VAN HORN MUST STAND
 TRIAL IN FEDERAL COURT.
Contention that Blowing Up Bridge Act of War Has Failed to
 Convince.

BANGOR, Maine, March 2O.-The contention of Van Horn has failed that the attempt to blow up the bridge of the Canadian Pacific railroad was a justifable act of war. The failure of his effort to escape on these grounds means that he will have to stand trial before a court of this country. The trial will come before a United States court at Boston. It is deemed more than likely that Canada will fail to secure his extraditiOn. German societies have taken it upon them selves to defend the prisoner and the case will command a tremendous lot of attention.

GERMANS MASS FOR
 ATTACK ON YPRES.
Reports from the Western Front In- dicate that a Tremendous Battle
 Will Soon be Fought.

LONDON, March 2O.-Reports from the western front this morning indi- cate that the Germans are massing large forces for a tremendous attack on Ypres with the likely intention of trying to burst their way to the French coast. German troops that have been stationed in interior Bel gian cities are said to be coming up in immense numbers for the attack which will probably be delivered in the first fine weather if at all. The fighting along the western line for the past couple of days has been slight comparatively and the attention has been given almost entirely to the pro- gress of events in the Dardanelies.

ENGLAND ONCE
 MORE RAIDED
GERMAN AVIATORS LOMBARD BRITISH NAVAL BASE
 AT SHEERNESS.

BERLIN, March 2O.-German avia- tors raided the English naval base at Sheerness yesterday. The result has not been reported but the damage was probably not very great. Sheerness is less than twenty miles from the great Tilbury docks on the river Thames below London and is itself at the mouth of the Thames. The aim of the aviators was to hit some of the naval vessels stationed there but whether they succeeded or not in their purpose has not yet been learned The feeling in this city is that the real attack on England will not be made until the Germans have captured more coast towns nearer to the English coast.

NEW YORK, March 19.-The hear ing of the proceedings on the habeas corpus writ in the Thaw case has been postponed for month and in the meantime the defendant will have to stay in the TOmbs prison. The state is in something of difficulty to know what to do with Thaw. To send him back to the asylum if he is shown on examination to be sane would be Ob- viOusly an irregular proceeding while tO,let him go scott free would look too much like endorsing his action in mak- ing his escape.

WICK SAYS ALL

EVENTUALLY ALL COAST WILL BE COVERED DELEGATE
 DECLARES.

SEATTLE, March 2O.-Delegate Wickersham, who has arrived here and who will leave next Tuesday for Juneau, declared in an interview this morning that Alaskas outlook is ex- traordinarily bright at present. The sentiment at Washington, he says, is that only two million dollars were ap- propriated because that is all that Secretary Lane could use at present In the delegates expressed opinion this amount will cover all that had been planned for this summer and the appropriations committee would have given ten millions if he had asked for it. He further de- clared that no one need worry as to the location of the government rail road as the government will not build one railroad but system of railroads which will eventually go to all places mentioned in that cOnnec- ton before the plans of the admins tration are finally perfected. He em- .phasized the fact that the govern ment proposes to effect plan for de- velOpment for all parts of Alaska.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Naval experts have advisied the United States government to admit the legal ity of the British blockade of Ger many and Austria as the establish ment of such a precedent may be use full to this country should she get in- to a war.

Make Efforts at Four Points but Ger mans Say They Were Easily
 Driven Back.

BERLIN, March 2O.-The French have delivered weak attacks at Lille, Rheims, Verdun and the VOsges but all of them have been easily repulsed. So easily were they driven back, ac- cording to the German official account, that there is no longer any doubt that hope has been practically abandoned of driving our troops out of their en- trenchments. The results from the fighting in the west in the last few days are very slight and no side gain ed any advantage worth mentioning

U.S.P PARKS An ASSET
TO NATION, SAYS LANE
Visitors Last Summer Spent
Million That Europe, Normal
", Would Have Gotten.

Declaring that national parks are an
asset to the people, not only for health
and recreation, but from an economic
standpoint, Secretary of the Interior
Lane in section OF his annual report
made public today, calls attention to
the fact that visitors TO the parks last
Summer distributed millions that under
normal conditions would have gone to
Europe.
With respect to the parks, he says.
THE United States furnishes play
grounds to the people of this country
which are, we may modestly state. with
out any rivals I'm the world. Just as the
cities are seeing the wisdom and the
necessity of open spaces for the chill
dren. so. with a very large view, the
Nation has been saving from its domain
the rarest places of grandeur and
beauty for the enjoyment Of the world.
Revelation To Many.
"And this fact has been discovered by
many only this year. Having an in
centive in the expositions on the Paci-
fic coast. and Europe being closed, thou
sands have for the first time crossed
the national parks. That such noun
tains and glaciers. lakes and canyons,
forests and waterfalls were to be found
at would appear from the experience
Of this year that the real awakening
as to the value Of these PARKS has at
last been realized, and that those who
have hitherto found themselves enticed
by the beauty Of the Alps and the Rhine
and the soft loveliness of the valleys OF
France. may find equal IL not more
stimulating satisfaction In the noun
tains. rivers and valleys which this
Government has set apart for them and
for all others.
The Governments Aim.
There is no reason why this nation
should not make its public health and
scenic domain as available 10 all its
citizens as Switzerland and Italy make
theirs. The aim Is to open them thor
orEhly by road and trail and give ac-
cess and accommodation to every Gc-
gree of income.
I'm this belief an effort has been
made this year as never before to out
fit the parks with new hotels which
should make the visitor desire to linger
rather than hasten on his journey. One
hotel was built on Lake McDermovJ,
In Glacier Park, one is to be built i'm
mediately on the shoulder of Mt.
Rainier, in Paradise valley, another IN
the valley of the Yosemite, with an
annex high overhead on Glacier Point,
while more modest chalets are to pc
dotted about in the. obscurer spots to
make accessible the rarer beauties OF
the inner Yosemite.

Game Conservation Center.
"While as the years have passed we
have been modestiy developing the SUI
perb scenic possibilities OF the Yellow
stone, nature has made Of 1t the larg-
est and most populOus game preserve
In the western Hemisphere. Its great
size, Its altitude, its vast wildernesses,
its plentiful waters, its favorable con-
formation of rugged mountain and shell
protection Afforded by the policy and
the scientific care OF the Government
have made this park, since its iuaugti-
ration IN 1872. the natural and inevita-
BILE center of game conservation for
this nation.
There Is something of significance IN
this. II is the destiny of the national
