The National Association OF Sub

organization composed OF the sub
stitute employees OF all branches OF
the Postal Service.

substitute. In order TO become a
substitute II is necessary 10 pass a

LURE OF GOLD
 CALLS AGAIN
Alaska Yields Many Tons Each Valued at
 SS40,000

Seattle-(UP)-In 1897 a ton of gold was taken out of Alaska val ued at $4S0,000 and the world was startled.
 In 1894 more gold will be taken out of the rech territory than ever before at value of $S40,000 ton.
 News of strikes, hundreds of prospectors along the old Yukon Trail and old, idle mines yielding big returns at the new price of $35 an ounce, was brought to Seattle by persons returning from Alaska.
 Capital has been thrown into the new hunt for gold and expen- sive machinery is taking the place of the pick and shovel. Little has been written about it because mine operators and prospectors don't want "the world to move in on them"
 Unusual activity was reported along the White Pass and Yukon railroad, near Bennett, Carcross and Whitehorse.
 Carcross. easily reached via Skagway, is booming. So is Atlin and Dawson, where prospectors are reported along every creek with gold pans and sluice boxes.
 North and east of Fairbanks a "new" gold field was opening up and scores of prospectors were along the Tolovana river district.

 Grand Rapids, Mich (UP)-De- monetize war!
 That is the formula Senator Ar thur H. Vandenberg of Michigan believes the world must follow to secure peace. To that end he IS making plans here to lead the Senate in a crusade to end war by ending the profits" of war.
 Vandenberg, staunch republican and much talked of presidential timber for 1886, is the co-author of the Vandenberg-Nye resolution, which initiated Senate investigat- ing committee at the last session to route out the trouble-making munition manufa cturers of the country.
 $25,OOO Per Man
 'It cost $25,000 to kill a man in the World War;" Senator Vanden- berg said. War profits are one of the greatest menaces to world peace. In my view the end of the comm ercial motive in connection with armed conict will end the ex- istence of Public Enemy No. 1 in respect to peace"
 Accordingly, this important sen ate committee, which Vandenberg helped to conceive, is about to Init the trail" along many fronts. 1t seeks to know chiefly: CD What is the character and the extent of the war munitions business in the United States and it's traffic with foreign nations: (2) are existing treaties and laws at home ade- quate to bring the traffic in or ganized death under control, and (3) how can the world effectively demonetize war?
 Conspiracy Against Peace
 "We know that European muni- ton makers virtually constitute an international conspiracy against peace. We know that they disrupt peace conferences and encourage wars," the senator revealed.
 What we want to know is whether American munitions

OREGON REBEL
 MUDDIES WATER
Insurgent Conceded Slight Chance for Political
 Victory

Salem. Oregon - (UP) - Seek ing election as the second in- dependent governor of Oregon, h. surgent State Senator Peter Zim- merman of Lamhill stumped the commonwealth today.
 Zimmerman was nominated, under election laws of the state, by Salem convention of voters calling themselves True Progress sives." Support swung to him af- ter two republican and one demo- cratic left-wing candidates failed to win party nominations in the May primaries.
 Slight Chance to Win
 Party leaders conceded the in- dependent small chance for vic tory over State Senator Joe k. Dunne, republican,, and General Charles H. Martin, democrat. There was much speculation, how ever, as to whom he would injure the most in the general election campaign, Dunne or Martin.
 Observers credited Zimmerman with large blocks of farm and la bor votes. He was being actively supported by leaders of the State Grange and Federation of Labor, active in Oregon politics. Supporters Arguments
 His supporters pointed out: the election of Julius L. Meier as an independent in 130; that the combined vote of the three left wing candidates in the primaries, Sam Brown and Rufus Holman, republicans, and Willis Mahoney, democrat, should be sufficient to elect Zimmercan if it could be swung to him.
 The True Progressive" plat. form on which Zimmercan sought the governorship included state ownership of power lines, higher income and inheritance taxes, government ownership of banks, increased old age pensions.

Declaration Of War
 Saw Europe Resigned
Austrian-Eiungarian Ultimatum Was But an Excuse
 for Forty Years of Preparedness

Still on July 31, telegrams were flying back and forth between Paris and Berlin and one which moved Europe closer to was was the kaiser's demand that in the event of Germany mobilizing Frances neutrality must be guar anteed by allowing the Germans to occupy the forts of Verdon and Foul. French acquesence to to this request would have given the kali ser the greatest salient in Europe.
 Neutrality Refused
 On Aug 1, Britain repled that it could no longer guarantee the neu- trality of France, in a Russo-Ger- man war. At 4:45 p. m. France or dered general mobilization. At 5 D. m. the German mobilization was effective. At 6 p. m. Germany declared war on Russia.
 On Aug 2 at 2:45 p. m. the Brit ish fleet was ordered mobilized. At 4 p. m. the sealed letter in the hands of the German ambassado in Burssels was delivered, notify ing Belgium of Germanys inten- ton to cross its frontiers.
 On Aug 3, Rumania declared neutrality. At noon the British army was ordered mobilized. and at 4 D. m. Germany declared war on France. During the night Ger man troops violated Luxembourg and Belgium.
 Aug 4, Belgium broke relations with Germany, it's troops defend ing its territory, and Britain de- ciared war on Germany at mid night, at the expiration of it's ul- timatum to Berlin.

This, naturally, does not imply that no contracts for construction will be concluded with foreign firms. This is, on the contrary, being done all the time. Foreign firms are building railways, sthe operation of which, for economic as we'll as for national reasons, we consider the exclusive domain of the state.
 'Pre-revolutionary concessions, given liberally by the Ottoman government to foreigners, were an outgrowth of the system of capitu- lation under which Turkey was kept by the imperialistic powers in the state of semi-colonized country.

 For this reason, the GhaZis government is doing away with tho remnants of the old concessions.

MISSOURiANS
 WED 70 YEARS
Queen City Couple De- nOunce Modern Institu-
 ton of Divorce

Queen City. Mo (UP)-Married 70 years!
 That's the record of MT and Mrs Baty S. Collins of Queen City.
 When they recently celebrated their seventieth anniversary of married life Collins propounded his views on matrimony and was par ticularly scathing in denouncing the modern institution of divorce.
 Its a shame the way young folks get divorced these days" he said. Tt seems they get married just for fun. Of course, it's human nature to get out of sorts at times, but I'd never leave my woman to suffer. I've been mad enough at times to skip out and go back to the army, if l didn't believe as l do."
 And Mrs Collins, sitting quietly in rocker, smilingly agreed.
 Collins, Civil war veteran, re- called his financial plight after be- ing mustered out of the army. He said he had hard time at first, but always managed to eke out an existence. He finally succeeded in getting an $8 month pension and with that money bought and paid for the house where they are now living.
 Eight of II children are now living and Collins recalled how at the last reunion he gave each of them $100.
 And I had 15 or 20 cents left, too." he chuckled
 A republican, he expressed a hope President Roosevelt would come out on top, but, he added, "I just don't see how he is going to do it."
 And Mrs Collins, confirmed democrat, smiled tolerantlY.

 Ankara, Turkey (UP)-"Foreign capital will be welcome in Turkey for the development of public util- tiles, such as electricity plants and irrigation systems, provided it complies with the laws of our country" Ali Bey, minister of pub lie works, has announced.
 Ali Bey. one of the Ghazi's clos est friends, has had very varied career. A colonel in the war, he was taken prisoner by the British army and interned on Malta, where he employed his leisure to learn the English language. Upon his return he rejoined Mustafa Renal and has served him in many ca- pacities.

Morgenthau. He clamped down definitely and set Sep tember 1st as the last date for those holding political jobs to make their decisions one way or the other. Resign by September 1st from party posts or seek employment elsewhere-this was Morgen- thau's final warning this week. Running for office was also prohibited.
 Mrs Nora Mahaney Harris of New Haven, formerly of Waterbury, Yice-chairman of the democratic state central committee, appeared to-day to be holding her own in the race for the post that must be va cated by Mrs WeIch if she fig ures the salary she gets as cus- toms collector is worth more to her than the glory connect ed with being member of the democratic national commit tee. Mrs Joscpha Whitney of New Haven, Mrs Ida Thomas of New Milford and Mrs Ward Duffy of Hartford are still in the running, GiSO, as well as the energetic democratic worker of Meriden, Mrs De- Ianey.
 Senator David Goldstein of Bridgeport, democrat, presi- dent pro-tem of the 1883 ses- sion of the state senate, has decided to be candidate for reelection once more. He also represented the 22nd district, which is located in Bridge port, in 1929 and 1881 sessions of the senate. Two years ago he received the support of Governor Wilbur l.. Cross and the ''new guard" when the democratic members of the senate caucused to elect a president pro-tem. He defeated Senator John C. Blackall of Hartford, native of Water bury, and received the votes of the two local senators, Athletic Commissioner Joseph H. Liwlor and Attorney Jo- seph A. Hackett. much to the disappointment of local demo- cratic leaders.
 High Sheriff Thomas F. Reilly, democrat, of Fairfield county, who figured so prom inently in the news sometime ago in connection with alleged plans for the escape of pris- Oner from the states prison at WetherSfield but who has very great following, has an- nounced that he will be u can didate to succeed himself. Colonel Reed D. Dclacour, chairman of the Stratford re- publican town committee, has also announced that he will seek the nomination on the g.o.p. ticket.
 Speaking of shrieveity nom- nations, last night James k. O'Leary of this city was prcs- cnt at q gathering in Milford called by certain New Haven county leaders.

Blue Shirt Group
 Is Police Plan

Most people cast admiring glances at the gold badges worn by policemen from the rank of ser geant up, but if Police Supt. Joseph H. Mclean has his way about 1t, the officers will stand out even more in the future. The gold badges gleam can be seen from many feet away but the superin-r tendent thinks his officers should be able to be determined as to rank almost immediately.
 The superintendent yesterday asked the board of police commis- sioners to authorize him to allow officers from sergeant up to wear white shirts instead of the present blue. Patrolmen would continue to wear the blue shirts. The petition which will undoubtedly be ap- proved, was referred to the com- mittee on men and discipline.
