the loss of so many thousands Of brave young men, who went to the DaIdaueIles to fight the battle of the allies. And now China reports d tremendous loss of life by the Can ton river floods. Unless help goes to China from this country, none can be had in any quarter. In addi- tion to the 100000 people who have been drownd in these floods it is probable that millions of unfortun- ates will be threatened by starya- tiou. for the same force which suufled out so many lives in that terrible iuuudation has destroyed a great area of cultivated fields, on which the millions of villagers were depending for food. Probably the next generation of inhabitants or this world will wonder at the tales
 of such tremendous losses all oyer the world, from floods, when com mon sense methods could easily
 utilize this force for helping, instead Of destroying mankind.-Boston Ad- yertiscr.

CORDOVA SHELTER
 HINGES ON COAL LAND OPENING

R. ". Baxter, vice president of the Alaska Steamship company and the Copper River & Northwestern railroad, arrived in Cordoya this morning and will continue to the westward on the steamer Northwest ern, stopping at EIlamar, Valdez, Latoucbe, Seward and Anchorage. Upon his return NIr. Baxter will stop over here long enough to make a trip ever the local railway as far as KeupeCOtt. Mir. Baxter is OH his annual tour Of inspection and while he has nothing definite to give the public in reference to the plans of the Alaska Syndicate, he eN- pressed a most optimistic view of the future for CordOva. He said:
 The extension of the Copper River railway from Mile 3S to the Boring River coal fields will na- turally depend on the basis upon which the government intends to allow this vast area of fuel to be opened up and developed. If the present leasing bill is put into work ing shape. many of the claims will undoubtedly be worked and we are aster all the tonnage We can get.
 With the opening of the coal mines, coke would be available for q shelter at Cordova. As you know Prince William Sound has the fluxing ore for the rich copper glance at KennecCtt, but everything hinges OH the marketing of your coal. Just what will be the out come Of the goyernment" plans no oue can say, but share the hope of all Alaskans that at no distant time the whole territory will be thrown open to development and tn patience and fortitude of its resi- dents, who have so nObly carried the burden for a number of years, will be fully rewarded. ."-Cordoya Times.

think out way by which 1 might save myself from the loss of my position, though there was no possible way of escaping the modification to which l would be subjected.
 What I decided upon was this: wrote note to Mir. Beardsley, con fesslng that his manuscript had been burned and asking him if he had an other copy end begging him for the present to say nothing about the mat ter. My note brought him to see me at my home, and it was plain that he was much chagrined at the loss of his manuscript. I told him l could raise $50, which 1 knew was more than any author unknown to the public could get for q story of the same length as the one he had submitted. He looked up ut me with a curious expression when I said this, but made no reply. He left me, saying that he would think over what was best to do, but in the meanwhile I need give myself no un- easiness concerning 1t. This was very good of him, and felt very grateful.
 4 few days later received n note from him saying that he had decided to rewrlte the lost story. Work he did over a second time was always better than his first effort. If I could spare the time to become his amanuensis for the work be would not only excuse me for the destruction Of the original man. uscrIpt, but If he received q higher price for the second draft than he had been offered for the first he would diyiGS the excess with me.
 I wSs only too glad to escape with this penalty and accepted the propo- sition except as to any pccuniary inter- est in what he received for his story. I gave him q couple of hours every working day for month, at the end of which time the story was finished. In the course of another week I re ceiyed q note from the author contain Ing a check for $2J0, which he said was my share of the excess over what he had been offered for the first draft pf his story. And what was my con JternatiOn to see in his signature the name of one of the most gifted writ CTS before the public.
 He had made bet with a friend that he would submit q story to our magazine under an assumed name and nothing would come of 1t. Something moro than he expected did come of 1t; his story was burned. Time showed why he treated me so nicely. It seems that he had taken the same fancy to me that I had taken to him. That is why he wished me for his amanuensls. He desired to be with me, to become acquainted with me, and as 1t turned out he was afforded an opportunity to make love to me. I have been his wife several years and have not yet heard the last of the burning of his prOduC- ton. Indeed, I never expect to hear the last of 1t. What troubled me at the time was that I could not tell a gifted writer from q common scrihbler.

ROBUST ANIERICANISM

The ancient ideals of robust Am cricauism survive among the older men who won distinction ill this country a generation ago. John Wanamaker, who has just been selected by newspaper vote as the mos! distinguished citizen of Penn sylvania, celebrated his seventy seventh birthday the other day and commemorated it by an address to his employes, touching on events of the day. Among other things he satl: L
 The flag of the United
 States from this day on has got
 to mean more to the world
 than i, ever did before. This
 nation is not going to ask per
 mission from any foreign coun-
 try to travel across the ocean
 that belongs to the whole
 world, and don't forget that"
 George Franklin Edmunds, a conspicuous and commanding figure ia the ranks of the republican party from the birth of that party down to his own voluntary retirement from public life iu 1891, after twen- ty-tour years service in the Unit ed states senate, and who is now iu his etghry-eishth year, has ad- dressed letter to President Will son on the international issues pre- seutvd by 'e present war. He treats the latest German note in sound vigorous English, and says:
 II am an old man and have
 for long worn the badge of the
 Massachusetts Peace Society,
 br, can no longer endure the
 awful spectacle without an eX-
 Hrcssiou of my opposition to
 further discussion under the
 present circumStauces."
 No m.a who has the remotest familiarity witL the public records of these two men would dare to charactertze them as "iingoes" or. as men eager to involve this coun- try in an avoidable war. They simply hold to the older American tradition that war is an evil less to be feared than a peace purchased by unlimited indulgence in futile dtplC matic discussion or by a shame ruI retreat from 9 position which we nave once assumed in the pro tecti9n of American rights, dignity and hOuor.-P-L.
