GREGORY OF TEXAS
 ATTORNEY GENERAL

WASHINGTON, Aug. l9.-Thomas Watt Gregory of Texas was today ap- pointed attorney general of the Unit cd States to iill the vacancy created by the appointment of Attorney Gen aIul NcRcynodS Co the vacancy in the United States supreme court. Greg ory tool, a leading part in the demo- cratic politics of his state and has also filled many official positions of the irst rank there.
 In spite of all this his selection has cen received with some surprise as several men of greater prominence Lave been mentioned in connection with the position while the name of Gregory has scarcely been heard at uN
 The chief reason for his selection is said .o be that his ideas on trust QueS- tions coincide with those of the presr- dent himself and the policies of the administration in the past will be fol- lowed out.

POPE DYTNT--VICT7u
 OF EUROPEAN VAR

ROME, Aug. 19.-Pope Plus is dy- 1 ing and is surely as much victim of the European war as if he had died on the battlefield. The last Sacra- mcntS of the church were administer ed to him today and the physicians have given up all hope. His sisters have already been summoned to bid him good bye.
 Plus x was born in 1895, the son of poor parents. He was elected pope in 1903 to succeed the great Leo XIII. His motto was "To restore all things in Christ.
 Much speculation is now taking place regarding the election of q sue cessor. Tremendous difficulty is sure to be experienced by some of the car dinals in reaching Rome for the elec- ton. The cardinals from the United States particularly would be placed in peculiar position by the lack of transportation facilities owing to the great war
 The beginning of the war over whelmed the pope to such an extent that he was compelled to take to his bed. His mental anguish induced phy- sical illness which has grown worse as the war proceeded. He will prob ably not live through the night.

COMMANDERS OF THE
 NATIONS

The following are the com \ mandcrS in chief of the armies V and navies of the great powers ,| that are now engaged in the
 death struggle:
 Commander in chief of the X French army, or supreme com \ mander, General Joffre. ' The leading admiral of the N French navy, Admiral Boude La \ peyrere.
 \ The Russian army chief is the \ czar and the other commanders \ occupy about equal ranks in the .I second commands. The position .( of commander in chief of the
 < Russian navy has been vacant
 ' since the death of the Grand | Duke Alexis.
 ' The German emperor is chief z of the army. His chief of gen I cral staff is Count von Moltke, a ! nephew of the late famous gen ! eral of the same name. There ' are also seven fcld-marShal-gen- ' erals. Admiral von Tirpitz is the I chief of the admiralty after the I royal fgure-headS. The Austrian emperor is chief { of the army and Archduke Franz ' Ferdinand is his representative. ! The real leader of the military ] forces is the chief of the general ! staff, Freiherr Franz Conrad von [ Hotzcndorf.
 Japan has three field marShals l under the emperor. The chief of 1 staff is General Viscount HaSe- ] gawa. The admiralS of the fleet ! are Count Ito, Count Togo and ' Count lnouyc.
 The chief of the imperial staff 1 of the British army was Sir John French who, however, retired ! some time ago because of diff { cultieS arising from the Irish ! question. Recently Lord Kitch- cner was placed at the head of the war forces and created sec { retary of state.
 The real fighting heads of the ! British fleet are the "Admirals of l the Fleet. They are Admirals 1 Noel, FanShawe and May, all of ] whom have the title of "Sir".

 The commander in chief of the ' home fleets is Admiral Sir ' George A. Callaghan.

WHAT HAPPENED
 TO BURNS BOOM?
NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW HIS NAME DIED OUT
 SO QUICK

Can anyone tell what happened to the Burns boom at that democratic convention at Skagway? A man might be able to make fairly accur- ate guess at the location of the Brit ish fleet or the French airShip corps but the chief mystery of the present day is how Bunnell and not Burns nor GrigSby nor anyone else got the nom ination for delegate to congress.
 Just before the nomination it was all Burns. The Nome people did, of course, feel inclined towards nominat- ing GrigSby, and there was some talk about others but never at any time did anyone dream of Bunnell. At least no newspaper ever mentioned his name and no leading light of the party of the unterrified ever spoke the word Bunncll above a whisper.
 The Alaska papers have been watched carefully since the Conven- tion for some explanation of the cause of the sudden change in the desires of leading democrats and lots of other democrats throughout the country have been asking the question why the Burns boom fell down. There is something uncanny about this silence as the name of Burns had been men- toned so universally throughout the territory as the most likely candidate that the story as to how he was given a back seat might be regarded as ha;- ing some news value. The editor of the Juneau Empire was present at t.c convention and in the pages of that fine paper there appeared nothing that could explain the change. That is a rather remarkable fact in a well edited newspaper like that and par ticularly because Mir. Troy is in touch with the leading lights of the parry and knew of the Burns boom. The Fairbanks papers have not yet arrived that could give an idea about the feel ing in that section over the change and really the Empire is the only orr. on the coast from which enlighten- ment might be expected to come.
 Every one who knows Mir. Bunnell speaks well of him and he is probably a fine candidate even though he came as a surprise. The only question ask ed in "this here" efrusion relates noy to the relative or positive merits of any men or candidates but to express the surprise of great many people that no one ever heard why the Burns boom busted and the Bunnell boom boomed. It is loyal democrats who are asking this question. Many times before this secrecy has raised the sus- picions of good men and for the sake of the party the whole thing should be given out.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-McRey- holds was nominated this morning as judge of the United States suprem, court and his confirmation is expect ed to take place without any delay. 1t was announced officially yesterday that the nomination would be made within few days and it is likely that the delay was made because of some necessary arrangements for the nom ination of a man to take the place of the attorney general.
 James Clark McReynolds was born in Elkton, Kentucky, on February 3, 1862.
 He was the son of pr. John O. Me Reynolds. He was assistant attorney general of the United States from 1903 to 1907 and afterwards practiced

STILL SILENlE OVER NAMES

LONDON, Aug. l9.-Aa Britain is now waiting for news from it's army and navy The position Of the laeE has been completely hidden from the public and it IS as Sumed that the warShpS spread out in long line with great spaces between each ship that passing vessel could see only one at the time. By this it is sup posed that the adnralS keep their positions secTe while they can send out orders for concentration by wire less when it becomes necessary.
 The position of the main German fleets is also myS. tery although they are generally supposed to be still off Kel and well protected by mines and Notifications tina the enemy cannot approach them.
 Most of the kaiSerS warShpS are undoubtedly safe in the Kie canal which connects the North and the Bal tic With wonderful foresight this canal was built with greater depth than any other and can hold the largest Eat teship It is 6 miles in length and has depth of thirty six feet Its width in the bottom 72 feet and the whole Is so strongly fortified that the fleets Of the Germans probably remain safely anchored there for ever.
 The land around the canal is also occupied by StrCng force so that an attack by land is out of the question:
