ABOUT 6 PER CENT
KILLED IN THE WAR

If you, a drafted man, believe that
statistics tell the. truth, you will feel
as safe in France as you usually do
in the streets ef-New York. So says
Roger w. Babsdn, the eminent statis-
tician, quoted by the Popular Science
Monthly. Furthermore, he says that
the man who is connected with the
heavy field artillery is no more likely
to be killed than one in the employ
of a railroad.
However, he does not hold out such
high hopes for the lieutenants. ser
geants and corporals, the death rate
being very much greater among off
GERS than among privates. Also, the
mortality is higher among volunteer
corps than among drafted men. Sixty
men per thousand are now being kill
ed in the war, and about one hundred
and fifty men out of each thousand are
wounded.

(Slav Press Bureau.)

New York City.-It is only now dis
closed that at the time of the resigna-
ton of the two German members of
the Austro- Hungarian cabinet, Messrs.
Urban and Baernreither, last April,
the official correspondent bureau of
Vienna, the mouthpiece of the Austro-
Hungarian government, issued in
structions to the German press of
Austria, calling attention to the ne
cessity of not embarrassing the gov
eminent by reason of the ostensible
changes in Austria's internal policies.
These, the circular holds, are merely
a maneuver resorted to for the pur-
pose of obtaining peace. Austria con-
fesses her duplicity in language from
which the following deserves to be
quoted:
"The sooner the world is persuaded
that in the future the nations Of the
monarchy will have their existence as
sured, the sooner will peace be con-
Guided and the more favorable will it
be to the monarchy. These policies
are Of especial service to Germany, to
which a powerful Austria is essen
stial. The adjustment of the internal
policies of the dual monarchy does not
signify, under any circumstances, a
change in the existing policies for
which the monarchy can retain the
best relations with Germany and still
preserve the confidence of the entente.
That is the reason why in all diplo-
matte documents it is necessary to
always emphasize its independence. "
Perhaps nothing could show better
than this circular that Austria is one
of the pillars necessary to German
world dominion. Remove this pillar,
destroy Austria Hungary, and Ger
man dreams of world dominion vanish
forever. A powerful Austria, admits
the official Austrian mouthpiece, is es-
sential to Germany. In other words,
German designs upon the world can
be permanently thwarted without in
juring the German people by granting
the demand of Austrian peoples, such

London, Oct. 5..American Minister
Schmedeman at Christiana has in
formed Roald Amundsen, the famous
Norwegian explorer, who reached the
South pole Dec. 16, 1911, that the
American government will permit to
be exported all the provisions and 9TH
er supplies needed for his proposed
North polar expedition.
This result, Christiana dispatch
to the Times reports, is largely due
to Minister Smedeman's good offices,

Norwegian government has appropri-
ated $4,000, will be able to start next
June.

$500 CARLOADS OF
FOOD DELIVERED DAILY

Washington, D. c., Oct. 7.-Approx-
imately $500 carloads of food and
other necessities are being delivered
by the railroads at the environments
where the new national army and the
national guard are being trained for
service abroad, according to reports
just received by the railroads wal

The task which the railroads have
been asked to perform, however, is a
difficult one. It involves the supplying
of all the necessities Of life for six
teen nom productive cities of a popu-
Iation of 10000 each and ifty-six
smaller cities rangingiin population
from 800 to $1,000
Altogether more than million men
gathered at the various environments
must have their daily necessities
brought to them by the railroads. As
it takes at least FIVE pounds Of food
per day for each soldierSin addition
to the clothing, and other supplies
that are constantly needed, the rail-
roads have their. work cut out for

Growing In Intensity
This VIII, No Doubt, Be the Hardest Fought Field,
AS 1t Means the Loss of Two Submarine
Bases If British Make All Points Aimed Att
Germans Will Contest Every Foot Of Flanders
Soil---Italians Make Gains---Russian Line Quiet

Through squalls of rain and under
low-hanging clouds, Field Marshal
Haig is blazing the way with his artil-
lery for another raid into the German
line in Flanders.
Since the great advance of the mid
week, the British infantry has kept to
the trenches and shell craters, except
where forays were called to realign
the new front, or counter attacks were
necessary to hold back weak German
attempts to capture lost terrain. But
the big guns never ceased their activ-
ity, and day in and day out great
masses of steel have been blasting the
German points which are mapped out
for capture when the new drive is
launched.
Particularly heavy is the. lombard
ment in the region running from Lam
gemarck to Zonnebeke, and especially
to the east of the latter town, where
the wedge of the British has been
pushed to within almost striking dis
lance of the Ostend-Lille road.
When the new offensive will be
sprung cannot be predicted. Several
days must elapse before Haig has suf-
ficiently pounded the. Germans to
warrant sending his men across No
Mans land to the detectives assigned
to them for capture, or the process of
demolition already may have advanced

ANCIENT ETHICS.

About 1000 years before the
Christian Era, i. e. 1000 years ago,
Hammurabi wrote code of moral
laws on which is based the Deca-
logue of the Hebrews. After read
ing this code we feel compelled to
ask ourselves whether we of the
Goth century are much more ad-
vanced than those who lived 1000
years ago. Take, for instance, the
following precepts:-
l. Thou shall not spread false re-
ports.
2. Concert not with the wicked
to bear false witness.
8. Follow not the crowd to do ill.
i. Bear not witness in such a way
that justice is perverted.
5. Be just to the poor and act in
such way that justice is done
them. . s
6. Keep myself from everything
that is of evil; condemn neither the
innocent nor him whose cause is
just.
Bear no malice to the wicked.
Accept no brides. for bride
renders one blind, and compromises
the cause of justice.

THE FARMER

The farmer is today receiving
more attention from state and ma
tional sources than ever before. In
fact everybody is giving him advice
telling him what to plant and
how to plant it. That, of course,
shows interest and is not objection
able, but this continued talk about
raising big crops seems to point to
a veritable scarcity of foodstuff in
this country. Such is by no means
the case. There is not the slightest
excuse for any apprehension of a
food panic in the United States.
We have always had an abundance
and unless all conditions utterly
fail at the end of the present season
farmers will have an abundance for
themselves and vast quantities to
spare.
High prices in times like these
are inevitable. The farmer is prac-
tically assured high prices for all
the food he can provide. One kind
of farm produce may be more pro-
fitable to the farmer than another
but it is safe to say that there will
be great demand for everything
raised on the farm. As before in
timated in these columns, the farm
er can well afford to work as he has
never done heretofore for his profits
will be large despite the high cost
of labor and living.
