"You spoke of Colonel Sobleskt
In your letter. He is quite feeble
in bis limbs; I mean it is diffi
cult for him to walk very far, but
he told me just last week that
his stomach bad been better now
than it had been for 30 years:
that is. be could eat things that!
he would not have thought of
touching before. Mrs. Sobieskl
has not been out of the house for
several months; she is very ill
leakage of the heart. I believe..
You know she has been strong all
her life, and well, until just the
last few months."
They Were In Salem
Colonel and Mrs. Sobieskl were
In Salem many times, in the days
of the prohibition fights. He spent
a month or more in Oregon with
Salem as bis headquarters in

descendant of John III (Sobieskl)
king of Poland, whose great ca
reer is known to all readers of
history.
After his armies had defeated
the Turks, he was chosen king ot
Poland by the people in May.
1674, when he was" 50 years of
ere. In 1683 the Turks beseirea
Vienna with an army of 300.000.
The Austrian emporer had fled.
and not only Austria was on the
verge ot ruin, but all Europe was
in danger. With a Polish army
of scarcely 50.000 men. Sobieskl
attacked the Turks, defeated
them in a fierce tattle on Septera
ber 12, 1683. and pursued them
into Hungary. King Sobieskl died
June 17. 1696.
Descendant Yankee Soldier
Colonel Sobieskl served through
the war of the rebellion with the
United States forces, and earned
his promotion and title in active
service.
Soon after peace had come, he
took up work with the forces bat

President Wilson instructed the
navy department to prevent ths
landing the the eable here, and
at the time the British cable ship

work on laying the cable four de
stroyers were sent to Miami to
prevent the wire from being
brought ashore.
The Colonla tied an end of the
cable to a buoy on Miami Beach.

proceeded with the cable laying
operations between that point and
Barbadoes. Two destroyers ac
companied the Colonla on this
trip but did not prerent the lay

Last week In the New York fed
eral court the Injunction against
the Western Union Telegraph com
pany preventing the landing of
the cable was set aside, and the
telegraph company secured a
court order restraining the- gov
ernment from Interfering.
Local naval authorities have
never had their previous orders
to prevent the landing of the ca
ble revoked, and It Is said 'to
day's action was In accordance
with orders Issued by Secretary
Daniels last summer.
Over a year ago the Western
Union applied to President for a
permit to land the cable at Mi
ami, under the federal; law re
quiring a presidential permit for
the landing of foreign cables In
the United States, and this was
never Issued, althourh nb reason
for the holding np of the permit
was given. The telegraph com
pany prepared to bring the cable
to Mlamt without the presiden
tial permission, and the effort
was stopped by the government.
It is said that the government
is opposed to the Miami-Uarba

cable would be British owned and
that the company has a monopoly
in cable communications to Bra

by the Western Union, which his
given assurances that the cable
is American-owned and has sub-

show It was not monopolistic.

satisfaction was expressed with
Mr. Hardlng'a declarations regret
was felt that there was nothing to

Officials professed to find sup

not be called on to participate In

Frankness and sincerity are
found by afternoon newspapers to
day in the address, although there
is a sense of disillusionment In
their comment. Particular sat
isfaction is found -in the .fact
that Germany as they view ILtwill
find no comfort In the speech.
The Temps emphasises the opti
