House, who was asked by President Wilson to undertake the task of preparing data for the use of the United States when the SNAKE Echis Carinata of India, Found Nearly Every Part of Peninsula, In Is Death Itself. . The most venomous of snakes Is iheld to be the Echis carinata of Tnriifl. lit Is about 18 Inches long and of a gray color. The creature Is death Itself, and carries In Its head the secret of ' destroying life with the concentrated agony of all the poisons. This snake is tolerably common In India, being found in nearly every part lof the peninsula. Fortunately, however, for man, It is ' not, like the cobra, a snake, for Its aggressive habits would make It Indefinitely more fatal to life than Its dreaded relative. This king of the asps does not turn to escape from man as the cobra will, or flash Into concealment like the but keeps its path against its human assailant, and pitting its 18 inches of length against Its enemy's bulk, challenges and provokes conhouse-frequenti- ko-rla- . t, flict. A stroke with a whip will cut It In two, or a clod of earth disable It ; but such is Its malignity that it will invite attack by every device at its command, staking its own life on the mere chance of its adversary coming within the little circle of Its power. At most, the radius of this circle Is 12 Inches. Within it, at any event, lies certain death, and, on the bare hope of hand or foot trespassing within its reach, the Echis throws its body Into a -of-eight coll. Then It attracts attention by rubbing Its loops together, which, from the roughness of the scales, make a rustling, hissing sound, erects its head In the center and awaits figure- attack. GIVE HIRED MAN A CHANCE Treat Him as a Human Being and the Result Will Be Profitable, clares Writer. De- Give the hired mans family a chance to go to places to go to town once a week, to attend church, to take part In the neighborhood socials and meetings. It will mean planning and foresight, and In some cases a little sacrifice on the part of the fanners family, but It Is worth the cost, says a writer In Farm and Fireside. A good many fanners hate to make Improvements In the tenant bouse and the result Is that It often gets terribly uninviting and even uncomfortable before .repairs and Improvements are made. We try to paint and paper our tenant house often enough to keep it looking fresh and neat and we omsult he taste of the hired mans wife when we do it It pays In the added care she gives to her housekeeping. We see that the windows are well screened and that the walks are kept In ondl-tion. "There are a good many tblugs that I like to do In partnership with the hired man's wife. Canning fa one of them.

No literary species bus had a more unexpected and a more unprecedented prosperity than the novel In prose, which !u the nineteenth century became the most popular of forms, essayed by many a writer who possessed only, a small share of the gift The novel Is almost of the only one of the literary species that the Greeks of the Golden Age did not develop and carry to a perfection which Is the despair of all later men of letters. They seem to have cared, little for prose fictions and when they had a story to tell they set It forth In verse, Inspired by the muse of epic poetry. Today that forsaken maiden can find work fit for her hands robes only by laying aside her singing and condescending to bare prose. Brander Matthews. story-tellin- g. warring nations gather about the conference table to discuss peace terms, has entered actively upon the performance of his unusual duties. His first move was to select Dr. John H. Finley, commissioner of education of the state of New York, as his chief assistant. Doctor Finley will bring to the work all the information which Jie gathered on a recent trip to Europe, where he made an extensive study of conditions. Emphasis Is laid upon the fuct that the appointment of the presidents Intimate friend and counselor to this position Is not Indicative of any move for peace at this time but Is merely preparatory to the peace conference which must come Inevitably at some time In the future. The selection of Doctor Finley la indicative of the sort of experts with whom Colonel House will confer. No man or woman with a preconceived opinion which might tempt one to color circumstances so as to prove the correctness of a personal point of view will be permitted to participate in a work where Is a prerequisite to the arrival at conclusions that will enable the government to determine upon a correct policy. Emphasis Is put upon the unalterable determination that neither professional pacifists nor confirmed militarists can be in the slightest degree useful In preparing statistics for governmental guidance, which must be without taint of bias. In an interview Colonel House made It plain that his appointment does not Indicate any thought of immediate peace In now being entertained by the United States government. He agrees with Lord Northcllffe In his message delivered before the American Bankers' association in Atlantic City that peace seems far off and America should beware the trickery and treachery of such propaganda. The trnth is that this effort on the part of the United States to analyze war conditions and evolve a plan of proceedure belated one, when hostilities end Is ss , just as our military preparations lagged for a period. But now it Is "full steam ahead and damn the torpedoes with our army and navy with p in mind, so not s thought of from now on there will be urgent prosecution of search for material, historical and Informative, concerning the world war. This quest of data will keep pace with an energetic prosecution of the contest, but will not halt It In any way. To pause now In any phase of belligerent endeavor might make the prospect of peace even more remote than It seems at present No 6ign of Early Peace. let-u- The government aees nothing whatever to indicate the early approach of peace, nor will Colonel House have anything to do with ascertaining the point of view of either the Entente belligerents or the central powers, or possible terms upon the basis of which they might be willing to enter Into negotiations. He will remain In the United States. It la possible that the state department will be able to afford him aid In the work he has undertaken, but he will not work with the department nbr In a diplomatic capacity, formal or informal. He will have no title and will receive no salary. The appointment of Colonel House affords another illustration of the expanding position of the United States m world affairs. Heretofore the state department has been equipped with virtually all the Information that was necessary to the solution of International problems In which the United States has taken a direct Interest The war has brought new problems and projected this country Into a field of international activity which It has seldom entered before. The questions which will come before the peace conference at the end of the war will be multitudinous. The freedom of the seas, the neutralization of seaways, the political homeogenelty of peoples who claim the right of and the disposition of territorial possessions Involving economic, historical and political questions, will be some of the many subjects to be considered, and the Information upon which conclusions may be based and policies decided must be at hand. With exclusive European problems, I NEWS, GRANTSVILLE, UTAH. It Is not expected that the representatives of the United States at the peace But In the council will be concerned. disposition of general questions, relating to economic Intercourse and political development which will affect virtually all the nation! of the world, the United States will have a potent voice.' In accordance with the policy that has been consistently followed since the outbreak of the war of holding aloof from European combinations except In the prosecution of the war. this government probably will not attempt to aid In the settlement of traditional Euorpean quarrels, except possibly as a matter of friendly Interest If opportunity arises. House Likely to Be Delegate. It was said unofficially that when the time comes to organize a peace conference. Colonel House, by virtue of his present assignment, would In all probability be selected as one of the delegates from the United States. It will be a part of Colonel Houses task to gather Intelligence relating to commercial, economic and political situations abroad. He will keep ebreast afof developments In all fairs. Colonel House will have associated with him, as has been stated, several experts, probably college professors, economists and specialists In commerThe work cial and financial affairs. he Is to perform will not be connected with similar undertakings In any of the countries with which the United States Is associated In the war. The United States government Isnt getting ready to enter Into peace negotiations wlth Germany, Isn't going to meddle In 'Strictly European questions relating to the war, and isnt negotiating just yet on the problems of peace with the Entente, as has frequently been surmised. Must Have Data in Advance. It la Important for the United States government now and will be even more Important later on to have a who's who and what's what" In the war In order that all phases involved may be properly understood by reference to data compiled In advance. In time of war the government that falls to prepare for peace will ultimately be at disadvantage, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger Ri an The representatives of Great Britain, Austria, Russia and Prussia, found this out after the fall of Napoleon when they met Prince Talleyrand at Vienna. Talleyrand, sent by France, had learned enough of the situation as It concerned all of tlie smaller European powers and at It concerned much of the opinion of Europe to turn the tables upon the four great powers and to stand as the champion of the public rights of Europe. Prince Talleyrand maneuvered, and successfully, according to the rules of a secret diplomacy. He really worked In behalf of selfish and nationalistic Interests. The partitioning of Europe by the congress of Vienna was the outcome of arbitrary compromise; it was prolific of future wars-Thknowledge which the great diplomatic exponent of France displayed was more comprehensive than that of his foes, that is all. Excepting that he recognizes the need of precise Information, President Wilson acts upon a principle different from that which guided Talleyrand. He will urge this nation Into no alliance, even with the nations with whom It Is associated In the common war against He proposes the Teutonic powers. simply to equip himself with knowledge pertinent to the rights of all nations In eommon with America as they may be concerned by the proceedings of the peace conference. To Show War Alma In this spirit the president hts asked Colonel House to survey the field of military, naval and political conditions In the countries of our enemies and our friends; to get at the economic, political and emotional state of things In every country, and to tell frankly to Great Britain, Russia, France, Italy and the neutral powers the things that we are doing and that we Intend to do In the war. Moreover, an attempt will be made to lift the heavy curtain of censorship In In orGermany and der to spread among their peoples a comprehension of American war alms and potentialities. Officials ore anxious that no Impression should be created, as a result of Colonel Houses appointment, of any Intention to start peace negotiations In the near future. So far as the attitude of the United States la concerned, the presidents reply to the pope still remains the unaltered view of the government here. The appointment of Colonel House Is recognition by the government of the fact that the adjustment of peace terms will be a very complicated proceeding. Many points of dispute must be settled. Questions c all sorts, economic, political, and historical, will come up for discussion, and the American delegates must be forearmed with a mass of Information and statistical data to meet every situation. No data concerning present conditions In Germany or Austria will come within the scope of Colonel Houses work, as this would coma under "military information."
