Seattle Detectives Believe Bodies will Be Found Near Wrangell
 NarrOws Channel.

JUNEAU, Dec. GA crew of men have been dragging Gastineau chan nel in the hopes of finding the bodies of William Christie or Capt. J. O. Plunkett, who are believed to have been victims of Edward Krause. A reward of $500 has been offered for the recovery of either of the bodies but it is feared that the efforts will be fruitless as the waters of Gasti- neau channel rarely gives up their dead
 The Juneau authorities have been advised by Captain Tennant, the Se- attle detective who arrested Krause, to drag the waters of the channel in the vicinity of Wrangell as he be- lieves that to be the most likely place where the body would be secreted. Tennant believes Krause murdered Plunkett on board of his launch and took the body away from the vicinity of the scene of the crime as the cries of his victim had been heard by peo- ple on the shore, who had been una ble to ascertain from which direction the sound came.

 Men in the Balkans.

PARIS, Dec. 6.--Senator Berenger, who has recently returned from the near East and who is familiar with the positions occupied by Abe Anglo French troops in Macedonia, believes that Gen.

 The Anglo-French troops were rushed into Serbia via saloniki 70 the assistance of the Serbs and have been forced to retreat before the feutonic and Bulgarian forces until they are making their last stand near the southeast corner of Serbia. The faIl- sre of Greece to accede to the de- naands of the Allies to permit of ad- litional troops being sent through Macedonia to the relief of the army, It is believed. will result in the whole force being wiped out.

HENRY F0RD'S PLAN
 WILL BE A FAILURE
Attempt to Organize Strike Among
 European Soldiers Regarded as Utterly Ridiculous.

PARIS, Dec. 6.-All Europe re- |gards Henry Ford's trip with his del egates as the most ridiculous incl dent of the present European war, and it is predicted that no good can result from the conference of unoffi- cial representatives of the neutral na- |tions.
 Paris was amused when it was re- ported from Berlin during the earlier stages of the war that British officers wearing patent leather shoes and dressed as though attending social function had been captured by the Germans in Belgium. The stories of football games between the Germans and Allies during lulls in the fight ing were regarded as interesting sporting events. but Ford's plan to end the war by causing the soldiers of the European countries to engage in a strike is regarded as ridiculous in the extreme.
 A member of the French chamber of, deputies in commenting on the peace rumors from Berlin and Vien- ma stated that there could be. would be, no peace until the Teutons had been driven back from France and Belgium. His declaration that his country would fight to the end rather than surrender a foot of territory, was loudly cheered by the members of the chamber.
