Deputy Compensation Commissioner
Frank A. Tierney of Albany
Last May, Maxim Wasilieff was
quietly residing with his wife at
Mineville. receiving comfortable
salary from Witherbee-Sherman Co.,
for whom he was mine foreman. No
one seems to know just how the acct

night shift, Wasilieff was brought
to the surface fthe mine in dy

When the news of the fatality
reached the Chateaugay Ore & Iron

surance or other benefits being paid
to the woman with whom Wasilieh

to pronounce these names that three

The commissioner is in possession
of definite facts to show that the
deceased also had son living with
his first wife who is now residing

Thomas Hammond, superintendent

the matter up and addressed several

impatient at the long delay Of a Gus
toner in settling his accounts with
him, he said at last to his young
clerk: Write to that man and tell
him that I can wait no %longer!"
"What shall I write to him?" the
young man asked. The merchant was
hurried and answered GROSSLY and
without thought: Something or
nothing, and that SOON" In a few
days a check came from the delin-
quent, paying the entire amount of
his Indebtedness. Surprised, the mer-
chant asked his clerk: What did

A Small Order.

Trade was bad, very bad; and Mr..
Buggins, the chief grocer of the dis
trict, found his takings becoming
smaller every day. All his old us
toners seemed to be leaving the
neighborhood, and no new ones ar
irving. Even old Mrs. Robinson, to
whom the firm of Buggins had sup
piled the necessaries of life for many
years, had not been neal the shop
for weeks.
One morning, however, she again
entered the door, and Mr.. Buggins,
delighted, fastened to attend to het
in person.
"And what may | get for you to-
day." he inquired.
"a cents worth Of SOAP" came the
reply.
Mr.. Buggins' face was wonderfully
expressive of outraged feelings; so
was his answer
"a cents worth of soap" he re-
torted. Certainly, l suppose you'll
be washing the canary this after

O Pat Got Even.

Pat was over in England working
with his coat off. There were two
Englishmen laboring on the same
railroad, so they decided to have a
joke with the Irishman. They painted
a donkey's head on the back of Pats
coat, and watched to see him put it
on. Pat, of course, saw the donkey's
head on his coat, and, turning to the
Englishmen, said: Which of yez

llNGuISTS IN WAR TIME.

One of the interesting sidelights on the European situation Is the adyan- tage which the Germans enjoy because of their ability to speak foreign lan- Fuages with more proficiency than the allies In dispatch to the London Standard an English airman is quoted as saying that one of the greatest needs of the allies i. interpreters for both the French and British troops
 He tells of his own shortcomings In this respect:
 T regard the inexhaustable supply of men who know local languages as one of the chief factors of German eff Ificiency in the war. The allies need get. and are suffering for lack of them. Very few British officers and hardly
 any soldiers speak even seryieeable French. Over and over again I have myself been deliberately misled by ap- parent peasants who felt sure. were German spies"
 The average German is far better linguist than the average Frenchman or Englishman. Tn measure this is due to the thoroughness of German educational methods. but it also is due 10 the fact that Germans who settle in foreign countries associate with the native inhabitants and assimilate their methods of thought and ways of doing business, whereas the Englishman
 holds himself aloof. and the French man prefers the company of those who can speak French and thus relieve him of the necessity of learning another tongue
 II has aften been pointed out that. no matter to what part of the British Empire an English oficial may be sent. he will find a little England awaiting him, with cricket or polo grounds handy. and most of the social customs and distinctions just the same as at home Yet it is generally admitted that the Englishman has made an ad- mirable colonizer, usually much su- perior to the German. Why is this?
 strange as it may seem, the Eng lishman's very refusal to master a for eign language has made him keep from Incoming intimate with the subject races, and the result has been that his aloofness has endowed the native peo- pies with feelings of awe and respect. Journal

NOME, ALASKA, JUNE ?, 1915.

Now that Italy has definitely cast her lot on the side of war, the probab- ility that she may, as Is surmised, withdraw from the mighty contest after regaining the possessions wrested from her by Austria in former en- counters, seems but remote possi- bility save in the event that Austria is completely overwhelmed beneath the resistless tide of foes which are al- ready clutching at her throat and threatening to tear her down. This doubt that the very conditions which led Italy into the struggle will force continuance of her warlike activities until the Austrian is either returned victorious as the ally of the mighty German nation or is a bleeding and dismembered wreck crushed beneath the overwhelming weight of nations. IL must be remembered that it was the Italian people, and by their wish and will, that the nation plunged into the throes of conflict The animating i'm pulse of the people was in every way akin 10 that which has so long filled the hearts and minds of the people of the French nation. namely. the desire 10 regain the territory wrung from among the national possessions by a dominating foe in former days
 Although little known outside the national boundaries, this desire is one that the Italian people have long hug sed to their breast as dearly as have the French looked forward to the day that they should witness the return of the coveted provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. To Italy the retention of Istria by Austria, as the eliminating act of a long string of usurpations prior to the formation of the present kingdom of Italy and especially dur ing those days of tense struggle after the treaty of Vienna had handed over to Austria the destinies of the several iidiidii Stdtts, iids never DetI IoTElNtn and the scars left by the galling Aus tfian yoke have resulted in a hatred of the Hapsburg monarchy deep seated and historic. Therefore. not only does Istfia and it's great port of Trieste re- present 10 the Italians what Alsace- Lorraine does to the French. but back of the desire to regain the possession of those coveted territories is an in- born hatred of the Austrians which cannot be dissipated from the minds of the Italian people save by the com plete humbling of their hereditary foe. The spontaneous cry of the people of Italy for a share in the great fight of the allies against the Austrians is but

CHINA BECOMES HEAVY
PRODUCER OF ANTHONY

HANKOW, China, Sept. Is. - AS
a result of the interruption of Ger
mar industries. China has unexpect-
eddy become the chief producer of
antimony and Hankow is China's
chief antimony center.
Before the war there was one an
timony plant in Hankow and it was
not operated . Now it is working
and two otherss have been establish
ed. More than half of the 40, 900
tons of antimony required by the
world last year wax produced in Chi
ma. chiefly in Hankow. The price
of the metal is uncertain at all
times and is now three times as
great as before the opening of the
war.
Anthony is chiefly used in peace
times by the printing trade. \
slight amount of the metal is neces-
sary in making type. 1t is also re-
quired in treating lead for use in
ammunition, but the proportion de-
manded is very slight. Ore from
which antimony may be obtained is
available in several parts of China,
but in ordinary times the amount of
the metal necessary to supply tho
world is not sufficient to justify big
operations.
