Compare Major and Hadiey.
A st. Louis paper Of recent date
makes the following interesting com
parison OF the careers OF Governor
Major and former Governor Hadley:
1T is interesting to note how close
ly, though not Intentionally, Governor
Major has followed Governor Hadley.
Hadley, after serving a term as attor-
ney general. became governor. So
did Major. After becoming governor
Hadley gave three Of his assistants
the best offices in his gift ignoring
the fourth. So has Major. Governor
Hadley first appointed Kennish insu-
rance commissioner, and later appoint
ed him to the supreme bench. He
made Frank Blake pardon attorney,
and later on made him insurance COM
missioner. To Rush Lake fell the Of
flee of coal oil inspector, while to N.
T. Gentry he CAV nothing.
Now Governor Major, after making
Revelle insurance commissioner, has
appointed him to the supreme bench.
Largely through his influence Blair
was appointed to the supreme court
commission, and by the assistance Of
his administration was advanced to
the supreme bench. He made John
M. Atkinson president of the pbulic
service board.
But for J.. M. Dawson, another as
sistant he has done nothing. Dawson
will be remembered as the one who
filed for senator against Ston and
Wallace, believing the reports of the
senator's bad health. he was willing
filed for senator against Stone and
Dawson would have won oyer Wallace
and would now be our senator.

Renew Activities.

London.-As a measure of elemen-
tary prudence, Greece has ordered the
mobilization of her naval and military
forces.
Thus the action of Bulgaria in max
ing military preparations brought the
last remaining Balkan states under
arms, for Rumania, while not fully
mobilized, for some time has had her
troops ready for an emergency.
"a decree has been promulgated
convoking the chamber of deputies on
Wednesday to pass an act of martial
law and to put at the disposal of the
government all the state railways"
says a dispatch from Athens to the
Exchange Telegraph.
"The transportation of merchandise
has been forbidden" the dispatch
adds, and continues:
Without distinction of parties the
press unanimously approves the meas-
nres taken by the government in de-
Tense Of Greece.
"All Greek steamers have been
requisitioned. A moratorium will be
Immediately established"
London.-"The battle north of
Lutsk was a great success for the
Russians. We took 1000 prisoners
and r%ecaptured the town of Lutsk,"
says the Petrograd correspondent Of
Reuters Telegram Company.
The successes which the Russian
General Ivanoff has been having in
Galicia and volhynia, it is considered
in military circles here, may still have
an influence in more than one way
in the Balkans.
These successes, which extend to the
Rumanian frontier, would in the
opinion of military observers, serve
to ease the situation on the Rumanian
flank should Rumania join Russia, and
in addition might well prevent the
Austro-G srmans from sending an ar
my, which it is estimated must con-
sist Of at least a half million men, to
make an attack on Serbia.
There has been a continuation Of
the furious artillery struggle in the
west. According to the Berlin official
report a British attack south of the
La Bassee canal broke down under
the German fire.
After a fortnight of comparative in
activity during which they sank only
five British merchant ships, German
submarines again are on the move off
the Irish coast. Since Tuesday they
have sent five British steamers to the
bottom.
