not he a bigger subscriber to the liber

Andrew Carnegie—than Eldred, for
Eldred has given all he'had.
Since a boy Eldred has been a prin

the entire sum was invested in the
liberty loan.

DAWSON. Y. T„ July 11— About
'200 men employed by the Yukon
Gold Company in connection with
dredging and hydraulic works near
Dawson have quit work. A majority
of that number have organized and
I ask an advance of a dollar a day in
' wages. Common labor now receives
j$4 a day and board and work ten
j hours. The men want a minimum
wage of $5 per day and board, say
ling that it is impossible to live the
lyear round on less in the face of the
| big jump in prices since the river op
jened. Last year’s prices prevailed in
ithe Dawson market until the opening
'of navigation. The advance when new
goods arrived, traders say, will aver
age 40 to 50 per cent. The men claim
that as the hydraulic dredges operate
'only half the year it is necessary to
jearn in that time enough to last them
| the yegr round.

The German ministry of finance pub

the war there would follow a British
peace and the destruction of our dear
fatherland. It would be ‘finis’ for Ger
mania. England is rightly called ‘the
destroyer of peoples.’ She will treat
