The "Nsehilli," or North Pole Natives,
at "Stone Age" Of Civilization.
The north pole natives" alluded to
by Captain Amundsen in recent lee
ture were discovered by him while he
was navigating his little craft, the
Gjoa, thru the Northwest Passage in
1903-07. He christened them "Nechilli"
and considered them to be the most
primitive race on earth. No white man
had ever before invaded their icy FAST
nesses Consequently they were ignor-
ant Of the use Of iron. Their fishing
implements were long spears, fashioned
out Of reindeer horn. They knew no
other method Of procuring fire than
that Of rubbing two pieces Of wood to-
gether. They were, in short, still In the
stage Of civilization reached by our an
cestors Of the Stone Age. So cut of
were they from others Of their kind
that they imagined their tribe was the
only one in the world, and displayed
the utmost establishment when told Of
populous countries far to the south,
where neither Ice nor snow was. The

ONLY ONE OF 2ss FOR WAR.
Poll Of Cleveland Business Men Of
lusitania Case Sent TO Wilson.

Lusitania Case Sent TO Wilson.
Only one man out Of 2s5 in the coal,
ore and vessel business in Cleveland is
in favor Of the United States taking
armed action against Germany FOR the
loss Of Americans aboard the steamship
Lusitania, which was sunk by Ger
man submarine.
The census. covering 265 men. was
taken by Hayward Kendall and Harry
Abels, Of the Kendall Coal Mining
Company, Rockefeller building. The re-
suit Of the canvass was telegraphed to
President Wilson.
In making the inQuiries one question
was asked: do you favor the use of
force against Germany as result OF
the Lusitania sinking?"
I'VE made no attempt to learn what
course of action was favored, but con-
fined ourselves to the one phase Of the
situation Mr.. Kendall said. II am in
clined to think those who expressed
an opinion feel that Americans travel
ing on British ship do so at their own
risk."-Cleveland Exchange.

Ia an unprecedented scarcity Of silver
coins, and many well-to-do citizens
have buried all their savings, fearing
the uncertain times OF war.
Trade with foreign countries stopped
at the outbreak Of war. Caravan routes
are made dangerous and risky by the
activity of tribesmen and bandits. The
usual large shipments Of tobacco and
opium have accordingly been stopped.
with very serious results to the con-
siderable sections Of the community de-
pendent on this trade for their liveli-
hood.
Financially Persia is dependent upon
Russia and England. the two banks. one
English and the other Russian. are
facing very serious difficulties. The
Russian government originally pro-
hibited exports of petroleum and all
sorts of food supplies into Persia, fear
ing that these commodities might In
directly reach Turkey. This caused q
sweeping rise in the prices of petrol
cum. sugar, and other things. The pro-
hibition was abolished some time later,
and the prices went down again, but
not to their previous level.
The industrial centers where woven
fabrics, rugs. silver and leather ware,
sword blades, earthenware and articles
of luxury are manufacturers, are all IN
q state of prostration. The Armenian
dealers and agents have received
notices from all their clients In Eng
land and America that no further i'm
ports are to be expected for long
time.
The alliance between Russia and
England has caused much speculation
and alarm in Persia. With only linn
tied acquaintance with the geography
and current history of western Europe,
most Persians jumped to the conclusion
that the alliance must have some foun-
dalton in Persian affairs. They soon
found an explanation. which is still
generally accepted. The two great ma
lions. this explanation AYERS. decided
to put an end to their squabbles over
Persia by forming an alliance and
dividing Persia between them in ac-
cordance with the spheres Of infiu-

1907.

list of combatants created a tremendous
lupTSSSIOI, 1llOTc ESPECIALLY upol tAAC
clergy. The German legation at Teher-
an fostered this feeling of friendship
toward Germany. Matters came near
crisis with the discovery of plot to
murder the Russian, British. French
and Belgian ministers. The plot failed
only because of a premature explosion
of some bombs which were to have been
used.
Russian prestige suffered further
setback soon afterward when Tabriz
and Urmia were temporarily occupied
by the Turks.
The handful Of Belgians residing in
Persia, most Of whom are engaged in
work as finance controllers and customs
officers, has also been the subject Of
popular animosity, and on one occasion
nothing but the lucky arrival Of force
of gendarmes under Swedish military
