Thrilling Week Ends.

It Is curious to recall how many
thrilling Saturdays and Sundays there
have been during the war. 1t was ON
a Sunday that Germany committed
her first definite act Of war. On a
Sunday the London Times published
its telegram about the retreat from
Mons, which created so painful feel.
ing In that country. The crucial day
of the second battle of Ypres, when
the Germans nearly broke through with
the help of gas, was a Saturday. 1t
was on a Saturday that the earlier
dispatches regarding the battle of Jut-
land created so unfortunate an i'm
preston. and it was on a Saturday in
March this year that we began to real
ize the grim possibilities of the Ger
man offensive of that month.

Jusserand's Tribute.

A very eloquent Frenchman, Ambas-
sador Jusserand, has paid this hand
some tribute to the American army in
France: "a valiant army, the praise Of
which is on every lip youthful, good
humored. CHEEKY army, whose every
soldier is welcome in castle or hut, and
is offered just as heartily The best cake
or the last crust; an immense army
that grows ceaselessly-month after

Der of men Napoleon had at Waterloo.
Many French names written on your
map recall our presence here at the
time of your fight for independence,
chief among them that of Lafayette.
Many American names will in after
time recall the splendid part you are
taking in the deliverance Of France
and Of the world. Youths Compan-

FIVE YOUNGER THAN AMERICA
This Country by No Means Most Ju.
venie of the. Nations Engaged
In the War.

The average man thinks the United
States Is the youngest nation that was
actively engaged in the war that prac-
tically ended with the recent signing
of the armistice with Germany. AS a
matter OF fact. it is one of the Older
nations engaged in the war.
The most recently formed nations
that have taken part in the struggle
are Roumania. Bulgaria, and Serbia,
which were given their independence
of Turkey about forty years ago. They
had existed before, though not pre-
cisely in the limits of today, but they
had been long under Turkish rule.
Next in youth is Germany. OF course
there has been Germany for twenty
centuries or longer, but at first Ve
name described the territory in which
various entirely Independent tribes
lived and afterward it described a fed
GRAFTON so loosely joined together that
its states were as often fighting each
other as in alliance with each orher.
Still later-about fifty years ago-Ger-
many was divided into two federa-
tions, but both combined against
France in 1870. The German empire
was established in 1871 and Germany
was never really nation before that
time.
Next comes Italy, which became a
kingdom IN 1850 or 1860. OF course
Italian !istufy is older than the his
tory of any other country in Europe
except Greece, ibut the earlier history
of Italy was the history of Rome,
which overAowed the boundaries Of
the peninsula and conquered the great
er part of the known world. But less
than sixty years ago what is now Italy
was divided into four states. II was
consolidated about ffty-eight years
ago, though a small strip Of territory
was left to the pope This was taken
during the war between France and
Germany and the capital of the united
nation was moved to Rome.
So five of the nations taking an ac-
tive part in the war are younger than
the United States, which had existed
as an Independent government nearly
one hundred years before the German
empire was established. OF course the
states of Germany are older than the
United States, but the German empire
is not.
If Greece were considered as taking
an active part in the war she would
be added to the list of juniors. being
less than a century old. France Great
Britain, Russia, and Austria "e the
only nations participating in the war
that are older than the United States
unless Portugars participation is con-
sdered active enough to count in the
list.

/. Other Matters Discussed,

street railway lines in this city would
work to the disadvantage of the Capt.

meeting last night, held at st. Ste

posed to such'a move at the present
time.
The consensus of the members was
that the proposed merger would mean
the loading up of going company
with one that is alleged to be steadily
failing. which would mean a COM
plete reorganization with loss to the

Monument Described.

A square granite base with four
steps supports in the center a mas
sive circular granite pedestal, on
which stands a heroic group OF eight
figures. Gen. Meade's figure stands
at the main front. He wears the
uniform of his rank and carries his
hat in his right hand against his
breast. On his right and left are fe-
male figures representing Loyalty and
Chivalry. The former holds aloft a
standard bearing the insignia of the
Army of the Potomac.
Back of this group stands another
formed of the figure of the record
ing angel of war fianked on either
side by figures representing Courage
and Energy. On either side of the
pedestal between the two groups
stand figures representing Fame and
Progress. All the figures are OF
heroic proportions and face outward
from their base on the circular
pedestal.
All the figures will be carved out
of rcse-pink Tennessee marble, and Il
is estimated that the group alone will
cost $4,000.

did not seem to be any use of more

Milk Price Jumps
Cent a Quart Here;
Ice Scarcity Blamed
Distributors Decision to
Increase Cost Comes as
an Unpleasant Surprise;
Higher Expenses Cited

The Borden and Sheffield Farms milk
companies, controlling more than fifty
per cent of the milk distribution in the
city, advanced the price of the various
grades of milk one cent quart yester-
day. Grade A milk will be 18 cents a
quart and Grade B 16 cents.
The raise came suddenly Household
ers found notices of the new scale of
prices with their morning milk. The
increase came as an unpleasant sur
prise, especially since the custom in
other years has been to lower rather
than advance the milk price in July.
The shortage Of ice, the increased
cost Of labor and the advance in the
price of milk to the farmer were cited
as reasons for the revised schedule by
officials Of the companies. T. r. last
the Dairymen's League, declared that
distributors are paying $3.O1 hun
drcd pounds for milk during July. COM
pared with $3.50 in June. There are
forty-seven quarts to one hundred
pounds. making the increase in price
to the distributor approximately one
fourth of cent.
Robert Z. Bowling, chairman Of the
Governors Milk Commission, said that
ne Huu no JullSQlctlOn over the hXlnR
of the price. He said he had received
a letter from the Borden Company in
forming him that unless they advanced
their prices they would be compelled
to conduct business at a loss.
The function of the milk commits
sion, he explained, is to adjust diff
ferences between producers and dis
tributers. The price for each month,
he said, is prcdicated upon the but
ter and cheese quotations of the pre-
vious month. The commission will hold
a meeting this week, he said, unof-
fclally TO determine whether or not
the advance is warranted
?. D. Fox, an executive of the Bor-
den Company, declared that the prin-
cipal factor in the advance has been
the increased cost Of refrigeration.
1--WE are hard hit by the advanced
cost Of ice he said. "Our other run
ming expenses have also advanced con-
siderablT. The butter and cheese
quotations., on which we base our price,
show higher figures than usual This
is due probably to the large proportion
of the products being exported"
|. Elkins Nathan, secretary of the
milk conference board, the dis
trlbuters' organization, said that the
board has no hand in the fixing of
prices. He declared however, that the
cost Of manufacturing milk bi-products
had increased to a large extent.
The new price schedule follows:
