Mr.. Bryan touched on his views OF
national defense in these words:
|, The foreign-born element of this
country also Understands from expert

policy OF preparedness has thrown

fail to note the use which is being
made of the war to support the de-

Earlier In the day Mr.. Bryan had
this TO say of the national defense
propaganda:
Il think the military preparedness
which Is being advocated by the Ma
sasasal SassAEisg 4Lseague,g and the Navy
League would provoke instead Of
preventing It. We cannot have the
eparedness which they are asking

Seattle, Wash, Sept. l7.---The re-
ceipt at Ottawa Ont. today of a mes
sage from the Nilhjalmar Stefansson
expedition. by way or Nome, Alaska,
was the first d.rect tidings of the ex-
plorer for year and a half. No news
of the explorer and his two compan NJ
ions has been received since their
supporting party turned back, April
Z, 1914. from Camp Separation, on
the north coast of Alaska.
At that time he expected to reach
Banwsland on the drifting ice, but the
strong current from the Mackenzie
River and unfavorable winds drove
the ice to the westward. This drift
II was hoped by Stefansson's friends
would carry the explorer and his COM
panions toward the Siberian coast
In this belief trading schooners and
whalers plying the Arctic this sum-
mer were asked to keep a sharp look
out for the explorers. Last month
vessels arrived at Nome, Alaska, after
trading along both the Alaskan and
Siberian shores Of the Arctic, and re-
ported that no trace of Stefansson
had been found.
Natives Saw White Man.
There still remained the hope that
he had found refuge on Wfangell
Island where the survivors Of the
Stefansson exploration ship Karluk
sought safety, after that vessel was
crushed in the ice eighteen months
ago. This hope was buoyed up by
circumstantial account received at
Nome last April to the effect that ma
tives hunting seal last winter near
Icy Cape. on the Arctic coast OF
Alaska. reported that they saw
white man marooned on an ice noe
which was drifting in a southwesterly
direction toward Wrangell Island.
This news was brought to Nome by
a carrier from Port Barrow. The In
formation did not give the date on
which the natives saw the man, but It
is presumed to have been late in
January or early In February this
year.
Carried Out to Sea.
When the natives first saw the man
he was on large ice pack separated
from them and the shore by wide
stretch of water. The hunters imme-
diately hurried out upon the ice to
attempt a rescue. but before they
reached the lead separating the foe
from the short ice strong off-shore
wind sprang up. carrying the fee far
to sea. The ice was moving steadily

Miss Irene Teresa Dadey,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. M. w.
Dadey. and Herbert j. Dooner
were married at seven thirty
o'clock Monday morning at st.
Joseph's Catholic Church. The
wedding was one of the prettiest
events of the entire year, the
little church being banked in
flowers; the altar being adorned
with wealth of fragant carna-
tons, sWeet-peas and roses.
The bride was lovely in a gown
of white satin. her tulle veil
being held with a wreath of lilies
of the valley, and she carried a
a shower of brides roses and
lilies of the valley. Miss Louise
Dadey was her sisters maid of
honor, and made an attractive
appearance in violet crepe de
, chene. her arm bouquet was
pink roses and ferns. O. J.
| Faulkner acted as best man. and
the ushers were VIM Daze and
,, John NJ. lJrumm. Immediately
after the ceremony a wedding
breakfast was served at the Da-
dey home on north Kinsley ave-
nue., only the family and in
innate friends being present.
During the afternoon from three
until five a reception was held.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dooner will make
their home at 1sleta, N. NJ,

to the Mail office Wednesday
evening from their ranches

wheat. oats, beans, onions and
rutabagas, all we'll matured and
of good quality. They also have
corn in tassle, and the pumpkins
were too big to bring in. Oh
course farming is not as easy
here as in the middle west, but
if the proper labor and attention
is given to the cultivation of the

Society's Doings.

Mrs. j. j. Lane and Mrs.
Donahue entertained the Cath
olic Ladies Altar Society at the
home of Mrs. Lane Thursday
afternoon with whist. Cool re-
freshments were served at the
conclusion of the afternoon.
Ladies present: Mesdames
Hickey, Goldsworthy, Sorenson,
Blake, Bremke. Young, Donahue

LaChance, Weinert and Kelly.
During the past four weeks
we've enjoyed luncheons, teas
and showers of various kinds
for the bride of the summer, and
now that these festivities have
ceased, we are wishing something
else would turn up which would
prove quite as charming and
entertaining. Several of the
most popular and charming young
ladies are enjoying a fortnight at
Lake Mary under the chaperon-
age of one of the matrons of
Winslow. We think it a glorious
place to end a vacation and
truly a picturesque one. 1t is
rumored that while there friends
in the nearby city of Flagstaff
are planning not a few gaieties
in their honor.
Mrs. J. D. LaChance gave the
last miscellaneous shower COM
plimentary to Miss Irene Dadey
before her marriage to Herbert
J. Dooner, Friday afternoon at
her home on west Third street.
The LaChance home was dec
grated in pink and white crepe
paper, that color scheme being
carried throughout the delight
full affair. A clever feature of |
the afternoon was the line |
which the hostess had strung
from one end of the room to the
other, and on which the numer-
GUS beautiful things were pinned.

her hostess to take down her
