 London, Sept. S-At last 1t looks as though the tide has turned on the continent, and the fortunes of war are now on the side of the Allied forces. There are probably several reasons for this. In the first
 
 place, Germany has shot her bolt and seems 10 have no re- serves to call out to take the place ofthe hundreds of thou sands of her gallant soldiers who have fallen in the sledSe hammer attacks ,he has hurled at the forces opposing them. Another reason is the Allied forces are now concentrated, and fighting in French terri Cory. their line being shorter nnr more easily handled. Stlll another cause is the presence of close To one hundred and fifty thousand Russian troops, who though they have not as vet reached the firing llne, have added weight to the Allied line and are a surprise to the Germans as their coming in inc manner they did from tha far northern provinces Of Rus sia. thence through Scotland

 London, Sept. 4-Word reach es this city that it is believed that the Germans have got with in thirty miles of Paris. Off, ficials high ill the art of war declare that Germany has now reached the high water mark of the present war. for the French are now fighting on their own ground and they have put their best efforts forward in the .r- rection of defenses for the coming seize. They are well supplied with ammunition and food supplies and will undoubt- edly fight until the last man is down rather than give one inch more to the advancing Ger man army.
 St. Petersburg. Sept. 4-Over one hundred and seventy thou- sand men were annihilated in the German-Austrian attempt to retake the city of Konigsburg which the Russians have oc- cupied for some time. The at taeking party was moved down like grass before the fire the Russians poured into their ranks. It was a pitiful sight to see the men make charge after charg only to go down to thei death. The Russian armies are well fortified and brought ali their machine guns and light artillery into use with very ef- fective result.
 Paris, Sept. 4-Officials here believe that the Germans will never reach the outer defensei of this city. They think that the Allied forces will be down upon their rear before they will be able to drive the French army out of their present posi- ton. The Germans have slack i'd off their attack some what and are now pouring long range artillery fire at the center Of the French defenses. hoping thereby to dislodge them z that they will be able to mak rush on their entire line and carry it by force. But the French forces are now better situated for a siege than at any time since the war began and they feel confident that they will be able 10 take the offens- i've shortly and regain some of the territory that the Germans now occupy.
 New York, Sept. 4-Advices reach th.s city that seventy two thousand Russian soldiers have been transnrted from Arfh- angle Land in the northern port of Russia to Aberdee l. Scotland and from there con- vcyed by special trains to Har- wick which IS sea port on the south east coast of England. From there they were taken by transports to Ostend to re- inforce the Allied forces that are now i'll the field. The addi- ton of this number Q fmen will mean that the Allied forces will be able to give the Germans ilin time Of their lives.

 THE PLATFORM
 We, the people of the First judicial division. Territory of Alaska, realizing the real inter- ests of the territory would be best served by a partisan legislature, comprising citizens who are not bound by partisan political rule recognize the re- sponslbility to the, people. and respectfully present the fol lowing platform endorsed by the convention held at Juneau. September 3, 1914. and signed by the nominees of thot con- vention:
 We pledge the nominees of this convention to confine their efforts in this campaign to the election of the non-parti san ticket, and that they will re- Train from campaigning for any candidate for congress, though We expect each nominee to vote for whatever congressional can didate he shall see fit.
 We believe the canning and conserving of fish as a food product constitutes one of the great industries of this terrl- tory and that therefore the can ners and the fishermen should be permitted to carry on the in- dustry under such reasonable regulations as will permit the highest development of the in- dustry, compatible with the protection of the supply of the fish so that the industry will not be destroyed.
 We favor the passage of a workman's compensation act which will provide an inexpen- sive, simple and speedy method for the submission and deter imitation of claims against em- ployers by employees for per sonal injury and we favor the creation of a commission in each of the judicial divisions for the purpose of settling, de- termining, adjusting and enforc ing such claims between em- ployers and employees similar to the legislation now in force in many states.
 We favor separate and com plete autonomy for Division Number One.
 We favor the control of the sale of spurious liquors by laws passed by the Alaska Leg islature.
 We believe that the munich palities of the territory should be allowed 10 issue bonds for .c1oJl and municipal purposes.

and England to France was clearly never anticipated by the German commanders. They had~provided against Russian troops coming out of the Baltic by sowing the waters of that route with floating mines, but even though they might have thought of the possibility of troops being dispatched by this route, they were helpless to prevent it.
 Paris reports that General Joffre and the British eXpedi- tionary forces have succeeded in turning the German right wing, and rolling it back on to it's center, thus forcing the evacuation of Lille and other strategic points by the invaders, and the two forces were con- fronting each other on the banks of the Schelt river. The British forces near Mons, who have held their ground in spite of the repeated attacks of the German regiments are now chafing under inaction, and the probabilities are they will be | launched in an attack against the rear of the Germans, thus crushing them between two fires. As soon as the field equip ment of the Russian troops ar rive they will take the field, an :, it looks as though the move ment of the Germany army will be toward Berlin instead of Paris.
 Kaiser Wilhelm in the Field Paris, Sept. S-A determined attakc is now being made on the forts defending Nancy, near the center of the French line of defense. 75 large seize cannon are being used, the attack be- ing under the personal direc- tion of Kaiser Wilhelm and the general staff, who are watch ing the bombardment.
 British Cruiser Lost.
 London, Sept. S-Word comes from the fleet that the British light cruiser Pathfinder, was blown up by a mine while do- ing patrol duty in the North Sea. The greater number of her crew were rescued, but several of the officers are mis- sing and are supposed to have drowned.
 French Fleet Busy Antivari, Sept. S-A squadron of French war vessels are now bombarding the Austrian port on the Bay of Cattaro. A num- Der of transports with soldiers on board are reported to be in cover behind the warships and the probabilities are that land attack will be made as soon a, the forts are reduced.
 Thousands Have Died
 London, Sept. S-The cores pondent of the Daily Mail Of this city estimates that the total number of Germans killed of
 
 the army that marched through Belgium and later has operated against the Allied forces of the north is close to a quarter mll- lion. The Allies loss in killed is estimated by the same authority as about fifty thous- and.
 Paris Ready For Anything
 Paris, Sept. S-The General Staff announces today that the defenses of Paris are now con- plete. Over a thousand heavy guns are in position, connected by railways, so that there should be no difficulty in get ting ammunition to same. The circumference of the for'iflca- lions is roughly about one hun dred and fifty miles. During the last day or two, several

WHERE INCONSISTENCY HURTS.

Inconsistency has defeated more
men for public office than most any
other one thing. A candidate should
be consistent in his policy. his plat

If Senator Gore is not careful he is
going to materially damage his chan

consistent He has pulled several
Inconsistencies" the folly of one
of which is apparent to the voters
of Oklahoma.
In one statement he says he sim
ply must remain in Washington and
look after the interests of the people
regardless of the consequences.
In another statement he says that
he has the race won, two or three to
one.
In the second breath he makes a
hurried return to Oklahoma leaving

In the State Auditors office. are
some bills filed by Attorney General
Chas. West, now a candidate for
governor, in which Charley charged
the taxpayers Of the state twenty
five cents for shoe shines. This ap-
pears to be bit excessive, but the
taxpayers of the state do not object
to these as much as they object to
his four million dollar monkey shin
es. The taxpayers of the state have
paid about four million dollars ex-
cessive railroad rates, which had the
Attorney General done as the attor-
ney generals Of other states, would
still have been in the pockets of the
taxpayers. Twenty-Five cents shoe
