Ike annual election Of officers for the
City Federation was held Thursday af-
ternoon IN Unity church. Mrs. A I'll.

The election, which proved to be the
most quiet one in the history Of the

Mrs Thompson had been endorsed by
most of the clubs previous to the cleo

steamer Mexico has arrived from IIa-

than two days behind her usual sailing
day in order to take the earliest advan-

GERMANY'S PREPAREDNESS.

Best Organized Army In the World
Says General Ludlow.
General William Ludlow, who, rs
president of special military board
organized foT the purpose of forming
United States war college, has been
abroad since early in July studying the
military systems of Europe, returned a
few days ago. Concerning the results
of his investigations General Ludlow
said:
"AH European nations have sort of
war college or general staff, body
composed of the ablest men in all the
various departments of the army, such
as an adjutant general, quartermaster
general and commissary general. The
United States has nothing of the kind.
The commanding general has no one to
aid him in concerted action in the face
of an emergency.
81 found that the German military
machine was the best organized of all
the European armies. This is partly
on account of the country's environ
ment being surrounded by first class
powers and consequently on the alert
In times of peace for quick action in
times of war. The German officers are
the hardest worked of all in Europe.
They seem to be drilling and training
their men from dawn to dusk. Certain
ly they have very little leisure and not
much time to sleep.
"One of the results of this hard work
is that an army of 100000 men has
been mobilized within ten days, so per-
feet are the quartermasters and com
missaries. Germany is ready in peace
and in war;"

FEARS FOR THE BUFFALO.

A. s. Trude Tells OF Much POach1nS
In the National Park.
A. S. Trude, who has just returned
from. his Idaho ranch, has sounded a
warning in behalf of the American BIZ
son, says the Chicago Post
"Poaching is going on in the National
park continually, and in short time
the herd of bison, the remnant of the
thousands which used to roam the
plains, will be extinct. 1t is claimed
there are 40 left, but can account for
only So, and would not be surprised if
the number was even smaller"
Mr.. Trude's statement is based on OBJ
servations made by himself and his
sons while hunting in the vicinity Of
Yellowstone park. Mr.. Trude tells of
one experience when he and his son
Dan were hunting together.
1--WE met an old trapper," he said,
"who had been living in the vicinity
for years. He inquired of our guide
for Henry's lake, a place known well to
every old resident. The guide laughed
at him and told him the question did
not sound we'll coming from a man as
thoroughly acquainted in the neighbor'
hood as he. The trapper led horse
that was equipped for a special pur-
pose and not for a hunting trip. We
followed him after he left us and found
that he returned to the park and enter
ed it.
1.-THE plan pursued by these poachers
is to take a horse, lariat, two sacks and
an Ak or sharp Ratchet and ride into
the park between the stations at which
guards are kept. A buffalo is slain, the
head cut off and the hide removed. The
head is placed in on" of the sacks and
the hide in another. 9th are strapped
to the back of the morse or cayuse,
which is so well trained it will go di-
rectly home The poacher follows by
means of the lariat, which is attached
to the pommel Of his saddle. In this
way, believe. many of the buffalo
have been killed"

Will Spend Millions for a Cable.

The government has decided TO lay
an ocean cable across the Pacific from
San Francisco to Manila. Two routes
the northern and the southern-are
proposed. The former would start
from Cape Flattery, Alaska, the near
est point of the United States to the
Philippines, the entire distance to
Manila being $50 nautical miles, and
would cost from So, 900, 900 to ST., 900, 1000.
The latter would extend from San
Francisco, by way of Honolulu, Wake
Island, Gaum and to Manila, distance
of 9,942 NAUTICAL miles, and cost about
$4,000, 900.

vessels for which provisions were re-
ouired in 1893. five years after the date
of the wreck.
There was a vessel in the italian
contingent called the galleon of the
Duke of Tuscany or the Florentine gal
leon, and the Duke of Argyll in 1877
called her the Admiral of Florence.
1t now appears that a vessel called
the Florencia was commanded not by
Fereiga but by Pereija. 1t is probable
that the Florencia and the Admiral Of
Florence are the same and that both
names refer to the vessel whose treas
ure may now recoup the fortunes of the
Duke of Argyll.
Through all these years there have
been many attempts to recover the gold
supposed to be in the old hulk.
I'm 1G41 a grant was made through
the Duke of LennoX, the admiral of the
realm, to Archibald, marquis of Argyll

thinks it possible to recover some OF
the ships and has given to him the
whole benefit that may follow the
same"
Such is the old record.
No one knows what was then found
In 1868, after the marquis had been be-
headed, his son employed diver on a
three years contract to hunt for treas
ure.
Twelve years after that he made an
agreement with the minister of Ormis-
ton to employ divers for three years
and to divide whatever treasure was
found.
Such search was continued at inter
walls up to 1880, when the Duke of York
as lord high admiral claimed the treas
ure, and he and the earl took the case
to court where the earl won.
A few years afterward one of these
men had assembled the throne and the
other had paid with his head for hav-
ing attempted a revolution.
A memorandum made by the earl de-
scribes the wreck in 1917. There was
said to have been $150,000,000 on
board!
1.-THE vessel was so blown up that
two men standing on the cabin were
cast safe on shore. The fore part Of the
ship that was above water is quite
burned, so that from the mizzen to the
foreship there is no deck left. but the
hull, full of sand, which the earl caus-
ed searched little, but found nothing
but a great deal of cannon ball about
the mizzenmast. Over the hindship
there is a great deal of timber. Under
this is the main expectation.
The other treasure is also one that
has caused contention.
The wealthy house of LlOydS have
at last secured permission to hunt for
the 100000 of bar gold known to
have been sunk in the ship.
She was her majesty's ship Lutine,
and she went to the bottom in 1893
just within the three mile limit of the
coast of Holland.
Consequently the Netherlands have
always claimed the treasure as their
own. but after legal contentious last
ing for a century the Dutchmen have
given in. and Lloyds have been granted
permission to set their divers at work.
The treasure is known to be in the
wreck and is easily accessible. so that,

Duan. The Duchess of Argyll has an
old map showing her exact location,
and it has not been many years since
divers went down in the old fashioned
bells to explore her.
Though, according to the old law, her
gold comes under the head of treasure
trove and as such is the property of the
crown, the queen has in this case waiv-
ed her rights because the Duchess of
Argyll is her daughter.
The treasure in the ship would be a
godsend to the duchess. The dukedom
is so poor that only recently the duke
was obliged to rent his ancestral castle
for a number of years to a patent food
millionaire.
The finding of the submerged gold
would recoup his lost fortune.
The treasure supposed to have been
buried in this ship has for nearly three
centuries been a cause for contention.
Yet it is impossible to settle definitely
just which ship of the armada the
wreck is. It's name has not yet been
discovered.
Tradition seems to be wrong as TO
the name of the ship. She is popularity
supposed to have been the Florida, of
sc or go guns, commanded by Don
Antonio Fereiga. The don sent word
to the chief of McLain at Quart
castle that he wanted provisions for
his men and that If he did not get
fhafn en- chort ordar ba would noua an1
take them.
McLain promptly replied that when
the Spaniards had been taught lesson
for more courteous behavior they
might possibly get the provisions.
Finally compromise was reached.
McLain was to give the dons food and
they in turn were to give him assist
ance in his quarrel with another Scot.
All went we'll until the Spaniard sud
denly ordered his men back to the ship.
when McLain. arguing that in such a
case he should be paid more for his
provisions, kept three of the dons as
hostages and sent Donald Glas TO the
ship to collect the extra money.
The fate of his three men did not
concern Feretga in the least. He dis
armed Glas and weighed anchor and
would have got away had not the

Glas made his way to the powder

This takes some of the glory away
