1.-THE CODE OF HATE"
Fourteenth EDisode)

The fourteenth episode of Evolves
of Kultur" is a rafting land and water
series of p%erilous situations terminal
ing in a high jump that would have
made the famous leaping Steve Brodie
hustle for his honors. The episode
opens as Alice is about to pull the lev
er which will connect the switch above
and cause the Internal machine at the
cave entrance to explode.
The guard comes up; points rifle at
her; advances.
At this moment, a large rock falls
from the top of the cave and kills the
Hun. Alice escapes just as the other
Huns come up to investigate.
In the meantime Barclay escapes
from the cave and goes for aid.
Bob, aboard the yacht, has perceiv-
ed signals from a land flag staff. He
swims to land and comes to the senti-
mel guarding this signal station. He
overpowers the spy and goes to the
flag staff.
In the meantime, Alice has looked
about the cave and learned much of
the plans to discharge the torpedo.
Carter and Walker leave the yacht
and come ashore, because of the cessa-
ton of the signals.
They are at the bottom of the flag
staff and have discovered Bob at the
top. Carter aims a rifle and shoots at
Bob, who makes a thrilling jump to
escape being killed.

Gold PIacers Throughout
Eastern Siberia Are Rich;
Can Be Worked With Ease

From time immemorial Siberia has
been known to Russians as the Gold
en- Bottom" and this not without a
reason.
The great gold placers scattered
throughout eastern Siberia tempted
and attracted enterprising individuals
for many centuries, through their rich
ness and the ease with which they
could be worked.
Only the severity of the climate
and lack of adequate transportation
together with Indifference on the part
of the government prevented the 81
berian gold fields from becoming the
greatest in the world.
Alluvial gold was first found in the
Province of Eniseisk in 1880. After
wards gold was discovered in great
amounts throughout the whole prov
fnce. The gold is found in many
cases in the sand of rivers and small
streams.
The geological formation of these
deposits varies, but in many cases
shows Proclamation of slate rocks.
The thickness of gold-bearing strata
varies in places from ii feet to 81
feet, and their extent from five-tenths
to 80 miles.
The proportion of gold is also diff
ferent, according to the depth of the
deposit. A thin layer of alluyium,
called turf" usually covers the gold
strata.

BUYING LIVES,

Your Liberty Loan Subscriptions
viii Help Pay For Saving
100000 Yanks.

The coming Liberty Victory Loan
will pay the cost of saving the lives
of more than 100000 Yanks and thou
sands of our allies, according to Lewis
B. Franklin, Director of the Z. S. War
Loan Organization.
''The speed and bravery of the Amer
lean .doughboy' affected the Germans
on the front line more than it did the
men at German general ~headquart-
ers,' states Mr.. Franklin, but the
fact that America had ten tons of
mustard gas ready for shipment in
1919, to every ton that Germany had.
the fact that we were going to have a
tank on the front line for every 70
feet OF the line in 1919, the fact that we
would have thousands of batteries of
guns where we did not have a single
one in 191S-those facts had an infu-
ence Oh the German general staff.
And those millions and billions of
dollars were far from being wasted
in an unnecessary preparation. 1 feel
hal the fact that money was spent
and that that enormous output of mu-
nitions was ready, was the controlling
factor in the weakening of the Ger
general staff, and hat it caused
their message to the Kaiser that they
We're beaten, and that he must sue for
peace. And the way 1 see il is that
this money, instead Of being wasted,
a be written down as having saved
the lives of hundreds of thousands Of
American men who would have been
sacrificed had the war continued an
other year.
That is the money we are going
TO ask the American people for in the
Fifth Liberty Loan. We are going 10
ask them for the money that brought
our boys home safe and sound, instead
of leaving them buried in France. And
when the people of America realize
what this money did, we are not going
to find that they are lacking in patriot
ism TO come across"

Fifteenth Episode.)


evolves of Kultur" has a final round
up of thrilling sensations that make
the beholder fairly grasp his seat. Bob,
who was seer leaping from a high flag
staff, when Walker shot at him, lands
in a tree and manages to elude the
Huns and follows Walker back to the
yacht, Carter is left as guard at the
signal station.
Alice, in her w~anderings. has finally
located the death dealing torpedo and
the operator awaiting instruction.
Bob is again aboard the yacht and
overhears further plans. that a trans
port enroute for New York, loaded
with soldiers is to be sunk. He de-
termines that he will avert it.
Carter, instructed to launch the
torpedo, is signalling in to the opera
tor in the cave.
The torpedo has already been
launched, and is on its death-dealing
mission, when Alice, in a most super
human effort, throws a rock at the
operator and knocks him unconscious.
She seizes the wireless apparatus
and turns the course of the torpedo
against the yacht, aboard which are
both Walker and, unknown to her,
Bob.
The yacht is destroyed, Walker be
ing killed. The only making his
escape is Bob, who swims ashore.
Alice finds another exit from the
cave and creeping upon the sentry
guard secures his rifle. She comes
upon Bob at the waters edge. He has
already been tracked by Carter. Carter
is about to stab Bob from behind,
when Alice shoots him dead.
Barclay. the detective. in the mean
time, has rome to the Secret Service
Department and secured aid. He re-
turns and captures the gang of con
spirators.
Bob and Alice find Walkers dead
body washed ashore and recover code
book from him.
Bob, a few days later. brings a let
ter to Alice from the President of the
United States, thanking her for her
heroic work in running down the spies
and in saving the transport from de-
struction. 1t is while they are thus

OF THE

Fair Eastern Star, thou art ordained to
Before the sages, to the rising sun,
Here cease thy course, and wonder that
the cloud
Of this poor stable can thy Maker
shroud;
Ye heavenly bodies glory to be bright,
And are esteemed as We are rich in light.
But here on earth is taught a different
way,
Since under this low roof the Highest lay.
Jerusalem erects her stately towers,
Displays her windows and adorns her
bowers;
Yet the-e thou must not cast a trembling
spark,
Let Herod's palace still continue dark;
Each school and synagogue thy force re-
pels,
There Pride enthroned in misty error
dwells;
The temple. where the priests maintain
their choir,
Shall taste no beam of thy celestial fire.
While this weak cottage all thy splendor
takes;
A joyful gate of every chink it makes.
Here shines no golden roof, no ivory stair,
No king exalted in a stately chair.
Girt with attendants, or by heralds styled,
But straw and hay enwrap a speechless
Child.
Yet Sabae's lords before this Babe unfold
Their treasures, offering incense, myrrh
and gold.
The crib becomes an altar; therefore dies
No OK nor sheep; for in their fodder lies
The Prince of Peace, who, thankful for
his bed,
Destroys those rites in which their blood
was shed;
The quintessence of earth he takes, and
fees.
And precious gums distilled from weeping
Rich metals and sweet odors now declare
The glorious blessings which his laws
prepare,
To clear US from the base and loathsome
flood,
OF sense. and make US fit for angels food,
Who lift to God for us the holy smoke,
OF fervent prayers with which we him in
woke,
And try our actions in the searching fire,
By which the s~eraphims our lips inspire;
No muddy dross pure minerals shall in
feet,
We shall exhale our vapors up direct; 81
No storms shall cross, or glittering lights
deface
Perpetual signs which seek a happy place.
