Representatives ftom 31 States were in attendance laying |.l..ris to capture the country ii lf'lt Thej to hold aloof liom both the old parties, but, as the Progressives came almost en tirely from the Republican party, it will be a man's Job to keep tome of them from leaning and looking in that direction. It does *eem that the Democrats have l.een about as progressive as the times demand, and Bhould another iittempt to go further there is a danger of tumbling into pitfalls. The Democrats have wisely enacted much constructive legislation that is now a boon to the entire country "under existing conditions, having in view nil the time to disturb bus iness just as little as possible, and before another election is here the people will realize the soundness of the measures put into laws. Mr. C. 8.

If hoardjng by banks shold cease, hoarding by individuals would never occur; anil both, I be lieve will be relegated to obscurity under the Federal reserve system.

IN WAR'S SHADOW? Deserted Paris, No Longer ,s City of Ujghts, No Music Anywhere, No I Laughter. Scarcely aMm lie. j The boulevards of Paris, still trhow some attempt at bustle, srfys a cable message from the French capital, but most of the city is deserted and the houses show nothing but closed ; shutters. ' * . The shops have again shut their dodrs, the hotels are empty or they shelter wounded soldiers, and the sense of space everywhere is as im pressive as the sudden silence where, hitherto, all has been turmoil. Business is at a standstill, but the people, the native population, never changes. Parisians believe in the destiny of their city, which is the i world. Thfo is nothing compared to what our fathers have known in the pa*t, yet Paris has survived, they say. The Tuileries Gardens are no longer used by the working girls as a dining-room at midday, became the girls have no work and conse quently less lunch even than usual; neither are they used as nurseries for a multitude of babies or aa a trysting place for lovers. The babies have been taken out of danger and the lovers have gone to the war. The little wooden horses of the "roundabouts" wait patiently for the return of their small riders, and, although their paint is growing a little shabby and their legs are golting a little weather-stained, there is no diVubt about their turning as merriiy as ever whensoever they shall be required. The lovers, too, will find their pleasures waiting for ' them; the dear companion, the kios ' ques where they may buy "gaufret te»" and ice cream, the little iron chairs and'the indescribable atmos phere of Paris over all At present ihe kiosques are closed, the iron chairs are empty and the beloved companion "yearns toward the sky ' line, where the strange roads go ■ down." As evening falls Paris becomes curiously subtle and fugitive. Her * landmarks have a way of disappear ing into tho folds of night while daylight still lingers in the skies, the lamplighter is very chary with his lamps in time of war and the moon at that hour is either 100 young 1 or Uki old to couut as a light-giving factor. The rivor flows silently under un limited bridges, tho Chamber of Deputies sleeps with both 1 eyes, and only the ministry of war and the Eiffel Tower are alert and alive to all eventualities. Bui oven they, like the ships on tho sea, go about their business with "lights out." Tho boulevards show no brilliantly-illuminated advertise ments nowadays, and the cafes are lighted with extreme moderation. The cafes close a* H and at 9:30 the restaurants follow suit; at 10 all is quiet, deserted and mysterious. No theaters, no cinemas, no music any where; no laughter, scarcely a smile. Germany Pays Luxemburg Indemnity. When the war began German troops passed through tho Grand Duchy of Luxemburg against tho i protest of that country. It is now ollicially announced that Germany has paid to Luxemburg 1,280,0C0 francs (♦250,000) for damage dono 1 to tho fields and crops by the pas sage of the Go. man troops and 311,- tHXI francs ($12,200) for the use of l tho roads and damage done to streets and buildings. Germany, it will be recalled, offer ed to pay Belgium for all damage if tho German troops were permitted | to pass through that country peace ably. Had Belgium been in position to consent that country would now be receiving money from Germany \ instead of being devastated by war. • 100 Kewtrd, SIOO.

LESSONS FROM WAR! European Conflict Will be the Most Humane In History. The present war, the greatest yet in history, will also be the most humane. There will be no dispro portionate mortality list from dis- i eases and no army of cripples as an aftermath. The modern high-power, quick firing military rifle, and the devel opment in artillery will have much to do with the change. Those who die will die more quickly. Gangrene and infection will be practically unknown quan tities. In the American civil war eight soldiers died of disease to one from wounds. Experts expect that in the present general European struggle not more than three will fall victims to sickness to one kill ed on the field of battle. Such is the advance of army sanitatioijand army surgery in 30 Americans and Japanese have b(*tn the leaders. The United States army hospitals have installed many remarkable innovations since the Spanish-American war, with its dreadful lesson in the danger of typhoid. Before the Russo-Japanese con flict the armies the world over used a high caliber bullet, made of unßheathed leitd ad grea»?d to overcome friction in the barrel. . The muzzle velocity was less than half that of the missiles now employed. The bullets which are flying in Europe to-day are of less diameter are jacketed with nickel, lead or steel, and have temendous vel ocity. The soft, mushrooming bullets of the old day resulted in the shat tering of bones and the crushing, rather than the cutting of tissues. Infection was almost inevitable, the grease being especially unsanitary. A wound in the abdomen was con sidered necessarily fatal. The death rate among the wounded was enor-. mous. In recent campaigns there are in stances where soldiers shot in what were once considered vital spo f s, have walked unsupported to the field hospital. Hitting a man beyond 350 yards, the wounds inflicted by the present bullets are clean cut. They fre-' quently pass through bone tissue without splintering. When meeting an artery the bul let usually pushes it to one side and goes around without cutting the blood channel. Amputations are very rare com pared with wars of more than 50 ago. " A bullet wound through a ioint such as the knee or elbow, thery necessitated the amputation of the Vlimb. Now such a wound is easiily "opened and dressed. All the nations use vacine to combat typhoid, the scourge whic>i once decimated whole ctmps and killed 1,600 in our Spanish war. Then every officer is instructed in first aid treatment. This alle viates a great deal of suffering on the field of battle. Next to typhoid dysentery is the great army scourge. This is at tacked by sterilizing the drinking water. History shows sanitation has of ten determined the fate of natoins. In 1792, when the fine Prussian troops marched to the relief of Louis XVI, the raw levies of the young republic met and repulsed them. General du Mouries, com mander of the French troonS, shows clearly In his report that the Prus sians had been unfitted for service by dvaenterj. Ordinary sanitation would have prevented this. The Food Products of the Countries at War. Of the nations st wsr England produces less of ber foodstuffs than soy other. A Department of Agri culture investigation made public At Waahington indicates that England producee about 53 per cent, of ber food requiremesfi; Belgium 67 per cent.; Germany 88 per cent.; France 02 per cent, and Auatria-Hungary 89 per cent. Kussis produces 110 per cent., exporting about 10 per cent. Canada produces 23 percent more than ahe c dsumes; -Argentine produces 48 per cent, more than she consumes and the United Statea ex ports aud imports aim oat balance. '"The United Kingdom," says the report, ' produces ooly 27 per cent, of her requirements uf edi le grains, but 53 per cent, of ber meats, 62 per cent, of her dairy products, 58 per cent, of ber poultry, more than 90 1 per cent, of her vegetables and 21 per cent, of her fruits She ia an exporter of fish products."

Thousands of people aU over BUUIQNS' DRUG BTORR DER KAISER. How He teslly Looks, Outside of His Pictures. William 11, "Der Kaiser", for Bis mark insisted that the new German Emperors should assume the an- I cient style of the old Emperors of Germany—ls the ninth monarch of the house of Hohenzoilern to rule over the kmgdom of Prussia and third of the house to rule over the empire of United Germany. He is a gray haired man of 55, not more than 5 feet g or 9, with a dis tinct inclination to corpulency. He carries most of his fat about his waist, and although he bears him self erect his shoulders are round. His legs are too short for his body, but umen walking he takes long strides and lets his long spurs clank. Of late years he has worn a flowing military cape, as it per mits him to retain something of the martial air of his younger days. Naturally, he looks his best when he is on horseback. The real countenance of this much advertised man is perceptibly different from the thousands of portraits that are on sale all over the world, and which show the dashing, dauntless, somewhat de fiant head of the Hohenzoilerns. That is a pose assumed for the photographer, a pose intended to idealize him to his subjects, and to con\ey the impression that "Der Kaiser" is devoted to lofty aims and is elevated above the common herd. All his official photographs have the same expression, the look that the Germans call "ernst", but his natural face is a very sad face furrowed by anxiety; a casual ob server might say that he looks cross. How they Proceed on Graflers in China. t Pek ng, China, Dispatch, Wang Chih-Hsing, the ex-prefect of Shuntienfu, the metropolian dis trict hi which Peking is situated, has been executed by shooting because of bribery and corruption—for sell ing offices under liina and accepting 1 "squeeze." Wang Chih-Hsing held the military rank of lieutenant gen eral. The case has caused great excite ment ia political circles in China, especially because General Wang was a personal friflnd of Yuan Shi Kai. It is reported that the Presi dent sent an emissary to the family of the general, informing them of his regret at having to fulfill the law in order to stamp out corruption, snd of his intention to provide for the maintenance of the family. Many minor officials also have lost their lives because of dishonesty and opium-smokers continue to die at the nsnce of the family. The Governor of the important province of Kansu has been dis missed from office because he did not believe in the sincerity of the Presi dent when, recently orders were is sued that the time-honored custom of sending aich gifts to the emperor on ihe anniversary of hia birthday was not to be followed in the case of the President. To Investigate the Need and Demand for Cotton. The world's need for cotton at the present time and the estimated de mand for next year is to be ths sub ject of sn investigation by State De partment officials. Secretary Mc- Adoo of the Treasury Department has requested Secretary Bryan to aecure all possible information on this subject. United States consuls have been instructed to mske careful inveatiga tion. The reports from the consuls will be compiled each month and probably will be made public for the use of cotton producers. fan Know What Yna Are Tmklng When you take Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic because the formula Is plainly printed on every bottle showing that It Is Iron snd Qui nine In s tsstelsss form.

I WORSE THAN DUMDUMS. r i Shrapnel Wound* Arc Very Dllenlt to Treat, Next to dumdum bullets, shrapnel n is the curse of modern warfare - from a medical standpoint, accord f ing to Dr. C. C. Pierce, one of the t surgeons connected with the pub e lie health and marine hospital ser i vice. e "We can usually fix op a man f if he's wiunded by a bullet," said e Dr. Pierce, "whether the bullet - comes from a rifle or a machine e gun, but the high percentage of 8 mortality in war comes from snrs(p - «el, dumdum and bayonets. Shrap- I I. nel though is the worst of all. A '» shrapnel wound is usually caused ? by a jagged, irregular piece of a shell that usually tears the flesh i and tissue so that there is little left - to mend." * ' I f "A shrapnel shell is usually of >• steel loaded with cast iron balls 1 about an inch in "diameter. In the I head of the shell there is a time 8 fuse, which is set off by the shock f of the shell as it strikes. The fuse f communicates to the explosives r within and the shell bursts, scat ® tering the fragments and the iron - shot insidf. "Shraprffel, military experts say, b is used to locate and silence small > batteries, such as machine guns. J the only thing thit prevents r shrapnel being one of the most s deadly weapons ever devised, is i the fact that its direction cannot I 8 be fully controlled. No one can c tell in which direction the frag-1 ' ments of an exploding shrapnel s shell will fly. A man comparatively - near the exploding shell may not 9 be struck, while a man further away may have his head blown off. I — i 1 A Century of Printing. *J London Dispatch.
