After forcing an acquaint-

she was ON he rway to Puget

a Tacoma hotel, John Me-

the girls own ingenuity.
In police court Thursday Nc
Cullough was given 30-day jail
sentence and fine of $b2. lie
was charged with attempt to
commit a felony.
The real estate man, who Is
manager of the Globe Realty Co.,
Seattle, was in the Yakima valley
inspecting farm property.
On the train across the noun
tains Wednesday afternoon he sat
down beside the Mabton girl and
began a conversation.
Fatherly Looking.
"He was such fatherly look
ing gentleman that l let him sit
with me, and even enjoyed his
company" explained the girl to
the Tacoma police later.
Mccullough learned that Miss
Gorpodas was a country girl and
that she was on her way to Sedro-
Woolly.
AS the journey progressed. he
told her of the beauties of Puget
Sound and advised her to leave
the train at Auburn and come to
Tacoma, saying that she could
take. a boat to Seattle and still
get to Sedro- Woolly when she ex-
pected.
Arriving at Tacoma, however,
they found that the last Seattle
steamer had left.

the country girl. "I'll see that

So Mccullough escorted the girl

But while the girls back was
turned, Mccullough registered as
man and wife.
He carried her suit case to a
room, but instead of leaving at
once, locked the door, and began
playfully pinching the country
girls arm. @

officers. II had thought all the

girl exclaimed.

the real estate man replied.

STUDYING FOR THE ARMY.
(Rv Associated Press)

Cambridge, England, July 14-Cam-
bridge is recovering its old pre-war
activity, but in an entirely different
way. Where the streets formerly were
filled with devil-may-care students
they are now full Of khaki clad men,
hurrying to and fro on military err
ranGs. Sharp words Of command at
every gateway replace the vague my
sterious noises by which the students
conveyed information to their friends.
While the army, in the early days of
war virtually emptied the University
town, it has now three years after,
filled it with men of all ages who are
making the colleges their W for
some months, studying for the army,
working in lecture rooms on military
problems while the playing fields are
given over to their drills.
Men students are carce these days
and the final batch of applicants for
entrance shows a record of only one
hundred as having passed the exami-
nations, virtually all of whom are I'M
fit for military service against $40
and 1926 in 1915.
Women have had a successful year,

THE CHAUTAUQUA AT WORK.

War could not interfere with the chautauqua
system, and while the nation keeps a weather eye
upon the news from Washington and the Europ-
can capitals, millions of Americans are being en-
tertained and instructed at countless chautauqua
tents throughout the nation.
The chautauqua has been a greater force in
American life than is generally realized. As an
institution of reform it has done a work that too
often has gone unrecognized. For decades it has
been preaching certain Notwithstanding tenn
perance-whereever it has thrown it's tents, and
the effect, especially throughout the west, has
been self-evident. For years it has fearless'y al
tackled evils and has sown the seeds that brought
in harvest in a better day. We now have % bone
dry" states and half a dozen others on the way
there or VIRTUALLY" dry. Who will have the tenn
Gritty to claim that the chautauqua system has not
had a striking hand in this achievement?
Reactionary interests and the liquor industry
hate chautauquas. Their papers lose no opportun-
ity to deride and defle the system. They have
good reason to fear it.

GERMAN SOLIDARITY.

1t is true that the German people stand like
a solid phalanx behind the kaiser and his auto
cratic ministers. And some Of us undoubtedly
hold this against the German people. Not so the
president and most Washington officials, however.
They conclude correctly that the reason for Ger
man solidarity is national delusion. It is logical
not to blame a deluded person so much as the
powers of delusion.
Through censorships, control of the public
press, control of the leaders in every department
of life, the German people today are bound up in
cutlery, hocus-pocus and mental trickery.
One of the entente aims is to let in the light.

LONDON NO "FORT."

One of the lies fed to the German people is
that London is a great "fort." Following an air
raid on London, the sterotyped report comes from
Berlin that the "fort of London" was bombed
with good results"
Thus the German people are fooled into think.
ing that their Zeppelins and aeroplanes really
fight the guns of forts at London, when in reality
the only guns there are anti-aircraft guns put up
after the German bombardments became common.
Needless to say, the German people are never
told of the number Of women and children MUIR
dered during such raids. This would be decided
bad policy and might induce "reprisals" right at
home.
