LONDON. Aug. 5.-The Berlin correspond
ent OF the Standard says he has authority
for saying that the much discussed Anglo
Russian agreement has been concluded
definitely and that It's terms are highly
satisfactory. Henceforth Russia. which has
been for so long regarded as Great Britain's
traditional dangerous foo. will be among
those Powers with which England has
agreements tending to remove all causes Of
dispute.
The correspondent adds that Germany
was informed throughout by Great Britain
and Russia OF the progress OF the negotia-
tons, and that no effort was spared to oon-
vince the Kaiser and his Government that
the new agreement was not anti-German
in Its tendency, and that 1t formed no part
OF the supposed ovsme to encircle Ger
many with a ring OF hostile Powers.
One Of the principal objects Of the Cars

respondent, Is to repeat to the Kaiser per-

VIII Try to Fly the British F1as o. . Group
In Lake Superior.


PORT ARTHUR. Ont. Aug. "A band Of
Canadians set forth in a g~asoiene launch

ment. leads the band. He intends to climb
the tallest tree on the island and from It's
topmost branch unfuri the Union Jack.
He is counting on the army and navy Of
England to keep it there.

went along to help Lieut.. Young up the
tree. When the conquest Of the Island has
been made and the Union Jack is flying

tory a part Of the Dominion Of Canada.
The, expedition Is not q joke to Lieut..
Young inc his little band. They we're all

Young has not received or asked for the
permission Of the Government. He de-
clares that Isle Royale belongs to Canada
and he has grown tired Of waiting for Eng
land 10 cay 90.
Isle Royale is and has been held since
early In the last century by the United
States, but all Canadians acquainted with
the geography and history OF their country
reject the contention that the island 10

between Canada and the United States.
