T Europe. HE STAR is convinced that Seattle newspaper readers have lost interest, to a great extent, in the routine movements of the armies in The average man, lately, doesn’t care much about how the right wing of the allies is coming along with its enveloping movements against the Germans, or whether General de Kackeyac intends to make another sortie. What he wants to know is THE RE- SULT---how the big battles come out---and some actual. glimpses, through his newspaper, of the human side of the fighting. Right there, Reader, is where The Star, which is not depending upon its regular telegraphic service to “cover” the war, as are other Seattle papers, outdistances its competitors Mary Boyle O'Reilly is in France, and Harry Burton is in England Read the other special war articles. If your friends or neighbors aren't getting it, tell them about what we're doing war zone, “Bill” Shepherd and H. J. Phillips are in Belgium. 10 today, about how England is whipping into shape a trained army of half a million m about THE INSIDE OF THIS GREAT WAR can afford to be without The Star have the paper delivered at their homes.

The lie was, of course, apparent on its face, for if Mills was anything but a genuine progressive, the standpat organ would not be opposed to him. HOWEVER, HERE IS PROOF POSITIVE OF THE LIE in Congressman Fal- coner’s telegram, from which it is plainly seen that neither ee cots nor Frear uttered one unfavorable word against It is a peculiar thing that these standpat organs are now making all sorts of progressive claims for the reac- tionary judges and all sorts of standpat charges against the real progressive candidates.

He appeared Thureday night In Kinnear park, held up two couples, robbed the men, and attempted to attack the women. But both fought and escaped, and the thug fied before Motor- cycle Officers Fuller and Stan- ley arrived. The first intimation of trouble | was when a disheveled man dashed | up to the Chelsea hotel, just across | from the park, and asked one of the | dwellers for a gun. “My wife has been stolen from | me,” he said wildly. | With reinforcements he re-enter- |ed the park, after summoning the police, and a search was begun. The woman, having escaped her | captor, came running down one of the paths. R. Breyman, 1638 2ist av., an- other victim was found by the searchers at the lower end of the park, He said the bandit had not only stolen his companion, Miss Grace Helliker, 408 First av. N., but also his overcoat, watch and 95 cents. Then the holdup had ordered him not to move on pain of death, and had dragged the young woman | away, warning her to be silent. Soon after, Miss Helliker, hystert- cal with fright, turned up with the information that she had fought off her assailant and escaped. Because of the darkness no de- scription of the bandit was ob- tained.
