A HERO.
Rayford Foster McMillan undertook
Thursday to show their hired
man how to cut down a tree. He succeeded
retty well with one limb but
struck trouble with the main trunk
of the tree, for the axe which was
new and sharp, glanced to one side
and cut a deep gash in one of the
young man's feet. Three stitches
were required to make him as good as
new again. He is a hero on his side
of town.

ALLIANCE WITH JAPAN.
Russian Minister Hints at Closer Relations
Between Countries.
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

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.

and one teaspoonful of baking powder
sifted with enough flour to permit

cut out in any desired shape. Wet
the edges, place a teaspoonful of fig
filling on one side of the shape, turn
over the other half, press edges together
and bake about 10 minutes in
a hot oven. 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.

M. Neratoff's assailart, 1

HONOR THE DEAD. 5
"The Black Watch are fighting so 1
well in France that even the Gtimans c
praise them. Wonderful fighters, ;

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.
" 'Shame on ye!' Bridget cried, 'A

little, hard-drinkin' cockroach like

" 'Whist,' said Pat from the basin
roftly, 'don't speak evil of. the dead."
STRATEGY OF TODAY
NOT LIKE LONG AGO
<
Budapest, July 20.? (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

LIGHTNING THE FARM
WOMAN'S WORK
We can greatly lessen the work in
the house by doing away with the unnecessary
part of it. For example,
where there z.re no modern conveniences
in the home, and where the
water has to be brought from a well,
lave you eve:* taken the trouble to
measure the distance from the well
to the kitchen, and multiply that by
two, and that by the number of days
;n the year? You would probably
ae mazed at ttie numoer 01 mnes sne
las traveled in the year, just to bring
water to the }iouse. You will then
probably seriously consider whether
pou had not letter put in a water
system in the house, as well as for
ihe live stock.
Is the housu so planned that she
:an do the wcrk which the wife or
some one else must do, with the mminum
of steps, the minimum of stoop-j
ng, and the minimum of lifting? Is
t not possible to ruri the washing
nachine by so:ne kind of pow?r; or!
s it possible to form a co-operative
aundry in connection with your
ireamery? If the farmer is so sitlated
that he can have electricity,
vhy not an electric washing machine,
in electric flat-iron, and a vacuum
sweeper?
I konw as well as a man can how
vearying is some women's work. I

jven drudgery is better than no work
it all, and no home. No amount of
:are of children in sickness and in
lealth, compares with the desolation
>f the childless home. I saw one
:hildless woman the past summer,
vho, to put in her time, not only kept
ler house so immaculately clean
;hat it was uncomfortable, but actuilly
swept the street in front oJ' her
louse every morning in the year!
Work is often wearisome, but the
