OFFICIALS SEEKING TO STOP ANTI-REPUBLICANS
Professors Lived We'll Under Kaiser And Remember His
 Career ReVerently


 BERLIN, August Il. - On this fourth anniversary of the German re- public, German school children are being taught that the Versailles treaty IS all wrong, and, according to whether or lot the teacher is a liberal, they are being taught either that Gcrmluy fought d defensive war or that the war was a product uf EuroDcan conditions-ba balances of z power. intrigue and the like. In no case, are .hey told that Germany was suley guilty.
 There is :. vast deal of monarch istlc propa gandd, sometimes clever Iy concealed, sonnet times quite open, sliIl taught in the German schools, despite the fact that Germany has been d republic for four years. The reason for this lies in the fact that most of the teachers are of the old type-men who lived we'll under the old kaiser and had some standing i'll the community.

 But, they have bumped nto hard system which will root out only with time They have succeeded. however, to the extent that most schools have dropped much of the controversial with respect to modern historical questions. Attack Treaty.
 There IS, as above mentioned, a unanimlty uf teaching with respect to the alleged 2normities and injus- tlees of the Versailles treaty. As for the war, 1t IS fairly accurately pictured, cX.eut when it comes to the question of causes. There the teacher differs.

TIE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
 in Preserving Health and Beauty


 Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most effI- cient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but rev realize it's value VI hen properly prepared and taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; It IS not a drug at all, but simply ab- sorbs the gases and impurities all ways present in the stomach and in- testines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, and after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat irony the poison of catarrn.
 Ali druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuarts Absorbent Loz- enges; they are composed of the
 
 dered to extreme fineness then com pressed in tablet form or rather "a the form of large. pleasant tastina Lozenges, the charcoal being sweet ened to be smooth and palatable
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, bet ter complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. Many physicians advise Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges to patients suf- fering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexijn and purify the breath, mouth and throat. They are also believed 10 greatly benefit the liver. These lozenges cost but thirty cen.s a box at drug stores, and you get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Ab- sorbent Lozenges than in any of the o1 dnary charcoal tablets.--Adv.

 As his guards slept he drove away in a big automobile across several states and into Canada, eluding cap ture and getting aboard ship bound for Europe, although all po- lice of the cities through which he passed and hundreds of secret serv- ice men were bending every effort to make him prisoner.
 The escape was so sensational and Bergdoll so openly taunted the gov ernment about the ease with which he accomplished it, that q congress sional inquiry was held and those responsible severly reprimanded.

GIuttonouS Beast Of Weasel Family Falls Before
 Mans Attacks

SAN FRANCISCO, August 11.-(By Associated Press )-The Sierra, Ne Vada. wolverine. known as the "glut- ton of America" and famed for his fierce and bloodthirsty disposition,. is making his last stand in the high S;e!ras, according to Walter Fry, head of the nature guide service, Se- puoil National Park, Cal. The vol Verine, Mt. Fry says, is being killed off by man. his natural enemy, and by his own gluttonous habit of killing and eating the porcapine. The lat tcr's uuills puncture the wolverines intestinc3 causing him death of agony in from seven to ten days.
 "Tho wolVerine.' says MT. Fry, lis by far the largest and most formid able of the weasel family. It is strong, heavy-bodied animal, seldom weighing more than 12j pounds, or exceeding - inches in beigLt or 40 inches in length. The wolverine, commonly speaking. is not an az sressiVe animal, but will fight des- perateiy when attacked, or for the care of Its young.
 Knows Ao Retreat.
 When once engaged in combat the beast knows no such thing as retreat, dying. it need be, but never failing back. He fights as long as single spark of life remains.
 Mountain lion, bear, and mountain coyotes. whether coming singly or collectively upon a wolverine, seem to tuiy realize his ferociousness and quickly give way to his path. The wolverine not only expects the larger animals to leave him alone, but re- uutres them to give up their own prey and permit him to satisfy his gIut- t1nOus sppepite. have witnessed big game leave a carcass when a wol- verine appeared. giving him free reign to deVoUr the remains.
 "The wolverine has no winning bursts of speed to catch his food sup ply. nor has he the gift of stalking his quarry. His lack of speed and skill has forced the animal to be ScaVenger and oaL anything in the way of flesh that is captured or found dead. He often follows the trap lines of fur trappers eating or destroying the catches, baits, and, al times, dragging away the traps. Invade Rangers Cabin.
 He will invade q rangers or trap per cabin by tearing a hole through the roof or side-Wall, destroy the food contents, and what'he cannot eat or carry away he will destroy in man ner that renders the food unfit for use. He will eXpend a surprising amount of labor in carrying off and bCrying foodstuffs and articles for which he has no use'
 However, despite the destructive nature of the wolverine, MT Fry says the animal should not be eXtermi- mated He urges that steps be taken immediately for the animals pro- lection. He says:
 These animals have played an im- portant part in helping to save the larger game animals during the at tacks of contagious diseases by con suming as food the dead and sick animals, thus preventing the spread of the contagion. At their present rate of extinction they will soon go down and out and will join in history the mastodon and mammoth of the past"

LONDON, Aug. 11-(By Associated Press.)-A new era in air flying, that of cheap. safe, popular airplaning, is fCreshadowed by the remarkable sue cess attained by tiny British air planes called motor gilders, One of these, a small monoplane fitted with a three horse power engine, recently reached speed of 5 miles an hour during tests near London. It climbed to 2,350 feet, and although in the air for an hour and 20 minutes consumed less than a gallon of petrol. Perfect "POcket-Planes."
 French aviation experts also are perfecting similar "pocket-planes. % intended for use by amateur avaitors and sporting enthusiasts. At con- test soon to be held near Paris 90 of these diminutiVe planes will take part. In ~England a small lear with wings capable of carrying it's owner through the air at the speed of an express train With no more power than is required by a motorcycle, has reached such practical stage that orders are being booked for it by the public.

MOsLENs GATHER. IN CITY IF MEGA FOR DISCREPANCIES
Pilgrims Flock To Holy Shrine For Day 0t
 Sacrifice

CAIRO. August 11-By Associated PFess) )-Pngrims are now conVerging on Mecca, their sacred city and the birthplace of Mohammed. Thousands are travelling from all parts of the Moslem world to be present on the day of sacrifice. July 24. Egyptian Mohammedans have dispatched the sacred carpet to Mecca, with elabo- rate ceremonial and prayer.
 Since the burial of the Prophet Mo hammed, more than 9 thousand years ago, Christians have been forbidden to enter the Holy City, which is sur rounded with great mystery and ven- eration. But in spite of this inter- diction, 16 Christians are known to have entered the city in disguise. Death would have been their fate If they had been detected. Thus far no American has set foot within it's sacred walls. The foreigners who have penetrated the city have been mostly Englishmen who spoke Arabic and disguised themselves as priests or peasants.
 Discard Ordinary Clothing.
 On arrival within a short distance of Mecca the pilgrim discards his ordinary clothing and assumes the garb of "Hajee"-a garment con- sisting of white apron with a piece of cloth thrown over the shoulder. Sandals may be worn, but the head must be kept uncovered.
 In the city itself certain ablutions are performed, after which the Black stone" is kissed, and the pill grim runs seven times round the mosque. After special prayers and genuflections he. then drinks from the Holy Well, and once more kisses the stone.

statement and will be subject to many interpretations after Coolidge has made his record. Borah, common ly classed with the progressives of the party, has grown somewhat away from his former close relations with Johnson. He is also up for re-elec- tion next year and wants, of course. to make the race with the support of the republicans of his state So, again the Coolidge Luck" seemse to be getting in it's work.
 Political interest is turnng expect antly to the political machine which Harding left behind to see whether it will go to the support of Cool idge, turn behind some other candi- date, or distintergrate and scatter to the various other factions.
 Already there is some tendency to coolness between the Coolidge and Harding groups. This was aggra- vated by the action of Col. C. O. Sherill the Harding military aide in returning Major o. M. Baldinger, assistant White House aide, to his former assignment in the regular army.
 Baldinger Marion Boy.
 Baldinger is an old Marion boy. and a favorite of Mrs. Harding's, and there was some criticism that this change should have been an- nounced before the funeral part- left Washington for Marion. In reply to this criticism, Sherill explained that he was relieving his subordinate so that he might be near Mrs. liar ling during the next few months, when she will pc out of the White House
 Also, some members of the Har- ding entourage understood that of cial papcrs on the Presidents desk o+ ir, turbed. Naturally, the Harding peo. pie felt ttat nothing should have been touched until George Christian returned to remove the late Presi- dents private papers from his desk.
 Some of the Coolidge friends feel that Christian was nasty in announce ing his resignation immediately after the funeral at Marion. In his state ment, Christian said he had already advised President Coolidge that he wished to retire. Coolidges friends say the President knew nothing of the matter until he read it in the newspapers.
 LOwden's Friends at Work.
 There is considerable talk about the prospects Of Frank o. LLwden, former governor of Illinois. among some Harding people. Lowden was twice rendered a place in the liar ding sabinet, but he refused, feeling that inasmuch IS he has been reject ed at the republican convention, he cording to the pilgrims means. This concludes the pilgrimage.
 Tie meat of the slaughtered animal is prepared for use on the return ;ourney, and the pilgrim receives a certificate that he is now a "Hajee." As a mark of distinction he thcre- after wears a green band round his headdress, which proves to all the world that he has endured the a1rd-
