Is (he hatred of the United States one hears so frequently reported real, Is it a transitory emotion, or does It threaten to become a lasting fact? Is it limited to a country, to one class of the population? It is growing or diminishing? Can it have any serious consequences for us? These are among tlie questions which were In my mind and explain in part, at least, my present European trip. In answering them I shall draw alike upon the experiences of my present journey and of the trip made earlier in the year which look me from London to Rome via Vienna and Budapest, as the later excursion has taken me through Berlin to Geneva, Paris aad the Belgium capital. I came to Belgium after Paris because it seemeu to me that if there were one place in Europe where the memory of America might linger with at least a semblance of grace it would be the country in which during the war Americans were most active in all the directions in which the commission for the relief of Belgium, the famous "C. R. B.," functioned. I knew already what was the feeling in France, In England, in Italy, in many other portions if Europe, but I had the faint hone that perhaps in Bel I gium there was rtill something left. But this was a mistake. The brutal fact is that in Belgium, as in most of the rest of Europe, in all of the Europe with which we, were associated during the war, a single judgment has been pronounced. It does not matter much whether you talk with the simpler people the men and women who work mostly with their hands or with the financial leaders, with the big people or the little, for all, America has come to mean the country which is deliberately and designedly exploiting the misery and poverty of Europe for its own selfish ends. The memory of what we did is rapidly becoming dim, has almost been obscured by the conception of what we are thought to be doing. Moab The Frank Shafer No. 1 well, the discovery well on the Cane Creek It dome, gushed again Tuesday. brought a column of crude oil of greenish hue and high specific gravity from a depth of 4976 feet. The oil gushed to the top of the feet above derrick, some eighty-fouthe surface of the ground. It subsided after about ten minutes, but at 3 o'clock the well was making a large volume of gas and another flow of oil Seen aa Frank Shafer Comes In at 4976 Feet: Gusher Sends Oil to Top of Derrick No. J Flow law-abidin- E STRONG 7 was expected momentarily. The Frank Shafer is the well that last December blew in as an oil gusher at a depth of 2028 feet, and flowed unrestrained for several weeks. After a long struggle the formation from which that oil came was closed, and the drilling proceeded as a test well for the deeper strata. Tuesday afternoon the tools drop ped into an oil stratum, and with a roar that could be heard for some distance away, the well blew in. Former Princess Business Woman Berlin Princess Eitel Friedrich of Prussia is celebrating her newly won freedom by entering the ranks of business women. She recently obtained a divorce from the former kaiser's second son and already Potsdam society is flocking to see the first exhibition of artistic wallpapcvs designed by the former princess, who was reputed to be one of the wealthiest princesses in the world before the war. Military subjects, soldiers in the gay rococo uniforms of the heydey of the monarchy, provide the favorite feature of the princess' designs. Each roll hears, on its border, the full name and title, Princess Eitel Friedrich von Preussen, in letters of gold. Many take this as her personal revenge on the family of Hohenzollera. pro-cra- Exploding Chloride Schooner With Cargo Valued Is Total San Fransisco Lime Fills Its Fumes; at 1. I f.

Vernal Farmers and stockmen using the range are becoming alarmed over the detrimental effects of the protracted dry spell prevailing in Ashley valley and the Uintah mountains. A storm threatened Friday, but stiff breezes blew the clouds away. The mercury at the official weather observer's station last Friday night dropped to 12 degrees above zero, the lowest record of the season. g the $200,000 The steam schooner Thurs- day off Punta Gorda, 180 miles north of San Francisco, was abandoned as a total loss, just outside Eureka harbor. After waging a desperate fight to bring the flames under control, members of the crew were forced from the vessel by fumes from chloride lime, which formed a part of the cargo. They were taken aboard the coast guard cutter Cahokia, which rushed to the aid of the burning vessel. Radio advices received here by the Federal Telegraph company said that the doomed ship was drifting, still burning furiously, off Humboldt bar, with the Cahokia and the United States destroyer McCawley standing 1 .. &. th-.i- t by. When the Everett was left to its off Eureka, it was the second time that It had been abandoned. Earlier in the day, when off Punta Gorda, the crew took to the open boats, ns efforts to beach the ship and to control the fire were unsuccessful. With the arrival of the Cahokia, the craft was boarded again and a race started for Eureka, some thirty miles distant. As the ship reached Humboldt bar, and it looked as though the race had been won, the fumes from the lime became so strong that it was impossible to continue the fight. fate Y ft ' ;X Reed Smoot FRANK R. GOODING Salt Lake Although complete returns from Salt Lake City and county had been received from only seventy-fivof the election districts, Republican leaders were claiming success for their county tickets. Democratic leaders were hoping that reports from districts not yet heard from would change the count in their favor. disThe totals in the seventy-fiv- e tricts for the leading candidates on the Republican and Democratic county tickets were: Patten, 17,754; Harries, 10,372. Dahlquist, 15,465; Lindsay, 12,271. Booth, 16,820; Halloran, 10,762. Bulletins coming in were watched with intense interest by groups of excited men and women at the campaign headquarters of the two parties. At the Republican state headquarters on the second floor of the HoteJ Utah, the crowd gathered in theooms and overflowing into the hall was chiefly concerned about the fortunes of Senator Smoot and the party's state and legislative tickets. At the Democratic headquarters in the Newhouse hotel, there was another group which held its interest centered upon the outcome of the state contest. At both the Republican and Democratic county headquarters there were crowds, which included candidates and their supporters all engrossed with the contest for county offices, but watching closely also the returns showing the vote for the candidates on the legislative tickets. The early returns, giving not only the lead to Senator Smoot, but showing that the county candidates on the Republican ticket were keeping close up, caused a storm of excitement at all four meeting places. But the tempest of enthusiasm was greatest at the Republican county headquarters because the early display of strength of Clifford W. Patten, candidate for sheriff, came as a surprise to many of the watchers, who had been uneasy about the strength of Ben R. Harries, Patten's Democratic opponent. Boise The Republican party swept into power in Idaho Tuesday. On the face of incomplete returns from 847 precincts in the state, United States Senator Frank R. Gooding was reelected by a plurality that will likely range on the complete returns from 12,00 to 15,000; Lieutenant Covernor H. C. Baldridge was named governor, probably leading the G. O. P. ticket with a plurality of from 15,000 to 30,000; Congressman Burton L. French succeeds himself from the First district and Congressman Addison T. Smith from the Second district. The Republican candidates for justice of the supreme court and the balance of the Republican state candidates were elected. Incomplete returns also indicate that the next legislature is safely Republican. In relative and comparative strength, the Progressive party, with H. F. 'Samuels, candidate for senator, and W. Scott Hall, candidate for governor, held second place in the race, while Democrats with John F. Nugent, candidate for senator, and Asher B. Wilson, gubernatorial candidate, continued in third place. It is not at all likely that the complete returns can change the result. The northern counties combining with the southeastern counties rolled up large majorities for the Republican candidates. The main strength of the Progressive developed in Canyon county. Oneida and several others were also carried. Successful Candidates. Republican candidate elected the returns indicated at an early hour this morning, are: United States senator Frank R. Gooding. Congressman from the First district Burton L. French. Congressman from the Second district Addison T. Smith. Justices of the supreme court Bailey Lee and Hp man H. Taylor. Governor H. C. Baldridge. Lieutenant governor Oscar E. Hailey.

France Must Pay on General Loans Paris A communique issued by the financial commission outlinine; the payments which France is obligated to make on foreign debts oth?r than war debts, calls for the payment of $435,000,000 to American creditors between now and the end of 1929.

Other creditors are England, Holland, Switzerland and Uruguay. 0 Uncle Sam Fights to Keep Money If the government Washington gave full credit to the stories of those who say it owes them money, the treasury would be fiat all the time.
