SAYS LACK OF AMMUNI- TION DELAYS
 WORK.

PARIS, April 7.-The French have increased the offensive between the rivers Mouse and Moselle and are striking at the German wedge that has been driven in at St. Mihiel. The French have been successful in an en- gagement to the northwest of Verdun but it is admitted that tke allies are not yet waging the offensive that has been expected and the people had looked for in spring.
 Lord Kitchener says that the reason for the delay in starting the great movement is a lack of ammunition. He has made statements of this nature before but the lack still is evident.

A NEW PLACER
 FIND IN CHISANA.

SKAGWAY.-A report has reached here that pay has been located on Will son creek in the Cbisana district. The extent Of the paystrcA< is as yet un- known, but it is stated to be sufficient to have started other claim owners on the creek to begin active operations.
 Miners who have been in toe CHis' ana, express no surprise over the find ing of a paystrea& on Wilson creek, and are inclined to place trust in the report. If the news of the find IS confirmed, it is probable a number of men who have been spending the winter in the Southeastern and South western Alaska towns, will at once leave for the scene of the strike.

LANE AT CAPITAL
 BUT STILL SILENT

by an engineering corps of the army. The statement some time ago that the engineering commission would not di- rect the construction work is found to have no foundation. It is known that dredges and barges will be shipped from Panama and this has led to the belief that work will take place at Ship creek without question. But that is all that could be stated with abso- lute certainty at present although all the facts hitherto forwarded as to the selection of route and terminal are correct. Nothing is waited now but the final official word of President Wilson or Secretary Lane.

Baron Burian, the new Austrian minister of foreign affairs, has a heavy load to carry in his new ca- pacity. It is claimed that his ap- pointment was caused by the ill., feeling in Hungary against the Aus trian conduct of the war. The baron being a Hungarian appeased the feelings of his countrymen and set about to secure better organization of the defense against Russia. He achieved his purpose with the aid of the German general staff and Gen. eral von Hindenburg, whose constant drives at Warsaw finally forced the Russians to give up their hold on Hungary. The picture shows Baron Burian in Berlin. where h. had gone after his appointment for cohsulta- tion with the Kaiser.
