TURKEY WANTS PEACE TREATY

News comes from Constaninople
that Turkey wants to make a peace
treaty with the United States and al
so wants to get a loan. AS Uncle Sam
has been loaning so much money to
European countries Turkey presumes
that this country has money to burn.
Also she may think that about
Thanksgiving time is good time to
apply for Turkey loan. The cable
says that Turkey has drafted treaties
with the following six countries:
France, Persia, Afghanistan, Russia,
Caucasian republic and Italy. AS
none of those countries are in the
loan business. Therefore the Turkish
minister Of foreign affairs was in
structed to fine out whether the Ame-
rican government would object 20 a
Turkish mission coming to the United
States to negotiate for loan by off
ering important mineral rights as Sc
curity to American firms willing to
advance money.
The term the unSpeakable "Turk
is sometimes used as describing the
brutality and wickedness of the Turks
but when that country wants money
it can speak loud and long.

WIRE HOLDS MILLION VOLTS
Electrical Pressure Secured for First
Time Carries Current
1000 Miles.

Pittsfield, Mass.-At the Pittsfeld
plant OF the General Electric company,
for the first time in history, the tre-
mendously high voltage Of 100000
volts was obtained, generated and
transmitted by engineers Of the COM
pnny, working under the direction of
the chief engineers Of the plant. The
pressure will carry electricity 1000
miles.
Officials said that much valuable
data were gathered indicating the
commercial possibilities OF such a high
voltage. An official statement said:
"The pressure of 100000 volts and
over was generated by transformer
equipment designed along standard
lines, with current at ordinary
household frequency of sixty cycles
per second. The physical laws ap-
plying to the behavior Of high voltages
were found to hold good at this
enormous pressure"

THE PEACE CONFERENCE

Here is a brief summary of the
proposed work of the Peace Confer
ence at Washington:
First. A demonstration that war
between the United States and Great
Britain is impossible because of any
situation that is concerned in this
Conference, or in any situation even
remotely apparent, and, especially,
that peaceful relations between the
United States and Great Britain can
not be broken in any way through
operations of any present or future
AngloJapanese alliance.
Second. An acceptable plan
whereby Japan's face may be saved,
her need for expansion because of
her growing population recognized,
her national dignity conserved and
her exact and proper status in the Pa
cifc defined.
"Third. Some enforceable and def
mite plan that will guarantee to
Great Britain the free and untram-
meled access to the seas so necessary
to her national existence in case of
war.
Fourth. An agreemnt that will
be respected over the open door in
China.
Fifth. A satisfactory and guaran-
teed relief for the apprehensions of
France that she may be left alone in
case of future attack on her by
Germany"
The attitude of the United States
toward Far Eastern problems is
broadly defined in her policy of "The
Open Door" foe.

OLD JIM BAKERS DUEL WITH a
FRENCHMAN

Next to Uncle Bill Hamilton's duel
with the Englishman, the strangest
one in frontier history was that which
Old Jim Baker, friend Of Kit Carson.
Jim Bridger and Uncle Dick Wootton,
fought with Frenchman In the early
days Of Wyoming. Baker had estab.
lislfed trading store where the Ore
gon trail crossed the Green river. He
was doing good business with the
emigrants passing over the trail until
Frenchman opened up a rival store
nearby. A quarrel between the two
men soon resulted.
Both men ran to their cabins, seized
pistols and from the doors Of their
cabins, which were only about 100
yards apart, they began firing at each
other. Neither was hurt at the first
shot. for both the Frenchman and Old
Jim had been drinking heavily and
their aim was unsteady.
Then the duelists retired to their
rooms. loaded their guns again and,
taking another drink to keep up their
courage, they opened fire once more.
The bullets few wild. For several
hours the duel continued, each man
becoming more unsteady all the time.
At last, finding themselves unable to
hit each other, they gave 1t up In
disgust, and the oldest duel In his
tory ended.
Baker was born In Illinois In 1903,
and went west with fur-tradins
party about 1923.
Old Jim was a mighty hunter. At
one time he was attacked by two :ull-
grown grizzly bears. The old scout
was armed only with his long hunting
knife but after terrific struggle, In
which he was almost torn to pieces,
he killed both bears.
In 1857 Baker was guide and
scout for Gen. Albert Sidney Johns
ton on his expedition AGAINST the Nor
mons in Utah. Returning from that
trip. he wandered back to Colorado
and became one Of the first settlers
of Denver. Later in life Old Jim drift
ed to northern Colorado. On the
hanks Of the Little Snake river he
huilt q block house, which became q
rendezvous for all Of his old trapping
companions and place Of refuge
when the Indians went on the war
path.
! Baker died In 1893 after a life that
had been filled with more adventure
thai. IT,. Of any other man Of his
time. excepting possibly Old Jim
Bridger, whose close friend he was.

"VAMPS" WHO

A QUEEN OF TRAGEDY, ON AND
OFF THE STAGE.

TT CANNOT be doubted that Adrienne
Lecouvreur was vampire. But 1t
may be believed that the hearts which
she broke were mended, whereas her
own was shattered past repair. At
thirteen Adrienne appeared In neigh
bOrhOod company of children, speak
ing the lines of the great COrneille
with q dramatic power which gained
her some celebrity. And she was
scarcely fifteen when the opportunity
came to join q company Of provincial
players.
She was twenty-five when Paris first
saw her. She had spent ten bitter
years in small companies. She also
had at least four serious love affairs
with more or less prominent men and,
in her own words, she was done with

not let her alone. For q time she patron.

Immediately Adrienne loved him
and three blissful years followed. Then
the duchy Of Courland was offered for
sale, with the rights of reigning duke.
This was the chance Of De SAKE. Adri-
enne knew that If he succeeded she
would lose him. But she pawned her
Jewels to help obtain the money. 1t
appears that several other women also
helped. But with this war chest
raised by women De SAKE was not
successful. The money escaped him.
He came back to Paris, broke. Ad-
rienne took him In, and was happy.
Then the duchesse de Bouillon,
very rich and very disreputable
great lady, cast her fancy upon De

A FINANCIAL NEST EGG

Postmaster J. +. Meehan, of Ches-
terheld, S. c., is engaged in an effort
to protect the citizens of this com
munity from the dangers of specu-
lative Investment which last year
cost the American public $500, ,OOO,-
600 in fraudulent stock transactions.
TO counteract this menace, the
Postmaster has addressed a strong
letter to a number of representative
citizens urging the safeguarding of
their savings by investment in United
States Treasury Certificates.
The Postmaster's letter stated a
NEST Egg" for future financial sue
cess was waiting at the post office in
the form of United States Treasury
securities exactly suited to every
ones pockct-book as they are issued
in denominations of SIS, $25, 500
and $1,000. These securities are in
surable without cost against every
form of loss to the purchaser and
bear four per cent interest, com
pounded quarterly, if held to ma
turlty. They are particularly attrac-
tive, not only in their security but
they are not subject to market f1uc-
tuaton, and can be converted into
cash at any time at higher price
than is paid for them.
The rapidity with which even small
asvings grow, the Postmaster states,
is indicated in the fact that s and a
few additional cents a week, saved
and invested in two So War saving
Stamps per month, will yield in 12O
months, 5000 in cash and 5000 more,
maturity value, payable $120 a year
for five years longer, total of $500
Tor an average saving and investment
OF little more than SO per nonth
for 120 months.
The POSTMASTER will be lad to IN
swer Inquiries about Government
Savings Securities, and invites the
public to call at the post office for
further information.
