WHITTLESEY RETURNS
 FROM THE WESTWARD
RumOr Says He Went For Witnesses Connected With Supposed
 Cannery Indictments

Judge w. H. Whittlesey arrived to- day on the Watson after trying time while attempting to summon witnesses in some cases. Rumor has it that the witnesses are to be examin- ed before the grand jury at Valdez connection with the supposed indict- ment connected with canneries but the judge, of course, declined to say any thing about this matter. He and Deputy Marshal Ike Evans went to Kachemak Bay on launch but got stuck in the mud at the head of the bay and were compelled to wade through the mud for two miles or more to reach shore. The boat did not, therefore, have chance to land there. At the head of Kachemak bay the government has cut a lot of hay for the use of forty horses that will be wintered in that district. The Watson had 400 tons of freight for Knik and was there 2S hours. She spent ten hours at Iliamna and picked up eight passengers at the latter place.

ALLIED FRONT MAINTAINED

PARIS, Oct 26-It is officially announced that the allied front along the general line between Neuport and Dmude was maintained Saturday in spite of the severe attacks of the enemy The Germans it is conceded cross ed the Yser but the force making the passage of the stream has been unable to make any further progress The allied front has also been maintained between YpreS and ROulers, between Armenteres and Lille, west of Labassee and Lens and east of Arras. The enemy put ting forth the most extraordinary efforts to hur back the British and French along those lines and the fighting has been terrific and bloody. With the exception of the crossing of the Yse however the French official accounts are favorable Should matters come to deadlock in that part of the battle line experts cannot tell what will be tried next Along the other parts of the line both sides seem to have to the conclusion that frontal attacks are altogether too costly and practically hopeless and any further attempts to turn the western flank of either side will be frustrated when both Hanks reach the sea coast as they may be said to have done Reaching they do to the coast there to be left only the alternative of bursting through the opposing line and this feat the Ger mans are without question attempting in their efforts to reach the cities It is stated here that the threats sent out regarding the invasion of England meant only to frighen the British into keeping their forces at home instead of sending them to France

CHINA GOES AFTER JAPAN

This act is declared to be dis tinct and brazen violation of Chinese neutrality and the demand of the Chinese government may well lead to breach between the two nations.

RILEY SAYS MANY WILL
 COME HERE OVER TRIAL
We'll Known IditarOd Man, Believes All Lower River People Will
 Come This Way.

That a large number of Iditarod people will travel to the outside on the first and second mail trip by the way of Seward this year is the in- formation conveyed in a letter to frank Cotter by Riley, a member of the well known mining firm of Riley md MarSten of the lditarod. Mir. Riley also believes that the people rom the other towns and camps on the lower Yukon will also avail them selves of the shorter route by the way Jf Seward from this time forward so that a very large amount of travel may be looked for by the people of this city. An effort will probably be made to have the Ruby camp connect ed up with the Seward-Iditarod trail. From Long creek in the Ruby dis trict the Innoko country is visible and the country between is one in which the building of a trial would be l matter of the greatest ease and simplicity.
