KING STABBED BY OUEEN.
 SAYS NEW YORK PAPER

NEW YORK, July 6,-The Tribune pub lines a cablegram from Paris which says:
 "The punctured pIeurisy region in the lobes of the lungs, from which King Con- stantine of Greece is now recovering, is due, according to statement made to the Tribune correspondent by the diplomatic representative of 8 neutral power, to 3 tragic episode that occurred in April during g heated discussion between the king and his consort, Queen Sophia.
 "A very animated conversation, it is stated, took place in the kings library one evening, during which the queen, whose occasional outbursts of impetuous temper are well known to all about her, seized d sharp-pointed metallic paper knife and, scarcely realizing what she was about to do. being carried away by her hot temper, plunged the paper cutter into her husbands side
 "Thc blade, according to the Tribune cor respondents informant, pierced the pleura and grazed the lower lobe of the Hng's lung The truth was hushed up and the king gallantly attributed to influenza the pIeu1isy that set in owing to the wound

FLAT (;I'I'Y' FALL LGAI1l|lIIE;SS

Two weeks ago eight alleged baseball play CTS of Iditarod Sallled forth to the town of Flat and in loud voice challenged all who dared to come forth and meet them on the diamond arena opposite town After some hesitation. an aggregation were gotten to- gether with varied professional baseball eN- perience. took up the gauntlet, and in few minutes the game Was on.
 No one knows what happened, nor how, but it is believed that our players from Iditarod were waylald, ambushed, trapped and otherwise manhandled by overwhelming odds, and escaped only with their lives after going through one of the hardest fought en- gagements known to baseball It Was their first attempt of the season, and our boys were in no ways discouraged. being beaten only by q score of 4S to s.
 During the following week Frank stanley, the feed man of Flat caused it to be whiS- pered around that if that aggregation from Idtarod could be prevailed upon to come to Flat again, he would treat the winners royalty, and produced from no one knows where a watermelon of gigantic plopor- tions, which he said would go to the win ners of the next baseball game
 Accordingly, the word was passed along to Iditarod- watermelon. That was enough The Iditarod team were bound to have that watermelon. They alleged they would eat

WILD BEAST IS LOOSE"
 SAYS METROPOLITAN PAPER
(New York Tribune, May 12)

Let no German mistake the temper of the American people Let no German, high or low, misunderstood the new vision that has come to the citizens of the United States in the days in which they have stood be side their murdered fellow w-citizens Whether we now join in the war, whether we now draw our own sword, hencefor'h until the destruction of those who today dominate Germany and shape her policies, the Amer- can people will look upon the nations who are fighting the Germans in Chapmagne and Flanders as their allies. They will hope and pray for their success; they will many mil lions of them, feel only regret that no American soldiers are in those lines doing Americas part in the battle to defend civil lzatiOn.
 For let no one now mistake the fact. 4 wild beast is loose in the world, creature combining the fcrocity of the animal with the lust of the degenerate human. The sjrug gle is not struggle between nations; 1t IS battle between civilization ard barbarian. German victory would mean the destruction of all that we in America hold to be the best and the noblest in our own national life What Germany strikes at Is the right of men 10 lead their own lives live accord ing to their own will and in the pursuit of that happiness which OUT constitution de clares is their right

nothing on the day of the game, nor there after until they had disposed of that water melon There is no telling to what eX- tremes some people will go to get water melon.
 All the mayors of lditarod, past and pres ent were appealed to Admiral Lowe of the river feet Captain Ray Henderson and the various merchants of the town were ap- preached All responded promptly. They even secured the services of lawyer Com nittees were appointed to devise ways and means to secure that watermelon, and reso lutions were adopted to go forth and battle for that watermelon.
 Sunday last was the day set and two spe ciaI trains took our players and enthusiasts over to the diamond It is rumored that while en route the services of the engineer and pilot of the train were secured, either by threats or promises, as umpire of the game. These offensive rumors are di>cred- ited however,
 The people of Flat evidently were equally determined to have that watermelon for they had imported several big league play CTS, notably George Mutchler, star pitcher Dr Auringer from New York several other doctors and professional men being in at tendance at the game.
 At the end of the first inning the score was to l in favor of the all professional Flat creek team, and it looked as if our boys would go hungry, but with desperation born of necessity they brought into play all the force and cunning at their command and with the aid of that star twirler, George Fay, they soon tied the score and steadied down until at the end of the first half of the eighth inning the score was 10 to 10, and Iditarod to bat.
 It was here that the work of the lawyer came in. Having failed to negotiate hit during the entire game he was first to bat in this inning, and talked the pitcher into giving him base on balls (evidently through sympathy, and having got to first, he stole all the rest of the bases, by and with the aid of Admiral Love- who aided and abetted and boosted him along to the home plate while the Flat creek team played tag around the diamond Thus the watermelon was won, and then devoured, and the glory of Iditarod sustained

LIVES OF GERMAN CREW
 SAVED BY SUBMARINE

LONDON, June 30 For the first time since the commencement of the submarine blockade of the British isles the Germans have picked up the survivors of vessel sunk by their torpedoes. This seeming ten dencv to manifest an unusual humanity is accounted for, however, by tho fact that the persons so delivered were GermanS who partially composed the crew of the Nor, wegian ship Cambuskenneth, which sailed from Portland, Ore, for Liverpool and was sunk by the German submarine U-39 near the entrance to St. Georges channel today. No lives were lost in the attack, and aside from the eight members of the crew taken aboard the submarine, all of whom were German subjects, the remainder thirteen in all. were landed in safety-A.

MEAT FAMINE IN DISTRICT
 ENDED BY BARGE'S ARRIVAL

The steamer M L. Washburn arrived at Dikeman at p. m. on Monday last, with the cold storage company's barge Lithgow and small passenger list She left up the river with the barge at 4 80 p. m., but was obliged to put back owing to low water. Ten tons of fresh meats were transferred to the Transit and brought to the city, arriving here Tuesday night, thus relieving the meat shortage.
 It is probable that no attempt will be made to bring the barge further up the river until the water is considerably higher than at present.

PROHIBITION LAW VALID
 III STATE OF WASHINGTON

OLYMPIA, Wash, July 28-Judge D. F. Wright of the Thurston county superior court today decided that the state prohibl- ton law is valid The liquor interests i'm mediately will appeal to the supreme court, and the hearing will come up in October.
 The case in which the Judgment of the court was rendered today was that of M. &
 K. Gottsteln of seattle against | M. Howell secretary of state and others, to prevent them from declaring the statewide prohi-
 bition law passed by the people in 1914 to
 be in effect The case was submitted to Judge Wright on June 16, and by him taken
 under consideration. The arguments occu-
 pied three days, and six attorneys partici- pated Attorneys Harold Preston. George Donworth and Dudley G. Wooten, all he Seattle. appeared for the plaintiffs Attor- ney General Tanner Attorney l.. L. Powell of Seattle and Attorney L. L. Thompson of the attorney generals office appeared in de fense of the validity of the prohibition act.
 The argument of the attorney general was
 confined strictly to the question of the au-
 thority of the governor or other officials of
 the state government to declare the pro
 hbition act to be constitutional so far aS its
 submission to the voters was concerned. His
 contention was that the only subject for dis
 cussion was the constitutionahty of the pro hibiton act itself, SO far as its puTported regulation of the Equor traffic was con cerned whereas the attorneys for the plaintiffs laid the greatest stress upon the alleged unconstitutionaHty of the initiative amendment to the constitution and the al | Ieged illegal methcI in which the Prohib tion act was submitted to the voters ia 1914.
 Attorney John H, Powell of Seattle, rep reenting the Anti-Saloon League, took a
 prominent part in the argument. He con tended that the constitution had been com r-linA .....L
