Cross Andes in Balloon.

The mighty Andean mountain range
Of South America, the highest in the
western hemisphere, has just been
crossed by aerOnauts for the first time.
The feat was accomplished by two men
in balloon. The aerOnauts left San
tiago, Chile, on the Pacific side, and
descended five hours later in Mendoza
on the eastern slope of the range, in
the Argentine Republic. They report,
ed very difficult trip, and had to rise
to great height to catch favorable
air current So far the Andes have
not been crossed by airplane.

SUNSET ON LAKE SUPERIOR
ture Painted by Old Sol at the
Close of the Day.

A sunset on Lake Superior! Match
1t, in its respondent beauty on late
November day, If you can. The clouds
that had darkened the sun as the
Transcontinental Limited sped along
the precipitous shores, melted away,
leaving narrow streaks, like ribbons of
gray floating above the waters rim.
Dappled gray clouds in masses chung
to the zenith. The slowly setting sun
began to paint its own heroic picture.
The ribbons of clouds changed from
gray to pearl, from pearl to amethyst
and then to richest gold. The convo-
luted masses overhead wildly reflect
ed these changes. The quiet waters of
the lake shone like a mirror of pol
ished bronze. The sun was sinking
fast. While the passengers were voic-
ing their delight, the last ray Of the
sun disappeared, and lake and rocky
shore sank into the shadows of night.
AS the train climbed above the lake its
waters were left out of the range of
vision, but, strangely enough, the lake
seemed to appear again in the dis
lance, with low-hilled islands outlined
in faint glow of red. We discov-
cred that what seemed to be islands
were floating clouds, and what seemed
to be the water in which they rested
was an illusion. 1t was caused by the
clear atmosphere lit by the gray light
Of fast-falling eventide. 1t was beau
tiful and impressive, but an illusion
that quickly disclosed itself and melt.

A warder ran to the knight, who was
wan and broken from long hours of I'M
availing grief. ooh, sir! ~ cried the
man. ''There is before the draw-bridge
a most wondrous lovely woman, clad
richly in scarlet and gold. Never have
we seen any so slim, so dainty, so
sweet! And, lord, she rides on your
horse!"
The knight bounded down the stairs
and through the portal. He lifted down
the bride, kissing her hundred times
and more. Then he sent for a chaplain
and led her to the chapel of his house
where they were married forthwith.
In the meantime, there was wild
trouble among the wedding party. The
old lord and the old bridegroom tore
their boards and laid Justify with whip
and boot on the guards, who made mad
clamor, blaming each other. To them
at last spurred rider sent by Messire
William with this message:
"Sir, my master sends you assur-
ance of his great friendship. He also
charges me to say to his uncle, who
betrayed him so shamefully, that he
pardons him the more easily for the
reason that your daughter has given
herself to him as a gift this day"
The old lord listened with wonder
and anger. But he took thought to
himself, and concluded that since she
was married, nothing. he could do
would undo it. Therefore, presently,
all the company rode peacefully to the
knights castle, where the old noble
embraced his undesired son-in-law with
all courtesy, while the graybeard of a
bridegroom who was not a bridegroom
tried in vain to discover a few crumbs
of comfort that might console him.
Failing in this, he went home and
died, which was a favor to Messire
William, since all his wealth went to
the knight. And there Is no trouba-
dour in Champagne who ever has told
or sung this story who was not forced
to add, in accordance with the truth,
that there never was horse in all the
world that was so honored and beloved
as the horse that stole the bride and
brought her to her bridegroom.

to reduce interference with industry to
a minimum, but it was the interest OF
the nation solely that must be sub
served"
As a direct slap at marriage slack
ers'' the government will automatically
appeal from every exemption on the
grounds of dependency. Some person
will be designated to make this appeal
to protect the governments interests.
This designation (of a party repre-
senting the government has already
been made for each local board or will
be made within the next few days,
General Crowder announced.
VIII Appeal Exemptions.
This person." 1t was explained, may
appeal exemptions or discharges on
other grounds besides dependency If he
thinks injury to other registrants or to
the government makes such appeal de-
sirable."
The purpose of the appeals Is to OBJ
tain nation wide uniformity In exemp-
ton rulings, which is regarded as
, otherwise impossible from 1867 local
boards.
All registrants are invited by General
Crowder to report any improper ex-
emptions.
Discussing industrial exemptions,
General Crowder said that district
boards were ''powerless to relieve cases
In which private loss or hardship rath-
er than national necessity were at
stake.
otherwise another man would be
asked to offer his life In order that this
mans material benefit be served" said
General Crowder.
10000 Held For Evasion.
Approximately 10000 persons have

Ever since June 8, registration day,
the department of justice has been
quietly at work all over the country

still on.

Especial Correspondence


Misunderstanding the capital siz-
zled and collars melted during the In
tense hot weather that Washington,
together with other cities, experienced
Sheppard amendment to the food con
troll bill, known as the "bone dry"
amendment, vas passed by the senate,
but was postponed by the house. I'm
der the terms of this amendment the
nation will become dry if t~hirty-six of
the states rattfy it during the next
six years. The action on this amend
ment will probably do much to expe-
dite the passage of the food control bill.
The past week In Washington brought
about the first rumors of an early adj
1ournment of congress. There are only
a few measures, absolutely necessary
for the conduct of the war, now up for
consideration, and it is stated by lead
ers Of both parties that If congress gets
a nov on, 1t can adjourn by the mid
die of September. 1t required a tenn
perature of 90 in the shade to create
these rumors, however. 1t may also
be mentioned hat some of the long
winded speakers have about talked
themselves out and are ready and will
ing to go home.
$3,0oo,0oo,ooo Loan on Nov. is.
The second liberty loan-for $3,000,-
O00,000-will be launched Nov. 10,
treasury officials said. Before that
time 1t is planned to issue nearly ST.
000,000,000 in treasury short time GER
tifcates to meet immediate needs.
On the eve of the announcement Of
the second liberty loan treasury Off
Gals are at a loss for a name to distin-
,guish it from the first.
To sell the second issue of bonds a
campaign Is being planned which will
~overshadow the organization and pub
licity which made the first bond issue
so great a success. Much of the first
organization will be used, conferences
with district liberty loan committees
and prominent bankers from all parts
of the country already having been held.
A new feature in the second bond
selling campaign will be the women's
liberty loan committee. 1t has named
state chairmen and opened Offices In
the treasury building here. The entire
campaign will be under the direction
of Secretary McAdoo and the national
liberty loan committee, which figured
In the previous issue.
Several million new posters and
100000 liberty loan buttons have been
contracted for.
To Fight Exemptions.
The government Is preparing to fight
claims for exemption from CONSUMPTION.
Concerned at the great number Of
those attempting to avoid service, the
provost marshal generals office an
nounced the method by which the gov
eminent would appeal to district
boards from rulings of local boards.
Warning that exemptions in agricul
ture and other industries would be
carefully scrutinized was found In the
announcement that 'the problem was
