 FINAL SHAPE
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Mar. % Administration plans for army pre- paredness today began to take on deIn.te shape. Senator Chamberlain, Of Oregon. had a long con .erenee with the President regarding the adoption of some system of military training for all able bodied men ct seTyiCcablc ages, thus insuring an army capable of being mobilized at a days notice and ready to take tho field without having to spend months training and concentration camps.
 He advised the President that he, as chairman of the senate committee on military affairs. would introduce universal training bill at the spe- cial session of congress, and gave 1t as his opinion that the President al ready has the necessary authority without further congressional action to call out an army of 100000 men by ordering out the regular army and national guard organizations re- cruited to their full war strength
 It is understood that the President is still non-committal regarding Chamberlain's universal training bill. declining to make any announcement as to whether he will ask it's enact ment or not. Senator Chamberlain declared that he was very hopeful Of it's passage.
 NO FAITH IN GERMANY.
 WASHINGTON, D. C.. Mar. 29.- While it is assumed that the Presi- dent will ask congress to declare a state of war to exist between Ameri- ca and Germany when it convenes Monday, 1t is thought that he will speak on broad lines, touching light ly on those incidents that have led up to the present crisis. This is the opinion of officials who are in close touch with the administration
 Government officials here declare positively that Chancellor Hollwegs address to the German .reiChstag to- day will not affect the situation in the least. They state that the Am eriCan government has lost all faith in Germany's good faith. and that Germany is felt to be the greatest danger today to world peace.
 GERMANY'S LAST WORD SPOKEN.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar 29- Reports received here state that the German chancellor addressing the relChstag today, said that If the Am eriCan congress declared war on ac- count of the German policy of sub marine warfare. Germany is not r~ spons ble. This is apparently Ger. manys last word on her unrestricted submarine policy. No promise of address.

WHO in MONTANA
HAS SEEN EAGLE
GUARDIAN BIRD OF BLACK EA-
GLE FALLS, FIRST SEEN BY
LEWIS AND CLARK.
Half Century Later What Is Believed
to Have Been Same Bird, Was
Seen by General Reynolds, Who
Came to the Great Falls of the Mis-
souri, in 1860.

Are there any old time pioneers
living in Montana who have seen, in
the earlier days of their residence in
this state, the famous Lewis and
Clark eagle? If there should be
Frank B. Linderman of Helena
would be glad to hear from them.
An eagle, long-lived, vigilant, the
guardian spirit of the Liberty of the
Missouri, is believed to have lived
on an island just below the cataract
which lifts its tumbly head three
miles below the mouth of the Sun
river, from the time of Clark's ex-
%ploration until at least as late as
1872. Lewis and Clark describe the
bird and the nest which they first
saw in 1905. General Reynolds, who
visited the spot in 1860, found the
nest and a large eagle in it, in 1860.
Again, in 1872, Thomas Roberts
who was ordered by the government
to examine the upper stretches of the
Missouri from Three Forks to Fort
Benton, to determine the possibilities
of its navigation with small steam.

around the turn above the great

MAKE PAPER FROM
MONTANA SPRUCE
HIGH PRICE OF PRINT PAPER
TO START PULP MANUFAC-
TORIES IN STATE.
Mckee and Rhule, With Montana
Capitalists, Have Eye On the
Spruce Forests of West; Mime
apolis Company Is Formed to
Build Mill on Flathead Lake.

1t is not at all improbable that the
high price of print paper will at
tract to Montana several large pulp
manufacturing concerns, to manu-
facture paper stock from the meas
ures of spruce timber, which abounds
in certain sections OF the state.
To give some idea of the possibili-
ties of this industry, 1t may be re-
called that at the recent investiga-
ton into the cost or manufacturing
print paper, federal experts fixed the
cost at $1.68 per hundred pounds.
For this value the average daily pa
per in Montana, and all over the
west for that matt is paying on
new contracts all the way from 81
to Sc per hundred pounds, and small
er consumers, those who do not pur-
chase in carload lots, are paying
much higher prices.
Mckee Would Make Paper.
James Mckee, a manufacturing
printer of Spokane and Butte, togeth'
err with Ray Rhule of Butte and
number of other Butte capitalists
contemplates the establishment of {
pulp paper mill in the Flatheat
country.
George Thompson, a paper manu-
facturer of western Canada, contem
plates coming to Montana to estab
fish a similar industry.
The Glacier Pulp and Paper com
pany, a new concern, organized by ST
Paul and Minneapolis financiers, will
construct a large paper mill near Bi
Fork, on the Flathead lake. Thi
mill is to be constructed at once. an
should be in operation late in tn
fall of this year.
Minneapolis Capitalist Interested.
E. S. Warner of the McGill-Warne
company of st. Paul; G. M. and L.
Gillette of the Minneapolis Steel an
Foundry company; J. F. Jordan

GREAT FALLS RECLUSE FALLS
INTO FORTUNE; WILL GIVE
1T TO SCHOOL FOR BOYS.
Lives Life of Cave Man and Will
Come to Him; the Remarkable
Story of James Cowan, Montana
Observation-Disclosures.

If you were so old that you were
approaching the allotted span OF
years, and all your life you had
walked hand in hand with adversely
and privation, and suddenly there
should come to you, like a bolt of
lightning from the clear sky, a for
tune, would you feel like devoting
the major portion of this money to
the good of your fellow man?
That is just what is happening in
Great Falls. James H. Cowan, a re-
cluse, in the winter of a life of hard
ship, has come into a fortune
through the sale of power rights to
the Montana Power company. He
has realized from this sale $4,000
in cash, and has deposited 100000 of
this money in a Great Falls bank for
the founding of an institution by
which he hopes poor boys, who will
work, may acquire the education
which in his youth was denied him.
Lived Like a Cave Man.
The cave man in a tropical Coun-
try lived a life of luxury as compared
with Cowan's experience. Twenty
five years or more ago he came from
his Michigan home, too much of an
invalid to do ordinary farm work.
He filed on a homestead lear Great
Falls. The government held that he
did not comply with the homestead
regulations, and took the land away
from him. In the meantime he had
filed on a ~powersite, on the Missouri
river, a few miles below Great Falls.
Here he built him a primitive dwell
ing place. Over a dugout ha-can=
structed a rude shelter, an in this
cheerless habitation he has lived
through the bleak winters for the
past 20 years.
Back of his coming to Montana is
the story of a shattered romance, OF
the girl who preferred another. Her
decision condemned him, in his own
mind, to the life of a r~ecluse, and he
came west to seek solace and
health. But notwithstanding this
disappointment and the life of pri-
walton which he seems to seek out
he has kept alive in his heart the
love of his fellow man, and the de-
sire to accomplish some good in the
world.
He is a student of socialism, ant
his socialistic beliefs, firmly i'm
bedded in his mind through years O.
reading, almost blocked the nice dea
which put him in pc -ession of hi
money. He objected to selling hi
power site to the Montana Power
company, because it is a great cor
poration.
Would Have Given Rights Away
He almost preferred giving hi
rights away, providing there woul,
be some community benefit as tn
result of the gift. Finally his friend
pursuaded him that he could sell
and use the money in some philan
thropic work. This gave him tn
