Germans Preparing for Winter Cam
 paiQn.


 ROTTERDAM. Oct. 14.-The Ger mans are pushing forward with the utmost vigor their preparations for a winter campaign. Until recently, ap- parently, they had not conceived of such an eventuality. In the last few weeks, however. they have learned much. All the high-class shops that formerly did nothing but make the best fur garments for ladies are bus fly engaged in the manufacture of sheepskin clothing for the soldiers. No fewer than 150.000 fur coats have been delivered, presumably for the use of officers, and 20O0,OO0 sheep and lamb skins have been bought by the government for winter garments for the men. Considerable difficulty has been experienced in procuring these skins, as Austria and the Balkans. whence most of them come, already have forbidden their export. but these difficulties have, 1t is said. been over- come by the purchase of all skins bought for glovemaking, and the men who are ordinarily employed in the glove industry have been withdrawn from the ranks. and now are working day and night to provide those in the field with skin clothing. For the cavalry special leather leg protect ors are being made out of leather in- tended for gloves. In Belgium an epidemic has broken out among the German cavalry horses. In the Den der Valley a thousand horses became affected and after three days had to be destroyed.

German Warships Install Big Guns.
 COPENHAGEN, Oct. t14.-Traveh CTS arriving from the Kiel Canal say that the Germans are busy placing on the armored cruisers and dread. noughts new ordnance. which the Krupp works has been experiment. ing with for two years. The canal Is described as being crowded with war. ships, including the largest battle ships. The arsenals are busy day and night, and Iong trains arrive con tinuously with immense guns for the ships. The Germans are reported as asserting that the whole fleet will soon be ready to fight.
 If the Krupps had their way Ger many's dreadnoughts would all be provided with bed plates for placing on board ship their famous siege how itzers. These howitzers. as far as authentic records show. Are 11.2.inch shells. These weapons are the same as were used to reduce the forts at Liege, Namnr. Maubeuge and Ant werp.
 Although from an engineering point of view there Is no obstacle to plac- ing howitxer weighing twenty-eight tons on board a German dreadnought. its firing would be a matter that gun ners would view differently. This would be an experiment that might revolutionixe naval warfare.
 Previous tests of high-angle firing by high power howitzers on shipboard have not been successful. In the civ il war the mortar was employed on floats in the running of the New Or leans blockade. but aside from this experience. high-ansle firing has nev- CT been popular with the gunners of any navy.

WILL NOT RUSH OUR RAILROAD
Edes Says 1t Will Be 1916 Before the Work Starts On Alaska System
 of Railroads.

SEATTLE, June 5.-The steamer Northwestern will leave here on Sat urday for the north with Commis- sioners Edes and Mears. of the Alaska engineering commission, and with 80 men they are taking with them for the work of surveying the proposed government line across Alaska.
 Ninety horses will also be taken north on the Northwestern by the commission and will be used to take the supplies of the survey parties from place to place.
 The Northwestern will land the party at Ship creek, near Kenai, where the headquarters of the commission will be established.
 Commissioner Edes, president of the board of engineers, in an address to the engineering society of this city, stated today that the commission did not expect that the work on the Alas ka railroad would commence until the year 1916, as the surveys will re- quire all of this year and large part of next year before the commis- sion would be in possession of the data upon which it would be possible to recommend the road best adapted for the opening of Alaska and which u-o1,ld ho tho choanest and most ecO- nomical to operate the year round.
 The commissioner stated that the expenditure of $35,OOO,OOO was no small matter and mistakes would be costly and especially in a new coun- try it would be best to secure all the data available.
