we make is that there
mustn't be any monkeying with the
indicator.

CONCERNING BOMBS

When the ingenious description
of the Internal machine set of in
the Capitol was published many
prudent persons quaked in their
boots lest such widespread infor-
nation concerning an evidence-de-
stroying bomb should result in
scores of similar outrages.
1t is comforting therefore to have
the assurance of DR.. Munroe, the
leading American expert in high
explosives, that a combination of
sulphuric acid, match heads, and
dynamite is not in itself danger
Gus one. DR.. Munroe has tried out
the method which Holt said he used,
and it won't work.
When Hollis description of the
bomb was first made known to Dr.
Munroe he declared that the tale
was most improbable. Even when
the so-called trick" matches were

A CHEAP TAXI SERVICE

There are indications in many
quarters that the jitney bus service,
so widely heralded last winter, is
breaking down. Except in cities
where the business section is con-
gested and the distances compara-
lively short, the jitney will not pay
expenses.
In recognition of this fact the jit-
ney bus owners are substituting a
cheap taxi service for their compe-
tition of the street railways. Here
is a field worthy of their efforts.
There is no reason why American
cities, with cheaper cars, cheaper
gasolene, and cheaper rubber, should
not enjoy what European cities
have had for so many years. There
is a warm welcome awaiting the
cheap taxi in Washington.

MARKET SANITATION

The committee on public health of
the Chamber of Commerce, which
made sweeping recommendations
for the improvement Of sanitary
conditions in Washington markets,
and John Sherman, Superintendent
Of Weights, Measures, and Markets,
who took issue with them about
some Of the methods they recon-
mended, both have the betterment of
market conditions much at heart.
Therefore it should not be difficult
for the committee and the market
officials to get together about the
matter, and work out plan for i'm
provement of sanitary conditions
that will embody the most recent
work in this direction.
Whether screens or electric fans
afford better protection for meats
and whether covered glass cases OF
chilled air repositories for provi
sions are more desirable, is a tech
IllCdl QucSIioIl WllH WHICH,, IL "OulC
seem, the market superintendent il
best equipped to deal. He states
that screens, as recommended fol
all markets by the committee, art
no longer used, because they do no
keep the flies out, and they obstruc
the free passage Of air. That sounds
reasonable. He also states that tn
chilled air protection Of meat il
much better than the glass cover
ing because the latter increases tn
humidity and spoils the meat. I
should be easy to learn whether tina
contention is correct.
The public health committee mad
it's recommendation after a due in
vestigation, and from their repor
it is clear that, in some markets
additional sanitary precautions ar
needed. The public is little inter
ested in the devices to be installed
so long as they are not so costl
that the consumer has to pay an ur
due tariff, and are effective.

ALL HAIL TO THE FARMERS

The highest mathematical unit
that the public has been accustomed
to think in has been millions. There
has for some time been a pretty ac-
curate comprehension of matters and
conditions which were stated in
seven figures. But now the world
must change and especially Ameri-
cans must change and enlarge their
comprehensions to include state
ments expressed in billions.
The war situation, the expendi-
lures, the number of men engaged,
the losses in men and money have
given US pretty good training, but
the supreme test comes when con-
sideration is given to crop pros
poets of this country in the coming
harvest.
The crop estimates issued by the
Department Of Agriculture yester-
day are perhaps the most remark
able ever issued by any government
in the enormous wealth which they
indicate. Think of what it means
to this country as a source of supply
to world debarred by war from its
normal production that half a mil
lion more acres are bristling with
corn stalks than ever before and tina,
the crop is expected to total 1884,
100000 bushels. Think what il
means to have the wheat fields 81,
million acres larger in extent thar
last year with a prospective yield ot
billion bushels. And every othel
crop seems to be keeping pace will
the leaders.
Little wonder that the dispatches
from Chicago announce an unusua
Western inquiry for bonds for in
vestment. The farmer has paid hi
mortgage, has refurnished hi
house, has brought his working
equipment up to date, has cappe'
the climax by getting an AUTOMOBILE
and now he is ready and able t.
look over the investment market an,
make a new kind of callous on hi
thumb by cutting coupons.
All hail to the farmer and all hal
to the greatest year in all hi
history.

BOY, SEVEN, STEALS
$4,000 IN JEWELS
Philadelphia Jeweler Robbed by
Small Accomplice of Thieves
Detectives Believe.

PHILADEI. .PHIA. July s.-Ten thou

theft is believed to have oeen com

The robbery was discovered immedi-
ately after the visit to the store OF two
women. two men and the boy. All were

believe that while Hertz and his clerk
were engaged in conversation with the
adults the boy. schooled In his part,
crawled back of grill work partition

ing the stones.
While Hertz had his back turned and
was putting away some pins that did

CONCERNING THE LOAN SHARKS

In very forceful style, a corre-
spondent of The Times asks what
poor people are to do for money in
emergencies, now that the crusade
against the loan sharks has resulted
in driving them out of the city.
1t is very pertinent question,
and one that should not be lightly
brushed aside by those of US who
are more comfortably placed.
But it is hardly true that there
are two sides to the question. The
typical loan shark is creature al
together evil, and if by chance he
occasionally does some good it is
without intent. It is his chosen
province to prey upon the weak, and
the weaker his victim the greater
his cruel greed.
The loan shark is banished and
should be kept in exile.
At the same time there is i'm
perative need for organizations that
can and will lend small amounts of
money at reasonable rates Of inter
est on unsecured notes to those who
need it badly.
The legal rate in this jurisdiction
is per cent. Such loans cannot be
made at that rate. There is provi
sion that loan company may take
out license and charge l per cent
a month, or IL per cent per annum
It has been proved, not only here
but in many other cities, that un
secured small loans cannot be made
at that rate. The losses more thar
eat up the profits.
The present lsw should be amend
ed so as to permit licensed com
panies under strict regulation t.
charge per cent a month on sucl
loans; and then place the heavies
penalties for violating that privi
lege, as we'll as for enticing the un
wary into seeking such loans.
AS for the pawnbroking bushes
that should be a municipal func
! tion. The municipal pawnshop is
successful institution in many coun
tries, and it should be adopted here
! II is the only safe way TO furnis
facilities for small loans upo

ENdLAND'S TRADE METHODS

1t is certainly disconcerting to
learn from the State Department
that its Investigations serve to verify
the charges that England while
blocking the trade of this country
with neutral countries is undertake
ing to supply these same neutral
purchasers with goods of like
character, some of which are the
actual goods originally shipped
from this country and seized by
English authorities under the pre-
tense of crippling their enemies.
Consul General Skinner has Off
cially confirmed the suspicion that
the heavy re-exports of cotton to
Russia and to neutral nations such
as the Netherlands and Portugal
were in part made up Of the very
cotton which English authorities re-
fused to allow to proceed direct
from American shippers to foreign
customers.
What is true of the re-exporta-
tion of cotton is also true in the
case Of American shipments of cop
per which she has reshipped in
large quantities to France, the
Netherlands, and Italy.
There can of course be but one
object, one motive, in such methods
on the part Of England. 1t cannot
be otherwise than that she sees or
thinks she sees a commercial com
petitor in the making, in this coun-
try, that will, if the war continues
for a considerable time, completely
overshadow in size and formidable
ness the German trade which was
to her such constant source OF
worry and envy. She fears that
what she thought might result, in
directly if not directly, from the
war in the Gripping of German in
dustries and German commercial
prestige will only serve to contrib
ute to the growth and advance
ment of a nation whose prestige
once established will be a thousanc
times more difficult to destroy thar
that of Germany.
Fear, which causes more war;
than any other factor in human re
lations, fear Of commercial cornpe
tition, seems to be leading Englan
/ to risk the good will of her creates
, friend when she needs that goo
will and that friend quite rs mucl
as she ever could.
Certainly the President and Con
, gress, when it gathers, are going t
: be subject to the most continuou
r insistence that American producer
3 and shippers be protected from thi
t plan of trade pilfering. Means an
