The "Scrap of Paper"

The arguments of the new Greek cabinet to prove
that Greece IS not bound by her treaty with Serbia to give
The latter country armed support in the present crisis are a
painful exhibition of a pettifogger's attempt to escape an
honorable obligation. 1t is obvious that King constantine
Is eager to adopt any excuse, no matter how name, to cs-
caps waging war with the Germanic powers.
The conduct of the Greek government is about on a
par with the conduct of the Italian government at the be-
ginning of the war, with the difference that the Italians
had good excuses and the Greeks have poor ones. The
Italian treaty of alliance with Austria provided that in case
Austria sought to extend her territory into the Balk-
ans Italy should be given compensation. Italy received no
notice of Austrian designs. But an excuse of much great
er validity was to be found in the fact that Italy had agreed
10 make war on the side of Austria and Germany only in
case they were attacked.
So far as the public has received enlightment, it ap-
pears that the treaty between Greece and Serbia required
in plain terms that Greece should give armed assistance to
Serbia IN case the latter country were attacked bv Bulgaria.
The condition precedent has been fulfilled, but instead of
abiding by her obligation Greece begins to split hairs, ar
guing that the treaty was intended TO apply only to
Balkanc affairs and never contemplated a situation where
Bulgaria would attack Serbia as the ally of Germany or
Austria. 1t is a weak, dishonorable and pitiable plea and
puts the Greek government in the scrap of paper"
category.
The treachery of Italy was disgracefu1, but stronger
.erms would be necessary to describe the treachery of
Greece, or rather let us say of the new Greek cabinet, for
The people of Greece are willing to keep their plighted
Word.-Sa1t Lake Tribune.

Wars Effect on Copper

Those who are referring constantly to the present
enormous production of copper apparently do not appre-
ciate the fact that the output of the Butte district Tor the
first seven months of this year was smaller by 100000
odd pounds than for the corresponding period OF 1914.
The leading p~orphyry mines had produced about 10000
600 pounds less copper up to the end OF July than they
did in the first seven months of 1914. There has been
an enlarged output from Alaska, due to the heavy ship
ments of very high grade ore by the kennecott Copper
company: but the initial shipment of the Chile Copper
company did not arrive in this country until last week.
Production is very much larger now than it was earlier in
the wear when most of the mines were curtaling, but 1t
is not very greatly in excess OF the highest record reached
last year.
There exists a diversity of opinion as to what effect the
termination of war will have on the copper trade. Mar

Magneslte is one of the many mineral products for
which an increased domestic demand has been created bv
The disturbance IN Europe, says the Mining and Scientific
Press. Before the war the United States was consuming
100000 tons of this substance, obtaining 10000 tons from
Austria and 10000 tons from Greece. Until April, ship
ments of Austrian magnesite were obtained on Italian YES
sells sailing from Trieste, but the trade has now ceased.
imports from Greece are likewise no longer available as
heretofore. Hence the latter market for the California
product. We may add that the Greek magnesite is used
mainly in plastering and fire-proofing, it being too infusi-
bic for metallurgical purposes, for which purpose the Aus
trian product is better adapted by reason of an admixture
of iron oxide that renders it less refractory and there
more suitable for fuslng into a solid furnace-bed. The
ordinary price for dead-burned magneste as delivered
New York or Chicago is SEQ per ton; now the price is SIS in
California, making the price of the product about So when
delivered in the east.

Morenci and the neighboring mining districts of Cliff
ton and Netcalf are the scenes OF a thinly disguised out
break of anarchy. in which the sinister figure of Mover
looms bigger than that of the governor of Arizona, SAYS the
Mining and Scientific Press. We do not know all the
rights OF the quarrel; the miners may have legitimate griev-
ances. but we sympathize with the managers in their refusal
to negotiate with Meyer and his criminal association. The
flight of the three managers from their posts of duty to
FL Paso cannot be imputed to lack of physical courage; we
accept the explanation that it was done to remove an in
cltement to violence that would have involved innocent resi-
dents, now terrorized BY the Western Federation of Min
erS. The governor, as is usual in such cases, is para1vzed
BY political considerations and is a shuttlecock between the
the department of commerce and labor is a confession Of
ineptitude, but it may prove the best solution of the diff
Guilty. If that is done, we may hope for an impartial in
quiry.

Staggering Statistics
Of Big Wheat Crop

Some interesting statistics concern
ing North Dakota's hundred million
bushel wheat crop have been collected
in Grand Forks. Some of the figures
are startling. For instance, to haul
this crop in thousand bushel cars
there would be required a solid train
of over 500 miles long, train so
long that while the engine was whist
ling for Chicago, the caboose would be
just about Devils Lake. All of the
North Dakota wheat crop, with the ex-
ception of a small fraction is hauled
in cars of approximately that size
These cars are not hauled at one time,
or in one train, but the hauling of them
gives employment of an army Of men.
The wheat raised in North Dakota this
year would be enough to privide each
man, woman and child in Belgium
with 300 pounds of -four, far more
than enough to make bread for all Of
Belgium for year.

CerlllanyWold
Arbitrate the
Arabic Loss

Berlin, Sept. 8, via London.-In it's
note to the United States on the sink
ing of the White Star liner Arabic the
German government says that it most
deeply regrets that lives were lost
through the action of the commander;
it particularly expresses this regret to
the United States on account of the
death of American citizens, and adds:
"The German government is unable,
however, to acknowledge any obliga:
ton to grant indemnity in the matter
even if the commander should have
been mistaken as to the aggressive in
tention Of the Arabic"
IF it should prove to be the case
that it is impossible for the German
and American governments to reach a
harmonious opinion on this point, the
German government would be pre-
pared to submit the difference of opin-
ion, it being a question of international
law, to The Hague tribunal for arbi-
tration, pursuant for the specific pur-
pose of settlement of international dis
putes."

Attorney Says State Has
No Boodegging Law

Mandan, Sept. 8.-An interesting
question has arisen in the case Of the
state of North Dakota against Carl
Meier, who was bound over to the dis
trict court in Judge Pollard's court re-
Gently, on the charge of bootlegging.
Attorney Hogan, of New Leipzig,
who is the attorney for the defend
ant, states that we have no bootleg
cling law in North Dakota. He AYERS
that as the last legislature repealed
the old bootlegging law and the new
law is being held up on the referen-
dunn petition which received hundreds
of signers, that there does not exist
law in the state.
Mr.. Hogan plans on taking the mat
ter up for decision before Judge Han
ley on writ of habeas corpus. In the
meantime Meier is being held at the
Bismarck Jail, which is being used
by the Morton county sheriff temper
arily.
States Attorney LANCER, however,
contends that the bootlegging law
will hold good and will fight the
granting of a writ.

Americans Kidnapped by Bandits

Americans Kidnapped by Bandits
Washington, Sept. 10. - State and
war department officials were arous'
ed today over the kidnapping of an
american citizen by Mexican bandits
at Columbus, N. NJ, John Lowenbruck,
a ranchman, was seized by band of
Mexicans, said to be soldiers, carried
across the border from Columbus, and
word sent back that he was being held
for a $4,000 ransom.
Secretary of State Lansing sent
representations to General Villa de-
manding that the ranchman be re-
leased. Columbus borders on the
state of Chihuahua which is under
Villa Control. The administration has
reports indicating that General Villa
is losing control of some Of his forces
in northern Mexico and that many OF
his soldiers have broken away from
their commands and organized into
beligerent bands, adding to the men
acing conditions along the border.
It was stated at the war, department
tonight that no order had been sent
to American commanders on the bor-
der. There was, however, an intima-
ton that United States forces would
not hesitate to cross the border to res
cue the kidnapped American, if his
whereabouts could be ascertained.

J|TMEYS WIN DECISION
IN APPELLATE COURT
Injunction Sought by Virginia Railway
and Power Company Ia Refused
Promptly by Judges.
CASE NOW FINALLY SETTLED
Railway Company Has No Further
Appeai-Decision T--ted On In
depreciation of Section 124--Regu-
lation Matter for Municipality.

The State Supreme Court of APP
peals. Judges Keith and Cardwell sit
ting, denied the petition of the Vir-
ginia Railway and Power Company
for an injunction restraining the oper-
alton of jitney buses without fran
chise.
The case came before the court on
an appeal of the railway company
from the decision OF Judge Crump, of
the Law and Equity Court, denying the
injunction asked for.
Final Disposition.
The decision of the State Supreme
Court ends the case, as there is no
further appeal for the company.
Argument was hea I'd on the case for
several hours yesterday morning and
decision rendered almost Immediate
ly. Attorneys Henry w. Anderson.
Randolph Williams and Andrew Chris
tan. Jr., represented the Virginia
Railway and Power Company. and
Richard E Byrd, G B. Garnett and
d. c. O'Flaherty represented the jt-
ney interests.
The argument was along the same
lines as pursued In the lower court.
attorneys for the company contending
that the clause in section 124 of the
Constitution OF Virginia making the
consent of the municipality a condi-
ton to the operation Of transportation
companies "and Ike enterprises" The
courts decision hinged upon the con-
struction Of the phrase land like en-
terprises." the court sustaining Judge
Crumps opinion that It does not ap-
ply to the operation of the jitney bus.
Matter of Comparison
The court also seemed to be i'm
pressed with the argument that the
Jitneys are no more In violation of
the law than hacks and carriages let
for hire and that If one violates sec
ton 124 OF the Constitution the other
does likewise.
Attorneys for the titney interests
also held that the question of regu-
iation OF the ttneys is municipal
matter in which the State court has
no Jurisdiction.

AERIAL TlIMBLlNG
EXPOSITION FEATURE

Visitors to the San Francisco Fair
say that for the latest exploits in
aviation, no one in the country is
match for Art Smith. who Is a
sensation at the big show His ex-
hibition Of aerial insanity" as he
calls 1t. has astounded exposition
visitors from all over the country.
Smith holds the record for looping
the loop. with twenty-five consecutive
loops. He starts at a height OF 2,5oo
feet and then turns loop after loop
like q tumbler pigeon until he is
just above the ground.
Nor are the loops his only contrt-
crowds. A kite in a gale of wind
couldn't act more insanely. Right
over the crowds and not more than
five hundred feet high. he rolls over
sideways. somersaults forward and
backward. and then rolls across the
wind like a barrel rolling downstairs.
The most remarkable thing con-
nected with his wonderful perform
ance is how Smith keeps his motor
going VIXEN he is upside down in the
air. He does this by having two
Rayfield carburetors attached to his
motor. one. so arranged that II will
feed the fuel when the motor is
right side up. and the other when
1t IL upside down. Smith says that
the power developed in his motor
through the use OF the RayfieId car
buretor is the one thing that makes
II possible for him to climb directly
upwards repeatedly. as he must do
when he makes his famous loops.

DROUGHT IN VIRGINIA
IS BECOMING SERIOUS
Crops and Pasturage Affected
Throughout the State, While
Forest Fires Add to Loss.

The need of rain all over Virginia
is great. Although the drought prom
ised TO be broken few days ago
the rainfall was slight and the good
done was practically nil. The con-
tinued dry weather is having SER
ious effect upon tobacco in Eastern
Virginia, upon grazing lands and crops
OF all kinds in the Southwest and is
causing alarm in the valley.
The deficiency in rainfall since the
beginning of the year has been large.
In Southwest Virginia yesterday, said
Governor Stuart, who has recently
returned from his home in Russell
County, rain is badly needed and I'M
the loss to the farmers will be great.
Effect on Tobacco.
The drought has had a serious effect
upon tobacco In Southside Virginia.
In Dinwiddie and Brunswick especially
the crop Is very backward, and spring
grass is retarded. the fields offering
no better pasturage now than earlier
in the season.
Smaller offerings in tobacco because
of the drought IS the rule in the to-
baceo markets fthe State.
The deficiency in rainfall In the
valley since the beginning of the year
amounts to nearly ten inches. This
is about one-half as much deficiency
as the year 1914 experienced, and
the droughts then extended over per-
Tod from April until late in the fail.
This deficiency has all occurred since
February /.
Early pastures around Staunton
were benefited TO some extent by the
showers of Sunday before last, but
