Western Union Company
VIII Be Prosecuted

New York, July Exchanging viola
tion of th federal law which prohibits
private firms or persons entering into
competition with the United States
postal service, the federal grand jury
here today indicted the Western I'm
ion Telegraph company. The indict-
nents grew out Of investigations which
have been carried on since 1917.
According to evidence submitted, the
company has transmitted about 100000
messages by messenger between New
York ard nearby cities since the inves
tigation was begun. This would consti
tute about one tenth the total business
in night letters in this city. As the
fine foc each violation Of the law is
$50 the maximum penalty, is conviction
obtained, would amount to about $l7-
100000. The company only was named
in the indictments, all officials being
excepted.

CITY OF QUEER CONTRASTS
Meme, Desolate In Winter, Is Fever
ishly Lively During the Short
Months of Summer.

Ships approaching the coast Of Alas
ka watch eagerly for the first glimpse
II break in the low horizon line. and
as the faint silhouette of a city is
caught by the spy glass word goes
round that Nome is in sight. The
squaEe outlines grow steadily palmer
end broader. Unmindful of the heavy
waves that crash so dangerously near
It's doors the city is reaching out to
the very waters edge to greet the In
coming ship. A bobbing launch comes
ont TO meet the ship and bring in the
passengers TO the shore.
The gold seekers built Nome in the
rush of 1898. and the gold seekers still
add their quota to its population. They
Aave made it city Of cOntrasts-Of
cstentatiOuj wealth and hopeless de-
gtres.( Where they camped on the
beach and built wooden huts and sa-
looms the city has grown up. When
more space was needed, it spread Its
houses along the beach in long un-
even rows.
From November to June 1t is frozen
into a dull apathy from which it
rouses to attend theaters, dances, and
other social frivolities which make
the winter tolerable. Ice bound and
dark the winter may be, with only
three or four hours of pale sunlight a
day, but the popular idea of the wilds
of Nome is an interesting myth. Elec-
trlc lights, telephones, department
stores, banks, hotels-NOme has all of
these perquisltes of modern civlliza-
tlon.
When the sun begins to shine stead
fly and the fresh surf pounds on the
beach, Nome awake3 and the summer
residents who have gone "outside" re-
turn. The population is practically
doubled. Nome spends its summer
months in wildly rushing about to
make up for the enforced dullness of
the frozen winter.

Man In the Making.

We are all sculptors Of life. From
the anthropold ape stage clear up
through the ages, In the slow process
of evolution, man has been at work
chlsellng himself. Always on the whole
bettering himself a little, eliminating
the animal, the brute qualities more
and more, In spite Of setbacks, he has
persistently struggled toward the real
ization OF his ldeals-the higher man,
the ideal man.
Our sculpturlng Is mental; our
thought is the chisel that traces the
ideal in life's marble. Angel and de-
mon, beauty and ugliness, success and
failure lie side by side in the mar
bic Of llfe.-Dr. Orlson SWEET Marden,

DECLARES McADOO
WAS NOT IN ACCORD
With Presidents Idea of Fed
eraI Ownership.

Providence. II. T., Nov. 30. The
Providence journal says:
1.-The basic reason for the withdraw
al OF William McAdoo from the cabi-
net is not, as stated fer public con
sumption, the fact that the secretary
of the treasury found II impossible to
live in Washington on his official
salary, but that he found himself in
total disagreement with what he con.
siders the Presidents set purpose t.
impose government ownership or gov
ernment control OF all public utilities
on this country. He was determined
TO remain no longer member OF a
cabinet which was fast drifting into
that policy.
ut is true that Mr. McAdoo could
mot live in Washington on his salary
as secretary of the treasury, but 1t Il
equally true that he has never been
able to do this since he first went &c
Washington. II has never been pcs
sible for him TO even maintain his
home there. outside of other expen
ses, on $4,000 per year"

AUSTRIA FOR PEACE FARLEY
Baron Burian Urges "CaIm Exchange
of Views" With the Entente
Allies.

Amsterdam, Sept. 11.-An exchange
of views between the central powers
and the entente was tentatively sug-
gested by Baron Burian, the AustrO-
Hungarian foreign minister, in an ad-
dress to visiting German newspaper
men. according to Vienna dispatch.
Such a discussion, said the foreign
minister, need not take the form Of
peace negotiations, but would have as
it's purpose the consideration Of all
things which are keeping the belliger-
ent powers apart.
Baron Burian advanced his sugges-
ton in declaring that the adversaries
of the central powers need only pro-
vide the opportunity ''in a calm ex-
change of views-some sort of direct,
informative discussion is thinkable
which would be far from being peace
negotiations-of discussing and weigh
ing everything which today separates
the belligerent parties, and no further
fighting will perhaps be needed to
bring them closer together"

in an advanced observation post Gen
eral Pershing, commander in chief of
the American army, and Newton d.
Baker, the American secretary of war,

tween the Mouse and Moselle rivers.
General Pershing and Secretary Ba-
ker took up their station in the muddy
rain-lashed post of observation before
the infantry went over the top in the
cold, wet dawn.
The Americans, supported by a
great fleet Of tanks, went forward
with an irresistible rush, and three
lines of German intrenchments were
captured in a single bound.
It was precisely one o'clock Of a
rainy, moonless night when single
dash of flame shot across the sky. 1t
was followed by other flashes, which
merged into a sheet of white light on
the horizon.
