MAKING POWERFUL FRIENDS

When one takes into consideration the foremost men of France and Great Britain admit the task of over throwing the heartless imperial Ger man government would be impossible but for the financial and physica, as- sistance of the United States, what a serious thing it would be to contem- plate if France and Great Britain were crushed by the German war ma chine, leaving the modern military monster in control of the world! Nat urally France and Great Britain would always feel that American selfishness had actuated this government and permitted the downfall of those gov ernments who had exhausted them selves in attempting to counter the tremendous forces engaged in the es- tablishing of a worldwide Teutonic imperialism.
 But for our participation in the war on the side of the allies, the United

 STRIKE AT ELLEMAR
---S%.-

Ellamar, July 3, 1917
 Editor Prospector: The reported strike published in your paper last week was untrue, as there is no strike here nor has there been any strike. The men are satisfied with the condi- tions and treatment and regret that this report should have been spread broadcast about a strike which did not exist. There was some little trou- ble between a couple of men, but the report of a strike as published was untrue and hope you will correct it.

Kidnaper Rolled by Nurse

MUNCIE, Ind. July 3.-An at tempt to kidnap two-year-old Lydie Oesterle, daughter of the vice-presi- dentof the Delaware National Bank, was frustrated today by Mrs. Dora Guild, the child's nurse. A man was making his way out of the house with the child when Mrs. Guild saw him and ran through the house screaming. The man put the child down, leaped out of the library window and fled in an automobile. Karl Oesterle of- fered reward for the capture of the would-be kidnaper.

States would then be required to yield to Germany or exhaust itself, in all probability, to maintain itself as an independent nation.
 But by engaging in the war, having been afforded innumerable excuses for so doing, the cooperative effort of the United States and her allies is certain to succeed.
 Germany will be defeated. Germany must be defeated. And the defeat of Germany by the combined efforts of her present enemies is also certain to establish barrier against further at tempts to overthrow reasonable inter- national law against which no power will set itself in a century, at least.
 It will be immensely costly to the United States in men and money to discharge it's full part in the war, but the cost will be infinitesimanly meas tired by the humiliation of our people by the indemnities which a triumphal Germany would wiring from us, were the Prussian military dynasty the vic tor.
 To the end that success shall be swift as we'll as certain, the energies of the American people should be mobilized that no doubt should re- main of the immense strength of the United States in it's active force as we'll as it's potential force, once its rights are assailed. Such an exhiti-ion is the very best type of national in- surance. It is the very best assurance, too, of a permanent peace when the present war shall have spent it's force

FINDS BODY OF LOST
 SON WHEN ARMY ADVANCES

LONDoN,> July 3.-A tragic story of how a father found his sons grave in the battlefield in Northern France has just reached London. Late in March Captain Eldred Wolferstan Bowyer-Eower, of the British Air Corps, went up to make a reconnais- sance. Eye-witnesses said he had flown about five or six miles behind the Hindenburg line when he was at tackled by six German flyers. The IEnglishman's machine was seen to fall and nothing more was heard of him.
 The British advance came weeks later. In the vanguard was detach- ment of the Royal Engineers. which included the missing airman's father Captain T. Bowyer-Bower. The father heard that not far away was a grave marked by cross made from pieces of a wrecked aeroplane, which bore in pencil the words: Two unknown captains of the Flying Corps"
 Knowing that his son had been brought down close by, he determin- ed to inspect the grave. The number on the remains of the aeroplane con- vinced him that his son lay buried there. And stuck to the primitive cross with a piece of mud was the tag of a tunic bearing the name of the London tailor who had made his sons uniform.
 Permission was obtained to exhume the body, and the father found that it was that of his son. The bodies were removed to cemetery few miles away.

Latouche is going to have one of the biggest, in fact the biggest cele- bration ever held in the copper town; the boys from the mine have clipped in amongst themselves and have rais- ed upward of two hundred dollars to insure the success of the celebra- tion; the programme of the day fol- lows:
 1. Trap shoot on dock, highest score 15 shots.
 2. Boys race (under years) 5O- yard dash.

 In the event of rain some of the events will be pulled of on the first fine day. Besides raising money for the Fourth, the men have raised the respectable sum of $510 towards the Red Cross fund. Between the mine and the staff house they had raised $325, and on last Sunday evening the management of the Club donated the proceeds of the movie show towards the good cause, making total Of $51O, a very good example for other towns to follow. w. A. Dickey is working a crew of 30 men on the Girdwood property ad joining the big Bonanza mine, he expects his crew to number 50 men shortly. MT. Dickey is very enthusiast ic over the results of the work so far and expects before the snow flies to have the mine on a paying basis.

Lois had taken little interest in

in him when after the Honeymoon

vowed that he would earn his own
way by his own energy. The life Of
travel and gsyety that Lois had
planned was taken from her.
Gloria had a staunch little heart. and
she kept her word to her father. She
kept faith, too, with her fance five

of talking to his photograph. When
