Wants Steamships
Owned by Uncle Sam

From ten to twenty steamships. to
ply between the ports of Alaska and
those of both North and South Amer
lea, and to be operated by the Panama
Railroad Company, which the Govern
ment owns, was the gist of an amend
ment to the Alaska railroad bill, in
troduced this afternoon by Senator
Norris.
The President is empowered to raise
in any manner he sees f1t not more
than S15.0o0,000 for the purpose of
constructing these steamships. They
are to be so constructed as to make
them of use in aiding the navy as a
merchant marine
On the ground that Government
owned railway would increase the
paternalism of this Government and
vastly enlarge the number of Gov
ernment employees as against the
number of private employees, Senator
Williams declared he was opposed to
the bill.

Galac1a and Hungary are the injected re-
gions at present; it has also obtained foot
hold among the Servian troops. he ap- I
pearance of this dread disease is Of first i'm
portance, not only to the armies, but to nom
combatants In the history of this deadly
scourge, its ravages have surpassed every
other agent of destruction, save, perhaps,
bubonic plague. The present conditions of
bad weather and the enormous bodies of !
men gathered together under the worst of
sanitary conditions, are most favorable for
its rapid spread.
HEAVY RAIN has been falling almost
necessarily both in Belgium and in France.
The trenches in the long battle line of al
most two hundred miles in France are full
of water, and it is here the soldiers must
practically eat, sleep, and fght-all in two
or three feet of water, with soft mud at the
bottom. AS the result of this exposure, no
doubt there will be heavy toll of human
lives
The line of battle between the Allies and
the Germans in France is practically the
same as it was last week There have been
successes and defeats on both sides, but
these have brought about no real modif-
cation of the German positionon French soil

mans. A white flag was sent into the city

dus of people began at once, and at noon
the government was transferred to Ostend.
The capitulation of Antwerp, according to
German military authorities, can be only a
matter of few days. The extraordinary
piercing power of the new German heavy
artillery makes this assertion altogether
probable. At the Liege and Namur forts,
it was a matter of minutes after the guns
were in position before the forts were COM
pletely battered to pieces. The possession
of Antwerp will be of great strategic adj
vantage to the Germans.
Following the sinking Of three British
armored cruisers in the North Sea by Ger
man submarine, with loss of fourteen
hundred men, comes the news of a British
submarine sending to the bottom of the same

Ten ships are known to have been sunk

In East Prussia, there have been no de-

pushing their lines on towards Cracow, the
Austrians retreating. In the Servo-Austri-

that about the only thing that can be said
is that there is a war between these two
powers.
