Fred- ricktown is just one of the hundreds of “lead towns” in Missouri and its case is typical. Before war was declared Fredrick- :town was voted a good town to avoid. Lead was “dropping like lead” in all markets. By the ton the product sold for less than $60. There was no big demand and there was a whole lot of the mineral already brought to the surface waiting to be used. Stores closed up, boarding houses re- duced their demands on the markets and gradually were closed, patches of vacant houses appeared and grad- ually enlarged until thew merged. Fredricktown was so nearly dead that nearby towns facetiously inquir- ed of the coroner when he was going to hold the inquest. Then it happened. The soldiers used up all the bullets they had and there was demand for Fredricktown’s | product. Laborers flocked back to the city. The shutters were removed from store and boarding house win- dows. Machinery began to move again, creaking at first and then de- veloping a business-like industrious hum. Lead jumped from less than $60 a ton to $90 in leaps of from two dollars to five dollars and the men underground produced the death- dealing metal for shipment to Europe. Now Fredricktown is thinking of sending to some big city for a civie expert to develop the beauty of the city. The war has boomed the lead country. FISHING ON SIDEWALKS IN LITTLE FALLS, MINN. Little Falls, Minn., July 27.—As & reproach to the city council for the condition of the sidewalks on East Broadway street, business men went fishing in front of their places of business today, along that particular street. Automobile drivers- stopped their cars and pedestrians gazed un- der the impression that the merchants had gone insane. It was nothing startling, however. So dilapidated are the walks that several inches of water covers them after each rain. The owners of the busineds places have swept water gontinually during the almost constant rain of the past few months and today they stocked the miniature lakes on the sidewalks with small fish, threw their lines in and proceeded patiently to await a bite. Wives are still obtained by pur- chase in some parts of Russia. ‘Woman suffrage has been defeated in the Wisconsin legislature.

Here is a Germany, beginning the second year of her war against the world, full of confidence, with in- creased faith in the destiny of the fatherland. i ; As Seen in England. * By ED L. KEEN. (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, July 27.—After a year of war, the British empire has some- what less than three quarters of a million troops in the field its allies have approximately ten million. The British front in the western theater is about forty miles in length; the lines of the other alliés east and west, including Serbia and Monten- egro, cover some sixteen hundred miles. As the ratio of troops em- ployed is one to fourteen and the ratio of mileage is one to forty, there appears to be some justification for the complaints recently made—quite unofficially, of course—both in Rus- sia and France that England is not doing her share of the work. But the question as to whether England is fulfilling her obligations should be considered in the light of her promises. On this basis she has delivered more than was specified in the contract. There were two clauses in the secret agreement made with France long before the war started: England would take care of the soas. She would send an expeditionary force to France of 120,000 men. Keeps First Clause. That’s all there was to it. She has carried out the first clause- to the letter; she has sent nearly six times as many men to the firing line as she bargained for, and she is still send- ing them as fast as they can be trained. Only the other day, thé “Temps” of Paris in an obviously inspired edit- orial commenting on recent tributes paid to France by the British press, made these significant remarks: “Frankness should be mutual. If on the land the support of our British allies is still only limited, we must not forget that on the seas it is they who have much the heaviest task. If at the beginning of the war we were able to complete the equipment of our army with a rapidity whjch was not one of the German staff’s least surprises, we owe it to the fleet which rendered us masters of the seas.” The “Temps” then admits that to this capital support on the sea, the British empire has brought its industrial and financial resources, ““while its military effort on land has really surpassed all forecasts.” What Saved Paris? There probably always will be some difference of opinion as to whether it was British valor or German blunder- ing that saved Paris in the early days of the war. Perhaps it was the two. Anyhow, Paris was saved, and Brit- ishers at least always will give the lion’s share of the credit to Field Marshal French, his generals and his soldiers. But even if the salvation of Paris was not due to the British, there is no question that they and they alone saved Calais and the other channel ports. Of course in accom- plishing this, England has done her- self a greater service than she has the French. Since the failure of the Paris at- tack, Germany’s main effort has been concentrated in the direction of Ca- lais, and that is the reason why, un- til he has received sufficient rein- forcements, General French will be unable to extend his front. The fate of the British empire rests upon the holding of those forty miles. “Spring Drive” Abandened, All idea of the “big spring drive” Cut Down Your Car Expense Every mile you run costs money.

In what was ac- complished in the Neuve Chapelle of- fensive was in a sense a victory; in what it failed to do, it was a defeat —for Lille was the objective and the Germans are still firmly planted in Lille. " Then after the second battle c¢f Ypres, in which the Germans first used asphyxiating gases, came the battle of La Bassee, This showed the British public why the ‘big drive” hdd become impossible. The British- and French troops were to make a joint advance after a pre- liminary bombardment for three hours of the German trenches and the field of wire entanglements interven- ing. In that time the French fired nearly 200,000 high explosive pro- jectiles; in one hour the British had exhausted their supply of 20,000 high explosives and the rest of the time used shrapnel. Result: The French infantry advanced two miles into trenches that had been. practically cleared, with a loss of only two thou- sand; the British lost 15,000 men in attempting to take trenches that hadn’t been cleared. Story Started Scandal. A newspaperman witnessed ~this battle. He told the public through the medium of the London Times the reason why the British had failed, starting the scandal that disrupted the British Liberal cabinet, caused the formation of a coalition ministry, sheared Lord Kitchener’s wings and created the new department of muni- tions, with Lloyd George at its head. Somebody has blundered. Lord Northeliffe’s newspapers fastened re- sponsibility on Kitchener. While giving him due credit for his mag- nificent work in raising, organizing and training the largest volunteer army the world has ever seen, they charged him with neglecting the one thing upon which any possible hope of British success on land could be based—an adejuate supply of high explosive shells. The one inexplicable incident is Premier Asquith’s statement ‘“‘upon the highest possible authority” that neither Great Britain nor her allies had been hampered by the lack of munitions—a statement directly con- tradicted by his recent frantic ap- peals to the workmen of England to mobilize for the supply of munitions.
