slow pace, and, taking a running
jump. managed to get my hands
over the side and hang on. My COM
rade, however, missed his hold and
fell to the ground. This was a Sc
we're blow to me, for felt the solitude
would grow upon me and thus make
me lose heart. I worked my way
over the side and fell into the truck.
Where the goods train was taking me
I had no idea, except that it was max
ing for a spot which would be within
measurable distance of the frontier.
I was sitting bordering over the
loss of my friend when suddenly I
felt something crawling over the top
of the sheet which covered the truck.
A few seconds later I heard some one
call out Michael! Michael!" I at once
recognized my comrades voice, and
the next moment we were huggtng
and kissing each other like two spoilt
children.
Our train journey was uneventful.
After about run of four hours We
saw a fairly large town in the dis
lance. We did not know, however
where we were, but we alighted on
the train coming to a stop in some
sfdings We made for the roadway
unseen, and avoiding the town we
eventually came to the River Ems,
which knew was not far from the
frontier.
With renewed vigor we went for
ward. We, however, lost ourselves,
and had to find a hiding in wood.
Here we again rested. Whilst doing
SO a large body Of soldiers passed us,
but we kept low and so escaped de-
lection. The next few hours tested
our nerves to the full We crept on
our hands and knees for fully three
miles in order to evade the frontier
guards Time and time again I
thought we were trapped, but the
guards passed on without noticing us.
When daylight broke the following
morning, we were safe over the from
tier, and we stood and waved at the
sentries in a kind of delirium Of de-
light After this all was plain sail
ing, for we were wel1-treated by the
natives of a small frontier village.
On reaching my native town I
learned that my three brothers have
become war casualtiesEno one knew
what had become of them, and my
parents had died since the war. So
decided to go to sea again. I went to
Sweden, and from there crossed to
England and from a British port
shipped as seaman. My ship has been
plying between a British and Ameri-
can port for some time. and I expect
to serve our cause against the Hun
barbarians in this way.-By the Inter-

Professor Andreade, referring to the
Balkan map, showed how the read
Justment of Balkan boundaries, based
on nationalities, would interpose two
barriers to Germanic expansion, to-
ward Asia Minor and the Orient, one
the Greek zone across Thrace, and an
other the Serb umanian link of ter
ritory which lies as a dam between
Hungary and Bulgaria. This Serb
Rumanian link is only fifty miles
across, but with Rumania getting the
Banat region. to which Professor An
dreade says she is entitled by the prin-
ciple of nationality, this Entente link
will be $50 miles across.
"And thus Entente Europe can. ac-
'complish what it chiefly seeks in the
Balkans said Professor Andreade,
friendly Entente zones intercepting
the natural route of Germanic ex-
pansion toward the Orient, and this
can be accomplished. not by force,
but by the principle of nationality

The revolver duel occurred on the
evening OF March 23 of this year at
the mouth OF Juniper Canyon on the

only pick cold trail, With a deputy
he picked up at Umatilla, he made
his way up the Columbia on a hand
car and toward dusk spotted two sus-
picious figures lurking under a rail-
way trestle. The men did not see his
approach until he was almost upon
them. Both drew their guns but the
sheriff had Mason covered before he
could bring 1t up. Pellisser broke
and ran to telegraph pole so yards
away. AS soon an Sheriff Taylor had
disarmed Mason and turned him oy-

from behind the pole. The sheriff
