One of the mo?< Impressive hit? of war news received for some time Isl en Item from Rome, Italy, to the effect that tho railroad employees of Rome have refused to accept payment for nil itho extra work imposed on them in Hie mobilisation or the Italian ? nay. "We would feel humiliated," they declared In a publie statement, "if we xv re not willing to give our toil while others give their lives ?o their coun try." In comparison with this pure pat palriotisui how sordid seems thu spir it of the workmen In some of the other belligerent countries! The j world knows how near (ireut Hrl nln (ame to ruin through the deliberate refusal of Kngllsh factory workers and Welsh miners to perform work essen Hal to the national campaign, unless thulr hours were shortened: and their wages raised. Even Ger many narrowly avoided a labor revolt! at tho Krupp munition factory. It remained for the Italian?, towurd whom nativo Americans ure inclined to bo HuperolliouB, to show the est| u noble example. In Italy, it appear;-, nobody I? try ing to make money out of thc war. j nightly or wrongly. Haly 1? really' fighting for an ideal; rich und poor, learned and ignorant, are united In spirit. In only one other country *rj there apparent ?ucli unaclflahnesu and un animity. That i? In France. The ? world ha? still much to leura from the Latins. CIVIC PRIDE. "DonU Judge the town by tho sta tion. We built tho town; the rail road company built the station." Thu? read? a signboard in tho town of Baldwin, Long Island N. Y. It Isn't original. Baldwin borrowed the Idea from the WeeU where towns and their ambitions have a way of putting to ?hame thc makeshift structures provided by tho struggling railroads. lt's a good sign, nevertheless, nnd it ?hows how tho wholesome boom oplrlt of tho Weat hah begun to work In the less demonstrative East. The last few years have seen a remakablo growth of municipal enthusiasm throughout 4t?^ eastern States and In many parts pl th? South. It doesn't quite attain the reckless western op tlsm represented by a certain Wyom ing community consisting of six shacks and a store, set off by a tow ering billboard Inscribed, VBKST TOWN ON EARTH." But .t's In har mony with lt. And It means in Long Island, Just as I? does in Texas or North Dakota ov California, finer buildings, cleaner streets. butter water, a lowor death rate and a higher standard of culture. ?THE GR#AT AMEJM^ANFAMILY." Must of ''thu American governments Intorosted In the pacification of Mexi co took no notice of an insulting message from Carranza protesting against their sitting m ?Judgment; on lils country. Argentina, however, sent a courteous reply. "Tho Argentinian government," read thc note, 'Un havli.g a represen tative nt that conference, has done so not only lu accordance with Its tra ditional policy of rcHpoc' to other sovereignties, but also to reaffirm it In tho caso of a tffbbicm''whlkh, by a fleeing the destinies of Mexico, will equally affect tho great American family." That statement, when-' yfc/u ?et . to tho kernot of it, represents precisely the spirit In which the United States and all thc Latin-Amelie.in republics havo sone tow Ors on the task of sav ing Mexico. Wu have no designs Against Mexican government Our Justification for interfering tu any way In Mexican affairs ls that the various American republics constitute one famUy, and that anything which tends to In juro Mexico and keep her from playing her part in the life of thc western hemisphere "affects equally the Great American family." Were it not for our patience toward Mexico and our ability to keep Euro pean powers from interfering, there would have been an alien disciplinary invasion long ago. England or Ger many would have sent mn army to re store order, as France did during our 'civil war. But Just because lt ts u family affair, we have BO far kept everybody away and tried to solve, the problem amicably. If the Mexican people could once get that idea into their heads, their salvation would be far easter. KO RUSSIAN FATE FOR 178. There le at least one phase of the munitions traffic that no American ls likely to condemn. Whether the wholesale manufacture and export of arms and ammunition ls right or wrong, whether R's going to be economically good or !>ad for UH In thc long run, the sudden development! of this Industry has proved the Unit ed States with the best form of In surance against foreign peril. An Inquiry from tho government re garding the status of private inunttlou factories has brought the reply that tiiey have already multiplied their capacity by 1,000 per cent, that their output is steudlly increasing and that they will be prepared at any time to place 'heir plants at the disposal of Hie government. lu ammunition, at least, it will be easy for the army and navy to obtain what additional supplies they need for any emergency, with little delay. It is ithe same with regard to rifles, machine guns. etc. Tho manufacture of field guns is a slower process, und our need of them to round out a prop er artliery equipment for a good-ste ed army ls very great. Still, wo aro immensely better prepared to produce it than ever before. This is the most vital part of our prohlem of military preparedness is taken care.of almost by accident. There rcuiisinu, of course, the bis problem of creating an anny organ ization capable* of easy and rapid ex pansion to a million or more, '(brough the Incorpuruitou of trained milita men and fresh volunteers. Hut given the system and the requisite olliccrd, lt ls easy enough lo raise thc men, and doesn't take long to train them. That has been demonstrated in every warring country of Europe, and Amer icana can be whipped into shape quicker than any others. The hard est ta; '.c of all ls to supply the anny willi weapons and ammunition. Eng land, after a year's work, is still un able to do. t hat. Russia has lost Gali cia and Poland because she lacked munition factories. It is gratifying to know that whatever comes, we shall suffer from nc such handicaps. A LINE o' DOPE No, that was not the real Charlie Chaplin that was walking around on the streets of Anderson yesterday af ternoon, as some of the little boys in the city seemed ito think. It was only a walking advertisement of this fa mous film comedian, put on by Man ager Trowbridge of The Anderson. He was Indeed a very good likeness and you cannot much blnme the boys who did mistake him for thc real Charlie Manager Trowbridge stated that this was a good advertisement. Ain gist rate 8. E.

Up to tho present the worm has only attacked thc alfalfa fields and ?tendor pasture grasses, and has not yet damaged the cotton, In fact as far aa is known has not raided the cot ton fields. This worm ls called tho Army Worm, because when In the cat Iplllar state they are tremendously abundant and travel in drover. Its preference ls for vetch, alfalfa and tender grass. This species of worm will. breed four generations in a sea son, but on account of the late sea son of the year, it ls probable that ithe worms now seen would not breed more than once more during tho present year. o ? ?

CROWDS'VIEWED FRANK'S BODY IN ATLANTA MORGUE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) nled and appeals and subsequent ap peals to state and United States su preme courts were refused. His life waa saved by Gov. Siaton until last night when a mob sought and was successful in putting him to death. JW > Hob From Marlettal Mllledgo.uiv, ua., ?ug. 17-The elief is prevalent here that the small crowd forcibly entered the prison farm and took Leo M. Frank carno from Marietta and vicinity. After the lynching tile crowd dispersed. No trace of thurn bas yet been found, al though officials v.are searching the country. Milledgevllle, Ga., Aug. 17.-Five men went to tho house o? J. T. Smith warden, covered him with pistols and stood guard over him. Other men went to the house of J. M. Burke, superintendent of the prison, und held him under cover of their guns. Practically every other member of the mob then rushed to the stockade gate nearest the dormitory where Fr ank was being housed. Only yes terday, did the physicians discharge him from the hospital, where he had been since being murderously assault ed in the dormitory. AH on the night Frank wa" nttac'-?*,! only two guards were on duty. Tho mon quickly overpowered Cn let Nlg.a Guard Hester, and the other man on duty, proceeded to the dormitory and within a few minutes seized Frank and rushed him back to their automobiles. Those who had been holding . Smith and Burke lett as soon afc Frank was brought out and joined their fellows. Tae automobiles w??re then stsrted in The direction of Eatonton. Nothing more had been heard Chem hourn, after they left. Only ono member of that part of the mob that went to the dormitory talked. He gave the commands to guards which were hacked up by the arms of thc other members of tuc mob. A prisoner who WPS scening In the dormitory is responsible for the state ment that this spokesman said lao mob Intended -to take Frank to Marietta nad that this morning his body would bc found on the grave of Mary Phagan, for whose murder the prisoner was serving a life sen tence. No person could be found her3 last night who knew from which direction thc mob came. This would hardly have been th,, caso at nnV time for tho first few weeks after -Frank was taken to the state prison farm. Ru mors of plans to tuke Frank out of tho prison were heard almost dally then and not only wore roads pro tected but a larg 3 force of guards was kept on duty at tho prison.. One persistent report that a - crowd was coming from Marietta resulted in the local company of militia being held in readiness to guard the prisoner. Such reports had not been heard In the past few weeks and fewer pre cautions were taken. Last night only tho usual number of guards were ar the dormitory. War and Necessity. Assuming an air ot sage importance and fat plumber ejaculated: "Was ls a necessity." "Pooh! How do you make that out?" demanded the thin carpenter, depreciatingly, according . to The Youngstown Telegram. "Did you read that Edison bi going to devoto his energies io American protective measures In time Of war?" "Pop. What of lt?" "That proves my contention."

Petrograd, Aug. 14. - (Associated PresB Correspondence.)-The opening days session of the Duma began al one o'clock in the afternoon and con tinued until midnight without speak ers representan gall parties having found time to address the house. All the Cabinet Ministers remained throughout the session and listened to a series of opinions moro outspoken than any ever before expressed in tho Durna. The criticism which was levvled against the government waa entirely in respect to alleged inade quate arrangements In various direc tions for the presocution ot thc war. The late Minister ot War In particular was criticised. ., "Trust the people'.' was..the burilen of most of the speeches. Anny sup plies and munitions wem tho parti cular basis for attacks, upon, old-fash ion ::d methods and old-fashioned abuses, and the. Durna.; claimed its right to take a part in'the'executive business of the.country, and to hold tho ministers responsible to lt foi the conduct of their offices. * . Withal, there was evident an amia ble feeling of good-natured fellow shin between tho Durna and the Minis ters, which has never been apparent before. Therd was an absence of stiffness between Government and Legislature, and at the same tune a hew and finer dignity. While the ministers were still mak ing their addresses, there was an In cident which showed the tone of the assembly. After the Minister ot War, General Polivanoff, had spoken, M, Fodzlano president ot the Duma, bad called upon The members to stand ta silence, with all -the public and au dience present, in memory ot those fallen on the field of battle.., Af tor the naval minister's speech, M. Rod slanko apparently forgot this formula, or supposed he had included all the fallen, whbther by land or sea. In the former observance. As the next speak ? ey mounted Che platform, cries, at Drat subdued, then gradually strong, rose from several parts of the house, and M. Rodslanko hastened to make gofltf ids inadvertent omission by calling on the members to honor the memory ct the Russian naval dead. Poer Women. "Men don't half appreciate the aac rlfices women make for them,1* she complained, according to The New York American. What sacrifice have you ever made for me?" he asked. . "You used to call a taxi whenever yon wanted to take me anywhere, but yon couldn't be satisfied until yon married me. Now voa t,t*v<\ te tas? me Ia ?bythlng better than ? street oar." .

"One old girl, who had been duly Introduced and deposited wKh me fer Ute purpose of speculating in stocks, malled me the following note, which, however, I wont go so far as to say ls characteristic of all women dabbling in the markot: ".Please buy for my account 1,000 ffebare* of F. & V. at 75.
