LIEUT.. MARCONI'S
 BIRTHDAY

Lieut.. GugIieImo Marconi, world famous inventor and an officer in the army of His Majesty King Victor Elm manuel, will pass his forty-second
 milestone today. In the midst of his military duties the celebrated inventor of the wireless has found time to pur- sue his electrical investigations, and it has been whispered about that he is at work on an invention which, if sue cessful, will revoIutionize certain phases of warfare and assure the sue cess of the Allies. Lieut.. Marconi was
 born in Bologna, of an Indian father and an Irish mother, on April 25, 1874, and was educated at Leghorn and Bologna University. His first experi- ! ments in wireless telegraphy were made in his native city, but were given their first scientific test in England,
 between Penarth and Weston, with
 success.
 ] Lieut.. Marconi, in a recent inter view, expressed the belief that there l is little likelihood of the war being brought to an end this year. He in sists that the Germans are tired of war and anxious for peace, but that they not are yet ready. to consent to terms ] that would be at all acceptable to the l Allies
 '"The bulk of Germany's popu1a- l tion,'' says the inventor, t'believe that Germany has accomplished enough to enable her to dictate terms advantage ous to herself. They have the false l idea that the Allies ought to be ready | to quit now. They will all pull to- gether for German victory, even hard
 CT than ever, when thes grim deter
 imitation of the Allies dawns on their
 minds. So the war will have to go
 on, and I fail to see any prospect of I the end of it by next Winter. From l observations I have made everywhere, | am sure the conflict will go on, re- grettable as it is, beyond next Christi
 mas. Ultimately the side strongest in
 men and money must win, and that's
 the Allies.
 | Germany cannot go on indefinitely
 with the terrific strain or her financial
 resources. while, every one knows the drain upon her men is terrible. Britain
 has the money to finance the war to 1 a. victorious conclusion, and upon her
 the financial pressure must come hard 1 est of all the Allies. Russia, France and Italy have men, while Britain is also throwing vast armies into the field. As the months go by this bulk ] of men and money is bound to win
 the war for the Allies, but it is going
 to be an awful strain on all the na-
 tions before victory comes. Italy is
 throwing all her strength into the war
 Already she has 3,0OO,oO0 men in
 arms. Difficult times are ahead, but 1 the Allies must and will conquer.''

THE UKRAINE

| Perhaps the bravest warriors in the
 Czar's army are those recruited from the Ukraine, in southern Russia
 comprising the governments of Kieff.
 Ukraine is Polish for ..frontier,'' and l consists for the most part of a vast fertile plain, where dwell some tEir- ty millions of people. 1 Ukraine was | once the seat of an independent king dom, and a bone of contention be- tween Poland Turkey, Muscovy and Lithuania. The Poles were often de- feated in their attempts at the con
 quest of Ukraine by the fierce vaIor of the Ukranian Cossacks. In the mid
 de of the seventeenth century the Ukranians entered into an alliance with Russia against the Poles and in 1872 the Cossacks were victorious
 Ten years later, however, the Ukraine
 was divided between Russia, and Po-
 land, Poland having the west side of the Dneieper and Russia the right
 At the partition of Poland in 1795 the | whole of the Ukraine passed to the Czar. The people were permitted to
 retain their own lanEuage, customs
 and religion, withoutt Muscovite in iterference The great majority are l adherents of the Uniat church. The
 Ukranians represent about the pur- est blood of the S1av race, and are { truer to the Slav type than other | Russians. There are several millions 1 of UkranlanS Tn Austria and Hungary, | and vast numbers of them have erni- | grated to America, a very large pro portion settling in Canada, where i they are known as sturdy and hard
 working farmers and laborers. About
 two centuries ago Russia offered to restore the kingdom of Ukraine, and l the first Duke of Marlborough was
 proffered the crown if he would use
 his influence to induce England to
 become the ally of Russia in the war
 with Sweden, but the Duke did not
 look favorably upon the proposaI.

superstitions Connected
 With St. Marks Festival

This is the feast day of St. Mark, when the Christian. world reveres the
 memory of the great evangelist In former times many superstitions were connected with St. Marks Day. and Eve. Most of these were simple and harmless, but one at least was eapa- ble of working much mischief. This superstition was based on the beliefT7 only lately abandoned in some of the remote rural districts of England-that a watcher on the church porch from eleven to one o'clock of the night, would see the separations of all those who were to be buried in the church yard during the coming year. Ancient records contain accounts of many instances in which these pro- phetic visions were fulfilled. In many
 cases men declared that they had seen the apparitionsl of their enemies on
 these midnight vigils. If the victims of the malignant liar happened to be Of a superstitious trend of mind, they of a. year, and thus fulfilled the prophecy. ten worried themselves to death within
 This form of murder had the great | advantage to the murderer of entail ing no punishment for himself.
 A more innocent custom connected with the festival Of St. Mark was that which led simple-minded naidens to believe that if they would hang up their garments and gaze steadfastly at them as the hour of midnight ap- preached, they would see an appari- ton of their future spouse. This su- perstition was expressed in a verse which ran:
 On St. Marks Eve. at twelve o'clock, : The fair maid will watch her smock, i To find her husband in the dark, l By praying unto good St. Mark.

NOTICE.

There seems to be some misunder- standing on the part of some of the men who were nominated for office at the Democratic primary which was held last March. That was Demo cratic primary and was held by the Democratic party for the purpose of nominating Democratic candidates. The men who were nominated in March were put forward by the Demo cratic party as its nominees to be voted on in the general election, which will be held on November 7th.
 Every nominee who wants his name placed upon the ticket to be voted on lat the general election in November should go to the treasurer, pay the fee, take a receipt from the treasurer, and then take this receipt to M. W. Greeson, who is the chairman of the County Election Board. He will then place the name of the person on the ticket Because man was nominated at the primary in March does not mean that he is elected; it merely means that he was put forward by the Democratic party as its choice to be voted o1 in November.
 Those who have not paid their fee to the Treasurer, to have their name put on the ticket, should do so imme diately, or else their name will not he on the ticket.
