RUSSIA AND HKIt ALLIES
Those who are iudiued to take I
seriously reports of Russian |
discontent with the part her allies !
are i;laying iu the war should give j
lull consideration ' U> certain b;isic j
conditions which have existed from
the beginning. They ought also to
note the manifestations ox the feel
ing of the Russian government
which are too plain to be misunder
stood. '
Russia knows that France, Great
Riiiuia aud Italy were all drawn
into the war ou her account. Rus
sia was the first nation Germany
declared war against. Tho othe.'s
were involved bcause of a contro
versy which did not at first con- I
cern the nations of western Europe
Russia also knows that if she had
been left alone to fight Germany ,
auj Austria-Hungary she would
have been crushed completely long
ago and compelled to sue for peace
ou any teruis cbtainable from the
victors. What is still morg im
portant is that Russian statesmen
well know that their only hope ot '
emerging 'rom the war with their'
country anything else than a vassal,
of Germany lies iu the continued
and loyal support of Russia's allies. 1
Is it strause, iu view of taese
facts, that the brilliant assseuiblage
at the opening of the Duma gave
the diplomatic representatives of1
the powers allied with Russia a
splenuid reception? Could tho I
heads of the Russian ministry do
less than pay tribute, as they did,
to the gallant manner in w hich i
Russia had been sustained and en
couraged by her allies?
.Whatever Russians of high de
gree or low may think of the man
agement of the British aud French
campaign they have but one course
to take and one possible way out
of peril. They must hold fast to
thp league of nations arrayed
against Germany, Austria-Hungary
and' Turkf- and show becoming
gratitude for all help received and
expected.—Cleveland Leader.
ARCTIC PAINTED DARKLY
FOR ASPIRING TEACHERS
University of Washington, • Aug.
10—several summer session stu
dents who entertained hopes of
teaching in Alaska, had their expec
tations disappointed somewhat in
interview recently with William T.
Lopp, chief of the Alaska division
of the United States bureau of ed
ucation. Mr. Lopp saw the aspir
ant* in his office in the Smith
building. '
"On account of the depressing in
fluence of climate aud isolatiou,"
he said, "I refuse to send any
young woman alone ti» teach Alas
kan natives. The most satisfactory
applicants are a man and his wife,
who are experienced teachers with
an interest in primary social ser
vice. '
"My advice is not to go except
in groups. Teachers of white chil
dren are not obtaiued through the
bureau of education, but by applica
tion to local school boards, as in
the United States proper."
DELEGATION OF PROMINENT

CHl'GACH RESERVE RESTORED
xo HOMESTEAD EM'KV
Portland, Ore., Aug. lo — Six
million acres of laud formerly em
braced in the Chugach National
Fortst Reserve, Alaska, have been
restored to general homestoad en
try by order of President Wood
row .Wilson, according to a bul
letin issued hero yesterday by the
forest service.
Coming on the heels of Chiof
forester Graves' recent statement
that h* would vigorously fight any
attempt to abandon the Chugaoh or
TcuguSs reserves, the above news
dispatch is quite a surprise.
In his last two annual reports,
Cov. J. F. A. Strong urgently re
commeuded that the Chugach lor
es t reserve bo abolished, but as
yet lias received no official notifi
cation that this has been done.

The Amateur as Bofttmakir.
Ill the early days when Tolstoy adopt
ed manual labor us a religious duty tie
'ooU lessons in bootuaklng to occupy
liini during the long winter evenings.
He was at work diligently hammering
the wooden pegB Into the red sole, an
art he had just mastered, says the
"Reminiscences of Tolstoy," by his son,
when Prlnco Obolenski came In.
"Ixiok, Isn't that grand?" said my fa
ther exultantly, holding out his work j
for the visitor to see.
"It doesn't seem so very difficult,"
said Obolenski, half in joke.
"Well, you try!"
''Bight you are!"
"Very good, but on one condition—
every peg you drive in I'll pay you a
rouble, and every one you break you'll
pay me 10 copecks. Agreed?"
Obolenski took tho boot, awl and
hammer and broke eight pegs, one aft
er the other; then he laughed ■with bia
good humored laugh and amid general
hilarity paid SO copecks, which went to
tho shoemaker.
Lawrence Barrett's Romeo.
Irving contributed to tho gayety of
a supper a story ubout Lawrence Bar
rett One night Barrett and his old
friend, Edwin Booth, met at their club
In New York. Barrett, after a brief
greeting, bustled toward tho door with
every appearance of remembering a
pressing engagement.
"Halloa! Where are you off to?"
Booth asked.
"To n rehearsal," said Barrett
"What's the play?"
Barrett said It was "Borneo and Ju- j
liet"
"And what part do you take?" Booth
asked In sudden acccss of interest
"There is only one part for me in the
play," Barrett said, drawing himself
up in lofty indignation.
"Oh, ah, yes," said Booth; "I know—
the nurse!"
Tho angered tragedian stood forth in
haughty silence and did not speak to
Booth for two days.—Strand Magazine.
Tho Caged Emperor.
After Elba Napoleon became b bogey
to tho whole world as well as to tho
British government which had the
guarding of him. "Lord Bathurst be
lieved," says Norwood Young in "Na
poleon In Exile: St. Helena (1S15
1S21)," "that Napoleon spent his tirna
in ccncocttng plans for escape." But,
said tho outlaw to O'Moara, "Where
could i go to. allowing that I got out
of the Island? Every place I could
arrive at I would find enemies to seize
u:e." This panicky dread of Napo
leon's escape from St. Helena led to
England's annexation of the uninhab
ited island of Ascension, 700 miles dis
tant The even more distant island
of Tristan d'Acunha was similarly |
taken possession of the following year,
because it was thought to bo too dan
gerously near the Napoleonic influ

Sidestepping a Query. |
"When dat uppity collld man tried to ^

Brother Cuddyhuinp, "by asin' If de
world Is round, like some folks say j
tls, why de doose don't de peoplo on !

putt It in writing uhkaze I don't know

Piano and Violin.
It Is undoubtedly true that between
tho piano and tho violin tho latter Is
tho harder Instrument to master. The
piano Is much more of n machine than
the violin, and Its technique as com
pared with that of tho violin Is very
much easier to get hold of. The most
human of all Instruments, the violin Is
almost boundless In its demands upon
tho skill of ttro performer.—New York

Very Much So.
"I wonder what the poet meant when |
he alluded to woman in her hours of

to please."
"I don't know about the coy part,"
said the saleslady, "but when it eoraes
to picking out a hat she's Jill the rest |
of it"—Louisville Courier-Journal. j
