LITTLE ROAD IS READY
BUT TOURISTS NOT READY
SWISS LINE is FINISHED AT COST
100000 PER MILE.

GENEVA, July 27-The latest and
finest of the little Swiss mountain rail-
ways has just been opened between
Leuk and Leukehbad. 1t will probably
be the last to be constructed for many
wears to come The new line, begun IN
1912, is six miles and a half long, and
operates by electricity, 1t is mainly a
tourist line, leading from Leug on the
main Simplon line to the beautiful lit
tie watering place and winter resort OF
Leukerbad. 1t also affords access to
the interesting bride path leading to
the summit of the Gemmi Pass, 1900
feet high. The construction of the
line cost over 100000 mile.

OFFICERS ARE
SELECTED FROM
BEST REGIMENTS
ENGLISH EVIDENCE CARE IN MAX.
ING SELECTIONS.
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, July 27-It has been the
general practice of the British army in
the present war to get it's supply of
subalterns from the best territorial
regiments, which correspond to the
crack state guard regiments of Amer
lea. These regiments receive as re-
cruits only young men of a certain
standard of education and social posi-
ton. The Honorable Artillery COM
pany, which consists now of many com
panies and which sprang from the
same historic organization as the Hon
orable Artillery company of Boston,
Mass, is perhaps the best known Of
these regiments in the United States.
But no regiment contributes moro
young officers to the new and regula.'
armies than the Artists Rifles, which
has won commissions for nearly 1905
of its former privates.
The Artists Rifles is composed OF
young professional men of various
callings. It's versatility is illustrated
by an incident that happened in the
early days of the war, when six cleo
trical engineers restored electric lights
to French town, where the lights had
failed with serious consequences. 1t
was the Artists who converted dis
used stable at Bailleul into a bath
house for the men returning from the
trenches.
Soon after going to France, the regi-
ment was turned into training school
for officers on the ground that its ma
terial was too valuable to waste in
the ordinary way.
A man who enlists as private in the
Artists and afterwards obtains a com
mission from the training school in
France, secures his seniority in the
regular establishment, If he desires a
permanent career in the army, from
the date of his first commission. This
training is remarkably thorough, as
the men get all the life and the practi-
cal experience Of privates with the
technical training of officers.

TENANTS ENJOY
FREE RENTALS
IN APAR MENTS
CORNER GROCER HAS ADVANTAGE
OVER LANDLORDS, FOR HE is
DOING BUSINESS STRICTLY FOR
CASH-TAX COLLECTOR KNOWS
NO MORATORIUM.
(By Associated Press.)


PARIS, July 27.-For the fourth
time since the beginning of the war
the hopes of Partisan landlords have
been deferred by the extension of the
period for the payment of obligations
The average tenant finds it easier to
observe the moratorium than to pay
The tax collector knows. no morator>
ium. however, and the corner grocer
and the butcher are doing business on
a strictly cash basis, so the man whose
Partisan estate brings him in only
what he requires to live on is worse
off than the man who has no property
at all.
The latter may apply to some of the
relief organizations; the owner of au
apartment house, however, would be
dW dy.
Out of a total of S0,044 apartment
houses in Paris, according to the
census of 1911, 6S,723 brought in to-
tai revenue of less than 2,400 yearly
while 47,556 produced a net income
of less than 1900 a year. Nearly ev-
cry one of the buildings bringing al
income of $2,4OO or less are inhabited
by families that pay less than 5000 a
year rent each, and consequently are
able to occupy their apartments so long
as the moratorium continues without
paying a cent to the proprietor.
The accumulation of years rem
tails, amounting in the aggregate to at
least fifty million dollars, is develop.
ing thorny question that the govern
ment has found it necessary to take in
10 consideration.
While the moratorium decree al
lows landlords to pursue the collection
of rents in case the tenant is able to
pay, the burden of proof is upon them
and is so difficult that almost wherever
it is tried the result is only an accum-
ulation of costs on top of the accumu
lated rent. No one pays rent willing
ly, even if they are able to do so, for
the reason that most of the modestly
situated tenants expect a compromise,
imposed by law, in the end, as was
done after the war of 1901.
my neighbor doesn't pay they
say, because he wants to get the ben
eft of any reduction that may be made
in the end; if pay and a compromise
is effected after the war, the landlord
certainly won't return me any money.
1t is proposed that the city and state
each assume share of this accumU-
lated burden, while requiring the land
lords to make concessions on their
part, except in the case of tenants who
are we'll able to pay. Some landlords
anticipating such Intervention, have
either reduced or RENTED entirely the
rentals of some of their tenants.

BIRDS REVEAL
APPROACH Of
ENEMY TROOPS
SOLDIERS IN FRENCH TRENCHES
KEEP CANARIES.
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, July 27.-Experiments and
observations made in between times al
the various battle fronts by bird low
ers have revealed some striking char
acteristics of the feathered broods that
have not been frightened from their
accustomed haunts by the war. Quite
as usual as any other conclusion is
the showing that crows, from genera
tons of experience, feaer rife fire but
not artillery fire, while song birds,
never having known the fear of the
hunter and his rifle, break into song
when the guns are fired, but are al
armed at the tremendous explosions of
shells.
Even the trained artillery horses
continue to show more fright at shell
explosions than the birds. The crows
for instance do not even trouble to
take flight when a shell lands near
them but does not explode, and only
rise for an instant when it does go off.
But when the rifles begin to pop they
put as much distance as possible be-
tween themselves and the trenches.
Many of the soldiers have canaries
in their trenches, and have conducted
numerous experiments with them, Us
ually the discharge of a rifle is a
signal for them to sing, and even the
sound of breaking glass will bring the
same result. The same is true to a
great extent of the wild song birds
that abound, especially along the
French front.
The birds of course display sharp
ness of vision that even a powerful tel
escope will not equal, and many times
the warning of an attack has come frs
of all from the crows and other birds,
rising in alarm at some movement
that the sentries for all their watch
fulness had not detected.

Closing In To The South.

Closing In To The South.
To the south of Warsaw, huge
German army directed by Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen, is executing a
movement similar to that inauguratei
by Won Beulow's corps, and the rail
way line connecting Warsaw with
Odessa and the Black Sea is already
seriously menaced. With both these
lines held by the Germans, the Russian
Polish army would be compelled to
rely wholly upon the depot at Brest-
Litvsk for it's supplies, and how long
it would be enable to hold out under
such circumstances is wholly prob
lematical.
The London Times, commenting Oh
the situation declares there exists no
parallel in Europe's military history
for the present German movement,
and expresses the belief that its sue
cess would paralyze the whole system
of Russian defensive railways of which
Warsaw is the center 1t is apparent,
says The Times, that the Germans are
planning to envelope the whole Rus
sian force, and points out that the fall
of Warsaw, and the surrender of the
main Russian army in Poland would
be such blow to Russian power as to
indefinitely postpone any hope of a
resumption of offensive operations by
the Cars armies.
Todays official dispatches from Pet
rograd declare the Germans have
been thrown back at one point along
the river Narew, and this news is Gag
erly seized upon by London observers,
though it is recognized that the final
result of the present campaign hinges
largely upon Russia's ability to pro-
long resistance until winter.
In the west comparative quiet con-
tinued throughout the past twenty
four hours, with neither army, appar-
emily anxious to force the fighting.
In the south, Rome reports assert,
the Italian advances continues, though
progress is not so rapidly as during the
early days of the campaign. Sixteen
hundred Austrian prisoners were tax.
en- during the days fighting, accord =
ing to an official Italian announce
ment
Little interest centers in the Oar
danelles campaign since the fighting
there developed into trench war
fare, and news from that area is
exceedingly scarce this morning.
