Complete official lists of the first
264 young men of Mahaska county

been received here,

ASK IMPROVEMENTS
EXTENSION OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
AND PAVEMENT.

special session of the city coun-
Gil was called Monday evening for
the purpose of bringing up the min
utes and approving the same. City
Clerk Carlin read the record of pro-
ceedings since April or the opening of
the current administration and same
met with official approval.
w. w. Williams, and Professor
Case of Penn College appeared and
made plea with the council for action
in regard to the installation of public
utilities for the Penn College addi-
ton, grading of streets, electric light
and gas and water mains. These
things have been brought to the atten-
ton of the council several times but
thus far the council has taken no
definite action and the day for action
is growing late in the afternoon and
nothing done yet. The college folk
are becoming anxious and fear the
program of delay practiced by the
council will injure attendance at the
school,.
Next Monday afternoon at three
O'Clock was set by the council as date
and hour of a special visit by the city
council and the fire chief to the
grounds of the new school to make
note of the work to be done and to To-
cate if possible such things as re-
quire location.
Attorney ]. G.. Patterson appeared
representing number of residents
in the block east of Third street and
between First and Second avenues.
The city having refused to yacate the
alley running north and south through
this block, the properties abutting de-
sire the alley improved or paved and
also the east and west alley through
the block to connect with the north
and south alley, These owners have
a petition filed with the city clerk
asking for pavement. The matter
will be given official consideration at
the regular session of next Monday
evening.
The council took a recess to COM
mittee room and therein considered
matters that were not made of record
in the proceedings of the session.

SMASH WAY INTO RUSSIA
Teutons Win Battle With Slavs and
Gross Eastern Galician From
tier Stream.

London, July 31.-Germany has in
yaded Russia from the eastern Cali
clan front, following battle which
forced second section of the Slav
army to seek refuge within its own
territory.
Berlin reported that the Teutonlc
troops had crossed the Zlbrocz to
AIuscovlte soil in force.
The clash occurred east of Zibrocz
and the Russians hastily made the
passage of the stream south of Ska
lat. which Is 16 miles southeast Of
Tarnapol, and occupied the heights
on the eastern bank.
Rushed forward in pursuit. the
Austro-G German victors forced the
river, despite desperate resistance on
the part OF the Russians.
In fact, the entire southern Rus
sian front. with the exception of Rou-
manlan sections, seems to have caved
in. According to Berlin statements,
despite the resistance of the Russians
between the Dniester and Pruth riy-
ers, the Teutonic forces pressed back
the Russians to point southwest of
Zale-Szczyky.
German troops are advancing
through the Slchawa valley in the
Austrian province Of Bukawina to-
wards the town Of Seletyn. The Ger
mans have also pushed forward to the
east OF tie upper MQldaya valley.

As TO VACCINATI ION
QUESTION ARISES OVER THE EN-
FORcEMENT OF ORDERS.

Difference of opinion exists as to
the powers of the health department
relative to the enforcement of rules
and regulations governing vaccina-
ton for smallpox. Numbers of par
ents have refused to have children
vaccinated.
Health Physician B. E. Roberts was
not present at a special session of
the city council as board of health
called late last night. He had re-
tired, but was summoned from his
couch to present his side of the ques-
ton or to interpret the rulings of the
health department as he understood
it. Opinion of the city solicitor was
also expressed.
The matter was left open for the
time being until communication can
be received from the state board rel.
alive to the matter.

How will incorrect wiring affect q
motor2
The effect of incorrect wiring on the
motor depends on how the wires are
misplaced. For instance, If the high
tension cables were changed around so
that no one of them went to the right
plug 1t would be impossible to run the
motor, although an occasional explo-
sion might be obtained. If two or three
of the high tension wires were inter
changed, but one or more were left on
the correct plugs. then the motor would
run on the cylinders in.which the latter
were. Where a dual system is en-
ployed the wires Of the battery system
may sometimes be misplaced without
interfering with the operation OF the
magnetic, and vice versa As rule.
however. the changing of the wires

tenn becoming imperative.

DDS Of testing the effectual working of
the spark plugs in giving equal and
uniform explosions, II there is any va
ration owing TO the strength or power
Of the spark?
The operation of the spark plug can
be readily determined by eye. All that
is necessary TO do Is to place the spark
plug points at the proper distance
apart. which is between one sixty
fourth and one thirty-second inch for
magnetic use, and then after this ap-
proximate adjustment is made remove
the plug from the cylinder and start
fhe engine OH the other three. The
color and intensity Of the spark which
jumps across the gap Of the plug re-
moved from the cylinder give d ready
clew to its performance when firing a
charge. The spark may vary all the
way from a thin. fine line to thick
dot OF flame. Something between the
two or hot blue spark lie most de-
sired.

Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
THE VOICE OF THE PAST.

From the Philadelphia Press
1t has been the general opinion in
this country that the issue of Free
Trade had passed on to its long rest,
Even those persons who had for many
years worshipped at this shrine had
Of late given little utterance to Free
Trade views, and many of them had
openly given up their former Tariii
stand. The Tariff question has be
come that of protection to American
industries with sufficient Tariff duty
to equalize industrial conditions in
this country and abroad, and that OF
customs duties levied merely for reve-
nue.. with no thought OF fostering the
American production by the levy In
the latter case il any Tariff production
results it is by accident, not by design
But of the former busy Free-Trader
there had been little appearance in
recent years. Even the college pro
fessors OF economies had lost their
enthusiasm for their former hobby
1t seems, however, that the Itee
Trade propaganda has not persisted
from the land. 1t has come up again.
1t is voiced in an appeal to the nations
at war to provide for freedom of
trade as well as freedom OF the seas
Some of the voices that join in this
small chorus are familiar ones to the
old American Free Trade League.
They are some twenty-five in number
and they select this time to set up the
old banner which most people suppose
was by this time the prey of moths
and time.
In this appeal there is quoted ap.
provingly the lopg-eXploded theory
that Protective Tariffs are responsible
for war. 1t states that "a chief cause
amng several causes which have led to
the world war has been the economic
battle between selfish and restrictive
Protection so called and international
freedom of exchange Just how this
is figured out by these apostles of an
ancient faith is a mystery. Germany
aud Austria, both protective tariff ma.
tions, declared war upon Russia and
France, both Protective Tariff nations
as well. The only great commercial
country Of the world today that is to.
day on Free Trade basis or was when
the war began is England. There are
few who doubt that England has seen
her last daysof Free Trade, and that
with the close of hostilities she will
have Tariff barrier to protect her in.
terests and her industries. 1t certain.
ly was not from any fear of existing
Tariff laws that Germany made war.
She was selling her goods in practical.
ly every marget place of every coun-
try Of the globe, and was prosepring
nightly because of her own Tarin
laws and the support of her industries
by the German government
About the most amazing part of this
amazing appeal is the suggestion that
