| Captain Bartlett has informed the
Canadian government Of the rescue
of the men, and providing the neces-
sary Arrangements can be made.
/ the revenue cutter Bear will take
the men TO Esquimalt. Vancouver
island. the British naval station in
western Canada.
There are twelve persons aboard
who were rescued from the island
all that remained OF the twentyfour
men excluding Captain Bartlett who
had made his way out over the
ice. OF the crew of the Karluk which
was crushed by the ice last winter.
Those aboard were scientist W. l..

Monroe; second engineer. B. viii

assistant steward, Ernest Chefe;
fireman. F. w Maurer: seaman. H.
Williams: John Hedley. who had
been taken aboard by the Karluk at
Point Barrow and native. his wife
and two children. who had also been
taken aboard at Point Barrow.
TWO SCIENTISTS DIE.
Three OF the party Of fifteen who
were on the island died, two during
May and the third during June.
These were scientists B. Mamen and
G. S. Pollock. who died Of Bright's
disease. which often is brought on
from cold and exposure. and fire
man George Bradley, who accidentally
shot himself while out hunting and
died from the wound
There were eight others who were
left after the sinking Of the Karluk
but these had gone out over the ice
and were not heard Of at the time
of Captain Bartlett's trip to Siberia
nor has anything been heard from
them since. and it is thought they
have persisted. These eight had gone
forth over the ice in two parties
of four each from the place where
the supplies from the Karluk had
been piled on the ice.
The first expedition, consisting of
first officer A. E, Anderson. second
officer Chas Barker and seamen
Brady and King. left over the ice
with instructions to establish
base after reaching Wrangell island,
to which the rest Of the party would
later make their way. However.
nothing has ever been heard from
them since, and whether they were
lost in the storms or persisted from
exposure is unknown.

a short time afterward consisting

SENDING OF DOCTORS AND
NURSES TO WAR ZONE
EXPLAINED

Literary Digest: The sailing OF
the steamer Red Cross for Europe,
with its cargo of thirty doctors and
one hundred and twenty-five nurses,
bears witness, as the New York Sun
remarks. that our solicitude is for
those who suffer and our neutrality
not the product of Indifference Il
is the beginning of Americas prac-
teal response to dispatches telling
how the demands made upon the
European Red Cross have already
run far beyond its resources both
in funds and nurses. The Red Cross
is the transformed Hamburg. which
was given to the American Red
Cross organization for this use b.
the Hamburg American line She
sails under the American flag, with
American officers and crew Her
commander is Capt. Armistead Rust
ries. in addition to the surgeons and
nurses, an immense quantity of hos
pital supplies and equipment for use
in the field, she is not fitted out
with wards and operating rooms In
other words, she Is not a hospital
ship, and it is explained that the
only circumstances In which she
would receive wounded on board
would be in case she encountered
a naval battle. The medical staff
is under the command of Major
Robert U. Patterson, United States
Army Medical sarvioe. and the nurses
are under Miss Helen Scott Hay.
of Chicago In a statement to the
press Miss Mabel T. Boardman, head
of the executive committee of the
American organization, gives the fol
lowing additional information:

me to enumerate all the stores We

Red Cross.
IF this war lasts as long as some
authorities say that it will. We shall
have to send many more expeditions

the force going on the Red Cross,
we are sending a single unit Of three
surgeons and twelve nurses to Ser
via on the Ioannina, Of the Greek
line, next week. They will go by
way of Piraeus and Salonika."
According to the Kansas City Star
there are 5000 trained nurses in
this country who are members of
the American Red Cross society.
each of them pledged to service in
any part Of the world when called.
dn the Kansas City paper We read
further:

HOW NURSES ENLIST.

In times of peace the nurses of
the Red Cross pursue their own
course. They are in hospitals, in
private service, teaching in training.
schools. When they enlist they
pledge themselves to the service Of
the Red Cross. They get no pay
from the society until called out,
then the pay is $50 a month for
service in this country, $50 month
if sent outside of the country
The pay is small enough for the
risks they run and the hard work
they do. In battle they will be
in danger of bullets and bursting
shells. and their days and nights
will be filled with uncertainty. fatigue
and nervous strain. There will be
little of romance in the work, with
its long lines Of sufferers, with
limbs shot away crushed heads,
torn bodies, lips that babble in deli
rum.
when the American Red Cross
volunteers get to Europe they will
be assigned for duty with the medi.
cal staffs Of different armies, where
the European head of the society
decides their services are most need
ed. They will go to the front at
once, and within two or three weeks
will be in the thick Of the fighting.
In Germany and in France the
Red Cross is officially recognized
and is placed under the direct mill
tary control. In England, while it
co-operates in every detail with the
Army Medical Corps, the Red Cross
preserves its own organization in
tact In Germany, the volunteer Or
ganization is presided over by an
imperial commission or inspector

People for Loyal Support
I cannot express in words my graft
tude to the people of North Dakota
who have so unselfishly made my vic
tory possible. Not only is it victory
for myself and friends but time will
prove that it is a victory for the COM
mon people and blow to the sinister
influence of corporations, trusts, and
machine politicians.
I most heartily thank my friends for
their splendid support, and I believe
that the overwhelming vote given me
indicates that my work in congress
meets with their approval. I pledge
myself to continue my work in the in
terest of the people, and with their CO.
operation I hope to be able to manifest
my faithfulness and loyalty to the
cause of justice and freedom for
American citizenship.
Very truly yours,

We would call out the Army with

But he is only merry insect which
tickles our nose and wipes his feet on

he does not appeal to our sense of
danger.
Yet, in all sincerity, I say to you
that the little Fly that we know is
more dangerous, is far more to be
feared as he is, than if he were as big
as horse; he does more harm with
his countless millions than would 1000
monsters of legend if they invaded our
midst.
The monsters we would see and kill,

therein the venom of disease.

EVIL ALWAYS IN IDLENESS
Much Truth In Japanese Proverb,
Which Should Read the Same
In All Languages.

There is an excellent proverb, which
has been handed down to one genera
tion after another of Japanese. 1t
ought to be In every language. 1t
runs thus: "To do nothing is to do
evil" Perhaps 1t is this which makes
the Jap so busy. 1t is very hard to
catch. him doing nothing. Even his
social intercourse Is filled with things
to do. There is infinite bowling and
scraping and bending double before a
friend is properly greeted or tea is
properly served. But the proverb may
not be compelled to work so far as
the Japanese make it work in order
to do good. 1t is a question whether
the wise of this country realize as
they might, and as the wise should.
how evil X Is t. be idle. 1t IS this
which leads the children of the city
into mischief. The house ere so close
together that they have lost the
chores which were once theirs. The
chores are done out on the farms or
by the city. 1t Is idleness which Is
the curse of the rich and of tho poor.
Yet 1t is idleness which seems to be
the great desire of the individual OF
our nation. In desiring 1t they desire
evil and they do not realize what 1t is

Not Unlike People.

A noted naturalist states that one
of the strongest of animal instincts Is
that of blind nger, the venting OF

bears "act as some boys do on rainy

finish none, and then sit down as II

ALL COUNTRIES LEVIED ON
Entire World Contributes to the Max
Ing Of the Famous Biscuits
Of America.

From Zanzibar, East Africa, the
biscuit man buys his cloves. Mace
comes from the faraway Straits Set
Elements of India and Makassar in
the Dutch East Indies. Figs are
gathered in California and in the
groves of Turkey. Many green acres
of California and of Greece yield their
supply of currants. Cinnamon Is
gathered in the East Indies: ginger
roots from Cochin China, and from
Jamaica in the West Indies. From
Jamaica also is gathered the allspice.
From Trinidad In the West Indies and
from South America comes the cocoa.
Citron comes from Italy and Spain.
From the ancient groves of Italy the
extracts of lemon and Of orange are
procured.
The rugged hills and fertile valleys
of Spain yield their almonds; walnut
meats come from France. Fflberts
come from Turkey and Spain, and
grated pineapple from the Hawaiian
islands. From Ceylon. the San Bias
coast of Panama, Trinidad, Porto
Rico, Jamaica, Russian and Saint An
drews are gathered the cocoanuts.
Nuts of finest quality come from the
coast of British Honduras.
America furnishes the other. and
indeed, the chief ingredients of the
biscuit, for from our own country
come the cheese, lard, eggs and but
ter, pecans, honey, fruits and jellies,
and also the molasses and sugar; and
miles and miles of yellow fields OF
grain yield the kernels of wheat.

Saved the Children,

Our class was held on the third flooi
of an old wooden school building. One
afternoon another boy and myself
scattered some snuff in the air before
the afternoon session began. When
the professor began talking to his as.
sistant they were seized with a fit of
sneezing, bobbing their heads toward
each other in g most ludicrous fash
ion. The students howled with laugh
ter when they were not sneezing.
Finally the professor managed to
get his breath long enough to ques'
ton the class and all but we two
guilty boys were dismissed.
He took us to his Office and while
we were there-about twenty minutes
later-fire was discovered in the build.
ing. We got out with difficulty and
the school was burned to the ground.
From an angry man the professor
became deeply thankful and he has
since maintained that we boys were
the instruments of fate. for the build.
ing burned so rapidly that there
would have been great danger If all
