Jack London was the real red- blooded. type of American manhood. He was typical of the one who by sheer force of personality and Inher- ent ability can fight his way to the top or his adopted calling. Yet a young man, London was no doubt at the head of American men of letters, and his writings are of a class that will survive. : ' : London first became of prominence as an author when he gave the "Call of the Wild to the people, though fame was not spontaneous even with so sifted a writer. He had made many efforts for recognition before he at last succeeded, though when he was accepted he held his place and fortune was fast coming to him when death closed his too brief career. London's secretary estimates thai the writer was obtaining an income of about $73,000 per year from his wrttinss at the present time. He habitually wrote 1,000 words per day. And publishers were known to pay at the rate of 20 cents per word for ills -work. His secretary says that London leaves two full novels that have not yet tbeen published, besides two short dog stories "and a number of Hawaiian stories. Arrangements for the publication of these had been v made. At the time of his death Lon don was working on a novel dealing with Hawaiian life, the title or this being "Cherry." It is said that either Mrs. London will complete this novel or that some other waiter will be em ployed to finish It. The novelist's fiveryear contract with eastern publishers would have expired next year. Recently a repre sentative of an eastern company wa at Glen Ellyn to induce London to renew his contract, and London had purchased railroad tickets and ar ranged to leave San Francisco next Wednesday for New York to discuss the matter of a contract. He expect ed to return to Glen Ellyn in Kebru ary. when he hoped to be able to visit either Japan or Norway he was undecided which. Jack London was a true son of the open air. Of adventurous spirit, he sought theme ror story and rood ror ambition In the out-of-doors. He was widely traveled, especially In the west and over the waters of the western seas. His death removes a man who typified the west as no other writer has typified It. Krom the.east there conies the dire prediction that leather shoes have not yet commenced to reach the limit of price, and that before dm end from $20 to $30 per pair will not be an uncommon value. This statement Is made upon the authority of lead ing manufacturers and retailers of irreater Boston. These people say that the shoe with filch leather top will soon disappear and cloth tops will come Into gpneral use. The local Salvation army Is making an appeal for aid in preparing for its usual holiday season distribution among the deserving needy of the dis trict. The people of the Army are doing a wonderful work for humanity all over the world, and nowhere Is their Influence for good more noticed than right at home. The Salvationists are believers In the value of home missionary service, and their unos tentatious giving brings cheer and comfort to many a household.

Is almost ap palling at least to the devotees of the older forms of theatrical enter tainment. Where now are the Uttle groups of aotors, the pinchbeck scenery and the petty properties of the so-called "legitimate" drama? By comparison with the new art, the "legitimate" measures to the moun tain like a mole hill. Instead of scen ery for his background. Griffith has used nature. For subject he has covered 150 years of American life and history. Eighteen thousand people have done his bidding, and in the hair-raising rides of the Kn Klux Klaa 3,000 riders and horses sweep over the dusty roads. The great deeds of the Civil war and the horrors of reconstruction are made to live again, and the nation re born Is apothesixed. Mr. Griffith, pioneer among directors, managed this stupendous achievement without the aid of dialogue or speech, for motion pictures with music and effects tell vividly this thrilling rate of fifty years ago. JACK LONDON (Continued from Page t) Call of the Wild." and Jack London leaped Into literary fame at a bound. He had found himself, and from that time forward he advanced rapidly He wrote prollfically. having made it ;a habit for years to do 1,000 words a day no more, no less. Several years ago London became a "gentleman farmer." He pur chased a large estate at Glen Ellyn and there presided over the wonder ful ranch. He termed the valley In which be was located "The Valley of the Moon." Recently he spent a considerable time In Hawaii, where he meant to live part of each year and write, but death Interfered with his plans. London was married twice. His first wife, who was the mother of his two daughters, Bess and Joan, was divorced 10 : years ago. She was greatly shocked today when Inform ed of her former husband's death. Several years ago London married again, his wife being the "Charmion" of his books. FRENCH LIEl'TENANT BRINGS DOWN HIS TWENTY-SFXXND Parte, Nov. 23. Lieut. Oulnemere brought down his twenty-second Ger man aeroplane in an aerial action re ported In today's official statement. The night was calm along the entire front, the statement said. SSS Nov. 26 CAMELS, HORSES THE London, Nov. 33. Bucharest hat not spoken since Sunday concerning the German claims of entire success or the Teuton, enveloping movement la Wallachla. This silence created considerable uneasiness here today as to what had become of the Rou manian army which German state ments the only ones obtainable so far have asserted Is penned up In that section at Roumanla south of the Danube from the line across be tween Orsova and Craiova. Military experts pointed out today that the logical section from which troops would be drawn la reinforc ing the German-Bulgars near Mona stir would be ' from Oeneral von Falkenhaya'a forces, responsible for the sweep Into Roumanla. For this reason they were gratified with the continued northward progress re ported achieved by General Sarrails' allied forces, now operating out of the newly captured Monastir. Berlin statements have acknowl edged reinforcement of the army op posing Sarrails' advance. But If the Serblaa-French-Russlan-Itallan drive continues with as much success, ex perts here look for further'end great er withdrawals of German troops, di verted to the German-Bulgarian troops' aid, probably from von Fal- kenbayn's forces. Any considerable diversion of his forces would certain ly weaken his offensive, possibly la sufficient measure to permit of a suc cessful stand by the Roumanians and scape from the Jaws of the Oermari vise. The Serbs have now reached a point 25 miles east of iMonsstlr. RIO HERDS OF DEER SEEN IN Cl'RRY COUNTY Port Orford, Ore., Nov. S3. De puty Game Warden Roy Dixon wss np from, his home on Pistol river getting acquainted with the people of this end of the county aad looking over the game situation. Mr. Dixon was lately appointed to Oil the place formerly held by John Adams. Mr. Adams has not severed his connection entirely with the game department, but still acts In an advisory capacity and will work oa special cases. In speaking of the scarcity of deer on some of the huntlng grounds this summer. Mr. Dixon ssld that he did not attribute It to the fact that many of them had been killed by the snow last winter, but rather that they had changed their feeding grounds. In support of this theory, he said that In some parts of the county deer had been unusually plen tiful. At High prairie, near the head of Cheteo river, Mr. Dixon says that on more than one occasion this spring he saw from 100 to 250 deer on the prairie at one time. He says that Will Lake, of Harbor, has a picture taken there that shows 118 deer. ,' : , Job work st the Courier. MARLEY Ui IN. DEVON IH IN.
