ONLY MOBILES AND PEASANTS
Russia a Country Where There Is No
Middle Glass, as in the Rest
Of Europe.

Contrary to the laws existing in Eng
land and Sweden, in Russia when n
lady belonging to titled family mar
ries n Russian gentleman without a
title she takes her husbands name en-
tirely, and the only right left to her of
her former title is to write on her
visiting cards and official papers, Mrs.
So-and-So. born Princess, Countess or
Baroness So-and-So." Her children are
called by their fathers name. There
are only few exceptions to this rule,
according to London Tit-Bits.
In Russia no middle class or gentry
are known. There are only mobiles and
peasants. The cZar, however, grants
sometimes for special merit the right
to be styled nobleman, and also for
the same reason the titles of count and
baron, and occasionally that of prince.
All those merchants who have kept
firms flourishing for n hundred years
have the right to receive the title of
baron. This law was made by Peter
the Great over 200 years ago. but the
merchants very seldom accept this Ger
man title and generally decline the
privilege.
In former days when the peasants
were still slaves they hnd no family
names, but We're called by their faith
ers Christian name. Peters son was
called son of Peter-in Russian Petrov.
SO also Smlrnov-Simon's son; lvanov
-Ivan's (John) son; and SO on. When
slavery was abolished and the eman-
cipation proclaimed by the Emperor
Alexander II, they all kept these
names. Since then many of them
have received the right to belong to
the class of mobiles.
The Russian clergy, belonging to the
class of peasants, for it very seldom
happens that mobiles become priests,
have special family names. Their
names mean always a feast day, or a
precious stone, or something connected
with the church. In former days the
clergy was a class apart, and son of
n clergyman was bound to be n clergy
man, and when they first entered the
church they chose name for them
selves.

COOKING FEEDS FOR
SWINE NOT FAVORED
Experiment Stations Have Found
Actual Loss in Practice, Says
Kansas Expert.

Cooking feed for swine generally is
not an advisable practice. points out
Ray Gatcwood. instructor in animal
husbandry in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
'Much experimenting has been done
along this line" said Mr.. Gatewood,
land practically all experiment sta
tions have found an actual loss en-
countered by cooking feeds.
"With most feeds. cooking tends to
lower the digestibility, resulting in a
larger amount of feed being required
gain. This raises the expense OF pre-
duction and cuts down the producers
profits.
"Some feeds used in certain locali-
ties-such as potatoes, field peas. and
roots-have their palatability improved
md their water content lowered
by cooking, which results in n
larger consumption. These, how
ever, are not common feeds in Kan
sas. Cooking requires special ap-
paratus and OF course takes time and
labor, all adding to the expense of pro-
duction.
at may be profitable to heat drink
ing water and water in which feeds
are mixed in cold weather, as
this will decrease the amount of feed
required to maintain the body temper
ature."

FRANCE DETERMINED TO
REGAIN LORRAINE

PARIS. October 5.-Louis Barthou,
member of the inner war council of
the present cabinet and former premier.
at the luncheon of the American Club
yesterday declared that the French gov
ernment and the French people were
absolutely and unshakably resolved to
reunite Alsace-Lorraine to France.
I'VE wish to regain that which be-
longs to u.s." he said. Restitution to
its legitimate proprietor of property
taken by force and retained by fraud
is what we ask. A protest which has
continued forty-seven years is more
eloquent and more decisive than any
plebiscite. 1t must be restitution pure
and simple. Not heart in France hesi-
tates upon that: no voice is discordant."
NJ. Barthou spoke of the admiration
Of France for President Wilson. He
also complimented Ambassador Sharp
upon his conduct of the embassy dur
ing the war and paid a tribute to the
personality of Gen. Pershing.

had knowledge had been explained fully
to the American officers. They included
some things of which the American ex-
perts had no knowledge at the outbreak
OF the war. Correspondingly, the Ameri-
can experts gave freely to the British
all the plans they had evolved for anti
submarine warfare.
Both navies have worked out depth
bombs as q weapon against submarines
The British had a supply available and
these have been used by American de-
stroyers- IT is understood that the Ameri-
can bomb is an improvement in some re-
spects over the British, and is now being
used by both navies.
The reports Of friction between the two
services, Secretary Daniels believes, arose
from an incident early in the war when
a British manufacturer OF patented de-
vice wanted by the American navy, asked
what was regarded as an exorbitant
price. The matter was referred to the
admin atty. he said. and the device is now
being furnished at a reasonable rate.

Public Hearings Probable.

The Pomerene subcommittee, 1t was
expected, would hold a preliminary
meeting late today and begin its lin
tied inquiry next week. The general
expectation was that public hearings
would be held at which Senator La
Toilette would be given an opportunity
to be heard and produce transcripts of
his speech.
Senator Pomerene made it plain that
the subcommittee's authority is limited
solely to the facts surrounding the
Non-Partisan League speech and does
not extend to any other actions or other
charges against the Wisconsin senator.
The committees decision also was re-
garded as postponing until December
at least any more definite action in the
case.
A long letter from Senator Stone bit
terly resenting the imputations and re-
fections made in the petitions and
other communications on file. was pre-
sented to the committee and formed
the basis for its action of eXoneration
as to him. Senator Stone also offered
to appear before the committee, but
formal findings were made stating that
an investigation Of the Missouri senator
was unwarranted and also that:

Senator Stone opposed the declaration
