WANT THE MOOSE JOIN NEW ORDER
 
Would AmaIoanate Order of Alas ka Moose With the Order of
 Loyal Moose.

National Director J. Hederick Johnson, of the Loyal Order of Moose of the World, is endeavoring to have the local lodge of Moose join the Loyal Order of Moose in body and to take out the charter for Val deg Lodge No. 1427, which will be organized at once.
 MT. Johnson, in an interview with representative of the Prospector, stated that he had been authorized by the Grand Lodge to offer to the entire membership of the Order of Alaska Moose membership in the Royal Order of Moose without extra cost or without the payment of in itiation fee and only agreeing to live under the rules laid down by the charter and the constitution of the Loyal Order.
 MT. Johnson states that the order has many benefits to give to it's mem bers beside the sick payments of $10 a week in case of sickness or injury. The lodge maintains homes for it's aged and dependent members and the members of the immediate fam lily of the Moose, the doors of 2000 lodges are opened with club room in sixteen cities in Alaska and in all most every city from Manila to Ber- lin and from Nome to Panama, and the free service of a physician for all members and their immediate fam fly.
 At Mooseheart, near Chicago, the Loyal Order maintains home for orphans and widows and aged mem. bers of the order and also vocation al school for the education of the children of Moose.
 When asked by a representative of the Prospector if members of the To-, cal Moose lodge did not care to take out the benefit membership could they still remain a member of the Loyal Order of Moose, MT. Johnson stated that the charter provides for two classes of membership, social and benefit, and that by the payment. of 50 cents month one retains so-i cial membership and when paying $3.50 quarter are entitled to doc tors service, $10 per week if sick or injured, the services of the home at Mooseheart or the tuberculosis home in Arizona.
 The Order of Alaska Moose, which was established in 1900, has large membership in all parts of Alaska, but maintains only the Valdez lodge, no subordinate charters having been granted excepting at Slate creek ill the early days when meetings were held in the northern camp.
 Ruling Spirit Thomas has request ed all members of the Alaska Moose to attend the meeting tonight to dis cuss the matter and to hear Mir. Johnson, who will speak.

The German resistance on this (Tues-
day. morning, was broken. l heard the
news in two ways:
The German guns were silent, and
from the wounded who poured down
to the Gases.
II am convinced that the full ex-
tent of this rout is not yet appreciated
in England. 1t was of a truly terrific
character and such blow will not
fail to have a lasting effect.
THE number of wounded entailed
colossal transportation work. I, my
self encountered Is trains in eight
hours.
THE enemy crossed the Marine on
the return journey north under great
difficulties and beneath a whitening
fire from the British troops, who pur-
sued them hotly. The German artil-
lery operated from a height, there was
again much hand to hand fighting and
the river was swollen with dead.
"On Tuesday night the British were
in possession of La Ferte Sous Jourre
and Chateau Thierry and the Germans
had fallen back 40 miles, leaving
long train of spoils behind them
ON the same day. in the neighborhood
of Vitry-Le-Francois, the French troops
achieved a splendid victory Incidentally
they drove back the famous imperial
guard of Germany from Sezanne toward
the swamps of st. Gond, where century
ago Napoleon achieved one of his last
successes. The main body of the guard
passed to the north of the swamps, but
heard of men and horses engulfed and
destroyed.

officer said. If only the Emperor were

found myself in a new France. The
good news had spread. Girls threw of1w-
ers at the passing soldiers and joy was
manifested everywhere
The incidents of wednesday will as
found the world when made known in
full. l know that two German detach-
ments Of 1000 men EACH which were sur
rounded and cornered but refused to sur
render, were wiped out almost to the last
man. The keynote of these operations
was the tremendous attack of the allies
along the ourcq on Tuesday. which show
ed the German commander that his lines
of communication were threatened Then
came the crowning stroke. The army of
the Ourcq and Meaux and the army of
Sezanne drew together like the blades
of a pair of shears. the pivot of which
was in the region of Grand Norm. The
German retreat was thus forced toward
the east and it speedily became rout.
II repeat that England scarcely real

and Charleroi are completely justified"

essary to Put Freight Tax
Through the House

Washington, Sept. 14.-Demoeratis of
the House opposing the proposed war
tax on freight transportation bills had
a call issued today for party caucus
on the subject tomorrow night Rep
resentative Underwood and other ad-
ministration leaders,, however, hop to
delay caucus consideration of the ques-
ton, at least until the President has
had an opportunity to weigh the sit
uation IN he ligh of recen develop
mentS.
President Wilson will return to
Washington tomorrow and it is the
purpose of Mr.. Underwood to make it
clea~ to him that it will be impossible
to put a freight tax through the House
unless he gives the proposal his I'M
qualified endorsement and indicates
thta the emergency demands such a
step. Should the President under these
circumstances urge that the revenue
bill as framed by Democrats of the
ways and means committee be accept
ed by Congress, Mr.. Underwood will
do all he can to allay the opposition
and will advise against a caucus on
the ground that nothing can be ac-
complished, that there cannot be ac-
complished in the House itself.
Today in the House there was an
undercurrent of belief that thu Pres
ident would not insist upon the
freight tax, but would urge the COM
mittee to suggest a new bill. proba-
bly, to include a stamp tax on CONNER
cial instruments. What happens, after
the Presidents return a spirited de-
bate is certain to begin when the sub
ject reaches the floor of the House.

Cardiff, Aug. 24.-Wales, the source
of the British navy's coal supply, has
shown it's loyalty to the King in a
manner highly gratifying to the ad-
miralty. In the face of attempts on
the part of Labor leaders to take ad-
vantage of the present war for the
enforcement of demands upon the ad-
miralty, the Welsh miners have gladly
waived all holidays and are working
Sundays whenever it is necessary to
keep the navy supply of coal up to the
required standard. Union officials
took the position that it was not neces-
sary for the union men to surrender
their holidays. but the miners over
turned the ruling of officials with
unanimity.

UNPRECEDENTED CONDITIONS

Further hearing of the rate case would
be asked it was said to show that extra
ordinary conditions have-arisen since
July. when the commission reached its
decision. The roads contend that their
showing for the fiscal year 1914 is worse
than has been estimated, and that that
condition now has been aggravated by
the effect of the European war on freight
business in the United States.
Whether the roads west of Buffalo and
Pittsburg, which were granted increases
in the advance rate decision, would ask
for further relief has not been indicated.
They were permitted to advance class
rates and many commodity rates per
cent. No advances whatever were grant
ed east of Buffalo and Pittsburg.
The railroad executives probably will
continue in conference here for several
