ARTIFICIAL LEATHER
 COMES TO THE FRONT

The extraordinary increase of the number of motor cars has had a pe- culiar influence upon the artificial leather industry While not SO long ago artificial" leather was marketed under names suggesting Heather. and as sort of apology for the real thing" its extensive use on automo- bile tops. automobile upholstery and tool bags, has caused the manufac- turers to openly boast of the fact that their product is artificial. The reason for this change of heart is found in the custom of some uphols- tery makers of splitting" the COW hides into several thiclnesses. each of which is used as Heather" And the good service which the new water tight top materials give. is gradually working a change in the motoring public, to the extent that many peo. pie deliberately ask for artificial leather" tops and covers.

GERMAN NEWSPAPER
 PRAISES WILSON

BERLIN The National zeltung, publishes today leading article un- der the heading: "Wilson, Bryan and Roosevelt" which is noteworthy for ita friendly lone and for the un- grudging admiration expressed for President Wilson.
 The article says that discussions of the Arabic affair have been in quieter tones since Count Von Bern storff, the German ambassador at Washington presented his request to the American government to delay &C., ton until Germany has had the op- portunity of presenting its side. Ey- en the anti-German newspapers ad- mltted the justice of this request, tbe article says. and there is now no ob- stacle to friendly discussions of diff ferences.
 "The personality of President Will son has been illuminated more strong ly than before. "The National zei- tung says during the exciting days through which America has just pass ed. The President will appear to a great many in a new light Never was his position more difficult than dur ing the Arabic crisis, when Mir. Bry- an was calling on America for peace at any price, and Colonel Roosevelt was summoning them to war against Germany.
 Between TWO Rlvals
 President Wilson is pictured in the article as standing between the two rivals. whose activities threatened to bring about such a situation that the President might make his attitude to- ward Germany dependent on domestic political considerations.
 "That President Wilson withstood the temptation and may be counted up on to withstand it further must be acknowledged" tho newspaper says. notwithstanding tho fact that the German people certainly have reason to be dissatisfied with his attitude in the matter of submarine warfare"
 Mir. Wilson is characterized as a more clever politician than "the un- lucky Bryan and the astute Roose- velt"

To the casual observer things appear very good. and if there is or was ground for the accusations 1t must be uncovered by a thorough investigation conduct ed officially which by all means should be encouraged.
 After all is said, it is still a fact that Alaska's insane are under the contract system. the very existence of which should cause rebellion fin the heart of every true Alaskan.

JUDGE EXCUSES JUROR WHO WAS
 TO MEET BRIDE

RUBY. Aug. 21.- Last Monday, when the deputy marshals were find ing considerable difficulty in carry ing out Judge Bunnells order to pro- duce in court a special venire of twenty-four eligible jurymen. a young man was summoned who lost no time in appearing before the judge and asking to be excused.
 Judge Bunnelps countenance did not look assuring. but the young man relied on the merits of his cause and approached his honor with a show of confidence. He was Joe Hoxie, of Long City, and said that a young woman would arrive on the steamer Schwatka about midnight who would be awfully disappointed if he failed to meet her She had come all the way from the Outside just to marry him and he was anxious to meet his engagement.
 "You stand excused" |" said the Judge but don't you fail to be there when the boat comes"

Washington.-With the conspiracy
of the pro-German agents and sympa-
thizers in this country assuming ma
tional dimensions, William j. Flynn,
chief of the United States Secret Ser
vice, has been asked by Washington
to take complete charge OF the investi-
cation.
Chief Flynn has been instructed to
call upon any of the law enforcing
bodies of any of the subdivisions Of
the government to aid him when hs
shall deem it necessary. In this way
a good deal of red tape will be elm
mated and speedier results are ex-
pected to follow.
It was learned that Secret Service
men have been trailing, for weeks,
three men high in the diplomatic SER
vice of the Central Powers. To date
nothing of any serious nature has been
obtained against any of these three,
but information Of the most sensation
al nature has been lodged against
them, chiefly by Slavonic subjects Of
Austria-Hungary.
Thte facts disclosed in the intere.
view with Dr. Joseph Goricar, the for.
mer AustroH Hungarian consul at San
Francisco, published in the newspa.
pers, involving Count Won BernstorfP,
Consul General Won Nuber and other
high German and Austrian officials,
has long been in possession Of the
Secret Service men.

LondOn.-It is officially announced
that Winston Spencer Churchill, Chan

Join the army in France.
Churchill in his letter of resignation
explains that he agrees in the forma-
ton of small war council, and ap-
preciates the intention which Prime
Minister AsQuith expressed to in
cIude him among its members.
He foresaw the difficulties that the
Prime Minister would have to face in
its composition, he says. and he makes
no complaint because the scheme was
changed. but with that change his
work in the Government naturally
closed.
He asserts he could not accept a
position of general responsibility for a
war policy without any effective
share in its guidance and control, and
did not feel able in times like these
to remain in well-paid inactivity.
