YOUNG ELK RUN DOWN
 BY SPEEDY ATHLETES
CBy Associated Pressl

HOQUIAM, Wash, Aug. l2.-Two Hoquiam men, Frank Briggs and Ben Northrup, recently on foot ran down a herd of elk in the Olympic peninsula wids northeast of here, and captured three elk calves for shipment to the Cheland national park in eastern Washington.
 A cougar joined the men in the chase of the herd, but the hunters were unarmed and unable, to their sorrow, to shoot this animal.
 There are a great many elk in the Olympic country and the hunters, when they started soon found a mother elk and her babes. The bucks at this time are away from the herds and high in the mountains. The men followed the herd until the calves became exhausted and hid themselves in the underbrush to avoid detection. Three calves were captured and brought here.

Bill Johnson, former national singles tennis champion has gone east for the big tournaments and thousands of his well wishcrs on the Pacific coast will watch his progress with keen interest. It always has been nip and tuck between Johnston and Tilden and it would be no sur prise if the San Franciscan won back the title from the present holder Those who have been watching John ston on the courts say that he is way ahead of the brand of game he usually plays at this season of the year. Another win for Johnson gives him permanent possession of the trophy. It requires three victories, not necessarily in succession, to cap. ture it.

VAUDEVILLE BULLS

New York Herald Bureau,
Berlin, Feb. 10.
An announcement that two trained
bulls would perform on the stage as the
main feature Of a vaudeville show in
the Apollo Theatre attracted n large
crowd here recently. But the act proved
even more startling than had been ex-
pected. when one Of the bulls, fright
ened by the music and applause. plunged
into box near the stage, from which
the occupants fled with wild screams
Next the bull jumped down TO the audi
ence in the orchestra and after scat
tering people left and right, began rae
ing UP one of the aisles.
Although great excitement prevailed a
panic was averted by one OF the clowns
on the bill. who shouted to the people
not to become alarmed. as the bull was
only doing a stunt for the movies. The
animal finally was captured by It's
trainers before any one was hurt.

Within the Mandate, They Say.

Within the Mandate, They Say.
1t Is the contention OF the British
Government that the mandate fulfills all
these promises.

said that all attempts to govern the
Arabs had been absurd. He character
lied them as real Moslems. cherishing
Moslem culture and with a religion

both France and England had conceded.
at the same time regarding this decision
as an important factor in conciliating
their own Moslem population in North
Africa and in India
In so far as using Mesopotamia as
bulwark against Bolshevism. he said:

Boshevist attack against India. Any adj
vance against India by way of Mesopo-
tamia would have to como down the
Tigris and branch off through Beluchis-
tan. With an outpost at Basra, such a
move could be defeated easily"
While this man is one who Is init
mately familiar with Mesopotamia and
Arabia, there is another powerful party
here composed of largely Anglo-Indian
officials. experts and larger imperial
agftators, who are not only bitterly op-
posed TO giving up Mesopotamia but are
outspokenly bitter because of the terms
of the mandate put Great Britain's in
terests there on a high moral ground
and forbid her taking any advantage for
herself. They argue that it was Brit

Turk out of these regions and that 1t is
Great Britains right to take compensa-
ton, il any is available They call at
tention to experiences III Egypt recently,
declaring that all the trouble there was
dlue to Russian influence.
At tho Same time they refer to Lord
Miners statement regarding the close
connection between Egypt and Mesopo-
tamia and assert that any agitation in
one of these countries is bound to have
a. serious repercussion in tho other, that
both Arab peoples are closely inter
locked. They believe that the evacua-
tion OF Mesopotamia by tho British
woulc create fresh demands for the
evacuation OF Egypt, thus striking at
the very spinal cord of the empire.
Nevertheless, the Mesopotamian party
would prefer thro wing over Mesopotamia
altogether rather than submit to the
mandate in It's present form. from which
they sec no returns for Great Britain
for her expenditures there.
However, the India Office drew up
the mandate and the influence OF the

not lacking there. Hence the terms of

Nevertheless the partial evacuation OF

already under way. Although troops

now stated that score or more battal-

Of evacuation undoubtedly awaits not
only the pacification of the country but
the determining of the final form OF the
British mandate in Paris next week
This situation again illustrates the
absurdity OF the League OF Nations po-
sition, for while the Allied Supreme
Council is sitting in London next week
considering the amendment OF the
Treaty OF Seyres, tho Council of the
League in Paris will be considering the
form OF the mandates derived from that
treaty. Arthur J. Balfour, Lord Presi-
dent OF the Council OF the British En-
pire. has just gone TO Paris after eX-
| tensive conferences with Premier Lloyd
George and Mr.. Churchill. In this con-
ncction IL may be said that Great

statesman has already proved how
we'll he can manage the League of
| Nations Council, with ono car to the

1t is frankly expected here that the
Council of the League will modify the

1t is not believed that ii can be induced
to tighten the burdens the mandate i'm
poses or to increase Great Britain's re-
ward. over both of which points those
who want Great Britain TO get out OF
Mesopotamia and those who want her to
stay there criticize the mandate. Lord
