WAR AND THE WOOL TRADE

Quotations in the wool market have been rapid during the past week. War has changed the whole complexion of trade. Dealers in Boston, Chicago and St. Louis, who control the bulk of available supply, promptly offered their holdings to the United States government on the basis of April 2 values and the National Wool Ware house & Storage Co.,, Chicago, the selling agent of many western flock owners, notified them that it would decline to sell their wool on the mar ket, advising them to cooperate with the movement to place every pound of wool in the country at the disposal of the Washington authorities.
 The result of this action will be a suspension of speculation, which thratened a rapid enhancement of prices.

 Meantime a parallel movement fs going on against the domination of Prussian policy in Germany itself. The main factor in rendering the so- cial democrats so pitiably helpless in resisting the war aims of the Prus- sian has been also the bogey Of Czarist Russia. It was the argument of "the Russian perir' which made it impossible for the more stalwart min- critics in Germany to make any headway among the general public, and helped to prevent the increasing suffering of the great mass from finding expression in political protest. There is thus taking place an alli- ance, or community of aim, between the Austrian empire and parties with in Germany itself in resistance to Prussian overlordship

 If the president is right in the as- sumption that we are not opposing any vital interest of the peoples of Central Europe-and we believe it passionately, believe. that is, that they had no cause to fight us since we did not threaten their rights or interests in any way-then what has created a misconception which in duces Germany's allies to accept so humiliating position, and the Ger man people themselves to suffer such long agonies for a victory which will not be for their welfare but merely for the ambition of class that for the most part they detest?
 Both the Austrian state on the one hand, and the ocial-democracy of Germany on the other, have been led into that humiliating position mainly by the bogey of the Russian peril" the panSlav menace" For Austria vassalage to Berlin seemed the only alternative to Slav dominance and to dismemberment at the hands of Rus sia The fear of the Slav overcame the fear of Prussian. But since the Russian revolution the fear of the Slav has largely disappeared. The Russian world is for a generation at least going to be too busy with it's own upheaval and disorder to be a menace to anybody abroad (unless the danger to Russia itself should lead tu military dictatorship in that coun- try, dictatorship that might be pro- Germany
 It naturally takes time for the full meaning of fact of this kind to sink into the consciouness of a whole peo- | ple-especially a submissive and well drilled people like the German-and cause revision of settled opinions. But already it is having it's effect The Prussian can no longer create panic in the Austrian mind with the bogey of pan- -Slavism. Hence the ob- vious change in the relations between Vienna and Berlin. The new emperor is displaying an attitude which has already excited the wrath of the Ger

submarine infested zone. The attacks were beaten off with the certain loss of one vessel; and the destruction may well have been much more disastrous.
 It was in an unfortunate hour that Hindenburg was put up, few days ago, to attempt to revive with talk the spirit of his countrymen. He did not hesitate to impress upon them that all depended, for Germany. upon the sub marine war. Our boats," he said, are doing good work. They are acting more successfully than We thought" ]" But they cannot prevent armies being flung across the Atlantic quite un- harmed and their piratical depreda- tions among our own shipping again show decline.
 We rejoice to know that in this most vital department of the war the hand of the United States has thus soon been laid heavily upon the enemy. Ameri- cas- spurs are already won in this war; and we can re-echo with the more fervor the noble phrase of the French premier, who declared recently that the Fourth of July had become the day of celebration of the liberty of the world.

AUSTRALIAN AIR MAN WINS HONOR
 FLYING IN EGYPT
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wfrel

SYDNEY. Australia, Aug. 4.-One of the most striking war incidents in volving Australians is the deed by which Lieutenant F. H. McNamara of the Australian flying corps won the Victoria Cross in Egypt few months ago. McNamara is 23 years old and a son of the head of the Victorian War) wheat commission Before the war he was a public school teacher in Victoria, His home is in Caulfield. An army surgeon named Macdonald wrote in a recent graphic letter to his father regarding McNamara's ex- ploit and it's aftermath:
 ''On Monday last Lieutenant Mo Namara of the Australian flying corps flew out from the aerodrome and later on passed beyond Beer shula. Here he came upon the Turk ish cavalry. They immediately opened fire. His wings were several times perforated by bullets but he just flew around and dropped shells. They were shells timed to explode. Usually bombs are carried and they explode only on contact fMcNamara dropped four and released fifth from his bomb vest It exploded premateurely under the aeroplane. A piece of shrapnel tore it's way through his ear and penetrated the body of the ma chne. It ended by entering his thigh making a huge ugly wound.
 He immediately dropped two smoke bombs as a signal of distress But at that minute he saw another. airman drop two smoke bombs and hover down through engine trouble
 "As McNamara said to me, I could not let the poor devil stay flown there and not try to rescue him Well, he descended but as his aero plane was built for only one the other man had to climb into the space be- tween the planes McNamara tried to ascend But the leg was terribly painful with the result that the ma chine swerved and toppled over as it was moving along the ground prelim- mary to rising. They were prisoners for certainty unless they managed to make the other machine go.
 They ran over to the other ma chine and tested the engine Won derful to relate 1t went So in they climbed and scared into the air pur- sued by shrapnel from the Turks On the way back McNamara nearly fainted several times through loss of blood and pain but by putting his head outside into the rushing air he recovered. It would have been smash and death for both if he had tainted. They arrived back safely. That night McNamara was cheered to the echo. His deed is known all over this part of Egypt. It will be the " C. or if not the V. c. then something pretty good"

Japanese war by the use of kwairo (pocket stove). Today Russia, profit ing by the experience of her former enemy, is importing these stoves from her ally in great numbers for her troops Delicate school children in Nippon keep a stove in their clothing during the winter months while in the class rooms.
 The fuel is put up in form Of sausage It is lighted and forced into a small tin container which has the outward appearance of a metal cigar case. Fuel sufficient for one loading of the stove costs about one sixth of a cent and will last approximately three hours, giving considerable warmth to that part of the body near which it is applied There is consid- erable rivalry in the empire to see who can invent the best fuel for the stoves. It must emit neither smoke nor odor An efficient fuel is made of hemp stalks, bundle of them be- ing placed in a hole in the ground, then lighted and smothered so as to shoulder without air until turned into the desired size and shape. Finally the fuel is inclosed in special kind of paper, without which the fuel would not burn successfully.
