Washington, Aug. 19.—When ‘we dropped down the river toward the sea, from Liv- erpool, evening was falling. All about’ us were war ships. The great Mauréta- nia, loaded with 8,000 Irishmen, their hearts still +aching and their throats still hoarse from their good-byes, pass- ed us, headed for the Dardanelles. White Lights on Sign, Workmen were thrusting long wooden arms from the side of our ship; at the end of each arm was a great electric light that threw its rays back against the hull of the boat. I looked down and I saw that the lamps were throwing their white light on the words, painted in giant black letters, “New York, America.” Our Flag is Safe. German eyes looked up at us from under the sea that night beyond a doubt, for the Orduna, a boat that passed up, was almost torpedoed not a great distance from us. That rock- ing, rollicking electric sign helped + me to discover America afresh. Un- der its charm. we went on our way, safe in the pathway of death. For a year I had seen nothing but war; I had seen everythihg go down be- tore it and I had forgotten that there ‘was one spot- or -one” flag in the world chat«wxs safe.’ ‘The . thrill that cofifes f16in Yealizing under such circumstarices that there IS one flag that.is safe pud that 10. is YOUR flag is almbst [ erwhelming -* Nothing Like Tt in World. Eight nights later, on a summer Sunday evening. we appmached New York. On our left the lights of the qulet Jersey villages began - to blink. On our. right the fiery out- lines of old Coney Island grew bright- er and brighter, as night deepened. Standing .on the deck Henry P. Davidson, & partner in the J. P.

DRUGGISTS UNDERTAKE T0 CORREGT DRUG LAW Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 2.— The National Association of Retail Druggists in session here today will undertake to correct alleged incon- sistencies in the Harrison drug law.

RED LAKE FALLS FIRE GAUSES HEAVY DAMAGE Red Laks, Falle, Minn., Sept. 2.— Fire starting shortly after midnight destroyed four frame buildings and seriously damaged a fifth structure in the business section of Red Lake Falls. The buildings destroyed were the Guerin garage, the Sieff livery barn, the Bordi Land company’s office and the" Modern” “Woodman hall. The ‘Woolsey meat market was also badly damaged. Five horses were burned to death in the Sieff livery barn, where the flames originated from an unknown cause. The total loss from the blaze is es- timated as being in the neighborhood of §$8,000, partly covered by insur- ance. The pressure tank in the water- works was exhausted in the course of the battle with the flames and the firemen were compelled to pump mflsters of fiiaiice, looked upon - the (Continued on Tast page). WAR NATIONS REACH FIRST STEP FOR PEAGE By I.°W. T. Mason. The fharq and intricate road to peacécontinues-to be tested in the belligerent countries. The sugges- tion of possible negotiations for end- ing ilie' war, made this week by the editor of the London Economist, is reproduced by the Berlin Vossischa Zeitung_and meets with no scorn. Comments of a conditionless peacc imposed by a triumphant victor are no longer: heard. Not. Fighting for Supremacy. The ‘German government, in the official North German Gazette, has partly assisted the tentative peace movement by denying that Germany is fighting for supremacy. Sir Ed- ward Grey " recently declared there could be no peace as long as Ger- many fought for “supremacy” and “tribute.”- Germany denies she is seeking supremacy and charges Eng- land with deslrlng supremacy for her- self. [ England Denies Ambitions. | But. what is meant by supremacy is actual military supremacy in Eur- i ope itself. A power whose chief strength is on the sea and not on| land can’ never attain military su- premacy in the sense feared by Eur- ope. fingland's denial of supremacy for herself, therefore, is an.assured fact; and, since Germany has repudi- ated a’desire for Teutonic supremacy the first essential basis for peace has been reached., 5 “The Rosary” at Rex.

ENGLISH DOUBT VALUE OF GERMAN CONCESSIONS London, Sept. 2.—Politicians here today refused to believe that Ger- many’s concessions to the United States would be a sufficient reason to cause the Allies to lift blockade. They say that the United States is too much in earnest in regard to peace and have overestimated the im- portance of the German concessions. HAY FEVER ASSOCIATION MEETS Bethlehem, N. H., Sept. 2.—The United States Hay Fever Association met in its forty-second annual con- vention here today, hoping the air of the White Mountains would make possible sessions not too constantly in- terrupted by sneezing. The hope was realized through the most inter- esting speeches. Dr. R. Kendrick Smith of Boston, osteopath, told how to eradicate th: fever by massage. He argued that the pollen theory has been disproved, that the fact his hearers sneezed while spoke, though the air was free of dust and pollen, made the theory untenable. “I'd go through anything for you,” said the crook to his best girl. “Yes, even my pocket, I suppose,” replied the girl, suspiciously.
