The former feeling of apprehension, of "something Is going to happen" be cause of the "European - war," has al most entirely disappeared, according to a special report submitted today by the committee on statistics and standards of tha Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Even with the possibility that the United States might become entangled In the gigantic world conflict, there still remains a pronounced belief that, notwithstanding such untoward condi tions, business Is bound to show dis tinct advancement. Caandeaee Growing Steadily. Confidence in the future, according to tho committee, of which A. W. Doug las, of St. Louis, is chairman, has grown apace with the steady progress of the crops and the slow but continual Improvement in Industrial affairs. There still continue, however, to be conservatism and caution in buying and in new commitments. The reason seems to be tnat It is better business to wait until tho results of the crops are known beyond question before ventur ing a more extended way, - and as a consequence stocks of merchandise throughout the country continue light The continued wet weather has done more good than harm to the crops, it la said. Metal Mlaers Are Baay. The' conditions of mining vary sharply as to the commodity mined. Copper mines are running full time and new ones are opening up. Zinc and lead mines are busy and the min ing of Iron ores is improving. Coal mining Is everywhere dull, largely because of alack demand from the railroads and the slow buainesa in manufacturing.

Curse or Ill-Health and Early Death, Instead of 50,000 Years of Lire, Related by Tablet. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 8. (Special.) Eve did not eat the apple. She did not give Adam any to eat and thus bring about the fall of man from a state of innocence. It was Noah who fell. He was or dered not to eat of the cassia tree In the Garden of Paradise, but he did, and then the curse came upon him. The curse was that he should have ill health and an early death Instead of living to be 50,000 years old, like his ancestors. These statements are according to the Sumerlan theology, and are found in a tablet written before-the days of Abraham. The tablet Is now In the University Museum, Philadelphia. A hint of this was given more than a year ago, when Dr. Steven Langdon, professor of Assyrology at Oxford, an nounced that he had translated a part of a ta"blet which he had copied while in the University Museum -of this city. Since then, he has compared the tab let with every other known tablet and historical account Including the book of Genesis." Dr. Langdon says this tablet is at least 1000 years older than' the account in Genesis. WAR QUARREL RUMORED Von Tlrpitz and Bethmann-Hollweg Said to Have Fallen Out. PARIS, Aug. 8. (Special.)

DEFENDERS LIYE IN DARKNESS Bottles of Chemicals to Com bat Poison Gas at Hand. ENEMY, -TOO, IS HIDDEN Correspondent Describes Visit to Advanced Lines, Where Soldiers Long for Moment to Leap Up and Ont Into Light. BY RALPH PULITZER. (Special cable dispatch to the New Torlc World. Copyright. 1915. by the Prea Publishing Company. Published by ar rangement with the JrId. ) FIELD HEADQUARTERS OF THE FRENCH ARMY, via Paris, Aug. 3. On the anniversary of the last day of the world's peace, the S65th day of the war, 1 stood in the darkness of a very advanced front trench. A short section where I stood was roofed and bomb-proofed. Through a row of narrow rifle slits came little beams of daylight that rested In flecks on the white, chalky back of tha trenches and were thrown up faintly against the logs of the trench roof. Dimly. I could gradually make out a narrow plank standing platform run ning along below the silts. A card was tacked to the wooden frame of each opening bearing the name of the par ticular soldier to whom that opening belonged. Above' each slit hung (or could hang) Its owner's rifle in nlins from the roof. Gas Antidote Kept at Hand. Every few yards, set In little recesses dug out from the back of the trench, stood fat bottles. They contained chemicals with which to soak the sol diers' mouth-coverings if attacked, by poisoned gas. The trench was nearly empty of men. But at tho loophole nearest me stood the rigid figure of a soldier. His legs were invisible In the darkness. His body showed up vaguely. His face was brilliantly lighted by the thin blade ot light through the rifle slit. He stood silent and motionless, his eyes Intently focused out Into the sunlight. No Living Thing Visible. I looked through the next slit, through a spider's web of barbed wire, between stunted black posts, across 200 yards of green grass and wild flowers, at another' tangle of posts and barbed wire with a narrow furrow of white chalky soil running along Just behind it the German trenches. Not a living thing was in sight in the sunny loneliness. There was silence except for the crack, crack, crack ot striking bullets from inaudible German rifles. I looked back at the face of the "guetteur." the watcher. His eyes, fixed on the narrow white- line, were puckered with lntentness. but his Hps were parted In an easy, good-humored smile, brightening a face young, clean cut, alert, calm and very patient. New France I Symbolised. He seemed to symbolize the spirit of th nw France, the France of endur ance, of determination, of buoyancy, of patience, the stoic France that can keeu .n.nt nrt motionless, the France that can stand in the darkness undismayed, watching and waiting till the moment comes to' leap up and out into the light. Thrmiirh nowerful glasses the onicer chnwi me little nuffs of smoke float ing up from the sunny, silent, peace ful landscape. They were from the ex ploding shells. To the right I saw high clouds of smoke rising lazily into the air out of some woods. It was a house in the German lines fired by French shells. Though the little puffs of smoke were only here and there on the land scape, everywhere I could see through the glasses the microscopic figures of peasants working busily in their fields, bringing in the harvest. Many were soldiers helping out, but many were old men, boys and women. Again the scene seemed symbolical." Behind the soldier watching in the bombproof were the innumerable tiny plodding figures, undaunted by the abrupt little puffs of smoke, doing their patient share toward bringing in the harvest. Trip Especially Arranged. ' The trip, which I was taking to the trench front, had been most kindly arranged for me by the French gov ernment S3 a special trip for my par ticular benefit. It had the advantage of enabling us to go into portions of the advanced trenches, where the larger parties could not go for fear of pre cipitating shelling by the Germans. We had not gone rar when I heard a sound like a boy cracking a toy whip: "A bullet striking near us," ex plained an officer ahead of me. I found .it almost impossible to tell the difference between the- report of the French guns and the explosions of German shells. An officer told me that their time table nickname for French gun reports was "departs" (departures), while that for the Ger man shell explosions was "arrives" (arrivals). - Of course, if either gun or shell ex plosion or both should be very near to you you can easily tell the difference, if ' there la enough of you left to tell anything. . , We walked on wun cne toy ni (Concluded oa Pase 2, Column 3.)
