THE FRENCH ATTACKS" DISPROVED

When Germany declared war on France it was charged
that France began it by dropping bombs on the railroad
and railroad stations at Nuremberg, just across the from
tier. The German chancellor, Won Bethmann- Hollweg,
has repeatedly referred to this "fact' in his speeches in
Justification Of the declaration of war. The German peO-
pie have believed it, and some others have believed that
it might be true. But comes now one DR.. Schwalbe, writ
inc in the German Journal, the Deutsche Medizinishce
Wochenscrift. of May IS, with the statement that the in
designations show there is no truth in such allegations
He SAYS:
From letters exchanged between Privv Coun-
ci1or Riedel and the municipal authority OF Nurem-
BERG, it is proved that this statement, which has, Til
now. never been contradicted, but on the contrary
generally accepted among us as a proof of a breach
of international law by French airmen, is not found
ed upon facts. Moreover, the municipal authority
of Nuremberg wrote on April 3, 1910, as follows:
"The commandment of the Third Bavarlan army
corps, stationed here. is wholly unacqua1nted with
the fact that, either before or after the declaration
of war, bombs had ever been dropped by hostile
airmen upon the Nuremberg Kissingen or Nurem-
berg-Anspach lines. Any statement and lntorma-
ton published in the press with regard to this mat
ter are to all appearances groundless.
The French have always denied that such pre- war
attacks were made. It is probably one of the "rumors
that GOT into circulation during a time of excitement, and
it was seized upon by officials who wanted war. In our
own Spanish-A american war we refused to listen to the
truth as to the sinking of the Maine.

MR.. BRYAN BUTTS IN

"OldD Doc" Bryan is a lover of peace, thoroughly com
mitted to it in principle and practice, in the concrete, and
in the abstract, SO much so that wherever trouble exists
he will be found close by, with his first aid IN his hand,
ready to extend succor or advice. That is why he SO en-
Enthusiastically thrust himself into the dispute between the
railroad men and managers. 1t isn't that he hasnt the
fullest confidence in the skill of DR.. Wilson. Mr.. Bryan
Just couldn't resist calling public attention to the fact that
he has something just as good His peace treaty sootf-
ing syrup is warranted to send to sltmber all angry feel-
ines, and to engender among any set OF bellgerents that
beatific state of brotherly love and devotion that makes
a disagreement impossible. He doesn't ask the rail wage
disputants to withdraw from the ministrations of the
president, but he would like to get one chance to try his
panacea. It doesn't look as if DR.. Wilson had any thought
of giving over the patient to the intruder, however.

NATIONAL TRADE MARK

One of the bills favorably reported by the house ways
and means committee provides for the adoption OF a ma
tional trade mark to designate Amerlcan-made goods.
The use of such a device is attractive at first glance, but
as it is given detailed consideration, its utility as well as
its desirability disappears. 1t could not be used exclusive
to mark superior goods, for the makers OF the cheaper and
less worthy wares would have the same right to use it as
the more commendable manufacturers. 1t would entail
a great deal of extra work on the government to protect
it abroad, and after it has been established it is of doubt
full service. The "Made-in-Germanv mark is said to have
failed Of all that was expected OF it, and to have had some
effect not especially advantageous to German trade. 1t
will be well, perhaps, to allow .American-made goods TO
90 into the worlds commerce as they have in the past,
and not undertake to give them an extra boost by attach
ing a national trade mark.

Those who could tie up the railroads at their will,
which would be the exercise of more than governmental
powers, could at that same time starve a million
human beings in a week. When transportation ceased
there would not be food enough in the cities to keep the
people alive. And as to milk for babies, what would be
come of that? Such a thing as a general and universal
strike is not to be thought of and the government might
as we'll abandon its prerogatives if it permitted it.

STUMP SPEECHES AT $4,000 PER HOUR

The other dav Senator Taggart. in the senate, crltl-
cised his own party for its extravaganza and Tor ITS con
tinual multiplication of taxes. This Is delightful. But
the habit of criticisng themselves seems to be spreading
among the democrats. The other dav Senator Stone of
Missouri criticised congress for remaining III session to
deliver stump speeches for the pending campaign. He
said that much of the talking that is now being done IN
congress is for the effect it may have on the election, and
every one in congress knew it. He said the stump speech
es are buried deep in the Congressional Record and the
people are fortunate to escape them. Even II they are
sent out under forms of the frank, the people would not
read them.
And this stump speaking is being done at a cost OF
$500 an hour, which is what congress costs the country.
1t is part Of the extravaganza for which things to tax Will
have to be found by the administration. Congress might
have transacted its proper business for the session long
ago. according to good authorities, like Senator Stone. but
it is likely to be in session another month or so. every
hour at $500. And this is happening at a time when the
appropriations piled up already amount to 81 ,5Oo,OoO. the
highest in the history of cNtravagant congresses.

The new British loan, offered to New York, carries
HIGHER terms than the previous one negotiated by the al

offered at 90. Adding the cost of placing the paper, the
deal approNimates 6 per cent money, an extraordinary
rate for the erstwhile financial giant of the world.

As you travel the public roads Of
Carroll county take some observa-
tons. Note the general appearance
of each farm and every house you
pass and see if you don't think more
Of your county than you thought
you did. When you see a farm
cleaned up nicely, with bitches
cleared of, fences in good shape,
gates well hung and barns dnd hous-
es painted, call out the owner and
talk with him a little. Ask him if
he plans to 90 west or south in
search Of new home. Then when
you see a dilapidated place call out
the owner and ask him the same
questions. In practically every case
you will find that the man who is
doing well has never thought Of
leaving here, while the man with
the run down premises has never
thought Of anything else. Practi-
cally every one who is dreaming Of
Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas is
not only broke but has little hope
Of ever doing any good. Think this
over and apply it to yourself. Car
