 ALLIES ON SEA Is ABSOLUTE

mand, while existing factories have been enlarged. This is being done in England as well as in France, and ammunition and war material of all kinds is now beginning to ac- cumulate. It will undoubtedly, however, and in spite of the utmost efforts, be a long time before the ammunition in reserve will be plenti- ful enough to justify a general at tack against the German positions, because whenever this attack Is be- gun it will have to be kept up night ard day by the allies if it is to ultimately prove successful
 Al the Dardanelles the allies have sattlel down for a long siege. The difficulties of operations there haze been fully realized, but there can be no doubt that they will eventually result in opening the strai-3 and in the fall of Constan- tinCple. As to the probable dura- tiou of operations there one can say but l.ttle-it may take months, CT it may be accomplished in a few weeks.
 The fact of Italy joining in the war has not yet had any perceptible effect on the other allies fronts and will not for a while. The Ger mans and AuGtrians have had all the time on the Italian frontier enougr men to act on the defensive against any attack that Italy might make and, therefore, have not yet found it necessary to transfer men iron the other fronts. If they have to do so i9 the future 1t will undoubtedly relieve the pressure on the French and Russian fronts. Russia has lately been com pelIed to retrea. along her Galician frout, but her armies have not been defeated.
 Russia has today as many men in the field as she ever had, and it IS only a matter of time when she will regain the lost ground. This is the sixth time that the Austro-German offensive, strongly delivered at one point, has succeeded in forcing back the Rus sians, but each time the Russians have come back just as strong as before. The aim of Russian strat- egy is not at present to acquire ter ri-ory, but to hold on the Eastern front all of the forces that are now opposed to her there, so as to pre- vent any of those troops being sent to help on the western front. After nine months of campaign, the Austro-Germans have. not been able to reduce the number of their troops on the Russian front, but on he contrary have had to continu- ously send reinforcements, together with large quantities of ammunition

H. Maluin, wife and child, ar rived Wednesday morning on the Princess Alice, enroute to Atlin, where they have mining interests on Otter creek, having left Paris on the 18th of May.
 MT. Maluin, when interviewed by q representative of the Daily Alas kan, stated:
 Regarding conditions in France, the people of that country have settled down for a war to last un- til the end of 1916, any way. When we left France all preparations were being made for another win ter campaign. The people of France realizing that the war would last longer than was at first expected, are how all quiet. and working with all their energy in their respective capacities. towards achieving success. The French army. actually at the front numbers about 100000 men; the reserves, in readiness to fight a moments notice, number about 2,O0O,OOO men, and there are about S00,00O men who have not yet been called It Is apparent from this that there Is an ample number Of men to hold the Germans in check; in fact, two-thirds of Frances mili- tafy forces are not doing any fight ims at the. present tlme.
 "The same may be said of the British troops, the; number of their men actually at the front cannot exceed 100000, as the front held by the British forces is .32 miles. By having one man touching the next one in the trenches it does not take more than 5G,000 men in the first line of trenches to hold 32 miles of front. The others are in tNe reserves. The total num- Der of trained British troops is, oi course, larger than 2G05000 and some are disseminated in the northern part of France at different bases in large camps awaiting the moment that they will be needed There are also hundreds of thous- ands of British troops in India, Egypt, all British colonies, at the Dardenelles, in the Gulf of Persia, etc.
 "The actual organization of both the French and the English troops is as perfect in every way as were the German and Austro-Hungarian organizations in the beginning. The only handicap the allieG have in a general advance to drive the invad- CTS cut of France and Belgium is the lack of ammunition, artillery and other war materials. Neverthe- less, they are overcoming this draw back at a great rate of speed and new factories have been built and machine shops erected for the pur- pose O. supplying the increased de-

The day before Bruce landed Hunt re-
ceived cable in which he was in
formed that their old enemy was go
Ing to attempt to run the blockade
again, with diamonds as usual. And
one of the remarkable phases of these
exploits of Bruce's was the fact that
he invariably sold gems in Holland as
starter but brought the bulk of
them into the United States.
The officials knew that he had con-
federates, some above him in power
and some below. Chief among those
of the first order were Nine Du Val
and Captain Radcliffe. a man without
country. Radcliffe was patiently in
not put from her thoughts the man
Baird. The fact that he had gone over
to the other side in an attempt to re-
habilitate himself did not lessen the
woman's admiration. AS the pseudo
Hassam she had had some power over
him, but as reporter on one of the
big newspapers he had passed beyond
the reach of her arm.
Somewhere she had seen painting
by the late Alma -Tadema, and she had
under the inspiration fixed up what
she called Il Greek salon. She really
possessed excellent taste. In the cen
tel there was a fountain surrounded
! by plants. The water tinkled merrily
at all times. but sometimes the stream
suddenly fell aslant which indicated
that some one was behind the secret
panel.
! On the night before the arrival of
Bruce with his i'll gotten gems madame
was In the salon, playing idly with
an AngOra kitten. 1t is fact that
these tiger women always have kit
tens about. Suddenly she noted the
slant of the jet of water. She sum-
moned an attendant and nodded mean
| ingly toward the wall. The footman
went over swiftly, touched knob,
ing a small elevator. Out of this step
ped Captain Radcliffe, something of a
dandy in appearance. but at heart a
shady rogue. He crossed the room
swiftly. making no effort to conceal
his sentiments. But she adroitly evad-
ed him.
Take care, captain. No sentiment,

"Your word is law" he replied, bow

That's the way to talk! Come on,

At the piers on cases like this Hunt
generally donned the regulation uni.
form and the regular inspectors did
not interfere with his work. SO when
Bruce came down the gangplank the
detective greeted him.
"I'll take care of you, Mr.. Bruce.
You will not have to bother with the
usual formalities."
Anything Is agreeable so long as

The only diamond found on Mr.. Bruce
was set I'm his fob. Hunt shrugged.
"Give 1t up?" said Bruce, grinnlng.
For today, Mr. Bruce. Good day"
Bruce started for the exit, looking
about for taxi. Hunt waved his
hand toward the spot where Baird lay

gesture to indicate that he was assign.
