KING IF m
IS WITHOUT I
VIENNA, Jan. 10. — There Is a sec
jond king in Europe without a king
|
dom as a result of the war. Peter of
I Serbia is today no better off than
the King of the Belgians. Karngeor
gevltch is a fugitive before the ad
vance of the central powers and Bul
garian troops. His two capitals, Bel
jgrade and Nish, are In the hands of
| the invaders. Eor a time King Peter
I traveled in a special train. At Kru
sevatch he had to abandon his mov
able court. As he stood in the sta
j tion building of that town and waited
for the automobile that was to take
[him to other parts, tears streamed
down his cheeks. One of his dwind
ling entourage murmured a few com
forting words, hut to these King Pe
j ter merely nodded. Today he is said
[to be on his way to Scufaria.

SCHMIDTY’S FIRST OFFENCE.
Gliding next Alaska’s shore.
To the northward wend our way:
1 Scenery we all adore,
Making each one happy—gay.
Show-capped mountains, woodland
streams.
Passing through the lands of
dreams;
Picturesque the islands seen
Covered with their coat of green.
Here and there are little towns.
Above the grim old mountain
frowns;
Scenery, grand beyond compare,
Alaskan treasure, precious, rare.
Ting a-ling, the dinner bell,
Hunger causes all, pell-mell
To rush toward the dining hall.
Good things to eat for one and all.
And then that roughness, flying
dishes.
Competition, feeding fishes;
But e’en this is most a pleasure
On this ocean, mountain treasure.
Mariposa, gallant crew.
On this trip ’tis thanks to you
Oh, Alaskan wonderland,
We all are proud to grip your hand.
Think ’tis best I’d end this ditty,
Good luck to all.
Your “Nut” Friend,
Schmidty.
PERORATION ON ALASKA IS
A CLASSIC
William I) Boyce, publisher of the
Saturday Blade of Chicago, was a
member of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce excursion to Alaska two
years ago, and immediately following
IBs tour of the great northern terri
tory he published a book setting
forth, in realistic manner, his impres
sions and views of Alaska. The fol
lowing Is what might be termed the
ueroration. and it is produced here
with because it Is entitled to rank
among the classics.
"And now reluctantly my pen and
Alaska part, but not forever. How
can I forget this big. poor, rich ter
ritory? So long as I can secure the
public ear through my pen ami voice
will I try to help Alaska to her own,
i long will I advocate the making
of Alaska a colony of the United
States instead of a territory. Tills
■ountry ol' contradictions, with the
\ retie ocean on one side, and the
warm Japan current on the other;
is far north country of perpetual
spring and winter; this country of
glaciers and strawberries; this land
if the midnight sun and sunless mid
day; this country of highest moun
Ins and deepest sea; this country
of longest rivers and fairest flowers;
this country of wildest animals and
omest seals; this country where the
reindeer gets fatter In the winter
than In the summer;; this country
of richest mines and poorest transpor
tation; this country of bravest men
and lowest outcasts — may you some
day be intrusted to work out your own
salvation, as you alone can do It,
with Uncle 8am lending you a helping
hand.” <•- h
