CARTOON PSfCHOLOGy In No Way is Striking Differ ence of Thoughts of “Funny Men" Indicated Than in the Two Countries Periodicals.

Those who nre Interested in paychology will find thfM differences between American and Japanese brain-pre>e'CH«en uh re flected by the "funny men" a very In tcresting study. In the- first place*, the' Oriental neither feel* pain himself nor pity for the agonies of others am does the Aryan. AtnerlcM.li cartoemH which have reached Japan appear to indicate an almost universal horror at the bar barities e>f the* war, besides a kean * vmpthy with the sufferers on both sides in Europe. Japanese cartoonists have vet to In die ate- that that phase of the war has appealed to thorn. They remember well their own Kraut and devastating strug gle with Russia, yet no cartoon that has appeared In Japanese papers, and no expression of opinion by any of tho pape rs has considered in any way the pitiful loss of life in Europe or has Indicated that the horror of the war is appreciated. Humor in Battlefields. Instead, the cartoonist* find in the battle scenes a vast field for humor, and a* Japanese humor usually turns on something mechanical, the Tokfo and Osaka cnmle papers since the be ginning of the war have devoted their pages very largely to picturing fan tastic machines of war. For Instance, a cartoonist shows a grotesque suggestion for bringing down Germany aviators flying over Tslng- Tau and spying out the positions of the Japanese troops. The Japanese soldiers carry strapped to their hacks life-sited pictures of comely Japanese girls doing the weekly wash. The German aviators, attracted by this sight, come down to Investigate , and are easily picked off by the Japanese sharp-shooters. "Why not." says Oak*. Puck, “send a lot of attractive geishas to Tslng*Tau. Put them out in full view of the Ger man troops, and the latter will he so attracted by thorn that they will drop their weapons and fall an easy prey to the Japanese." Storming a German Trench. An Hrrompenytng Illustration shows s line of palm waving and graceful geisha girls storming a German trench, while the defenders are so stupefied by their admiration for this bevv of beau ties that swords and guns are dropping ltom their lianda The magaaine itakuten suggeata that r..;>i ins bomba at Tatng-Tau proved rather Ineffectual. It drawa pictures t., suggest that the avtatora pour out bottle* of anaathesla and when the , itetnN t»as fallen asleep descend, tie them iif. and lead them off to Japan as prisoners of war. Son e of the comic artists' efforts re fi.it the strange Ideas of the East about the sour and the ufler world. A series of pictures show 11 couple of Japanese soldiers preparing to retire for Hie night, when they notice a lot of ghosts of German soldiers ascend ing to Heaven. They quickly throw their tent over the ghosts, thereby making an airship with which they eat! over the bay and destroy all German ships at anchor in the tray. Eats Cartridges. Another series pictures an ostrich which ate all of a private's cartridges while the latter was at dinner The tu'l\ate has no meana of killing the os trich and eo recovering his ammuni tion. hut he gete a powerful magnet which attracts the steel tipped bullets In the stomach of ths ostrich and so takes the bird to the camp. Another Ingenious cartoonist thinks Hint aeroplanes might be used to sweep tlic land much as trswlers are used to sweep the sea for mines A long net is fastened ot two aeroplane*, ao that it drags on the ground aa the «ero- Planes fly, and gathers up tho enemy to tie disposed of at leisure. The peace suggestions advanced by ti c United States have been almost universally devtded by the Japanese papers, many of them Insisting that Hie reason for the suggestions Is that Germany is being worsted end America Would stop the war tn order to save Germany. Something to Gain. It is to be noted that Janan Is ths tml> combatant tn this war which Is nftrmed in the Idea that she has anme thlug to gain by the conflict. Both the Miles and the Auetro-Gertuans, though admitting at times that Victory would u can such, are filled for the -most part with the full realization of the enor mous' sacrifices and tosses the war Is entailing. Japan, however, with Great Britain imylng the hills, la tn an en viable position Of course If the Unit ed States were tn Japan's place ahs would not go to war because of the number of her etttsens who would he slaughtered with little of moral prtn ctrle to Justify the slaughter.

At the right Uncle Sam is standing In the background with his mouth watering as he observes Japan about to enjoy the results of the Talng-Tau expedition. Japan is dining otf a small roast bird representing China. An expression of terrible greed comes over the face of Uncle Sam when ho sees the conqueror pour a liberal dose of sauce on roast China. Below a Japanese cartoonist is taking n shot at President Wilson's overtures for peace. Uncle Sam is shak ing the peace tree In an effort to cause some of the fruits of peace to fall before they are ripe None fall and Uncle Sam's disgust with the result of his efforts have brought a frown to his somewhat dissipated face. POOR DRUTIC ARTISTS SUFFER Unqualified For War, Music ians and Other Artists Now Doing Menial Occupations. Paris.—Boor dramatic artists un qualified for roles In the theatre of war are among those who feel most the rigors of martial law. One of the baritones of the Opera Comlquc is driving a taxicab. Others have been driven to seek the nmat menial occu pations. During the first days of the war many of these artists were al lowed to sing tn the streets and really good artists were heard tn the courts of apartment buildings, but on uccount of the crowds they drew this means of ekelng out an existence was for bidden. One familiar with the night life of Tarts would hardly seek patriotic emo tions nt that music hall to which Ihe "Gan-can” gave a certain notoriety, and yet this place unlit n>cently closed was nightly the scene of Impressive in cidents characteristic of the few dis tractions tho city offers. All amuse ment*. If they may tie so called, are censored to the feeling of Ihe mo ment. Th* Marseillaise. At Ihe music hall In question the orchestra struck up The Marseillaise. A tall Algerian rifleman rose from a front seat. Hts right hand was lti a sling and it seemed to embarrass him. He hesitated an Instant and then his left went up In an Impressive gesture to hts red for. While he stood there “at attention'' a little trooper tn the blue-rcil trimmed Belgian cap clapped his hands. Jumped to hts feet nnd sa luted Tli* entire audience was up then and the theatre resounded with the inspiring strains of the hullle hymn. When the last notes cited away the ceilings rung with applause, but above the din cries wer® heard of “La Bra bajtronno! las Brahonconne!" A big tear rolled own tha cheek of the lit tle Belgian trooper aa he listened to Ills national anthem but neither he nor the Algerian rifleman moved a muscle. They stood there “at attention" until the English and Russian hymn had been played, until the lights faded and ihe moving picture appeared on the screen. Movie* Stopped. Moving pictures arc ruthlessly cut out whenever they strike a lighter vein then prescribed, nnd, for the sente reason, have felled the feeble attempts that have been made to bring th* cefe concert back to life Orchestral concerts are allowed, hut they too must conform to the regula tions end the programe Invariably In clude th# patriotic airs of the allied nations, military marches, marching songs and generally such familiar airs ns call up elevated sentiments.

WISBHP' Oil SIDE LABOR Secretary Wilson, in Address to Federation, Declares He’s Proud of Securing Justice for the Working Man. Philadelphia.— " There can he no per* m«nmt Industrial peace that is not hasoil upon industrial justice," declared Win. It. Wilson secretary of the federal department of labov, today to thf dele- KHtca of the American Federation of La bor. Introduced to the convention by I‘resident Gompers an "our Hill” and ad dressing the deleKates as "ffilow trade unionists" Secretary Wilson said he had Mien criticised for certain statements ht had made at the federation s convention at Seattle last yeav and declared that he reaffirmed what he said there and he would not change one title of the statement that every title to property is a law created and a law protected title. For \he Man Who Labor*. TJie secretary said he had also been accused of partisanship In conducting his department. "If securing Justice to those who earn theft* living by the sweat of their face is partisanship" lie ex claimed. "the count me a partisan on the side of the man that labors." Mr. Wilson in telling of the work of his department said that the last year and a half it had handled scores of trade disputes and that all have been settled with the exception of a Here Marquette nnd the strikes at Falumet and in Colorado. The department, he added, tHkes the stand that the employ er and the employe have mutual Interest in creating a greater amount of produc tion with a given amount of labor. They only differ »s to the share that should go to each and under the method it should he produced. As Mediator. "The department of labor also has been accused of partisanship,” Mr. Wil son continued, "on the theory that in acting as mediator in lahtW disputes it is performing a judicial function. That is not true. It performs diplomatic func tions. There is no more reason why the deportment of labor should be barred from bundling labor disputes in a diplo matic manner than there is for barring the state department from handling in temattoiuU disputes. * SIGNS OF SWEDISH PROSPERITY SHOWN Christian*.—Workmen are in de mand at a mlnmum wag# of $3.00 on a branch of the government-owned railroad*. Difficulty is beng experi enced to find laborer*. This shortage ts said to be due tn part to mobilisa tion of the army, but tt la pointed out as en 1 Indication of the prosperous condition of the country that wjth even a amall percentage of th# pop ulation tn idleness, workmen cannot be Induced to leave the towns and cities even when offered good wage* FLOUR PRICE DOUBLED. Christian*.—The price of flour has doubled sine# the beginning of th# war and- th# rutting off of Norway from Russian and Austrian market*. At the same time, meats are cheaper than usual because of curtailment of exports, meats, oattl#. hog* and sheep being among those commodities who*# export has been sharply restricted by royal decree. FRANCE AT ’FRISCO. Bordeaux. Franc#, (via Pari#, 3:55 p. m.)—The French cabinet decided today that, notwithstanding the war. Franc# will participate officially tn the Panama Exposition at San Fran cisco. GERMAN WINE DISTRICTS SUFFER HEAVILY BY WAR Output This Year in Alsace- Lorraine Expected to be Far Below Normal. Berlin.—Germany's best wine-pro ducing district, Alsace-Lorraine, has suffered heavily by the war, and it is claimed that tho output this year will be far below normal. Alsace, espe cially. has a poor crop, according to reports. Not alone had the bad sea sans of the last ten years caused a reduction of the area of vineyards to 108,840 hectares, a decreg.se of 108 hec tares (or about 300 acres) since 1903, but the earlier months of the year were very unfavorable for the devel opment of the plant. The vines were affected hy phylexera, which incessant cold rains made worse, and then, when hot weather finally came, the war broke out. In Southern Alsace, where the valleys and hillsides of the Vosges are almost entirely given to vine growing, many vineyards were cut down In order to facilitate military operations, while others were tram pled down during battles. The result of this has been that the wine crops of Alsace will be approxi mately one-third normal. Conditions in Lorraine are better. Though some of the vineyards around Metz were cut down when the war began, the crop generally is plentiful enough to discount this. The quality, more over, is said to equal that of 1904. Good weather early in the season fov ored a good average crop, and. unlike those of Alsace and eastern France, the wine growers of Lorraine were able to give their vineyards all the needed care. HOW A GERMAN SPY WAS APPREHENDED Paris.—Last week a battalion of French infantry reoccupied a village where the Germans had stayed some time. Everything was destroyed ex cepting the church and the presbytery. An old cure of venerable apnearanee received the soldiers with open arms. He told how the enemy had taken him away as hostage and he had seen the hard side of war. Finally they had released him end h# had been able to get back home. The a*me evening the French offi cers invited the eure to their table. Before the first course was served tho old man -rose slowly to say ''grace.” One of the ofMcers seemed surprised but the oire proceeded to murmur the lxttin prayer. He whispered a word to the commandant and the next in stant the cure found himself surround ed by four men with fixed bayonets. The lieutenant then approached and posed a few technical questions to the old man. This lieutenant was himself an abbe. The other seemed confused and then appalled. He was unable to reply. “That one." said the lieutenant, has never been a priest' " The man on being searched was found to he a Gorman apy. MACON LOO CABIN BURNS.

LIVELY DEBATE It METHODISTS North Georgia, Conference Re jects Application For Ordina tion Made By G. H. Turner. Marietta-—Vigorous debate was in dulged m at the session of the North Georgia Conferencu Friday when the name of George Hillyer Turner was called with the request that he be or dained elder. Thirty minutes' time was taken in discussion, and the final vote was against ordaining the young man. The conference voted to accept the invitation of the Rome itrst Metho dist church to hold the next session there. The invitation was extended by all the' churches and organizations of Rome. C. W. Smith, of Atlanta, secretary of the hoard of finance, reported that $19,125" had been appropriated for the 46 superannuated preachers of North Georgia and the 71 widows of preach ers. The Rev. Henry F. Branham, of Jasper, today asked to be retired from the active ministry. Bishop Collins Denny startled some of the . conference pien by declaring that next year many , would have to live on less and suffer, due to the crowding of the .ranks by the influx of new members. Bishop Warren A: Chandler, chan cellor of the new Methodist univer sity, addressed the conference regard ing that institution. The Rev. M. S Williams introduced a resolution requesting that the Revs. J. E. Dickev Fletcher Walton, B. P. Allen. W. B. Dillard, J. H. Eakes and W. D. Pierce be appointed a committee to petition the Fulton county superior court for a charter of incorporation. The resolution was adopted. Rev. George W. Duval, pastor of the Marietta West Methodist church, was today presented a silver loving cup by the Baraca class of that church as he concludes a pastorate of four years here. HD DISEASES ENTERING ENGLAND Health Officers at Folkestone Taking Unusual Precautions Against Maladies From War Zone. • Folkstone. —English health officers at Folkestone are taking unusual pre caution to prevent the admission of diseases into England from the war zone. I’assengers arriving on the Flushing, Dieppe, Boulogne and Ca lais boats are examined with great care. Folkestone is now practically the only commercial port open for pas senger business from the continent so the stream of refugees, tourtsts and wounded soldiers all passes through this port. Health officers feel the pulse of every passenger, examine Hie wrist carefully, look' into the throat ajid eyes and scrutinize the forehead for evidences of smallpox. 11l order that they may see the forehead of ladies whose hair is fashionably dressed it is frequently necessary to push the hat and front hair hack. This action on the part of physicians has fre quently caused ladies to believe the physicians were secret service men who suspected they had messages concealed, in their hair. . Immigration officials and plain clothes men examine the papers of all passengers very carefully before they enter England and usually en gage them in conversation In an ef fort to ascertain whether their French nr English has a German accent. Baggage is also examined thoroughly by inspectors to make sure it con-- tains no German newspapers or let ters from Berlin for persons in Eng land. Because of the improper use made of American passports by Lieutenant Lody of the German Naval Reserves and'other spies apprehended .n Eng land, France and Belgium, all bearers of American passports are rigorously cross questioned. Flushing is the only open gateway from the United States and England to Germany which affords a direct trip and most travelers to and from Germany go by the Holland route as it is much shorter than a trip by was of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Consequently the Flushing J™**! would be probably selected by secret agents of the German government. Scattered cases of scarlet fever and smallpox have already made their ap pearance among Belgian rofv.jgeoeFi in Holland and Northern Belgium. Every effort has been made to prevent the spread of these diseases in the refuge camps, but the Belgians are livng in such crowded and unsanitary condi tions that it is difficult to protect them against contagion. FRANCE IN GENERAL NEED NOT FEAR CHOLERA Paris. —-The recent proclamation is sued bv General von der Goltz to the people' of Brussels, mentioning the I possible return of German troops from France oh account of an alleged epi demic of chirrs, raging in the French j arinv, has caused Dr. Metchnikoff of i the Pnsteur Institute, to declare that l'nrls Is particular, and France In gen- I ( ,pal have nothing to fear from ths I disease He says the season 1* too far advanced for it to take hold and | medical science is too well armed against It for U to make any head- i ,> The general health in Paris, Dr. Me- I tchrtkoff says, was never better and | the physical conditions of the French troops is magnlfccnt. which fact, tn I connection with the progress made tn ■ surgery, accounts for comparatively Might mortality among the wounded Do your Christmas shop ping early and avoid the rush.
