BRITISH AND GERMAN AIR
 FLEET IN BIG NAVAL BATTLE

LONDON Jan. 25.-British ayiators accommodating to the east of Dunl<irIl today encountered a large fleet of Ger man airships headed toward the coast. The German fleet is described as of formidable size and flying at a consid- erable elevation seemingly with a de- sire to escape observation and it was only by the merest chance that the British ayiators discovered the squad ron owing to the lowering clouds. Tho British airmen at once gave battle, the entire aero corps joining in the attack and after a fierce running fight com pelled the enemy to retreat far into Belgium where they were lost to the sight of the pursuing British aeros in heavy snow storm. It is generally believed here that the vigilance of the army aero corps has succeeded in frustrating another raid on London as no other explanation can be offered for the presence. in the vicinity of the channel of such a large and formidable air fleet.

There is considerable speculation as to who will be elected to fill the .un- expired term and whether it is better to elect some one who is now on the The time is very short and if there should be several candidates a local man would not have his election de- tcrmined until the first of March, which would not enable him to reach Juneau before about April first.

 Photographic reports from Seattle states that George James and Andy Anderson, both of whom were candi- dates at the last election, would offel themselves as candidates at the speeia election. Barry Keown who is now or h.s way to Juneau has also been fay orably mentioned as suitable can didate as has also William Gilmore

PENSION WARRANTS AT PAR?
Increased Tax Levy Would Amount
 to Much to Pensioners,

Little Rock, Aug. 19.-(Special. .)- Notwithstanding the increased tax levy fer the payment of Confederate pensions, which it was thought would be sufficient to pay the veterans 100 cents on the dollar for the amounts allowed, there has been such a heavy increase in the number of pensioners that it is estimated not more than 30 or 60 cents on the dollar can be paid
 It is believed the increase will amount to abuIt 1900 bringing the total num- Der on the rolls up to approximately an aggregate of $10,900. The average pension is $100, so that it appears there will be a total of more than one million dollars allowed. The increas- ed allowances more than make up TOT the deaths that occur during the year. In a majority of cases, veteran pen sioner who dies is survived by his widow, to whom a pension is granted
 There is none who would deny the heroes of the Lost Cause the pitiful amount of aid that comes from sman pension allowance by the state, ano there is no legislation more popular in the General Assembly. Some have pointed out, however, the danger of tc4o great liberality, which might lead to curtailment of the pension levy.
