San Francisco, July 21.-Alber ert,
king of the Belgians, while making

International Association of Rotary
Clubs
Chapple introduced Prince Albert
to President Mckinley "and as the tall
blue-eyed boy looked into his gentle
face there was revealed the joy OF
an acquaintance" he said.
When the bugles sounded at Liege
and flashed to the world the news of
invasion and destruction" said Chap

nation in phraseology that never has
been used by kings, ancient or mod
ern. 1t began My Fellow Citizens
The impact with democracy had
ripened into action, and on the banks

solitary figure of the king who. I be-
lieve. will be ready to hand back his

Representatives Of the British and
French governments, it is stated, are
in the country endeavoring to pur-
chase S2,000,00O worth of wooden
goods suitable for winter army use,
for which they are prepared to pay
cash in New York and assume all the
risks of delivery. The uncertainty as
to whether our mills can handle the
order, emphasizes the necessity of at
once placing this country on an alb
solutely independent commercial bas-
is. The mills are there, the operatives
are willing to work, but there is no
wool to be made into clothing.
The scarcity of wool is due to the
fact that ever since the democrats
carried the election of 1912, owners of
sheep, knowing beforehand that a
low tariff was coming, have been
turning their sheep into mutton as
fast as they could. The British gov
eminent, which is anxious to buy the
wooden goods, refuses to let us get a
pound of wool from any British pos
session.
Whether the wool manufacturers
will be able to fill this $2,000,000 or
der remains to be seen, but one thing
is certain, and that is with a settled
