and weirdest | ever endured.
You, who have read the novel of
Harold MacGrath, will recall that the
principal scenes in THE Carpet From
Bagdad' are laid in the great Arabian
Desert, and some of the principal
characters are Arabs; SO Mr.. Colin
Campbell, in making his arrangements
for appropriate properties, bought a
lot of real and most interesting Ara.
bian trappings, including those Won
derfully striped tents, bales and bales
Of beautiful rugs, camel harness, those
peculiar Arab guns so beautifully in
laid with mother-of-pearl and studded
with Jewels, great water Jars, etc. The
garments made in Arabia especially
for those who were to participate in
The Carpet From Bagdad' were sup.
Piled In ample quantities, so that we
could look the part and be presented
to the world as the genuine article.
From the big Selig Jungle-Zoo out
at Eastlake, in Los Angeles, Mr.. Camp
bell made q requisition for about
twenty camels. You can just imagine
q man writing a requisition on a slip
Of paper just as though It were for
twenty papers Of pins, or twenty ar.

fitted in exactly the same manner as
though they were to- make a journey
across the real Arabian Desert.
I guess that there IS really very little
difference in the Arabian Desert and
our own American Desert. At any
rate the Arabian Desert cannot be any
worse. There are miles and miles Of
soft sand into which the feet sink and
when there is ever the slightest wind,
the clouds Of sand circulate about
moving figures and almost suffocate
one.
We moved out into the desert with
our caravan completely equipped as
though we going to cross a real
big desert in earnest. There were the
strings Of camels with their long,
scrawny necks bedizened with tinkling
bells and made gay by strips and
steamers Of gay colored cloths. we
had real Arabs to handle the camels
and those who rode on horseback had
genuine Arab horses Of the very finest
breed.

ALL MUST BEAR THlIE BURDEN
Children, Il They Are to Be Strong
and SsafReItant, Have to Learn
That Fact.

On the lower deck Of one Of our
river packets a little pile Of pig Iron
was carried on the trip up the river.
and when the cargo vas unloaded the
pig iron was not removed, but was car
ried again on the trip down the river.
When the reason was asked, the an
swer was given, ''She travels steadfer
when she carries a weight" And this
is true of men and women. The world
has little use for the young man or
woman who has no furrow Of thought.
and no wrinkle Of responsibility. And
We are not kind to our own children
when we seek continually to shield
them from the hard things Of life. We
may wish to spare them some Of our
own hard experiences. but II they are
to be strong and self-reliant they must
reach 1t by putting themselves under
the burden, and FEELING the pressure OF
some Of the difficult things In life. You
want your boy to be strong and man,
ly; you must push him OF the plank,
that he may learn Of himself to swim.
Every man shall bear his own bur.

Arabian Nights Tale.
1t looked like a tale out OF the
Arabian Nights when our caravan
started cross the desert. The pierre

all enveloped our heads and faces in
the voluminous folds OF Arab cloths.

Through the thoughtfulness of Mr..

VERY LITTLE FIGHTING
 IN WESTERN THEATRE. Allies in France and Flanders Still Reported to be Awaiting
 Munitions.

AMSTERDAM, August 5.-Al- though the fighting between the Brit ish and Germans is still proceeding fercely around the Ypres salient nc definite results have been reported. If any advantage has been gained by either side nothing has leaked out. The allied forces are said by travellers from Belgium to be yet without an adequate supply of ammunition or munitions of any sort and this causes the delay in the expected offensive al though the Teutons will never Dr months be so badly in need of main taining large forces in tLe east as at present. Some slight fighting was reported last night in the Arras and Soissons districts but it was on'y of the artillery exchange and sniping order.

WASHINGTON, August 5.-The state department announced today that the German government had re- fused to concede that the sinking of the steamer Frye was a violation of international rights but that they are willing to pay for the loss of the yes sel and cargo and an indemnity for the American lives lost when the yes sel was sunk. The American govern ment may accept the German view provided such acceptance is not a violation of American treaty rights. It is thought Secretary Lansing will announce his decision within few days, after a thorough discussion of the note by the president and cabinet

GROUND ALL STAKED.'

Charles J. Keon, of Marshall City, in letter to Russ Downing, gives the first intimation so far received of new strike in the Marshall section, which is pronounced to be genuine in every way. According to Keon, the new paystreak is located about ten miles from Marshall City townsite, on what is known as Willow creek, The pay so far developed runs through four claims, and consists of an average of seven feet of dirt run ming about 12 cents per pan, and IS covered with an average burden of muck sixteen feet in thickness The ground is described as suitable for both winter and summer operations, as there is an abundance of water. The letter also states that the ground is all staked.-Nome Nugget.

PAN-AMERICANS DISCUSS
 PEACE IN MEXICO.

WASHINGTON, August 6.-The Pan-American diplomats are now en- gagged in the effort to find some peace full means by which the war in Mexico can be brought to an end. Meetings are being held secretly and the plans are not being divulged but it is be- lieved that results of the greatest importance will come from the dis cussion. The great meeting of the representatives of all the American nations will not take place until Sep tember 8, but by that time the plans for approaching the leaders of all Mexican factions will be completed.

PRESIDENT WANTS
 DEFENSES STRENGTHENED

Cornish, N. H., July 5.-President Wilson today announced he was pre- pairing a message to the next Con- gress in which his ideas as to a more complete national defense would be fully outlined.
 Strong pressure has been brought for some time past by the party lead CTS to arouse general interest in a permanent adequate defense and the president has adopted their views with enthusiasm. It is believed one of the principal suggestions to con- gress will be the need for more sub marines and torpedo boats.

KAISER TO USE THE POLES AS BREASTWORKS
TFUTONS LOMBARD
 FORTS OF WARSAW

LONDON, August 5.-The tre- mendous operations around Warsaw are still occupying the attention Of the world. Not since the beginning of history have such titanic move ments been recorded. The Russians are retiring without doubt but they are retiring in an orderly manner and the German hope that the main armies will be caught in a trap and compelled to surrender en massc will not be realized. The Teutons are now attacking the fortress of several dif- ferent cities including those of War saw itself. Terrific attacks are also being delieverd on Lomza, Osuolenka and Ivangorod which stretch to the northeast of the capital. At the lat ter place Hindenburg is meeting the strongest resistance and he has a mighty task before him. Whether the actual garrison of Warsaw is retiring from the city or not is something which has not yet been ascerained clearly but parts of it are probably doing so. By all accounts the Rus sians are putting up a much more stern resistance than had been antici- pated some days ago. News from the far eastern part of the German line where the Teutons are making their big attempt to cut the line of retreat is limited but it is felt that upon the outcome of that attempt will depend the fate of the Russian armies.

 CLOUDBURST.

ERIE, Pa., August 5.-It will take at least a week or ten days to search the debris for those killed by the cloudburst night before last. Hun dreds of men are working night and day removing the wreckage in this city. The damage has been enormous throughout this section, and it is esti- mated that over three million dollars loss has been sustained in Erie alone. A large force of special policemen are guarding the ruins and have al- ready arrested more than twenty looters. The loss of life has been esti- mated at thirty but it will be several days before the exact number is known.

Jurg- ems wrote long letter to the presi- dent demanding that the United States maintain a strict neutrality in the European war or his life would be forfeited. The man declared that an alliance of 15O men had been formed to destroy the capital at Washington and to kill President Wilson unless the country remained neutral. It is believed by the local authorities that the man is insane.

London Gets Bad News.

LONDON, August 6.-The worst possible news reached this city this afternoon from the Russian front. It has not been confirmed nor has it been received officially, but the news is that the Russians are now retiring in disorder and that the mighty armies are destroyed as a great fight ing unit. A feeling of gloom has spread over the city. It is felt that Russia cannot again soon come to the aid of her allies and that from this time forward the British, French and Italians must bear the brunt of the Teutonic onslaught. The spirit of the people, however, seems to have arisen to the occasion and they wish the world to know that the British em- pire will rise to the emergency

PETROGRAD, August Alt is of ficially announced that a German gun boat has been driven ashore near Windau after severe battle with Russian hydrOplanes. During the en- counter some German Zeppelins and aerOplanes attacked the Russian air ships and tremendous battle in mid air resulted. The German air fleet was forced to retreat in the direction of Riga so that it may be endangered as its course of retreat is towards the Russian army. The Russians, it is admitted, have retreated beyond the Eyu river but our forces are still bat ting to hold back the Teutons in all directions.

The press has generally accept ed the suggestion with favor. This scheme of government has long been agitated by many leaders in political activity and it is believed in inhuen- tial quarters that the plan will be placed in operation as soon as the present war is settled.

PANAMA SHIP
 CLOSE AT HAND
SINALO WILL REACH ANCHOR AGE ON 9TH AND THEN
 COME HERE.

A cable message was received this morning stating that "the Norwegian ship Sinola will arrive at Anchorage on the 9th. inst, with heavy machin- cry" This is the vessel which is bringing the great cargo of machin- cry and equipment to Seward for the government railroad. Mir. Edes, chairman of the commission, when seen this morning, repeated the in- formation which he gave out before to the effect that the ship has aboard for Seward, locomotives, cars, dump cars, a steam shovel and other equip ment.
 "She surely has those locomotives aboard for Seward, Mir. Edes?"
 "She has unless they fell over board", said the chairman, and, so, the day is at hand when we shall have real live government locomotives on the Alaska Northern railroad.
 Mir. Edes says the vessel will re- turn to Seward after the unloading at Anchorage but she will go first to the latter place. The date of her arrival here will depend, of course, on the amount which she will unship at the new town.

LONDON, August 6.-It is now understood that the Teutons have de- cided to crush Servia next. AS the Austrians and Germans are released from Poland, it is declared, they will march against the half broken Ser vians and the chances of the latter gallant little people to withstand them are not deemed great, it is con- eeded. Then, no doubt, Italy will be reckoned with and if Italy is subdued France and Britain will be alone un- less Russia could once more break through the Polish buffer.

PLANS FOR POLISH
 AUTONOMY FORMED

BERLIN, August 5.-Eveu before the fall of Warsaw at all the plans for the future government of Poland by the Poles themselves have been al- most drawn up and on next Sunday, it is expected. the kaiser of Germany will issue a proclamation declaring that all Poles in all the countries which took Polish territory will en- joy at least semi autonomy. This means that the Polish subjects of Austria. Germany and Russia will be recognized as a separate national en- tity and will be able to maintain their national customs, religion, language and all other institutions for which the Polish people have struggled since the dismemberment of their kingdom. Poland proper runs from Baltic sea down through what is known as Galicia to the Carpathian mountains. East Prussia contains provinces that were once under the dorinion of the Polish kings so that when semi-autonomy is granted it will mean that Germany and Austria will give the ancient people freedom, in addition to the fredeom given the Russian Poles.
 In the meantime a temporary gov ernment will be established in Poland and herein lies tremendous bit of statesmanship on the part of the Ger man government By establishing temporary Polish government the kaiser places a neutral nation be- tween him and Rusisa for the future so that if Russia decides to continue the war she will be faced by the con quest of the Poles before being able to reach the Germans again. It is now dawning on Europe that this is the great scheme of Germany Once Poland is established the necessity for following up the Russians any further disappears as between the Russian and the German powers will have arisen a nation that will fight against the violation of its territory by Russia or any other Hence all Germany feels today that the war against Russia is about at an end. A few hundred thousand German and Austrian troops may be left in Poland to form the nucleus of the coming Polish army and then will be hurled the whole might of the Teutons at the enemies south, north and west.
