There are conditions in the pines
that are deplorable, but there are a
great many very good people living in
this section, and the whole population
should not be brought into condem-
nation for the acts of few. We find
distressing conditions in every COM
munity, especially in our larger cities
The homes of the people in the pines
are widely separated except in few
instances, and the people are obliged
to walk or ride miles to secure that
sociability that is easily secured at
closer range in our larger settled COM
munities. Therefore, acts of lawless-
ness and immortality are widely her
aided. The work of the commissioner
in this district is meeting with wide
success, and with continuation of the
work that is now going on we are very
confident in our opinion that condi-
tons within another year will be far
above the normal.

stands for It, does have a way of
shrinking into littleness, not to say
cheapness, when one can get the

needful detached point Of view"
The trouble shadows in the eyes Of
the young woman who was sitting in

For Brouillard It had seemed the
most natural thing In the world to fall
under the spell of enchantment. He
knew next to nothing Of the young
woman's life story; he had not cared
to know. It had not occurred to him
to wonder how the daughter Of a man
who drilled and shot the holes In his
own mine should have the gifts and
belongings-@when she chose to display
them-of q woman Of a much wider
world. It was enough for him that she
was piquantly attractive in any char
acter and that he found her marvel
ously stimulating and uplifting. On
the days when the devil Of moroseness
and irritability possessed and mad
dened him he could climb to the cabin
on high Chlgringo and find sanity. 1t
was keen Joy to be with her, and up
to the present this had suficed.
'Egoism is merely another name for
the expression Of vital need" he
said after the divagating pause, de-
filming the word more for his own sat
isfaction than in selt-defense.
"You may put it in that way II you
please" she returned grayely. "What

so much he was able to say quietly.
Then the control mechanism burned
out in a flash of fiery rage and he
cursed the guest fiuently and compre-
hensively, winding up with a crude
and savage threat Of Acknowledgement

But the wave Of insane wrath was
already subsiding, and Brouillard, half
ashamed OF the momentary lapse into
savagery, was once more scowling
down at the pages of his notebook,
when the door opened and Quinlan,
the operator, came in with a commu-
nieation fresh from the Washington
wire. The message was an indirect
reply to Hosfora's telegraphed appeal
to the higher powers. BrouilIard read
1t, stuck 1t upon the file, and took a
roll Of blueprints from the bottom
drawer Of his desk.
Here are the drawings for your
power installation, Mr.. Hosford," he
said. handing the roll to the man in
the chair. And little later he went
out to smoke a pipe In the open air,
leaving the message Of inquiry he had
intended to send unwritten.

THE WORLDS GREATEST
NAVAL BATTLE Fought
BIG SHIPS OF BRITISH AND GER.
MAN NAViEs ARE DESTROYED
BY HEAVY GUN FIRE.
THOUSANDS ARE LOST

The greatest naval battle in all his
tory has been fought, and was staged
in the North Sea, off the coast Of
Jutland, between the German and Brit
ish fleets.
Picking its way from its base in the
Kiel canal the German high sea fleet
on Wednesday afternoon emerged
into the North Sea and engaged the
British fleet throughout the afternoon
and night i'll what probably was the
greatest naval battle, SO far as ton
mage engaged and tonnage destroyed
Is concerned.
When the battle ended Great Brit
ain had lost the cattle cruisers Queen
Mary, interchangeable and InVinCi5le,
the cruisers Deience, Black Prince and
Warrior and eight torpedo boat de-
/ stroyers, while the German batCleShip
POmmern was sent TO the bottom by
torpedo and the cruiser Wiesbaden
sunk by the British gunfire. In add.
ton several German torpedo craft
are missing and the small cruiser
Frauenlob was last seen badly listed
and is believed TO have gone to the
bottom. These losses have all been
admitted by Great Britain and Ger
many.
Great BIitain's admitted loss in ton.
mage was 1l4,S10 for six battle cruis-
er5 and cruisers. That Of Germany,
excluding the tonnage of the Wies.
baden, of which there is 10 record,
was 1912. The tonnage of the CAPT.
tai ships sunk by the Japanese in their
fight with the Russians in the battle
OF Isushima in May, 1905, aggregated
$4,000. Twenty-one Russian craft were
destroyed in this fight, including six
battleships and four cruisers. The re-
mainder OF the sunken craft comprised
coast defense and special service YES
sells and torpedo boats.
Great Britain mourns for more than
four thousand Of her best seamep and
the whole naSion is oppressed with
sadness. TEere were some six thou.
sand men on the ships which sank
and only few hundred have been
saved. Rear Admiral Hon. Horace
Lambert Hood, second in command to
Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, and
Captains Sowerby, Cay and Prowse
were lost. There were no surrenders
and the ships which went down car.
ried with them virtually their whole
crews. The German loss will also
! run into the thousands.
While Germany still holds to her
original announcement of losses-a
battleship, three cruisers and several
torpedo boat destroyers, the British
admiralty says there is the strongest
grounds for suppoSing that the Ger
mans lost two battleships, two dread.
nought battle cruisers, nine torpedo
boat destroyers, four light cruisers
and submarine-eighteen vessels In
all. The admiralty says that with the
destruction Of these ships Germany's
losses were not relatively, but abso.
lutely. heavier than those OF the Brit
ish.
