STOLE MARCH ON C0NFRERES
Secret of DiIIingham's Success In OBJ
tanning Interviews Revealed
Through an Accident.

Years ago when Charles Dilling-
ham was a reporter for the Chicago
Tribune, his assignment was to in
terview prominent hotel arrivals. His
colleagues in the same department on
other leading Chicago dailies were
Frank Vanderlip, Finley Peter
Dunno and George AIDE. The Tribune
frequently published exclusive inter
views about distinguished visitors,
and Dillingham's confreres could not
understand how he alone was able to
reach these arrivals, inasmuch as
their cards were always sent to the
latter's rooms on the same tray with
Dillingham's. One day when they
had all been sent to interview Chaun-
cey M. Depew, Dillingham; happened
to have stepped to the cigar counter
when the bellboy returned to the
waiting group, saying "Not in"
Each reporter reached out for his
own card. Under AIDES name had
been written 'f"The Cattleman's
Guide" under Vanderllp's "Repre-
senting the Poultry Journal" and
under DUNES, editor the Prairie
Fire" The remaining card read,

PEACE LEAGUE AMONG INDIANS
DeIawares Long Acted as Arbiters Un-
til Deposed by the Miitaristic
Iroquois Five Nations.

The American Indians did not
know any way to make peace effec-
tive except by appeal to their wom-
en-. To ask for peace was thought
to be so unworthy of male that I'M
less women interviewed there was
nothing for it but to fight on to ex-
tinction. The Five Nations estab-
llshed their peace woman in a fort
near Niagara river in a long house
divided III the middle by a curtain.
She would receive the contending
parties each unknown to the other,
and after she heard their cases, would
draw back the curtain and give her
decision.
The idea of woman as the proper
arbiter prevailed in the famous in
ternational agreement between the
lroquois and the Lenni-Lenape. At
this time the courteous and peace
loving DelaWares were induced to be-
come arbiters by being made women.
This role of international peace
maker was carried out by the Della
wares for long with dignity and sue
cess. But finally the pacific Della
wares did something which was I'M
pleasing to the militaristic Five Ma
tions of the Iroquois. Whereupon
the Five Nations sent them word
that the Delawares had lost their
right to Independent action. And
so ended the first international peace
league.-Mary Austin, in World
Outlook.

RECOVER DEAD UNDER FIRE.
French Show Dauntless Spirit Before
Verdun.


Verdun.
In front of Cumieres. on the west
hank of the Mouse, In the Verdun sec
tor. the French and German trenches
were 200 yards apart. There was Il
local fight, and the French charged
the German trenches. They were drlv
on off and had to leave two of theil
men hanging on the German barbeG
wire. The Germans would not take
the wounded men into their lines and
TO their hospitals nor would they let
the French recover their wounded. Ev-
ery time French detail tried to res
cue the men hanging on the barbed
wire they were driven off by the Ger
man fire. Five French soldiers were
killed trying. to rescue their comrades.
The French in their trenches had to
see their wounded comrades die, hang
ing on the German barbed wire.
The French began a systematic APP
proach to the German lines. For two
months they fought their way forward
foot by foot. The prize they fought
for was the two bodies hanging on the
wire. They worked their way to with
In 80 feet of the German lines and
then one dark night rushed the trench
and recovered their dead.
This is the spirit that wins the war,
1t is worth while buying Liberty Loan
Bonds when we are fighting beside SOL
diers with that spirit.

Suffrage Leader Declares They

That women throughout the state

ee by Mrs. Willis G. Mitchell, chair
nan of the Committee on Rural Prob
ems of the New York State Woman
suffrage Party.
D. The equal responsibilities which
ave followed as the natural result of
quail opportunities have brought wo-
men into line with the country's finan-

sure that the influence of the Ameri-

are very loyal They understand
fully the significance of the war as
well as the necessity for the generous
help of every citizen in the financial
problem, which is tremendous one.
Late developments in Russia and on
the eastern front have brought home
the impending crisis of the war. The
casualty lists have helped to bring it
even nearer The women are keenly
alive to the entire situation"
It Is this realization, according to
Mrs. Mitchell, which has set the wo-
men up state, each one giving of her
best about the business of answering
the various calls of war. Neither time,
food nor money is being wasted. Ev-
erything is being conserved to Its last
and least possibility. This MEANS"
she explained, that even a greater
response than last time will be wo-
mans answer to the Liberty Loan.
"They were anxious enough last
time to do their SHARE" she continued,
but now they are more than anx-
lous. They are alarmed by the trend
events have taken. They know what
is needed In the way of food, NUM-
lions, clothes, ships, airplanes, am
balances, hospitals and other equip
ment necessary for the victory over
Teutonic tyranny. They are willing
to give to the ultimate in order that
this may be achieved. There is no
doubt but what woman's subscriptions

WALKS ElGHT-INCH BRIDGE
Alaskan Tie-cutter Totes His Product
Across Narrow Footing, Disre-

Carrying railroad ties on ones

across canyon 80 feet wide, with
$50 feet Of vacant space between the
log and rock-torn mountain tor
rent at the dark bottom, sounds like

OF Ed Martin, tie-chopper, who
lives at Grow Creek pass on the gov
ernment's new railroad in Alaska,
writes a correspondent to the Pitts
burgh Dispatch.
Martin has a permit from the for
est service to use timber on the north
side OF DEVILS gulch to make ties for
the railroad, but the railroad re-
quires that the ties be delivered on
the right of way, and to do this the
gulch must be crossed. For this pur-
pose Martin felled a small spruce
tree from brim to brim, and, when
he finishes tie, shoulders it and
packs it over.
A party of hunters appeared upon
the scene a few days since, and, not
daring to attempt the frail cross
ing themselves, asked Martin why in
the name of all-possessed he did not
fell safe footing across the chasm.
The tie-cutter replied that for his
purpose an eight-inch log was as
good as an eight-foot log, and it had
not occurred to him that it was dan
gerous.

Columbia's eyes look to the stars
And see dream of greater days
She does not seek the red god Mars
Nor does she tremble at his gaze!
She knows that bright days wait beyond
And that until Gods freemen reign
Her sons and daughters will respond
With all they have or hope to gain
Columbia knows that when she calls

That now protect the sneering Hun.

Thy children swarm to fight for thee
And freely give while life remains
All that we are or hope to be!

Finland, to try and induce Russians
forces there to resist northern ad-

Good feeling between the Allies and
the Russians is reported to be increas-

latter respect 1t is said that the SEN

has undergone a radical change in
the last five or six weeks.
The general feeling six weeks ago
was distinctly anti-ally and many
places openly were pro-German. To-

anti-German and the attitude toward
the Allies is declared to vary from
suspicion of the Japanese to a friend
ly attitude toward the French and
