Shaft Wili Be Erected on Scottish Coast to the Memory of United
 States Soldiers.

Nature has built on several of Scot lands western islands great stone shafts that are viewed with wonder and admiration; man has erected on others many columns and monuments that are renowned in art and history. To mention notable examples, the natural may be seen in the baSaltlc pillars of Skye and Staffa, the artistic in the memorials to Scottish, Irish and Norwegian kings In the burying ground of St. COlumba's isle, Iona. There will shortly appear amid this eoncourse of records a monument al- together novel, new-world monument. by which America will signalize the memory of her young soldiers of free dom whom Germany's submarine dev- tltry drowned in the adjacent waters. On this knoll lofty monollth of i'm perishnble granite will be raised in honor of the brave who went to death undismayed and self-contrOllea.
 ISlay was the chief seat of chose fighting chleftains, the lords of the isles, who began in the twelfth century their incessant warfare with the Norsemen, and the title of the island princes has descended to the Primes of Wales. QuieScent past and stirring present seem to meet on this pic turesque island. If the shades of the Old.world kings ever visit the royal tombs at Iona, they need look south but 30 miles to see towering sign Of the making of new.world history. :

FRESH CLUE HAD 10 OL0 GOLO
 ROBBERY


 A new chapter is written in the Kincaid gold robbery at Daw- son after the lapse. of eleven years says the Dawson News. Phil Kelly day before yesterday found 8 DOT ton of mail pouch in the grounds at Government House. The pouch bears marks plainly indentifying 1t as one of the sacks used by the U- nited States government for the car rying of registered mail. It had been cut in two, and the portion to which the lock Is attached is Sey- cred entirely from the other part. The lock is unopened. It is the style of lock which automatically registers a new number every time 1t is opened. An empty buckskin poke also was found by MT. Kelly.
 This sack no doubt is one of the several which were stolen from the mails at the time George Kincaid, the then government carpenter at this place, got away with tens Of thousands of dollars in gold dust. Kincaid, as carpenter; had access to the Dawson postoffice at various hours, and during shifts when no one else was there and in the days when gold dust was left about in sacks where 1t could be reached easy, he took several of the sacks The gold was from Fairbanks and was enroute during the esason of navigation to Seattle. For & long time after the mail was stolen there was no clue ito 1t. The Royal North west Mounted Police and special de tectiyes worked on the case 8 long time, and finally fastened the sus- picion on Kincaid. Just about that time Kincaid, took 8 steamer at Dawson for Whitehorse. He was shadowed by a sleuth, and was be- tween here and Whitehorse when he was put under arrest. He was scarcely in custody when he com mitted suicide on the boat by taking poison. His remains were brought back to Dawson and buried here. The most of the gold never was re covered. The sum total stolen 's said to have been about S4S,OOO. A long time after the crime was com mitted many of the small empty packages in which the gold was packed for shipping and some Of the empty sacks were round under the public school building in Daw- son. They had been buried far back under the building, and work men made the discoveries when dig ging to repair the foundations. some of the gold also was found burieG there. A great deal of the gold likely was spent by Kincaid tn DaW- son, as he lived a fast pace here for long time.

article the socialist newspaper Vor-

newspaper, "have the opportunity OF
obtaining a peace not prescribed by
the war map, but based on the equi-
poise of the military and economic
forces on both sides.
"The policy of truth demanded by
Philipp Scheidemann (socialist leader)
requires an admission that the eco
nomic forces of the German people are
not inexhaustible and the fact tnat we
are cut off from overseas raw materlai
