GERMANS AGAIN DRIVE AT CALAIS

LONDON, July 16-The Germans have again
launched terrific offensive in the west and once more
without question: they driving at Calais The ercest
attack is eveled against the allied lines around Ypres
where the British hold the trenches and the fighting is
described as the most savage Of the war The Germans
claim that they have gained an advance of two miles al
ready but the French deny this and declare that the allied
lines holding steadfast. For some time this attack
has been expected known that the Germans were
moving large bodies of troops from the east and we are
we'll prepared Since the fall of Lemberg all Germany has
been crying for attack in the west once again for
the capture Of Calais and Paris and for later attack
directly on England Once more the British people are
waiting anxiousy for the result of the latest assault and
long lists of casualties at least are feared 1t thought
that the outcome will depend on the number of troops that
Germany spare from the eastern front. We have
strengthened positions around Ypres immensely and
a feeling Of confidence prevails.

EVERYTHING POINTS TO
ERECTION OF A SMELTER

That the Guggenheims have taken
up the options secured by them in the
Broad Pass district is fact which
has been learned from an authority
which cannot be doubted. and a fact
which means more FOR this part OF
Alaska than the government railroad
work itself.
According to the information Secur-
ed by this paper the options were to
have been taken up on the 9th Of the
present month. Il will be remembered
that Engineer Dunkle. the represent
aGve Of the Guggenheims, returned to
Seward Just before that date and
after having transacted business here
he went back TO Broad Pass as quick
Is as possible. This circumstance
bears out the truth OF the statement
that the options have really become
a purchase and that the great smelt-
ing firm are into Broad Pass to stay.
Dunkle. to De exact, returned 20 Sc
ward from Broad Pass on June 30 and
remained here only three days. Dur
ing that time ne was constantly send

JUNEAU TO TAX
THE PEDDLERS
NEW LAW ENABLING THIS TO
BE DONE GOES INTO Eff
Feet JULY %.

JUNEAU, July 16.-The territorial
Legislature law allowing municipal
tiles to tax itinerant merchants be-
comes effective July 2S and the Ju-
neau city council has already decided
to pass an ordinance at that time to
place taxes on such people and so pro-
tect their home business people who
are paying the expenses Of the city
constantly while being compelled to
compete with those who pay nothing
The inability to compel itinerants to
pay taxes in the past has been the
source of much discussion here but it
is expected that all Alaska cities will
now protect themselves and their
people, resident merchants as well as
purchasers.

which may not be divulged.
As the Broad Pass ore rs all base
it means that smelter will be neces-

erect the smelter is a certainty.
They had bonded a very large number
Of claims so that the erection Of a
smelter would be justified. During
