Yeo, There's a Lot of Itl
The New York "Times" published
the other day an account of an inter
view with his Excellency John Bon
sano, Titular Archbishop of Mitilene
and Apostolic Delegate to the United
States. The Interviewer finally asked
the apostolic delegate to tell some
thing of his opinion of modern Ameri
can literature as be had observed it
during his stay of four yeara In this
country. The learned father looked
carefully down Madison Avenue for a
moment and then gave his verdict:
"Of moderu American literature, I
would say that I am convinced that
It is plentiful."
It might well be added that one
trouble with our present-day writing
Is that very few of those busied there
in can express themselves with the
clearness, restraint, and force of bat
sentence. Collier's.

A Great Vooabulary.
It waa the office of a great sporting
newspaper, and the golf editor was
taking a brief holiday. In his absence
the inquiries from readers which the
golfing man answered through his cor
respondence column were handed to
the racing editor, "which Is the better-
course," wrote an ardent follower
of the royal and ancient game, "to
fuzzle one's putt or to fetter on the
tee?" The turf man tilted back his
chair and smoked five clgarets before
taking his pen in hand. Then, when
he had come to a decision on the
weighty problem, he wrote as follows:
"Should a player snaggle his Iron, It
lo permissible for him to fuzzle his
putt; but a better plan would be to
drop his guppy Into the prlngle and
snoodle it out with a niblick." Toron

Second Flyer, Disabled, Lands and
Crew Made Prisoners Much
Property Loss by Bombs.
London Of the 12 big Zeppelins
which invaded the British Isles Satur
day night to deal death and destruction
from the skies, two lay Sunday stark
and black masses of steel and alumi
num in the little village of Mangold,
Essex county.
One came down a flaming torch,
while the second, disabled by gunfire,
effected a landing, which saved the
lives of the crew, who are now pris
oners in England. The crew of the
first raider died in the consuming
flames of their own ship.
The death and burning of the first
Zeppelin was witnessed by tens of
thousands of London residents, but the
wounding and descent of the second
raider was a matter of doubt until offi
cial statements were given out. Few
details are available of this second
raider's condition, but it is reliably re
ported that the crew surrendered to
special constables.
Many who saw the shrapnel bursting
like skyrockets about the invader,
which subsequently caught fire, think
there must have been several direct
hits. Many aeroplanes were aloft and
attacked the Zeppelins from all sides.
The raiders took a heavy toll of lives
before their destruction, 28 persons
being killed and 99 wounded in the
metropolitan district of London. Two
persons were killed, probably four, and
17 wounded in the provinces.
The property damage, while widely
distributed, is confined for the most
part to small dwellings and shops,
Borne empty cars being destroyed and
part of the tracks torn up.
The roar of dropping bombs was
heard in many districts where the
raiderB were invisible. It iB not be
lieved that more than two or three in
vading Zeppelins which crossed the
east coast succeeded in reaching the
environs of London, and that two of
these paid the death penalty gives the
greatest satisfaction to the military
authorities.

A Shell Game.
A gentleman who dined regularly at
a certain restaurant often ordered a
dozen clams. One day he counted
them and found but 11. Still another
day the dozen was one short. He
called the waltor and asked him:
"Why do you give only 11 clams when
1 order 12?"
"Oh, sir," replied the waiter, "I did
not think you'd want to be sitting 13
at table, sir." Christian Herald.

Seattle ferryboat Triton Sinks
While Crossing Lake Washington
Seattle The Lake Washington
steamer Triton, owned by the Ander
son Steamboat company and engaged
in ferry service, struck a Bnag while
approaching Byers' Landing on the
east shore of Lake Washington and
sank just as she was drvien on the
beach. All the passengers and crew
landed safely.
The vessel ran a mile after striking
the snag before the crew knew that
she was leaking. When the vessel
was a short distance from the shore
the water began pouring into the en-
gineroom, but Captain Hiram Riddle
was able to drive her on to the beach
alongside the wharf at Byers' Landing
before the water stopped the engines.
There were only 25 passengers aboard
and all stepped safely off the upper
deck onto the wharf.
Ten minutes after the vessel had
been abandoned she turned over and
now is lying submerged alongside the
pier.
$1,000,000 fire at Phoenix, N. Y.
Syracuse, N, Y. Fire early Sunday
destroyed the entire business district
and more than half the industrial sec
tion of the town of Phoenix, N. Y., 16
miles north of here, causing a loss of
more than $1,000,000. One person is
known to have perished. Eighty-two
buildings were destroyed. The fire
burned without check for 15 hours.
Not a Btore was left standing, and the
people are confronted with a serious
problem of food supply. Looters in
vaded the ruins, and scores of deputies
were sworn in with orders to shoot.
Animals Are) Fed Better.
Borlin German horses and cattle
are now sharing in the improved condi
tions of sustenance 'made possible by
the more plentiful harvests this year.
The rations of oats for horses kept in
Germany have been increaaed from
three to four pounds a day and those of
bulls have been increased two and a
half pounds. Draft oxen are now al
lowed two and a half . pounds of oats
daily, and draft cowa 'one and a half
pounds, while employed at harvesting.
During the last year draft oxen and

BITTER BATTLE RAGING IN EAST;
GREEK KING GIVEN LAST CHANCE
Paris, via London Although official
communications have shed little light
on recent developments in the war sit
uation, it is learned from staff officers
that the battles at all important points
on General BrusilofT's front are again
assuming the intensity which charac
terized the first period of his advance.
The principal centers of action are
the districts near Vladimir Volynski
and west of Lutsk, the Halicz region
and the Carpathians, and in each of
these territories there has been a gen
eral resumption of the fighting, which
has spread to adjacent sectors until the
whole southwestern war theater from
the Pripet marshes to the Danube may
be said to be again in action.
London According to Athens dis
patches received here, M. Venizelos
will issue a manifesto to the Greek
people from Canea, Island of Crete,
where he probably will direct the
formation of a separatist government.
Besides Admiral Concuriotis, the
dispatches add, those accompanying M.
Venizeos include all the members of
his former cabinet, with the exception
of M. Raktavin, minister of justice.
.The proclamation of M. Venizelos, it
is said, will invite King Constantine to
put himself at the head of a national
defense movement.
An Athens dispatch to the Daily
Chronicle Bays the Venizelos proclam
ation will provide the last opportunity
for King Constantine to place himself
and his government in line with the
wishes of the majority of the week
people, who do not want any declara
tion of the dethronment of the monarch.
The dispatch says Venizelos will call
for a general mobilization throughout
the Island of Crete for the purpose of
national defense.
Exports Make Record of Half
Month for first Time
Washington, D C. American ex
ports have passed the half billion dol
lar a month mark. Statistics issued
Tuesday by the Department of Com
merce show that goods sent abroad in
August were valued at $510,000,000, a
record not only for this country but for
the world. The total is $35,000,000
above the previous high record, estab
lished in May and $45,000,000 higher
than the June figures.
Imports decreased in AugUBt, the
total of $199,247,391 being $47,000,
000 below that of June, the record
month. It was greater, however, than
the total for any previous August.
Exports for the year ended with Au
gust aggregated $4,750,000,000 and
the imports $2,200,000,000, both to
tals being far in advance of those for
any similar priod. Of these August
imports, 66.5 per cent entered free of
duty, compared with 67.5 per cent in
August a year ago.
The Federal trade balance for An
gust was $311,000,000, compared with
$119,000,000 in August a year ago,
and a balance of $19,000,000 in Au
gust, 1914, against the United States,
For the 12 months ended August 31
the export balance was $2,465,000,
000, as against $1,353,000,000 in the
preceding year and $374,000,000 two
years ago.
The net inward gold movement for
August was $29,000,000 and for the
year $410,000,000, a record-breaker.
Last year the net inward gold move
ment was $146,000,000 and two years
ago there was a net outward movement
of $95,000,000. Gold imports in Au
gust were $41,238,716, against $61,
641,191 in August, 1915, and $3,045,
219 in AugUBt, 1914.
Germany Still Holds American
Taken from Dutch Steamer
Washington, D. C Official State
department advices Tuesday report
seizure of the Dutch steamer Prins
Hendrik by German warships, but did
not say on what charge Isador Polak,
the naturalized American, removed
from the vessel, was being held. The
department is investigating further.
Much significance is attached by offi
cials to Germany's seizure of mail
aboard the steamer. . Some time ago
Germany claimed the right to censor
letter mail on the basis that The
Hague convention, declaring the ' in-
voilability" of such mail had been
rendered inoperative by failure of sev
eral of the belligerent nations to rati
fy it, but more recently the practice
apparently had been discontinued.
Auditor Closes Seattle Institution.
Seattle The Equitable Savings,
Loan & Investment association of Se
attle was closed by the state auditor,
who took charge of all records. In
letters sent to the stockholders, Au
ditor Clausen said the association was
overloaded with real estate which had
depreciated in value and which made it
impossible for the association to "con
tinue in business." H. O. Shuey,
president of the association, said the
liabilities amount- to $76,000. The
assets equalled the liabilities, but
could not be realized on immediately,
Border Sick Rats Higher.
Washington. D. C Slight increases
in the sick rate of both National Guard
and regular troops on the Mexican
border are shown in a report Tuesday
to the War department. For the week
ended September 16 the Guard sick
percentage was 2.13, as compared with
1.91 for the week preceding.
That of the regulars was 2.63,
against 2.15 for the previous week.
Guard deaths totaled five and those of
the regulars two, against three and
four, respectively, for the week ended
September 9.

Walla Walla Growers Sell
Wheat in Shaky Market
Walla Walla In the past few days
farmers have sold about 100,000 bush
els of wheat at about $1.20 for club
and $1.28 for Turkey red. The actions
of the grain market have alarmed
some of the growers, who sold at 10
cents less than they could have ob
tained a few days ago.
Alex Wray and J. E. Berryman sold
22,000 bushels of choice bluestem at
top prices, and G. Schwenk sold 7000
bushels. There were numerous small
lots sold.
Winter bluestem, sown in the light
land section 12 miles north of Touchet,
yielded 25 bushels to the acre, while
Turkey red, sown under the same con
ditions, yielded but 22, according to'
reports made to County Agriculturist
O. V. Patton, who has been experi

William McKluley once said.
Surely they uplift, surely they are

mark and mark with mighty dlstlnct
ness every advancement we make In
production whether it be in products
of the soil, of pasture, of school or
factory. , . "
"In these times of rapid change and
advancement, nearly - every state In
the union is developing pride In its
great annual fairs and nearly every
one is more or less interested In excel
ling, if possible, at least its nearest
neighbors in the quality, variety and
magnitude of its products, . and in
their striking display," says a well
