Aspiration carries one-half the
way to ones desire.-Elizabeth Glib
son.
The higher a man climbs the far
Their he falls when he takes a tum-
BILE.
In England there is greater de-
mand for the man who can make a
bullet than for the man who can
shoot rifle.
Col. Roosevelt is supporting Pres
ident Wilson's present attitude in
the controversy with Germany. This
leaves the two colonies as far apart
as usual.
If Secretary Bryan doesn't get the
Noble peace prize this year his
friends will have reason to feel ag-
grieved. Hasn't he died, politically,
for the cause of peace?
Col. Young advises all 1owans to
stay away from the European war
zone. This is a piece of advice that
will be generally observed, even if
the colonel did give it.
If the national government is
moved to Des Moines the capitol ex-
tension farm will come in mighty
handy. Perhaps that is what Gov.
Clarke had in view when he induced
the legislature to buy it.
The recent census returns show
that Hamilton county has over 5000
able bodied men fit for military du-
ty and subject to military call. 1t
would be interesting to know how
many of this number want the OPP
portunity of serving this year.
According to news dispatches,
Germany has levied a tribute as a
war indemnity upon Belgium of ST.
225,O00,00O. That amounts to
more than SITS per head for each
man, woman and child in the strick-
en- little empire.
Col. Young declares that if Eng
land had had an army of $780,
600 men available last August there
would have been no war. He evil
IDENTIFY believes that Austria would
not have started the fight had Eng
land been ready.
The increase in value of Iowa
farm land in the last ten years is
greater than the increase in value of
all the farm land in Montana, Idaho,
Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico,
Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Arkansas,
Louisiana, and Oregon combined.
If the fight for the republican
nomination for governor of Iowa be-
comes bitter between Allen, Cosson
and Harding it is possible the re-
publicans may turn to c. A. Rawson
of Des Moines as one upon whom the
party can unite and win the usual
victory.
The Italians are preparing to
open recruiting office in Des
Moines. Already more than 100.
Italians of that city have expressed
a desire to return to Italy to fight.
They are for their country, fright
or wrong" and the world respects
them for it.
Senator kenyon's plan to prevent
war would surely accomplish its
purpose if put into practice through
out the world He suggests that ev-
cry emperor, king, president, sena-
tor and congressman who votes for
war be placed upon the firing line
in the first battle.
The farms of Iowa are worth more
than the farms of Maine, New

London, Oct. 23rd-A Serbian official dos-
patch states: "Ihe situation is becoming
more serious. The resistance Of the Serbian
troops is desperate and heroic, but the strong
pressure Of the Austrians and the Germans
from the north. and the masses OF the Bul-
garians from the east are menacing seriously
the Serbian army, which is cut off from Salo-
MICA. The arrival Of the Allied troops is
awaited anxiousIy".
a German official bulletin announces: Q
Che entire Serbian front our allied troops are
slowly pursuing tbs enemy. The Serbians
have been driven III a southelly direction
from strongly fortified positions south and
east Of Ripanj, and our advance guards have
reached the epojevac-Leskovac-B line.
West of the Morava the Germans are push
ing forward via Selevac, the Bulgarians are
fighting at Negotin, and further south have
reached the Zaiechar-K e%jazevac highroad."
A Vienna official statement says: eve
have entered Sabac, and the Macya plain has
been cleared of the enemy. General Koyess
and the Germans are advancing on both sides
of the Moraya and are continually pressing
further into Serbian territory.
A Bulgarian official despatch says: Our
troops are advancing step by step IN the
Timok valley and are now before Negotin,
whence the Serbiqns fed in panic, leaving
one officer and 60 men prisoners, and one
officer aud $50 men killed. Near Prot our
troops, after stubborn battle, took posses
sion of the Vidlic, PlaninN and Kolivabe tow
ers, these being very important strategical
points. About Vranya our troops have
strongly established themselves, having clear
ed the valley OF the Moraya for u distance of
21 kilometres north and northeast. Our
booty at Vranya has not yet been determined
but it includes 1900, 600 cartridges, /, 000,000
francs worth of tobacco. In B%oltnOWitz we
found 100000 Kilograms of hay. In the
valley of the Bre9alnitza our offensive is pro
glessin the whole of the valley and the
plateau being in our hands, besides several
towns. Our cavalry overlook the Serbians
near Kisseli and completely dispersed them,
about 1000 being captured, and others es-
cuplug through the darkness. Our troops
were rece we'd with indescribable enthusiasm
in the liberated region"
A French official communicate states
"Following the bombardment reported east
OF Rheims,aloLg a front of eight or nine kilo-
metres Letweon the Butte de Fir aud
Prunay. the Germans renewed the attack
which had failed miserabIy befole in the
same region, but despite the violence of
their preparatory artillery fire and the in
creased density of the blanket of suffocating
gases, the enemy suffered further check.
Thrice the assailants endeavoured to pene-
trate our positions, but were decimated by
the fire of our machine-guns and the con
centrated fire of our artillery, and they were
finally halted before our barbed wire en-
tauglements, having been unsuccessful in
gaining possession OF any points III onr first
line.

pedo him without notice, and Tollman walked to the bench instead of the home plate. But that isn't all about Tollman. Sometimes he doesn't walk. Once was in the third when Mckinley mistook an upshoot for drop and instead of driving the ball through Carrington's aesophagus sent it soar ing toward the sunshine in the shape of a foul fly. Everybody yelled: "you can't get itw but Tollman did, and it was the third out that inning. Of course he missed third strike at the wrong time, but that was because he was trying to josh the batter in stead of playing ball.
 Then there was Rice, sailor among sailors. Talk about fast work. In the sixth Rice had to run from fly and catch it coming over his head and he did. Some wise guy tried to ring four bells and a jingle on him but Rice was ashore and never re- versed.
 There were two jokes pulled off without rehearsal, one against the Sewardites and one in their favor. Darlington is smiling yet. Not at the first one. Darlington has way of catching a batter asleep and shoot ing strike at him without waiting to wind up. He tried it on Rice in the third but Rice wasn't asleep and by putting his bat hard-a-starboard roll ed the ball nicely to Campbell at third. Evidently Campbell was not in on the play because just as the ball was roaming around in his vicinity he was very much preoccupied looking for four-leafed clover in the immacu- late lawn on which ball games are played in Seward and Rice edged his way to first base and waited for the umpire to disqualify him for impos- ing on Carrington's combination Meanwhile Leaf, who had taken ad- vantage of temporary fog to reach first base and various other bases, crossed the home plate and scored the score-for the sailors.
 But the great joke was in the six tn. With two out, O'Connor had

reached second base, TolIman had dropped a third strike, and Bragg had driven a line fly so fast over TayIOr's head that Taylor tucked instead of trying to reach it, one Smith started another line drive for Fourth of July creek and then started after it him self. Darlington, instead of duchng stuck out both hands to protect him self, and the ball stopped in one of them.
 But that isn't the joke.
 The joke is, Darlington never smil- ed,-until after the game.
 It was all good ball, from start to finish, and in the same conditions and with the same players the score might easily be reversed. Three times the third man was put out with the bases full. Twice that luck was against the Sailors, but that is the luck of good base ball. Everyone played ball all the time.

YESTERDAYS BALL GAME.
Sailors vs. Seward.

It was a great game all right, all right! The sailors played better ashore than the Stewards could hope to play aboard ship. So, in way, the sailors had the best of it. But the Stewards won, according to rules, and believe this Chechako they had to play real ball to win. If those sailors ever stay ashore long enough to quit lodging rain drops they will put up game that will make the rest of us sea sick.
 The fact of the matter is that every individual on each side did so well that their record ought to be publish ed. Here it is:

 Of course the result might have been different. For instance, if some body hadn't hollered "mush" Toll man wouldn't have started mushing from third base at the wrong time. As it was, "mush" was the cue for the submarine catcher Mckinley to tor
