Mr. Hendersv)n tx'cuj^ied a position wherein heconld have been a strong ppoke in the political whtu'l. but he stuck to i)rincii)les rather than to politicians. Mr. Wilson hasar«*cor(l that has always bt>en ontsi»dken against progress and in tins he lia.- crosst'd* Mr. Henderson's path in the matter of school taxation. Mr. \Vilson went to tlit? legislature and of coiirst* his ^oin>; unmistakably fori'shadowed tlie undoing of .\lr. Henderson. Tliis was evulently one of the objects of bis mission to Kaleiyrh and it was bis buMness to see that thosi* be H]ipoint»*d on the educational board would carry out his wishes Tins he ac(Himi)lished.

The Tnited States cruiser Olympia. Achiiiral Dewey’s flapship at th«- battle of Manil:;. ran apround in tho fop off Ulock Island. I., June L't>.

Th»> members of the export.' council will nu'ft in a fnw days to firiranize and to recommend to the jiresidi'nt a .'erics of proclamations which will put the nt'w law into active opei-aiion. President Wilson says the fn^e trad" of the country will not be arbitrarily inlerft*red with, but will lie intellipei.i ly and systematically directed in ’he lipht of full information ■with repani to need.^ and market conditions and the nc-ce.-^.v-ities of the people and the armies at homo and abroad. ^ When the order canic t(» pr pare im mediately an expeditionary force to po ♦o France, virtually all of tlie men now across the seas were on the Mexica ' !iordf*r.

The price of soft coal to the aver* are home will vary with the fre'pht charges and retailers’ profits, as It is announced the miners have agreed to I educe the price $2.50 per ton. I'resident Wilson has barred “bone dryness’' from the food control biH. The bill \^ill probably permit the man ufacture of beer, wines and other light beverages. The interstate commerce commis sion has d*'nied the plea of the rail roads for a horizontal increase of 15 per cent in freipht rates. The interstate commerce commis- sitn annnince.s that increases in the freipht rates »n coal, coke and iron ore will be granted. The interstate commerce commis sion says that the gloomy forecast of jeopardized incomes, seen by railroad officials early in 1917, have no* !•• en bo!*ne out by the figures available for lat^’r months; rather to the c(*ntrary. The United States’ export policy will be determined by PrvsiJlent Wilson only after a most thorough study of its international aspects. The presi dent is anxious that no injustice shan be done even the smallest neutral. It is not yet known whether Bra zil’s break with Germany means that she will enter actual hostiliti>s, hut u i> confidently expected that Itrazil will follow the UnitfHl States. A Petrograd di."=patch says Major General Scott, chief military member of the American mission, is on an ex tended tour comprising the whole Rus sian front. The advance guard of the mighty army the Fnited States is preparing; to s«‘nd against Germany is on French soil. In defiance of German submarine, thousands of seasoned regulars and marines, trained fighting men with the fan of long service f»n the Mexican border or in Haiti or San Domingo still on their faces, will soon be fighting alongside the French, the British, the Relgian, the Russian, the Portuguese and the Italian troops on the western front of the modern Armageddon. Press dispatche.c from France show that Major General Sibert commands the first force sent abroad. General Pershing is, of course, commander-in- chief of the exi»edition. j The rnliel States, it is admitted I in allied capitals, has set a record for I the transportation of troops to the I fighting zone. ! The l'nit-d States troops in France will put n(t burden on the allied troops already there. The troops will be fed, clothed, arme| and equipped by the T'nited Stales povernni*-nt. I President Wilson certainly ip haT- i inp difficult (juestions put up to him, and to his jtnlpment falls thf> success j or failure of America in the world- j war. Th^ latest (piestion put .o him is. whether prohihition shall be put. ^ in the food contrtd hill. Euroncan War Greece has severed dliiloniatic rela tions with Cermany, .\u.''ria, Hiiiipary, Ptiluaiia and Turkey. It is expected th.it she will soon declare war asainst th“ centra! powers, due in most part to the incompatibility of an e.xisting uar in h.*r territory wi hout Iut act- i\e participation. I’remier IJoyd-Gcorpe, speakinp in O’.ispow. .Scotland, .'•a.vs the war will continue until the aims of the allie.s have be«“n ftilly attained. I-loyd (leorpe says (Iteat Britain’s food supply will hold out if the sub marine war is kept wi'hin it^ present bounds and the peopl*‘ iiractice frupal- ity. Picked Cermans are beinp htirled at tile l-'felK h fiont, with success at some p ints and failure at others.

Tho ('anadian troops operating around Lens, the great coal minting center which the Germans captured from th** l-'rt*nch.'are slowly encirtdinp that cen'er, and it is re!)ortel that the Germans have all hut ceased min ing operations. This seems to fore cast that the Germans realize that tht*ir tenure of this position can only be short-lived. Only partol parties of the infantry are active on the western front, and only small hit.'- of tei'ritory have been attacked for several days. The C'anadians have capuired anoth- »>r trench on the l>(^ns-Arras road, but further attempts have been repulsed by the Germans. Reports from allied centers are to the effect that the Uritish are now en,!.':aped in blazing the way for a new thrust at the (Jerman lines with the j hope o* driving them farther back while the sumir.er weather holds out. *4> sUive for th«‘ mastery in France. | AM, tJu, 4o/|^ YOUK MONEY IS NOT SAFHIUNLESS ITIISJN THF BANK.
