ALL EYES ON ANTWERP

LONDON, Oct. 8.-All eyes in Europe and probaDiy all over the world are turned on the city of Antwerp ths morning as five German army corps rage forward Ill Vie effort to smash it's resistance Hosts of refugees are e
 ng from the city towards England and Holland as the great German guns send in their messages ot death ana German Zeppelin airships drop murderous bombs from aof The attack by the Zeppens is the most aw1u m the story of warfare Never the war began have the great vessels inflicted such terrible damage and defense
 less citizens among the victims otener than the troops They are sailing around above the great city ana from time to time down comes bomb if the very hea- vens were fighting against the Belgian defenders The garrison is fighting with the courage and sacrl1ce that nave made the name of Begans renouned for ever more Re-nforcements have been got into the city as well as more guns and the struggle rages on without cessation
 The Germans have succeeded in crossing the river Nethe but the trenches along the river Schedt are still holding out and the BelgaAS behind them are meeting every as sault herocaly However the German offensive is ap- preaching the inner ring of forts the outer ring having been demolished practically While the struggle of the garrison is maintained with all the great Belgian spirit
 the feeling is only too prevalent here that Antwerp must
 soon fall before the irresistible onslaught of the besegers

THOUGHT JURY APPLAUDED
 ATTACK ON ATTORNEY
Remarkable Occurrence in Court to
 Day Ends Without Difficulty

When the court was ready this morning to begin the trial of James Dwyer for the murder of John Wilson at Knik the legal advisors of the de- fendant brought to the attention of the court the alleged fact that the jury in the case was present in a body last at the meeting addressed by Delegate Wickersham and that some of the jurymen applauded the attack made by the delegate on Senator l.. V. Ray, one of Dwyer's attorneys. Court was continued until 1:30 o'clock this afternoon while the matter was under consideration. At the reopen ing E. E.. Ritchie, another attorney for the defense stated that since the mornings proceedings it had been learned that if any of the jury at all seemed to endorse the attack on MT. Ray it was only one member of the jury at most and it may not even be one. He, therefore, had come to the conclusion that there was no founda- tion for the charge and the defense was ready to proceed. His honor then declared that the matter was ended so far as that trial was concerned.
The Seward gateway., 1914-10-08

was stated afterwards that he had not told the whole story but one can hardly expect a German regiment to go over and help the allies to beat it's own side.
 He amused the audience by reading some letters from men who are opposed to him now. Some of the let ters were from Mir. Bunnell and the crowd smiled very audibly when Mir. Wickersham showed by the written word that Bunnell had formerly been a republican and that he had actually once stated in a letter to the delegate himself that he, Wickersham, is the right man in the right place."
 He also told how the editor of the Juneau Empire is now attacking him because of the sort of Legislature bill secured but he read several letters from the same editor in former times which said that the bill was all that could be desired.
 On the whole the speech was char acteristic of Mir. Wickersham and for that reason it was highly entertaining. One very remarkable fact is that Judge Wickersham was introduced by the chairman of the democratic club Dr. Daggett.

and some others.
 Mir. Mears speaks very highly of Seward and it's surroundings. He calls it a beautiful townSite and fine har- bor and in every way seems to be favorably impressed while he is al ways very careful to remind his queStioner that the members of the Alaska Railroad commission have finished their work when they have, so to speak. told the president the facts. It is for him alone to draw the conclusions and to decide. During the winter Mir. MearS will examine into similar conditions along the Canadian railroads. That is. similar conditions to those found here.
 The government intends, Mir. Riggs says, to build not a railroad but rail roads. There may even be two trunk lines for all he knows.
The Seward gateway., 1914-10-08

These are the opinions expressed last night by Commissioner Thomas Riggs of the government railroad commission, who with Lieutenant MearS, his colleague in the commiS' sion, arrived in Seward yesterday af- ternoon. Mir. Riggs is on his way out side and Mir. Mears will return to Ship creek. On the MaripoSa this ev- ening will come the chairman of the commission, Mir. Edes. He and Mir. Riggs will proceed together outside on the MaripoSa. Mir. Edes will pro ceed to Washington as soon as pos sible but Mir. Riggs will remain in Seattle and there he will complete the estimates of the work done by the commission for presentation to Presi- dent Wilson probably before the First of the new year. The surveys will be fully completed by the First of next month when Mir. Mears will close up camp at Ship creek after the return of the field forces.
 Mir. Riggs gave out last evening all that it is possible for him to say.
 Three lines have been surveyed across the Panama valley from the point where the trunk line will come out on the Panama Flats MeSSreS. Mears and Riggs have gone over the Alaska Northern railroad from one end to the other carefully and the op- inion expressed above is the one gain ed. Eighteen townSites have been re- served by the president but these can only be regarded as possible townsiteS as the whole matter will, of course, be decided by the president. Among the townsites reserved are the one at Seward, Mile Sixty three, Bear creek, Ship creek, Matanuska June tion and places in the distant interior

WARRING HOSTS IN FRANCE STAND REMOVABLE

 HOSTILE FORCES MAKE PAUSE
FALL or ANTWERP FEARED

LONDON, Oct 8--(2:20 p. .)-The fall of Antwerp is gravey feared here this afternoon The great siege guns of the Germans are working havoc all over now having coming close enough to land their shells right in the streets in the heart of the city If the city falls the Belgian army of defense will have two alternatives in case CT make desperate effort fight their way through and join the allied armies in France they must retreat into Holland and there be ntened for the remainder of the war The latter regarded too awful to believe the Begians will follow it. It is called the efeminate course and anything else would be preferred here The gar rson has been holding out in spite of fghtfu losses in the hope that the left wing of the allies would be able to swing around and bring but the progress of the battle in France makes such relief doubtful to say the least of it.

LIEUTENANT EDGERTON
 COMES TO SEWARD Hopes that a Large Appropriation Will be Given for roads
 Next Year

Lieutenant Edgerton of the Alaska Road Commission arrived in Seward the night before last on tour of in- spection of the various places. He says that there is no reason to believe that the government will not give a large appropriation for work next year. The war and the consequent loss of revenue, he thinks, would not justify neglect of roads when they are so badly needed The lieutenant has been in Nome and other parts of the territory this year on business connected with the commission. He was, by the way, with Lieutenant Mears in the engineering work of the railroad on the Panama canal.

CROWD HEARS
 WICKtRShAM
DELEGATE SHOWED GOOD FORM LAST NIGHT IN
 SPEECH

Delegate James Wickersham deli vered a forcible speech last night to a very large audience in the spacious room of the railroad building which is being used as a courthouse. Among those present were several who are not supporters of the delegate politi- cally. Judge Brown, strong regular democrat, was one and Charles E. Heron, chairman of the republican territorial committee was another. There were also many others who have taken prominent parts in the work of political parties opposed to Mir. Wickersham but, and it speaks we'll for the political life of Alaska, all were evidently very much interest ed in what the delegate had to say.
 No matter how one leans politically it was admitted that the arguments of MT. Wickersham were strong. 1t

 Judge Lyons has been an attorney in Valdez since 1901. He was U. s. Commissioner for eight years. In 1909 he became a partner of Judge Brown and continued until the latter's appointment to the district court bench.

LONDON OPINION

LONDON, Oct S.-Mitary experts here declare that the Germans made tactical mistake in attacking the al
 lied left before capturing Antwerp In the first place the siege of the city require at least quarter of million men the forts strong and the Belgian garrison not be far short of hundred thousand It is believed that the attack Antwerp forced on the Germans by the advance of the allies the north The position of the Belgian army in the city gave it chance to assist the allies when they closer the attack became nec esstated

FRONTAL ATTACK TOO COSTLY

BERLIN, Oct 8-The report that Field Marshal von Moltke had been removed from his position chief of staff is denied authortatvey It is here that the frontal attacks in the fighting in France too costly to both sides and the French armies have discontinued theirs entirely The movements in future will probably be mostly flanking The great battle has therefore re- solved itself into the stranget conflict Neither seems to any likelihood of being able to dsodge the other and military science alone seems able to decide the matter.
