MAN LIVING INI
OLDEST HOUSE
IS LOYAL
LONDON, Oct. 8—Although he re
sides in the oldest inhabitated house
in England, T. Maguire is by no means
a Tory. Also, doubtless because he
is Irish he is one of the liveliest
rooters for Uncle Sam this side of
New York.
Sitting in the picturesque garden
of his eighth century home, over
looking the ruins of the ancient Ro
man city of Verulamium, Maguire
read in his evening paper that the
Sammies were on the morrow to pa
rade in London in force. Next day
he was among the first and noisiest
of the record-breaking crowd in Tra-1
falgar Square that cheered the pass
ing Sammies.
Only a few days previous he had an
argument with a narrow-minded fel
low townsman concerning America’s
coming in. The latter had said that
Uncle Sam was actuated by dollar
motives and had held off until he was
sure that with his assistance the Al
lies would win. Maguire retorted:
“Thats no way for the likes of you
to talk. When America says she is
not after indemnity or territory, what
grounds have you—especially you—
for such an ungrateful assertion?
Don’t you think that America shows
her unselfishness when she says she
is willing to pour out her blood and
treasurer, and is sending her sons of
the Pilgrim Fathers, the Irish Exiles,
the Scotch Crofters and English ar
tisans, who are mostly the victims of
English junkerism, to save you and
the likes of you from your half-bro
ther, the Hun, at whose shrine you
have worshipped for so many years.
That ended the argument.

Alaska waters during the past sum
mer, has completed its work for the
season, and the officers have left for
the south to reduce their notes of the
summer’s work to paper. The party
started work at Berner’s bay and
worked south through Favorite and
Saginaw passages into Stephen’s pas
sage and as far south as Point Young,
The entire area was dragged to a
depth of 85 feet and few shoals were
found which showed less water than
this, and the few discovered show

CHANCELLOR OF
GERMANY IN
HOT ITER
LONDON, Oct. 8. — External pres
sure to force Germany to state her
war aims having failed, internal con
ditions threaten to compel the im
perial german government to issue a
full statement regarding her aims, ac
cording to reliable information re
ceived here through neutral sources.
According to this authority. Chan
cellor Mlchaelis is about to meet the
crisis of his political career. Me has
been called upon to face the ever
increasing number of critics of the
government in the relchstag some
time this week, probably late today
when he is expected to discuss the
government's war aims and desires.
It is expected that the debate will cen
ter on the charges, oft repeated, that
the Junker bureaucracy and the army *
have been furthering the pan-German
scheme of annexations and indemni
ties.

FIRE!
A resident of Cordova had a
small fire In his house the other
day. It was extinguished by the
family at a loss of $150.00. The
next day he insured through us.
The cost of his insurance for
three years was less than his
loss at this trifling fire. Are
you, Mr. Property Owner, going
to wait until you have had a fire
before protecting yourself from
loss?
Any person wishing to build
can secure a fine residential or
business lot in Cordova from us
on exceptionally liberal terms.
Five hundred lots listed.
