Great Britain has been forced TO place
cotton on the contraband list is pointed

Serbian airmen, the automobile and ar

immense masses of munitions and war
stores of all kinds have been poured
into the country.
Large quantities have been received
from Russia. This may appear strange,
as Russia was supposed TO be herself
short of ammunition.
Austrians' Guns Turned on Owners.
The explanation is that in the first
Galician campaign Russia captured 1T
Plzcmvsl and elsewhere immense
quantities of Austrian munitions. The
Serbians. on their side, during the rout
OF the Austrian army captured hundreds
of guns and thousands of rifles. In or
der that these may be used against
their former owners, Russia has sent TO
Serbia the necessary ammunition from
the captured stores. This they were
able to send by water.
The Danube is one of the few water
ways that have been internationalized.
One bank is Rumanian and ia other
Serbian, while a short portion runs be-
tween Serbian and Austrian territory.

QUESTION OF SALARIES
FOR STATE OFFICIALS

The last legislature passed an act
regulating the salaries of the various
officials of state government The pro-
visions of this enactment win become
effective at the date of the inauguration
Of the new administration, hence its
sections afford interest says the Ne
va /, Newsletter. The act reads as
follows;
''Section l. From and after the first
Monday in January. 1915, the fol-
loWing annual salaries shall be paid the
ratious state officers of this state, at
tno time ana in the manner prescribed
by law: TO the governor, $1,000; to the
secretary of state, $500; to the state
urer, $500; to the lieutenant governor
$1,000; to the attorney general, $4,000,
to the surveyor general, $500; to the
superintendent of pubic instruction;
$4,000; to the. clerk of the supreme court,
$4,000; to the superintendent of state
printing, $500; to the inspector of mines
49, o00.
See. >. The foregoing sums shall be
| in fun payment Of all duties now or
hereafter required of such officers not
only for the ordinary duties of such Of
flee but for all other duties required
of such officers in any manner what
ever,
| Sec. 3. All acts and parts of acts
in conflict with this act are hereby re-
| peaIed."
IL will be noted that this statute
does not expressly refer to "eX-ofticio'
duties of officers, hence there has beer
some talk to the effect that the at
an additional salary of $500 as eN-offict
land commissioner a position and SALARY
created by the legislature of 1907, at
dime when the attorney gtneral was
receiving but the salary of $1,000 an
nually. This would bring his salary t.
a total of $1,000 a year, if it could b;
construed that he is entitled, on an,
af-tr-"the 4th day of January, to tn
emolunents of the eXofficio position
However, the provision to the eff
feet that the salaries shall be in pay
ment for all the "ordinary duties of sue
officers but for all other duties require
of such officers in any manner what
ever" seems to show clearly that tn
legislative intent was to do away wit
