LONDON, Aug. 1O.-The allies will
fight to the finish and make peace
only on their own terms.
This was the general tone Of the
angry comments that came from the
British press today on the message
sent to the United Press yesterday by
the German chancellor, Dr.. Won Beth
mann.HolIweg, regarding the terms
on which the kaiser would consent
to peace negotiations.
Bethmann-H oIweg's statement was
published in full throughout England.
All the papers gave It prominent dis
play, some even subordInating the
war news and making the German
chanceilor's message the most i'm.
portant news Of the day. The ma
jority Of the London papers In addI-
ton, carried lengthy editorial com.
ments, expressing indignation at
what they termed the "impudence"
of Germany's proposals.
The Daily Telegraph in a column
editorial, said In part:
"Bethmann-HolWeg's formula, In
his message to the United Press, was
Intentionally 80 conceived az to cover
anything from the lowest terms Ger
many considers she could make with.
out owning herself beaten to the ut
most limits Of extortion. This will
scarcely commend itself to neutral In
fIuences seeking the basis for pacifi.
catory action indefinite and Just

Bethmann-HoIwe difficulty 10
indeed hopeless. He knows neutral
opinion 10 generally lmmovabie on
one point, viz: the REIMBURSEMENT Of
Belgian territory and full eompenss'
tion to Belgium. He also knows that
the ruling classes In Germany, espe-
ciaIIy the now omnipotent military
caste, would now regard abandon
ment Of Belgium az an admission that
Germany's appalling and ruinous
losses were endured In vain.
"The plain truth 10 that Germany
cannot PROFOUND any peace terms
which neutraIs could approve. The
allies are fighting to secure Justice,
liberty and exact retribution. Unless
Germany will yield these points vol
unfairly, the peace she gets in the
end will be such az seems just and
polite to her conquerors. The maxi
ino of peace overtures 10 hopeless
task for a government which proved
to the world that its pledged word is
a thing Of naught."
The Times also devoted a column
Of editorial to the same theme, re-
marking on the fact that the kaiser
did not comply with the request for
a message to United Press papers.

Press and also with the kaiser over

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 1o.-Several
Russian warships are reported to
have been trapped in the Gulf OF Riga
by the sudden appearance off the en-
trance on Sunday Of a large German
battle squadron. Dispatches received
here today predicted that the Ger
mans would repeat their attempt to
penetrate the gulf and not only de-
strov the Russians ships, but support
the land attack on Riga by lombard
ment from the sea.
Official dispatches from Petrograd,
detailing the Sunday sea fight off the
uulf of Riga, declared that Russian
warships helped repel the German at
tack, strengthening the belief here
that several Slav naval units have
been caught inside the gulf. The
whereabouts Of the dreadnoushts Of

DAVE FLAGG, president of Flagg Fea-
ture Films, and Tatnall, his director,
having reached Beaver Island by devious
methods OF transport, drove from the chief
settlement to the fisherman's cabin on
the west shore. On his way Flagg began
building up the marvellous publicity story.
He had heard already how Hently, after
getting into the lake between foes, in his
struggle for the shore, had succeeded in
saving Marian as well as himself, and had
carried her, with her clothes as well as his
own covered with ice, to the fisherman's
cabin where they found refuge. That was
wonderful end; but as wonderful must
have been the experience of the night
when Hently had kept himself and Marian
Treves alive through that arctic bliz-
zard. AS publicity story, properly
played up, it simply could not be beaten
Flagg sketched the possibilities enthusi-
astically to Tatnall, and whipped up his
team in his impatience, as he came in
sight of the cabin.
One hour later, the same team, with
Flagg and Tatnall, drove away.

you that? He won't tell what happened

though she was not screaming at him or
struggling against him to let her drop
down and rest, but because she merely was
falling asleep still walking, he was beat
ing her: he was pounding her back and
her arms; he was shaking her and striking
her face; he tore open her coat and thrust
his hands within and against her body.
That freed her hands and she fought him
better than she had before. But he won
against her-that great, monstrous, in
visible jinnee covered with fur-he over
powered her and tied up her arms again,
and bound her body in bundle and
thrust her back on that eternal treadmill.
But, though goaded and beaten and
driven, even the strength that was not
hers began to fail at last. The jinnee
could push her or drag her beside him no
longer; she lay half senseless, weight in
his arms. Consciousness of any sort re-
mained long enough only to tell her that
he was shouting beside her ear something
about light-a light he was sure he had
seen through the snow. He had succeeded
in picking her up, and was carrying her,
lurching across the ice. He leaped, and
they fell. Then there was something dif-
ferent--something very different choking
her. 1t was water not snow; and the
jinnee was threshing through it. She
choked again. He was clutching at an ice
edge and trying to pull himself up on it
without letting her go, but he could not
do it, he was slipping off and sinking into
the water with her, and then threshing
back, to clutch and slip again.
She had sense enough to know that thus
he could never get out; so she cried to him
to let her 60 and save himself; but he
would not do it. Then she lost conscious
ness again, and what happened she did
not know at all: but the jinnee no longer
was beating her; at least he was letting
her sleep.
MARIAN awoke in comfortable, bright
N little bedroom, heated by an iron
stove in which wood cracked. There was

snowy slope, on which the sun was shin

"Jim! jim! l didn't hurt you! I

he now was shaking; his big hand scarcely

lips.

AS she looked about, an elderly woman

bed bent forward and touched Marian's
cheek.
"You're feeling better now, dearie?" the
woman inquired.

into that house and into that bed, under
the care of that woman, but recollection
of what had been before-fashed back to

"Tll fetch him for YOU"
The woman propped Marian up little
with pillow, and brought from the stove
something hot to drink; soon after that
she went out.
Marian lay tingling and trembling with
a strange sort of impatience, expectancy,
humiliation at thought of herself, exulta-
ton at thought of him-what it was she
could not define to herself.
The door opened, and she cried out
weakly with delight as Hently entered.
He wore fishermans flannel blouse, and
big, baggy brown trousers, and his face
was worn with lines of strain and exhaus-
ton; but because of them no face had
ever seemed so wonderful to Marian. As

NORTH DAK0TANS ARE
fLoCKING TO COAST

Under the above heading the San
Francisco Chronicle, published the fol.
lowing on Friday:
Many large parties of visitors from
North Dakota are already visiting the
exposition, according to the secre
tary in charge of the state building
Most of them he says are farmers who
are taking advantage of the slack sea
son before seed time to visit the
coast.
Many parties are expected to come
in before March 16, when the build
ing is to be dedicated. Goernor L. B
Hanna and the state commissioners
are to be here on May 81 for North
Dakota Day.
"All the North Dakota display at the
exposition is housed in the state
building. The prairie products are
featured together with coal and man
ufactures of clay. Among the latter
are exhibits of pottery made at the
university of North Dakota, which
has taken the lead in developing this
industry"

TIME FOR PLANTING.

Grand Forks, March Corn, Of all
crops adapted to North Dakota, has
the shortest planting period. For the
best results it should neither be plan
ed too early nor too late, for if plant
ed too early, rotting may occur or
spring frosts may damage, while, if
planted too tale fall frosts may cause
the loss of your seed and all your
work improving it. The safe period
for corn in Central North Dakota, &C.
cording to Prof. P. G.. Holden, the corn
expert of the International Harvester
company's demonstration farm at
Grand Forks, seems to be between
May 10 and May 20. Planting on
either side of this period incurs more
or less risk. However, there are times
when one cannot plant during the per-
iod mentioned, for weather or soil con-
ditions will not permit. In this event,
plant as soon as possible and take
chances on the outcome. One should,
however plan to so proportion and
time his other enterprises that there
will be no unavoidable obstacles to
prevent planting as soon as it is safe
in order that the corn will be given
the best possible chance to fully MA
ture.
