London, Aug. 2.?Foreign Minister Basonoff's speech at the opening of the Russian duma yesterday, as received here tonight, hinted at a closer alliance between Japan and Russia. The final section of the speech, as telegraphed, quoted the minister as saying the press of both countries has been discussing the advantage of a close political union j ] and that the service of Japan had "created an atmosphere in which solid political ties between nations are formed." "Ten years have gone by," the j, minister said, "since the treaty of . Portsmouth proved that peaceful ^ reighborliness between Russia and Japan was posible and reciprocally advantageous. Our relations of alliance with Japan today should be forerunners of still closer alliance." The statement was received by members of the duma with cheers. GERMANS IN BELGIUM REPORTED IN MUTINY ( Havre, France,.Aug. 7.?Mutinies have broken out in the German garri- ' sons at Liege, Ghent and Bruges, ' says a dispatch to the Belgian gov- j ernment to-day, and many ringleadera have been shot. ( In some instances troops refused lo obey orders when their officers tried to send them to the front. GREATEST OF ENGLISHMEN. Looks as if Lloyd-George is to be Na> tional Hero. Most of the great nations involved :n the war long ago discovereo their great heroes. Joffre is the pre-eminent hero of France; the Grand Duke Nicholas, in spite of the defeats with which his armies have met, is said to be the hero of Russia. In Germany von Hindenburg and next to him von . Mackensen are the idols of the populace. As yet in Austria no one man stands out, far over-topping all others; and it is a notable circumstance that so far the same thing is true of Great Britain, there seems to be a J change in process. She is to all appearances discovering her ido , and, , if one may judge from the signs, he will not be Kitchener, he will not be 1 Sir John French, he will not be Asquith, or Inan Hamilton, or Jellicoe (r Beatty. It looks as if he is going to be Lloyd-George. . "The little Welch lawyer," that storm centre of British politics for many years before the war, has many . implacable foes. These he earned through his radicalism and they will , not soon cease to fear and to hate ^ him. But their distrust and enmity , cannot long make head against Lloyd George's services to his country in this time of her dire peril if his future services fulfill the promise of those he has already redeemed. It is a difficult path that stretches ahead of him. At any time he may come a cropper which will be fatal; but at present he looks to be the most promising candidate for the position of British war idol; and this moment of his triumph, when apparently his 1 tffotts and his influence have ended the great strike of the Welch coal miners, which threatened to hamj.'tring the I^riti=h fleet by cutting : phort its Lupply of coal, is on time tor pessimistic prophecy concerning his future. Much he owes to his brains, and much also to good fortune; for fate has so arranged the drama that his role is of a spectacular sort that appeals to the imagination. Perhaps in the end it will be the verdict of history that the services of Kitchener, who now is considered to have failed where LloydGeorge has succeeded, were no less great and of no smaller value than ihose of the latter; but at present it is Lloyd-George's star that burns brightest in the sky of popular approval.?News and Courier. Mooi "BEWEVl AMt> A PLATE ^HE?T6 [Of tmSHl ^ KAISER REFUSES TO ] YIELD IN FRYE CASE Washington, Aug. 2.? Germany will not accede to the request of the United States by keeping the Frye 1 case out of a prize court. This it was 1 learned on high authority this after- ' noon, in substance is what the latest 1 communication to the United States from Germany says. The note, which ' was sent in sections, was all in the ' State Department's hands this afternoon. Germany reaffirms her position that she is compelled to submit the case to a prize court, it was learned. The claim of the United States that under an old treaty with Prussia the case should be settled without court proceedings is denied. State Department officials do not regard the note as bringing on a critical situation. It was believed the United States would make further representations in an effort to keep the case from a prize court. FIG FANCIES.

To make the filling, add to two cupfuls of figs, chopped fine, one cupful white sugar and onehalf cupful water. Boil thirty minutes, cool and use.?Yorkville Enquirer. \TTEMPTED TO KILL RUSSIAN MINISTER v London, Aag. 8.?An attempt to : ssassmate M. j\eraroir, assistant t Russian minister of foreign affairs, is i reported by Reuter's Petrograd correspondent.

Wonderful fighters, ; !he Irish!" The speaker was W. B. Cochran. 1 He continued: "When I think of the valor of the 1 Black Watch regiment, I recall the c tory of Pat McCann. "Pat came home one night with a 1 black eye, a broken nose and a split v ip; a front tooth was gone as well. * "Tim Sullivan done it,' he told his f ivife. as he beeran to bathe his wounds 1 in a basin of water.

(Correspon- 1 dence)?A Budapest newspaper publishes an interview with General on Buelow in which he discusses the :lifference between the presen, campaign in Russia and that of Napol- ' e-on in 1812. "It has been remarked," said the general, "that the present strategy of ( he Russians is the same as that which proved effective against Napol- ! c on. Such strategy was effective then ^ !iut not now when means of com- . municauon nave ueen so mucn lrnproved. The bread which our soldiers eat today in Windau was Laked in Breslau yesterday. "In times when a railway is being < built a mile behind the advancing 1 'orces, when thousands of motor lor r:es are close behind us; when asphalt . >oads grow, as it were, out of the tarth, no such strategy is effective. We drink German mineral water and eat fresh meat direct from Berlin and can build a road, if necessary, 50 .niles long in one day." i re and Moore Jt ONE Oli TSE~] MP SOME Aft mjeftl] I CAgE 'WITH Mil LIGHTNING THE FARM WOMAN'S WORK We can greatly lessen the work in the house by doing away with the unnecessary part of it.
