(Ry the Asso ciated Ptphs) A remarkable tribute is paid by the British press to the late I Viscount Nortlicllffo. this ' morning, columns and in some instances even pages being dovoted to. editorials, photographs' and special articles on the achievements and personality of ! the. master journalist vhosec;ureQr ended at the height of his power Naturally tho Northclifi'e publica tions make the greatest effort to eulo gize "the chief," and the Times de votes . four pages vilh- upturned column rules as a mark o mourning'', In l.fmrtvitililffir ulfoti-)if find men- ! sages of regret from journalists, statesmen and the diplomats in all parts of the world. - j Tributes from America, including President Harding's, mesnag'e of con- dolence to Lady Northcllffe, are dis played prominently. George Harvey, I the American ambassador, sent a j message from Scotland, but,' King George who is there ulso, is not rep resented among the published tele grams of the empire's prominent -personages. Tho press generally 'terms Lord Northcllffe the greatest British jour nalist of all times. His spirited Fleet street competitors, yet intimate 'per- sonai irienas, xora ijurnniim unu Lord Benverbrook, the proprietors of the Daily . Telegraph and Daily Ex press are unstinted in their praise of Northcllffe's Journalism. Those editorial writers who are unwilling to accord Northcllffe the highest pinnacle of journalism, pay tribute to h,is charm as a man, and include a respectful word regarding his devotion to his mother, one of the abiding traits of. his personality. HI" Shipments nt Yakima. YAKIMA, Wash., Ag. 12.

In spite of tho strike, there was no delay in car movements, they said. With Medfnrd trmTe'rw Med ford made LONDON, Aug. So many of King Cio.ge's speeches are written for him by his ministers, as all the world knows, that he never gets credit for the good speeches he thinks up him self. People always say: "The speech was all right, but someone else wrote it for him." V - ': .This. Is.juot always true, j Jn -every thing that relates to a i fairs of state,, ho. speaks only through the mouths of his responsible, ministers, and the "speech from the throne," delivered when parliament shuts down,- is far from a thrilling production. And it is not his. But King George made a really good address the other day in London at the opening of the London county council: He dwelt upon the- wisdom of the men of pafet ages in erecting fine buildings In their cities, and drew a picture of the necessity of the vest ed authority being adequately housed, an authority meanly housed would be meanly esteemed. It would be difflr cult to emphasize too ''strongly the importance of efficient local govern ment to the general well-being of the country, the king said, and the hand some edifice pf the London county council should stimulatethe develop ment of that Jaense of citizenship so difficult and yet so Imperative to cul tivate.' 1 . :-' . 'His majesty " undoubtedly -wrote this speech himself, and it has been most favorably commented upon: nevertheless he is getting little credit for it. The world thinsk it is the product of some minister whose mouthpiece was King George.

District Agent Thomas Meighan In George , Ade's first original story for the screen, "Our Leading Citizen," is at the Page thea ter this week beginning today, and should keep that extremely popular house even more crowded than usual for It is delightful entertainment. Ade's humor ripples through the sub titles and his skill at character anting makes the people of the simple story seem real and very human. I -"Our Leading Citizen" deals with Dan Bentley, a well educated young lawyer who prefers fishing to work in the courts and neglects his business until he Is "waked up by a pretty girl, well played by Lois Wilson, who Is quite charming enough to wake up any man. She fires liim with ambition and he goes into politics, putting the old war horses to rout and winning after a hard fought battle. Meighan played in one of Ade's first comedies "The College Widow," In which also Larry Wheat, who Is in "Our Leading Citizen" had a big part. Meighan played the Voung college hero. n the cast besides those mentioned are Lois Wilson and Theodore Roberts. LONDON. Aug. A biff femule Indian elephant tliat. wont cm strike at the Zoo last spriuff and refused to do what .nil bis elephants at the Zoo arfi required to do earn money hy carrying children around on her back has been cured of the sulks and laziness by the seeming magic treat ment uf an Indian mahout. She was presented to the zoo by the .Maharajah ot CooMi Itehar two years ago. She had been well train ed and acted at all times like a sen sible, well-behaved elephant and ooeyed orders properly. Sht de veloped no vices beyond that oi pick ing pockets for edible dainties. Hut every elephant that lias any sense at all learns to do that in the zoo. Then she took It Into her big head that she would not submit to being bossed any longer. Shu declined to stand between tho ifew riding steps that had been fixed up for ttie con venience of juvenile elephant riders. When the old wooden steps were sub-' stituted for the new ones she proved equally obdurate. In the end she de clined to leave tho elephant yard at all. As the elephant Is a fine animal, and quite good tempered, it was de cided to obtain a mahout from India. He was cabled for, and arrived in due course. He was taken to the elephant house. Ho at once entered the enclos ure and formally saluted the animal, standing first at her head and th.en at her tail. Next he took off his shoes, and knotted a rope loosely round the elephant's nerk, which he afterward used as a kind of stirrup. With little difficulty he persuaded her to kneel and mounted her neck. In less than two minutes, soothing, patting, and talking volubly to her in Hindustani, he had got on good terms with the animal. Then ho took her round to tho elephant ride, and apparently had her In complete con trol. Phrases of his admonitions, freely translated, were as follows: "1 am told that you eat .your food, and will not work; it is wrong: Allah enjoins us all that we must work if we would eat. You are cheating your masters, and it is unworthy of you. I am only a black man, and you. must not mind me. Put fear out of your mind; take it up from your heart, and throw it out." The elephant certainly seemed to understand and now ohcys every order. The mahout Was given quar ters in another part of the gardens, hut he obtained leave.1 to sleep In tho elephant house, as ,ho says that ho wishes to talk to the Elephant during tho night. He has not yet tried to saddle her, as he wants to take things slowly, but ho Is confident he will conquer all her fears and make her permanently 'obedient.
