Ernest Thompson
 Seton Is Still a
 Subject of England

. Although he has lived so long on this side of the Atlantic that he is considered fuIl-f1edged American, Ernest Thompson Seton, artist, au- thor and naturalist is stiIlsa English man. He was born sfifty-five years ago today at South Shields, England, but came to America when he was six years old and spent the most inn questionable period of his life in the backwoods of Canada There he gain ed that love for the four-footed and winged friends of humanity that has since found expression in such works as Lives of the Hunted' ttThe Bio- graphy of a Grizzly and many other works dealing with birds and beasts. He was educated in Toronto and Lon don and then spent many years on the western plains and as official natur- alist to the government of Manitoba. It was while engaged in the latter ca-- pac1ty that he commneced his ca reer as an author by writing volun2As dealing with the mammals and birds of Manitoba. Some twenty-five years ago he was inspired with the ambition to gain the ability to illustrate his own works, and with the that end in view journey to Paris. where he spent several years in the study of art. As the fruit of this study and of his years in the forests and on the plains he published in 1896 a scientific work on AnaCO1I1y= or #An1InS1S.e some two years later he produced the first of those popular works which were destined to make his name a house hold word wherever animals are 1oV- ed. This was Wild Animals I Have Known and was an immediate sue cess. 'sThe Trail of the Sandhi1l Stag added to his reputation. and many similar works followed from his pen and brush. In 1896 MT. Seton mar ried Miss Grace GalIatin, of San Fran cisco, a newspaper woman who had contributed to the columns of the. press in Paris. New York and San Francisco, and who afterward be- came successful book designer.
 On his last visit to England MT. Se- ton told his countrymen that the peo- pie of the United States were neither pro-German nor pro-Al1ies, but just pro-Belgian. He expressed his view of the war in the language Of an America painter. who had engaged in an argument with a German art ist:
 .sY ou acan explain Britain: you can explain France; you can explain Rus sia But you cannot, and. you never will, explain Belgium. In Belgium you have hanged a milIstone around your necks that will sink you in the long run 9

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING

The first mountain climber to reach an altitude of -25,o0O feet was Miss Annie s. Peck, who broke all previous records by attaining the summit of Mount Huascaran. Peru, the highest peak of the western hemisphere, seven years ago today, August IA, 19o8. The previous record for mountain climb ing was held by W. w. Graham, who reached a height of 23, 800 feet in the I1imaIayas Miss Peck's first attempt to attain the heights of Huascaran failed on account of the cowardice of her guides, after height of 17,5O0 feet. In 1908 Miss Peck was accom- panied by Rudolph Tangwalder and Gabriel SZumta ngwaId, two famous Swiss guides, who suffered terribly from underestimating the cold and in consequence failing to, provide them selves with sufficient clothing. Tang walders was terribly frozen, and one of his feet. and all the fingers of one hand had to be amputated. Miss Peck was better provided with clothing, Sand escaped unscathed from the rigors of the terrible climb. The altitude attained by Miss Peck is 510,o 900 feet less than the highest ever reached by aeronautss

money is credit. and not actual

Pracl ically all classes in America
will profit by the transaction.
The transaction is almost as
much to our interest AS to that

stop the depreciation of gold, be-
cause OF the stoppage OF the food

necessity to our commerce that
we sell our products to the Allies
