Preparing for War
Eleven years ago last Wednesday, Austria declared war on
Serbia and a young officer sent the first shell shrieking into
Belgrade and the most terrible war in history was launched.
Yet seven years after the "war to end war" is over, there
are more men prepared and preparing for war than in 1914,
and this despite the lesson of the conflict, that another world
war means annihilation of peoples through aircraft, and
chemicals.
Official figures compiled by the League of Nations show
there are 6,055,144 men in the standing armies of 59 nations
and most of the nations are again engaged in the competitive
race of armaments that was one of the main causes of the
great war only the supremacy sought is that of the air as
the nations prepare for "the next war."
Britain has an air budget of ?77,565,000 to contest with
l' ranee domination or the air. luissia is maintaining a
greater army than in the days of the czar and purchasing
'military air planes from Holland. Japan is constructing 22
new warships and building a huge aerial fleet. Germany is
constructing the frame-work of a new army by training her
police force as officers. Italy has a naval budget of one
billion lire. Poland, Jugo-Slavia and other lands have large
armies and are building up air power.
The British naval program calls for 16 ,cruisers in five
years, a destroyer and six submarines annually and the fleet
of 101 ships is to cruise in the Baltic this summer, which has
led Russia to stage a demonstration of her own fleet. France
is establishing an air base at Cherbourg, which is viewed
with alarm by England. Even peaceful America is making a
demonstration of naval power in the antipodes and orient.
Small wonder British Foreign Secretary Chamberlain was
"led to remark :
Fear broods over Europe. Unless wo can alter the outlook, relieve
these fears und give security in the' International sphtu'c It Is brought
homo to mo every day that I pass at my work that Europe is moving
uneasily, slowly, It may be, but certuiuly to a new catastrophe.

No I drew In his breath sharply,
and turning away, etared out of
uie window. He had never been
more tempted In his lite. Here
was the girl whom he loved, feel
ing that her marriage had been a
mtotako. Ho knew that she liked
him far hotter than she had before
they were marooned In the woods
during the Wizard. He could tako
her away from her husband now,
If he handled the situation as ho
could so easily handle it.
With her his own life would be
worth living; without her, It was
an empty, useless thing.
For a moment longer he heal

glanced at hia watch and turned
again to her.
'Don't think that; Just hang on
a little longer, and you'll find that
everything will bo all right," he
told her, and If his voice sounded
strained and harsh alio did not
notice it. But when he had gone
Cynthia buried her face In the lacy
pillows and cried bitterly.
Changing Place Names
The Clark County Sun, published at Vancouver, Washing
ton, is sponsoring a campaign to get rid of the British tory
place names that adon. the map of the northwest bestowed
by Captain Vancouver of the British navy, and would re
christen Mounts St. Helens, Ranier, Hood, etc., as well as the
city of Vancouver, to which it would restore the name under
which the town was originally platted in 1855, Columbia.
The Sun points out that Gray discovered the Columbia and
that none of the English friends of Vancouver, that h
honored, did ought to deserve the distinction. In fact, none
of them ever saw the country whose mountains perpetuate
their name, and the fame of some of them, like Admiral
Ranier, rests in his destruction of American ships and in the
slaughter of American citizens.
The Sun has underlaken quite a contract, but if it would
confine itself to re-naming Vancouver as Columbia, it will
render its community a service and success may crown it
efforts, for at present the city is confused in public luind
with its British Columbian namesake and loses its identity.
and individuality.

Seeks Lotta's Millions
But Branded as Fraud
By Judge In Boston
Boaton, Mass., Aug. 1 (AP)
Though branded as a "brazen ad
venturess," Mrs. Ida M. Ulanken-
burg of Tulsa, declared today that
she will carry her fight to the high
est court in the land to prove that
she is the daughter of Lotta Crab-
tree and la entitled to share in the
actress' $3,000,000 estate. After
Judge Prest denounced Mrs. Blank
en burg as a perjurer In Suffolk pro
bate court he cited her and her
brother, John Crabtree to appear
to answer contempt charges next
Tuesday, Immediately all of Mrs.
Ulankenburg's attorneys withdrew
from the cose.
"I am the daughter of Lotta
Crabtree." the woman said. "If
they want to put me In Jail simply
because I have refused to deny my
own mother, very well, but in the
end, right will prevail.
Uefore citing Mrs. Blankenburg
and her brother In contempt,
Judge Prest aaid:
"The case of Ida May Blanken
burg is pock-marked with fraud,
There is no mistaking It. Tho spot
of fraud are as thick and as plainly
visible as the spots on the flyleaf
of the bible on which a fradulcnt
entry recently written of Lotta's
marriage and the claimant's birth.
"This claimant swears that she
mado extended trips with Lotta
yet she could not even identify
Lotta's lifelike photograph. This
woman swears that Lotta sang to
her a lullaby and read to her bed
time stories.
But in my opinion she never
saw Lotta face to face, and since
Lotta's death she has heard stor
ies that have made her and her
agents lust for money stories that
so influenced her as to deny her
parents in order that she might rob
disabled veterans of the world war
of the benefits of the trust fund
in this estate.
"I justify these words that flay,
on the ground that Ida May Blank
enburg and her agents have cor
rupted, I believe, somo of the wit
nesses and that she and her broth
er, John W. Crabtreo have sworn
falsely."

"My dear, it's the most thrilling

Cynthln. Bhe would have been

"Well, a lame Hhoulder and a
