GERMAN COUNT SAYS GERMANY HELPLESS
 IN ALLIES HANDS

LONDON, June 19.-Count Julius kesseler, often mentioned as Brock dorff Rantzau's succt ssor at the peace conference, ir an interview with a Herald correspondent said:
 We must not sign the treaty be- cause, like the Entente, we pledged ourselves to make peace on the basis of Wilson's fourteen points. The Versailles treaty is brutal nega- tion of those fourteen principles or a cruel perversion, which, with our signature affixed, would remain lasting attestation of self defama- tion and dishonesty such as the world has never before known. But as we are helpless in the enemy's power we must say to him, though we cannot sign, we promise simply to live up to the treaty as much as we are able to until you yourselves are convinced that fulfillment is be- yond human power. This Versailles treaty cannot last"

A BIT ABOUT
 MARGUERITE CLARK.

Marguerite Clark, the daintiest, most charming and lovable of all the screen stars, is to appear at the Coliseum Theatre for the last night in her newest Paramount photoplay, "Prunella," adapted from the stage version by Granville Barker and Lawrence Housman, in which she appeared on the stage few years ago.
 Miss Clark's father was promin- ent merchmant of Cincinnati, Ohio but it is a safe wager that her re- compense for acting before the all seeing eye of the camera is greater than her respected daddy ever re- ceived for his business. She is the only member of the family bitten by the bug "stageitis." She was nabbed early in life by this virulent insect and the symptoms became evident in her childhOod-not so very many years ago-when amateur theatric' als gave her start.

OLD CUSTOMS IN UKRAINE
Wedding Celebrations Of Country Pe'
cuiar; Horse Thieves Summarlly
Dealt With.

The Little Russian costume became
fashionable for women in the Ukraine
after the formation Of the republic !;
red boots, short skirt, allowing the EN-
brodery of the chemise to be seen;
pretty apron; jacket without sleeves,
Around the neck large beads or many
colored glass, always in great num-
bers. The married women wear on
their heads a kind of fichu arranged
as diadem, the unmarried girls
simple Ukrainian kerchief, the be-
trothed, flowers.
They have an amusing custom: af-
ter the marriage celebration the Whole
procession goes to drive, adorned with
broad red ribbons even the horses are
abundantly provided with them. That
is a sign of the brides virtue. If the
contrary is the case, she has neither
ribbons nor music, not even white
veil, because the pope refuses to bless
the marriage.
The Little Russians are very super
stitious. At midsummer they light
large fire of ferns. The young people
Jump over the fire. Those who succeed
in not touching it will marry within
the year If anybody puts it out, 1t Is
a sign of death. Everybody tells for
tunes with cards, predicts what viii
happen in the future. On the eve or
Saint Andrew somebody places mys-
teriously under the bed pond and a
bridge Ca saucer filled with water and
few pieces of woody. Without know
ing it one sleeps ION the bridge" Then
one may be sure that the dream of the
night will come true. If one wanted to
act according to the rules one ought to
spend the night on a bridge above
real pond and look at the water; there
you would be able to read your whole
future life.
In the country some of the old bar
barian customs are still in force; the
k0nokrades or horse thieves, are con-
demned to be quartered, or to be at
tached by rope to horses tail ana
dragged until death follows.

WOMAN BOSSES mine
Heads Corporation Controlled En-
tireIy by Her Sex.
Operates Garnet Mine in Alaska and
Lead, Zinc and Silver Mines
in Arizona.

New York---From the far West
there now comes to us the lady miner,
Miss Anna Durkee, organizer and con.
trolling element of $1,000,O00 cor.
poration run entirely by women. Miss
Durkee operates a garnet mine in
southern Alaska and lead, zinc and sill
yer mines in Arizona. She is the lar
gest individual mine owner in the Oat-
man district of Arizona, and the most
widely known woman in the mining
world.
1t was while she was In Alaska seven
years ago, investigating proposition
in copper, that Miss Durkee first be-
came interested in garnet mine, was
given an option on it and finally took
1t over in the name of a corporation
which had board of 10 women direc-
tors.
AT the beginning the mine did not
seem to amount to a great deal, but
as Miss Durkee began to develop the
first claim with which the corporation
started, veins were discovered opening

continued the amazing fact dawned
that the entire mountain was a gigan-
tic mine of the beautiful crystals, with
ledges of garnets extending from the
sea level to a distance of 5000 feet
up the mountain side.
But the greatest value of the deposit
consists in by-prOduct of garnet
waste, discovered by Miss Durkee.
who passed two years in a chemical
laboratory working it out. She had
observed that garnets when milled did
not fuse with iron or brass, and follow
ing this up she discovered a new use
for the waste garnet. of which there
were hundreds of thousands of tons.
Ground TO a certain mesh and put
through a secret process the waste gar
net makes a separating powder valu-
able in foundry work." she stated.
The garnets of Miss Durkee's mine
are of the finest variety, almandines.
Because of their beauty and hardness,
biologists have given them the name
of precious garnetS."

t1oodoo Ship Redeems Herself.

The American transport Sierra,
which steamed into harbOr recently
carrying more than 1900 wounded
soldiers, is a ship that "came back"
according to stories told by old-timers
who follow the sea. A dozen years
ago she rammed a coral reef in the
south seas and was, apparently,
wrecked beyond hope of salvage. If
the stories told about her are correct,
she has crashed into vessels anchored
in harbor, but she has sailed serenely
through the mined waters of the Eng
lish channel and evaded the German
submarines on the high seas as she
carried the troops to France. SO she
has evened the score and lifted the
spell.
Incidentally, despite her misfor-
tunes, she is a comfortable ship and
a good sea boat. Once she was re-
garded as unlucky and it was almost
impossible for her owners to get a
crew. When the war broke out the
Sierra broke her spell of misfortune
and performed her share in driving
autocracy and militarlsm into exile.
Any sailor will tell you that ships
have personality. The Sierra just
cascades personality and tempera-
ment. Having shown the world what
she could do in the line of tantrums,
she reformed She has made money
for her owners, despite her accidents,
ana has an excellent record in the
service of her country
