EARLY HISTORY OF EUROPE

Foundation Of Countries Of Ger.
many and France.

The name Franks was applied about
the middle Of the third century to =
confederation Of Germanic tribes
dwelling ON the middle and lower
Rhine. Later they became divided
into two principal groups-the Sail
ans, inhabiting the districts on both
sides Of the lower Rhine. and the
Ripuarians, settled on the middle
Rhine. In the third and fourth Ger
turtles hordes of them began TO move
southwards and afterwards into Gaul.
In 1853 Emperor Julian, although he
defeated the Salian invaders, allowed
them to establish themselves perma'
nently In Toxandria, the country be-
tween the Mouse and the Scheldt.
From this time Frankish chiefs and
warriors frequently served in the Ro-
man armies; and during the fifth CEN
fury they rendered valuable service to
the empire by stemming the tide Of
barbarian invasion. BY this time the
Salian Franks had made themselves
masters Of northern Gaul, while the
Ripuarians were concentrated around
Cologne. Under Hlodowig or Clovis,
king of the former confederation, the
Franks were converted to Christian
ity, while by his conquests in en-.
trail Gaul, and by his s%ubjugation of
the Alemanni and the Riparian
Franks, he not only extended his do
minions as far as the Loire in the
one direction and the Maine in the
other, but he laid the foundation of
what subsequently developed into the
kingdom of France.

away from that commodious house

al. he incidentally married her, and

DETAILS OF THE FIRE
 OVER AT ANCHORAGE

ANCHORAGE, Oct. l1.-Tbe mann
 moth hall of the Alaska Labor Union
 was burned to the ground last night. The fire started about ll.4O o'clock and it took the fire God Vulcan just two hours to totally destroy what it had taken many days of hard work by over one thousand representative la- boring men of Anchorage to build up. F. B. Wood was the first person Co see the flames and sound the alarm; by the time the fire department and volunteers had reached the scene the building was doomed and all efforts were concentrated in saving the num- erouS smaller residences that sur rounded the hall. That this was ac- compliShed Is due solely Co the hard work of the men of Anchorage A is usual on such occasions many mdi- crous incidents happened and much unnecessary work performed but the ! hard fact remains that the magnif- 1 cent structure erected by che brains . and brawu of che Alaska Labor Union 1. and stood as a fitting monumco, Co their efforts was totally destroyed. '. Al least a thousand citizens Of An chorage stood by and watched the flames reduce to ashes what has ever been a source or pride to the city and the largest building or i,s kind in AL aSka.
 While there is common talk tha, ,hc fire was Of juccndjary origin che o,- fcials of the union do not credit the report and are unanimous in the opjn- ion that it started from defective iue Mir. Wood was walking across 4th avenue to the post office when he noticed the flames that came from the north east corner of the building, the location of the stove The juHamma- bIe paper and cloth decorations au1 other dry material in the building can readily account for the rapid hcad- way the fire made.

STRAY DOGS LONELY VIGIL
in Five Years Canine Has Never
Deserted Grave in Ohio
Cemetery.

Fultonham, ON the cemetery a
homeless cur mourns on the grave of
George Baker. The people call her
the graveyard dog" Five years ago
the animal went to the cemetery fol-
lowing the funeral procession of
Baker, an aged farmer. who died at
his home near there Every night the
dog keeps a close vigil over the grave.
1t sleeps for hours at d stretch during
the day on the little mound that marks
Bakers resting place.
Villagers long ago gave up hope Of
coaXing the dog away. She leaves the
cemetery only long enough each day to
search for food. Friends Of Baker say
he never owned the dog. Cemetery
trustees refuse To drive the animal
away and she seems likely to spend
the rest of her days in this strange
and unusual manner.
