MYSTERY IN OCEAN CURRENTS
No Scientist Has Been Able to Explain
Satisfactorily the Many vagaries
of the Waters.

There are as many vagaries in the
waters as In the winds. Why, for in
stance, should great ocean currents
send their warm waters acros the
wide Pacific and Atlantic? Other and
equally mysterious currents exist in
well-nigh all parts Of the world.
It Is on record that the water has run
for weeks out Of the Java sea, through
the Strait of Suda and thence back
again for the like period without any
perceptible rise and fall during those
times.
Then there is the Equatorial current
that flows into the Caribbean sea, the
ever-fiowing current to the eastward
around Cape Horn, the cold stream
flowing from the icy regions of the
north past Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia and along the American coast
to the extreme end Of Florida, the o n
tinual current running with a velocity
Of from four to five knots an hour
through the Strait of Gibraltar into
the Mediterranean sea, the swift cur
rent running across the rocks and
SnOalS OH tne emu vi DllllCOH ISlduu,
which apparently starts from nowhere
and ends nowhere in the vicinity Of
the same place, and the current which,
starting half way up the China sea-,
runs from two to three knots an hour
to the northeast and finally ends alb
ruply off the north end of Luzon.
Then we have those tidal vagaries
known the world over as bores.
Those that run up the Hugh and Ira
wadi rivers, from side to side, till they
reach their limit, often tearing the
ships from their anchorage, originate
nobody knows where OIL why.
At Singapore it has been observed
for days at a time that there has been
but one rise and fall in the "a hours.

SERVING the Commonwealth.

There are many crosses and trials
In the life of one who is endeavoring
to serve the commonwealth, but there
are also two permanent sources of COM
fort. One is the support and sympathy
of honest and reasonable people. The
other is the conviction dwelling for
ever, like a well of living water, in the
hearts of all of us who have faith in
the country. that all we do in the fear
of God and the love of the land, will
somehow be Overruled to the public
good; and that even our errors and
failures cannot greatly check the IRE
sistable onward march of this mighty
republic. the consummate evolution of
ages, called to a destiny grand
err and brighter than we can conceive.
and moving always consciously or I'M
consciously, along lines of beneficent
achievement whose constant aims and
ultimate ends are peace and righteous
ness.-John Hay.

RUSS TELLS TALE
OF CONDITIONS
IN COUNTRY
OFFICER IN CZECHO-SLOVAK
ARMY NOW IN WASH
INGTON

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 10
Captain Vladimir S. Hurban, an Of
Ificer in the Czecho-Slovak army
which Japan and the United States
have decided to aid in Siberia. has
come to Washington from Vladivos-
tok to make a report to Professor
.Masaryk, commander-in-chief of the
Czecho-Slovak army and president
of the national council.
Captain Hurban has given to the
Associated Press his story of the
experiences of the Czecho-Slovaks
from the time the army of escaped
prisoners fought their way east
ward from Ukrainia. In his story
he says:
'"The B%olsheviki gave a sufficient
proof of the fact that they are in
capable to rule. The number OF
their fighting supporters is very in
definite. They consist chiefly of
hungry masses, loath to work, who
are getting 80 to 40 rubles a day
in the Red guard. They have no
workers among them. A great
number of the Bolshevik officials
steal just like the officials of the
cars regime.
Industry, commerce. transporta-
ton, everything is at a standstill,
and there is nothing to eat.
"That spells failure Of the Boil
Ishevik government, which is now
doing everything to maintain its
power. They obey the Germans and
lAustrians to keep themselves in
power. The Germans, however. do
not want a consolidation of Russia.
"what will happen in the future
L am unable to tell. The fact is,
Russia is i'll, today powerless. II
left to her fate, the Germans will
obtain full control of her.
"But the consolidation of Rus
STA is possible. That depends en-
tirely on the good will of the allies.
Russia needs effective. firm, friend
ly help, for today she is herself
completely helpless.

CHAPTER
..SUPERFLUITY SHOP" is OPEN
ED AT RED CROSS HEAD
QUARTERS

A few days ago the surgical
dressings department of the Gold
field chapter of the Red Cross made
the regular monthly shipment to
headquarters in San Francisco. The
shipment consisted of dressings
completed in one month previous
to Aug. Is and an exceptional rec
ord was made in hat period by the
completion of 260 ga ~12x24-inch
absorbent pads, which are among
the most difficult dressings to man
ufacture.
In addition to these articles "a
hospital suits and 200 pairs of socks
were included in the shipment,
which contained in all 1900 articles.
A "superfluity shop" is now
open at Red Cross headquarters and
donations of all kinds, to be sold
for the benefit of the chapter, have
been asked. Anything will be ac-
copied and bundles will be called
for by the chapter. Later a big
sale of articles collected in this way
will be held.
No particular skill and but a
short training period is necessary
for the manufacture of surgical
dressings and more workers in this
department are wanted by the chap
ter.
Thousands of hospital garments.
knitted articles and dressings must
be produced if the large quota CIV
en- Goldfield is to be filled and wo-
men in charge of the various depart
ments of the chapter are anxious to
secure good workers so kat the
already excellent record may be
maintained.

Beauty in Common THINGS.

Why are there not more men and
women who can put some of the COM
mon things before us where their
worth and beauty can be known
through the emphasis which clear rep
resentation alone a give? 1t takes
a genius to bring beauty out of things
which seemingly have none, but there
have been such geniuses, and there
would be more if those capable did not
from sheer l~aziness seek the easier

common, and these the poet and the

one to find and Observation-Disclosures.

SHIP CORPORATION
Loss BY SUBS

bVLY NINE BOATS OPERATED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 10
Only nine ships operated by the
shipping board have been sunk by
submarines, and their loss with that
of all others due to ordinary marine
perils is but a fraction of the total
premiums paid for marine and war
risk insurance.
Estimated losses of all kinds suf-
fered by the emergency fleet cor
poration, which conducts the insur-
ance bureau, amount to about 3d.

aside up to July 20 last.

An additional four or five cents
for every dollar covers war losses
such as submarine sinkings, damage
done by floating mines and attacks
by enemy vessels. The boarfs in
surance committee is composed of
Hendon Chubb and H. F. Eggert,
both of New York, and w. r..

The insurance plan is regarded by
the board as a great aid in defeat

and men are willing to risk their
own lives with their only protection,
their own watchfulness and that of
the allied navy.

CLOSING Wild Gas Wells.

Engineering feats, comparable in The
ingenuity required, If not in expedi-
ture of effort with the closing of the
Salton sea, have been called for in re-
cent years to close wild gas wells in
northwestern Louisiana. An immense
amount of natural gas has been lost in
wells that have got beyond control in
the Caddo and Red river fields. and
the loss consists not only in the pre-
cious fuel wasted, but in the lowering OF
pressure on the associated oil. which
is rendered thereby more difficult to re-
cover. Indeed, it is asserted by some
that the ultimate yield of oil from a
pool is considerably less if the gas is
allowed to escape than if it is closed

WAR BEING WON
ON AMERICAN
TOBACCO
UNITED STATES is CHIEF
SOURCE OF BRITISH
SUPPLY

LONDON. Aug. 10. = This war,
a London paper points out, is the
first great conflict in history which
has been fought on tobacco.
In all previous wars the nations
engaged have supplied their fight
ers more or less generously with
food, equipment and munitions, but
rarely with luxuries. In the pres
emit war public and private agencies
have been working from the outset
in all the b%elligerent countries to
provide the soldiers with little Tex
tras," and the chief of these has
been tobacco.
To British soldiers almost un-
countable millions of cigarettes and
hundreds of tons of pipe tobacco
have been sent, duty free. But de-
spite these enormous shipments, the
consumption of tobacco in the Brit
ish isles has steadily increased.
The cost of tobacco has climbed
from ~ cents to 48 cents a pound
for the low-grade dark American
product, and a light China tobac-
co used for blending purposes has
jumped from II cents to SO cents
a pound.
Anxiety and v strain insep-
arabic from a great war are held
responsible for the increase in
smoking at home. Testimony from
the front is that without generous
supplies of tobacco the men could
not withstand the strain of c%ontinu-
Gus conflict.
The chief source of British sup
ply is the United States.

CONSUMPTION MAY
BE FORCED ON
IRELAND
RECRUITING CAMPAIGN HAS
MADE LITTLE IMPRESSION
ON NATIONALISTS

DUBLIN, Aug. 20. - Americas
participation in the war is the
trump card used by the Irish re-
cruiting council formed to put into
effect the governments offer to ac-
cept $4,000 voluntary recruits from
Ireland in place of three or four
times that number of conscripts.
They are publishing widely the
declarations of American cardinals,
archbishops and bishops and evil
dence of cordial participation in the
war by Irish Catholic Americans.
They point out that the war is as
much Americas and Frances as it
is E~ngland's and urge Irishmen to
take a fair share in it.
So far they seem to have made
only a slight impression. National
lists declare that If Ireland is to take
an active part in the war it must
first have home rule.
The Ulster party is willing to &C
cept CONSUMPTION.
According to the latest announce
ment of the government policy the
result may be, three months hence,
the forcible application of conscrip-
ton everywhere in Ireland outside
northeast Ulster.

Horses in the Philippines.

The horses in the Philippine Islands
are ponies containing a mixture of the
blood of ponies and small horses from
northern China, French-Indo-Ch iii
and Mexico, with a considerable adj
mixture of Arab blood. There are about
243, 900 horses in the islands. In Ma
Mia alone about 100 dead horses are
collected every month. which are Gre
mated, hides and all, though there is
great need of hOrsehides fors razor
strops and shoe leather. In the rest
of the islands probably $500 horse
hides are wasted every year because
no one knows where to sell them prof
itably.

WORLD SERIES TO
Be PLAYED EARLY
BASEBALL CLASSIC MAY BE
STAGED ON SEPTEMBER
3 OR 4

NEW YORK, Aug. II. - II the
world series is played, as proposed,
beginning on Sept. 3 or A this fall,
it will be the earliest start since
the baseball classic was first staged
80 years ago.
Strange to say, the initial series,
which was held in 1886, was not
begun until Oct. 90, which is the
latest date ever selected for the
playing of such a series. Another
coincidence Is the fact that the last
series played before the national
commission assumed control was
also started at an earlier date than
any other before or since.
Curtailing the present big league
season by a full month naturally
moves forward the world series
date by an equal period and should
the National and American league

premier honors of the professional
oidihOIu do III piONiOuo IN hOi III
seasons, the teams will be battling
at a time when. in other years, the
ultimate flag winners were frequent
ly in doubt.
During the period between 1884
and 1897 the opening date of the
big series fluctuated all the way
from the first days of October to
well past the middle of that month.
During the years when the Ma
tional league and the American as
'~sociation competed. the initial games
were usually played on a date
ranging between Oct. 10 and 10.
Later when the National and Amer
lean teams took up the series con
test, the earlier days of the month
were more popular.

TROOPS WITH THE BRITISH
FORCES IN FRANCE, Aug. 20. -
American soldiers during their brief
leisure moments are wandering
through ruins and over fields made
familiar to students of history by
centuries of wars and revolutions.
Some of them have already fought
on the scene of some of Napoleon's
operations in the region of the
Marine.
Some are training over ground
where the Normans fought the
French and where the French
fought the Spaniards.
Later they will, perhaps, be
marching in line of battle over the
country where the French and the
Germans have fought again and
again and where they will help the
French and the British and the

Asked to what extent the men
were profiting from these opportu-

WOUNDED SAILORS
ARE DESER
BY U-bOA1
SOLE SURVIVOR OF EGLINGTON
TELLS TALE OF BAR
BARITY

LONDON, Aug. 20. = Nine sail
ors, four of whom were dying of
wounds, left by a German subma-
rine commander to perish on a ram
shackle raft in the North sea, where
eight of them died, is the story of
Hun barbarity told by Haakon OIL
son, the sole survivor of the Nor
wegian boat Eglington, now recov-
ering in a British hospital.
When near death Gibson was res
cued by a British motor boat pa
trolling in Helgoland blight.
The Eglington was carrying coal
to Norway when attacked by the
submarine, which fired shrapnel.
The captains right arm was shat
tered, the steward was badly wound
ed in the leg, a seaman was shot
through the body and the second
mates arm was torn by splinters.
The ship filled rapidly, but the
crew put out a raft made of five
planks and supported by barrels.
A barrel of water and a cas of bis
cults were placed on the raft.
The submarine came up, fired
into the sinking bark and passed
within 20 feet of the unfortunates
as it circled about the raft.
"Not a word did the Huns say
to u.s." said Gibson, although they
could see our wounded and the
plight we were in.
"There was a stiff breeze blow
ing and l expected the raft to break
up. The submarine steamed away"
