For -nearly 20 years, No. 5 engine

of the fire commissioners last night,
the chief's headquarter will be trans

'i i "Cypiras is a. very nice island with

Greece to fulfill her plan in the obli

might well encourage other countries
to ask a prize for their neutrality or
support. When the British empire
is reduced to selling part-of . itself for

t might be considered as in. a ' bad way.
i "Our strength in the Balkans seems

more remote. . The desperate position
Hn the Balkans is not the- result of
mere mistakes but of inability to

today pftblishes an interview with Dr.
M. Ji. t Vesnitch, Serbian minister to
France, in which the minister is quot
ed as saying that Emperor William
desires to effect three things byl an
attack on Serbia. These things are:
First, a junction with Turkey in or

lastly, to restore the German army's

ONE DEAD, SEVERAL HURT
IN AUTOMOBILE CRASH
New London, Oct. 22 J. Thomas
Hudson, who was injured in the auto
mobile accident in Waterford, Thurs
day night, in. which George P. Fen-
ner was killed, died at 11 o'clock-this
morning at the Memorial Hospital.
Mrs. Samuel Parks is in a very critical
condition, suffering from a fractured
skull. George Merritt, the only occu
pant ' of the Fenner car to escape
without serious injury, says that Mr.
Fenner was . trying to pass a car in
front of him whenVthe machine ahead
pulled into the road ahead of him.
The Fenner car struck the rear wheels
of the automobile in front and was
hurled around, striking the dagon
driven by Stacy Edwards of Water
ford and overturning, -throwing the
occupants out.
SIR ANDREW NOBLE DEAD.
London, Oct. 22 The death is an
nounced of Sir Andrew Noble.- He
was an authority on artillery and ex
plosives. For many years Sir An
drew, who was born in Scotland in
1881. served on experimental and ad-
f mlnistrative committees in connection
with the vnvT& of Woolwich Arsenal.
He was authgr of several works on
these- subjects. .
China Will Ship
Beef For Soldiers
: in the Philippines
Peking, Oct. 22 China will prob
ably supply the American troops in
the Philippines with fresh beef after
this year. Major Hugh Gallegher" of
the United States army and several
veterinarians recently made visits to
different- parts of China for the pur
pose of inspecting beef animals and
determining whether Chinese - beef is
suitable for - the American army,
which is very particular about the
quality of meat supplied to its men.
Contractors , in China, have .signi
fied their willingness ; to compete for
the armiy contract in' the Philippines.
As the7 Australians, who hav.e been
supplying fresh, beef to the United
States troops, will not be able to com
pete next year for the contract be
cause of the embargo Great Britain
has placed bn the exportation of beef.
It is likely China will land the beef
contract in Manila-- ' ' (
Chinese beef cattle are not as large
as the cattle which have been sup
plied from Australia. The Chinese
animals' dress only about 450 pounds
each, but are said to be a fair grade
Of grass-fed ; beef; ; .- -Manchuria and
Shantung Province are the chief cat
tle raising sections of China. Russia
is now drawing large quantities of
beef for its army from both of these
sections.' Beef cattle are shipped on
hoof from Tslng-tao in Shantung
Province to Vladivostok. Before the
war there was a ' small packing con
cern in Tsing-tao, but it is not oper
ating now. . v
Facilities for slaughtering- are also
limited in the Manchurlan cities near
:the grazing lands. The American
army prefers to have its beef killed
before it reaches the islands'," because
of the' difficulties of shipping live ani
mals into the tropics and the quaran-?
tine troublesc liable to arise 3nt of
such shipments. However, it may be
necessary for the Americans to
change their specifications in prder
to obtain the required meat.
, Within recent years , there have
been several agitations in China for
an embargo upon, the exportation of
beef animals. The complaint ! has fre
quently been made in various prov
inces that meat " expprtations., raised
the price of cattle so high, that it was
impossible for poor farmers to buy
the cattle required by them' to plow
and cultivate their fields. It has been
urged that it is quite necessary to put
an embargo upon the exportation of
cattle as it was upon the exportation
of rice, but the Central government
has not taken any definite step in the
matter. '.. .. ; .
AUTOMOBILE COMPETITION.
, Railroads that do a heavy tourist
business have been complaining about
their losses through automobile com
petition. With a good . sized family,
the saving by using a motor can tre
very considerable. '. It is one of the
economies which people plan in ad
vance to offset the cost of the car.
But as a matter Of fact there may not
be much saving here. The average
motor party probably spends as much
in hotel bills and garage fees as it
saves., But they think they are sav
ing the price pf the railroad passage,
which amounts to the same thing. The
effect is seen in the passenger earn
ings of any line doing a tourist busi
ness. In the commuter towns around
the large cities, the motor partly
takes the place of the train.. In the
plainer communities, the working
people still scramble for,, the train"for
the city , as they did of yore. But in
wealthier neighborhoods the sociable
sight of the whole masculine element
rushing ten masse for trains is no
more. The swift moving motor gives
the business man five miutes longer
over his egg and coffee.
The railroads for the time being
will be hadd. put -to it to make econo
mies to counterbalance this loss. Per-
haps they could cut off some nearly
empty sleeping and parlor cars. Many
of .thesd are hauled over long dis
tances with three or four people
in solitary grandeur. These cars are
heavy and it-:osts good . money to
haul them. .. 7
The railroads will always continue
to be the great democratic highway
for thv mass of the people. Long
tours in a motor car have zest for a
time. ' But in time it ceases to be a
novelty. The train covers the dis
tance in the least time and the great
est certainty. It costs more and more
money to build a railroad, so that an
existing right of way gets more and
more valuable. The country is grow
ing, and there will be many freight
shipments additional for every motor
party that is lost-

used to enforce the representa

Despite the odds' against' them
Serbians are not discouraged,
according to British and French
officers who have been at the
Serbian front in the north, a Sa

on the same authority, held the
Austro-German forces to an ad
vance of but eight miles in nine

THE YOUNG MEN
AND THEIR CLOTHES
GREEKS CONCENTRATE
50,000 AT SALONIKL
Naples, Oct. 22. Passengers arriv
ing on -the steamer Montenegro from
Saloniki state that , the departure of
troops of the entente allies for Strum-
nitsa has been suspended. The land
ing of Anglo-French forces is said to
continue. f
According to the passengers the
concentration of Greek troops is be
ing carried out acUyely at Saloniki,

Fanner Wan. Ada. One Cent st WotnS. have been landed.
In looking'' over a trade report the
other day, the statement as noticed
that the "young men's clpthing
ouses were selling certain styles.
This prompted the question, Is there
a distinctively young man's style of
dress? Across the' line of sex no such
line appears. Elderly women fre
quently dress as if they were "trying
to call attention to fresh beauty. And
young women who could afford to at
tract scrutiny rrequently dress very
simply.
In other orders of existence, it is
quite common for the male to be
decked out in fine , plumage. The
male bird is apt to wear brilliant
feathers, while the female may be
dull grey or brown.
The human male seems to have
some longings for this display, and
to part from it, at least during youth,
with some regret. Up to. the. past
century, men's dress clothes we're of
the most gorgeous rainbow hues. In
some branches of sport like, hunting
and golf, red and green are still more
or less popular.
The dominant feeling among ma
ture men favors inconspicuousness ox,
clothes. This holds down formal
dress to plain and severe black. In
business He srthng onedks and
plaids are condemned as "loud" and
effusive. There are many young men,
however, who apparently dislike to be
held down by these rulings. Seeming
ly they would like to array them
selves in purple and fine linen, to be
physically resplendent to the other
sex. - .
And so it comes about that men's
styles originate many novelties every
year. They are not very pronounced
as compared with women's fashions.
But men's dress is no nearly alike
that any variation is noticeable. The
clothing maker who would sell to
youth must stock up on these
changes. Young men dislike to fol
low too much the beaten path. They
cherish their own individuality, and
seem to prefer something that em
phasizes it, and gives them some;
mark of distinction from their fellows.
It seems to be the first item of the
day's newspaper work ait Washington
every morning to call up Margaret
Wilson and ask her if she is engaged
yet.
