Germany's ace trouble shooter,
Baron Franz Won Papen, apparently
has failed In his special mission to
swing Turkey away from France
and England and failure is a rare

wealthy Westphalian family.
Time and again, he has handled
important assignments for the

In trouble himself. Usually, he has
triumphed.
The United States learned about
him early in his career when, as
a graduate Of the German army,
he was serving as military attache

Americas entry into the World

THE YOUNG AND WISE

The crop of babies born amid the horror
OF that last that took their fathers lives,
ia hopeless sacrifice to greed and power
Ever the gutton war-god feasts and thrives:)
Now they are old enough for cannon-fodder;
Now they have come OF age to be shot down
By tousled, laughing strtplings like themselves,
AS summer forests prematurely brown
Perhaps the fear that wracked their mothers hearts
Ere their posthumous birth makes them wise,
And colnsels WISDOM SLOW deliberase:
There d no wild hysteria IN their eyes,
t,niv A stern commission In their BRAIN -
10 prove their fathers did not die In vain.

THE RAINS CAME

The rainy days have come at last,
DARK and drear with sky overcast;
In the midst of life's hurly-burly
Haven't they come just bit early?
The melancholy days have come,
Old Summer is looking like bum,
Winds whistle and winds sigh,
But there was rainbow In the sky.
The melancholy days can't last 81.
Til Labor is over, finished, past;
The rainy days have come, oh yes, but
They won't affect ones drive or putt. 4

Definition Of
 Indirect Aggres- sion Is Big Snag

LONDON, July 3l lP) Pre- mier Chamberlain acknowledged before the House of Commons that the definition of the term indirect aggression" was the ma jor snag holding up the conclu- sion of the proposed British French Russian mutual assist ance pact. He made the disclos- ure in a Foreign Affairs com mittee debate short time after he announced that military mis- sions would be sent to Moscow.
 He said: There is no secret about the fact that the British government, the French govern ment, and the Soviet government combined have not yet been able to agree upon definition of the term indirect aggression which would be satisfactory to all part ies. Although all three realize that indirect aggression might be just as dangerous as direct az gression, all three desire to find a satisfactory method for pro- viding against it."

MISS ALASKA LEAVES SOON FOR s FAIR

Given as a reward for winning the title of Miss Alaska" at the
 1889 Ice Carnival. Irene Reen- strom gets the trip to the San Francisco World Fair. The Sew ard girl is scheduled to leave about August 1 by steamer for the States.
 At Juneau Miss Alaska will be joined by Jane Gordon. Miss Fairbanks of this year. Miss Cor don will accompany her to San Francisco as manager of the Miss Alaska tour.
 lnasmuch as it is necessary and customary for Miss Alaska to have a travelling companion, Miss Gordon was requested by Carniv al officials to assume the position of manager of the trip. She had planned trip to the States any way, and her position as Miss Fairbanks, elected by the people of Fairbanks, and her experience at travelling made her the ideal choice in the opinion of those ar ranging the trip.
 Under a reciprocal arrange ment with transportation com panys and hotels, the major DOT thon of the tnaveling expenses of the two young women has been taken care of at no expense to the Carnival other than incllld- ing advertising in the Carnival program booklet.
 With Miss Alaska going only to San Francisco, the total cash ex- pense of this years tour figures to be less than in 1888 when Miss journeyed to Southern California The expenses include all of those attached to Miss Reenstrom's trip and small part of Miss Gordon's.

 Pandora Hits Rocks St. Elias

SEWARD The Coast Guard cutter Morris reported it had talk .en aboard the six survivors from the M. s. Pandora, which vessel is a total wreck.
 Members of the expedition, headed by Dr. Homer Flint Kel- lens, farmer-evangelist of Okla homa, included his 21-year-old daughter, Vivienne. All members were reported in good health, al though drenched by rain and eX- posture for 28 hours.
 The heavily-laden Pandora lay high on the beach Sunday night washed there by the high tide.
 The Morris reported the boat struck a line of rocks after the plot lost control and at the first impact the bow was damaged and the entire port side stove in with ribs broken along the en- tire side; the rudder was also broken off.
 The cutter stood by for what salvage work possible although it was reported virtually the entire cargo is lost.
 The wreck scene is three miles south of Cape St. Elias light house.
 JUNEAU-Kellem's Northwest Passage expedition is stranded at Seward and Customs officias re- ported the party is without funds to return to the States. The party can not qualify as ship wrecked mariners" under mari time laws because the crew is not listed as regular seamen and therefore not subject to trans portation at state or government expense.
