NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-The New York Herald prints story purport- inx to come from London which re- ports that serious trouble is brewing in England which may result in the entire British cabinet being forced to resign.

The Xuafre blame for Great Britain's en- tsa8ng the war is now being charged against the. foreign secretary, and several of the London dailies assert that had Sir Edward Grey remained firm that the war could have been avoided as Russia and France would not have. entered the struggle with out the promised support of Great Britain.
 It is reported that in the House of Lords, nearly every member of which has suffered the loss of one or more sons, the criticism of Sir Edward Grey was very bitter.

BETTER DEfENSES
 FAVORED BY ALL.
Canvass of Senators and Congress- men Shows that Administra-
 tion's Policy is Favored.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. b. It is reported in official circles here that a careful canvass of the mem bers of the senate and house of rep |resentatives has been made to ascer- tain their sentiments toward the ad- ministration's policy of greater pre- paredness for war, and the count has shown that majority of both houses will favor measures for a greater defense plan.
 Representative James R. Mann, the recognized Republican leader in the house, has openly gone on record as favoring larger naval and land forces. At a dinner in St. Louis last week, which was attended by many of the leaders of the party, Mann declared that while he believed it was not the duty of the United States to attempt to civilize or interfere in Europe he believed it a duty which we owe to ourselves to be prepared to defend and protect ourselves from European aggression. He said that the United states had the wealth and the men. but that lacking organization the country would be powerless to defend itself against powerful enemy which might be attracted by our wealth. . a -... ,. United States Senator John w. Weeks of Massachusetts,, who is re- garded as a possible Republican can didate for the presidency, also favors greater national defenses but says we must not become military mad. There is no danger of that as our form of government and our citizen ship, are not adapted to military prop aganda. We may want to conquer the trade of the world but we do not want other nations to take other lands"

TT. INTANGIBLE BELIEVED
 TO BE ACTIVE VOLCANO.

An immense volume of smoke has appeared in the heavens in and around the Alaska range of noun tains. The general opinion is that Mt. Wrangell has become quite ac- tive again, as there is quite quan- tity of light ash falling apparently from the direction of Wrangell moun- tains. The smoke become so dense on the 12th as to cause the sun, which was high at the time, to look hke a ball of fire. Large puffs of smoke, tinged with red, were dis cernible above the range of moun- tains some 100 miles from Kennecott.
 About seven years ago, Mt. Wran- gell was active and threw out just such ash as Is falling now. The vol c.no is 14,000 feet high.-Nome

TWO MILLION. OF
 YOUNG MEN MANNED

 Feature of Present War.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 15.- An American physician who has re- turned from service with the Red Cross in France and Serbia states that the loss of life on the battle fields of Europe are not the most ap- palling features of the war. He as- serts that more than two million young men have been maimed and crippled for life since the war began last year. He says the governments uf the warning European nations are now being taxed to their utmost in caring for the soldiers who have been rendered lnable to earn their own living. Hundreds of thousands have lost their sight and are being taught G read from raised letters.
 - The physician states that through the activlt.e of the Red Cross ty- ohoid and ther diseases which were devastating the Serbians, have been eradicated and that the Serbian army is in splendid condition.

CORD0vA, let. 15.-Great excite ment prevailed here last night when a boat from the Naval Radio station at Whitshed brought the news that an explosion of alcohol had wrecked the station and severely burned five workmen, two of them probably fla tally. A physician was immediately dispatched to the aid of the injured men but the launch was held up five hours on the Copper river mud flats.
 The explosion occurred about zoo o'clock last night when a tank of alcohol was ignited by backfire from an engine which the men were in- stalling. The tank burst, drenching the workmen in the burning fluid and setting fire to the station, which was almost completly gutted. It was only by heroic work on the part of the Signal Corps men that the build ing was saved. The operating room was burned and the service put out of commission.
 i The. explosion occurred while the men were adjusting and testing the new machinery which had just been installed in the arc room, an addition which was recently erected when the capacity of. the plant was increased. :. John Gillis, superintendent of the work, escaped with slight injuries. being burned about the head. arms and shoulders, his body having been protected from the burning fluid.

ISLAND TO-HAyE PRODUCER Copper Property at Bay of Isles Be- ing Developed by H. c. Vance,
 Showing Up Strong.

Martin Welsh, the Spokane million aire mining man, who visited Valdez last summer to inspect number of mining properties with view of their purchase and development. has ac- quired the copper properties of Val entine and associates at the Bay of Isles, Knights Island, and now has a crew of seven men sinking shaft on the property.
 The property is reported to have one of the most extensive copper de- posits on Prince William sound, which Dr. Brooks of the Geological survey department declares contains more copper ores than all the states together. The ore body which H. c. Vance, the mining engineer in charge, is developing is more than sixty feet wide, with fifteen feet O. the lead carrying values of better than ten per cent copper. About thirty feet of the center of the lead carries values of between two and three per cent cop per and the balance from five to six per cent copper.
 The shaft is down 80 feet and will be continued to one hundred feet. The ore has shown increased values with depth and a 15oo foot tunnel will be run on the ore this winter, which will give a depth of more than 800. feet below the surface. 2
 The Bay of Isles is a splendid loca- tion for cheap handling of ores on an extensive scale as large steamers have called at the mine and discharged cargoes. A wharf is soon to be built and shipments of ore will be made to the Tacoma smelter at an early date for testing purposes.

MATTER FOR CONSIDERATION

The new managers of the Viroqua
electric light plant are looking to an
enlargement of their field of operation
that if put into effect would prove eff
sective and of financial value. The
matter Under consideration is the ex-
tension to Westby and Cashton The
plan contemplates day and night ser
vice for all three towns and those farm
ers along the line who might desire to
make use of the current. This is an
economic problem, the operation of one
plant meaning substantial reduction
nf price for all users Three equipments
and the expense of manning and oper-
ating three plants is duplication that
is rapidly finding disfavor in these days
of Capitalization. Such a plan ought
to reduce cost of light service from
twenty. five to fifty per cent.
The CENSOR is not prepared at this
time to enter into details of the finan-
cial accomplishments but il is matter
that might well be entertained and con-
sidered. A conference of the councils
and business interests of the three towns
should be held and the matter thorough
ly considered while the opportunity is
