BATTLE IN POLAND.
GERMANS FORCE WAY ACROSS
AND TURNED INLAND WEST
OF DIxMUDE.
GERMANS REENF0RCEMENTS
Kaiser Rushes Requirements to
Maintain ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Bat
tie at River Yser-British Lose
500 Prisoners-Hain Pours.

London, Oct. 25.-Hurled back from
the coast by the fire of the French and
British warships, the German troops,
after a week of the most violent fight
ing, have turned inland and forced
their way across the User canal, west
of Dixmude.
Pressing their advantage, the Ger
mans in mighty effort to gain a vic
tory, continue rushing forward all the
requirements that can be spared,
and in their official reports claim to
be slowly, but definitely pushing the
allies back
OF the gains claimed by the Ger
mans, the French reports confirm the
crossing of the User canal, but de-
clare very violent battle still is
raging between Newport and the river
Lys. At this point the Germans claim
to have taken 500 British prisoners.
OF the battles on the center and
left wing, the German report does not
speak, but the French declare they
are maintaining their positions in the
Argonne and on the heights of the
Meuse and have destroyed three more
German batteries. From unofficial
sources it is learned that the French
have made some advance in the
mountains along the Alsace border.
Rain Adds to Misery.
To add to the trials of the troops
engaged in the northwest a short spell
of fine weather has given place to
another downpour Of rain which will
convert the lowlands of Flanders into
great lakes.
Many of the German soldiers at Dix
nude have come from Berlin within
the last few days. Arriving at the
scene of battle they have been sent
at once into the trenches, which were
waist deep with water. The Belgians
under cover of fog, approached the
trenches and at the point of the bayo
net, made prisoners of large number
of the invaders. At the same time
the contest was resumed at numerous
other points, but the result was differ
ent and the casualty lists were large
Advance of Allies Encourages.
The fact that the allies have ad
vanced appreciably east of Newport
as officially announced, has helped tC
reassure them, since in this vicinity
the British naval guns hardly could
continue to exercise an influence in
gaining ground. The slight retro
gression at other points, which, it Is
considered was counterbalanced by
progress some where else, was con
sidered as inevitable in a great con
flict of this kind, and apparently il
did not cause the slightest discourage
ment.
The strategic consequence of this
battle in the north, it is felt in some
quarters, will be greater to the Ger
mans than to the allies. If it SHOULD
be necessary for the latter to with
draw, it would be upon the norma
lines of the allies without risk, it j!
declared, and the bending of the lief
wing would not compromise the stu

Flames Follow Explosion.

The fire followed a gas explosion
that occurred five minutes before the
miners were to begin work. About 50
men had not entered the shaft. but
the others had gone down and begun
to be scattered to the various work
ings
The sound of the explosion was
heard in Royalton and every adult
person in town, except the telephone
operator, hurried to the mine. Rescue
parties quickly were organized and
help was summoned from surrounding
towns. Gas in the mine, however,
prevented the rescuers from penetra-
ting more than 1900 feet into the
workings and they were unable to
reach the 105 men entrapped on a
lower level, which was in flames. One
hundred and fifty men, however, were
taken from the mine unframed, but
more than so of these had been over
come by gas. Two died at the sur
face

dez split will extend to no other part of the Territory. for everywhere else. there seems to be growing tendency for unity and good fellow ship.
 As an indication of how the Dem ocrats are getting together for their common good. the following extract from an editorial in a late issue of the Ruby Record Citizen is herewith reproduced:
 The harmony and goodfellowship in the Ruby Democratic club. as shown at both the Wednesday eve, ming and Saturday evening meetings of last week. is unmistakable evi, dence of political progress and a de, sire to observe the most sacred principles of true Democracy.
 Where so many are gathered to. gether with the avowed principle that every man has the same right to think for himself as every other there is bound to be differences of opinion and discussion. but there should be no dissension.
 The political club. like the poll tical party from which it springs may be made one of the strongest instruments for progress and the bet torment of conditions. or 1t may be made the shackles of political slav' cry and boss rule tyranny" Although the Fairbanks Democrats were somewhat disappointed as a result of the action of the Central committee in giving the convention to Skagway. after it had been prom
 ised to this city. they have made no issue out of the matter and are determined not to let anything come up to interfere with the vital issue that is before them all.
 It is not often that the members of a party work in such unison as the local Democrats are doing now It is up to the influential members of the Panama Valley Democratic club still further to promote this condition. and 1t is quite certain that they will do 30.

OUR APPRECIATION.

The Alaska Citizen assures it's many friends of the appreciation it feels for the encouragement they are giving its plan of starting daily edition beginning July l. If there is any resident of Fairbanks. not directly or indirectly interested in one of the other daily papers. who has found serious fault with The Citizens plans. neither the owner nor the employees of this newspaper have heard anything about it.
 Everybody knows. of course, that the local field Is small one for three daily newspapers, but they also know that if any of them fails, it must be the weakest In buying newspapers, just as in purchasing anything else the public selects that which is the best for the money. This knowledge makes The Citizen determined to carry out it's plans at any cost of being the best daily newspaper in Alaska, just as it has been in the past as weekly. The Citizen. however, will continue as a weekly, also.

better equipped mentally through her study of public questions. made nee essary 10 exercise the duty of sui. frage. and through the responsibili. ties suffrage will impose upon her.
 Such a mother will be a closer companion to her sons. She will have more in common with them. and her influence over them, grow. ing out of her companionship with them. will be more effective. The same will be true of the relation. ship between husband and wife. In my judgment. woman will benefit directly from suffrage. man indirect ly. but both will benefit. and there fore favor It."
 The foregoing Is an appeal to req son, and it is safe to say that such arguments will do more to aid the women In their fight for political rights than all the lawlessness i'm aginable can accomplish. Very little that Is worth while in this world is accomplished by arbitrary force, while sentiment and reason can move any political obstacle ever known.

will add materially to the importance of these gatherings in the future.
 The business of raising animals for their valuable pelts is comparx. lively new. IL developed naturally as a result of the tremendous in. crease in their value.
 Civilization has steadily encroach- ed on the domain where the trapper once held full sway. The animals CT back. in diminished and diminish. ing numbers.
 Coupled with this scarcity was an increased demand. The greater wealth of the world materially in creased the number of those in a position to pay for such articles of adornment and the market enlarged on every hand.
 The inevitable result of these two conditions was an appreciation of values that sent particularly coveted skins to astounding price heights.
 Fox farming was attempted on Prince Edward Island and the sue cess attending the efforts of the pioneers in that field attracted the attention of other investors.
 The islands of the Alaska coast have latterly come in for much fav- orable attention by those contemplat- ing such enterprises, as they are considered ideal for the purpose.
 The government has granted leases to operators and the North. erners-many of them old-time sour doughs" to embark in the business on generaous scale.
 They do not contemplate confin- ing their attention solely to foxes, however. but will try diversified farming raising other animals that possess valuable furs.
 Their work is particularly inter- esting to Seattle, for if the enter prises prove profitable. Seattle will become a fur market that will at tract buyers from all over the world"

Fairbanks will soon lose an ener. getic religious worker. whose nine years of service here has endeared | him to his associates and to the Indians in the Episcopal missions for whose moral uplift he has been striving. He. that is. the Rev. Charles Eugene Betticher, Jr., will sail for the Outside sometime next month. and will spend next fall and winter in lecturing on Alaska and religious work here.
 To his most intimate associates, MT. Betticher is known as the Lit tie Minister" but that Is a subject on which he has nothing to say. He likes Alaska. and says he has enjoyed his work here.
 Mir. Betticher's work in Fairbanks will be taken over by the Rev. H. H. Lumpkin. of South Carolina. who Is now on his way to this city. MT Betticher's Indian mission work will be assumed by Guy H. Madara. who is preparing to enter the ministry and will be ordained by the bishop when he arrives.
 MT. Betticher was born near Phil. adelphia. December 28. 1880. It might be said that he inherited the ministry. for his father was a pas tor His early education was in private schools in Pennsylvania and later he attended the state universi- ty of that state. though he did not graduate there. He graduated from the Philadelphia Divinity school in 1904, and received ordination to the diaconate on May 12. 1904.
 He spent three years at the Gloria Del (Old Swedes) church, in Phila- delphia. as a student and one year as assistant pastor. He came direct ly from that place here. It Is known as the "Old Swedes" church on ac. count of its having been built by the Swedish people. with material brought directly from Sweden. It is one of the oldest churches in the United States. Mir. Betticher was assistant pastor of the church in 1904 and 1905, but in the summer of the latter year he came to Fairbanks. where Archdeacon Stuck had built the church and hospital the year previous.
 For the first year after he arrived in Fairbanks. MT. Betticher stayed close to town, but after that he began

Give me pal. whole-souled pal. A man down to the ground, Whose big handclasp just makes you
 glad.
 Who's always stickin' round Just when you need friend the
 most;
 Whose big. broad back will stand Between you and the other man. Who tries the underhand. Give me pal who'll say of me, Though I am far away, Just bank on the word he tells you. You'll find it's just that way And I'd live up to what he said. Stand with him side by side With such a pal. well every day, I'd stand until died. Give me pal who scorns the style and all the petty things That go with flimsy fol-de-rols, Pretense and diamond rings: Who. to a low, unwholesome thing, Would ever scorn to stoop. Would cut convention out for me. And never give whoop.

COMMENT ON ALASKA FURs.

Seattle as a Fur Center" Is the title of an editorial recently appear Ing in a newspaper of that city. and the whole theme of the editorial Is the promise of Alaska's becoming a great fur-producing country, which, 1t is asserted. will make Seattle a market place for the furs raised here.
 As is usual. and perhaps natural. Seattle is looking to her own inter- ests when she boosts Alaska. But aside from this selfish feature of the editorial. 1t is logical. and is of considerable local interest. It is as follows:
 Fur farming in Alaska, if it proves as successful as some sanguine souls anticipate. will probably make Seat tie one of the worlds greatest mar kets of this trade.
 "The logic of events has caused two such sales to be held in this city. both attracting widespread at. tention. Increased output in Alaska
