LONDON, Auk. 15. (Ry the Asso

is paid by the British press to the late
I Viscount Nortlicllffo. this ' morning,

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

gize "the chief," and the Times de

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-

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.

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.

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.

strike of upwards of 12,000 miners.
Terms of the latest company of
