CAPTAIN SENDS AFFIDAVIT
Commander of Arabic Does an Un-

London, Aug. 25.-The American
embassy has transmitted by cable to
Washington the gist of seven deposit
tons taken by Consul Washington at
Liverpool, six of which were Ameri-
cans on board the Arabic and the
seventh from Captain Finch of that
steamer. The last is regarded as par
ticularly noteworthy, as it is unusual
for the skipper Of a ship to furnish
an affidavit to a government other
than his own.
All the deponents state under oath
that the Arabic was pursuing a peace

and Permitting the Removal Of
Their Troops to Other Fronts.
London, Aug 25.-Optimistic re-
ports concerning operations on the
Gallipoli peninsula have been in cir
culation for the past few days and
prophecies are freely made that a
few weeks will see- the close of the
allies most difficult task in the Near
East.
The Turks, too, expect the Anglo
French forces to be successful, if
news reaching Sofia from CONSTANT
nople is reliable.
In fact, it is felt here now that so
far as the Dardanelles is concerned
it is a matter of Indifference to the
allies whether the Balkan states lend
a hand. Their assistance is wanted,
however, against Austria and also to
shorten Turkish resistance if the
straits are opened
For these reasons, negotiations with
the Near Eastern capitals are being
watched with interest and the de-
cision of Servia on the proposals of
the Quadruple entente for satisfying
the aspirations of Bulgaria is anxious
ly awaited.
1t is believed in London that Ser
Was reply will prove satisfactory and
that Bulgaria's cooperation will be
assured. This would open the way
also for an active policy on the part
Of ROumania, who wants assurances
that Bulgaria will not attack her be-
fore she commences to move her
troops.
Future Policy Of Greece.
1t is confidently expected all these
questions will be settled satisfactorily
to the allies and that within the same
period the future policy of Greece will
definitely be announced.
In the meantime, Austro-German
armies are aiming more heavy blows
at Russia, in the hope of putting her
on the defensive Indefinitely and per-
hitting the removal of some of their
own troops to other fronts, particular
ly Servia and Italy, in the hope of re-
peating their Eastern successes. ., !.
- The Russians are encouraged, how
ever, by their naval victory in the
Gulf of Riga, which has delayed
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's great
outflanking movement through Cour-
land, and are offering very stiff re-
sistance at almost every point in the
Baltic provinces.
While the Russians are falling back
east and south of Kovno it is explain.
ed by Petrograd that this was neces-
sary to prevent them from being out
fanked. They still hold both banks
of the Niemen river from Preny, just
{ south of Kovno, southwark to Grodno
one of the few fortresses still held
by them.
On all sides of Brest-Litovsk the
Austro-Germans claim to be making
progress, while we'll to the southeast
of the fortress the Austrians report
their cavalry has entered Kovel, an
important railway junction on the
lines to Kiev and Kovno.

The great racing arena has beer
turned into a battle ground. Tiny
European villages now nestle along
the banks of the stream which inter
sects one corner of the course. Long
defiles of trenches, hidden behind
barbed wire entanglements and
spiked moats, scar the infield. Red
danger flags mark spots at which
mines have been laid to annihilate
the final charge. Won Hindenburg
himself would be forced to COM
pliment the military genius that built
them.
Meanwhile, twenty-five hundred
men have been rehearsing for weeks
the roles they are to play in the
engagement. To visualize European
warfare has been the one aim of their
instruction. To operate and charge
upon the engines of carnage which
are daily wiping out thousands of
lives in Europe is their task, with
victory or defeat their portion.
The aero balloon squadron, upon
which, to great extent, response
bility for lending spectacularity to
the action will fall, have been over
the ground almost daily, so that
there may be no slip-up at the final
moment. All of the aviation experts,
led by Captain Bumbaugh, the aero

Time. Not Space.

Mrs. Frink was a trusting sou
and rarely questioned the opinion
of others about matters concerning
which they were supposed to be in
formed. One day she came hons
with a new pair of shoes under be-
arm. "Got them at Brides" she
explained, "and they're the best
ever bought you."
"What is so very good about
them ?" inquired her son, for whom
the shoes were intended
"Why, the salesman said that you
could walk farther in them than in
any Others without getting tired,
and said that you couldn't walk
very far just now on account of
your knee, you know, and he said
that he meant farther for the same
distance. SO | bought them, and

Talk about wireless telephones
The Colorado desert goes science
one better in that line. According
to travellers in that neck of sane
and sagebrush, YOU can dispense
with any kind of telephone, with CT
without wires, at least up to a GER
tain distance.
Two men mile apart can carry
on conversation in an ordinary
tone of voice, particularly if there
happens to be a small hill behind
each, writes Harvey Hall Kessler in
the Travel Magazine. The prevail
ing silence is so intense that it
might be called deafening.
Perhaps, after all, the weirdest
among many strange features of the
desert is the mirage. We have
camped perhaps and gone to bed
early IN the evening with the ther-
mometer registering not far below
tt hundred mark. We awake,
slss ering with cold beneath our
blankets, and look toward the east.
There is the slightest suggestion
of light in the sky there, which as
we watch grows slowly in strength.
A grayish haze marks the horizons
edge, which stands out more sharply
at one point, from which broad,
pale rays creep up and out high
above in the sky. These again
slowly fade as a point of brilliant
light appears at their base. This
point grows to a half circle, then
breaks and runs along the sky line
in surging, golden lake.
Upon the shores of this lake
cities spring up, towers, spires and
solid blocks. These fade into fields
and forests and farming scenes
fields of golden grain, cattle stand
ing in green alfalfa, SHEETS of wa
ter. The mountains near the edge
of the lake separate from their
bases and float upward, topple over
and stand on their heads, their un-
Fieldy feet in air.
Soon our lake begins to contract
md collect into a big round bail of
lazzling brilliance hung just above
he horizon. Farms and forest dis
appear. The mountains, as though |
at being caught in such an
attitude by the broad
light of day, quickly resume their
FORMAL position, while all the stark
stiffens into unstirring en-
Iurance of the garish light and
'lazing heat of the desert sun. The
mirage is gone like a bubble. Only
he gray desert remains.

School teachers disagreed, and princi-

In an advertisement of the Nebraska
Telephone company appeared the sentence

The artist bet cigar it should have
been Were down" He insisted that be-
cause miles" is plural. the verb must be

authority in the office. The authority de-
cided with the advertisement and Powell
paid the cigar, Then he searched for
scholastic authority. lie got into a group
of school teachers who quarreled about
it, being equally divided on the point.
He called up Belle Ryan, assistant
superintendent of the schools, who sus-
tanned him and declared it should be

ellis hopes of getting his cigar back
bounded 800 per cent and he fairly did a
Highland tango about his office.
