 Pooler refused to speculate on how Mccormick met death or how 1t happened that his body was a mile from the place where Whitmer, the more experienced climber of the two, had fallen to hic death. There was no information on how long the body had been on the canon ledge. Perce remained with his Indians at a remote camp in the mountains, and .here was no statement from him.

 It was made plain that the count would deny that he had made any threats.
 Taken to Bow Street Scotland Yard men escorted Haughwitz-Reven directly to Bow Street Police Court on his ar- rival at Victoria Station in the crack overnight Paris-London Ex- press.
 He was arraigned on a threats warrant which the countess had ob- tained, and after hearing of only a few minutes at the opening of the court day, he was remanded on the application of his chief counsel, Norman Birkett.
 Thus it was apparent that a still somewhat mysterious dispute be- IiiC tOlhiLs uiltt NOuiibCeo WoD final one, and 1t was expected that proceedings would be started formally and at once in Danish courts for separation, which would lead to a divorce.
 It was learned that the countess already had put their two year old son, Lance, under the protection of the British courts and the crown by having him made a ward in Chancery. This means that until he is 2l, the Chancery court may direct his upbringing and his educa- tion. He is a British subject be- cause Of his birth here, though his father is Dane and the countess renounced her American citizenship last December to become a Danish subject.

Road to Eternity

Read in this evenings Times
that Jane Wakeman, who had
by means of astrology read in
the planets the lend Of the
world was near" committed
suicide, it is to say to those
who, like st. Peter of 1900 years
ago are looking forward to that
happening, not to get excited
and shuttle off until they have
digested the following:
Early in September, 1918,
while strolling alone in lonely
spot in the Soldiers Home
Grounds, I heard an independ-
ent voice saying:
"In the year 1877 Christ will
come to reign in mems hearts
through his teachings" which
caused me to decamp from the
grounds IN q hurry.
Regarding it merely as an
hallucination, I proceeded to
forget about it until 1882, sit
ting with Caroline Wister, came
the Spirit of Ancient (the Soul
Of Mani and relsyed:
"The trumpet shall sound
and time will be no more"
"Win it be in the year 1912"
I asked. Without any hesita-
ton came the relay: "You have
a good memory"
Now that happening will be
similar to the going down Of
Atlantis as Christ himself in
forms us in Matthew 2437 and
he also informs US in the
twenty-second verse the same
chapter that all flesh is not
going to perish, but will be
needed to start off the new
civilization.
