 Long before the outbreak oI tho war, the British Foreign Office had information to prove that every I'm, perial German embassy and legation in the world, and practically evcU German banking, manufacturing, an, mercantile concern operating within its jurisdiction or district, and yha the character of this cooperation wu both commercial and political; that in fact, substantially every German business institution established ablral was, under the German Imperial sys- tenn constituted an agency of the Ger. man Foreign Office and employed, noy only for the advancement of German financial, industrial, and mercantile interests but for the spread Of Ger man political propaganda, the carry ing on of German espionage. and the promotion of pro-German sentiment.
 With the outbreak of war, France, too. was brought to a speedy realiza- ton of the fact that this condition existed. France and Great Britain had scarcely time to defend thcmselve from the unexpected thrust before the fire in the rear. directed and financed by people to whom they had granted freedom of trade and of opportunity had opened upon them. Among the German bankers, manufacturers, anG merchants, as among the German bar bers, walters clerks, mechanics, as among the German barbers, walters, clerks, mechanics, teachers and mu- sicians to whom they had extended hospitality they found nothing but treachery and conspiracy.
 The United States, with almost un- bounded confidence in German integ- rity, having never had occasion Co put it to the test, had also childlikc confidence in German friendship cor the republic and it's institutions. 1t was hard for Americans to believe that many of the people with whom they had for years mingled in social intimacy. to whom, in many cases, they had granted asylum, upon whom they had bestowed equal privileges with themselves in a free land, Were actually plotting the destruction O. the nations institutions and the liber- ty of it's people.
 Yet it was soon shown that Ger many had carried on and was carry ing on, in the United States, through precisely the same kind of agencies, the same sort of underhand work which it had been doing for years in Great Britian, France and other Eur opean countries. It was quickly brought home to the American people and the United States Government long before a hostile move against Berlin had been made, or was even contemplated at Washington that German intrigue was ramifying the republic. and that it found its in- struments and also substantial sup port among German business inter- ests in all parts of the country.

CROSSING the sutIey.

To cross the Sutley river in lndla,
you would have to do one Of two
things; swim across or ride on an In
dian ferry. IF You chose the latter
you would probably experience some
thing new in ferries, for you either
sit or lie across the back of native,
who in turn Is lying across an In
fiated bullock skin, with his legs trail
Ing behind In the water. The ferry
man initiates the bullock skin by blow
Ing 1t up through a hole in one Of the
legs. After you have clambered on to
the Indians back, he pushes out from
The shore, kicking strongly, and your
ferry trip is begun. It's up TO you to
see that 1t ends successfully, for the
slightest shifting of position en- route
would most likely end disastroasly.

Belzoni, Miss, Nov. 2s.-Some
large land deals have recently been
made in this county. w. A. Billups
Of Carrolton moved here and pur-
chased the D. c. MeKelvy farm for
close to 5000 and sold it in few
days after to w. N. Avant for a good
profit. The H. H. Alexander plan
tation, three and a half miles west
of here, was recently purchased by
Willis Brumfield, who subdivided it.
He sold to r. j. Mccoy 600 acres,
to r. L. Gilmer and G. C. Preston
500 acres and the balance, $50 acres,
will be divided into 40-acre tracts
and sold to small farmers. All this
land brought close around 500 per
acre.
The 760-acre plantation of S. E.
Holland, with about half of it in
cultivation was sold to w. A. Bill
lups for $4,000, or $145 per acre.
This place is seven miles southwest
of Belzoni A 60-acre tract on Sky

Not what You wish But what You Can

No one on earth ever accomplished
fully and completely all his life ideals.
An old proyerb says, "The king him
self does only what he can, not what
he Wishes" Even the most successful
men generally carry about with them
in their Utmost hearts secret and
lurking sense of failure. But that is
no reason why one should become pes
simistlc or his manner sarcastic ana
depressing. Many musicians and mu-
sic teachers, especially those who have
not always received that recognition
from the public which they feel they
deserve, are doing untold harm to the
cause of their musical art by their
caustic and pesslmistic speeches, whtnH
tend to dishearten their younger coz
leagues and even their pupils.

Old grrora.

In the seventeenth century amongst
the common errors which were be-
lieved was that a crystal was nothing
but ice strongly CONCEALED; that d.
amond could be softened by the blood
of CONT; that st0rks would only live
I'm republics ana free states; that men
weighed heavier dead than alive; that
shere was no rainbow before the flood;
and that the flesh OF peacocks did not
decay. The aforementioned belief one
would think was often easily dis
proved; yet II is common obserya-
ton that very few people have seen
a dead donkey and perhaps fewer a
dead peacock. These vulgar errors
have all been substituted by others
as that high wages bring about hap
piness. and that the hest way to get
a living is TO go on strike every fort
night.
