Of Swiss Generosity to Ger man NeighbOrs

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The fol- lowing extracts have been obtained by the Times contained in a private letter received .from Switzerland; "Get Swiss into corner and ask him if cheese, butter, meat and choc- olate are not pouring over his border into Germany, and he will frankly admit it. He gives these precious goods in exchange for coal and iron and shrinks at the idea of going on rations of coal as short as those upon which poor Italy and France shiver- ed all through last winer. Of course, so long as these neutrals next door to Germany continue to be comfort able and grow rich-as Switzerland is growing. so long will Germany have plentiful sources of supply.

JUDGE GARY SAYS,
 ALLIES WIN WAR
Head of Steel Corporation Visiting Alaska on Tour on Inspection
 Talks on War

JUNEAU, Alaska, Aug. 25.- Judge E. H. Gary, head of the Uni ted States Steel Corporation, who ar rived recently on the Spokane, ac- companying Col. Jackling and his party to the north on a purely pleas ure trip, in speaking of the war situa- tion said.
 1T don't believe there are any signs of an early peace from the in formation I am able to get. It does n't seem to me that the allies can offer any terms the central powers could accept, and I am even more certain at the present time the central powers cannot offer any terms which the allies would take.
 Two years ago there could have been a settlement on a pretty fair basis-one which would have secur- ed the integrity of all the countries and with practically the same geo. graphical lines which existed when the war commenced, ana what is more important, the establishment of a basis for the prevention of future wars.
 II have some information which leads me to that conclusion.
 However, the cessation of hostili- ities was not brought about and from that time up to the present conditions seem to have grown worse from month to month.
 "Of course many things might hap pen to bring the war to a close at an early date, but they are not appar- ent now.
 'In any event it is only ques- tion of time when the allies must be successful. The largest number Of men and the largest purse eventu- ally will bring victory in any mlli- tary contest and in this case the all lies have both"

This seven reel Blue Ribbon fea- ture throbs with heart interest. The spectator is taken back three thous- and years to the time of Pharoah. His daughter tires of life's luXuries and longs for new sensations. She sends for Ami the wise man of Egypt. He gives her two potions. One will bring her a love never surpassed and the other will bring a sleep of 5000 wears duration. She takes the second and falls into her long sleep, to be purchased by an American student, in whose apartments she awakens. The situations are most ludicrous.
