BIG ONES IN MILLION
 DOLLAR LAWSUIT


 NEW K-Surrounded by prom inent attorneys. Edwin Gould and F. Augustus Heinze as plaintiff and de. fendant respectively are in the Su- preme Court. Mir. Gould, represented by Alton B. Parker is suing Mir. Heinze on two promissory notes, aggegat. ing with interest to date. $1.OOO, ,OOO. It is alleged that HeinZe gave the notes to Gould in part payment for Mercantile National Bank stock.
 Through the delivery of the stock to Heinze by Gould and Charles w. Morse, Heinze was enabled to get control of the bank and later become it's president, Mir. Parker said He ad- ded that in the panic of 1907, there was a heavy depression in Mercantile National stock and that Hein2e came to the conclusion that he had been defrauded and did not want to pay the notes. But, Mir. Parker went on, he would show the sale was made in perfect good faith, and Mir, Helnze's cry of fraud was absurd.
 Former State Senator Edward Bracket, representing Heinze, told the jury before Justice Page that at the time Heinze purchased the stock the banks condition was grossly mis. represented to him by Morse. Brack- cit declared 1t was "a plain case of swindle,"
 The trial may last several days. The case was called at the last term of court in June, but M. Heinze was seriously i'll and could not attend. Yes. terday he said he felt "bully."-New York World.

EUROPEAN WAR AND
 APPROACHING WINTER

To the worlds anxious interest in the great war, "When?" is almost as important as "Who?'
 The time element here possesses a degree of importance ne win warfare It not only concerns the probable ul- innate fortunes of one party to the conflict but also vitally affects the whole worlds welfare, so vast is the struggle, so heavy its cost, and oner- ous it's general effects. Wars once were leisurely affairs, involving small factions of populations, and not great ly disarranglng national life. But the case is utterly different with strug- gle of the present dimensions and in tenslty.
 Hence is the calendar now second ary only to the map. And the calendar today suggests, after nine full weeks of fighting under the years best cam paigning conditions that in seven more weeks December will arrive, and may inject new seasonal factors ln the military equation.
 To the combatants this conjuncture of seasons supplies every incentive for augmented effort at top speed and power. The campaigns seem now to have resolved into well marked secondary stages; and it is to each par ticipants interest, material and nor tal to establish in this Open-weather interval the maximum of advantage, in either attacking or resisting.
 The former role now seems to be- long in the main to the Allies. Their cause would appear greatly forward ed toward success could they this au- tumn possibly make no. German line tenable short of the Rhine, and at the same time make a serious breach in the eastern Austro-German last defen- ces. It seems plausible to attach such motive to strategy in each thea tre that appears as daring as prudence will allow, and to strenuous endeaV- ors to bring forward new reserves. Sue cess more than the immediate re- lease of Franco-Belgian and the inyas- ion of German soil.
 Likewise the incentive to the Ger mans, if the complete resumption of attack is too much, at least to main tain an unbroken front, varied with certain offensive excursions of spec ulatIve value. For example, the great test of the Zeppelin weapon when No vember fogs shall descend-to which certain military maneuvers and espec- ially the siege of Antwerp may be not unrelated. Possibly also some further submarine ventures just be- fore winter gales are due.
 To the non-combatants of the world this time equation is even more i'm portant. All the probability appears to be that the world cannot expect

peace for Christmas gift; but it would certainly be deemed notable blessing could there be given a clear sign as to the outcome, with perhaps hint of its distance off. If the great issue drags into December as clouded as now, it will be indeed a winter of discontent. For the world has many anxious and weighty calculations to make, that hinge thereupon.
 This is not to assume, of course, that winter will mean any real breath. ing spell. Also in this respect has warfare changed. It is increasingly less subject to seasons. These armies will not settle down into winter quar-. ters in any such fashion as once did Julius Caesar and their own ances. tors in the same territory. Winter may now exert much less deterring influ- ence than even in the Napoleanic era. Still, it should leave distinct i'm press on the wars compleXion-One that is already prognosticated in mill. tary pre-requisitions, ranging from steel shelter plates to woolen garments.

FORMAL OPENING OF

Great preparations are underway for the formal opening of Goldsteins Emporium. which has been set for Monday, October 26, from to 10 p. m.

The first of these ferries will leave Thane for Juneau at 2 o'clock in the evening and the second will leave at 7:45. Both ferries will call at Treadwell enroute to Juneau. Leaving on return trip from Juneau to Thane the first ferry will depart at 10 o'clock and the second not later than Il o'clock. Both will call at Douglas and Treadwell. There will be no charge for passage on any of the trips mentioned.

PARIS, Oct. 2O.-That the war will cost the world over $176OO,OOO,OOO if it lasts six months is the declaration made by Yves Guyot, economist and former Cabinet Minister in the Fi- garo. Paul Leroy Beaulieu, another economist, says that public loans nee essary after the war will amount to $S,OOO,OOO,OOO. Europe win look to the United States to provide it with mon ey. Germany will probably have to pay indemnity of $4,OOO,OOO,OOO to $5,- OOO,OOO,OOO says Nj. Beaulieui this she could do by merely taxing alcohol and tabacco.
