Yesterday | stood on a corner OF
King street watching some kiddies
at play. Nearby were two men dis
cussing third man, who was absent.
One man was eulogistic concern
ing the subject of their talk. When
he had done the other hesitated be-
fore he observed:
"Well, he's all right but" And
then ne extended his butts until l
gathered that but for ninteen or
twenty other faults the mar under
fire was all right.
Somebody-Ben Jonson, wasn't it!
said but me no butts And it is
fact that butts are most often un--
necessary, frequently irritating, and
always to be well-considered before
use.
In a small town one finds that
people talk great deal about each
other because they think they know
so much about each other. But do
:hey? I'd like to emphasize that
think they know. They know the
things the other fellow does, but do
they know the things he resists?-
the silent, untold and unseen strug-
giles of the soul with the flesh enve-
looping it. They do moth And these
silent strugglings are what:are going
to count in the life hereafter.
Here's a verse from poem of
James Whitcomb Rilcy's which has
nc right ring:
"No generous heart may vainly
turn aside.
N ways of sympathy; no soul SO dead
But may awaken strong and glorified,
If something good be said"

DENY THE GERMAN
BRUTALITY CHARGES
British Say Teuton Press Is Trying to
Prejudice Americans Against
Great Britain.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE admiralty
in a published communique again denies
that it ever issued orders that survivors
of German submarines need not be res
cued. The communique states that the
German press sis trying to make capt
tai out of what they describe as a sec
ond Baralong case, possibly in order to
inclte American opinion against Great
Britain or as a pretext for an unre-
strained submarine campaign
The cOmmunique cites the alleged
facts of the case showing that a Brit
ish auxiliary flying neutral flag on
September "a, 1915, approached Ger
man submarine in the western channel
engaged in sinking a British merchant
man. When within range the auxiliary
hoisted white ensign and fred on and
sank the submarine and then rescued
the crew of the merchantmen from
their boats. When this was done she
also rescued two of the submarine s
crew who had climbed into a drifting
boat.
The communique claims that the use
of a neutral flag was justifable as
shown by tho German practise in the
case Of the Moewe and in other in
stances and says that "nobody but &
German could base an allegation OF
brutality on the lapse of few minutes
between the rescue of Britishers an(
Germans.

BRITISH NAVAL LOSSES JUMP.
Berlin Estimates Them at sol, 100 Tons,
Not Including Auxiliary Ships.

BERLIN, Nov. S-The sinking of a
British small cruiser of the Irish coast by
a German submarine has increased the
total British losses in battleships and
cruisers to 50l, 80 tons, SAYS an Overseas
News agency's announcements
This does not include British auxiliary
cruisers, submarines, torpedo boats or
guardships lost
According to the known strength Of
the British navy at the beginning OF the
war it has lost Ii per cent of its battle
ships, 30 per cent o. it's armored cruisers
and "A per cent OF its protected cruisers.
Ihirty-nine ships of total of AZ, 800 tons
have been destroyed by German naval
forces
The extent of the British losses is
notable in view of the fact that at the be
ginning of the war the French navv's ton,
mage was 49, .01 and the Italian navy's
10000, Moreover, the British navy has
lost 30 torpedo boats of Il 800 tons and &c
submarines
The reference in the foregoing to Brit.
ish warship sunk off the Irish coast doubt
less concerns the German admiralty an
nouncement on Nov ) that a small Brit
ish cruiser of old construction had been
sunk by a German submarine off the west
coast OF Ireland
The British admiralty in its comment
on the German report stated it was cyl
dent that the announcement referred t,
the sinking of the British mine-swcepei

nounced on Oct. 26.

POLES IN SORRY PLIGHT.
Thousands Stand in Bread or Soup
Lines Daily.

NEW YORK, Nov. POLES and
by the tens of thousands
are standing in line every day asking
for bread or soup to keep them alive,
a mass meeting of Jews was told here
by DR.. j. l.. Magnes, who has just re-
turned from the war zone in Europe,
where he went as the representative Of
the joint distribution committee of the
Jewish relief committee.
DR.. Magnes was to have made for
NAL report last night upon what he had
observed and what was expected from
the Jews of the United States in the
way of relief, but it was decided to
defer his statement until November %
when a meeting will be held here which
will be attended by representatives of
Jewish relief agencies in all parts of
the country.
A brief statement of conditions as
he found them was made by the com
mittee emissary, however. He was
not permitted to enter Russia, but
found conditions very bad in the terri
tory occupied by Germany, he said. En-
plovment is lacking. Factories are
closed because there are no raw ma
terials. The soup kitchens are supplied
by funds from America.
Conditions in Galicia are somewhat
better than in Poland and Lithuania
said DR.. Magnes, because Austria has
been donating a small amount for the
support of refugees.

Scarcity of Wheat Enhances

AGRICULTURE IN

Country Ranks Sixth Among Wheat
Growing Countries of the World -

age by Vicissitudes of Climate.

With Russia s and Rumania s wheat
crops cut off from the rest of the world
hv the Dardanelles, with Canada S and
Australia s cereal output spoken for by
En9land's armies, and with America 5
product commanding record prices, the
eyes of empires turn toward Argentina,
which ranks sixth among the wheat
growing countries of the world.
Bailey Willis, in a communication to
the National Geographic society tells
of the vast agricultural wealth of this
country. The society has issued a part
of Mr.. Mills s articles as the following
bulletin:
1.-The soil and the climate of the
pampaS. which cover an area of 200 600
square miles, give the Argentine repub-
lie its high rank among the wheat and
corn growing countries of the world.
The soil is an ancient alluvium, the fine
sediment carried by old rivers far out
from the mountains, like the deposit
now being made by the Paraguay and
its tributaries, an island delta in the
interior of the continent. The sedi-
ment is very fine, and mingled with it
a large portion of fine volcanic dust
blown from the volcanoes of the Andes.
Like the renowned loess soils of China
it is exceedingly fertile and being very
porus, absorbs the rain waters, which
rise again by evaporation and supply
the surface soil constantly with plant
food.
THE pampaS are vast grassy plain
Is there anything more to be said? As
an Englishmaa put it. What can you
say about a bally billiard table except
that it is a bally billiard table?' Yet
the plain of the pam2as is not like the
great western plains of the United
States. The latter are broken by gull
lies, furrowcd by streams, traversed by
river valleys. The pampas are not.
Among all the landscapes of the
world there is none more meadOw-llke
than the fiat pampas, with the cattle
grazing II the rich grass; but the mead
ow grass hides no meandering brook
Hous after hour, day after day you
may ride without crossing a stream

low pools and lakelets.

to this account, ostensibly prepared to
lower boat, but when the submarine
had approached to within 800 yards the
supposed merchantmen suddenly opened
concealed ports and began firing. The
submarine was sunk, but two of the
crew reached the water and swan for
