SENATOR KENYON'S CONTRAST.
49, ING VIEWS.

Just what is the purpose Of the
Kenyon bill now in hearing at Wash
,ington would be hard to deduce from
Senator Kenyon's own statements. In
the bill itself the purpose is set forth
as follows: ''To stimulate the pro-
duction, sale, and distribution Of live
stock and live stock products, and for
other purposes" This stimulation Of
live stock production may ba well
taken as bid to the consumer TO hope
for lower meat prices.
But he has a different thought to
present to producers. In letter ad.
dressed recently to the Wallace Farm
er he says: II do not believe nhSself
that the situation as to restricted
consumption is going to be changed
very much, and there will be the neces-
sity Of less production" OF course
less production would supposedly mean
higher prices for live stock, bit also
higher prices for meat.
Are either the general public or the
farmer going to be fooled by this
method of playing up the one against
the other7 It is not likely. Farmers
and consumers are both coming to the
realization that hampering the pack
ers is not going to bring higher prices
for live stock nor lower prices for
meat, but quite the opposite.

A painter, whose name is withheld,

His probable fate flashed into his
mind. Bossy took one look upward
toward the heavens and saw the
painter descending. This time the COW
became frightened and ran her horns
through the lower rungs of the ladder.
OH she went in gallop, carrying
the ladder, painter, paint and all. The

USE QUAIL TACTICS
How Villa and His Men Foil
Pursuit.
Bandits Scatter and Hide az FederaIs
Appear-Brown Uniforms
Aid,

Juarez, Mex. - Francisco Villas
method of evading pursuit by Mexi-
can government troops is almost iden-
tical with that used by a covey Of
quail to escape the hunter. Even the
detail of protective coloring has been
applied by Villa, for his men always
wear brown cotton clothing which
blends with the desert landscape and
dust clouds through which they travel
in campaign.
Hunters know that the quail's in
stinct directs it to scatter when dan
ger approaches and seek cover in the
nearby landscape. Villa and his reb-
Ell bands do the same thing when a
superior federal column approaches
Often Villas band will number 1000
men under his chiefs, Angeles, Lopez,
Diaz and Garcia. They make a COL
umn which coils across the plains like
giant snake and leaves a great dust
cloud in it's wake.
But let General Castro's government
troops approach with artillery, ma
chine guns and cavalry mounted on
former American army horses and the
column will break up into little bands
Of 100 under petty chiefs, will disap-
pear in some mountain canyons and
go into hiding until the federals pass.
Once the danger of attack is over the
column reassembles, occupies some
town in it's path and again disappears
with it's loot.
Villas men have been known to
hitch their horses to plows in the
fields of the irrigated districts and be
industriously blowing when the fed
eral scouts appeared. They have
learned various tricks of deception
during the years of evading the fed
erals, and even drive herd of burros
with them so, they may transform
themselves into wood vendors on oc-
casiOn.

AUSTRIA FORCED WAR
Minutes Of Mutiny Of Privy coun-
Gil Reveal Secret.
Count Won eerchtold Solely Respon.
s'b's for Outbreak Of
hootlilties.

Vienna.-There were made public
from the archives of the former Aus
tro-Hungarian government minutes Of
the meeting Of the privy council on
July z, 1914, at which it was virtually
decided to begin war on Serbia.
According to this publication the
ministry Of Austria Hungary, especial
ly Count Leopold Won Berchtold,
foreign minister. was solely RESPONSE
bic for the outbreak of hostilities.
The minutes show the meeting to
have been opened by Count Won Berch-
told, who pleaded for an immediate
resort to arms against Serbia, stating
that Italy and Roumania "could be
compensated afterward for not hay
ing been consulted beforehand"
Count Stephen Tisza, then Hungar-
Ian premier, opposed the war, demand
ing that diplomatic action be taken
first and then that an ultimatum Of an
acceptable nature be sent. Only in
case both failed would he have resort
ed to arms.
Count Won Berchtold thereupon said {:
Nov, Is the right moment because
Germany is ready to assist" ~.
p Count Tisza again warned against
the danger Of a general European war
as a result Of steps which were con.
templated, whereupon Count Won
Berchtold said: 1.-THE opportunity is so
favorable that immediate action is
necessary"
:: Finally a resolution was adopted
that such far-reaching demands be
made Of Serbia that she could not full
fill them and thus way would be

RICHEST III OF NATIONS
United States Is Put Far in Lead
by British Expert.
Germany Holds Second Place and Eng
.. land Third, According to Pro-
-. fessor Stamps Statistics.

London.-While the brain might reel
at the many figures unloaded at a
meeting of the Royal Statistical soci-
ETY., some interesting details as to the
worlds wealth can be extracted from
a paper written by Prof. j. G. Stamp.
Comparing the prewar wealth and in
come of England, Germany and the
United States, Professor Stamp COM
putes the respective totals at: E..
Wealth. Income.
England .........$ u, 900 $11 25O 900 900
Germany ......... 82,750, 100000 1O75O 600 600
United states... 100O0,00O,000 36,250, 900, 00O
On a per capita basis also, America
comes out easily the richest country
in the world. The capital per head of
the population, according to Professor
Stamp, was, before the war:
. ..@s5.,t-=E- : tAC Capital Income.
England ................... $500 $3.50
Germany ..................: 1,22O $50
United States ............. 2,12O 800
All these figures must be consider
ably inflated to obtain the current
years capital and income, but the in
crease would certainly be biggest in
the case Of the United States. which
could boast atsleast treble it's prewar
wealth, u. r..
| The thrifty habits Of the French ma
ton were reflected, said Professor
Stamp, in capital of $1,515 per head,
while Italy and Australia had only 500
and $6O5, respectively. He computes
Japan's capital at SIP 1000, 600, 600, or on
per capita basis, $3.50 capital, and $50
income per head Of population. The
capital and income of Spain was prob.
ably as low as any in Europe, the in.
come per head not exceeding -$55.
