A S A Paris dispatch estimates that the Germans have thus far lost 60,- 000 soldiers killed, while a Ber]in' dispatch places the number at a lit- tle more than 1,000. What's a good citizen hunting for accurate war news going to do in a case like that? G, The short-story writers have been horrifying us for several years past with their yarns about thel dreadful effects of aeroplanes in war, but the results thus far in Eu- rope make them little better than observation towers—and at that they don't seem to do much 2ood. 0 If the dispatch from Berlin in the Telegram yesterday afternoon to the effect that the Germans had cap- tured 70,000 Russians in one bunch is true, it is the biggest hanl yet made in the war and begins to lift it out of the piker class in which we feared it was stuck. 0 What a striking tribute to the splendid versatility of the resources of Florida is that dispatch we pub- lished a few days ago telling of the train-load shipments of cattle from this State to Texas.

Barring her bad luck when she tackled her own plenty of and world robust off-spring in this couatry in 1776 followed up by the little affair in 1812, she has been almest uni- formly victorious in all her battles on land and sea all round the globe for the past three hundred years and it will go hard with her ed in the present conflict. But nothing of the sort has happened yet, and there are a million fight- ing Enclishmen, Scotchmen and Irishmen who are determined that! it shan't young yet, happen. The war is with the resources of no nation party to it even half ex- hausted, and perhaps the heaviest strain upon the amazing strength of the German colossus is yet to come. | ges [ The Tarpon Springs Leader de- plores the presence of so muzh base- | ball ma‘‘er in the big dailies to the exclugi n of better stuff and thinks that one man in fifty reads the sporting page. It might be nearer the truth to say that only man in fifty doesn't read it; for it seems to us that this nation is al- most baseball mad and that the in- fection extends to all classes, ages and colors and both sexes.

They are now op- jerating on a five-day a week basis instead of three days, as has been done for several months past. Large cash orders from warring European governments is the cause of the changze. Hundreds of men are em- ployed in the dbig Gary mills. PANAMA CANAL TO BE Chicago, Sept. 2.—A prediction would be destroyed by the raising of the isthmmns by a great earthquake, never to be re- page and turn with indifference from an article on the opposite page absolutely demonstrating the immortality of the soul. The news- paper does not form the taste of the reader in all things, and unless it is a publication catering to a spe- cial class, it must tell abont base- ball and other sports with ample prominence or some other paper will be established that will do it. We should all be thankful for base- ball, whether we personally care for it or not, for it is admittedly a ‘clean sport, free from the deadly vice of gambling, and in its manly | and healthy competitions the play- ers find athletic development and the millions of fans can work off in a safe and harmless way the energy and enthusiasm which might other- Wwise be directed in hurtful and im- moral channels. —————— {built, was made in an address Sun- day night by Preshyterian Rev.

This is the hi"h(‘fi' price ' ever paid for cattle in this ~ountry 'and is an indication of the scarcity of beef in the United States.
