SWEDEN LIKELY
 TO JOIN ALLIES
 IN PRESENT WAR
Action VIII Be Sort of a CounterbalanCe to The Entry of
 Rumania
FURTHER WAR SPREAD

WASHINGTON. Sept. Ruman- ias entrance into the war on the side of the Entente Allies may be counterbalanced by the action of Sweden in joining the Central pow CTS.
 The State Department learned some time ago that an understand ing existed between the Swedish and German governments, under which, if the situation should change in the Balkans through ace tion by Rumania or Greece, Sweden would strike Russia through Fin land
 If this information should be cor rect, there will be a further spread of the war. Norway. which is eX- ceedingly broadly unQuestionably will seize the opportunity to attack Sweden, and Denmark, the third Scandinavian country, may be drawn into the bloody maelstrom
 It is the belief Of officials and the Allied diplomats in Washington that Rumanias entrance into the war sienalizes the ultimate defeat of the Central Powers.
 Sees Allies Victorious
 The Rumanian government has been awaiting the moment when the final result of the war could be forseen. Apparently it has come to the conclusion that the allies are certain 10 be victorious, and that it's interests justified Rumanla in joining them.
 The belief prevails that the treaty signed by Rumania and the Allies contemplate the cession to the for- mer of Pennsylvania. and Buko- wina. which belong to Austria-Hm- gary. This necessarily is condition al on victory.
 Army At Iron Gates
 To meet the threat from Ruman- ia. Austro-Hungary has been con centrating an army at the Iron Gates of the Danube. Bulgarian and Turkish troops attacked the Allied army. concentrated near Sal oniSi. and. according to official re- ports, punished it severely.
 At the same time, 1t is still a large force lin being and, as such, must be reckoned with.

Prohibition Does Not

The reason for the growth of the prohibition movement where it has grown is confined to the gen eral lack of understanding as what prohibition really means ana to the help that the Incompetent and law breaking saloonmen give to the opposition to them
 The fact that prohibition does not prohibit and that prohibition does not superinduce temperance is the weakness of the prohibition Prohibition does not decrease the number liquor seersit takes the sale of liquor from the control of the government and goverment-lceused saloons and places it in the hands of unlicensed end uncontrolled liquor sellers, with the result that the number of places selling liquor n- crease while no revenue results to the municipality or nation and a legitimate business becomes an Higiti- mate business When sensible people understand this condition they do not banker after prohibition Alaska is understanding it every day, and after the results achieved at Juneau Skagway, Flames, Cor dova.

Eighth Congressional
OF

Charles A. Griffin at which time it is
said that Mr.. Williams will take care
of this Alderman and see that he is
likewise sent to the brush heap. The
Colored people of the District compris-
ing more than sixty per cent of the
Republican vote in the entire District
has been denied representation on the
Board of Equalization through trick
cry, chicanery and treachery of their
false leaders whose sole ambition is to
obtain a position for themselves and to
jump at the beck and call of any White
man who will give them job and a
few nickels to defeat one of their own
race. The acts of these leaders it is
said has made it absolutely possible for
a White man to represent Colored peo-
pie on the Board for the next four
years in a district where the Colored
people if they were loyal to each other
and the interest of the race could not
only send a member to the Board of
Equalization but could elect a Con-
gresham from among the race to repre-
sent them in Washington-From the

The Electric Fan.

Back in the early eighties DR.. S. s
Wheeler. an electrical engineer of New
York, was experimenting with small
electric motor. In the course of his ex-
periments the doctor conceived the
idea that steamboats, might be run
with electricity If the prOpellers could
be directly connected to high speed
electric motors, doing away with all
the gears then in use in steam propul-
sion. With this idea In mind he had
small screw propeller constructed and
fastened il to the armature shaft OF
his small motor. To his surprise. the
experiment resulted in a fine breeze OF
cooling air which more than delighted
the experimental. for the day was de-
cidedly hot. 1t is needless to add that
the experiments with screw propellers
ended right there. and the engineer
took up the study of the electric fan.
with the result that he soon perfected
the device until 1t was commercial
success.

Lord PaImerston's Dinner.

Lord PalmerStOn was remarkable
teeder. as is shown by this account of
dis table work when he was eighty
years of age.
He ate for dinner two plates Of tur-
tie soup. He was then served very
amply to a plate of cod and oyster
sauce. He then took pate. afterward
he was helped to two very greasy look
ing entrees. He then dispatched
plate of roast mutton. There then
appeared before him the largest and.
to my mind. the hardest slice of ham
that ever figured on the table of
nobleman. yet it disappeared just In
time to answer the inquiry of his but.
Ter. 'Snipe. my lord. or pheasant BE
instantly replied, Pheasant thus com
pleting his ninth dish of meat at that
meal"
This was Lord PalmerstOn, who liv-
ed and worked like a horse till be
was eighty-one, and would doubtless
have poured scorn upon the scientific
slops and gruels offered to old men in
our day. Palmerston was one that was
nourished by his victuals and would
fain have meat-New York Post.

Some THINGS In Iceland.

Iceland is far from being a dreary
waste, for 1t exports large quantities
Of the finest grade Of wool In the
world. besides quantities Of hides.
sheepskins. feathers. Oil, fish and fish
products and. curiously enough, many
horses. The island has several natu-
raj resources that have never been de-
veloped, among them great sulphur de-
posits. One of them contains not less
than 100000 tons Of practically pure
sulphur. There are extensive deposits
Of copper ore. This, while Of a low
grade, could be worked at q huge
profit, since the water power Is un-
limited and always at hand wherever
the copper is found. There are also
large deposits Of geyserite, which Is
equal to the best Arkansas TOMBSTONE
In addition there are several sections
rich In agates and chalcedony, which
are widely used In making jewels for
the bearings Of watches and electrical
instruments. None Of them has ever
