WHY YAK MAY BE INTRODUCED
 INTO ALASKA

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-No breeds of dairy or beef cattle have as yet been found, says the Department of Aericuiture experts. hardy enough to stand the winters in the interior Of Alaska without excessive expense for food and protection against cold.
 As a result. it is pointed out, milk sells for 50 cents 9 quars and the beef that is consumed in the country con- sists almost wholly of cold.storage meat brought from the outside. al- though occasionally @ herd of steers is driven in from the coast. the trip to Fairbanks taking a month Go six weeks.
 To remedy this situation in part it is proposed by the Alaskan experiment station to cross the yak and the Gallo way with the hope of producing an an- imai hardy enough to withstand the severe conditions In the interior parts of the country.
 Yak Defes Severe Cold.
 This was suggested by the fact that the yak. which is much used by the Mongolians for meat and milk as well as for work. is extremely hardy, oo- taining bis feed through the long and extremely cold Mongolian winter prac- ticaily without assistance.

Just As Soon As Government Railroad Is Built and Supplies Can Be
 Taken In CheapIy.

SEATTLE, April 22.-Seattle and Alaska capitalists, and among the lat. ter are Senator B. F. Willard and George Baldwin, have organized company to install large mining plant on the upper reaches of the Susitna river as soon as the govern. ment railroad can transport the big machinery to the mine.
 The company propose working the ground on the upper Susitna which is not workable now because of the high cost of transportation of sup. plies and machinery, but with the building of the government railroad and the cheapening of transportation the ground could be worked with considerable profit.

 "A TOMORROW

HONOLULU, April 22.-A fourth cable has been attached to the sunk en submarine F-4, which lies at the bottom of the ocean off the mouth of this harbor. The engineers in charge of the work of salvage expect to hoist the sunken craft from the ocean bottom to the surface some time tomorrow. The strain placed on the cable indicated that they were all fast and that the work of raising can be started as soon as the big lighters are in place. The Navy De- partment have enough collins ready to receive the bodies of the men who went to their doom when the sub marine dove to the bottom and fail ed to come to the top again.

BRITISH CRUISERS

Three of the Largest Ships of Eng- lands Navy Now Seen Daily
 Off Gotham's Harbor.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Masters of incoming steamers report that the British guard ships at the entrance to the harbor have been changed and three of the fastest ships of the Brit ish navy now watch each boat that comes into or goes out of the harbor. By night the ships are held under the glare of the big searchlights until the British commanders are convinced of the nationality of the steamer.
 Just why the fast cruisers have been substituted is not known, but it is thought that the British admiralty fear that the fas German merchant vessels now in this harbor may make an effort to put to sea and menace the commerce of the Allies.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22.-The steamer Admiral Farragut, of the Admiral Line, reached here this morn ing and the commander of the yes. sel has reported to the government that his ship was followed almost in to the harbor by fast cruiser, pre- sumably a British boat.
 The warship kept a searchlight playing on the American boat and re- mained some miles away, but did not attempt to stop the ship. nor would the commander of the cruiser reply to the wireless messages sent him by the captain of the Admiral Far ragut.
 It is not expected that the matter will be taken up by the State De partment as no interference with the American ship has been reported.

German-Austro Subjects Warned.
 GENEVA, April 22-The German diplomatic representative in Italy has advised all Austrian and German residents in Italy to leave the coun- try at once and to abandon all they possess in an effort to secure safety in the fatherland. War is certain be- tween the Italians and Austrians.
 swiss Fear Invasion.
 The people of Switzerland will be called upon again to mobilize a large military force on the Austrian-Italian border to protect the neutrality of the country. Constant movements of troops were made today to the bord CT forts and huge entrenchments have been erected along the frontier and barbed-wire entanglements will op- pose any invasion of the republic by the opposing countries. Switzerland will then be surrounded by the bel ligerent nations-Austria and Ger many on one side, and France and Italy on the other. The effort to pro- tect the republic from invasion will be costly but the people are a unit and are backing the government in it's efforts to present a large force against all invaders.

RAILROADS ASK
 RATE REDUCTIONS

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Rate re- auctions, instead of the usual increas- es, were sought today by transcon- tinental railroads before the Inter- s-ate Commerce Commission. They sought permission to reduce freight rates on commodities from Chicago and the middle west to the Pacific coast to the level of water rates from the eastern seaboard through the Panama canal. The railroads want to meet water competition, to avoid losing immense traffic through the canal. The proposed reduction would affect the entire trade between Chicago and the Pacific coast states and would re-establish 6 competitive rate market.

BERLIN, April 22.-The war office announces that the military opera tions of the Germans in the La Petre district, where the French have been holding the strongly entrenched po- sitions, have been very successful and the German line has been advanced several miles, capturing number of prisoners, occupying the enemies trenches and also taking some mill tary supplies. The fighting has been in the heavy wooded district and many French wounded have been found hiding in the woods.
 Heavy Fighting Near St. MihieI.
 All about St. Mihiel the fighting the past two days has been desper- ate. The efforts of the French to drive out the German wedge which has held position at St. Mihiel since last September has been in vain. They have made attack after attack on the German line only to be beaten back with heavy losses in killed, wounded and prisoners. The Germans have cement-lined trenches, well con- cealed guns and hold the commanding positions which block the French ad- vance. Gen. Joffre has lost 60,000 men since last September in the ef- fort to dislodge the Germans from the heights which block his way to Metz and an invasion of Germany, although he is admitted to have a superior force at his disposal, while the German commander has only a thin line to block him.
 French Licked In AIsace, Say Ger
 mans.
 The war office also publishes a statement to the effect that the French have suffered repulse in the attacks and also in the fighting in the Champagne district, where they at tempted yesterday to push forward but were blocked and driven back In the Vosges mountains the French offensive has been weak and was cas- fly disposed of.

The sudden stiffening of the Austrian forces has been surprising and the Russians have been the most surprised of any at the wonderful recuperative pow CTS of the Hungarian forces.

The Italian steamers in port are being unloaded with all dispatch and it is taken as indicating that the government needs the boats for transports to send troops to Monte negro and Serbia.
 War Seems Certain.
 Nobody in the city expects that it is possible for the differences between Italy and Austria to be settled peace fully. The mobs are parading the streets cheering for the British and French and urging the government to start the war going. Strong detach- ments of troops guard the German and Austrian ambassadors and the mobs are forbidden to enter the streets upon which they have their residences.

 dence Neutrality Violations.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Baron von Loehneysen, former German con- sul at Seattle, Wash, is no longer connected with the German diplomat ic service, the announcement having been made by the German ambassa- dor, who apologized to the State De- partment for the misconduct last February of the consul, who had tried to persuade soldiers of the American army stationed at Fort Worden, to desert and join the German army.
 The American State Department called the attention of the German government to the fact that von Loeh. neysen had attempted to induce the troopers to desert, and they forward ed evidence of the fact which con- vinced the kaiser's government which in turn directed its ambassador here to make amends and to notify Sec retary Bryan that von Loehneysen was no longer connected with the German diplomatic service, having been dismissed for his indiscretion.
 Vice Consul Mueller, who took over the Seattle office on February 9th. is also to be removed because of his efforts to secure evidence that the Seattle Drydock and Construction Co. was sending to Vancouver submarines in sections, which is in violation of the international neutrality laws, the conspiracy charge against him having been proven to the satisfaction of both the American and German gov ernments.
 Mueller tried to induce a clerk in the Seattle shipbuilders employ to steal the records and give them to him, for which he was to receive a sum of money. The plan miscarried and Mueller was exposed and arrest ed, but the case was later dropped, while the State Department requested the German government to investi- gate and act upon the findings made.
