WORLD WAR ENTERS
ITS FOURTH YEAR
HISTORY'S GREATEST STRUGGLE
GOES ON CNDIM1N-
ISHED.

The three most awful years in the
worlds history came to close this
week-and another started.
Three years ago Wednesday. Au-
gust /, Germany declared war on
Russia, precipitating conflict which
has killed five million soldiers and
certainly over a million civilians -
perhaps many more; cost directly be-
tween seventy-five anda hundred bill
lion dollars and piled up a sum in
human woe entirely incalculable and
incomprehensible.
Not a corner of the earth has been
too remote to feel the effect Of the
forty million or more men who have
gone forth to war. Not an intelli-
gent being but has been stirred to
his depths by the dreadful, wasteful
fire that has scourged the globe.
From a petty Balkan quarrel, re-
sulting in the seizure of Bosnia and
Herzegovina by Austria and in the
assassination Of the heir to the
throne Of the dual monarchy and his
consort by resentful Jugo-Slavs. the
/confagration has spread to every coz
tinent and every land.
Most of the world is directly in
volved In war, and in the non-bellig-
erent countries questions stirred up
by the conflict are the subject of In
tense and constant domestic differ-
ences.
Vast Human Changes.
What changes ION the map" the
war will make still await the great
peace conference to be told: but
already human society has been
altered with such swiftness as can
scarcely be paralleled even in the
era Of the French Revolution.
Russia has changed from the
greatest example of an absolute and
burdensome autocracy to the worlds
freest and most liberal democracy,
with it's eyes set on ideals as high as
the stars.
The people rule in Russia after
centuries of oppression, and in many
other nations the bonds forged by
birth and privilege are giving way.
In every country the Importance
of government has increased. The
central authority has had to take
over powers it never possessed or
wished before. The peoples are
thinking more about their govern
ments. selfish thoughts. perhaps. for
their leaders mean more to them
than formerly.
The United States itself is under
going changes whose outcome no
man can foresee.
Destruction Widespread.
The worlds possessions have been
destroyed at most alarming rate.
Scores of great cities, hundreds of
towns and thousands of villages lay
in crumbling brick and mortar. Mil
lions of homes have been devastated.
Somewhere between seven and ten
million tons of ocean shipping lies
at the bottom of the ocean. the prey
of the submarine, the mine and the
raiding cruiser. 1t will take many
years of peace for mankind to catch
up in material things.
The war has now gone the three
years allotted by the late Lord Kitch-
ener. His famous prediction was
considered pessimistic at the time It
was made. Few believed the war
could last so long. Many were ready
to prove by pencil and paper that
exhaustion would end the trouble
within IL months of its start. Still
1t RACES, each day more fearful, and
the end is not yet.
When will 1t come? Nobody
knows, nobody can even guess.

ORCHARD PLANTING.
Proper Distances Apart at Which to
SIT Various Fruit Trees.

SIT Various Fruit Trees.
The proper planting distance at
which to set fruit trees needs careful
attention. Prominent growers set
peach trees at least twenty feet apart
Although some set the trees sixteen to
eighteen feet apart, this has proved too
close. Peach trees set at this distance
cannot secure sufficient light, plant
food and moisture TO develop properly
and good cover crop cannot be grown
under these conditions.
Large growing varieties of apples.
such as Baldwin, Stayman and Grav-
enstein. are at the maximum distance
Of forty feet apart. In certain sections
where these varieties grow smaller,
because of soil conditions. thirtysix
feet is sufficient Varieties of medium
size. such as Rome. Mcintosh and
Twenty Ounce. do best when set thir
ty-six feet apart. For the smaller
growing and upright varieties, as
Wealthy, Duchess and Yellow Trans
parent, thirty to thirty-two feet is suit
able. Where filters are placed between
permanent trees the latter are set for
ty feet apart. Plums are set at dis

HANDLING |NCuBATORS
To GET GOOD RESULTS

If spring fries and fall eggs are
desired the incubator should be set the
first or second week in February, CIV

according to T. S. Townsley, instructor
in poultry husbandry In Kansas Agri.
cultural college.
The main purposes of an early hatch
is to allow the pullets ample time to
mature before cold weather. If they
do not do this they will not lay until
the following spring. Cockerels hatch
ed in March will be ready to sell when
the market for fries is good. The early
hatched chicks will be large enough to
be turned out on the ground by the
time grass and other plants have start
ed to grow and will thus get the ad-
vantage of the green feed.
Before starting the incubator it is
advisable to spray the machine thor

WARNING
FLASHED
ON DEC.9

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE
Belgian steamship Samland,
reaching here from Rotterdam,
brought word that she had been
stopped Dec. 4 off the Irish coast
by a German raider, which, after
searching her and finding she was
a Belgian food ship, allowed her
to proceed.
The first warning of a German
commerce raider from the British
government came Dec. 8 when it
was flashed from warships and
from naval wireless stations.
No definite reports, however,
had come here until the United
Press dispatches from South
America and the arrival of the
Samland.
Numerous ships have been re-
ported as missing or long overdue.
The Lamport & Holt freighter
Voiltaire, which was scheduled to
sail Nov. 2S from Liverpool; the
White Star freighter Georgia,
which sailed from philadelphia
Dec. 2; the Belgravian, scheduled
to leave London, Nov. 25; the Bel
lerophon, which sailed from South
ampton, Nov. %, and the Norwe-
gian steamship Hallbjorg, which
left here Nov. 23, all have not been
heard from.
Admiralty orders forbidding
publication of sailing dates have
raised hopes that these ships may
not have been lost. The name of
the vessel which stopped the Sam
land was said to be the Moldavia,
whose whereabouts for a year has
been a mystery.
She is a Peninsula & Oriental
liner, larger than the Appam. She
is listed as 9,500-ton British
liner. The Appam was captured
and taken to the Virginia capes by
the crew of the German raider
Moewe.

No, she hadn't voted; was there
an election?
There was, he explained. He
told her about the bond issue, OF
which she hadn't heard, and final
ly persuaded her to vote a yes,
provided an auto should be sent
for her.

night decided to proceed
with the construction of q

Rev. Frank Dyer, the pastor,
was authorized to appoint the
necessary COMMITTEES to carry out
the project, and their names will
be announced Sunday.
1t is planned, he says, to make
the building rather a community
house than one devoted to the
needs of the congregation alone
The enterprise was launched al
this time in order to keep pace
with the great growth Tacoma ID
going to make on account of the

civic optimism.

is obvious that the Georgia was

The operations of the raider

here that the raider performed an

They believe the raider
swept the ocean from north

Georgia was encountered i'm

reported lost may have
been in the same zone, and
that the raider then swept
