AMERICAN MARINES NAV BE HTTEU7D BY MEEgAN5
TRYING TO GET BALKANS
 INTO THE WAR

LONDON, June 19.-The Allies are atraining every diplomatic resource at their command to adjust the de- sires of the Balkan States and Greece in order to get them to join the AL lies in the war against Germany and Austria.
 The rumors that come from the Bal kans are as plentiful as they are con tradictory. The most persistent re. port. which newspaper dispatches from Sofia say is accepted there as true, is that the powers of the Quad ruple Entente have offered Bulgaria generous territorial terms that are entirely satisfactory to that country.
 Nevertheless. 1t is evident that no actual alliance has yet been closed between the Entente powers and Bull garia or Roumania It seems also that none will be signed until Bul. garia's neighbors. Roumania and Ser. bia particularly, make concessions that she has been constantly de-. manding.
 The feeling is growing, however, that the Balkan States and Greece will not remain out of the war long. and that when war is declared it will be the simultaneous act of Bulgaria, Roumania and Greece.

He has also made clear that President Wilson and the other members of his administra- tion desire to avoid war with Ger many if it can be accomplished with honor to the Nation. and that in this, too. the President has the endorse ment Of the people.
 It was stated today that Dr. Ger hard will have an interview directly
 with Chancellor Bethmann-HolIweg before work is actually begun on pre- pairing the German reply to the sec ond note on the submarine warfare against commerce.
 Newspapers here have little to say concerning the representations of Dr.. Gerhard. but they continue their ad- vocacy of peace with the United States.

 ELABORATE TRENCHES

ROME. June 19-Italian troops con- tlnue to capture trenches along the Is. onzo front Many systems of trenches captured are of the most elaborate design and finish.

Groups of trenches extending more than a mile back from the first were connected by tunnels and cuts. the whole constituting a system in which a large army could hide. They were made untenable. however, by Italian artillery fire, and captured by infantry charges after the protecting barbed wires were carried away.

180 MEN
 WORKING
 AIT ANNEX

The driving of a 1s5O-foot tunnel to tap Annex Lake over a hundred feet below its level, the development of 1000 horsepower by January. the completion of byroads and trails to fa- cilitate the work are the striking fea- lures of the Alaska Gastineau com pany's latest project at Annex creek, where lSO men are now working.
 10 Great Power Scheme.
 The Annex Creek project con- sists of the development of 4,OO0 horsepower from the waters of An mex Creek proper and of 5000 addi- tionaI horsepower from Carlson creek. which will be diverted into the Annex creek basin. This years program in- cludes 4.OOO horsepower development only, and will be completed early in 1916, thus making available, in con- junction with the 5000 horsepower furnished at Salmon creek, total of 10000 horsepower It is estimated by Harry l.. Wollenberg, chief engineer of the company, that this power will mine and mill about 11,OOO tons of ore per day. the capacity of the Thane milling plant now under construction. At such time as it is decided to build another mill to raise the capacity to 10000 tons per day the development of Carlson creek win be carried out.
 Authorization for this work was re- ceived on April 15, and the work was immediately started About 1SO men are now employed. most of whom are at Annex creek camp. One gang is building a road up Carlson creek and another is building a 11-mile trail, in which poles to acrry the power to the mine will be set The trail runs over the divide from Sheep creek.
 "Longest Tramv Built
 What is said to be the longest in- cline tram in Alaska has just been completed. It is 5000 feet in length, and rises 700 feet above the beach. At the end of the tram is a surface railroad 1000 feet long which will be completed within ten days. The rail- road leads to the portal of the tunnel which win tap Annex Lake at a depth of 15O feet below it's present level The tunnel win be 1850 feet long and plans are being developed for tapping the iaSe withou; loss of the water
 A crew of men under Byron Olson are at work on the portal of the tun- mel, and within two or three weeks a water wheeldriven compressor will have been installed and the actual tunnel work commenced. It is in- tended to make as rapid progress as| possible in this tunnel and a picked crew win be used. with bonus paid for rapid advance

 DECIDED UPON

LONDON, June 19.-That the Brit ish and French governments are pre- pairing an answer Go the long neglect ed protest from the United States to the order in council which prohibited trade of neutral countries with Ger many or among each other when the ultimate destination Of the cargoes Is believed to be Germany. Interest in the original American note of protest was revived when it became known that President Woodrow Wilson is preparing a second protest on the subject
 The Allies will take the position that American interest in the matter is solely one of trade. as the safety Of the lives of Americans and the ships themselves has been guaran- teed It will be stated that the AL lies have already assured the United States that Americans will not lose anything on account of seized Ameri- can ships or cargoes. but that the AL lies will pay for the cargoes seized and indemnify ship owners for de- lay. It will be pointed out that this has already been done in the major ity of cases.
 The Allies may also contend that the blockade of the entrance to the Baltic and the Kiel canal is a com plete blockade. answering the re- quirements of international law.
 It is hoped that the Allies answer to the original American note may be prepared and delivered at Washing ton before the dispatch of the second American note.

 CONDITION BAD

TREADWELL, June i9.-As the re- suit of fall in the hoist room of the Central hoisting plant at TAO o'clock this morning. Bert Steadman is at St. Ann's hospital in very serious con- dition. Although he is not suffering 1t will be at least twenty-four hours before anything definite can be known of his chances Of recovery.
 MT. Stcadman. who has been engin- ger at the plant. came on shift at z o'clock this morning and immediate ly started to work with the machin- ists who are taking the hoist apart
 on account of the breakage of a shaft early this morning. After do- ing little work on the valves and pipes. he. in company with E. Kirk patrick. his oiler, climbed on the en- sine on the main floor for the purpose of removing the skip safety"
 Kirkpatrick states that after the safety was loosened, he and Steadman were going to place it on the floor, and were lifting on 1t. one on each side. when Steadman slipped and caught the safety with his hands, but that his hands slipped and he plung- ed headlong to the concrete floor. l2 feet below. striking on his head.
 Kirkpatrick, assisted by Monte Benson and Hugh McRae. who were in the building at the time, rushed to the pit and carried Steadman to the main floor. where it was found that he was semi.conscious, although un- able to speak. He was taken to the hospital as soon as possible and ac- cording to latest accounts is resting easily.
 The statement was made at the hospital that there were no bones broken. but that there is a pressure on the brain. and that his chances of recovery will not be known for at least day.
 The accident occurred within three feet of the drum on which Ward Lugton was fatally injured on the night of Dec. 2lst 1913. Mir Lugton, it will be remembered. was caught by the cable and wound around the 14- foot drum three times, dying in the hospital two hours later.
 Mir. Steadman has been resident of Treadwell most of his life. is mar rled and has three children. He is known all over Southeastern Alaska, having been a member of the Doug las baseball team for five or six years. but has not played for the past four years.
