for the wholesale firm of Meyer & Al
bert, and is the son of Mrs. John
Macke of this city.

(Iowa) committee, will give an illus
trated lecture on water Terminals"
One feature, which promises to be
of the greatest interest, will be
series of addresses on some Of the
projects which were most violently at
tackled during the consideration of the
Rivers and Harbor Bill. Senator
Salisbury, of Delaware, will speak on
"The Chesapeake and Delaware
Cana" Senator Fletcher, of Florida,
on 'The Trinity River" and Repre-
sentative Baker, of California, on
1.-THE Sacramento and Feather Riv-
ers."
Following each of these addresses
will be given for free dis
question. Another feature of interest
will be an address by Representative
]. Hampton Moore, president of the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways Associa-
ton, on "The Pork Barrel"

we'll as the largest, in the history Of
the organization.
While the program is not by any
means completed, it is already evident
that, in the interest and Importance
of the addresses made, the eleventh
convention will, to say the least, not
suffer in comparison with those that
have gone before. President Wilson
has been invited to make the opening
address, and it is hoped that lie may
be able to be present. Definite ae-
ceptance has been received from the
Chinese Minister, Mr.. Kai Flu Shah,
who will tell of the waterways of his
country-at once the oldest of ma
tons and the youngest of republics
which have been in constant use for
thousands of years. Acceptances have
also been received from Senators
Weeks, of Massachusetts,; Simmons, of
North Carolina, and William Alden
Smith, of Michigan; from Speaker
Champ Clark, and from former Gov.
Charles S. Deneen, of Illinois. For
mer Mayor Magee, of Pittsburgh, will
speak on the need of Lake Erie and |
Ohio River Ship Canal. John H. Barn
hard, of New Orleans, the builder of
a new type of self-propelled barges,
will talk of "Our Unused Waterways"

state militia forces to be 128,043 men.
The reports, however, indicate that
there are only 93,277 men actually
available for duty in the state militia
forces. The increase, therefore, con-
templated by the plans under consid-
Grafton for the development of the
state militia forces, is about five times
that of the number available today.
The conditions OF the land defensive
army of the national forces in the
United States is something approxim-
ating that of British Government at
the beginning of the European war. 1t
is frankly admitted by officers who
have nominal supervision over the
citizen soldiers of the United States
that, with the exception of New York,
Wisconsin, Massachusetts, Pennsylva-
mia and Michigan, the militia forces
of the country are at lower standard
of efficiency than the organization of
the territorials of England, whose du-
ties are about the same as those of the
state militia organizations in this
country.
1t is the purpose of the Government
to invite the cooperation of the stater
in an effort to encourage greater de-
gree of interest in the development
and efficiency of this branch of nation
al defense.
1t is the belief Of the officials of the
Government that a patriotic appeal to
the young men of the COUNTRY to vol

summation of those of the Govern
ment.
The general staff and war college
have been at work for more than two
months working out the details of a
system that probably will be recon-
mended by the Secretary of War in
his annual report, and presumably
with the sanction of the President.
There has not, of course, been any
public announcement made regarding
the reorganization of the land forces
of the country. On the contrary, the
utmost reticence is manifested.
From what can be learned, however,
it is probable that any steps looking
to the better protection of the country
do not contemplate any increase in the
regular army, but will be more direct
ly devoted to the enlargement of the
militia forces of the states. The near
est basis for this reorganization reach
ed by the experts centemplates the
creation of a volunteer reservist force
to bring the az State Militia forces to
100000 men, who can be ready for ac-
tive military duty within three weeks.
The regular army at present con-
sists of 4572 officers and 88,444 en-
listedmen. The authorizedfull strength
of the regular land forces on a war
basis is 4728 officers and 96,977.

partment from the Adjutants-G General

unteer for training in the army will
enlist the cooperation of men in all
walks of life.
One Of the details of the new plan
contemplates the establishment of Z
permanent training camp in each state
during a period of from four to 81
months every year. These are to be
run on a uniform schedule of training
to conform to the methods of the reg
uiar army.

VALDEZ CREEK
 OPERATOR HERE George w. Sias, Who Has Been De- veIopins Interior Ground, Arrives
 Had Good Season.

George w. Sias, president of the Valdez Creek Power & Mines Co.,, ar rived in Valdez last night at mid night. having come from Cordova on launch. MT. Sias made the trip from the mines to Valdez in five days Speaking of the work under way on Valdez creek MT. Sias said: We have constructed a new ditch one and a quarter miles in length, eight feet on the bottom, four feet deep and fifteen feet at the top, which with it's fall of one-quarter inch to the rod gives us $500 miners inches of water every twenty-four hours. We have built big penstock, Hume, have laid over one mile of pipe, which was riveted and laid by Alfred H. Bryant, who has had sixteen years experience in the Kenai district, and we also had two experts sent by the pipe manufacturers in San Francisco. We have also constructed 200 feet of Hume five feet wide, three feet high with a grade of eight inches to every twelve feet and are now op- erating the plant.
 The cleanup this fall will be a good one in spite of the. fact that the big hydraulic plant has been in operation for but a few weeks, as the better part of the season has been spent in construction work. Next year the returns will surprise the people of this section, as the ground has been well prospected before we went to the expense of sending in the big plant and the supplies needed. An outfit of 26O tons was sent to the ground last winter"
 MT. Sias will leave on the Admiral Watson for Boston, the headquarters of the company. and will arrange to send a No. 3 Keystone drill and the provisions for the next seasons work.
 The Valdez creek placer mines were discovered ten years ago but nothing was done with them for some years, until MT. Sias. who is a miner of long experience, investigated the ground, demonstrated it's value and induced Boston capitalists to join with him in it's development and since that time $750,000 has been spent by the company in making it's payments and opening the property. A force of fifty-four men were employed during the past summer under the personal supervision of Mr. Sias, who is presi- dent of the cOmnany

MANY MISSING FROM TAH0MA Fifty-four Persons Picked Up So Far Boats Are Still Searching But
 Short of Fuel.

U. s. Marshal Brenneman this morning received a wireless report from Deputy Marshal Hastings, now on the steamer Cordova, stating that fifty-four of the survivors of the rev
 enue cutter Tahoma had been picked up by the Cordova. The message was
 dated September 18th and was de. iayed in transmission because of wire
 less troubles to the westward. The message also states that the Coast and Geodetic Survey boat, Pat terson, and government boat named Kodiak, are at the scene hunting for
 the missing members of the crew and
 passengers from the Tahoma but so far without success. The Patterson on the night of September 28th had two days fuel, besides the necessary fuel to take her to the nearest pos sible port for replenishment of her
 bunkers, while the Kodiak had only
 three days supply.
 Interpreter Slftof, a number Of Wit nesses and possibly A. c. Goss are
 in one of the missing boats and as
 far as can be figured from thirty to fifty are missing.
 The Tahoma carries crew of
 about eighty men and had aboard a number of witnesses besides the crew
 of a vessel wrecked on Semichi Is.
 land and picked up by the Tahoma the day previous to the wrecking of
 the Tahoma.
 The Cordova left for the scene on the evening of the 18th and is com ing direct to Prince William Sound, possibly Valdez, with the survivors aboard.

GermanY'a Vast Army

LONDON, Sept. 30.-A dispatch 10 the Evening Star from Rotterdam says that during the first nineteen days of the war more than twenty six hundred trains, bearing 2,0O0,OOO troops for the western theatre of the war, passed over the five bridges over the Rhine at Cologne.
 Notwithstanding this enormous army, endorsements still are being hurried to the front, not only to take the place of the huge number of kill ed and wounded, but to carry out the German plan that, so far as possible, fresh troops be hurled at men who already have borne the burden of the day. In addition to the tremendous siege guns of the Germans, ordinary field pieces have been hurried for ward.
 An American who has just arrived from Cologne, says the Stars .orres- pondent, states that he met wound ed German officer who told him that the success of the Germans was due entirely to the fact that the troops always had rest after an engage ment. The army corps were being used in shifts to keep them fresh.

German Riqht Is Broken.


 LONDON, Sept. 30.-The German right wing has been broken and is fleeing before the Franco-British troops, according to reports received here from Paris. The allies are pur- suing the retreating Germans, using every available means for transport ing the infantry to the front so that the German rear guard can always be overwhelmed by numbers. All auto mobiles from Paris have been taken by the army officers for use of the allies, who are determined to take every possible advantage of the sit uation.
 Peronne Again In Hands of French.
 The French troops again occupy the city of Peronne, having complete ly routed the forces of General von Boehm, who is retiring towards the Belgian border. The French have started an attack on the German cen ter to prevent endorsements being sent to the German right.

ROTTERDAM, Sept. 30.-With the German preparation to capture the city of Antwerp, The Netherlands fears that both Germany and Eng land will violate the neutrality of the lowlands. The British are showing much opposition to the Dutch. claim ing that the large imports coming into Dutch ports are merely for the Germans and the German military men have shown disposition to in- wade Holland if The Netherlands ceases to allow the large imports. The foreign minister is striving to satisfy both sides but is unable to give way to one without securing the animosity of the other and the gen. eral opinion is that Holland will be in the war within week following the active siege of Antwerp.
