MONTHS SWEDEN I ]
 ENGLAND

LONDON, July 1O.-The Norwegian ship Hansen has just arrived at Shoreham, England, from Sweden, after being eleven months on a trip which ordinarily occupies less than a fortnight. The excessive caution of the skipper in avoiding war dangers was responsible for the delay.
 A few days after the Hansen left Sweden the war broke out, and the vessel immediately put into a Nor wegian port to wait for things to settle down. Several times during the autumn and winter the skipper re- solved to make a new start, but each time he was deterred by news of mine fields or submarine activities in the vicinity. It was April when he fin ally got away, and then, in order to avoid submarines, he took round. about course north of Scotland and west of Ireland.
 His caution was in vain for of the south Irish coast he was stopped by a German submarine, but after some delay was allowed to proceed.

SUPREME COURT CLEANS UP
 CALENDAR

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-Adjourn- ment of the Supreme Court for the summer months marks the completion of 25 years operation of the present judicial system, instituted by the Evarts law of 1890. This law created the nine circuit courts of appeals, which virtually became a sort of sub supreme courts to relieve the highest tribunal of the great pressure of cases which were congesting it's docket and contributing to the laws delays.
 At the opening of the new system the Supreme Court was three years behind in its work, and much more time elapsed before cases were de. cided. Three years passed between the time a case was docketed there and the time it's was presented, com pelte, to the justices for decision.
 Today. the Supreme Court is only one year behind on it's work. During the 25 years, 10,766 cases have been filed there-an average of 430 a year, more than one for every day. During that time the court has disposed of l1,419 which included 1900 waiting when the new system went into effect. But for the latter the court now would be abreast of it's work.
 During the court year just ended, 52S cases were filed and 539 were disposed of and the docket now con talns 535, the smallest number dur ing the last six years. Only three years in the courts history saw more cases disposed of. They were 1S9O 1912 and 1913.

MELBOURNE, Australia, July 1O.-- Australia has set a number of records for distance including the despatch of troops thousands of miles to the fir ing line and the extraordinary ex, ploits of the submarine AE-2 in GOV. ering 30,000 miles before her loss at the Dardanelles. Hundreds of wounded Australians are also to be brought back to the Commonwealth from the hospitals at Alexandria as soon as the heat of the Red Sea has lessened. The influx will begin about next October or November, but already steps are being taken to cope with the situation. The Red Cross will bear the brunt of the burden and arrangements for money, supplies, hospital room and other necessities are being made. Many offers of private homes are forthcoming although it will be sev- eral months before the wounded men arrive.

BERNIE, Switzerland, July 10.-An amendment to the Swiss Federal Con- stitution, providing for the levying of a special war tax to meet the expenses incident to mobilization of the army for the maintenance of Swiss neutral ity, which was submitted to a refer endum vote of the entire people has been accepted by an overwhelming majority, the vote being 435,5OO to 26,5O0.

DUN I
 LIKE FARM LABOR

PARIS, July 10.-Service at the front seems to indispose men for work in the fields. The military au. thorities gave great many leaves to reservists to permit them to do the work of seeding; they were obliged later to ask the local authorities to send back to the front all men who neglected the work for which they were sent home.
 An employment bureau organized to recruit farm help to replace the men at the front succeeded in placing only 3,6OO refugees from Belgium and Northern France. Spaniards, Kagyles from Algeria and Moors were tried un- successfully, yet, thanks to the women, the total wheat acreage is 11.446,256 acres against last years 12,9S6.660, of which 696,2O4 acres were in invaded territory.
 Reports from the eleven regions into which France is divided for pur- poses of statistics give the wheat crop prospect as averaging 72 which is considered quite satisfactory.
 This average is about the same as that of last year. Eight departments show up better than last year and eight not so well.
 The departments that were invaded and are still partiauy occupied show the astonishingly high percentage of 76.
 The cash wheat market in France is paralysed by the governments re. quirement that no wheat may be shipped from one department into another unless there is shipped back in return an equivalent quantity of flour.
 Barley, oats and nearly all other crops promise as well as wheat.

 ENGLAND

LONDON, July 1O.--An analysis of government statistics made by the Fabian Society shows that in the United Kingdom there are 1900 900 persons whose incomes exceed s3.50O year, 4,5OO,OOO with incomes be. tween $500 and S3,5OO and s9.22OOOO who receive less than $500 annually. It is calculated that the average wage of the adult laboring man equals $6.50 a week and of the adult woman worker but $275 weekly. Since 1895. the purchasing power of pound has declined to little more than half: that is five dollars now goes no further than s2.95 did in Great Britain in 1895.
 Out of a national annual income of eleven billion dollars, something over a billion and a half are absorbed in rent, two billion and half go for in. terest and $2,75O,OOOOOO for profits and salaries.
 Peace has it's tolls no less than war, for in 1913 there were 4,863 persons killed and 222,O61 injured in industrial accidents with 625 cases of poison and anthrax in factories, resulting in 34 deaths.

Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful-No More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after . few weeks use, when you see new hair fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp

Petrograd.-The Russian army of the Caucasus driving the Turkish forces before it has reached the river khopachas, the estuary of the Tcho- ruk in Armenia. This advance by the Russians cuts the route of Turk ish endorsements and supplies from Constantinople to the Caucasian from tier. through Khopa, Turkish Armenia and isolates large section of Turkish territory.
 The Russian forces advanced from Batum on the Black Sea near the Turkish border and were opposed by the Turks at every step. They were assisted by Russian warships, which cleared the shore of Turkish forces and cut off successfully several ave nues of Turkish communications by sea until only the khopa route re- mained
 After a battle of three days this last route was closed effectively.
 Official returns show that up to Feb ruary 13, 49,000 Turkish prisoners, in cluding 527 officers, had passed through Pyatigorsk since the war with Turkey began, on their way to the in terior of Russia.

WASHINGTON WILL MAKE "vlG- OROUS PROTEST" AT WHAT IS
 MENACE TO TRADE.

Washington.-The United States will send note to Great Britain and France in answer to the one received inquiring what means will be taken in carrying out the policy of holding up supplies being carried to and from Germany. President Wilson told call CTS that the British-French note out lined in very general terms policy, but did not define the means of carry ing it into effect
 President Wilson refused to discuss the subject in detail, but said no na- tion had the right to change the rules of warfare because the methods of war had changed. He indicated the United States would not change it's announced position, but to make eff forts to have the belligerents respect shipping of non-contraband charac- ter.
 The president said it was not clear in his own mind whether the new ac tion of the British and French gov ernments established blockade of Germany, although that would be the general effect of the order. He indi- cated that even though a real block ade were established, no questions af- fecting the neutrality of the United States would be precipitated by the continued voyage of American ships to Germany.
 Senator Simmons of North Carolina, White House caller said the British French action would affect Southern cotton growers, but would have more serious effect on cotton mills That. mills use German dyes and the supply on hand in this country is small

CAN NOT BE MADE TO ORDER
Man Who Knows Points Out That Scientific Discoveries Are Not
 Manufactured.

There is a widespread but errone- ous belief in official circles, and among wealthy philanthropists," writes Sir Ray Lankester in the, London Daily Telegraph, ito the effect that you can hire a scientific discoverer and then say to him, Discover me this or Dis cover me that (naming to him a pos sible and greatly desired piece of new knowledge), and that he will there upon proceed right away to make the discovery which you want. But valuable and important scientific dis covery cannot be produced directly in response to orders given and money expended.
 You cannot manufacture scientific discovery like soap. The great diff culty, in the first place, is to catch that rare and evasive creature-a scientific discoverer-and when you have found him you have to humor him and let him do as he fancies. Then he will discover things, but probably not the things which either you or he wanted or expected"

London.-The British battleShips Queen Elizabeth and Prince George and the battle cruiser Infexible, with their eight 15-inch and their dozen 12- inch guns, attacked the principal forts on the European side of the narrows in the Dardanelles.
 Q Two of the forts were damaged blown up. Guarding the narrowest part of the straits from the European side, they are believed to be the strongest forts along the entire water way, although those opposite almost equal them.
 One fort, indicated on the admiralty maps as "L," has two 14-inch guns that could scarcely reach tho Queen Eliza beth, which fired 29 rounds from her 15-inch weapons by indirect fire and had the advantage of aeroplanes to aid her gunners. The other two forts have three 11-inch guns and some smaller cannon.
 Cruisers continue attacks on the for titications along the coast of Asia MI nor, from Besika, near the entrance to the Dardanelles, to Smyrna, doubtless to prevent re-enforcements being sent to the straits, where there are many Turkish troops, with whom the ma rines landed to complete destruction of the forts at the entrance to the straits have been in contact It was in the land fighting that the allies suffered casualties, according to the British re- port, of 19 killed, 25 wounded and three missing. The Turks, however, place the British casualties at a higher figure.

hington.-American shipmasters sailing for Bremen, Germany, are ad- vised to take the northerly course, in information to the State Department from Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, although he says that the German ad-
 liralty declines to take responsibility regarding courses steered outside of German waters. The ambassador transmitted a report from the Ameri- can consul at Bremen, who said that the course had been recommended by the Bremen Board of Trade. The northern course is described as fol lows:
 For ships up to 4,000 net tons, track of steamers of low power bound inward from the Ambrose 4, channel lightship, true east until 3OT degrees west and then to a point well off the coast of Ireland to the north of the Shetland Islands in view of the Nor wegian coast bound for the Lister Deep pilot station.
 Ships outward bound from the Wester river in charge of pilot to Lister Deep, should take course we'll of the coast and then to a point 30 to 40 miles off the Norwegian coast and free of the Shetland Islands. From there, the course should be well off the coasts of England and Ireland to the western islands, and from there a true west coarse taken to point where Nantucket Lightship bears northwest true"
 The consul at Bremen adds that the captain of the steamer Navajo, now at Bremen, followed this course from New York, passing the Fair Islands and south of the Shetland Islands, and recommends the course highly.
