Europe. attacked only those who were

food, was exploded when the disease
threatened to take hold among officers

the American sailors are probably tho
best fed persons in Europe but tho

Victims suffer differently when tho
disease first begins. Some suddenly

GRAMD, ARMY MEN TO
ASSEMBLE AT PORTLAND

Portland. Ore.-Arrangements rapid
ly are being completed for the entertain
ment of the veterans of the Civil war
who will attend the national encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public for 1918 which will be held here
August 10 to %.
This will be the first time hat n
national encampment has been held
III the northwest. Approximately 55,-
men who answered President Lin
coln's call to arms are expected to be
present. They will come from every
section of tho country.
The attendance at a G.. A. r. never
has been below $4,000 in the past but
the rapidly dwindling membership roll
each year makes IL unlikely that there
will be a greater attendance h 40
O0G. Aside from this many old soldiers
probably will find they are unable to
attempt the long transcontinentaI trip
from the Atlantic s~eaboard. At one
tine these annual encampments were
attended by approximately a quarter
of a million OF the veteran fighters.

organized at Decatur, H., in 1866. It's

Men with specially troublesome feet,

PRI6ON FOR PEAT. rIXER.

From the Continental Edition OF the Lon
don Mall.
The fake pearl case, which attract
ed a great amount Of attention In Paris
about n year before the war. had its
denouement the other day when a
Hindu named Warna was tried for
fraud. Flo is alleged to have discovered
a chemical composition whereby ordi-
nary white pearls can be given the
pinkish tinge peculiar to eastern pearls,
which are much more valuable.
A pearl, for which n dealer named
Altschueler (now dead) gave sl2.50
was handed owe to Warna for treat
ment, and was subsequently offered
for sale, the price asked being $50 900.
1t was submitted to experts, who, il
was stated, discovered hat its color
was not natural. Warna's alleged ex
PLANTATION was that he had put a COT
ing of Collodion over the pe1ri 70 pro
serve its surface while he vfS reno =
ing spots from it and addius iuster to
1t, n that he had not finished his
work.
The prosecution WIS instituted On
the ground hat the process did not
really alter the pear, but merely gave
Ii a temporary color which disappeared
OF itself in course OF time, and could
be removed by sleeping the pearl in
proof spirit, and that In reality it re-
manned an ordinary white pearl and
ought not to be sold as one OF the pink
, variety.

Imprisonment md n fine OF $1,000, and

with Altschucler, IA sent to prison
for three months and ordered to pay a

People of Japan Cautious With
Investments While Russian
Situation Threatens.

Toxic, (by ail)-Apparent tendency
by Japenese business men to oppose
intervention in Siberia has been re-
Elected in business generally here. The
stock market has been oppressed with
the idea Of Siberian mobilization. Trad
ing has fallen off and many shares
have weakened. At times when 1t APP
peared that Japan had at least tenn
porarily tabled the Intervention cues
ton the market has rallied, becoming
active with short covering, but the
General investment public has remained
strictly cautious, showing disposition
to sell at advancing prices.
Late in June the Foreign trade fell
off. The United States extension Of
it's lists of restricted imports virtually
stopped Japan's growing shipment Of
skins and feathers. The American
trade ban was enlarged so as to stop
also Manila's export Of hemp to Japan.
If this is rightly enforced Japan's braid
Industry will be reduced to an insight

come to naught.

The China trade has remained slack.
Then Japanese Cotton Spinners' associ-
alton, for instance. reported that during
10 days Japan shipped 1900 bales less
of yarns to China and other Oriental
points. Trade with British India also
has been slack.
The tonnage question and Americas
new railway rates also have caused
anxiety In the business world. Oil men.
grain people, and others say that the
high freight costs and the difficulty in
obtaining cargo space have interferred
seriously with their business. these fac
tors combining adversely with kindred
restrictions adopted by
England. America and other count les.
In these circumstances Frances pur-
chase Of muslin and M%anchurian flour.

Notwithstanding governmental eff

ing. conditions have hardly improved.
Not only the fertilizer trade but the

lators' manipulation. which lately has

HOW THE GROUSE DRUMS.

We Ia scarcely finished breakfast

bushes and there, not 30 feet behind
my tent stood the old fellow on a
beautiful mossgrown log, his neck
stretched. his ruff spread, his tail flat
tened against the log and his wings
beating their rhythmical tattoo.
The day was raw and chilly, and our
friend apparently was not feeling very
brisk and vigorous. He spent most of
his time in the chrysanthemum state,
with just his bea and a few crest
feathers protruding from the fluffy
ball. After a while a headlike eye
would appear and sleepily regard the
camera. Then suddenly the bird turned
his head and looked alarmed, while my
heart sank within me. fearing that he
would take flight. He stretched his
neck and began to bristle his feathers;
then i felt certain he was about to
walk off and leave me to my chagrin.
But no. this was all a part of the cere-
mony, as / learned later-a sort of
