year 1917 from all sources will be $1,360,000,000. Against this is an expenditure of ,oo0. At end of the year Britain will face a debt of more than $12,000, 900, 900. and the second year of the war has only just begun! The navy Is costing $900,00O,- 900 year, the army, $3,500,000, 0oO while external advances which in- clude loans and gifts to other coun- tries, have already reached the en- ormous total of 2,10O,O00,000.
 Men may talk glibly about Great Britain not doing her full duty to her allies. But when one considers that her navy has given the allies unlim- ited command of the sea when com- mand of the sea for Germany would have lost the war to them long ago. and when one considers the stern re- solve with which the British nation IS facing this great burden of debt, the account must appear as standing very unevenly balanced. MT. Asquith said soon after the outbreak of the war victory goes to the nation that has "the last f1oo, 1000, ,ooo."

Financing the War.

(New Haven Journal Courier)
 The figures which tell the story of the cost of the war to Great Britain alone stagger the ina gination. If they had not been formally brought to the attention of parliament by the chancellor of the exchequer, they would be regarded with suspic1on.l Coming as they do from that source we can merely catch, our breath and wonder at the false expenditures inn perative.
 Somehow the fact that the British people are spending $25, 100000 a day In holding up their end of the vast European war sounds commonplace in view of the larger figures which sum up the estimated expenditures Of the year, and state the proposed sources of supply. For example. Chancellor McKenna told the house of commons that the estimated rev. enue for the current year was $1,- 60,000,000, while the estimated ex- penditure reached up to the enormous sum of $7,950, 0,0O0000 In order to raise this stupendous sum the credit of the empire must be strained in every possible manner. As an illus- tration it is proposed to increase the income tax to the point where one third of ones income will in some cases be forfeited The grim tax collector will reach out in every con- ceivable direction and seize what must be had to save the nation from bitter defeat. Men and treasure are no longer things to think about. Women and children must bear the1r hai oxxyf11 e,I, 0f den of this vicious war. And then let there be added to this frightful waste, and economic haos the on- tributions, in men, women, children and treasure made by the other belli- gerent. countries.
 Even in his widest flights of fancy Satan never dreamed of writing such a frightful story of slaughter and the sacrifice of the things that the world was supposed to have been taught to hold sacred. No wonder that in this country the great majority set their faces resolutely against a scheme of defense and preparation which would provoke a military spi1it and invite every day in the week the frightfulness of this war in every aspect of it, and We would but multi ply the number of fiends on the face of the earth if we did not insist that no scheme of defense and prepara- t1on shall be showed through con- gress which in the remotest degree contributes to national unrest and wicked ambition. To complete the picture, We have but to let our ima- glnatlons run riot in picturing the noble achievements which could have been consumated by the use of these vast sums of money

The Unwelcomc Startling.
Providence Journal.)


 According to reports from various States the English starling is as un- popular as the English sparrow. These imported birds are credited with char acteristics unknown in their native country, and if half of the stories told about them arc true, persons who import them in the belief that they will be as desirable here as in foreign lands are liable to be disappointed. The record Of the English sparrow in the United States is well known. and now the starling is accused of driv- ing off wrens, f1ickers, swallows and bluebirds. Besides, the starling des- troys much fruit and grain. .. -.
 The blacklisting of the starling by the United States Department of Ag- rivu1ture and various game and fish commissions show that there is jus tification for the numerous complaints Perhaps the recommendation for shooting the unwelcome bird is a pro- pei one, provided the gunners do not kill other birds This is the weak point of the argument for extermina- ton, for there are many ''sportsmen' who if permitted to shoot the starl- ing, will not hesitate to bag the na- tive birds which do much useful work.

Whiskers in Kentucky.

(From the Bowling Green Messenger.)
 The late Governor. Proctor Knott, who knew more different things and knew them better than anybody, once said to the writer that the fashion of wearing a beard was the direct outgrowth of the Mexican war. The Kentucky boys went down clean shaven. At home there was always a negro servant to act as barber. Down in the land of the Montezumas there were no such advantages and the young Kentuckians allowed their boards to sprout. When the war was over they started the style, of course, after having the beard trimmed into comedy shape, and thus the practice lasted for many years.
 The first Governor of Kentucky to wear a beard was Lazarus w. Powell GS51-55,) and while he was not Mexican soldier, he caught the habit. The first President of the United States to wear a beard was Abraham Lincoln. Some of his pictures show him clean shaven, but his latter pie lures always showed "wind-teasers' on his face. .H. e

"GO" MEANS "GO."

Those astute diplomats connected with the Foreign Office of Vienna have at last grasped the situation. And, in consequence. the recall of Dr. Con- stantin Dumba, the accredited Aus trian ambassador to this country, has been forwarded to Washington, arriv- ing there this morning The reverend Doctor will be peremptorily furnished with his passports, the Quadruple En- tente will be asked that his voyage across the briny deep be a pleasant one, and the country will once more settle down to it's former peace and tranquility. It is we'll. Austria has at last comprehended that the United States has not been asking to confer honors upon the learned pr. Dumba; that instead of leave of absence" Company; that the Doctor is persona non grata. Having had this thought drilled through their somewhat re- lenting frontal bones the sponsors of AI. DuIilUd IIldy Ee'sin to real1Zc that when the United States says "Go !" it means "Go." With patient and for bearance the patriots of America have always awaited fina! developments There has never been, in the history of this nation, any jumping at con- clusions. Always our statesmen,- shirt -Sleeyed though thev are and have been,-weight the evidence be-. fore issuing the final decree. So it was with Ambassador Dumba. His case was tried in the final court of tre nation, and he was found wLntin~. He had violated too many sacred rights of our nation to permit his stay ing among us, and so he must go. As far as Dumbai is concerned the incl dent is closed. It is now up to tke Austrians to send a man in his place who is acceptable to this government, one who has regard for the rights and privileges of a people who are suh-.
 servient to neither king nor potentate of any kinda free people, liberty loving people, a fair people, a people who are at peace with the entire
 world and who want to maintain taat peace without the sacrifice of any
 honor. si, ss~s-

NEGRO HELD FOR MURDER.

Lewiston, Me. Sept. 2s.--Alexande~ MoRae, a negro, who said that his home was in Providence, was arrested at Rumford Junction early today and is being held for tho Portland police on suspicion that he might have had some connection with the murder of William R. St. John, night watchman at a wholesale hardware store, at Portland last night. McRao was discovered riding on an oil tank car of freight train from Portland, according to the police, six new au- tcmatic pistols were found on his person. Several pistols are said to have been stolen from the Portland store, and it is supposed that St. John was shot to death when he discovered the burglars working in the store.

The Annual Bonfire.
Waterbury American

Hampton Beach merely furnishes the 1915 fare-up, that is all. There is nothing out of the ordinary in the burning of 75 or 100 structures at a summer resort. It hardly gets into the papers at all, hundred miles away. The only question it stirs is, who will furnish the combustibles next year? And of course every other summer resort says: Mot IT,
 The coasts and the lake shores of the United States are dotted-almost lined-with just such potential bon fires as that which went up, last night, at the New Hampshire resort. Flim- sier cottages shoulder each into suffo- cation. With conditions all about them which would keep a metro politan fire department sitting up nights, the cheery resorters smoke their goodnight cigarettes and sink into untroubled dreams. If they have provided a hand hose reel and 500 feet of hose they sleep doubly secure.
 Perhaps 1t is cheaper to burn these temporary abiding places and rebuild them, every now and then, than it would be to take the necessary pre- cautions in the first place and main tain the necessary safeguards after ward. Even a few lives, now and then, may not weigh in the balance of economy. At any rate nobody seems to learn anything from these frequent confiagrations.

c field. He offered all this as proof that athletics 10 not always lead to an early gl6ve. "We doctors' he said, "shouldktake more interest in school boy athletics and direct them.
 If we are Constantly dwelling on the evils of excess in athletics we will

 ssntence the doctor said it all. If physicians recently graduated from college, would take more interest in
 the young lads in high schools, and
 direct them in their athletics there would be no decrying against the evils of over doing this exercise.
 True, there are many forms of athletics which are not conducive to the best health of those who indulge in them. One of these is marathon
 running. No man can run twenty five miles, without stopping once during the Journey. unless he wracks his
 body in some way. This has been demonstrated, and, as a result, long distance running more than ten miles, has been discouraged to some extent. Tn fact great reform has taken place in every line of athletic en- deavor. Football is not a strenuous as it was some ten years ago. The modern game is not one half as dan gerous as the old style play. So it is with rowing. With the modern improvement of the shells with the ball-bearing, sliding seat and the other parphenalia, no one in condi- ton need fear of over exerting him. self. Tennis, baseball, handball, swim ming, junp ping, and track athletics of various sorts have all been good for past generations when not over- done and the present day boy in high school needs exercise probably more than his pred ecessor. In the olden days the greatest exercise some of the boys got was swinging an axe over a, under the direction of fath- CT, or doing other strenuous chores about the old homestead. Now that these forms of entertainment have been taken away from the 1915 mod- el, let him have athletics.

A Mans Photograph. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Here's the way the average man shows his little book of amateur pho- tographs to a friend: -
 This is supposed to be my wife, but it ain't very good-let's see the next one. We'll, that's the baby, but the sun was wrong. On this page is family group--I took it myself, and it would be good picture if three of lem hadn't moved. Oh yes! Here's one my wife took of me. Looks like the dickens, don't it? She ain't used to the camera-but notice how I'm grinning. ."..@... ..4#.a g
 And d'you see what good back ground I'm posed in? I'd just got back from the office and she just had one film left and thought she might as well snap me and finish up the roll you see, didn't have time to comb my hair or-what? Why, the one on the next page is freak thing my next-door neighbor snapped, showing his baby falling out of an upstairs window. Not much good-he didn't have a good light and the baby was falling too fast to be quite in focus. Now here's another one of me-my wife never could get the hang of the camera, but people say the wink is natural I had quite bunch of 'em printed because she wanted 'em to give around. Oh, those pictures are pretty fair-we took them at the lakes; there's people you don't know in 'em and you'll hardly be inter- ested. Well-hey, Mary! Whats become of that one with me in it? I wish you'd keep all these pictures together-you monkey with this book till all the best ones get lost out!
 Well, I guess the rest won't in- terest you've keep 'em because they're good souvenirs. Lot c my wife's friends posed in the Grand Canyon, and such. A professional photographer don't get the personal touches that make these kodak pie lures nice to keep. Now, just take that one of me you saw back there it's not much good as a likeness, but they tell me there's something char acteristic about it-what? Why turn back-it's on page three.''

Out in Kansas.
(Newspaperdom.)

Out in Kansas, they certainly dc like newspaper men and, judging by the deep interest displayed in Kan sas by newspaperites, the affection is mutual. Kansas newspaper men have no doubt worked for the bet terment of everything that has to do With Kansas, and the people have voiced their appreciation by bestow- ing upon them every elective office. With the exception of one. Here is the present situation:
 Arthur Capper, editor of the To-. peka Capital, Governor of the State: w. Y. Morgan, editor of the Hut crimson News and director of the Associated Press, Lieutenant-Gover- nor; Earl Akers, editor of the Staff ford Republic, State Treasurer; w. F. Davis editor of the Dodge City Globe, State Auditor; J T. Botkin, editor of the Galena Republican; Secretary of State, former Senator Bristow, editor of the Salina Journal. chairman of the Utility Commission; Charley Harger, editor of the Abil- enc Reflector, head of the Prison and Charity Board, Charley Sessions, To- peka correspondent of the Kansas City Journal, secretary to Governor Capper and, for two terms, Secreta Bi of State; Dan Anthony, editor of the Leavenworth Times, a congressman: J. R. Connolly, editor of the Colby Free Press, is congressman; Ed Hoch, editor of the Marion Record, head of the State Board of Admins tration. Three newspaper men hold down jobs in the Senate and six have been sent to the House.

Dead Beats"
(Boston Advertiser.

It still appears that many Amer jeans who received help from the Governm ent in order to get them out of the war zone, at the outbreak of the European conflict, have not yet settled with the Treasury Department for their just debts. It may seem strange to the average man that any American who can afford to repay loan made under such conditions, will try to shuttle out of his or her obligations, so meanly and ungrate- fully. But the dead beat, so called, it to be found among the socially pre- tentious as we'll as in the slums. Take the case of Harvard College, for ex- ample. That institution has helped out of it's invested funds, thousands of undergraduates who were too poor to get an education without such help. Some of these men have gone out into the world, have been markedly suc- .cessful-and yet have failed to reim- purse the college for the money that gave them the very foundation for their success. It would surprise the general public to know how numerous these cases of thanklessness are Sec- retary McAdoo. says that he is going to expose the dead beats of last year., If Harvard College should follow his ex- ample, the public would be treated to even more sensational surprises. @

Wood Alcohol-Poison!
American Medical Journal

Despite unceasing endeavor to pro- hibit the sale of wood alcohol, this poisonous article is still used in the manufacture of quack medicines, hair-tonics, cheap whisky, essences, innocent person is killed or made blind from it's effects. Recently three persons died and two others were completely blind from drinking cor dial made partly of wood alcohol It Is not generally known that poisonous symptoms follow it's external applica- tion, as well as from taking it into the stomach Thus rubbing the body with it after Turkish or other baths, burning it in "alcohol'~ lamps, using it for vanishing pianos, beer-vats, small rooms, etc., may induce slow and often unsuspected but serious damage to the digestion, sight, and nervous system. The manufacturers of wood alcohol have succeeded in removing the unpleasant odor and taste, disguising it in this way to fac iiitate it's sale; but it's poisonous pro- pcrties are still there, and this "de- odorized" alcohol under whatsoever name it may be called should not be purchased for domestic use. It should be the self imposed duty of every citi- zen, not only to abstain from using the posion himself, but to use his in- f1uence in bringing about a law to stop its manufacture and sale. All preparations containing, this ingred- tent should be put in the list of pois- ons and labeled with the skull and cross-bones

No Excuse For This.
(Springfield Republican. }

For the Attack on the Royal Pal ace at Stuttgart Wednesday by an allied fleet of aeroplanes no good ex- cuse can be made. It was not legitimate act of war, and that Ger man Zeppelins have been doing the same sort of thing with more harm to non-com batants does not help the case For retaliation in the use of poison gas and jets of fire there might be some excuse if it should appear that resort to these devices was a military necessity But it is the strongest indictment of the casual at tack upon a civilian population by dropping bombs from aircraft that this murderous practice has little or no military value, and retaliation is revenge pure and simple, and not ethically to be justified. It is not even a deterrent, because the Germans can always win in a competition in vandal- ism, and very likely are secretly de- lighted with every attack on their own cities which gives a pretext for keep ing up mode of attack which had been planned for long before the war began. The attack on Carlsruhe was the signal for a fresh raid on England no doubt the next bombardment of London will be called a reprisal for the barbarous attack on Stuttgart. When savage .reprisals are kept up, the question as to which side began a barbarous practice inevitably drops into the background, German apolo- gists still assert thata the French be- gan it by dropping bombs at Nurn- berg and other German towns at the very moment of beginning. war, and while proof has never been forthcom- ing historical origins are notorious ly hard to clear up beyond cavil.

The Country's Financial Burden.
 (New York Herald.) :s

It is an axiom that the English man always rises to the greatest heights when his country is in it's worst straits. History shows that the kingdom has always had to go through most severe trial before 1t found itself. This was true of Boer war, the last great strain that was put on the Empire, and it was only when buffeted, kicked and debased by humiliation and defeat that tho country arose equal to the occasion.
 What is happening now is, only on a larger scale, multiplied manyfold, the repetition of history. It is diff cult for the human mind to realize the stupendous figures of the financial burden that England is assuming. In the House of Commons the Chancellor of the Exechequer has announced forty per cent, in crease in the in come tax and other drastic levies. Under this increase an income of $50- 900 a year will pay an annual in- come of $12,645. The income for the
