ton of Affairs in the Middle East.
Spheres of influence.

- LONDON, August 31.-The formal con-
signed today has been long awaited and is
welcomed in Great Britain as putting an
end to the years of misunderstanding and
ill-feeling between the two powers, par

the agreement have been known for months
past. The convention particularly defines

Britain in the south of that country. Great
Britain is thus relieved of anxiety that Rus

Persian gulf. When Lord Lansdowne was
foreign secretary he declared that any at
tempt on the part of Russia to do this
would mean war.

The other governments interested in Per-
sia have been assured that the convention
does not threaten the integrity of the coun-

interests of any one, and for this reason
the question of the Bagdad railroad is left
TO future negotiations between the powers,
including Germany and France.
The convention is understood TO guarantee
the maintenance of the present position OF
Afghanistan and Thibet each power agree

From the Lewiston Journal
The telephone is doing good work for
the forests Of Northern Maine. The folks
are using it in driving logs along the west
bank OF the Penobscot. They are thus in
touch with log drivers darts. When a
jam of logs is in evidence the telephone
orders the men to close the gates and
stop the logs from coming down until the
dam is broken out Then the telephone
sets the logger TO work again. A stick
of dynamite is generally used TO start
logs that are congested.

to carry the news up and down the river
