THEIR sENsELEss DREAMS.

They Were Not Forgotten, NJ the Little
Gar Had Ordered.
An incident which occurred at the
very beginning Of Nicholas lis reign
Il very Characteristic of the attitude Of
the former emperor toward any share
Of the people In the government OF
Russia.
A deputation OF the foremost repre-
sentatives of the Russian nobility was
sent to bring congratulations to the
new emperor. Very bright hopes were
connected with the ascendance to the
throne OF the young monarch after a
period OF gloomy reaction during the
reign OF his father. Alexander ILL.,, and
In consequence it was decided to pre-
sent to him through delegation OF the
mobiles an extremely modest supplica-
ton in favor OF an embryo chamber OF
representatives, the only proposed right
of which was the fright" to be consulted
by >the emperor whenever 1t pleased
him.
The delegates, composed OF highly re-
spected and venerable elderly gentle
men, numbering several hundred, was
lined up In the big hall OF the Winter
palace In Petrograd and kept standing
In a military order and In complete ST.
lence for more than two hours.
At last a detachment Of dismounted
horse guards In topboots and with huge
swords hurriedly entered the hall with
q terrific noise and placed itself In
front of the awe stricken delegation.
Then the tiny emperor In wild excite
ment rushed in and. pacing up and
down the hall In the midst Of the giant
soldiers and shouting at the venerable
gentlemen, delivered a BRIEF but very
definite speech. the gist of which con-
sisted Of the following expression:
Forget your senseless dreamsy-A. N.

AsLITTLE PIECE OF LEAD.
The costIiest Thing This World Of
Ours Has Ever Known.


Ours Has Ever Known.
Just think Of one small piece Of lead,
probably weighing less than an ounce,
that cost the world some 500 OOO, OOO,-
600 in money, probably 500, 600, OOO, 600
In property, more than 100000 lives
and individual suffering and loss Inn
possible Of computations bit Of lead
that embroiled in war Germany, Aus
trial Hungary, Britain, France, Belgi-
um, the United States, Turkey, Siberia,
Italy, Montenegro, Roumania, Bulga-
ria, Albania. Egypt, Canada, Australia,
China, Japan, South Africa, India and
Russia and brought every other nation
to the brink Of internal trouble or out
ward disaster, the consequences Of
which are being felt by every human
being, civilized or u...ivilized, white,
black, yellow or brow
That small piece of lead was fired
from pistol in the hands OF crack
Drained youth of Servian nativity into
the body of the heir to the Austrian
throne. The troubles arising from this
mad act and its punishment set fire to
the powder trains in Europe and led
to hostile act after hostile act and final
~ and suddenly to open war In 1914.
That little piece of lead should be
preserved as a memorial to all future
generations and as the costliest thing
mankind; has ever known. It would
become the greatest silent teacher the
world has ever seen. 1t would teach
restraint for the weak minded and vio-
lent; 1t would teach the importance of
minor acts and things; it would teach
peace as no costly monument, no book
OF horrors, no painting of tragedy could
ever teach it.-Detroit Free Press.

Friends of the. two men are
watching the river. closely and
at the earliest possible moment
they intend to organize posses
and thoroly search the river

the hope that the bodies may not

In the passing of Mr.. Thamke
nearly everybody in the eastern
half Of the county loses a friend.
He was Of that type Of s.hale feI-
low well met" who makes friends
readily and keeps them. He was
known all up and down the val
ley and was liked wherever he
was known. Altho he owned Ole
of the best improved farms in
the valley between this city and
Finley he had given much of his
time for six years to road work,
having leen superintendent of
the lower half of the third dis
trict under Commissioner Gle
ments.
Altho of German descent he
was an one-hundred- percent
American citizen. He hated the
Kaiser and was one of the val
ley's most ready and willing con-
ltributors to every phase Of the
war work. The last time he was
seen by the writer he had a hand
full of war savings certificates,
which he said he was sending tn
the kids" for Christmas and ut
Il
the time of his death there
awaited him an unopened letter
from Lieut.. F. R. jeffrey, thank
ing him for the splendid manner
/ in which he had remembered him
and the other boys of Battery Il
at Christmas time.
Mr.. Thamke was born in Wis
consin 48 years ago, September
5. He came to the Northwest as
a boy nearly 80 years ago and
lived for IL years at Occur d.
Alene, Idaho. From there he
came to this valley II years ago.
He leaves a brother, Ed Thamke,
of this valley, a sister, Mrs.
Katherine O'Hara, of Yakima,
and four sisters in Wisconsin. He
was member of the local Mas
onic lodge and a member of the
Elks either at Occur d'Alene or
Spokane.
Little is known of Vanier's life
before he came here about nine
years ago, all of which time he
has been employed by the North
ern Pacific Irrigation company
as tender of the headgates. With
the exception of a short time
each winter when he took his va
cation, he seldom visited Kenne-
wick. He has, however, many
friends up and down the valley
especially among the hunters
and fishermen who always found
a warm welcome and something
to eat at his cabin. He was
about forty years of age and was
of French descent. 1t is thought
he has another and sister living
in Duluth and an effort has been
made to communicate with them.

All the blood in the body passes thru

II the pause In the offensive Is at
tributable TO weariness. the armies
OF the German crown prince also
must be worn out, for, despite rein
forcements. they have lacked the
hardness to throw back their antag-
onists.
The fourteenth day OF the great
allied offensive saw little activity on
the part OF either OF the contending
forces. except In the nature OF re-
ciprocal bombardments.
Tuesday night witnessed violent
attempts by the Germans to cxpel
the Americans and French from the
valuable positions they hold north
OF the ourcq In the region OF Fere-
En-Tardenois, and along the western
side OF the salient near oulchy-le-
Chateau, where Scottish troops are
holding with the French the wedge
that has been driven eastward into
the enemy line. These efforts we're
entirely fruitless.
The latest Berlin communication
asserts that more than 1000 pris.
oners have been taken by the Ger
mans In the past few days and that
since July ib In excess OF $4,000 al
lied troops have been captured.
Whether the Germans have chosen
the spot where ultimately they VIII
face about and give battle to the al.
lied forces Is not apparent. Great

uate and press on northward to o

Well, we have seen. And the an

Gated once more. as II always Is.

A MASTER CRIMINAL


So monstrous thing as this Ger
man war seems to require personal
devil for its inspiration and guild
ance. and to most Americans the
kaiser fills the bill.
Far be It from any editor to un-
derestimste the kaiser's culpability;
but maybe we have not really found
the arch-criminal. II we may trust
. psychological study Of General
Ludendorff. written for a Paris Jour-
nal by Albert de Pouvourville. the
kaiser must yield the primacy In
vickedness.
Ludendorff, long suspected by in.
telligent observers to be the"brains"
Of the Prussian military system, the
real power behind the kaiser and
Hindenburg. appears as very gen.
fus of evil, seeking to win less by
the sword than by falsehood and
treachery, and instinctively prefer
ring devious wickedness to fair fight
Fer him." says the writer, 1.-THE
affair of the Isonzo was not merely
a battle Of shock 1t comprised in
trigues. betrayals, forgeries. false or
ders of the day. and every other vile
thing which was necessary to bring
about the desired object.
Thanks to the Russia Of Lenine
Ludendorff, relieved Of half his
cares, is now working on the western
front. Here he has consecrated al
his diabolical genius. Let us mo-
imagine that his attack in only made
with many men and many guns. Il
will be, 1t is already, the full power
Of his versatile, inventive energy
working against human frailties. II
does not reveal itself merely over sc
many kilometers Of front--that
would be too simple.
"It Is in Spain, where are gather
ed the boches driven from Central
and South America; 1t is in pacifisi
journals and the Germanophile proc
livities Of what seems the contrary;
It is in the little terrorized nations Of
the north, and 1t is also in France,
here in obscure laboratories Of scan-
daI, where NJ. Clemenceau has not
had time to clean or to illuminate.
"Of all these complicated and
numberless Vaccinations, Luden-
dorff is. with his supreme power for
evil, the unique and secret inventor
and director"
~ After reviewing the results Of Lu-
dendorff's subtitle schemes in East
Prussia, Galicia, Serbia, Rumania
and elsewhere, the writer concluded,
eve are now going to see what he
is worth in France" The words we're
written just before the beginning OF
this last German offensive.
