Believed a Strike Precaution.

Officers and men are at a loss to ex-
plain the reason for the issuance of the
new instructions, but there is general
belief among many at Camp Ordway that
the order is a precautionary one to keep
every one possible in the service so that
the organizations will not be weakened in
any way SO that they cannot be
effectively used for strike duty in case
of need.
Although officers and men now believe
they will be sent to the border. there is
feeling. nevertheless, that they will be
held at Washington for the time being to
see how the strike. if it is called. affects
Washington.
The orders from the Eastern Depart
ment, received last night. are believed
to be due almost entirely to the threat
ened strike situation,

Only Three Ordered Discharged.

Although a number of applications
on the part of the troops now in camp
have been received, orders directing
the discharge of only three so far had
been issued. They are Private Leo
Gilbert Flynn, Company NJ. Sd Infan-
try; Private Otto l. Rupert. Troop A,
cavalry, and Private Lancie L. Watts,
Troop A. cavalry, the latter detailed at
brigade headquarters as chief clerk.
These men were making plans to leave
tomorrow. but the order had the effect
of delaying their departure.
The same telegram also directed that
no more applications for the discharge
of men on account of dependent rela-
tives be forwarded to the Eastern De-
partment for action, as they would not
be granted. in view of the fact that
the army appropriation act makes pro-
vision for caring for the dependents
The instructions contained in the tele-
gram came like a bombshell out of clear
sky, and will have the effect of keeping
in the service number of men who had
been planning to get out very shortly II
the troops at camp did not move.

WANTS CARLOAD RATE
Topeka VIII Send Representative to
Excelsior Springs Meeting.

In an attempt to get carload rates
east of the Mississippi river for west
ern shippers, E. H. Hogueland, COM
merce counsel for the Topeka Traffic
Bureau, will go to Excelsior Springs
this week to attend a conference of
western shippers. Two hearings in re
gard to this proposition have been
held before the Interstate Commerce
commission and others will be held
before a decision is handed down by
the commission. The Seymour Pack
ing company and the Topeka Packing
company are local concerns interested
in the fight.
At present there is a quantity rate
and a carload rate prevailing on the
west side of the Mississippi, according
to a statement made today noon by
Mr.. Hogueland at the Topeka Com
mercial club. East of the Mississippi
only the quantity rate, which is much
higher, is in existence. The quantity
rate fixes a charge on a certain num-
ber of pounds.
Interests east of the Mississippi
wishing to discourage shipments to
New York and other eastern distribut-
ing points from the great west are
fighting the attempt of western ship
pers to get a lower rate. The fight is
a warm one and means a great deal
to western shippers

London, Aug. 1.-The great war will
not be a drawn game" The allies
will surely win the reward of their
sacrifices-and those sacrifices will
have been vain unless there shall re-
suit new world conditions of comfy
and better understanding.
So declared Lord Newton, under

In response to a query addressed to
the foreign office for comment on the
second anniversary of the outbreak of
the European conflict.
Entering the third year of the
war" Lord Newton asserted, lone is
struck by the fact that contemporary
events in France indicate the allies
effort which until now has been
largely that of preparation, will not
result in the depressing state of
equilibrium which some have prophe-
sled for it, using the metaphor, "a

What is to be the reward of all this

planned such deeds of violence will
assuredly meet just recompense; but
beyound what is to be meted out, there
stands the possibility OF the future and
our sacrifice and effort will have been
in vain, unless there shall arise from

mutual understanding fails, the points
at issue be decided more under the

COTTON CROP SMALLER
Expected Total Production Is 12.916,-
900 BaleS-Condition 1913 Per Cent.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Condition of
the growing cotton crop on July 25
indicates a total production of 49,
$4,000 equivalent 500 pound bales the
department of agriculture today an
nounced in its August cotton report.
That compares with $14,266,000 bales
forecast last month by the bureau of
crops estimates basing its calculations
o nthe condition of the crop on June
25, and with 11.191,S20 bales, last
years final production, 16,134,93O in
1914, IA, 1 SO, ,4S6 bales in 1918, and 49,
1884 bales in 1912. The final out
put, however, will be larger or small
er than above forecast according as
conditions hereafter are better or
worse than average conditions.
Condition of the crop on July 25
as compiled from reports of agents and
correspondents in the cotton belt was
placed at 1878 per cent of a normal,
compared with S1.1 on June IS, 1874
on July rs last year, 1874 in 1914 and
1876 the ten year average on July %.
During the month storms caused
some damage to the crop. In the
first week weather was favorable in
most places and the crop made satis-
factory growth but owing to earlier
unfavorable conditions some fields
were irregular and in places the plants
were small and backward. Boil weevil
were reported damaging the crop in
Texas, Mississippi. Alabama, Arkansas
and Louisiana.

Mayor Mitchell, Police Commissioner

Whitman, realizing what such a series

know if New York's ten thousand
police could handle the situation
without militia aid.
Mayor Mitchell today called both
sides to a conference at City Hall at
o'clock. Conditions almost unpre-
cedented in the history of street car

Strikers openly boarded the cars that
are still running, quietly paid their
motormen and conductors, calmly urg-
ing them to join the strikers. The few
passengers aboard did not even know

In So Complex a War, Three

BY j. w. t. MASON.

New York, Aug. 1.-The warning
nations of Europe are at their last
stand, as they enter today upon the
third year of the conflict.
Two years of prodigal expenditures,
Of enormous losses and of indecisive
victories and defeats have led up to
the final phase of the great struggle
which discloses neither side able to
yet to dictate terms to the other. The
allies and the central empires have
not even decided among themselves as
to the details of their own terms. This
must be the principal work of their
statesmen during the third year of the
war.
The two years of conflict have dem
onstrated that in a war as complex as
is the European struggle, other forces
beside those controlled by the mill
tarists play an increasingly important
part in the final outcome. The pres
ent war map, showing the German
lines extending far into enemy coun-
tries, and showing also the loss of
Germany's colonial empire, is but one
element that must enter into any dis
cUssion of peace. Lines on either side
may hold. but once the enemy estab-

troops at San Ignacio clashed with the
ViIlista band along the border Sunday.
No warning of the bandits presence
was given to Gen. George Bell, jr., in
Ell Paso despite the reciprocal agree
ment existing between the two gov
ernments.

fight showed that two Americans were
killed and another wounded. The

Thompson, in his report to General
Bell, "a Mexican appeared. 1 de-

"a moment later Twomey saw a
Mexican run out of side door. He
fired and the Mexican returned his
fire The bullet struck me in the
shoulder. Another shot dropped the
Mexican. The old man then opened
fire from inside the house. His first
bullet struck Twomey in the back,
killing him. He shot again killing
Wood. We retreated about 100 feet
and from shelter of mesquite bushes
began firing into the house"

of impossible taxation after the war,
to pay the interest on the money now
| being so readily borrowed under the
| influence of patriotic fervor. Bel
ligerent statesmen are entering upon
the third year of the war with serious
financial misgivings that will probably
stimulate interest in peace as new
borrowings of billions become neces-
sary. 1t is practically certain that in
some of the warning nations, thinly
disguised socialistic seizures of prop
erty will have to be made, to pay the
war bills, even if the war doesn't last
a day longer. If peace continues to be
evasive far into the third year of the
war, there will be few countries that
in the end will be able to avoid wide
spread confiscation.
Economically the two years of war
fare have not been disastrous for any
of the principal belligerents. Work
ingmen's wages, in general, have risen
higher than the increased cost of liv-
ing. The dispatch of SO many millions
of men to the front and the use of so
many millions more in munitions fac
tories, have caused a scarcity of ordi-
nary labor throughout Europe.
Central Empires Supply Gone.
The central empires, however, will
feel serious economic strain when
the war is over, because their supply
of raw materials is rapidly becoming
exhausted. The allies have been able
to import raw materials continuously
during the war, while Germany and
AuStro-Hungary have had to live on
their reserves. How to purchase raw
materials from abroad in sufficient
quantities to provide for the millions
of Teuton soldiers returning to work
shops and factories after peace is de-
clared, will present a serious problem
for Berlin and Vienna to solve.
For two years, the supply of food in
the Teutonic countries has been con-
stantly dropping. The enforcement of
a low dietary scale upon the Germans
has undoubtedly had some depressing
effects, but there is as yet no evidence
that actual starvation for the mass of
the peaple is imminent. If the Russian
armies, however, can reach the grain
fields and cattle pasturages of Hun
gary and Galicia before the August
harvesting is over. the Teutons may yet
be starved into surrender. But as the
third year of the war begins, it seems
as If the Russian offensive started too
late to accomplished this objective.
