AUSTRIAN ARCH DUKE
 TO BE KING OF POLAND

as the new king of Poland and that he will be crowned soon in the cathed- ral of Warsaw is the report coming unoHicially today. A member of the Austrian family has been chosen for two reasons, one of which is that it was thought necessary to have a Catholic king for a country the vast majority of whose people belong to that faith. and the second reason is that Germany desires to remove the idea that it wishes to take all the fruits of the war to the exclusion of her ally. However, the news has not been confirmed by official authorities. It is assumed here that the TeutOns will immediately begin to organize the new kingdom and try to establish a Polish army with some Austrian and German divisions as nucleus. To give all Poles the advantage of the semi-autonomous government it will be necessary for Germany to relinQuish some of her own territory and it is doubtful if she will do so. No word has been uttered by the Rus sian government as to its intentions should a Poland under the suzerainty of the Teutons be established as a buffer kingdom between her and her enemies. and surmises are rife as to whether the czar's government will recognize the new kingdom and decide not to attack it in the effort to reach the Germans again. The latest phase of the wars results is regard ed here as most interesting and un- expected. The great question now is whether Poland can stand and shield Germany and Austria from further attacks from the east.

MATANUSKA
 ABOUT READY
SURVEY NEARLY FINISHED AND FORMS FOR LEASES HAVE
 BEEN DRAWN UP.

WASHINGTON, August 16.-It is announced that the survey of the Matanuska coal fields will be com pleted this fall, and it is also annOunc- ed that Secretary Lane has completed drawing up the forms for the leases. He has submitted the forms to men who operate coal mines to secure their opinions of them before publishing them or distributing them. The sur veyors have been working all the summer in the coal fields and have divided the ground into plots of the size to be leased by private individ- uals. It is thought likely that some leases may be taken this fall and winter but it is the general belief that no operating will be carried on until the railroad reaches the fields.

BRITISH LOST 12OOO OFFICERS

LONDON, August 16.-The total number of British officers killed dur ing the month of July was one hun dred and fifteen. The number wound ed in the same month was two hun dred and forty. This number is be- low the average for each months loss during the war and is supposed to be be due either to a greater care to prevent the enemy from distinguish ing officers or to the fact that the of fensive movements by the allies are not at present being carried on so frequently. The number of British officers killed during the entire war was four thousand and the number wounded was eight thousand, a total of losses which exceeds the total number of officers in the regular army at the beginning of the conflict.

It is re- ported that one American was mur- dered just across the line in reprisal but this story has not yet been sub stantiated.

J. L. MCPHERSON
 FOR ALASKA BUREAU. Pays Short Visit tO Seward as Part of Tour with Plan for 1917
 Celebration.

J. L. McPherson, secretary of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle chamb- CT of commerce, passed by on the Victoria yesterday having concluded a tour through Alaska whose object it was to get the Alaska cities to com bine with Seattle for the celebration of the semi-centennial of the terri torys purchase in that city and in AL aska cities. He had to keep going to Seattle this time but may return. He stated while here that the principal object of his visit was to learn at first hand from the people of Alaska how Seattle could help to make the 1917 celebration a success. The plan is to hold a festival in Seattle for a few days prior to the dates set for the celebrations in Alaska and to bring people to Alaska by the advertising the territory will receive from the celebrations. At the conclusion of the Seattle celebration the visitors would be invited north to attend celebra- tions held in the various Alaska towns on dates so arranged that the tourists might take them all in. Mir. McPherson says that Seattle has no desire to take away the interest of the people from the Alaska celebra- tions and only wants to assist so that all the celebrations may be success ful.

This hope is now growing less but that the losses to the enemy will be enormous is assured.

GERMANS CROSS NAREw

BERLIN, August l6.-The only news of importance from the eastern front this morning is that the Rus sians made a determined sortie from Kovno in the effort to hold back the Germans from the Warsaw-Petrograd railroad but were repulsed. The Germans have succeeded in crossing the Narew river after a stubborn fighting but beyond this fact the change in the relative positions of the hostile armies is very small. The newspapers here are again stating that the kaiser really offered a separ- ate peace to Russia.
