Senator johnson put into words
the thought of many American csti-
zens when he said. in hjl Memorial
day address at OAKLAND: 81 had
dreamed that We were yntering upon
the golden age when might does not
make right, that the ideals OF an en-
lightened Christian faith and a broader
and wider humanity had made great
wars impossible, but am driven to
take my eyes from the ideals which
seem so far Oh and FIX them upon
things at my feet. Realizing the dan
ger Of the spirit of nilitarism, which
has seized within it, grasp one of the
foremost nations OF the world and
made it subservient to its every wish,
dulling the finer instincts OF its people,
and rendering brutal and vicious
qualities Of mind and heart which
would have been humane and con-
siderate but for It's influence, yet see
no safe course for my country to pur :
sue except to prepare to defend her
honor, her sovereignty and her ex-
istence - . nation by providing, now,
adequate means for her defense.

His mercy will never call upon us to

have prepared, and II 90, only when

or course all well informed children
have read about the dreadful war that
has been raging IN Europe since last
summer. They know the pitifui plight
Of the people Of Belgium. and doubtless
many young readers have contributed
In various ways to the relief Of that
sorely stricken people. Recently news
was received that the little Duke Of
Brabant crown prince Of Belgium. had
shouldered a ride and In now lighting
in the trenches In northern France. He
win be fourteen years old next Novem-
Der. 70 he b very young for the perils
Of warfare. Still such Incidents have
been noted In the history OF all wars.
In the great civil war of our own coun-
try. that ended ffty years ago. many
boys younger than the Belgian prince
went to the front as drummer boys.
Sad 10 relate some OF them were killed
and perhaps that may be the fate Of
Prince Leopold

SNAKES WERE ALL DROWNED
q
But Animals, Liberated From Their
Cages Just In Time, Swim Ashore
From Wrecked Scow.

Tied to tall trees on the banks Of the
Skagit river is one Of the strangest col
lection Of animals ever harbored in
this neck Of the woods, as the result
OF the wreck of a scow towed by the
gasoline launch Tango, carrying the
SO members and full properties, exhibit
ton tents, and cages full of the Sound
Amusement company of Seattle, bound
for this city.
The launch dragged itself across a
snag on tbs North Fork, but in pull.
Ing the scow over, plank was ripped
from the bottom and 1t sank.
The men on the Tango sprang on
the scow and tore open the cages to
free the animals. which leaped into the
water and swan ashore. There they
scattered In the woods and kept the
showmen busy all day rounding them
up.
The scow sank before the snakes
could be liberated, and locked in the
cages. the wriggling, writing reptiles
went to their death. One big snake
cost its owner $500.
Bert Mansfield, who owns the dog
and pony part of the show, remained
on the scow with his pet dog Chester,
despite the entreaties of his compan-
ions, until he barely escaped with his
own life.
Another valuable animal still at
large Is the trick mule, High School
Jack. There were six horses and 20
trained dogs. Several trained rae
coons were lost-Mount Vernon

BECAUSE HIS DOG LIKED HIM
Why the Southern Mountaineer Was
Willing to Pay to Check
Monerel.

The pedigree of a dog makes nc
difference II you love him. This wac
the opinion expressed by citizen OF
Pioneerville, at Boise, Idaho, when he
found that he would have to pay $3.50
to check mongrel as far as ST. Louis
about two-thirds Of the journey.
He and his brother, two southern
mountaineers, who still dress in the
Tennessee mountaineer style, ap
peared at the Boise station with tick
cts to Nashville. He remarked that
he wanted to check his dog through
and asked whether or not he could
get off at certain stations to feed and
pet the animal.
That dog is powerful fond of me,
he remarked in explanation
His face fell somewhat when he was
told that 1t would cost him something
like SO to check the dog.
why can't he go on our tickets p
he said.
When told that he would have to
pay $3.50 to St. Louis and another
fee from then on. he said:
well. that cur thinks so powerful
much OF me reckon I'll have to pay
1t. 1t makes no difference about the
kind Of dog, If you love him, you
know" and he slowly counted out the
money from an old miners wallet and
put the dog In the baggage car, with

THE AR% AY.

Human Hearts," three-reeI Imp
comedy drama, will be shown tonight
at the Arkway. The story has action,
grip and pathos, combined with some
splendid realism. Those scenes show
ing King Baggot as the hero, Tom
Logan, in the state prison doing time
are necessarily correct and impress
sive. They were taken within the
walls of state prison, and show the
hundreds of convicts and the life they
lead. And the mission of Toms moth
er, made blind through sorrow over
her sons misfortune, to the governor
to plead for pardon for her son gives
us some scenes of pathos that pull the
heart-strings taut with emotion.
