German Youth, Fleeing War, Has
Exciting Time.
Adalbert Krause Reaches Texas After
Escaping Death at Sea and in
Mexico-GGts So for Bale Of
Villa Money.

Fort Worth, TeX.-Nhen Adalbert
Krause. eighteen years old. Ger
man youth. left Berlin just before the
start of the war, hoping TO reach the
United States and thus escape mill
tary service, he little dreamed of the
exciting events he would experience
before he attained his goal.
Krause is industrially. not militarily,
inclined. but before reaching this coun-
try he faced starvation. was pursued
by German officers, was beaten by
sailors, nearly shipwreckcd, escaped
from a ship at Tampico and was at
tackled and robbed by Mexicans. But
Krause never lost hope and finally
reached FL Paso, a town he never
had heard of in Germany, and only
a few days ago arrived in Fort Worth.
where he wants to become a captain
of industry and naturalized Ameri-
can citizen.
When Krause left his home in Ber-
lin he first went to Hamburg, where
he played hide and seek with the po-
lice and other officers and between
times tried to get work. Despite rigid
economy Krause soon was reduced TO
eight cents, and he was getting des-
perate when he obtained a position
as mess boy on board a Hamburg
American line vessel. This ship first
took him to Spanish ports and later
to Tampico, Mex. On the way the
vessel encountered severe storms and
the crew prepared to abandon the
ship. Krause thought his end had
come, but the ship weathered the
gale Then the seamen began to treat
Krause roughly, sometimes beating
him.
One night, when the vessel was at
Tampico, Krause babe farewell to the
ship. He could speak no Spanish, and
having little funds he met difficulties
wherever he turned. Finally he got
work at San Luis Potosi in an oil
plant, where he could not understand
the Indifferent and lazy customs of the
Mexican laborers.
Once he went to learn why some
poems failed to bring him water for his
boiler from a nearby river.
He found the poems sitting on the
bank smoking cigarettes in good ole
leisurely Mexican style. The sigh
stirred his Teutonic blood and there
was a fight. Krause fought with hi
fists, and being 1.-THE and muscular wa:

COSTS MONEY TO BE PEER
London Society Interested in Seeing II
New Ones Will "Give Up" for
Regalia.

London.-In these days Of war econ
omy society is interested to see
whether the newly created peers will
go to the expense of purchasing full
regalia of their rank in the peerage.
The principal item in the bill is the
coronet, which the owner may not
have a single opportunity Of wearing
during the rest of his life.
The market price of a coronet OF
1S-carat gold, with a jeweled cushion.
is about $4,000. A viscount's cOronet
is surrounded by 16 small pearls,
while a barons is set with six large
ones.
Another expensive item is the robe
of scarlet and ermine, the cost of
which varies from 5000 to $3.50. This
is a necessary purchase. as it has
to be worn when the new peer makes
his debut in the upper chamber. The

famous English war correspondent,
Russell of the Times, who followed
the Prussian army In 1870, about the
destruction of the Chateau OF Saint
Cloud. Russell visited the chateau
with a German officer named Strautz.
A few moments before the chateau
was set afire. Strautz exclaimed:

time we will visit the magnificent
apartments. We will throw a last
glance at them, and in order that they

BIG GAME Is SLAUGHTERED
Wolves Are Causing Great Havoc
Among Deer in the North
ern Woods.

Duluth. Mimi. - Trappcrs arriving
here with wolf hides for bounty report
that hundreds Of northern Minnesota
deer are being slaughtered by wolves.
The exceptionally deep snow and the
alternate freezing and thawing have
made a crust that will sustain the
weight of the wolves. but the sharp
fall an easy prey.
The scarcity OF rabbits. which have
been wiped out. has made the deer the
only food available for wolves, and
even the small brush wolves have as
sembled in packs and become brave
enough through hunger to attack
young deer.

CANNOT STOP PAPER
Germans Fail to Suppress the
libre Belgique.
Mysterious Belgian Newspaper Ap-
pears Regularly In Spite OF All
Efforts to Prevent It's Bold
in Criticism.

Paris. - From Brussels the news
leaks out that in spite of the thou
sands of German spies in the city the
Libre BelgiQue has succeeded in pub
fishing new issue.
The holiness and wonG -rful tena-
city of the mysterious Belgian patriots
who continue, in spite of everything,
to publish their daring paper, form an
amusing and amazing side to the war.
The Germans as soon as they had
entered Brussels took possession of
all the newspapers. The so-called Bel
gian papers published by the kom-
mandantur were in reality merely
German sheets printed in French.
Very soon after the Libre Belgique
appeared. Who was the editor? Where
was it printed? No one has ever been
able to find out, but 1t has had and
still has the courage to print all the
things which the Germans want to
remain unknown.
Until now it has appeared in about
sixty issues, that is to say almost
weekly, and it has published docu-
mentary proofs of the German mis-
deeds, has criticized German bulletins
of victories. and has prophesied from
the start the inevitable downfall Of
| Germany.
In most merciless manner it leases
the conquerors. it stimulates the Bel
gians, gives publicity to the thousands
of little tricks which the irrepressible
| street urchins of Brussels play on

White Sox Out for Ninth Win,
Browns for Thirteenth, In
American League Race.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3.-The expected
turning in the long lane to the American
League pennant has apparently been
reached today. A series Of successive
victories by teams In the rut, Of conseo-
utive defeats by others and the shat.
tering OF the pennant-machine which
BIZ Donovan had buiided for New
York seem to mark the crucial point In
the scramble for Ban Johnson's PEN
nant.
After the earnest tight . team has
made In years. the Yankees are demon
allied and have q record Of six straighe
defeats to date.
At the very moment when the Tanks
fell from the peak. Pants Rowland's
White Sox started an upward drive, and
today are out for their ninth straight.
The Red Sox. climbing into FIRST place
over the PROSTATE Yanks, have Just
taken four straight from the Tigers. Up
out OF the depths. the sound Of Fielder
Jones' Browns. with twelve straight
wins, Ia heard, while lower yet Connie
Macks Athletics are setting a pathetic
record with fourteen consecutive de-
feats.
The injuries which crippled the Yanks
and under which they stood so gamely
for a while have apparently cost Dono-
vans men their place In the sun. The
same ill-luck pursued the fighting Glove
land Maps. who lost their star. Speaker.
Morton may never pitch again.
Today. the worlds champion Red sox
are defying fate and tearing along in
the lead. followed by the ambitious
