rounded.
TAKE 10000 PRIsoNERS7
Berlin Message Declares That the Stu
alton in France Is Becoming
More Favorable to the
Germans.

London. Oct. 5.-The London Times
states that extraordinarily persistent
but unconfrmed rumors of a great vic
tory in the north of France are being
circulated in Paris.
The rumor states, according to the
Times, that General Won Kluck's army
is surrounded and that the German
crown prince has barely escaped, while
10000 prisoners have been taken, in
Guiding Won Kluck. The rumor adds
that $50 trains have been dispatched
to transport the prisoners.
Berlin Says Situation is Favorable.
Berlin. Oct. (by wireless to Lon
don.-The situation throughout the
entire theater of war is daily becoming
more favorable to Germany. Full conf
dence is felt in Berlin and a great de-
cision is expected soon.
The main headquarters of the army
reports that the encircling movements
attempted by the French against the
German right wing on October were
repulsed and the enemy's forces driven
from their positions.
On the center of the battle front the
situation IS unchanged.
The French attempted to advance
east of the Meuse by night and were
repulsed with heavy losses
In France, the French have been
elected from their positions to the
south Of Roye and repeated sorties
from the fortified positions of Toul
have been repulsed with heavy losses
Statement by French.
Paris, Oct. 5.-An official war. min
istry communique says:
'-On our left wing the struggle is at
its height in the region of Arras, with
out decisive result having yet been
obtained. The action has been less
violent between the valley of Ancre
(Albert) and the Somme and between
the Somme and the Disc. We have
progressed in the region of Soissons,
/ where some of the enemy's trenches
have been taken.
"On nearly all the rest of theGfront
| the lulI, aready reported, persists In
| the Woevre we have made somegprog-
ress between Apremont and the
Meuse and on the Ru de Made.
Poincare Leaves for Front.
President Poincare left Bordeaux'for
the battle front. But in his case 1t
will not be to take part in the strategy,
or to lead his troops in the field, but
to personally congratulate the French
soldiers on their gallant conduct. The
president was accompanied. by Pre-
mier Vfviani and Minister ofFWar Mil
lerand. The trip is being made In an
automobile and the first visit will be
made to the headquarters of General
Joffre. The party expects to be absent
from the temporary capital for three
or four days.
Losses indeed and wounded In the
battle which Is now in Its twenty
fourth day, have been so appalling
that the military officials have decided
to refrain even from estimating the
casualties until decision in the great
conflict at least is more imminent.

NO TIME FOR PEsslMIsM.

Praying for peace, hoping against hope that better counsels will yet pre- vail in Europe and avert the most deadly and devastating war of ages, the outlook darkens with the passing hours. Only through miraculous in. tervention, 1t now appears, can hos. tile nations be brought to reason and restraint.
 But it Is time for higher hope and stronger courage on the part of . peace-loving world-not time for pessimism and despair. Especially is this true of this singularly blessed country which looms so grandly by contrast with the embittered and war. ring powers.
 It is we'll to feel with the Dayton Journal that
 There is time coming when evil chancellories shall be overthrown when the battle bow shall be cut off when the Prince of Peace shall reign and His dominion shall be from sea even unto sea and from river even to the ends of the earth"
 Who knows but that the coming oi such a time is hastened by the i'm pending conflict? -- Seattle Post-Intel ligencer.

A COMPARISON.

The great statesmen of Europe were very pessimistic only little while ago over President Wilson's policy in Mexico. That policy has now brought the warning clements into conference, and peace is probably only question of a few days. Meantime the Mexican problem, which so far as Europe is concerned persists in the Balkans, may at any moment call millions of men into the field
 By patience and a refusal to listen to the promptings of ambition and greed, President Wilson prevented a great war. There was just as much urgency in his case as appear now at the various capitals of Europe. He withstood the pressure of jingoes, spectators and exploiters. While they worked for war he worked for peace.-New York World.

SUGAR TAKES ADVANCE
 LOCAL STRAWBERRIES SCARCE

Sugar has advanced $1.95 per hun dred weight since last Friday, and it may go higher although this is not ex- pected by local dealers. Flour is be- lieved to be the next commodity that will take an advance in price. This, local dealers say, Is liable to happen any moment. So far the European war has made little change in the price of food stuffs in the Juneau mar. kets and local dealers are not looking for any sharp advances. The beet sugar market has been largely con- trolled by the French product, and this is pointed out as a reason for the ad' vance in sugar.
 Strawberries are on hand but not in large quantities. This season the weather was unusual in the Chilkat valley and the Haines product is not nearly so large as was expected. Lo- cal dealers have pickers out now on Lynn canal gathering the wild straw. berries.

AUTOMOBILES BRING
 FAIRBANKS CLOSER

Fairbanks, for many years regarded as one of the most inaccessible settle ments in Alaska, has been removed from the category of Northern iron. tier towns, and is now considered one of the easiest places to reach in the territory. Many times this summer the distance of nearly 2,000 miles that separates Seattle from Fairbanks has been trayersed in less than eight days. In former years, when the journey was made by way of St, Michael and up- stream against the currents of the Yu- kon and Panama Rivers, the time oc- cupied averaged about thirty-four days, and in some cases 1t took considerably longer. The accomplishment of the journey in eight days may be said to be the realization of publicists dream.
 For many years the Fairbanks Times printed at the top of its editor. ial columns the slogan, Fairbanks to Seattle-eight days" Few thought the feat would be accomplished. None hoped that 1t would be exceeded. The Fairbanks Times consistently advo- cated the construction of wagon and automobile roads from the coast to the interior, and these have been built by the Alaska road commission. One roadway runs from Valdez through the Keystone Canyon to Fairbanks. The other connects with the Copper River & Northwestern Railroad at Chitina. When the road from Chitina to Fair banks was completed two weeks ago, number of automobiles made the journey over it, the average time be. ing thirty-fve hours. Chitina can be reached from Seattle, by steamship to Cordova and railroad from that point, in six days. The fastest time from Se- attle to Fairbanks so far is seven days and fifteen hours.
 St. Michael Route Abandoned.
 The St. Michael route for both freight and passengers was practically abandoned this spring. when the White Pass & Yukon Railroad purchased the holdings ot the Northern Navigation Company, and immediately proceeded to route all freight and passengers by way of Skagway and Whitehorse. In this manner a saving of ten to four. teen days was made in delivering freight, as the ships running from Whitehorse travel with the current most of the distance. instead of again. st 1t.
 The greater part of the freight that went by way of St. Michael came from San Francisco, but since the Skag- way route has been well established, practically all supplies used in the interior of Alaska have been purchas- ed in Seattle. and the San Francisco ocean sailings have been cancelled.
 The automobile road from Chitina to Fairbanks will not affect the de- livery of freight to Fairbanks, but will be used to a considerable extent by passengers who are desirous of mak. ing a rapid journey-Seattle Times.
