Tho Bnttlo of Atlmra Tho battle of tho Atbnra Is his tory. With Egyptian cavalry on tho extromo left, the English next di rectly facing tho center of tho camp, and the centor nnd right of tho line coming on tho enmp from its loft pouring In n destruction enfilading nro tno nuvnnco begun, tno wearied troops responding to tho call of tho Cnmoron's pipes like magic. A hedgo of camol thorn barred them for nn Instant, the next It was loft behind nnd they woro over and In tho camp.

And If there wero no such thing ns woundit or bullets thoy swept through tho fire, wero Joined with n crashing volloy by n half brigade tho Sirdar had sent to the left, and then together thoy crashed down over and through all opposition, shovoled tho onemy Into the rlvor nnd shot them down. Osmnn Dlgna nnd tho cavalry got away, but Man mud wan captured, tho host shatter ed, two thousand, dead wbro loft In tho Zariba nnd another thousand scattorod about, and nearly all the Emirs killed or captured. Tho summer soason followed, with Inactivity as to operations, but with tho most careful preparations for tho fall campaign against tho Khalifa and the main body of tho Sudanese fighting men which had occupied Omdurmnn and hounded Gordon to loath whllo Inactivity kopt from til 111 English support that would hnvo relieved Khartum nnd snved him. Kitchener wns told ho novor would ?ot bonts through tho rapids, when tho campaign h'egan In tho torrid end of August. Ho smiled. Threo days Inter tho bonts woro through nnd tho ascent of the Nllo by ships and the transport of men nnd cninol trains along tho banks wont on.

At halt pnst six a Drltlsh gun opened flro and as if In answer n swirl of whlto linen clnn figures rushed for ward. Tho End of .Mnlidlsm Thoy wore mot. by a pitiful storm of death that nover slackened. For wero not tho nrltlsh fighting against tho slayers of Gordon in sight of tho nccursod city of Khartum where ho mot hln fntoj Whlto troops would novor havo stood It, but tho Arabs emtio 011, lino after lino wero slaughtered In their turn. Now rifles had to bo brought from tho rosorvo for these In action boenmo too' hot to lino ; It was not a hattlo but an execution. Tho Arabs would not bo donled, but thoy could not llvo to reach the English lines. An hour and a half the slaughter continued, nnd then with tho cessa tion of attack tho English advanced on tho Khalifa's camp. For two hours thoy drovo him steadily back. At 10:00 they had driven him to tho last stand and spread out so that the whole English fighting force was arranged after Kitchener's plan. Tho Khalifa galloped to Omdurmnn, tho loaders down to the. Inst dervish were slain, tho Egyptian cavalry dashed over tho field and struck down the last two defiant support ors "Under the black flag. It was tho last day of Mahdlsm, and the slaughter was complete. Less than two hundred Drltlsh were killed and wounded, and less than three hundred Egyptians. The Muhdi's forces lost more than 11,000 killed, 16,000 wounded and 4000 prisoners out of less than CO.000. And so Kitchener entered Khar turn.

Making a total food allowance of nearly threo pounds a day. As extras, tho private soldier re ceives from tlmo to time, supplies of fresh vegetables, such as potatoos, carrots and cabbago and occasionally wine. Tho supply of extras Is uncer tain, dopendlng wholly on the ability of the commissary department to pur chaso micli supplies on tho march. Every soldier In tho field carries In his knnpsack ono day's rations for emergency uso.' Theso rations consist of ton ounces of army biscuit, ten ounces canned meat, ono ounco con densed soup, two ounces coffee nnd threo ounces of sugar.

Tlio Standard snys that tho Germans aro making n desporate attempt to doprlvo tho United Kingdom of provisions sup plied by tho Scandinavian countries.

To nld this at tack tho Gorman government has re moved tho Import duty on provisions. English mcrchanjs aro concerned lest the Danish morchants, influenced by Gorman high prices, should divert much of their trade to Germany.

As all the potash and Iron Baits used In tho process of blue printing comes from qermany and as fresh supplies are not Hkoly to reach the United States until the war Is over, the manufacture of blue print paper will bo seriously interfered with and may eventually be stopped. Philadelphia is the center for the manufacture of blue print paper in this country. "While most hf the makers have fairly large stocks of the necessary chemicals, much con cern Is being felt over the future. If a shutdown of the factories comes every railroad machine shop, engin eer and architect will be seriously inconvenienced by the shortage of blue print paper. LONDON (by mall). flen.

At tho present tlmo tho French and Gorman frot, tiers aro too strongly fortified fort' either people to force its way through. I have llttlo doubt as to tho result of this war. Franco will boat Germany on land nnd England will crush Gormnny nt sea. "This will bo tho last great war In Europo for many years, perhaps for evor. The Gorman states will emerge tr-m .la wnr nn nvhaustod and SO terrified that they will havo no other object than to form somo sort of con dition that thoy may in tho future obviate tho recurrence of any such catastrophe." Prayers have been offered in some churches specifically asking that the prediction of tho Jupaneso strategist bo realized. COULDN'T RKOALL TI113 BWISS RULKR'S NAMTC K EQUIPPED WITH WIIinLE8-S.

There is one highly 'civilized coun try In which not one person in four could give their ruler's name. That country Is Switzerland. Swit zerland has Just had a new president, but his appointment has passed prac tically unnoticed, even In Switzerland N80,t' .... , One reason why the president is al most unknown either by name or by sight Is that ho Is not a public figure at all. He has no privileges as presi dent and no official uniform not ev en of tho army. Switzerland has a fresh president every year. He has no personal au thority as president, and Is practical ly only the speaker of Switzerland's unassuming little parliament. It is recorded that at a meeting of Swiss business men no one could re call the name of the president. The waiter was asked. He happened to know because the president was his uncle. Ills name is Arthur Hoffman. Exchange. OIIATERMAS STUDIO QUALITY PHOTOS J Inter-Ocean Transportation Co. JEfemi-weqkly service, Coos Bay ',an,d . San Prancisoo. 35r - 't &? i S. S.
