Charge It
lfc -r-TJST chalk it down" the poor man said when he had bought some boneless
I bread and many costly things his wife and brood of bairns to feed the
J moat of which they didn't need as much as you need wings. He buys
the richest things in town and always says "Just chalk it down 111 pay you
soon yon bet;" and payday evening finds him broke his hard earned plunks gone
up in smoke and still he is in debt. The man who doesn't buy for cash lays in
all kinds of costly trash that he could do without; he spends his coin before it's
earned and toars about it when it's burned is that your way old scout? When
comes the day of evil lock the war bag doesn't hold a buck to keep the wolf away;
the "charge it" plan will work no more at any market shop or store; no goods
unless you pay. The poor man for his money sweats and he should pay for
what he gets just when he gets the same; then when he goes his prunes to buy
and sees how fast the nickels fly hell dodge the spendthrift game. If you
begin to save your stamps some day with teardrops in your lamps this writer
you will thank; when man in grief and sickness groans there's naught like having
fifteen bones in seme good savings-bank.

Some Comparisons
AUGUST 2 this war began in its continent-wide aspect. Only three weeks
have elapsed yet the world demands news of a decisive battle. Possibly
2300000 men in arms face each other along the west German frontier and
in Belgium. But the line if 250 miles long.
The Germans have moved from Aix la Chapelle about 65 miles to Brussels.
It took the Japanese armies nearly seven months to push back the Russian lines
an equal distance from Liao-yang to Mukden. At Mukden about 300000 men
on each side were engaged and it took two weeks to reduce that stronghold.
Two weeks were also spent at Liao-yang enforcing the first great break in the
Russian line.
The fighting along the German-French-Belgian lines may last for months.
It will be a succession of battles skirmishes and sieges. Half a dozen big
battles may be going on at one time somewhere along the line.
At Mukden the battle fronts extended 60 miles; at Liao-yang 40. There
never was in the whole history of the world a campaign or a battle line like that
which presents infinite possibilities of momentous developments in central Europe
today.
Can there be under such circumstances anything like the predicted "dash on
Pans"? Can brilliant flanking movements or center rushes be looked for? More
likely it will be a steady and persistent smashing and grinding all along the line
with unequal results and long suspense.
We Americans look back at our civil war for something to compare with.
Just before the great campaigns of 1864 opened all the union armies combined
reported "present for duty equipped" only 533447 officers and men. On May 1
1865 the union armies reached their maximum strength. "On paper" they num-
bered 1000000 men. Actually present for field duty probably not over 600000.
At no time during the war in all probability was actual fighting in all regions of
conflict participated in by more than a total of 750000 men counting all forces
on both sides actually in the field.
In 1865 the United States had more trained soldiers under arms than any
other nation had. But today nearly 20000000 men are under arms in Europe and
the areas of conflict in other continents and probably 10000000 are actually on
field duty.
It looks as if there might be a war over there if the excitement keeps up.
Harvest Hands
BV GEORGE FITCH.
Author of "At Good Old Slvrash."
THE harvest hand Is a man whose
duty It is to pile up prosperity
with a pitchfork.
He generally be distinguished by
his deep scarlet neck. Most of the
world's sunshine Is concentrated in tne
harvest field and after a harvest hand
has toiled for two weeks with nothing
between him and the sun but a half acre
straw hat he looks like a lobster who
has just had a hot bath. .. .
The harvest hand follows the binder
and piles the bundles of wheat and oats
Into neat little piles. Later on he pitches
these piles onto a wagon. Almost any-
body can stick a fork into a couple of
wheat bundles and hoist them gaily
aloft. But the second pair of bundles
weigh more than the first aad the 100th
pair weigh twice as much. By afternoon
uie green young narvrai. uauu o ii.w.-
lng haystacks instead of bundles and
by night he is pitching pyramids.
About all the work in the wheat field
comes at harvest time. This makes the
harvest hand a scarce and valuable In-
stitution. He gets from J2.50 to Ha
day in Kansas with board and a bed In
the hay loft thrown in. Thousands of
Placid men who lead lives of leisure far
from the reach of a bath tub stroll out
Into Kansas during the harvest to work
a little at these figures. But very few
of them get rich at it. After a man
has rested doggedly for 2 years he is
not of much account In a wheat field
where "rest" ! the rarest and most un-
frequent word in the dictionary.
Many a college boy takes off his
dinky hat and pretty frat pin in the
summer and goes out to Kansas where

The Church and the Chamber of Commerce
LITTLE
INTERVIEWS
fcfcTN
JLai
FIFTY DOLLARS from the First Methodist church has been added to the
Budget fund of the El Paso chamber of commerce. This subscription .shows
the appeal which the work of the chamber of commerce is making to the
people of 1 Paso. Thongh themselves under the burden of heavy financial pres-
sure as a result of the building of their new church on Montana street the con
gregation of this church deemed it worth while to set aside $50 for the chamber 1
work in helping to make 1 Paso a better city.
The members of the church as their pastor expressed it in forwarding the
donation feel that the money being raised for the work of the chamber of com-
merce will be put to such use as will redound to the benefit of the city socially
and religiously as well as financially. The broad work of the chamber of commerce
is thus fittingly recognized.
The chamber of commerce is backing the playground movement the beautifi-
cation of the city and the work of civic betterment in all lines and none are in
position to sooner recognize it than the church workers. So important does
this Methodist congregation consider the work that they have decided to further
burden themselves financially to give it help. It is an example to other organiza-
tions and to individuals of 1 Paso. It shows 'how the work of the chamber of
commerce is appealing to all classes of people. These church people do not expect
to reap financial returns from their donation but they realize that the money as
it has been expended and as it is planned to expend it in future will work for
the betterment of all 1 Paso and its people; in this the churches can join for
it is largely supplementing much of the work for which the churches have stood
since their foundation. It is a tribute to the chamber of commerce and its
earnestness and it is a tribute to the broadness of a Christian congregation
The Other Side of the News
GERMANY'S side in the news has yet to be heard. The censorship is so
strict that little trickles through except what the Belgians the French
and the British see fit to transmit. There is no cable to Germany and
the British and French cables are all subject to censorship by Germany's enemies
on the other side of the ocean.
Every dispatch printed in The Herald about European war movements shows
clearly en its face its origin. Every newspaper reader must be assumed to
possess such intelligence and discrimination 'as will lead him to make his own
deductions and his own mental reservations as he reads the day's news.
The Herald and the Associated Press are fulfilling every legitimate require-
ment of news reporting when after making the utmost effort to get all the news
from reliable sources and to present it fairly they indicate clearly the news
sources and warn the public against making snap judgments without having
all the facts.
When news from German sources becomes available the Associated Press
carries it and The Herald will of course print it always subject to interpretation
by the individual reader. It is literally true that nobody on earth at this moment
knows precisely what is hapenning in all the vast and widely scattered theaters
of war or precisely what has been happening. But from the mass of information
that develops the intelligent reader as well as the newspaper editor can get
an approximation to the truth and can form his own opinions upon the general
situation. Generally speaking it is safe to say that important victories will not
be suppressed by the winning side.

tempting glasses of soda or
dishes of ice cream are shown in the
windows;" said H. H. Rumstedt who
Is the American representative of a
large German manufacturing house.
"Those dainties which are so natural
aa to almost defy detection without the
closest examination are one of the
principal products of the toy makers
of Germany. In many cases the ex-
hibits are very elaborate such as a
glass of soda with whipped cream and
cherries on top and a sprig of mint
to top it. In many cases the models
are made out of glass specially frosted
glass representing the Ice cream and
whipped cream and much ingenuity is
required to get the natural effect. This
Industry like almost all others in Ger
many has now come to a standstill. I
So natural are the imitations that they
command a good price."
.
"With the resumption of sailings by
the French line." said J. E Monroe
"the indications for at least a partial
resumption or European traffic is good.
The Cunard line will probably be next
to announee regular sailings bat it is
doubtful whether the German lines will
risk their steamers unless they can
spare cruisers to convoy them. There
were many El Pasoass booked to leave
for Europe when the war broke out
and a number of them have been
spending their vacations in Xew York
as the next best thing "
"If you want to rent a house insert a
want advertisement in the Herald."
said J. J McClintock. "Several days
ago I placed a want ad in the Herald
to rent my house. Since that time I
must have received 104 inquiries from
persons who read the advertisement.
The house was rented the day follow-
ing the apearance of the ad and I could
have rented a dozen such houses if I
had owned .them. Why today I have
had no less than 10 calls. These little
ads certainly bring results."
"It Is worth the long car ride twice
a day. to live out in the suburbs and
enjoy the fresh air and quiet evenings
free from the noise and smoke of the
city" said Hugh T. Henry. "El Paso
certainly has ideal suburban residence
sections and one can find something just
to his liking in the numerous addi-
tions reached by the street car lines.
After living out for awhile one seldom
goes back to the city to live. Those
who live downtown so to speak do
not know what they are missing."
Though fall is approaching. Cloud-
croft is still enjoying a large patronage
from those El Pasoans and others who
find in the resort a pleasant place to
spend a few days or weeks said
waiter Knight who was in EI Paso
Tuesday. "While many summer resi-
dents have left Cloudcroft. many more
have arrived to take their places and
we look for the season this year to ex-
tend through September anyway. In !
fact it is September when the scenic
grandeur of the Sacramentos Is at its
best cloudcroft Is Ideal for nine of
the It months in the year the excep-
tions being December January and
February when It snows quite a bit."
"In fairness to the German people
I think Americans should hesitate be-
fore they believe these stories about
the mistreatment of foreigners in Ger-
many." said G. A. Trost. "That is
not like the German people and the
returning Americans have denied the
stories as being wholly untrue and In
direct opposition to the real facts.
The German people are a peaceful
people and they are the last to seek
trouble. To have insulted and in-
jured noncombatants is beyond the be-
lief of anyone who knows the race
and I have been sure all the time that
as soon as the truth was known this
false report would be corrected."
"Napoleon said that an army trav-
els on its belly like a snake." said
judge Beauregard Bryan. "That is
just as true today as it was in Na-
peleon's time and that Is going to
make the present great war a brief
ope. England has swept the seas clear
of German vessels. The ships cap-
tured by England amount to more
than S700.000.000 in value The trade
lanes are again safe and wheat and
other foodstuffs are now being shipped
from Galveston. That means that
England and her allies will be able to
get supplies while Germany will be
blockaded It Is true that Germany
has & large supply of food conserved
but that can last such an immense
army only a short time and then there
will be actual suffering both In the
army and In civil life. In the mean-
time. England will be feeding the al-
lies through her great merchant ma-
rine while her navy patrols the seas
to prevent the German warships from
interfering with commerce. Unless
Germany strikes quickly and decisive-
ly I cannot see how that country can
ever win against such odds."

LEE TAKES ISSUE AVmi WALKER.
Editor El Paso Herald:
Please give space to the following
correction of statements in your paper
of yesterday In an interview with
Henry it Walker regarding the action
J of the Central Labor union last Mon
day nignt. Mr. waiter was expeuea
by me on the following charges:
1. Ineligibility under section I CL
TJ. laws which laws Mr. Walker made
himself which reads "to be eligible as
a delegate to the CLU. the member
must be actively employed at his trade
a portion of his time as a wage earner
and in good standing with his union
this shall not debar the publisher of
the 'official labor paper" so long as the
paper carries the union label is the
official organ of this body and he is
an active member in good standing In
his organisation."
J-iy contention is that Mr. u alKer is
not a wage earner any portion of his
time that he does not publish the offi-
cial paper of the C I U- for that body
has no official paper and furthermore
section I of the by-laws state that the
central body shall be composed of repre-
sentatives from such labor unions as
are chartered directly by the A. F. of
L. or international unions affiliated
with the A. F. of U
Hts paper Is his own individual
property and is not chartered by any
labor organisation.
2. For violation of section 25. C. L.
U. laws which read: "Any delegate
delegates or committee who may solicit
any funds from any individuals or or-
ganizations of any character whatever
using the name of the C L. U for any
purpose whatsoever without first being
authorized in writing by this body and
the same to be attested by the signa-
ture and seal of the president and sec-
retary treasurer shall be considered
guilty of conduct unbecoming a member
of this body and stand expelled without
further notice."
It is known that dnrtag the past few
weeks an ad solicitor has been making
contracts with local business men for
special advertising in a special Labor
Day edition of the above paper leav-
ing the Impression that the paper is
being published under the auspices of.
and for the benefit of organized labor
which was and Is absolutely false.
Mr. Walker has been given no such
authority in writing or otherwise. The
minutes- of the C L. V show that the
endorsement was withdrawn from the
Texas Union last October on motion
made by Mr. Tufano. and show further i
k.. .. -.I.. . Mi. 1 '
in" tuc luLunics nciv unanimously
adopted at the following meeting.
As to the ruling by Mr. Manning I
will say that Mr. Manning was never
legally president of the C. L. V. At the
last meeting In last October Mr. Fer-
guson stated that If he was unable to
get the building trades unions to re-
turn to the C. L. IT. within 30 days he
would resign at the next meeting. Mr.
Ferguson was out of town and Mr.
Walker and his friends took advantage
of Mr. Ferguson's absence and accepted
his'resignatlon which had never been
made and elected Mr. Manning in his
place. The election was absolutely
Illegal and I objected to it at that
time.
When Mr. Ferguson returned he let
the matter go as It was rather than
bave any unpleasant newspaper pub-
licity which would have done organized
labor no good. I

simply could not do any work with
them about and nothing must do but
that Poly take them out for a ride in
the little wheelbarrow.
They had been given their bath and
were as clean as could be and after
she had kissed them the puppy girl
tacked them in the wheelbarrow and
saw them safely started down the road.
Poly pushing them.
"I won"t let them out of m;- sight

self and he really meant it. but how
was he to tell what was going to hap

Toby turned and looked through the
fence himself And then he wanted
to see He looked around wbo would
take the pups for him? Ah here came
Roly down the road He. waited and
she stopped by the wheelbarrow.
"Where is Poly and what are you do-
ing. Toby Hicks'"' she asked.
Toby shuffled his feet and twisted
his cap in his paws. ' Oh. he just left
for a minute and went up to see Tom
Tabby. I'm looking after the pups

house where klttv girls and boys al
ways seemed to be having a better time
than any where else he weakened. He
leaned up against the fence and stuck
his sharp little nose through the pail-
ings. There under the porch near the
kitchen door were Tommy and Ted
and Binkie the three kitty boys. They
had small shovels and a spade and
bucket and were working over some-
thing. He strained his eyes but could
not see what it was if be only could
get there and get back before the paps
got restless he looked at them. They
had been very quiet but began to beg
to be allowed on the ground. They did
not like to remain standing still.
Poly sighed. It was useless to at-
tempt to leave them now. He picked
up the handles to the wheelbarrow and
started up the walk "Don't bring
those pups up here" shouted Tom.
"They will spoil everything." He waved
Poly back. "You may come but the
pups can't." added Ted. and there was
nothing left for Poly to do bat stay
outside of that wonderful yard or leave
the pups behind.
Just as he was trying to make up
his mind Toby Hicks came along.
"Say. just mind the paps tor one
minute. That's a good chap." begged
Poly. "Just until I go up and see Tom
Tabby. Til be right back." Toby
stood first on one foot and then on
the other. "Well." he said finally

house as he hurried away.
Roly grunted. "He's a fine nurse."
looked at the little crowd gathered at
the back door of the Tabby house and
then took the wheelbarrow ' handles
herself. "All that fuss over a hole in
the ground with water and a stick and
a paper bucket a play well." she
growled. With that she turned the
wheelbarrow about and took it off with
her pups and alL Tni give that Poly
the proper punishment." She had
hardly disappeared when Poly came
running down the path.
He had seen the well he rushed out.
looked wildly up and down and he
then began his search for the pups.
Even the wheelbarrow had vanished.
Loudly he barked and called vainly

When Roly thought he had been pun-
ished enough she brought them home.
and met him on the. road still running
back and forth. When he. saw them
with her he was so ashamed and sorrv
that he hung his head and went In the
other direction. He couldn't bear to
face Roly. But he never left the pups
to the care of anyone else again.

Ago Today
ONE hundred years ago today the
State Feadbles a volunteer corps
raised fat Philadelphia marched
from that city to the rendezvous at
Kennett" s square. When it was learned
that the British had descended on
Washington great alarm was felt in
every city along the Atlantic seaboard.
and ever where hasty measures were
being taken for defence. The sending
oat of the state Fencibles was one of ths
steps taken by Philadelphia in prepara-
tion to resist an attack by the enemy.
The corps was organised by Capr Clem-
ent ' Biddle. a son of the Clement
Biddle who is known in history as "the
Quaker soldier " In bis youth Capt.
Biddle served for a term in the naTi.
As captain of the State Fencibles he
