THOUSANDS SACRIFICED IN VAIN EFFORTS
PRESIDENT WILSON WANTS ALASKA
 COAL LEASING BILL PASSED

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-A fact that may develope into ones of the greatest importance to Alaska is that President Wilson today expressed the wish that the Alaska coal leasing bill will be taken up after the rivers and harbors bill which is now before con gress. The Alaska measure has a'- ready been passed by the house anc the president wishes it to be passed by the senate the very moment the other bill is disposed of. The republi- can filibuster against the river and harbor bill still continues and the president has receded from his com promise position which means that he would favor only at present the ap- propriation of fifteen millions of dol lars to carry on works already start ed. The democratic managers say that the river and harbor bill will be forced through congress in spite of
 iibustering or anything else. 1t means that an appropriation of fifty three millions of dollars will be made.

CATHEDRAL OF RHEIMS DESTROYED

PARIS, Sept. 2l.-The cathedral of Rheims has been destroyed by the German shell fire and the most famous example of Gothic architecture in the world has been lost
 The cathedral flew the Red Cross flag and was being used as hospital for he wounded when the Germans opened

It contained among others five hundred wound ed Germans who being treated carefully by the French doctors their lives when the shells began to fall France is issuing protest to the whole world because of this revolting act of vandalism and holds up before the eyes of all peoples the conduct of the army of nation which has recently been procaimng that its peo. pie the most advanced and civilized on the globe and that it is being attacked by people who are seml-cvlzed
 The cathedral of Rheims is to France almost what Westminster Abbey is to England For centuries the kings of France crowned there and it was in that cathedral that Joan of Arc brought the dapn to receive the crown The edce raised between the thirteenth and the fourteenth centuries It attacked by the French reyoutioniSs at the end of the eighteenth century but some time ago the French government spent half million of money to restore it.

LUMBER PEOPLE
 BREAK A BANK
U. s. NATIONAL BANK OF CEN TRALIA CLOSED BECAUSE OF
 LUMBER SITUATION

CENTRALLY, Wash, Sept. 21.- The United States National Bank and the Union Loan and Trust company have been closed by the national and state bank examiners owing to the condition into which they have fallen because of the failure of lumber con- cerns to pay the money which they had borrowed from the institutions. The two companies are allied and the failure may be regarded as the fail ure of only one concern but the total deposits in them amount to million and quarter dollars and the result of the closing of them will probably be a very serious one for this city and dis trict. The failure of the lumber men to pay their debts is due to the bad times in the lumber business particu- larly since the beginning of the war.

GREAT BATTLE STILL RACES

LONDON, Sept. 21.-The great battle of the Aisne still rages but very little has been given out during the past few days and the public are unable to lear whether any important changes have taken place in the relative positions of the opponents. The tremendous struggle has continued for than week and the slaughter has been terrific but the result to beas far graphed and told but the people have long ago become customed to ignore all that is not officially told.
 Desperate efforts are being made by the allies to turn Von KIucks flank but he has received strong reinforce ments and the ambition of the allies in that respect has not been fulfilled The continued rains help Von Kluck i'm mensey as the allies unable to their heavy guns because of the sofness of the ground The teams hauling some of the largest guns have been doubled and rebed but the wheels under the loads sink deep at every turn and this has delayed the enveopng movement which was started some days ago.

 EXONERATED

VICTORIA, Sept. 19.-The marine board has exonerated Captain Hickey of all blame for the loss of the Samp- son when his ship rammed her.
 This investigation has nothing to do with the investigation that is going on at the United States side. It was stated that Captain Hickey was run hing the Princess Victoria at a speed that was entirely too fast for foggy weather and that he ignored the whis- ties of the Sampson and failed to blow his fog horn at the required inter- vals. The board went carefully into the matter with the result stated.

ASTORIA, Ore, Sept. 19.-The de- tailed story of the disaster to the steam schooner Legget which was lost off this coast has become known and it is found that the number of people lost was seventy-two. Only three peo- pie were saved. The cause of the loss was primarily due to the shifting of a deck load of lumber during heavy gales. The vessel turned turtle com pletely and most of those lost were probably carried down with her a, they had been battened down during the storm and the turning over of the schooner must have been terribly sud den. The vessel, as stated before, haG left Hoquiam for San Francisco.
