Trade competition never leads to war,
but the protective methods adopted by
nations do. Modern wars are caused by
the short-sighted illusions of nations
who seek to monopolize the trade of
undeveloped countries by levying pro-
tective tariffs, blocking trade routes,
and other artificial means, so speaks
G. Lowes Dickinson, the noted British
political economist, who goes on to
point out the futility of a colonial em-
pire as a mens of trade expansion by
stating that the bulk of English com-
merce is with foreign nations which
maintained the “open door.” The elimi-
nation of artificial restraints upon the
trade of undeveloped' regions would re-
move. one of the most potent factors
making for war, he thinks, a proposi-

Denton, Tex., June 12.—A novel fea-
■ ture of the summer session work at the
College of Industrial Arts is a short
course in practical cookery and culinary
management for a large family. This
course is planned to meet the needs of
the housekeepers with whom students

only help directly the housewife in her
many perplexities of planning suitable
diets for the girls under her charge,
but will probably, through the enlight-
enment of the housewife on problems
relating to the proper cooking and suit-
able combinations of foods, direetl

indirectly the college in maintaining a

the Russian rear. Among the prison-
ers were many German-speaking of-
ficers and a thousand German soldiers
who had been incorporated in the Aus-
trian regiments.’
There was still no official report of
the Austrian losses, but the estimates
here which are considered conservative
place them .at 200,000.
SUNDAY’S WAR REPORT. •
Sunday’s official Russian war state-
ment follows:
“Our offensive in Volhynia, Galicia
and Bukowina obtained fresh successes
yesterday. The enemy armies continue
to suffer enormous losses in prisoners
alone.
“The fierce attacks of pur troops are
throwing into our hands throusands
upon thousands of prisoners and booty
of all kinds, the exact estimation of
which is as yet impossible.
“For instance, in a single sector on
the enemy front we captured 21 search-
lights, two convoys, 29 field kitchens, 47
trains of machine guns, 12,000 poods of
barbed wir. (a pood is equivalent to 36
pounds), 1,000 concrete planks, 7,000,000
cubes of concrete, 10,000 poods of coal,

.“Then, monsieur, take me with you!
No, listen; you must; you shall not re-
fuse. I know the way, the woods, and
all their secrets. I can guide you, and
travel faster than your Kentucky
hunter. Let me go, monsieur.”
I hesitated just a moment, actually
tempted by this opportunity to have
her with me, to learn more of who and
“Mein Gott,” he moaned, rolling his
eyes up at me imploringly. "I vos mos’

"That will be all right, Schultz,” I
said kindly. "I’ll help you ashore, and
well. Non, non, eet not I who told
heem; eet was the voyageurs with
room at the stern. There was a flash
of paddles in the dark water, and, al-
most noiselessly, we swept out into the
stream. For the space of a mile, per-
haps, we skirted the clearing, the river
a stream of silver under the stars, the
land on either side, disfigured by
blackened tree stumps, making a deso-
late picture. Then the canoe slipped
silently into the forest waterway, the
dense woods on either bank obscuring
the stars, and plunging us into dark-
ness. Brady bent over the sharp bow,
his eyes watchful for any obstacle, for
any swirl of the current, and I could
faintly distinguish his voice in low-
spoken warning to the Indian paddlers.
We were hemmed in by wilderness,
the narrow stream bordered by great
forest trees, with branches over-hang-
ing the current, and huge roots pro-
jecting from the mossy banks.
There was little or no underbrush;
indeed, as the light grew stronger, the
vista stretched far away between the
gnarled trunks of oak and hickory to
where the land rose in low bluff. It
was a somber scene of gray and green
coloring, save that here and there were
clusters of wild flowers yielding a
brighter hue of blue and yellow to the
dull background. The silence was pro-
found, the river noiseless, except as
the weters occasionally foamed over
some obstacle in their path, or mur-
mured softly about the sharp prow of
the canoe. High up above the early
morning air fluttered the leaves, yet so
gently that no sound of rustling
reached me. The woods themselves
were desolate, apparently uninhabited,
without even a fleeting wild animal to
break their loneliness.
I sat up, rubbing my cramped limbs,
and stared about down the forest
“In another sector we captured 30,-
000 rifle cartridges, 300 boxes of ma-
chine gun cartridges, 200 boxes of hand
grenades, 1,000 rifles, four machhine
guns, two range-finders, and a Norton
portable pump for the extraction of
drinking water.
“The capture of such enormous war
materials prepared by' the enemy for
various operations affords proof of how
opportune was our coup.
“During yesterday’s fighting we took
as prisoners one general, 409 officers
and 35,100 soldiers. We also captured
thirty guns, thirteen machine guns and
five bomb-throwers. This makes the
I Face a Request.
I came to a sudden halt, my heart
throbbing wildly. “Most certainly,
mademoiselle,” I stammered in sur-
prise, "although I have little time to
spare.”
“I know,” she returned; “you voy-
age into the north—you, and the great
hunter.”
“You know that? How?”
She smiled,, yet with eyes on mine
in frank confidence.
“Have I not ears, monsieur?” she
asked swiftly. “Did you think me old
and deaf when we met before? Per-
I haps the light was poor, and you saw
ill; if so look at me again, now, mon-
sieur.”
“You mean you overheard?” and I
stepped back, tantalized by her witch-
ery.
“How could I help? It was but a
word now and then, but that Americain
general he talk so loud, like he speak
to an army. I did not catch your
voice, monsieur, not one word. Yet
I knew well what eet was you say: I
know from my own heart, how eet
beat; an’ from your face, so strong, so
like the face of a man. You would
go back to the north, back to my
people.”
To your people!” I echoed incredu-
lously. “Good God! Are you In-
dian?”

The boat was in the dark shadows
of the bank, a sizable canoe, three In-
dians—friendly Delawares—grasping
the paddles and kneeling in the bot-
tom, and two men holding it steady
against the current. One of these, tall
and stralzht would be Brady, but the
other, a mere shadow in the dark, was
unrecognizable.
“You go with us?” I asked.
He straightened up, with the motion
of a salute.
“Yah, der captain he says so, don’t

“Oh, yes, my man; you are the cook.

boys ?”
An Indian voice grunted a response,
holding it up.

The belated admission of the German
admiralty that the battle cruiser Lut-
zow was among the Teuton losses in
the North sea naval battle-, and that
news of its destruction was withheld
for “military reasons,” lends a cast of
obliquity to the entire German account
of this great conflict. The official re-
ports of the German army have come
to be recognized as among the most
accurate of the belligerent war reports.
Consequently, when the German ad-
miralty announces the result of the
North sea fight the general public was
inclined to believe it, in spite of the
vague assertions in the British report
that the Germans suffered much heavier
than they had told. Now, the situation
has been just reversed. The general
public is inclined to believe the Ger-
mans have sustained all the losses the
British admiralty says it has. Another

honest policy.,

“Poverty taks away so many means
of doing good and produces so much
inability to resist evil, both natural
and moral, that it is by all virtuous
men to be avoided. Frugality is not only
the means of quiet, but of beneficence.
No man can help others who wants help
himself; we must have enough before
we can have to spare.” This is what
the great Roman statesman-philoso-
pher, Cicero, had to say of the evils of
poverty. Stultefying and undermining
alike physical as well as moral health,
poverty is responsible for the great
majority of crime. Much of the world’s
drunkenness, too, is attributed to pov-
erty, the individual seeking surcease in
the flowing bowl from the miseries of
a pitiable existence.

Fort Worth Record:
Samuel Sullivan McClure, the New
York publisher, is home from Europe,
He found a sentiment for peace only
in Germany and Austria. He visited
all the belligerent nations and did
not find a suggestion of peace except
in Germanic countries where the peo-
ple desired it for commercial reasons
only. Samuel Sullivan assured the in-
terviewer that the Teutons wished
to re-establish relations with other
nations for commercial reasons and not
that they fear defeat. For commer-
cial reasons the Titans of Europe be-
gan the war; for commercial reasons
they may be compelled to terminate
it. The longest purse takes down the

I shook my head, wondering at her
swift questioning.
“The Wyandots.”
“Ah! That then is not so bad. The
chiefs will not know; they will be-
lieve. But ’tis most odd why you will
do all this—this, what you call mas-
querade?”
No more odd surely than your own,
mademoiselle.”
“Why is eet you say that? You ask
the generail about me?”
While there may be a wide diversity
of opinion as to plans among the en-
gineers representing the various inter-
ests having to do with the Galveston
1 bay causeway, there is but one among
I the people of this county, and that is
that there should be an immediate be-
ginning of the work of reconstructing
that viaduct. This latter opinion is not
confined exclusively to the people of
Galveston county, either, if one may
judge from the many letters that have
been received here from all parts of
the country asking when the work of
restoration is to be completed and easy
, access again had to the island by
wheeled vehicles. The people who live
in close proximity to the proposition,
and who are in position to note the
superlative slowness with which the
real work is being dragged, if it can
be called work at all, have a slight
advantage over those abroad, for occa-
sionally, at rare intervals, they are
informed of some new disagreement
that has arisen among the engineers
touching- some point of such tremen-
dous importance it calls for another
fortnight or perhaps a month in which
to digest it. This is denied the wait-
ing one in far-away localities who have
already long postponed a contemplated
visit to this city pending the receipt
of information that the road is again
open to the playground of the South-
west.
Probably the railroad engineers have
what are to them good reasons for
epostponing the acceptance of some plan
of restoration until later along in the
against a delay that even now gives no
evidence of reaching an end in the near
future.
In view of the extreme importance
of the causeway to Galveston, surely
the time-honored precedents founded
on the belief that haste made waste,
and the faster the speed the slower the
progress, might be sidetracked and a
concerted effort made to clear away
the preliminaries and get to the work
of reconstruction. The fact that the
railroad companies have a trestle
bridge, giving them at least partial ac-
commodation, and the county is about
to have a vehicle bridge, should not be
permitted to halt the work of restor-
ing the permanent structure. Enough
time has been wasted in discussion;
the time for action is here.

TRUTHFUL PUBLICITY.
Cleburne Enterprise:
The good is driving out the bad in
publicity. Truth and cleanliness are
stronger than untruth and suggestive
wording. While it is true there is
a sucker born every minute, and frauds
will always find some victims as peo-
ple become more enlightened, and
merchants more imbuded with the va-
Ue of service in business fraudulent
advertising will decrease and cleanli-
ness will increase in publicity. The
merchants will have to see to it that
their own advertising conforms to the
strict letter of truthfulness. The En-
terprise is no paragon, but it has
some ideals and it is perfectly will-
ing to compare its columns with those
of the average newspaper anywhere in
the United States. It is gradually ap-
proaching its ideal, just as merchants
are gradually nearing a more efficient
business system.

Unyielding in its opposition to the
Democratic proposal of government-
owned ships, the Republican party
comes out squarely for the subsidy
method of building up a merchant ma-
rine. Subsidized industries have never
appealed to the American people, who:
feel that an industry which cannot
stand upon its own feet does not de-
sei ve to exist. Yet that is what a protect-
ive tariff amounts to, and the Demo-
crats have been compelled to retain cer-
tain protective features in “their tariff
legislation. Japan, England, Germany
and France, the leading maritime na-
tions, have not hesitated to subsidize
unprofitable shipping lines in the in-
terests of trade expansion.

I remembered him, a private in
Brown’s company, as poor a choice as
could have been made for such an ex-

an exchange.
"In with you, Schultz,” I ordered
sharply, “behind the last Indian, and

He stepped into the bow of the

the propositions that. they hesitate so,
long about coming to, the time of final
action; but whatever the reason back
of the dilatory tactics being pursued,
the people are being made the goat. Not
that they are at all new to the role,
and later they will be invited to par-
ticipate in the payment of the cost
of the structure, something they are
quite ready and willing to do if offered
a quick opportunity.
Most of the people who are not en-
gineers would have been entirely sat-
isfied to have had the causeway re-
stored as it was before the August
flood, provided something more stable
than sand was used for filling between
the retaining walls. They were not
at all averse to a safe structure that
would cost less than the orginal bridge,
but they wanted the causeway and
wanted it not so much as a Christmas
present a decade hence as they did for
the nearest date in which the work
could be reasonably completed. We are
told that it required three hundred
years for the completion of the pyra-
mids of Egypt, but we are not living
in Egypt, we are not buildingpyramids,
and time means something to a live,
alert, up-to-date American community.
It was not more than twenty-four
hours after it became known that the
causeway had been almost destroyed
before the .people made it plain that
they considered the restoration of that
structure of importance second only to
the rehabilitation of their homes, and
had all the interests responsible for
the building and maintenance of the
viaduct been even fractionally as ear-

The question of tax rates cuts no
figure in the last analysis,” he said.
“What the taxpayer wants to know

what does he pay for * * * Ii is not so
much a question of what the rate was

they would have disapproved, if they

succeed in holding what they already
have gained, the Austrian plans for the
summer campaign have doubtless been
effectively smashed.
Scenes of excitement in the trenches
and villages where the reserves were
stationed when the word of the pro-
posed advance came on Saturday, June
3, are told of by a captain of a Si-
berian regiment. Where possible, re-
ligious services were held.

"Next day,” he continued, “after a
tremendous bombardment, the first sec-
ond and even the third lines of Aus-
tiian trenches were easily taken. Our
losses were light. But in the strong-
est positions in the rear the enemy
made a desperate stand with machine
guns, bombs and prepared mines. Here
we suffered most heavily, it was nec-
essary to storm these positions. This
our men did with splendid courage and
determination.
“As soon as we came within reach
with the bayonet the Austrians gave
up, whole companies throwing down
their arms. They appeared to have
no., heart for bayonet work.

Petrograd, June 12— The similarity
between General Brusilof's advance in
the past week and the Russian drive
against the Austrians at the beginning
of the war is generally commented up-
on here. One difference, however, is
pointed out—that General Brusiloff's
initial-blow has been considerably more
effective and the retreat of the Aus-
trians before it more precipitate than
during the initial events of 1914.
The net result of the week’s opera-
tions has surpassed the expectations
of the most ardent believers in the
southern leader’s ability. With up-
ward of 72,000 prisoners .(the latest of-
ficial statements now'place the num-
ber' of prisoners at about 108,000) and
immense booty, and with the communi-
cations between the Austrian armies
around Czartorysk and Rafalowka and
those in the neighborhaad of Czerno-
witz seriously threatened, there is im-
mense rejoicing among the military
and civilian population.
