The two Scions were cousins, reared together in Syria and had Jong operated in this section of ‘North Dakota. The slaying took place in a deserted trail on Christmas eve last. Scion's ‘statement. on the stand, told in halt-) ing and picturesque Rnglish, with the gestures and idom of the orient, was} intensely dramatic. He. protested | throughout the trial that the shooting | was accidental; that the gun was dis- charged while he was attempting to empty the chamber, and that fear as! to his fate in a strange country led} him to attempt to conceal the body instead of immediately notifying the authorities of the accident. He par-. ticularly dreaded, he declared, the! vengeance of his own people, of the nearby Syrian ¢olony. colony.

HOLDS PIVOTAL "POSITION IN’ WAR Teutons Hinges on Ace tion of America. ‘WHAT ALLIES EXPECT OF US | | in East Hope of Generals in West. By ARTHUR S. DRAPER. (in the New York Tribune.) London.—America now holds the pl- j votal position in the war, This fact ' America today is like a football play- jer called into the game late in the sec- ‘ond half, when the rival teams, bat- tered and tired, are still struggling desperately, but are practically dead- | locked. The European allies feel that they are near enough to the German goal for America to boot the ball over {the crossbar. America does not yet appreciate how much dependence the allies are plac- jing on her, nor the difficulties ahead. | Henceforth the whole campaign of the | grand allies will revolve around Amer- |ica—and Russia. But the Russian leaders today are frank to admit that for the present at least Russia will fol- | low the sympathetic lead of republican America. What Allies Expect. France is looking to America to give jher assistance in the line of battle and | ‘© support her financially. Italy looks for money. Serbia hopes to get Slavs i | from America to re-enforce her battered i army. Belgium asks little, but will be devoutly grateful for anything. Eng- land, strong and confident, is overjoyed {with what her new partner already has done. America can and will soon become |the dominating factor of the war. She | ‘Is fresh; her resources are unlimited ; she has a definite policy. Whether or | {not America wants the limelight, it will | be thrust upon her. | She can become the leader of the world or the scapegoat of the grand alliance. It is for her to choose, but jupon what she does in: the next few world for generations. Some weeks ago Premicr Lloyd | George appealed to America forships, ships, ships.” Now his appeal, if he ed speak frankly, would be for |beating Germany in 1918 or 1919, but | statesmen know that the people will no longer be satisfied with anything but hard facts. Within the central powers unrest has been bottled up for so long that it is becoming more dar- ing, and even the Prussian government fears revolution. The Lloyd: George feeling exists. That is why it 1s essential for Amer- lca to make speed. Still Determined to Win. I must make it perfeetly clear that there is no weakening of she determin- jation of the allies, no desire for “peace without victory.” But there is a real dependenec on America to assist in ob- taining a peace which, in the words of General Smuts, would establish “se- curity in the future” for all peoples, large or small. But that peace cannot be secured who know every detail of the situa- |tion as It exists today. Labor, Ireland, |Hquor and food are only a few of the | questions which this government must 'tinues its pressure on the enemy. Around the British premier is & {group of men who are stern, ard un- | compromising—Milner, Curzon, Carson —but they have reached a critical juncture, and will make or break the | government by their decisions in the jnext few weeks. —— Better Disciplined and Equipped Than Ever Before. Petrograd.—Reorgantzed, better dis- |ciplined and better equipped, the Rou- 'manian army is in action again, Fer- dinand’s ravished kingdom is far dif- {ferent from the disorganized host that | fled eastward last year before the ‘overwhelming hordes of Von Falken- {hayn and Von Mackensen, Thtoughout the winter months and jlate into the spring Russian, British ;and French officers worked over the | Roumanian troops, drilling them in jthe new fighting tactics which this, | the greatest of all wars, has brought | out. The new Roumantan army is the ‘pride of King Ferdinand’s eye and great things are expected from it | this coming summer. | | | Fearing Onion Shortage, He Stole.

Re- vealed Workings of League Proved Revelation Bottineau, N. D., June 18.--A change in sentiment toward the league is re- ported locally as a result of the de- bate between Senator L. P.

Famous Players Star in Thrilling Ro- mantic Drama of Past and Present “Silks and Satins,” the delightfully charming romance in which little Mar- guerite Clark is being starred by the Famous Players Film company on the Paramount Program, is a reflection of every youthful dream that was ever dreamed. For in this trilling breath from another day, which is the fea- ture at the Bismarck theatre this week. dainty little Miss Clark is trans- ported to the romantic days of the past through the medium of the old diary which she finds on the eve of her intended wedding to Felix Bre- ton.” Felicite does not care for young Breton—he is her father's choice, and the heart of the little maid is break- ing for big Jack Desmond, whose en- gaging smile and care-free behavior have won her love, but incurred the wrath of her father. In support of Miss Clark, who plays Felicite in both parts. of the play,} there appear such well known players | as Thomas Holding, Vernon Steel, Clarence Handysides, W. A, Williams and Fayette Perry. No Feed for Game. Lord Davenport, the British food controller, in an interview at which he announced a number of new regu- lations, observed, with regard to the order prohibiting the feeding of game with grain required for food or stock- rearing: “Pheasant rearing and indul- gences of that kind, which were all right in happier days, are indulgences we do not wish to see continued, and. this is our method of bringing them to an end. I do not suggést that there ts much of this going on, We mean to be on the right side. The broods will keep themselves alive in the woods, if a man allows them to go in the woods. I do not say we are giving the farmer liberty to shoot them, but that is what we mean in so many words. We mean the order to be observed, and ff there are any abuses proceed- ing from it we shall take further and stronger measures to put it in force.” Mildly Censuring Him. “My goodness!” she says, with a pretty scowl, “I think .a’-girl would feel dreadfully foolish if she proposed to a man.” “I should think so, too,” replies the diffident youth, “But, then, I suppose there are some girls who are just simply compelled to do the proposing,” she sighs. After an hour's consideration of that remark he realizes what she really fmeans.—Woman’s World. The Only Ghance. Mrs. Johnson—“How does yo’ feel dis mawnin’, Joe?” Mr. Johnson—"I feels bad—mighty bad!» I wish dat Providence would have mussy o6 me an’ take me.” Mrs. Johnson—‘How can you expec’ it to ef you won't take de doctor's medicine?”—Puck, Words of Inspiration.

One Exception. “While the farmers are deploring the shortage of help we have a vast army of able-bodied men performing useless tasks,” stated Professor Pate. “Take the solicitors who come to our doors with labor-saving utensils that abso- lutely’ must be in every household in the land, who take our cherished tin- types and return enlarged crayon copies of the same that look like no- body on earth or in the waters under the earth,’and so forth. If such futile | trades were abolished these industrial | slackers might be persuaded to help feed the nation in this crisis, I have purposely refrained from including in nate literary works to the few people ficient culture to appreciate them. In order to remain normal and kee} well we are obliged to have somebody to hate, and. for that purpose the book pal be given by them to the Red Cross society, agent is ideal.”—Kansas City Star. - aes ~ Seis | Gwalior, Capital of Native Indian {looms out of the flat plain. The sides CITY JS‘ HIGH IN THE AIR State, Built on Top of Rock 300 Feet In Height. South Of Agra in the hot half-desert country of central India a great rock of the butte, as 1t would be calle the Rocky Mountain country, fise sheer for about 300 feet, and the area of its surface is large enough to sup- port a city.. Itds‘about two miles long by a quarter -of*a mile in breadth. This is Gwalior,.the capital of a.na- tive Indian state-under British domin- ation, and once one of the strongest military positions in India. Two other cities are instantly called to mind by the sight of Gwalior—one, the neighbor city of Chitor, perched on its rock to the southwest, the other the Fueblo Indian yillage of Acoma, just half way around ‘the world in the New Mexico desert. All three of them were picked for their military value, and all three have outlived thelr use- fulness, A narrow winding road cut out of the rock leads’from the plain to the; citadel above, At the top of the road | is the beautiful painted palace, its ex- terior tiled over with ornamented, high- ly glazed tiles of a workmanship whose secret has been lost. Color and design are each perfect after their fashion, making the palace one of the sights of India, Inside, alas, it is not a sight but:@-emell. The bats, the multitudinous Indian bats, have taken possession; they swarm here as in no other place for; hundreds of miles around, and n@ creature with a nose can remain to admire the interior of the painted palace. SEA WATER FOUND IN LAYERS Lower Strata Contain Less Dissolved Oxygen and This Has Influence on Fish Life. Land animals breathe in oxygen with the air, Fish get it, but less of it, of course, dissolved in water. Messrs. J. W. Sale and W. W. Skinner re- ported in a paper presented at a meet- ing of the American Chemical society that the lower layers of certain tidal waters contained less dissolved oxygen than the upper layers, They show this to be due to the greater specific gravity of the under layers compared: to those above them, In other words, the water is found in strata, according to its weight, and this prevents an up-and-down circula- tion. When we recognize that the oxygen is also depleted by other agencies there is sometimes found to be very little’of it in-the lower layers. The depletion is greatest in Septem- ber. Tidal waves and storms bring precipitates which with the depletion of oxygen have a great influence on fish life, Substitute for Olive Oil. The production of sim-sim of sem- sem (Sesamum indicum) seed {s an Important agricultural endeavor on the East coast and in the interior lake districts of Africa, The total exporta- tion of this product from the protec- torates of British’ East Africa aad Uganda during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1915, (the last available de- tailed statistics), amounted to 3,134,320 pounds, valued at $102,824, of which amount about 20 per cent was pro- duced in Uganda and the remainder on the coastal plain of British East Africa, In that year 28 per cent of these ex- ports went to India, 22 per cent to Aden, 18 per cent to Italy, 15 per cent to Italian Somaliland, and most of the balance to Zanzibar and France. In former years'Germany was the largest purchaser of this product, which is a substitute for olive oil. These figures, it should be understood, do not repre- sent the total production of sim-sim within the territory mentioned inas- much as a very large amount is con- sumed locally, Something in the Way. “What.are you going to do?” asked the sweet young thing. “T’m going to kiss you,” said the man, “But don’t you see I have a chap- eron with me?” “Yes, but she’s deaf, isn’t she?” “But she’s not blind, and, besides, she has a very jealous nature.” See : Farmer Stew.
