Fearing the effects of the west front reverses and of democratic propaganda on Teutonic morale the Prussian war lords have decided upon a pan-German propaganda campaign throughout Germany, and a further curtail ing of the freedom of the press and speech in the empire. This is the word received through entente diplomatic ad vices yesterday. Following this plan announcement is made that ministers will go before the people and explain f aots concerning important problems that are facing Ger - nny and the German people. This was decided upon following the giving publicity to former pan-German claims by a large part of the German press. This is il lustrated by one paper, the Hamburger Echo which fol lowing pan-German arguments illustrates how they have deceived themselves and others, proceeds to call attention to the many German assertions made by the war lords, all of which the Echo says were false. It calls attention to the fact that before the United States entered the war these war lords asserted this country was bluffing and would not declare war; that if it could be stirred to the point of declaring war it would not send soldiers to Eu rope, and that if soldiers were so sent the U-boats would .sink all transports or blockade the coast of France so they could not land; that England would be starved in a short time and over and above all that Germany's firm attitude toward the United States would force neutral support to Germany. It called attention to much more of the same kind of arguments and then to the fact that, not a single one of these assertions r.nd promises made to the German people were verified. All of them proved false. The paper then argues from this that no more de pendence can be placed on fresh promises beingmade than on those which have proved utterly foundationless. The Echo is far from being alone in so calling attention to the falsity of the war-lords' predictions. There are many others, and their statement? i-re stirring the Ger man people to such an extent that the war lords can find no other means to prevent this dangerous publicity than that on which they always fall back as a last resort force. Now they would suppress all papers venturing to criticize their actions, for they know that their acts will not stand the glare of publicity. Instead of taking the German people into their confidence they are adopting Ihe course of keeping them in ignorance as to all matters pertaining to the war. for by this course alone can they oven hope to 'still further induce them to sacrifice their children in the shambles made that autocracy can still longer keep its feet on the necks of the German people. They consider it immeasurably preferable that every able bodied young Gorman should die and his body rot on the battlefields of Europe than that one jot of the sacredness of the kaiser and his war lords should be abated. Ihe Germans boast of their intelligence and their universal education, but even the most ignorant Russian peasant would not for long submit to this kind of treatment. 1 he latter for a while, were deceived by those German agents licnine and Trotsky, but even they saw through the trans parent camouflage by which these German spies and agents were surrounded and rebelled against it. It is the fear that the intelligence of the German people may be reached through the German independent press that has caused the campaign for muzzling the press to be decided on. It may succeed for a time, but it must fail eventual ly, and then will come chaos for Prussian militarism. The war lords have lived by the sword, iiid belief in the scrip tures compels the faith that by the sword they will perish. The Grand Army is holding its business session to day, and among the things before it are the election of officers and the selection of the place for next year's en campment. St. Paul, Columbus and Dos Moines are all bidders, and New Orleans has made a strong offer to the old boys to come down there and see how differently they will be treated than they were half a century ago. C. E. Adams, of Omaha, seems to be the leading candidate for commander-in-chief with F. C. Ilurd, of Seattle a good second. While the members are "well along in years" All Russia is aflame with revolution and if it was possible for the allies to furnish the munitions and sup- Balkans. As it is the kaiser sees his hold on the country fast weakening, and another declaration of war against Russia by Germany is among the not remote possibilities.

ALASKAN FREIGHTS HIGHER Washington, Aug. 20. Freight ship ments between all Pacific ports of eall and Alaskan points are effected by an inrrease in class rates granted by plies there would soon be a new battle front east of ther, The increase is applicable to con signments between Seattle and Tavoma and Skagway, Alaska, and between South Pacifie ports and Dawson. They affect also freight rates between Skaij wav and Dawson and interior Alaska. The increase range from $5 to $8 ii i x i. x "B uu ciass rates, i ne com- are on a strike, and there seems to be only strict justice jmodity rates are not affected. The in in their demands. They are taking the place of men and rrcM effecti, on five das' un doing a full day's work just as the men did, but they are not paid as much. They demand the same pay for the same work, and any fair-minded person will concede that this is a reasonable demand, General Byng commands the forces attacking near Noyons this morning. It was he who broke through the Hindenburg lines last year and had the enemy badly whipped if he had been backed up properly. He is making a splendid showing again today, and should be turned loose oftener. The boys in the army in France are using 1,250,000 pounds of butter and 700,000 pounds of oleomargarine a month, but then that is only about a pound and a third for each. It is a rather slow civilian who does not get at least that much butter and substitute. i ' ' After all the isolation of the Arctic circle has some redeeming features. Frederick Smithers, a fur dealer who has been in Grant Land for five years, and who has just reached Montreal, first heard there is a war in Eu rope when he reached the edge of civilization a few weeks ago. Just fancy all the worry he has missed. Spain has at last plucked ud couraere enough to tell the kaiser that if any more of her ships are sunk by sub marines she will make the losses good by taking over a German ship from among those now interned in Spanish waters. This action should have been taken long ago, for by this time Spain would have had title to the whole bunch estimated at about seventy ships. Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason . THE KAISER'S DREAM. 4 4 LADD & BUSH, Bankers l ALL THE THIRD LIBERTY BONDS ARE NOW HERE. THOSE INTERESTED PLEASE CALL AT THE BANK The kaiser dreamed that he would reign from Naples to Alaska; his subjects would be found in" Maine, and up in Athabasca. He'd ride in state through Boston town and swagger in Toronto, and see the peoples kneeling down where has the vision gone to? Oh, Wilhelm ate some liverwurst one night before retiring, and saw him self in splendor burst upon a world admiring. He had a throne set up in Cork, another one in Lansing, he saw, Rochester, New York, his retinue advancing. . The na tions bowed to hail their lord, revered his two faced eagle; he gave the vanquished as reward a smile sublime and regal. Oh, Wilhelm ate some rancid cheese before he sought his slumbers; a lot of batty dreams like these he hail in endless numbers. If you eat goose before vou sleep, and dream you're Alexander, you say, "Hereafter I will keep away from goose and gander." But Wilhelm thought his dreams were sane, and not the fruit of sau sage; and so he spoiled with bloody rain the age of peace, the boss age. May he be reigning on a rock, when this grim war is ended, some lonely crag where seagulls flock and all the woes are blended. GENERAL OTANI THESE. London, Aug. 21.

The rei thev divided in half. Ruth to do as she pleased with her half, Brian to have the same privilege. 'lint, dear, we haven t counted penny for outing or theaters," eho said, when finally they got np to re tiro. "No, I guess we'll have to do with out many theaters for a while. - We'll go to the movies occasionally, and if we iaj go to the theater we will each pay for our own tw-ket." "Oh, how funuv!" and Ruth laueh- ed hysterically. Not that she really tliougut it funny, but that it seemed so utterly incongruous. The idea that she should buy her own ticket. and he his, out of their part of the mea gre amount left for clothes, etc., made oer nysteneai. How" long do you think it will be. Brian, before you can earn morcf" she asked Boberly, the next morning as breakfast.

"Oh, very soon, i skali get some nayina asea before long. There's a man down on Long Island owes mo a little money. I'll try to eollwt that.

Vo can t possibly buy clothes on what you earn now." "Don't cross bridges until you come to them. 1 don't see but we are pretty well fixei. By the- time we need lothes, we 11 be ablo to have them." Kuth bit her lip, and said no more. Anil not even Brian's eoinpliineut be- ause of her unproved breakfast, could bring a smile to her face. Brian renlly meant what he said. He didn't ee but that they were pretty well fixed. Ho never had been accustomed to luxury, and the neat, siniplv-fiinii-died rooms, with the daintv muslin I'lirtuiiis at tho windows and soft-tuned nig ruga on the floor, the comfortable chairs, big table which, after dinner win cleared away, they uM as a reading table seemed to him all that was necessary for com- ort- Brian thought a great it-a 1 of lint: his comfort. Had he not, per- lias he might have been more success ful in a hunesa way. But "inan- naua was alwavs on his hps. Never waa ho in a hurrv to accomplish ur- hing; another day was coming, he would do it then.- He had a verv optimistic nature, and a war of impressing people who did not know him, fostering in them the belief that he would accomplish groat things. Hut Mrs. Clayborne bad sevu tho weakness in his character, and had feared for Kuth 'a happiness because of it . t Had Brian been, or had Mrs. (.'lay borne thought him, more stble, she would not so lunch have minded his poverty, and she would have assisted hiin aud Kuth until such a time as they could get along alone. But she sensed his sicakness, and felt sure that sooner or later Kuth would wake np to the sort of man she had married sad come back home. Not that Mrs, Hayborne thought Brian a bad man. :-u didn't. And he wasn't! but she did sense his limitation. He was, he always would he, a financial failure so she thought. And so, after a month or two of life in Xfw York, had Ruth begun to think. It was so belittling, Both thought, to count every penny. Yet, never did she voire a eomplaiut. the went to market in all the bravery of her ex pensive gowas, carrying a basket, and bought a little of this, and a little of that, and, a Mr. Murphy said, "lug ged it home." To say Kuth was happy, would not be trae. It would be equally on! rue to say ske-waa unsappy at this time.
