 OF EUROPE'S GREAT WAR

New York Dispatch to the Washington
 Post
 Count Johann von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador to @the United States. who was in Berlin on leave of absence at the breaking out of the war who arrived in New York Monday on the Noordam, brought a batch of War news from Berlin, including a host of denials of so-called facts which reached this country from sources un- friendly to the Germans
 According to the German ambassa- Cor the German crown prince is not wounded, General Won Emmich did not commit suicide, Lege was captured by 5000. not by 5O,000 Germans; the Goe- ben and Breslau have not been sold to Turkey, the British embassy in Der lin was not destroyed by a mob, and the only German socialists who have been shot met their death bravely vhile facing the enemy.
 In the way of positive information Count Bernstorff reports the abandon nent of Poland by the Russians and the establishment of a government by Oiioh oAAitidio dt w di SdW anu tue presence in Germany of some 2S,O0O Americans who are being sent out ot the country on special trains under government supervision as fast as ar engagements can be made.

 At the outbreak of the war he con- tiEued, "the English cut the cable to this neutral country for the sole pur- p.se of preventing the truth from com | ing here.

But I be- lieve Amerieans will prove themselves fair enough to weigh carefully all the news that comes from English and French sources.

from his sister, Amy, who has been
residing on a claim near Siletz, Ore,
for the past six years, to the effect
that she has finally obtained filing
on the claim and that there now
seems to be little doubt but that she
will get it.
The claim was filed upon many
years ago and patented to a man
who later sold for $4,000. There
was some irregularity or fraud a.
bout the filing and Miss Hall hap
pened to learn about it ami estab-
lished a residence on the place and
began a contest. The contest has
been in progress ever since and the
matter has been before the COM
missioner, the department. of the in.
terror and the courts.
T, F. Mackmiller, who purchased
the property OF the Iron River
Water. Light & Power Company at
sheriff's sale couple of months
ago, has organized new company
to take over the prop erty under the
name of the Iron River Water,
Light & Telephone Company. The
officers are: T: F. Mackmiller, presi-
dent and general manager; Alvina
Mackmiller. vice-president; and
Lillian Ell. Callaghan, secretary and
treasurer.

town Of Gable. Supervisor Flanders,

glad to see. Talking after tea In the
library, Emerson said: Il want to tell
you about q friend in Germany. His
name 1 cannot remember and he
moved to and fro uneasily in his effort
to recall It. This friend with whom
we have taken tea tonight, whose
name also I cannot remember'-here
again came a distressed look at the
failure of his faculty-T cannot re-
member his name either, but he can
tell you of this German friend whose
name 1 have also forgotten

down Of a great spirit and his agita-

see, it was only the memory that was
going. The intellectual strength was
still apparent, and the amiability or
his spirit was perhaps even more man.

A DVERTISING pays. Ev-

fair dealing and for business
honesty. 1T is WICKED TO

FOOLISH. Just think how
extremely foolish 1t would be
to pay for advertising space
in which to spread false

Merchants know that their

know that to make their adj
