Warring Nations Have Many Colonies and Protectorates in Need of Care. GREAT BRITAIN IS LEADER Minor Holdings or Three Big Powers With Possessions to Defend Are Themselves Without Militari st rength List Is Long. Three out of the five great powers of Europe now at war have colonial possessions, protectorates and depend encies scattered all over the world. Austria-Hungary and Russia have no colonial possessions, though the Rus sian empire stretches through the con tinents of Europe and Asia, and pre sents a long coast line on the North ern Pacific. Of the others, Great Britain has colonies and protectorates the world over; France has colonies and protectorates in Africa, India, China, in South America, In the West Indies, In the North Atlantic and in the Pacific and Indian oceans; Germany has colonial possessions in Africa, in China and In the Pacific Ocean. Eftgland's vast empires, India, Canada and Australia; her holdings on the Malay Peninsula; her colonies in Africa and her fortified positions in the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and Malta, put her at the head of the colony-holding nations of the world.

In the Winnipeg compe tition last year Tillie Baldwin, who then held the woman's horseback championship, was tied by Miss McGlnnls. Because of taking part in a number of championship meets since then, In which Miss Baldwin failed to appear to defend her title, Miss McGlnnls claims the title. Miss McGlnnls carried away first honors against Borne of the best riders in the Bakersfleld, Stockton, Salinas and Klamath Falls meets this year.

It can hardly be 'said that this. Is un fair from a purely political standpoint, although from the point of race senti ment it is an outrage. It is the lot of a conquered nation, a nation -wjiich did not live through her growth. Any sovereign has a perfect right to demand that his subjects should go out and fight for him in time of war or In any other emergency. Thus, Russia can call upon her Polish subjects to shoot down their German relatives with a right a right which she makes use of without respect for race sentiment. Vice versa with Ger many.

But, behind gun, under Russian. German or Austrian flag, behind plow, scythe, or flail, the Poles are dream ers. They yield a nominal obedience to their Teutonic and Slavonic masters, but look forward and dream. Theirs Is a brilliant, shining dream, which they have dreamed through three or four generations; a dream of the time when they shall be free to unshackle themselves from the yoke of their powerful masters; when father, mother, son and daughter shall be free to stand together and look up to the same flag. And they believe that the time will come. The hope has sunk so deeply into their minds and hearts that it forms part and parcel of their dally thoughts. So firmly do they believe in it that all Polish parents deem it a duty to teach their children to use their native tongue. This is forbidden In the schools and in public, but it is done in the privacy of the home. Among the peasants there Is a firm but suppressed belief that somewhere In the vaults of some old monasteries are stowed away ammunitions to be used when the right time comes, and that there the souls of the dead patri otic soldiers hover in waiting for the victory for which they died. It la. certain that if Poland were In dependent she would be of. much more use to the world than she Is In her present condition.

Her people are both thrifty and Industri ous, and because of her geography and topography she would make one of the most substantial, progressive agricul tural states in Europe. Legend Predicts War. And now, to wind up with the ques tions we begin with. Time and devel opments can only answer them. There is a Polish legend, older than her dis memberment, which gives the follow ing prophecy: "In time to come there shall be a terrible war, which shall have been started by a small, insig nificant nation. All the powerful na tions shall become Involved and shall fight each other, until there shall be chaos. Then Poland shall glory." This last sentence has since been changed to, "And then Poland shall be free to glory." Now the question rises: With their country exposed to the ravages of two of the world's most powerful nations' war, in which they must advance upon their own brethren, can the Poles strike, and will they?

COUNTRY'S STAND UPHELD Austria Is Charged With Endeavor to Tyrannize Over All of Cen tral Europe and Help Given This Continent Is Cited. The local committee in charge of the Serbo-Slavonic Red Cross fund has is sued a circular in which an appeal Is made not only to all Slavonians, but to Americans, for help In the struggle against Austria. The circular, which 1b entitled, "An Appeal to True Ameri cans," is as follows: "There are about 3,000,000 Slavs, former subjects of Austria-Hungary, In the United States. They are all united in this grave hour, when the liberty and independence of a prominent Slav onio branch, the Servian nation, Is threateed. In vigorous protests against' the tyranny of the Austrian govern ment. "Many of us were forced to flee Aus trian tyranny, others were driven away by Industrial misery, caused by the rot tenness of the Hapsburg administra tion. We became peaceful citizens of this great, free country. But thou sands of our brothers were unable to flee Austria. They will be now obliged to fight, to mangle, to kill their beloved Servian brothers and sisters, for the heroic Servian women will die by the side of the Servian Junaks. "Servla is exhausted by the recent victorious war with Turks and by the second war with unhappy Bulgaria, driven to war by Austrian Intrigues. Though 'weakened, Servla is strong enough to die bravely for Its freedom and Independence. "Servla could not honorably tolerate the brutal insolence of Austria. She could not curtail the freedom of its citizens for the sake of the Austrian bureaucrats. Either she will be free or not live disgraced. "No one can blame the Austrian Slavs that they long to break the. op pressive yoke of Austria and desire a union with their brave Servian brothers. The cause for such a feeling is not in Belgrade's advances, but in Vienna's tyranny. "We Slavs living in the United States are united in expressing our sympathy with our Servian brothers. They fight not only for their own freedom, but for the freedom of the entire Central Europe, which Austria always strove to smother. "We Dledere our utmost support to our Slavic brothers and we appeal to the American public for help in their behalf. The Slavs shed their blood for American freedom In the great war of independence and we are sure that America cannot remain indifferent to our cause of freedom." BEAVER WUili IyOAD SALMON Vacation Period Sees All Ships Carrying- I.arRc Crowds. Alaska salmon, approximately 6000 cases of It, will go south on the steam er Beaver when she sails tomorrow, as the steamer J. B. Stetson, from Skagway and way ports, berths at Alnsworth dock tonight to begin dis charging, so the lot will be loaded on the Beaver In the morning. In addition, there Is a large ship ment of paper to go aboard and other freight that will give the liner a heavy load. The scramble for passenger ac commodations shows no abatement and disappointments are numerous among those seeking upper deck reservations who make tardy applications. All in dependent vessels bound south now have all berths taken, and, except for the movement of steerage travel, the heaviest business Is being done of the season. FOUR MAKINERS FOUND HERE dfricers Ready to Help Government Man Ships to Carry Goods. In response to a telegraphic request from the Department of Commerce re ceived Friday asking for the names and addresses of mariners holding deck or engine-room ocean licenses availa ble for service to Europe, Africa, South America and Australia, Collector of Customs Burke obtained four applica tions, which he forwarded to Wash ington last night. No information was telegraphed yes terday for the enlightenment of Port land officials as to the reason for the move", but press dispatches Indicate that the Government intends to man vessels so some of the commodities ac cumulating at American ports, because foreign bottoms cannot move, will be transported. TAGGED SALMON SOUGHT Fish Commission Will Pay $1 for Each One Caught in Colombia. OREiONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 8. Columbia River fish ermen who this season catch tagged salmon In that stream can earn a re ward of 11 for each tag turned In at the Clackamas fish hatchery. In 1911 the Government liberated several million tagged salmon at Clack amas, tags being attached to the backs of the fish for the purpose of Identi fication, it being desired to ascertain whether these fish, after development, will return to the stream in which they were bred. The Fish Commission today an nounced Its purpose to give 81 for each tag returned, but the tag must be at tached to a section of the back of the fish in order to Justify the reward. Not many returns are expected this year, but heavy returns are looked for next season. REF0RMINGMAN FAILURE Husband on Stockpile, Woman Avers in Divorce Suit. Minnie N.
