AR TR GERMAN BOY IS CHASED - UP A TREE BY BLACK BEAR Young Emigrant Meets With Thrilling Adventure While Strolling in : ‘Washington Woods. TACOMA, May 30.—August Ricey, 16 years of age, who arrived Saturday from Germany to live with his uncle on a farm near Puyallup, went for a short walk Sunday morning. He became lost in the woods and was chased up a tree by a black bear and kept a prisoner un- til last night, when a rescuing party of thirty men found him. The boy wa sungry, cold and badly scared. Senor Diego Mendoza, the Colombian Minister, was a guest, and said that he could assure America that Colombia would give its entire support to the prospects for peace and justice. The same spirit prevails in the other south- ern republics, he sald. Congressman Slayden said that his- tory did not justify the popular belief that the Americans were a peace-loving people. He added: | “Americans will fight at the drop of a hat, and I am glad ef it, but we must not let the hat be dropped. If they are Guick to fight, they are also willing to faithfully keep their promises. They will abide by their contracts. We have in the United States the ‘bitterest po- litical fights known to history, each side afirming and believing that if the other wins the country will go to the devil. Yet when the issue has been determined in the regular and legal way the losing side gracefully—even Bayly—submits. It will be so in inter- national matters, and we who take an active part in the work of the interpar- liamentary union should try to have these treaties made while there is no threat from any source on earth. “We appear to have been commis- sioned by Providence to promote this Work: What we want to do and what should be done to maintain the Degce of the world is plain enough.
