Predictions Near FulfIlment.

that there would he no kings in Ger.

years before the Huns broke loose,
Lord Roberts predicted that II great
European war came in our days, Fer
dinand Foch, who was then an I'M

A rather neat prediction was made
as far back as 1896 by the redoubtable
Frenchman, Henri Rochfort, marques
and anarchist.
"We cannot get Alsace-Lorraine
back by ourselves" he told an inter

the bulldog will form an alliance with
us to kill the eagle, and we shall re-

Luderus From Milwaukee.
Luderus was born In Milwaukee on

the Phlllles ever since he Joined them
In 1910, prior to which year he was
with the Chicago Nationals for min.

OLD LONDON BELL FOUNDRIES
Relics Of Many OF Them Are still to
Be Found Scattered Through
the British Capital.

In the days before clocks, to say
nothing Of watches, were common the
bells of London occupied much more
important position than they do to-
day. 'Prentices depended on this bell
and that TO call them very unwlllingly
10 work of a morning and release them
very willingly from work Of an eve
ming, whilst bells were requisitloned
for all manner Of special purposes.
And so there We're many bell foundries
In the city. Relics OF them are found
In many places, even II II Is only a
street name. such as Bitter street,
which, as Mr.. Landfcar Lucas points
out, was undoubtedly Bell.sitzers or
Founders lane. Then Belsize probably
owes its name. he declares, to a bell
foundry on the lower part OF Hamp-
stead hill. Something Of this sort Is
all that remains Of many Of them, but
others, like the Whitechapel Bell
foundry. which has been charged with
returning and rehanging the bells OF
Westminster abbey for the peace re-
joicings, have continued to do business
through the centuries. The foundry
commenced business In 1870.

Walter Johnson to star on the rub
Der. These cases, according to Nc
Graw. are good grounds for his ar

Bezdek declared a ball club must
have something more than good pitch
ing from one pitcher, and he backs
his argument with the story Of Will
bur Cooper's work for the Pirates last
season. Cooper lost nearly all Of his
games by one run simply because the
Pirates did not have the necessary
punch to aid him with run or two,
says Bezdek, and the speech sounds
reasonable, too.
The argument was not ended In the
one session. but there Is much evil

Of serious consideration. McGraw's

FLYER KILLED
 WHEN HE FALLS
 FROM AIRPLANE'

AMERICUS, Georgia. July 17-(P)
 While giving an exhibition flight here this afternoon, Sergeant Gates of the aviation corps, fell two thou sand feet to his death. The accident occurred shortly after Gates had started his flight.
 He was attempting to loop-the-loop and as the machine was upside down he was seen to fall from the seat. Physicians who rushed immediately to the spot stated Gates was killed instantly by the fall or else died before he ever hit the ground. The machine, in which he was flying, plunged to the earth a mile from where the aviator fell.
 Before ascending the aviator strap ped himself in to guard against such a fall when he turned the plane over. It is believed that the straps either broke or became unfastened in some way, letting him drop when the ma chimes position was reversed from normal.

WESTERN TOWNS THREATENEDBY
 FOREST FIRES

MISSOULA, Mont, July 17.-CH)- It is reported that AlbertOn and St. Regis, two towns situated in the extreme western portion of this state, are threatened with complete destruc- ton by forest fires now raging In their vicinity.
 The reports say the flames have gotten beyond all control and it is not believed the towns can be say ed by any amount of work. Assis- tance from nearby towns has been hur' ried to the two places but about the only help which can be given is to aid the people in fleeing from the threatened district.
 For several days past the fires have been burning but not until today, the reports say, was hope given up of stopping them. Hundreds of men have fought, increasingly, to halt the advance of the flames but their wor'' produced no satisfactory results.

A number of soldiers stationed on the aviation field were injured by the falling sheds. some of them receiving bad burns in the fire.
