BRITISH LOVE FOR FIGHT IS ANALYZED Sidney Dark Describes Differ . ent Attitudes of English, I . Irish and Dour Scot. PIETY FEARSOME QUALITY Rollicking Cockney Declared Uncon scions of Patriotism, but TJn vrilling to " Be , Left Out of ( "Sport" When. Battle Is On. LONDON. Oct. l.o. Sidney Dark, the author, says: "I wrote the other day that the British were an in,i pie, so amazing: indeed that not only. "c"an AmDassadors entirely fall to understand us. but we often entirely .J understand ourselves. mJile.Pr,eSenttwar has onc asaln made It clear that Englishmen, Irish men and Scotsmen fight for fun. Ex traordinary as It seems to foreign peo ple. It Is perfectly clear from the let ters written from the front and from the conversations with the wounded who have come home -that the men who nave for days faced the appalling Ger man attack 'enjoyed themselves Im mensely." I confess that I do not understand it in the least. To me it Is something wonderful and surprising, but It Is a fact that must evidently be taken Into account if we are to realize our coun try and if we are to get the most and the best out of It at this crisis In Its fortunes. "The bluejacket spitting on the shell for luck and the cavalrymen charging In their shirt sleeves are to me the two most insistent pictures that have come to us from the- front. Emphatically and magnificently British. Ortherls over again the hard-bitten little cockney fighting for the real love of the game. Country's Uangrrr Not Realized. "These martial, "scrap-loving" Eng lishmen, Scotsmen and Irishmen are not consciously patriotic. They are not moved to enthusiasm by the flag. They are much . more eager to sing 'It's a long. Long Way to Tlpperary' than 'Rule, Britannia,' and I am afraid that their brothers and their cousins may not be attracted by the most fervent t declarations that the country Is In danger. They will never believe it. No eloquence and no facts will ever per suade them that Britain can really be threatened by any foreign nation or by all the foreign nations combined to gether. "The most effective recruiting Ser geant for these men who, because they love fighting, must necessarily be the best fighters, would be a man of their own kind, who would tell them In their own language what magnificent fun a battle is, and how it knocks football and a 20-round boxing contest Into a cocked hat. "An East End doctor asked one of his women patients why her brother bad enlisted. "Oh, I don't know.' was the reply, ' 'e always wants to be hin heverything. 'E's one of them nosey sort.' What Bhe meant was that her brother was a born adventurer. Sol diering was probably a bore to him in peace time, but he just had to be in it when the guns began to shoot. Piety Fearful Characteristic ' ' "The south of England always has produced adventurers. Most of the men who sailed with Drake went just for the fun of the thing. Salvation Yeo felt that he had a mission from heaven to kill Spaniards, but his messmates killed Spaniards and were killed by them for the thrill of the game. "I do not think that any other peo ple fight quite In the same spirit as the British and the Irish. This spirit has two distinct sides to it. There Is the good-humored, rollicking reckless ness and the dour, stubborn persistence, as characteristics of the modern Scotch regiments as it was characteristic of Cromwell's Ironsides. - 'The Scotsman enjoys fighting every bit as much as the cockney, but his in terest is deeper and Quieter, part of his religion. When a pious man fights and finds fighting pleasant he is the most terrible fighter in the world. The Cav alier discovered that In the 17th cen tury, and I am certain that if Sir Wil liam Robertson Nicoll beats up recruits from Young Men's Christian Associa tions' and chapel Bible classes, they will form the fiercest and most determined battalions in all the allied armies."

Representing an investment of near ly $700,000,000 and a reclaimed area of more than 20.000.000 acres, the Inter national Irrigation Congress will meet here for Its 21st annual session Octo ber 6 to 9. Largely through Its efforts not only has the vast area of over -20,-000.000 acres been reclaimed to agri culture in the United States and Can ada, but its efforts to conserve the Na tion's forests were among the first on the continent. This year's session undoubtedly will be the most important yet held by the congress. The last year has witnessed the completion of several huge recla mation and irrigation projects and to day irrigation is conceded to be one of iho prime reasons of the wonderful de velopment of North America's mighty West. To the United States this session has a special significance. For the first time will the American irrigationists be able to see with their own eyes the progress made by Canada on lines which still perplex many of the states. A feature of this year's sessions will Ybe the opportunity to see and review the largest single irrigation project In the world, only a few miles from Calgary. This project Is the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's Irrigation block, containing 3,000,000 acres. Nearly 1,000,000 acres already have been brought under ditch and the total length of canals and ditches of this vast undertaking exceeds 8100 miles! Local Option Elections Asked. ROSEBCRG, Or, Oct 3.

The cry is for a greater Roumania and tha liberation of our brothers in Transylvania. ConfllctinK Duties Call. "Undoubtedly the situation has placed King Charles in a dilemma, for he already has made his choice between his duty as is.ing of a free people and his duty as a Hohenzollern. The lat ter proved too dear to his heart; he is serving his caste and will do so until his death. "When Russia proposed to King Charles that he occupy Transylvania and Bukowlna. he refused, declaring his troops were needed to guard the frontier. Bukowlna, which is just as Roumanian as Transylvania, is occu. pied today by Russian -troops and has been, deolared a Russian province. Klns "Hero" mmd "Traitor" Roth. .

R1B0T COUNTS COST France's War Outlay $420, 000,000 in 60 Days. BANK HAS GAINED CASH Finance Minister Says Arrangements . Have Been Made to Assure Re sources Should Conflict Ex ceed Limit roreseen. PARIS. Oct. 3 The war is costing France $7,000,000 a day. Minister of Fiance Alexandre Rlbot announced to day that the outlay for the first 60 days of the conflict had been $320,000,000. M. Ribot gives an interview to the Temps on the situation in the Bank of France. He says that on October 1 the bank had $812,400,000 In cash, which was $63,800,000 more than it had on the eve of the war. "Loans and dis counts, the Minister of Finance aaid. "are $895,200,000, an increase during the last weea oi ii,&uu,U0U. "The advances made to the Govern ment on October 1, after two months of the war, reached $420,000,000. The credit balance on the same date in the treasury was $58,200,000 and therefore we are far from having exhausted the amount provided by our convention with the bank. Besides we have just renewed the convention to assure the resources necessary in case the war should be prolonged beyond the date now roreseen. - Bank Deposits Increase. "The total bank bills In circulation October 1 was $1,845,800,000. this being $37,400,000 less than the preceding week. This is explained by an Increase in the deposits which on October 1 reached $435,400,000, an increase of $41,800,000 over the preceding week and it can be seen that France is far from having exhausted her reserves and that when the hour comes she will find the money for a new loan, which at present is unnecessary." Discussing the projected re-opening of the Paris Bourse. M. Ribot said: "I think there is an interest in doing so without delay but it is necessary to taae into consideration that the ex changes in London and New York still remain closed. There is no hurry any where to give too great faculties for the negotiation of foreign securities in the fear of seeing money go abroad, and if the Bourse reopens we would have to take precautions in this direction. Liquidation Is Avoided. "In any case. the Finance Minister added, "a resumption of negotiations on the Bourse would - necessitate the liquidation of operations made before the war and this could not be done without certain advances to the mar ket I am trying myself to put into shape measures that may soon be ap plied.
