Are you a collector? Do you still
retain the interest in postage stamps
that you possessed years ago? 1t is a
universal hobby among boys and there
are lots of girls, too, who are keen in
the quest for new, brilliantly. colored
specimens of the steel engraver's art.
But there has grown up new cult
of collectors. These are quite often
men and women and they are working
just as industriously and with per
haps far greater appreciation than if
they were slowly gathering bits of
gray-hued geographical memoranda.
They are attracted by the exquisite
art of modern POSTER STAMPS and
are enabled, to add constantly to their
collections owing TO the rapidly in
creasing numbers that are being put
on the market. Aggressive advertis-
ers all over the country have been
quick to grasp this opportunity to
draw attention to their wares among
a cultured public.
These stamps are actually miniature
posters and the credit for their origin
alton rests with Germany. There are
Americans who claim these were first
used in the United States at the time
of the Civil war and the French used
stamps for advertising purposes long
before the German idea, but in it's pre-
sent form the poster stamp displays
the genius of the Teuton in its
strength, simplicity of design and
boldness of color treatment. These
last are the services the Germans
have performed for the poster art and
it is on these features that the stamps
claims to our attention rests.
Used Much in Germany.
In Germany they are used every.
where and by everybody. The most
conservative shops and manufacturing
concerns seem to find it to their ad-
vantage to put a series Of their own
into circulation. The collecting of
these has become a veritable mania
and one collector recently paid $50
marks for a rare out of print POSTER
STAMP.

ONE YEAR AGO. A SHOT WHICH
PLUNGED EUROPE INTO WAR,
WAS FIRED BY ASSASSIN

One year ago Tuesday the Aus
trian archduke, Francis Ferdinand,
and his wife were shot and killed in
the little Bosnian town OF Seraj evo
by Garvio Prinzip. 1t was the act
OF Prinzip, poor student, which
ultimately resulted In eleven nations
going to war. These nations are on
the one hand, Great Britain, France,
Russia, Serbia. Japan, Belgium, Italy
and Montenegro, and, on the other,
Germany. Austria and Turkey. The
war to date. according to conserva-
tive estimates compiled from the
best available reports, has caused
loss to the various belligerents of
more than six million men. dead,
wounded and prisoners. and more
than five hundred ships. or these
about 100 were war vessels.
The outstanding results on land
are these:
The greater portion of Belgium is
under the control of Germany
Germany has been driven from
the far east.
A portion of the Dardanelles is
in the possession of the allied troops.
Portions of France and Russia are
in the possession of German troops
A strip of Alsace has been taken
from Germany.
On the continent of Africa parts
of territorial possessions have been
lost by both sides.
Various island possessions of Ger
many have been taken by the forces
of the allies.
Italian troops are in possession of
strip of Austrian territory.
The outstanding results at sea
are these:
German and Austrian mercantile
shipping has been driven from all
the open seas
German and Austrian war vessels
having n total displacement of ap-
proximately $4,000 tons have been
destroyed.
War vessels of the allied nations
having total displacement of ap-
proximately $4,000 tons have been
sent to the bottom.
The greater portions of the Ger
man and allied fleets in the North
Sea remain intact-bottled up.
Except for communication through
Holland and the Scandinavian ma
tons. Germany is cut off from the
rest of the world.
Efforts on the part of the Ger
mans to place the British isles in a
similar predicament has resulted in
the sinking by submarines of hun
dreds OF vessels flying the flags OF
the allied and neutral nations.

the Department of the Inferior wanted
to improve the breed of reindeer in
Alaska by introducing bigger stock
from Siberia, the home of the reindeer.
Lieut.. Betrthof was selected to do the
work. He went into Siberia by way of
Moscow and the Siberian rail

had to take a. little jaunt IF 1000 miles
by horse post down the Lena
Following that was another journey

to when, in 1871 he came to select from

Again, in 1913, when Uncle Sam was
picking out maritime experts to repre-

he was an officer who thinks, who had
