death of your beloved wife. Our
knowledge of Mrs. Wilson as a most
charming and estimable lady, of Geor¬
gia birth and manners, only intensi¬
fies the shock and sorrow we feel.
We wish to assure yon, Mr. President,

guished and valuable services as the

tion are getting worried about the
weather conditions which have had a
very deteriorating effect on the grow¬
ing crop. Considerable open cotton
has been beaten out and into the
ground by the heavy rains that have
been falling nearly every day since
the boils began to open. The rains
will also have a bad effect on the
grades, making the sample show blue
or dirty and thus materially iessening
the value.

London.—London displayed little ex¬
citement when it became known Brit¬
ish troops were in France. There
"'ere no crowds around the bulletins
and no rush for newspapers. There
was a stolid, repressed, earnest crowd
in parks where recruits drill and at
the barracks where trained soldiers
go through evolutions.
The general routine is little dis¬
turbed, except for the unceasing move¬
ment through the streets of troops, am¬
munition trains and hospital corps.
Tailors and saddlers are rushed with
business. The sign “swords and bayo¬
nets sharpened” appears in the cutlers’
windows. No women or children weep
as the troops depart.
Attendance at music balls and the¬
aters shows no dimunition and many
Americans spend afternoons or even¬
ings at the playhouse, “Britania
Rules the Waves," the “Marseillaise”
and tiie Russian national anthem are
played by orchestras, the audiences
standing.
Private homes have been converted
into hospitals and newspaper depart¬
ments, under the head of “What Wom¬
en Can Do," or some similar caption,
are the busiest.
Signs are posted that Earl Kitchen¬
er, secretary of war, needs 100,000
men for three years or to the close
of the war.
There has been some protest against
German and Austrian waiters at the
hotels and restaurants. One newspaper
protests against excessive forbear¬
ance, as instanced by a crowd at the
railway station on tile departure of the
Austrian ambassador singing “Deutsch¬
land, Deutschland uber alles."
The stock exchange Is closed and the

The seaside resorts face a ruined sea¬
son and the hotels dread the return of
Americans, for they would not be able
to accommodate them. Food prices are

which comes from Austria and Ger¬

Cargoes of grain on German vessels,
captured in the Baltic, have been sold,

The Nottingham lace factories are at

Mutiny Follows Mobilization
London.—It is officially stated in
Paris that the mobilization of the Aus¬
trian army was accompanied by much
disorder and even open mutiny in
many places, owing to the unpopular¬
ity of tiie war among many classes
of people. This information is con¬
veyed in a Paris dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph, which continues: “in many
places Austrian enthusiasm for the
war is completely lacking and the
people complain bitterly against spend¬
ing blood and money in a. useless
cause.” The official statement adds
that a large number of Czech soldiers
have been shot at Prague for refusing
to fight, and that a whole Serb regi¬
ment of the Fifteenth Austrian army
corps mutinied. A similar nfUtiny oc¬
curred in Bohemia.
German War Balloons Destroyed
London.—A Paris dispatch to tiie
Exchange Telegraph company says :
“Paul Doumer, former French minis¬
ter of finance, just returned from the
fighting line in Belgium, says three
Zeppelin dirigibles which were recon
noitering over the war zone were de¬
stroyed. Another fell into a forest
and was wrecked."
Japan to Localize Fight
Tokio.—Count Okua, the Japanese
premier, in an address, recited the
statements he had made to the mem¬
bers of parliament, merchants and in¬
dustrial men of Tokio. “Japan’s war¬
like operations," he added, “will not
extend beyond the limits necessary for
the attainment of the object of the
defense of her own legitimate inter¬
ests. The imperial government will
take no such action as could, give to
a third party any cause for anxiety or
uneasiness regarding the safety of its
territories of possessions.’
Belgians Standing Bravely
London.—A dispatch from Brussels
to Reuter’s agency says that all the

Little Willie's Capacity for Sticking to
One Idea Singularly Like Way
of Rabid Partisan.
“The late Adlai E. Stevenson.” said
a Republican leader of Bloomington,
“hadn’t, after all, much use for poli¬
tics. He once explained to me why
this was.
“He said that, party politicians be¬
lieved their side to be always right,
and the other side to be always wrong.
Whatever the other side advocated, it
was horrible and infernal; whatever
their own side advocated was holy.
“He said the partisan couldn't- un¬
derstand that you might arrive at the
right thing by more ways than one—
and thus the partisan was like the ur¬
chin whose teacher said:
“ 'Willie, what does six plus four
make ?'
“ ‘Eleven.’
“ ‘No. Try again.’
“ ’Twelve.'
“ ‘No.’
“ ‘Thirteen.’
“ 'No, no. no. You’re just g-uessing.
But why couldn't you have guessed
that six plus four makes ten?’
‘“Because it don’t make ten,’ said
Willie^ ‘Five and five makes ten—I
