"My son has gohe to the war. There are no men left in the country. The gov- ernment has taken my horses and cattle. This winter we. will starve." It 'was not far from Dreux that we saw an old woman swinging a cradle through the standing grain. Her white hair glistened in the sun, AS she recovered from each slow. and painful swing she rested a moment and placed a hand upon her aching back. We got out of the automobile to talk to her. As we drew near we saw the other old woman, who bound the cut grain into sheaves, was mut- téring and laughing te herself. As weapproached she sereamed and be- gan to run clumsily through the fields, Tha old woman with the cradle called her back, "Messieurs," said she,» "will par- don Gabrielle. She. is very old." The days before the order came for mobilization this old woman of the cradle was .one of the happiest in Normandy, ~She had five great sons, who lived with her upon the farm that had. been in her family fname since William the Conqueror sailed out of the River Dives for England. They owned horses and cat- tle and sheep, and their granaries were filled. Harvest time came, and fier sons and their men went at the Standing grain. "Phen-----v'la!' said wide gesture. The five sons and their men had every one been called to the colors. Because their horses were good, they were seized by the government, True; they will in time be paid for them, but for the present no eas has come im, Without men and horses it is difficult to harvest thx grain. Their cattle and sheep were requisitioned by the government. The lesson of the siege pf 1870 is yet fresh in every French heart. That is why the green lawns of Versailles and ether places owned by the state are now being trampled into dust by sharp hoofs. The state is providing against what may be fall. "The state needed our grain, too," sald oie old woman of the eradle. "Our braves must be fed." I have just returned from a 500- mile tour by auto.rail through Nor- mandy, one of the fairest districts of pleasant France, Everywhera 1 saw the same story. The year's crop had been a bumper one--but it will prove almost a total loss. Not one- twentieth of it had been put in stack when the mobilization order stopped the harvest. In every mile of the five hundred I saw ploughs standing in 'the furrow; or empty carts in the field. Pathetic little black clumps were scattered through green fields. They marked the rotting grain.' "Is it net sad?' said the pedsant- soldier who stopped us at one of the crossroads in the Breteuil country #0 logk at our passports. He spoke with the childl'ke candor one so of- ten finds in the French volunteer, 'I must stand upon this road with a rifle, and stop m"sieu, and all the time my good grain is rotting there beneath my eyes." That's the mischief of it. There are enough men guarding country roads and forty dollar culverts and gitting about rural guardhouses to have saved the harvest. But the plans for mobhilizatian did not con. template such useful activity on the part of the seldiery. ---- NEW CABLE RATE DETAILS. she, with a Arranged Between United Kingdom, Cariada and West Indies.

London, Sept. 22.--Khaki, the color which will render our soldiers so dith- cult to see, was! discovered by a hap- py. accident. The British troops mn India wore a colon uniform which, when it was new, was khaki in color, but, after a visit to the laundry was indescribable. A Manchester business man, discussing this defect, remarked casually. that a fortune awaited the man who could find a khaki - dye that neither sun, soap nor sodg" would fade. A young oflicer heard dhe remark, hir- ed a skilful native dyer and began the search. Years passed ments, {fill one in fruitless experi- day, turning over a heap of rags, relics of their failures, they chanced wupon one piece which was still khaki, though the laundry had worked ite will. But it had re- ceived no speci) treatment, so far as they knew, excépt that it had fallen into a metal dish, - That was the se- cret. - 'The metal of the dish and the chemicals in the dye had combined to' produce that fadeless khaki color which makes our 'soldiers invisible, and turned the lieutenant into a m#- lionaire: The world is charitable enough to forgive the man Xho weiter a aetey only because je needs Fl ns = "was under command. of Thomas Fy 8. how he sore Cin Heck". d [FINANCIAL MATTERS] Ri Oo SHAREHOLDERS.
