Sold by Spain to Germany.

With the exception of Guam. all the
islands in this group were sold by SPAN
to Germany in 1899 and form part OF a
government district of German New
Guinea.
1t was announced from Toxic OCTOBER
6 that the Japanese squadron delegated
to destroy the German fleet in the
South seas had landed bluejackets on
Jaluit Island, the seat of government
in the Marshall Archipelago, which was
annexed by Germany in 1886. The Mar
shalls are in the south Pacific, about
midway between the Philippines and
Hawaii Jaluit Island is thirty-elght
miles long and twenty-five miles wac.

Island of zap Seized.
According to a German news agency
dispatch received in Picking October Z,
Japanese forces had occupied the Island
Of zap, the most. important island In
the Caroline group. east of the Philip
pines in the Pacific ocean. 1t was de-
clared later in Toxic that this report
was without confirmation. zap is due
east of the Island of Mindanao in the
Philippines and distant about 1000
miles. It is about $50 miles southwest
of Guam.
October the Japanese embassy was
quoted as saying that the seizure of
the Island OF zap was only one de-
velopment in the general plan agreed
upon by the British and Japanese to
seize all of the German naval stations
in the Pacific. This was regarded as
necessary, it was explained to ter
inmate the activities of the German
cruisers which have inflicted serious in
jury upon British commerce.
zap has a large military Importance
because it is a relay station of the
German cable lines in the far east, one
line running north to Shanghai and the
other southeast to Borneo and Java.
A few months ago powerful German
wireless station was opened on the
island

order for a suspension of the attack
The German troops then pushed IN
through the girdle of inner posts and
past the undefended city wall, finding
that the retiring garrison had blown
up the bridge across the River Scheldt
and also had interposed a belt of flame
against the invaders by firing the oil

Antwerp is a dead city. The populace
has fed and the streets are deserted.
Many of the houses which were de-
molished by the German shell fire are
still smoking. Scenes of devastation
are to be witnessed in the warehouse
district along the river bank. In addi-
ton to wrecked buildings, piles of

contents strewn about the streets. Mil

SWEAR FIDELITY TO KAISER.
Double Oath Said to Be Required of
Austrian Soldiers.

LONDON, October 20.-A Rome dis
patch to the Central News says:
According to advices from Trieste all
the new Austrian soldiers are required
to take the oath of fidelity to the German
emperor as we'll as to the Austrian en-
peror.
From Trieste it is reported also that
insurrectionary bands are swarming in
all parts of the Austrian empire, especial
ly in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Hungary,
Croatia, Slavonia and Pennsylvania. The
attitude of the Slav troops forming the
garrisons at Pola and Sebenico is said
to be menacing, and disaffection is re-
ported on the ships of the Austrian fleet,
whose crews are made up in part of
Slavs and Italians.

RUSSIA PLEDGES FAITH
TO HER ALLY IN WAR
Minister of Foreign Affairs Denies
There Is Any Considerable
Anti-British Sentiment.

PETROGRAD, October 20. via London.
M. Sazonoff, the Russian minister of
foreign affairs. today, in statement
to the Associated Press, clearly defined
Russia's attitude toward the allies and
her stand against Germany. The state
ment, NJ. Sazonoff said, was made be-
cause of attempts by the reactfonary
party in Russia to create discord and
awaken anti-English sentiment.
Recent avowals by this small element
as reflected in few reactionary Jour
nails, NJ. Sazonoff declared, went SO far
as to compliment Emperor William and
luded exultingly to the fall Of Antwerp
versely criticized England by stating
that she was getting other countries
to fight her battles, and also plainly
forecast an Anglo-Russian rupture.
Sentiment Century Old.
This small German element" said
M. Sazonoff, sis wholly unrepresenta-
tive of Russia and negligible as far as
Russian policy is concerned. Their
ideas date back as far as 1915. Totally
ignorant of foreign politics, they are
still under the sentiment of a century
ago and are maliciously but vainly at
tempting to SOW discord between the
allies by insinuating against England.
Once. for all the world ought to
be warned against taking seriously the
efforts of this ill-advised minority or
allowing this small element made in
Germany to spread abroad their at
tempts to shake the good faith between
England and Russia.

drew IL and cursed Viciously. Five
others followed. 1t came the turn of
Ramon. With his usual Difference and
timidity he approached the bag, put
in his hand and drew out-blank!
There was dead silence except
for low murderous hiss from the lips
of Bad Glib. Then the bluff, hearty
Dan grasped one hand Of the aston
ished but delighted Ramon, in honest
congratulation and placed the won
derful gem in the palm of the other.
1t was only for very few hours
that Ramon enjoyed his opulent pos
session. The glittering eyes of Bad
Glib followed him every move he
made. He shuddered when he met
that metallic gleam-probing, men
acing. Still more distraught the poor
native became when it was announc-
ed that they would trek in a body to
the nearest river settlement, then
they would break up, each man go
ing his own way. -'
Ramon realized that it was not
within the range of possibility that he
would reach Cape Void, the first met
ropolitan safety point in the district.
Sure was he that it had become the
one motive of life with the sanguinarS
scoundrel, Bad Glib, to trail him step
by step, to catch the critical moment
and despol him of his lawful posses
sion, the Rajah.
There were others in the group who
coveted the precious gem, but border
honor was sacred with them While
they were needless as to the security
of Ramon, they would not deliberate
ly set a plot to rob him. He must,
however, protect himself. They ig-
nored and forgot him and his prince
ly possession.
Ramon sought Big Ben at dusk. He
led him aside, Bad Glib watching his
every movement, was glowering at
him darkly from a near distance.

ed Ben bluffly. I
"I cannot hope it," asserted Ramon, !
dolefully. my friend, see-I musti
carry It about with me. dare not
hide it, for he is watching me-"
. Ramon drew out a chamois bag and
shook it. AS he restored it to his
bosom the eyes of the observing Glib
shone like two living Goals of fire. .
eff you would do something fors
me-" suggested Ramon plaintively.
See, friend" and he held up a
knobbed club. 1t was of some hard
forest wood, hacked by usage and
blackened by time. All of the camp
knew of this souvenir Of the father of
Ramon, who had beena native chief.
1t was war club, sacredly treasured
by the son. ,..&.z
"You will reach Cape Void in safe
ty," Ramon resumed. FIf perchance
Burridge has reached there, or my
mother, or you find only those of my
kin, give them this family memento."
Sure, WILL acquiesced Ben, will
ingly, but casually. Don't giye3up,
Ramon. Light out. You know all the
trails. You ought to be able to slip
Bad Glib.
That night Ramon stole away from
the camp. Within an hour Bad Glib
was also missing. Big Ben shook his
head gravely.
Amonth later to day Ben arrived
at Cape Void. A surprise greeted him,
for he found Burridge there, and in.
the same little hotel, being ?nursed
under his direction, the mother of
Ramon.
Burridge told vivid story of how
he had come across the outcast wo-
man in the wilderness, nearly starved
and in delirium. He took the war
club. The next morning he gave it to
the sick woman.
