Ebenezer Presbytery Of the Presby-

Rev. s. r. Hill, and Rev. Mr.. Handley

ably presented by Rev. II. A. Love,
and Rev. A. s. Venable; while splen-

which were served on the grounds by
the ladies of the community showed
that the high cost Of living has had
absolutely no effect on the far-famed
hospitality of the Washington people.
Rev. W. p. Hooper, pastor of the
Washington Church, was the Moder-
ator of the Presbytery. To be both
host and Moderator was a very un-
usual honor.

GERMAN BUILDINGS BURNED

Huge Crowd Joins In Demon.
stratiOn Against
Germany.

Buenos Aires, September 12-The
downtown section of the city was the
scene of the widest disorders tonight
in connection with anti-German DEM
onstrations in which thousands OF
Argentineans took part. Many OF
those in the mobs carried fire brands
and as result scores of buildings
were set on fire. Several blocks of
German business houses in Gale rs
de Mayo were destroyed.
Among the structures attacked were
the German Club, one of the finest edi-
fees in the city, and the building Of
the German daily La Union. AS fast
as the fires in these buildings were
extinguished they were started again.
Mounted police and the entire fire
department kept rushing from one
part of the city to another in an at
tempt to quell the riots and put down
the flames.
In several instances police who
were attempting to shoot at those
welding torches were set upon by the
crowds and disarmed.
Extraordinary precautions have
been taken by the authorities to pro-
tect Count Won Luxburg, the Ger
man minister, when he arrives here
tomorrow morning to receive his
passports.

Followers Decreed Rebels
Situation Stlll Serious.

Petrograd, September 1.-THE pro-
visional government today issued
decree handing over TO the courts Of
justice as rebels General Kornlloff,
former mmender-in-chief OF the
Russian armies; General Lomokisky,
chief Of the general staff; General
Markoff, the chief of the headquar-
tiers STAFF on the southwestern front,
and M. Kisliakoff, assistant to Minis
ter of Roads and communications.
The following statement which was
signed "Kerensky, prime minister and
commander-in-chief" was given out
here today:
by the armed forces of Russia,
declare my complete faith in all ranks
Of the army and the feet, In the gen.
erals, admirals, officers, soldiers and
sailors who have borne upon their
shoulders the heavy trial of the past
days.
"The half years experiment of free
existence could not fail to convince
everyone that all the extreme IRA
tional demands not instantly carried
out, wheresoever such demands may
have come from, duly cause disturb
ance to the country. Let everyone
remember whatsoever he might be,
general or soldier, in the ranks, that
the slightest disobedience of author
ity will henceforth be punished.
ut is time to cease playing with
the country's fate. Let all Russians
who strive to save the revolution and
to achieve freedom and renewal of
the committee order of government
understand become imbued with the
conviction that in this moment all
our ideas and strength should be d.
rected first of all toward the defense
Of the Fatherland, that external en-

ports reaching here today indicating
that Premier Kerensky's provisional
government was gaining strength in
its struggle to prevent General Korn-
iloff from Selling the government, fail
ed to raise the hopes of Russias
friends to any great extent.
Although accepting the govern
ment's optimistic announcement that
Korniloff's followers were few and
some Of his soldiers marching on Pc
trograd had offered to arrest their
leader, officials and diplomats said it
was difficult to Judge the strength of
the revolt. They were impressed with
the view that even should this upris-
ing be quelled promptly the inter-
ests secretly approving Korniloff's at
tempted coup would remain as dan
gerous sources for Russia's future
unity.

CHAPTER XXI.
Frederica's Paradox.

Frederica's Paradox.
Two days later Rodney walked In
on Frederick at breakfast, alone.
''Hello" Frederick said, holding out
hand to him, but not rising. "Just
in time"
Don't ring" he said quickly. "Tve
had all want. My train got in an
hour ago and had a try at the sta
ton restaurant"
"Well, sit down, anyway" said
Fredcrica. She reached out n cool,
soft hand and laid 1t on one Of Rod
ney's which rested Imply on the table.
There was rather long silence-ten
seconds, perhaps. Then:
'How did you find out about it2"
Rodney asked.
They were both too well accustomed
to these telepathic shortcuts to take
any note of this one. Shed seen that
he knew, just with her first glance at
him there in the doorway; and some
thing little tenderer and gentler
than most Of her caresses about this
one, told him that she did.
"Elarriet's back" she said. "She got
in day before yesterday. Constance
said something to her about it, think
ing she knew. They've thought all
along that yc7 and 1 knew, too" And

much the better"
Again all she could do was to asl
him, with a bewlldered stammer, what
he meant.
Because" she added, 81 can't &c
home yet. Pve-only started"
"Started!" he echoed. "Do yoU
think I'm going to let this beastly
farce go any further?"
And with that he told her what
had happened in his Office that after.
noon, told her of the attitude of his
friends, how they'd all known about
it-undoubtedly had come to see for
themselves, and, out of pity or con-
tempt, hadn't told him. He told
her how he'd felt, sitting there in
the theater. He accused her as his
wrath burned brighter, of having Sc
lected the thing to do that would hurt
him worst, of having borne a grudge
against him and avenged it.
1t was the ignoblest moment of his
life, and he knew it. The accusa-
tions he was making against her were
nothing to those that were storing up
in his mind against himself.
He didn't look at her as he talked,
and she didn't interrupt; said no word
Of denial or defense. The big out.
burst spent itself. He lapsed into an
uneasy silence, got himself together
again, and went on trying to restate
his grlevance-this time more reason
ably, retracting a little. But under
her continued silence he grew weak
ly irritated again.
When at last she spoke, he turned
his eyes toward her and saw sort of
frozen look in her dull white face that
he had never seen in it before. Her
intOnation was monOtonous, her voice
scarcely audible.
81 guess I understand" she said. 81
don't know whether wish / were dead
or not If I'd died when the babies
were born. But I'm glad /
came away when / did. And Pm glad"
she gave a faint shudder there at the
alternative, 'Tm glad I've got a job
and that I can pay back that hundred
dollars 1 owe you. I've had it quite
a while. But I've kept 1t, hoping you
might find out where I was and come
to me, as you did, and that we might
have a chance to talk. l thought I'd
tell you how I'd earned it, and that
you'd be a little-proud with me
about it, proud that could pay it
back so sOon."
She smiled little over that, a smile
he had to turn away from. 81 sup
pose I'll be glad, some day, that
it all happened; that / met you and
loved you and had the babies, even
though it's all had to end" she shud-
dered again, 'like this"
1t wasn't till he tried to speak that
her apparent calm was broken. Then,

WILL DREDCE CHANNEL BAR
 IMMEDIATELY
War Department Issues Authority; Result of Casey's Measure in
 Last Legislature.

Permission has been received in a telegram from the War Depart ment to the Territorial Road Commits sion for the First Division, to dredge the proposed channel through the Bar in the north end of Gastineau Channel to allow small boats of the fishing fleet to make Juneau from the Chatham and Icy Straits section without the long detour around the south end of Douglas Island
 The act authorizing the Road Con- missioners to use the road funds for this purpose was introduced in the House of the last Legislature by w. w. Casey Representative from Juneau, and was passed As soon as the board had been organized. Road Commissioner Ed. L. Hurlbut put men at work and full survey of the project was made.
 It was found that the dredging of the old channel across the bar was impractical on account of a ledge Of rock which extends across the chan nel. A passage was found that could be dredged through Canoe Pass, at cost of about $20,00O and it is understood that work will start as soon as possible.
