-Four More Jurors Needed.
Interest centers today in the selec-
tion Of four more jurors. The eight
selected range in age from fifty to
sixty-one years. averaging almost
hfty-six years each. Each one is q

not be swayed by sympathy.

Under a protecting concentration OF

A dispatch to the London Times

pointed by the governor to investigate
the railroad rate question.
During the last session of the legis-
lature bill passed the senate increas-
ing passenger rates from two cents
to two and one-half cents per mile.
This was killed in the house and a
compromise measure was adopted au-
thorizing the governor to name
special committee thoroughly to in
vestigate the situation and report at
the next session.
Kearney has been a member of the
state tax commission for three years,

of much Of the unrest. Both nations
may be forced into the ranks of the
allies by shortage sof food, for the
countries that are warning against
Germany intend to look after their
own food needs first, regardless of the
walls of the countries that have pre-.
ferred to remain neutral Norway
also is now exasperated almost to the
point of warfare by the deliberate de.
struction of her merchant marine by
the Germans. About one-third of her
tonnage already has been sunk by sub
marines, and few days ago came the
exposure of a German plot TO destroy
Norwegian steamships by explosives in
the form Of Jumps of coal taken into
the country by courier of the Ger.
man foreign Office. Should Norway
join the allies, her coast would be
mighty convenient for naval bases for
the British and American warshps.
Brazil arrived ct the definite parting
OF the ways with Germany and for.
mally revoked its decree of neutrality
in the war between the entente allies
and the central powers, as it had previ.
ously so far as the United States is
concerned. Whether 1t will enter into
actual hostilities was not announced.
If i does, its navy will be of consid.
cradle help.
Europe provided several instances
to prove that ii is well sometimes to
strain the quality of mercy. In Cork
and other Irish cities the Sim Fein
rebels, who had been Internationally
pardoned and released, again raised
their flag of rebellion and staged riot
Gus demonstrations that were quelled
with difficulty by the police and mill
tary forces. In numerous districts of
Russia the convicts who were set free
at the time of the revolution, commit
ted murders and other outrages and
seized property, defying such authori-
ties as now exist there. Anarchists
who have returned to Russia from ex-
lie in other lands are especially vi.
cious and lawless.
British Attack on Lens.
Despite desperate defensive fighting
by the Germans, the British last week
steadily closed in on the city of Lens,
the very important coal-mining center
north of Arras. Crown Prince Rup-
recht's men before the end of the week
had been driven back into the suburbs
where they made fortresses of the
railway embankment and Stag heaps.
Lens itself already is mass of ruins,
but its possession means much because
of the coal mines.
Most of the French fighting of the
week was done in the neighborhood Of
Hurtebise on the Chemin des Danes.
