RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF III MELANCHOLY IS A SERUM AS WAR GOES ON AND NEWS IS BARRED (Tho following iitory ta the first re ceived In the United States telling of actual war romlltlorn In Vienna. It Is written by ths llrst American-trained newspaper wotiuin who linn ImJ an oppor tunity to see tiling us they lira In Aus tria.) By ALICE ROHE. (United Prodi Htnff Corronpotulent.) Vienna. Vienna Is a city of lost hopo, of gloom, of gray despair. Tho once gayest tinil most beautiful cnpltnl of Kuropo Is today tho saddest, tho most distressed. Silent, hopeless protests against the horrors of war which hnvo turned this wonderful, JoyoiiB city Into a melancholy eopul chcr for tho living, permeates every stratum of society. 1 have scon a procession of 1,000 mothers, wlioso husbands havo tiled In Gallcla, carrying In their nrmB their fatherless babes. They filed past tho great cold palace of tho ministry of war. It was tholr tntito appeal for peace. I hnvo seen n procession of little children, plaintivo and futllo emis saries of life, silently protesting against needless death. Dazed by War Horrors. I havo seen trains arriving, every ono crowded to suffocation with tho wounded and dying. From tho midst of these maimed and mutilated, sick ened nnd suffering men, I hnvo seen uncomprehending soldiers, dnzed by tho horrors of war, crazed with Joy at being home again, dragged from their companions and plnced under nrrest. Their crlmo? Why, they cried out in the delirium of excitement their curses against the Russians who hud brought such terrible defeat to tho Austrian armies. For no news must bo whispered by tho wounded or tho fugltlvo which reflects tho truth of Austrian disasters. And nbovo these visual pictures of tho melancholy Vienna of today, I have sensed tho touch of thoso grny wings of dread which caHt their shadow over the town tho soiled, tho sordid, the horrible wings of cholera. I have flt with tho people, stalking beside this hideous enemy, tho plague Its sister Bpecter, hunger. Seventy Thousand Now In Hospitals. In Vienna today 70,000 wounded aro being cared for in hospitals, schools), universities, hotels, churches. The Red Cross admltB Its Inability to care for all tho wounded, and tho sight of helpless men, suffering needlessly and hopelessly, is' ono which confronts the worker in the cause of humanity. In all Europe there does not exist today another capital whore tho pub llo Is treated bo Inconsiderately In re gard to war news. Tho newspapers publish nothing save tho official state ments and their "news" can be guessed at. Arrests aro made hourly of Vien nese who whisper words of Austrian defeat Spies aro everywhere. In a cafo on the Praterstrasso I sat In a norvous crowd and saw whisper ing refugees from Gallcla passing their story on, furtively and fearfully. Suddenly I saw a young man whose palo face told of recent suffering de serted by his companion, who went to tho door, whispered to an officer and departed. In a moment the fugltlvo was arrested. Ho had talked to a Bpy. Talks to Young Mother. At tho Bame station whore the In coming trains bring new misery for gay Vienna that was I talked with a young mother whose husband lay dead on the battlefield. Sho had fled to the capital to plead with tho govern ment which had taken her husband and robbed her children of a father for means of support and some of the necessaries of life. She told In pa tient, resigned tones of her sufferings In bringing her three children from Gallcla, whero her homo was to bo her haven no longer, nnd where blood ran deep In tho garden beds which sho had tended so faithfully watting the return of her husband. "When wo arrived at the frontier," she said, "the scenes were awful. Wo wero herded Ilko animals and were treated worso than we treat our dogs. I was days In securing a placo In the trains because I had no money. There was a pollco officer on the train, nnd he demanded our passports, such money as we had, and when we could show neither ho refused for days to let us go on." The natural Impulse of these fugi tives hero Is to speak of tho ovll days which havo bofallen them, of their losses nnd tho carnage and they can not understand why they are arrested for It.' Moves Citizens to Despair. The right of automobiles carrying wounded soldiers past tho brilliant Hot theater, past the opera, past tho gothlc splendor of St. Stephens, where formerly gay cars sped on, bent on pleasure, Is one that moves the Vi ennese to despair, I talked to ono of these wounded soldiers as the car In which ho was being carried was stopped In front of tho Burg theater for repairs. He told me In whispers, while tho guards wore busy with tho car, of tho frightful ravages made by tho Russians nnd tho Servians upon tho Austrlans. "Thoy havo buried our dead in heaps," ho said, tears coursing down , his face. "Thoy wero killed llko shoep drivon to a slaughter yard. Tho ( Russian artlllory has dono unbellev i able things. Tho Russians wnsto tholr ammunition as though It woro free as nlr. Their Infantry Is not good, but how tcrrlblo Is tho artlllory how ter rible" Tho spirit of patriotism In tho Vi ennese runs' to Its highest flood when thoso woundod men aro being con voyed through tho streots.

And patrolling tho streets one seen Increasing In number dnlly nonde script army unlfornm, Kvcry color nnd sort of ancient regalia hns been brought forth from old storehouses. In tho hour when wnr and Its hor rors aro keeping a pnll over Vienna tho sight of religious processions, headed by priests praying for Dlvlno old, brings out In relief tho picture of fnlth. Tho churches aro constantly filled with women and children, pray ing for husbands and fathers and brothers who may never return, In tho tlmo of sorrow too grent to on duro nlono tho people nro throwing themsclvos moro nnd moro upon tho bosom of tho church, which bus of fered them consolation so many times before. Rich Are Accused. Whllo tho devout nro filling tho churches nnd tho wounded are filling tho hospitals, whllo tho wretched fu gitives am bringing with them famine from Gallcla, accusations and pro tests are rising abovo tho murmurs of distress, against tho rich. On different subscription lists opened dally for tho Red Cross tho sight of unbelievably small sums giv en by members of tho nobility nnd by millionaires has brought forth waves of Indignation. A feudal prince who Is among tho rlchost men In Europe haB subscribed 20 crowns ($4). Ev erywhere ono hears criticism of tho aristocracy, of the high nobility and their avarice. This selfishness, say tho people, Is traditional, but tho pub lic bellovcd that In an hour llko this even tho tightened purses of tho no bility would open. It has been sug gested that a list bo published, giving the names of tho nobility, of the rich who havo been guilty of avarice, and who havo added to tho general pub lic depression. Emperor Francis Jo seph does not conceal his Indignation against theso grasping members of the nobility. HESSIAN PRINCE SHOT IN BACK, SAY ALLIES By HAROLD A8HTON. (International News Service.) Calais. Hospitals, both In tho flold and at the baso, are full of work just now, for the fighting that is going on Is fierce and reckless. TroopB upon entering a small vil lage, held strenuously for several days by the Prussians, camo upon tho body of Prlnco, Max of Hesse. Ho had been dead three days.

A rough coffin of real boards was mado for the boy ho was llttlo mors than that and then for threo long days the body lay In an outbuilding of a small farmhouse The body now has been sent Into tho German lines. Continual night fighting haa been going on. Tho nights have been des perately cold, but tho men and horses of tho allies have a splendid supply of blankets and good, hot food Is turnod out smoking from tho travel ing field kitchens. Troopt Havo Plenty. Tho troops havo moro than enough of coffeo, jam galore and cigarettes by the tens of thousands. Their spirit Is excellent, tholr health good, their hearts high and they aro still sing ing. They aro looking forward cheer fully enough to a tempestuous Christ mas day in tho trenches. Calais Is taking It all placidly enough. Tho city Is Ailed with Bol glan refugees wandering at will any where, anyhow, sleeping under the stars, amid stablo Utter In byways, In filthy bnck streets, on steamboats and on Ashing boats. In "tho harbor, whero hundreds and hundreds of fishing boats from all along tho coast Ho thick as their own packed fish after a spell of great hauling, there Is a living population almost jqunl to tho population of the town at normal times.

Tho North Platte experimental farm, whero about threo carloads of hogs aro raised each year for tho market, has shown a greater profit upon tho Investment in growing pork than In any other farm operation. Grain purchased at the market prlco has frequently shown a profit of 100 per cont by feeding to hogs, olthor upon alfalfa pasture or with alfalfa hay fed in tho racks to supplement the corn ration. Wheat and rya used as a winter pasture with alfalfa hay and a very small grain ration 1has proved ( a most economical method of wintering brood sows, and approaches in cost a full year pasture season, but it can only be used where wheat or rye makes a satisfactory growth in the fall months.

Those Who Trespass, vv. 1-64 Jesus plainly Instructs us that "tress passes must noods como." Our prob lem ,1b (a) to avoid bolng tho tres passer and (b) tho manner of our con duct towards thoso who do trespass. In this lesson tho second question Is troated first. Though a man bo over taken In tho very act of trespassing, thoso who aro taught and governod by tho Holy Spirit (boo chapter G: 16-25) nro to provo to tho world by their conduct that they aro thus taught and governed. Thoy are to "restoro ouch an ono," considering at tho samo time thomsolvcB lost they, too, stumblo. To restoro Is to roplaco, "to reduco a frac ture," to put a member of tho body Into Its proper placo. Evory believer Is a member of tho body of which Christ Is tho head I Cor. 12:12, 14, 27, and one who falls (stumbles) Into sin Is a member out of place. Man's Duty to Man. Tho first step Is to help our erring orothcr to bear his burdens (weights) of temptation, weakness, failure and Bin, and In so doing wo "fulfill the law ot Christ," Ch. 6:14; John 13:34; Rom. 1G:3. Jesus Christ not only gave us this law, but ho also lived It as well, Phil. 2:5-8. The true disciple, who la really trying to help hlB brother bear his burden, does so with tho conscious ness not of his own rectitude, but rath er that through tho grace of God ha haa been kept from a like fate. Other wise the man who "thlnkoth himself to bo something" deceives himself, and no ono else. God knows, so does the one whom we seek to help, if we are animated by spiritual prldo and boast fulness. This 1b a measuring line whereby wo may Judge ourselves (v. 4). Pride and criticism of others largely comes from a desire to glory In ourselves, not so much that we condemn the acta of our neighbor. In verso three we are admonished to boar the burdens "weights" of othors. In verso fivo we aro told that evory man must bear his own burden "load," i. 0., tho burden of his own responsi bility. No man can bear that load for another, whereas all men can share tho "weights" of temptation, weak ness, failure and sin. III. Those Who Are Taught, vv. 6-10. Paul clearly seta before us the re sponsibility ot being enlightened. Bolng taught, we muBt pass on the knowl edge we have been taught, ahare tho "good things" (v. 6) wo have re ceived, see Prov. 11:24; 'II Cor. 9; 6. Those who refrain from thus aiding their teachers gain no personal ad vantage. The word "mocked" means to sneer. Men may sneer at God and think they escapo the result of their sin, but llko still produces like. Sow corn, reap corn; figs; reap flgB; sin, reap sin; Rom. 8:5, 6. In spite of the contempt men have for God and la the faco of their acceptance ot this principle In other realms they con tlnue In their sin with a atrange fa talistic persistence. Habits Blest or Curae. This principle has a wide applica tion. Sow shame, reap dishonor; sow hate, reap bitterness; sow love, reap the fruits of love, kindliness, affection and esteem. Evory act Is a process of sowing. Evory appetite fostered, grati fied and Damoered helps to produce I a crop of habits either to bless or to curse. This gives color and signifi cance to tho words ot vorse eight. "Ho that sowcth to his own flesh shall ot (his own) tho flesh reap corruption." If, howevor, under the loading of the Holy Spirit (cf. John 6:G3; II Cor. 3:6) wo bow to the Spirit, we will rearj eternal lifo for "this Is eternal lift that we may know him." Bow a thought, reap an act; Sow an act, reap a habit; Sow a habit, reap a deatlnjr. The practical application is In verso nine. It thero aro such possibilities ot development, "let us not weary of well doing." Our sowing la not a matter ot caprlco or convenience. Nor should we, through weariness, cease our activity. , Tho temperance application 1b all too plain. We must constantly sow In the minds of the youth the "reaping of tho flesh" for those who cultivate itaste for liquor. We must sow In the jmlnds of taxpayers tho criminal waate and folly ot trying to regulate thts traffic or seeking to tax It for the sup port of govornmenta. We must sow In the minds' of those poor aouls now ,in the clutch of this damnable evil that there 1b a way of deliverance the way of the Cross, a permanent and complete cure for the one who has I gone the farthest or sunk the deepest tn sin. ! tfi u.
