Everywhere the endless line is occu- pied by sailors, who endeavor to find relief for the monotony of their life in gardening and in the care of their pigs, goats, rabbits and birds.
 Here and there one comes across an enormous unexploded shell, hurl- ed ashore by one of the big British warships, and which now forms the ornamental center of a flower gar den. I saw a big fellow among them, some of 3s centimeter calibre.
 What one sees in the way of de- struction is the work of the fast tor pedo-destroyers, which have on occa- sion hailed smaller shells on the coastal towns with their quick firing guns. The corners of houses are gnowed away; here and there a ga- ble exhibits great holes. But the damage is not very bad, at least not in Ostend and Zeebrugge, much less than one would have supposed. Even on the seaside the towns appear to be little damaged. The big bath hotel at Ostend is untouched, and the great glass Kurhaus shows no breakage in its innumerable panes. A few big buildings by Zeezrugge have been leveled to the ground, but that was the work of the Germans, owing to the fact that these buildings helped to direct the enemy's fire on the occa-

sions when he sought to destroy the most susceptible feature.
 'The real work of destruction be- gins where the French land guns have been able to have their say. Mid dIekerke is a mass of ruins. It is a remarkable fact that 500 people continue to crouch there. The school is even still attended by 80 children. But every house has it's underground refuge, such as the soldiers construct in the front lines. Shells still fall in the place almost daily.
 "Middekerke is now in such state that the Germans no longer take up quarters there, but prefer to live In dwelling holes burrowed in the dunes. Some streets always lie open to the French observers and gunners. Long walks can be taken in the southern part of the place, by winding cover ways that have been broken and dug out, half in, half under the earth, through garden walls, houses and eel lars. A deep trench is the only safe communication with the Westende watering place, where no house re- mains standing. In the village or Westende, which is if possible even more thoroughly knocked to pieces than the watering place, l noticed that the enemy's shells had spared the part of a wall of an inn on which was inscribed it's name, "1n den Vrede" (The Peace Tavern.)"

Hankow, Aug. 9.-Reform news papers are displaying some uneasi- ness about the possible movements of Yuan Ko-ting. the eldest son of the late Yuan Shi-kai. Yuan Ko-ting returned to Changtehfu. his fathers ancestral home, together with all the wives and children of the late presi- dent. While he has remained con- stantly at Changtehfu. engaged Uin mourning for his father. it is report ed that he is in secret communication with many of the old military off, cers who enjoyed the confidence of
 Yuan Shi-kai. and is preparing to as- sert his rights as heir to the lost em- pire.
 Many of the monarchists contend that Yuan Shi-kai and his family &C., tually re-established the empire, and believed they created a ne wdynasty. although Yuan Shi-kai never was ac- tually enthroned in a public way. Yuan Ko-ting is reported to be a deep student of Napoleonic literature. an dhis ambitions to figure promi- nently in Chinese history became known through his persistency in urg- ing Yuan Shi-kai to re-establish a monarchy in China

ever conquered. I doubt if, with rea- sonable precaution ever her coasts could be injured or landed upon. The experience of this war has shown how easy it is to protect a coast by sub marines even when the invader is a near neighbor. It is a rule that will work both ways. The United States would have vast difficulties in landing forces on foreign territory, say that of Europe. Neither England nor Ger many have been able to get at each other, though relatively close"
 As to the prospects of peace in Eur ope Mr. Marconi said: There are many people here who believe the war, that is actual hostilities, will be over by winter. Of course, this will not mean disbanding the armies. Unless the Germans have managed to fool the world on their population statis- tics they must give in for lack of men and food to feed their people. 'To me the saddest fact about this war is that so much energy has been used up which might have gone to a better purpose. I fear, too, as every thinking man in Europe, that this may not be Europe's last great war during this half century. It may have to be fought all over again within an- other thirty years, unless there is some way found of preventing fu- ture wars, of settling disputed inter- ests otherwise.
 "I do not think Italy will have any serious trouble when the war is over. While she has suffered severely be- cause of freight rates, she surprised all of her European neighbors with her economic resistance and with the products of her factories. She fur nished Russia with hundreds of thou sand rifles and millions of cartridges recently, and she is sending other war material to France. She is also manu- featuring most of her own big guns, her heavy cannon, her machine guns.
 Despite the fact that we occupy the soil of ancient Rome, we are a new country politically and commer- cially and recent events have proved our mettle. doubt if any country is better organized from an engineer ing and transportation point of view than ours. When the war is over Italy will go to work to build lar ger merchant marine and she will de- velop her water power for more and cheaper electricity"
 Concluding, the inventor pointed out .that this is the first great war in which women have been so gen. orally spared.
 'In early times we had sometimes entire countries where men, women and children were destroyed by fam ines and epidemics in war times. In our own days the progress of science, of hygiene has increased populatfon and made impossible these old meth ods of destruction: War still remains. as the present conflict proves, and as a more terrible means of destruc- ton than in the past, with the strfk- ing difference. however, that it des- troys men and not women"

 which affects the commercial side of railroading. Why are some freight trains handled with such speed that men who handle them are not on their runs over eight hours, while other freight trains hauled with the same class of motive power and over the same. right-of-way. are IA to 20 hours clearing one division? Why is a car load of fruit from 60 to 72 hours com- ing from New Orleans to Sioux City while a carload of other freight is three to four weeks?
 Trainmen say the railroads so over- load "dead'' freight trains that they cannot make their time. This is done i'll order to increase the railroads profit. This is why the trainmen who handle these trains must Hay out" or sidings and at way stations. and le on their run IA to 16 hours
 Trainmen also offer the hint to the shipper that if the eight hour law goes into effect, it will solve the freight car famine to a great extent Railroads will then speed up theil freight schedule, in orders to avoid overtime wages, and freight cars will be rushed to their destination and un. loaded instead of ding-donging along on the road for weeks.-Sioux City Iowa, Tribune.

Rome, Aug. 9.-No notable scien- tific discoveries or inventions are growing out of the great war, in the opinion of William Marconi. the wire less inventor. In an interview with a correspondent of the Associated Press he said:
 "As for war inventions. on the
 whole there have been no great ones that occur to me. Most of them have been minor ones, or applications of knowledge previously at our disposal, as in the case of poison gases, if these may be named at all. In my own field there has been some advance in practical wireless by which we are
 now able to direct the artillery fire of a ship by signals from an aero plane, which has been made possible largely through the big improvements in aircraft.
 '"The big lesson in Europe has been one of organization, of the physical handling of big material problems by the armies. I doubt if any one before this war ever realized the meaning and value of railroad transportation on a large scale, as it is practiced in the United States. Europe, too, has learned how to do big industrial jobs overnight, to assemble raw materials and turn out needed factory products. q refuse to play the prophet role, so I would rather not say how many of these war products will be of use to us when peace comes"
 Since the beginning of the war MT. Marconi has had unusual opportun- ities for observing the practical side of the. war, having early put his scientific knowledge at the service of his country. As senator of the king
 dom he has visited. England, Belgium,
 France, and other countries, and in- troduced industrial and shipping re-
 forms In his capacity as military
 officer he has come into close rela- ton with army and navy and given
 the benefit of his science and busi- ness organization knowledge to nun
 ition factories. He has also perfect

 tems and is at present working on a
 signal system, which, it is expected
 will render far more difficult submar-
 inc warfare through the readier lo-
 cation and signalling of the presence
 of such craft. The details, of this he
 was unable to furnish because of it's
 immediate military importance.

 fences of this war is that cannot

The railway managers are flooding the country with publicity regarding the increase in wages that is being demanded by the members of the four railway brotherhoods who are en- gagged in actual handling of trains. It seems the railroad managers cannot make an honest presentation of this issue any more than they can of the rate question of their valuation, or their inside financing.
 The railway employees are not ask ing for an advance of wages. In fact they are asking for the adoption of a plan that will decrease the income for an eight-hour day, instead of be- ing compelled to stay out on the road from 12 to 16 hours.
 Their argument in favor of this change is reasonable. They say that passenger trainmen and fast freight trainmen would not be materially af- fected by such a rule as few of them are now on the road more than eight hours. The men who would be af- fected are the trainmen who handle dead" freight trains. These men are on the road usually the limit permit ted by the federal laws-16 hours and often longer than that before they get back to their homes. Their ex- penses on the road must come out of their own wages.
 The greatest evil, however, is the physical and mental effect upon men working that length of time It needs no argument to prove that after eight or 10 hours continuous strain, ones physical and mental activities get sluggish. It is during these periods, say trainmen, that wrecks most fre- quently occur; and then the railroad arrangements blame it on the em- pIoyees.
 Even the traveller in the Pullman gets tired after a 10-hour ride during the day. But the man in the engine
