WIN IN DARDANELLES

LONDON, August l2.-The allies have now trebled their holdings in the Dardauelles region and are constantly making headway that promises an early consummatiou of their hopes so far as Turkey is concerned. General von Sanders has been superseded in the command of the Turkish army by the Duke of MecNenburg as the Ger man general staff is dissatisfied with the result of the fighting around the Dardanelles up to the present. The encouraging news coming from that quarter has tended to relieve the pes simistic feelings created by the Rus sian defeat. Lloyd George has now added an invention branch to the min istry of munitions as the United States government has done for its navy department In the the British invention branch will be forty scien- tists whose business it will be to i'm prove the means of waging warfare.

WHAT KAISER OFFERED

PETROGRAD, August I2.-The newspapers here today confirm the statement that the kaiser offered a spearate peace to Russia and they publish what they believe to have been the terms. They declare that Germany offered Galicia to this country and also offered it the free passage of the Dardane,les in re- turn for Russia's agreement to giving Egypt to Turkey The integrity of the Russian border would have beer guaranteed if it did not interfere with settling with the allies who remained in the war. Germany. it is assumed, intended to either hold Poland and the Baltic states or to establish in the former country semi-autonomy under the suzerainty of the kaiser's govern ment. The full offer of Germany has not yet been made known but all Rus sia agrees that the refusal of the of fer was the right course.

PETROGRAD, August 12.-It is now generally believed that this city, the capital of Russia, is the objective of the German armies. The latest drive inaUgurated by the Germans in to the interior near Kovno has creat- ed this belief. This capital is be- tween 600 and 700 miles from War saw but from Kovno it is only some 400 miles to the capital of the em- pire. From Riga to Petrograd the distance is about 800 miles and as the Germans have now established a firm base at Riga the conception of an at tack on this has come to appear not so extraordinary as it would have seemed a few months ago. Much would depend on the ability of the German fleet to clear the Baltic of our fleets as that sea would provide the enemy with the most perfect route.

DECISION ON

JUDGE JENNINGS SUSTAINS DEMURRER AGAINST THE
 FIRST DIVISION.

JUNEAU, August 11.-Judge Jen- nings has sustained the demurrer of the territory in the case brought by representatives of the First division to prevent the division of the forest funds equally over all Alaska. The First division holds that most of the forest funds are received from lands in that division and that the other divisions have no right to their use. The decision of Jennings gives the rest of Alaska first blood. In an opinion on the case the court refused to declare constitutional the action of the legislature in dividing the forest funds as it did.

NEW SCHOOL PLANS ARE
 ADOPTED BY COUNCIL
Municipal Governing Body Again Forced to Back Down by
 Lack of Funds.

New plans for the improvement of the school building were adopted last night and the plans formerly accept ed were abandoned. The plans of Architect Kingsley were accepted be- fore and bids were actually called for and received on those plans, but the city council has finally had it ham mered into their heads that their con- duet of the citys affairs has brought it to the edge of bankruptcy and it was found necessary last night to adopt new and cheaper plans which were the same plans offered previous ly but refused. Architect Winstedt's plans are the ones now accepted. They embody the idea of using the lower floor of the school building, or the basement as some people call it, and they will save the city something like two thousand dollars. At the time the architects presented their plans before, the city fathers said hang the expense, but talking and writing and shouting has finally shown them where the city has been placed by them financially. The plans of Mir. Kingsley which have now been turned down are said by the council to be perfect and they have been fore ed to give them up only because of the depleted state of the city treas ury, and after the council bosses found that the taxpayers were going to stand for no inflated taxation to enable the council to meet the out rageous bills due to it's almost inex- plicable extravaganza. Even as it IS the change of plans means the loss of the fees paid to Mir. Kingsley, but, gracious, the city is lucky if that's all it will have to meet before the change of council comes.

THE SAME IN WEST

LONDON, August 12.-The west ern conflict continues without decisive change. Minor battles take place from time to time at various parts of the front but without positive gains or losses. The military experts ex- press the belief that before winter sets in the Teutons will put forth their most extreme efforts in that theatre. At present the German at tempts are mostly confined to com pleting the circle around the fortress of Verdun but, although they have gained some temporary advantages, the French are holding them, general ly speaking.

TO CAPTURE TEXAS

WASHINGTON, August 12.-That the aim of the Mexicans is to create an uprising amongst the Mexicans in Texas and to capture that state and add it once more to the Mexican re- public is the amazing fact which has now been fully proven. President Wilson is preparing a statement to the Mexican factions which amounts to nothing less than an ultimatum. It will probably be the last step taken by this government before it orders an attack on Mexican territory.

Some days ago the bank was found to have been robbed and Perrin was discovered locked up in the safe. He declared that bandits had put him in the safe by force after rifing it of its contents. Several circumstances tended to direct sus- picion on him and under a severe searching he broke down today and made the confession.

* {. (: (: * *. * * * % * * * HOBEN LAUDS THE {" * INLET BALL TEAMS. ."

Manager Harry Hoben, of the vict- orius baseball team cannot find words enough to prasie the gameness and general qualities of the Knik and An chorage teams. He also has partic- ular word of praise for the people of Knik who showed our boys the most marked friendship and courtesy in every way. When Seward left Knik to play at Anchorage nearly all Knik went with them and rooted for them like thunder. Harry says Anchorage has some swell players but their team work was drawback. Amongst them were oldtimers who formerly made the Seward bunch look like thirty cents. Those were Amund- sen, Kerwood and Spike Malone, who have played ball for a long time on this coast. A pitcher named Brown who was said to be a big leaguer was put on against Seward on what was expected to be the big game. A big lot of money went up on that exhibi- tion but it resulted in Seward winning by about a dozen to one single run. The captain of the Anchorage bunch is Powie whom Hoben calls blank of a good fellow like his men. The homesteaders usually managed to hold down the visitors until the sixth or seventh innings but then team work told Of the five games played Manthey pitched two, Darlington two, and Nickerson one. Strange to say, Carrie was the beaten one but there by hangs a tale which the laws of hospitality forbids us to unfold. Crit Tolman caught for Seward in four of the games and van Houten caught the fifth.
 One of the remarkable things about the games was the pitching of Gus. Hoben says he was back to his old style and did wonders. Captain Campbell was, as usual, brilliant in the handling of the men and in his individual work, but Harry says that if he had to pick out one man from the team who had particularly dis tinguished himself that man would be Phil Hickey. "He found everything" says Harry. Indeed, whenever a ball flew towards Hickey the crowd mur- mured "Its all off. Stamps has it." Home Run Reed got one three bagger and played well at first. Finnegan played fine but was knocked out by a fast ball from the pitcher that blackened his eye. Otto POehlman was incapacitated by a blow on the arm in one game. Harry also has a good word for Taylor and Adams.
 If any other accidents besides those to Finnegan and POehlman had oc- cured the result might have been dis astrous. The lineups are coming by boat. In telling of the tour Harry be- gan by boosting the teams opposed to his aggregation, and the people of Knik, and he finished up by boosting the teams opposed to Seward, and the people of Knik-always, though, the people of Knik-eternally the people of Knik. There must be a pretty girl or something in Knik.
 Well, the Seward boys did splendid ly, and here's to them! Some day Seward may tackle that Juneau, Douglas and Treadwell bunch.

MEXICANS TO REVOLT

BROWNSVILLE, August 12.- General Funston reports that three thousand Mexican residents of Texas have been pledged already to begin the uprising which has for it's object the taking of Texas from the United States. One company of the Ninth infantry enroute to Brownsville has been ordered to detrain at Kingsville where the disturbance is spreading and where brisk fighting is expected immediately. One Mexican rancher in the neI5hborhoOd has notified the authorities that eighty Mexican raid CTS are concealed on his ranch ready to begin the attack when the time comes. It is reported that Carranza and his officials are partially respon- sible for the raids and have given the raiders every encouragement. It is certain that many of the men now turning the state into another Mexico have guns usually used by the Car ranza army and have been fighting under his command. The United States cavalry has already succeeded in driving several bands of the raid CTS across the frontier into their own country and the rest of the state is now being secured.
