GERMANY DESTROYS
BELGIAN INDUSTRIES
HAVRE, Nov. 14.—The Belgian
government continues to receive de
tails of the Germans’ systematic de
struction of manufacturing plants in
Belgium. Organized wrecking crews
have been engaged in dismantling
blast furnaces. Seven out of eleven
| lolling mills at Cugree-Marihays have
been carried off. At Angleur every
thing has been removed, as well as
| at Grivegnee, whiere nothing remains
hut the steel works which the Ger
mans are working for their own needs.
(’has. G. Ganty, accompanied by
Mrs. Ganty and the children have left
Anchorage for the States. Mrs. Ganty
and the children will remain outside
during the winter, but Mr. Ganty
contemplates returning soon over the
trail to attend to business there.

A THROUGH TICKET
Via
Chicago, Milwauke & St, Paul Ry.
WHY
By buying a through ticket you save from $10.00 to
$15.00 as against buying to Seattle and re-buying
there.
By buying over the C. M. & St. P. Ry. you are as
sured the comfort that comes from riding behind an
electric locomotive—most powerful in all the
world— and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” service.

UNLUCKY “SECONDS."
Fat* Bear* Hard Upon Mb na re ha With
II. In Their Titles.
An tbe numewi* "il." unlucky when
they follow tbe name of a monarch? It
would seem so.
* Of the four living European rulers
aud ex-rulers so charudarlted two, the
Czar Nicholas II. of ltnssla and Sultan
Abdul Hamid 11. of Turkey, are de
posed and prisoners. The third, King
Manuel IL of Portugal, baa been de
p^ved of bis throne by bis people,
while the fourth, the Kaiser Wilhelm
II. of Germany, hammers than a gen
erous share of troubles of bla own.
History, too, curiously enough, tella
the same atory. Alexander II. of Rus
sia was Mown to bits by nUilliat bombs
In 1881. Louis II. of Bavaria was
drowned in 1886. Charles 11. of France
was strangled. Jamea II. of Scotland
was killed In battle. Napoleon II., hav
ing lost his throne, died In exile.
Among British monarch! Harold 11..
the last of tbe Saxon kings, fell at
Hastings- Edward 11. waa cruelly
murdered In priaou at the Instigation
of bis own wife, and a similar fate like
wise overtook Richard 11. William 11
wus murdered. James 11. lost his king,
dom and bis crown at tbe buttle of tb*
Boyne.. Hla brother, Charles II., killed
himself by his debaucheries.
The above are but sample instances,
culled at haphasard from history. There
are mauy others.—London Telegraph.
THE LOST TRIBES.
A My at ary of tha Habra w Paopla That
Haa Daiiad Solution.
The “lost tribes' —or at least part of
them—remain a mystery to this duy.
A portion of the Hebrew people-the
tribes of Judah uud Benjamin—return
ed from exile and became the ances
tors of the Jewish people. The story
01 their return is recorded In the hooks
of Kzra aud Nehemlata.
Others, probably some of them be
longing to the missing tribes of the
northern kingdom, are believed to have
returned from still remoter lauds and
mixed with the Jews in i-alestine
again (see Luke li, 30). while a few at
least probably ming'ed with the mixed
populatlou wit It which the klug of As
syria colonized Samaria and who be
came the ancestors of tlie Samaritans
Many, however, remained in the Assy
rian empire aud lived in colonies
throughout the east.
Various writers Itave claimed that
traces of them had beet* found among
the Afghans and also among the Tar
tars, the Nestoriaus and In India aud
Africa, hut these are rather specula
tivc Ideas than substantial evidence
Josephus, the Jewish historian, wrote
that the habitable glolie was so full of
Jews that there was scarcely a corner
of the great Reman world empire
where they might not be found.

Th* English Soldier's Can*.
It -is one of tbe regulations of tbe
British army that every soldier when
walking out must carry hi his band a
stick In order to preserve a soldierly
appearance and prevent anything like
sloucbiug In Ills gait. This rule applies
to ail ranks, and should any one seek
to evade it be would find bia progress
barred by the sentry at tbe barrack
gate or entrance to camp. Privates gen
erally carry light canes of “swagger
sticks." noncommissioned officers fair
ly stout sticks, and officers Invariably
go In for the more expensive kind. It
is a question tluit lias often been
asked. Who first suggested tbe idea i
Hut nobody seems to know From tbe
earliest times drill sergeants and drum
majors have carried sticks, and tbe
fashion may have come from that fact

GOVERNMENT BEING
BLOCKED BY ENEMIES
WASHINGTON. D. £., Nov. 14.—
Convinced that pro-German agencies
are at work to hinder the aircraft
production program officials believe a
drastic c%n.paig.i against agitators
may be necessary, reaching to the
spruce forests of the Northwest,
where the wood for airplanes is be
ing cut.
Numerous cases of sabotage have
been reported from mills that are cut
ting the airplane wood. Labor distur
bances fomented by the I. W. W. have
also been hampering the government
in building air fleets. The menace
takes the form of accidents to mill
machinery, fires in important lum
ber yards, boiler explosions and oth
er happenings that might be due to
chance or to carelessness. The regn
larity with which they have occurred
however, convinces officials here that
a denite sabotage campaign has been
organized by hidden enemies which
must be stamped out.
