who has been robbed by some crook,
who is selling a worthless remedy for
hog cholera, may have lost faith in
vaccination, but after all, his case
proves nothing The state Of Iowa
has reduced the losses through hog
cholera to- marvellous extent. And
there again is the best kind of con-
seryation. And the fact that the
swine plague is being conquered in
Iowa, is again an incontrovertible
proof of the value of modern scien,
tific methods to the farmer Of Iowa.

THE JAPANESE MISSION.

It is stated by the head of the coming Jap
Ipanese mission that the purpose of that mis-.
sion is to arrive at cordial understanding with
this country, not only in regard to detail OF the
war but upon all moot questions In which
Japan and the United States are interested 1t
is most advisable that this spirit of desire to
find all causes of possible discord and to elm
mate them by mutual understanding prevail
with us. The opportunity to establish cordial
and enduring relations with Japan is now of
fered; and there is no advantage more to be
sought by our nation than such relations with
Japan. These two nations have many inter
tests to be furthered by friendly cooperation
and few points of difference. These differ
ences are largely derived from the fact that the
japanese viewpoint is far removed from ours;
there are motives which to them are strong de-
termining policy, that do not weigh with us.
1t is significant that our men of prominence
who really know Japan are emphatic in saying
that if we but take the trouble to understand
her, viewpoint and give it due regard, we may
easily remove all latent resentment from the
japanese national mind The coming of this
mission may be made an occasion of great i'm
portance in cementing an abiding friendship
with Japan.

How could the haze of doubt hang low
Upon the road of Rochambeau?
How 1t that missed the way

AT last, thank God! At last
There is tribal Liberty
No beacon lighting just shores,
No Freedom guarding but doors,
The flame she kindled for sires
Burns IL Europes battle fires!
The soul that led fathers west
Turns back - free the worlds oppressed.

We share your conflict and your pain.

Partakes Of Freedoms sacraments!
Into that hell his will creates
We drive the foe his lusts, his hates,
Last come ws will be last to stay
Till Right has had her GROWING day,
Replenish, comrades, from veins,
The blood the sword of despot drains,
And make oU- eager sacrifice

You pay to make our brothers free!
See, with what proud hearts advance
To France!

After period of quiesence welcome to the
country Minority Leader Mann has again
manifested his pro-Prussian leanings as out
spokenly as he dares. Opposing sections of the
bill to prohibit trading with the enemy, he de-
cared that the departments of government
have gone spy-crazy and see German spy on
every housetop and streetcorner. The house
heard him in chilly silence, such representa-
tives as may have been in sympathy with him
being too discreet to show it. When he draws
upon himself, as he is likely to, verbal ex-
coriation from some patriotic congressman, it
will be pleasant reading for the country.

It now appears as might have been expected,
that the Chinese general and provincial gov
ernor who sought to overthrow the republic
and restore the Manchu dynasty was in German
pay. He had agreed, in case he succeeded, that
China should be friendly to the central pow
ers. But he is now fugitive with a reward of
one hundred thousand dollars offered for HIM,
dead or alive, and it is not easy to find any
place on the map of the world to which he can
make his wav where he would be safe from ar
rest or secure against his countrymen ambi-
tious to earn that hundred thousand

Knife Battle Causes
Stampede at Coney
Children Trampled in Rush to
Escape from Fight in
Pavilion

Three men VINO. were seeing the
sights at Steeplechase, Coney Island,
got into a dispute in the main pavilion
last night. They whipped out JACK
knives and set TO work zealously 70
settle the question at issue.
The pavilion was crowded. AS the
three eornered fight started the crowd
surged away from the combatants on
all sides. A rush for the exits fol-
lowed. Children were separated from
their parents and trampled, clothing
was torn and women and men roughly
jostled in the stampede. A call was
sent for the reserves.
Charles Pelky, a stationary engineer
in one Of the Steeplechase buildings,
flung himself upon the fighting trio in
the role of a vigorous peace maker.
His appearance reunited the three at
once and they set upon him cordially:
By the time the police arrived one OF
the knife fighters had vanished. but
the other two, intent upon pacitying
the peacemsker, were arrested: They
said they were Patrick J. Reilly who
refused his address, and George Wess-
ner, of PAL Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn.
Pelky was attended by the physician

Justice Carr Dies
Brooklyn Jurist Had Been Ill
for Several Months

GOOD GROUND, L. l., Aug. 5.-Jus-
tice William John Carr, of the Appellate
Division of the State Supreme Court,
died to-day at his summer home here.
He had been i'll for several months and
recently left his home at s31 Carroll
Street. Brooklyn, TO recuperate in the
country. Ever since the death of his
wife, last January Justice Carr had
been under the care of a physician.
Justice Carr was born in Brooklyn
in 1852. He was admitted to the bar
in 1884 and began practising in Brook
Ign. Shortly sfterward he married
Julia Mary Fryer of Brooklyn. He
was clerk of the Supreme Court of
Kings County from 1891 TO 1898, com
missioner OF the United States Circuit
Court, Brooklyn, two years later, and
assistant corporation counsel of New
York City from 1898 to 1902, in charge
of the law department of the city in
the Borough Of Brooklyn. His term as
justice would have expired in 1920.
