and the Alliance and the Pallas he
was swooped down upon by the fiotil-
Ia under Captain Pearson which was
conveying a merchant fleet. Jones
prepared to meet the enemy as best
he could. The British guns had long
range and Paul Jones determined to
fight close He brought his ships up
TO the enemy until the muzzles of his
guns came in contact with the enemy
ships. Then ensued one of the most
frenzied conflicts in the history of
naval battles, continuing from seven
TO ten in the evening. Paul Jones'
position was desperate in the extreme.
His ship was so shattered that only
three guns remained effective, and he
then assailed the enemy with hand
grenades which falling into the
Scraps soon set her on fire. At
length her magazine blew up killing
all near it. Pearson commanded his
officers who wanted to surrender to
board the Richard which was also
now ablaze in several places But
Jones and his men received them so
warmly that they retreated. Parsons
crew was killed his guns unmounted
and his ship on fire and there was moth
ing else to do but surrender.

Wood cut In October and November,
therefore. may be burned the latter
part Of the winter.
Formerly 1t was common practice to
have wood cut by contract for from
81 to $3.50 per cord. With the present
high price Of labor. however, the cost
may exceed 81 a cord. The great diff
ficulty in securing farm labor is dur
ing the harvesting period. II farmers
can secure sufficient labor to harvest
their crops. they should be able to
keep enough men to cut and haul wood
later in the season. In fact. the profit
able employment Of one or two extra
men on the farm during the winter
may help to solve labor difficulties dur
ing the rush season.
The prices which cordwood will
likely bring this year offer an oppor-
tunIty for the farmer to improve his
woodland Improving the woodland
means taking out the poorer trees. In
the past this has seldom been prac-
ticable. for the inferior wood was not
marketable. With wood bringing only
from 81 to S. cord. there is very
little opportunity to secure n profit of
even 81 a cord. But with the prices
indicated for the coming winter, thin

 Our people must awaken to the reali- ration that this is not civilized war and that we are fighting a nation of the highest civilization which decided, long ago. that this should not be civilized war. The dis position of the Anglo-Saxon races to take sporting and chivalrous attitude toward their enemies was discounted in the German school of warfare. Plans to take advantage of it were eagerly and scientifically arranged
 The use of poison gas, the dissemination of disease germs, the bombardment of unforti- fled cities. the despolation of the young women of captured territory, the sinking of unarmed passenger vessels, were all details of a deliberate preparation for fnghtful- ness, and the utmost care was taken to keep the murderous planning secret, so that it's effect might not be lesscned by anticipation of it. The Prussian manner of thought and the conception which the Prussian has of warfare make it impossible for us to treat him as a Christian and civilized opponent.
