IN THE LIVES OF
EUROPE'S TITLED WOMEN

LOOK at her, laughing easily with the
RUSSIAN women of her court, as much
one OF them as though she had been
born beneath the double eagles.
Ihat younger woman coming
down the hall leading a child by the
hand is her daughter-in-law, also a
German woman. 1t is the sharp
tongued Victoria Melita, princess of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha; she who
married the Russian Grand Duke
Cyril
Witness here in this other palace
now, the Grand Duchess Constantine.
She is planning aid for the war
stricken peasants, supplies for the
soldiers of the Car, support for her
husbands people. And yet she is Eliz-
abeth of Saxe-Altenbourg a princess
of Germany.
In the War Lords Domain.
You have seen Russia; now turn
to Germany. Behold the duchy of
Mecklenberg-S chwerin. In the pal
ace there is the Grand Duchess Alex
andria. See her standing at the top
OF the long white steps bidding fare
well to the officer That officer is her
husband, the Grand Duke Frederick
Franz. He is returning to the front,
where tomorrow he will be directing
smashing guntire against the men of
England. There is no challenge in
Alexandria's heart as she sees him
80; her sympathy is with him and
not with the long-limbed Tommy At
kins across the valley of death. And
yet she is an English princess y Her
father is the Duke of Cumberland and
she was born and bred over the chan
mel. Those young officers who reply
to the shell fire of her husband were
playmates of hers. And the flag they
wave was her flag. But not now.
Now she is a fierce woman of the
fatherland.
Two Heroic Figures.
Follow now! We are in the corner
of Belgium that yet remains to the
king of the rayished people. See,

SANS COLONIZATION
SCHEME FRUSTRATED
Planned to Transport Negroes From
United States to Africa. The
British Seized His Ship.

NEW YORK. With the arrival
here tonight from Liverpool of eight
teen distressed Americans, forming
what was left of the crew Of the Brit
ish steamer Liberi,., dramatic chap
ter was written into a colonization
scheme headed by Alfred Charles
Sam, said to be chief Of an African
tribe. to transport negroes from the
United States to the African west
coast.
The capture by the British author
tiles of the colonization ship and the
subsequent chasing Of the crew by a
German submarine were among the
adventures of the Liberia 5 soldiers.
Before the Liberia sailed on its first
trip Sam widely announced his plans,
chiefly in the New England states.
The Liberia, financed. it was said, by
negroes, left Portland, Maine, in May
and after stopping at Norfolk, Va,
proceeded to Galveston Tex, where it
was reported to have taken on forty
negroes and started on its voyage to
Africa.
At Anamabu, on the African coast,
the Liberia was seized by British au-
thorities, as the owner was a British
subject. Mem bers of the crew went
to Liverpool, whence they were sent
home as consular passengers.

Around Ancient ArQraf
Where Noah Landed Ark
The Cross and the Crescent Are Fighting AS the Tribes
Have Fought Almost Continuously Since Historic Event

the mountain, which has always deep
ly impressed the imaginatiOns Of the
peoples who have wandered past or
settled beneath it. The Armenian
priests long believed that the Won
derful mysteries of its summit might
never be surveyed by human eyes,
and all thought of scaling Ararat was
considered almost in the light of sac
rilege. The Armenians have also held
that they are the first people after
the flood, the immediate descendants
of Noah, so to speak; for the first
village that Noah founded after aban-
doning the ark was Nakhitchevan,
so the Armenian thinks that his peo-
pie were the first race of men to grow
up in the world after the food.
The name Ararat means high. The
Persian name for the mountain, koh-
i-Nuh, means Noah mountain. 1t
has been determined by the natives
that the Garden of Eden was placed
in the Valley of the Araxes, a valley
which at the present time enjoys
blessings that go far toward strength
ening its wonderful claim. Noah S
vie was buried in this valley near
LHe mountain, anu q apes az SILL
grown there whose vines are the di-
rect descendants of vines planted by
Noah.
Ararat was first assembled by the
German, Parrot, in 1929. The sue
cess of his undertaking is said to
have given a rude shock to the Ar
menian churchmen, who strongly adj
vised against the prying into the sa-
cred mountains summit secrets. The
climb has ben made by quite a num-
Der of high tourists since, among
them being James Bryce, the noted
British diplomat. The ascent is said
to be an easy one for the experienced
mOuntaineer.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1915-10-12

They are fighting now around the
base of Mount Ararat, where Noah
grounded the ark. There is nothing
particularly new about that fact;
there has been little peace there
abouts since Noah landed there. But
there is significance in the fact that
the fight there now on the frontier
of the Ottoman empire and Russia is
the centuries-old fight between the
Cross and the Crescent. Under the
shadow of the historic peak the fight
ing lines of Osmanli and Russian
have been swaying back and forth,
never far beyond the lines of the
frontier.
Ararat is the hub of Armenia, of
the original home of the Haik peo-
pie. 1t is also the center of what has
ever been the most troubled area on
earth. Tribes of Europe and of Asia
have fought each other here from the
dawn of history, and the remnants
from the battles have settled as
neighbors, hating, despoiling, massa-
cring one another. Caucasian his
tory has always been of blood and
destruction, of savagery and sudden
death, of blacklist treachery and
heartless cruelty-a book whose eY-
cry page is written full of killings
and desolations. Dramatic horror
has ever stalked around Ararat's
broad base, and the border warfare
now in progress forms no hiatus in
the lands normal life.
- Ararat is one of the most impress
sive of earth's mountains, for it rises
sheer to the clouds out of an immense
plain, with no neighboring peaks to
soften its isolation and to take from
its majesty A mighty Mount Ever
est is set within a massive, sky-touch-
ing range of mountains; Mount Blanc
is merely one of several imposing fel-
lows. but Ararat stands up, with only
a BACKGROUND of sky and plain and a
frame of little mountains, a splCndld
thing without a peer. The dominant
mountain is split into two peaks,
Great and Little AraTat. Great Ara
rat rise to a height of 1900 feet
above the levi of the sea. Little Ara
rat. where the boundaries Of the OF
toman empire, of Russia and of Per
sia meet, reaches an altitude of H.
$40 feet. Though the snow line here
is very high-14,0OO feet-the dome
of Great Ararat is covered with gilt
tering fields of unbroken white. Past
ures begin a little below the snow
line and below the pastures runs a
belt of for the most part sterile land.
Purplish blue Ararat rests its foot
in a golden plain, a plain of golden
sands. splashed with vivid greens and
reds which shimmers like a Persian
carpet.
A vast wealth of legend surrounds

Building Activity.

There has been more building going
on in town now than has been
witnessed at any time during the past
three years. The buildings are better
and of a more substantial character
than those of any previous season.
The large brick school building is now
ready for the seats. Moore's brick
block 40x80 feet on the corner of Main
and Third streets is daily growing in
height, and is going to be the finest
business block north of St. Cloud, and
not surpassed by any in that city. N.
H. Miner has commenced active oper-
ations on his new brick residence; the
Messrs. West and Hinman are build
ing an extensive addition to their wa
