BRAvEST TROOPS.
Of NEW RUSSIA.
COME FROM SOUTH.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 81
The South Russians, or the people of
Little Russia, from among whom the
colossal Muscovite nations draws some
of it's bravest, steadiest fighting men,
are people distinguished for their
contradictory characteristics in a land
that is puzzle for contradictions. The
South Russians, the toughest fibre of
the Russian armies, are a people full
of interest, of quaint PHILOSOPHERS, and
iot pleasant ways, according to a bulle-
tin just issued by the National Geo
graphic society. The sketch reads:
Between Central and South Rus
SLAMS. the contrast is as strong as be-
tween the Prussian and the Bavarian.
AS in Germany, the vigor of this
mighty nation is more sharply ex-
pressed in the north than in the south,
and yet, in the case of both nations,
much of the national strength and en-
ergy are furnished by the south,
Russian life is sprightly in the
south. In the north, it is sullen, mon
otonous, oppressive. In the southland,
too, there is a far greater display of
well-being and comfort. The northern
peasant lives in colorless villages, in
grayish-brown matched houses built
of logs, which are stretched along in
sanitary streets, redolent with the &C
cumulations of carelessness. Around
these houses, there are almost never
any signs that their occupants are
making homes-there are no efforts to-
ward grazing improvements. The
roads are mostly just ground left be-
tween two rows of houses; the yards
are just ground left bare around them
"The South Russian builds his home
and orders his village, in the rule, pic
turesque and inviting. There are gar
Gens before the door, and orchards
round about, and the houses of the vii
lage are painted white or pale green.
Porches, balconies, glass and vine-cov-
cred verandas relieve the architectural
uniformity There is more cleanliness,
gaiety and softer manners in the south
to tempt the friendly judgement of the
stranger"

ENGLISH COTTON
MILLS NOW FACE
CRITICAL CHANGE

MANCHESTER. Eng, July 27.-The
question of putting the Lancashire cot
ton mills on short time is causing a
good deal of anxiety among the opera
tives.
There are at present in England 3d.
100000 spindles, 47000,000 of which are
controlled by the Spinners' Federation
ard 100000 by the Cotton Spinners
AID Manufacturers association. This
leaves about 100000 spindles outside
the federation to take advantage of
any limitations that members of the
federation impose upon themselves. 1t
is this fact which prevented the vol
untary adoption of any short time by
the federation when it was recommend
ed to the members, and when it would
have been less hurtful to the trade
than it is likely to be now under more
drastic restrictions.
The Manchester Guardian says:
THE growth and importance of the
cotton industry may be judged from
the fact that the output of the mills, in
addition to providing for our home re-
cuirements. represents about third of
our total exports of manufactures. The
cotton crops of the world average
about 20,000,000 bales, and in normal
times, ENGLAND, with considerably over
third of the spindles of the world
consumes annually 100000 bales OF
cotton IT. therefore, there is big
reduction in the supply of cotton COM
ing to this country, and the price is
inflated by speculation, it becomes i'm
possible to keep the mills running at
full time.
There is something to be said for
the view that even our poorest custom
ers in India, China and Africa are able
to pay more for cotton goods than
they do in normal times, because the
crops they produce are bringing much
better prices. 1t is also fact that UNI
til recently cotton goods were not dear
in comparison with those made from
other textiles. Still, the fact remains
that the present range is very bad for
trade.
I'm addition to that. the adversely in
the cotton trade imediately Injuries the
bleaching, printing. dyeing and finish
ing industries. There are thousands
of workers in those branches and, like
weavers and spinners, who have to
submit to reduced earnings. Miners

COMPARES A|RMEN
Of ALLIES WITT
GERMAN AWAIT RS

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, July 81.
Interesting comparisons of British.
French and German methods of air
fighting were made recently by Gen.
Won Hoeppner, commander of the Ger
man flying forces, in an interview with
the Berlin correspondent of the Hol-
land News bureau. General Won Hoepp-
ner admitted that the air forces OF
the Entente Allies were superior on
but said that on the eastern front the
German airmen outnumbered their
adversaries. Mere superiority in num-
bers, however, he protested to believe.
meant nothing when compared with
the quality of machines and of men
flying them. He added:
THE Frenchman is obviously not to
be placed on par with our airmen
from the point of view of morale, but
it is just in flying the Briton proves
that he is of German race, and, there
fore, has a love of fighting. In gem
eral the Frenchman only attacks when
he feels himself numerically superior.
He avoids fight under equal conditions.
| The Briton seeks the combat. The
Frenchman only attacks once; if the
first attack be unsuccessful. he i'm
mediately' retires The Englishman on
the other hand, fights till he of his OPP
ponent goes under.
"In their Spar aeroplanes of ZOO
horsepower, and the British Sopwith
triplanes, they possess splendid ma
chimes which mostly equal our best
machines.
More important, however, than the
superiority of the machines is that OF
the crews. The enemy battle airmen
are just as much UP to their job as
ours That is not so, however, with
the accommodating airmen. In the
case of the French, their training,
which should be of a purely military
character, is mediocre; while with the
British it is even inferior. Here are
to be found the deeper causes of the
better performances of our fiiers.
"To Britishers flying is a sport, the
climax whereof is a fight They seek
the combat, regardless of the question
whether the carrying out of the charge
entrusted to them renders this neces-
sary of not The German is first of all
soldier, who looks upon every flight
as a military operation, and that de-
sides his line OF conduct. Our pro-
portionately smaller losses, therefore,
show that our commanders are too
good soldiers to set their airmen i'm
possible tasks. Moreover the airmen
are not sent out singly, for the fulfill
ment of military tasks is more i'm
portant than all spirit of sport and all
Bravery. The century-old German
ilitary tradition cannot be caught up
by the three years warfare of the Brit
ish."
A final inquiry as to who the Ger
mans prefer to meet as enemies elicit
ed the response: THAT is ques-
ton which may not be put. 1t is not
tie sporting achievement, but the full
fillment of the charge in hands-that
is the main thing. With us every sol
der wants to be Boelcke-the death
of his comrades does not frighten him"

WINONA HAS BIG FLAG
Raising of Stars and Stripes Made Oc-
casion for Big Celebration.

Winona, Kan, May 21.-The first
municipal flag to be raised in western
Kansas was raised with appropriate
ceremonies here. Funds for the pur-
chase of a seventy-fiVe foot pole were
for a fourteen foot flag. The pole
of the towns main streets, set in a
concrete base, three feet square, ten
feet below ground.
A committee. consisting of Postmas-
ter A. w. Haines, Col. ]. G. Felts and
F. D. Joslyn, editor of the Logan
County News, had arranged the pro-
gram for the days exercises. Mr.
Haines was also in charge of raising
funds. Patriotic songs, America -
The Star Spangled Banner" selec-
ton by young people of Winona high
school, prayer by the Rev. Hasse1l,
and a very able. patriotic address by
the Rev. Franklin E. Brooke, D. D.,
made up the program.
A beautiful feature of the raising
was that, when the flag was broken
out to the wind, several hundreds of
small flags, concealed within it's folds,
fluttered on the air, falling to the
ground, where they were caught up by
the many children to be kept as SOU
venirs of the occasion. The flag ded-
ication and raising were the closing
feature of Field Day" at the high
school, and a large crowd was present.
So far as known this is the first event
of its kind in this part of the state.

CAN'T TURN TRICK
Alexander Has Been Trying 8
Years to Pitch NO-Hit Game.
Walter johnson, His Greatest
Rival, Under Same HOOdOO.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, May 21.-Grover Cleve-
land Alexander. considered by many
critics the greatest pitcher in base
ball today. has never pitched a no
hit game.
Alex has been hurting the elusive
spheroid in professional ranks for
nine years, and since he started his
career he has been fired with ambi-
ton to earn a niche in the hall of
no-hit fame. only to meet with dis
appointment season after season.
Since Alexander broke into profess
sional BALL big league pitchers have
hurled twenty-eight no-hit games,
and it has taken them nine years to
six years. since Alex has been a ma
jor Lacquer, nineteen hitless games
have been pitched, five of them this
year.
He Is Shut Out King.
Ranked as one of the smartest
pitchers ever brought out. with a
wonderful arm, a great assortme of
foolers and a brand of control that
makes him a wizard, Alex has &C
quilted himself nobly in countless
games.
In the matter of records he enjoys
the individual ownership of the title
of shutout king" Last season he
pitched total Of sixteen shutouts,
taking the record away from Jack
Coombs, who held it for six years
with thirteen 9coreless performances,
pitched in 1910. Alex also ranks with
the few major league pitchers who
have gone thru the season with per-
feet fielding record He fielded 1000
in 1913, and, strange to say, Walter
johnson also turned in a perfect field
ing record that year.
johnson i'm Same Boat.
AleXander's greatest rival, the pride
of Wa shington. is in the same boat
with him in one respect. johnson has
also been trying for years to pitch
hitless game of ball. and has failed
so far. Johnson's records include
place among the four pitchers winning
the greatest number of consecutive
games In 1912 he captured sixteen
ga mes without a break. In 1910 john
son struck out 313 batsmen in forty
five games, which was record for
that year Johnson is also the un-
disputed possessor of the shutout rec
ord for consecutive innings. He
pitched hfty-six consecutive innings of
shutout ball in 1913.
With signs of a nO-hit epidemic in
the air this year. both johnson and
Alexander, his great American league
rival for pitching fame, are hoping
against hope that they may turn in
hitless contest. and they may be re-
warded.

Tener Is Happy That They Are

New York. May 21.-The rejuve-
nation of western teams in the Ma
tional league will do more to boosting
baseball to greater glory than any
thing in years, in the opinion of Gov
ernor John K. Tener, president of the
circuit
Pointing out the dash and spirit of
the Chicago and St. Louis clubs in the
few weeks the season has been sitting
along, Tener declared it not only was a
pleasant surprise, but one that will
create renewed interest IN these clubs.
This means increased patronage in
every one of the eight cities, with a
tremendous increase in Chicago and
st. Louis. 1t has been so long since
the Cubs and Cardinals gave promise
of doing anything more than going
thru the motions of a baseball season
that the fans have tried to forget them
The sudden rise of the teams has
turned that feeling around
Tener's Statement.
Commenting on the Cubs, Tener
said:
Joe Tinker had fifty ball players
from which to build a baseball team
satisfaction to Fred Mitchell to know
that he has been able to fight his way
thru with a team of left overs'
The White Sox streak was stopped
Sunday by the Red Sox at the prob
able expense of Manager Barry's SER
vices.
Six hits was the Athletics total for
two games. The Indians won both.
Boland's double in a pinch COM
bined with his pitching troubled the
Yankees to the extent of one to moth
ing.

teammates for the Browns.

Lawrence, Kan, May 21.-Central
high school of Kansas City won the
invitation track meet held here Satur-
day, scoring a total of 2SE points.
Cherokee, Okla, was second with % u
points and Topeka third with IA.
Altho there were only four Topekans
entered, they were all men of stellar
caliber and their accomplishments
show that they gave a good account
of themselves in every event staged.
Rogers, who is one of the best track
men Topeka ever boosted, took first
in both the mile and half mile. Nc
Callum was third in the 50-yard dash,
and second in the 100. Bruce, of To-
peka, also was second in the second
quarter mile race and the Topeka re-
lay team, composed of Miller, Mccall
lum, Rogers and Bruce, was second.
The individual star of the meet was
Bradley, of Cherokee, who took three
firsts. one second and one tie. Evans.
of Usage City, and Neeley, of Abilene,
had the honor of lowering two records.
Evans, according to the timers, made
the 50-yard dash in 5 2-5 seconds,
which is faster than the worlds inter-
scholastic record. Neeley lowered the
quarter recond one-fifth of a second.
