FRENCH TRENCH BLOWN UP BY
 GERMANS

(By Associated Press Correspondcnce)
 BERLIN, Feb. 5-The peculiar char. acter of the fighting now going on at the forest Of Argonne is illustrated in the following letter from a soldier.
 "The two companies forming our right wing had been lying for five days only 90 to 50 yards from the enemy along a distance of nearly 200 yards. In front of our company to the left was a little valley, on the opposite slope of which the French had in- trenched themselves in three lines of pits, one lying above the other, and this front was generally regarded as impregnable. We therefore had a de tachment of prussian sappers and mi ners, which was assigned to our lines, to tunnel under the three French trenches in order to blow them up. The explosion was really intended to go off on the anniversary of the bat tie of Champigny (Nov. 3OD. but the sappers said that they had not yet enough @snuff" in their holes. There was danger that the French would

WAR OPENS MANY
 AVENUES OF TRADE

By Associated Press Correspondence)
 LONDON, Feb 5-Men of business with a ready eye to changing condi- tions have found that wartime offers many new roads to wealth, if the op- portunity is seized quickly Almost every day since the war began some alert British manufacturer or trader has found openings in some new field.
 The khaki boom, still at it's height, resulted in the sudden establishment of huge factories in the heart of Lon don. Hundreds of young women left good places in the jam and pickle fac tories nearby for the work of making uniforms. Tailors, pressers, who were glad to earn $1O a week in nor maj times, are able to make three times that sum at present
 A prominent hardware manufactur- CT of Birmingham put his factory in- to the hands of a manager at the be- ginning of the war and himself hur- ried to a nearby town and erected a plant for the manufacture of emblems and buttons. He has been making these novelties in wartime designs by the million at a handsome profit.
 A Photographer found a similar gold mine by turning his entire plant over to the printing of patriotic postcards, while a struggling novelty dealer has put his business on it's feet by the sale of a hundred thousand sewing kits for soldiers.
 Lesser successes have been achiev, ed by men who have marketed such minor articles for soldiers use as a boot-tag, a pipe lighter. and a patriot ic brooch. An American traveller at the beginning of the war chanced to learn that the supply of cheap but tons in England was precariously low, most of the English supply having been imported from Austria; he took immense orders in behalf of an Amer. ican firm at prices presumably well above the ordinary.
 The war brought a moderate de gree of prosperity to makers and deal CTS in foods. clothing, medical supplies war munitions, and an immense mum Der of small articles required by land and sea forces. Ship builders and ship. owners have scored heavily

 AT 1O:3O all our front trenches were evacuated. but we masked this movement to deceive the French. Al 11:2t lieutenant of pioneers pressed his thumb on button, and there was terrific crash.

The first trench was full of dead and bur jed Frenchmen. In the two next they were so dazed that they sur rendered without resistance.
 within half an hour we had taken prisoners the dwellers in all these trenches, so far as they were still alive. Among them there were eight officers and 37S privates who had not been wounded The rest, including two officers, had been buried under the debris We captured three mine throwers. Our total losses were only three killed and seven wounded.
 "A soldier must have luck. The captured French pioneers told us af- rewards that they had mined our trenches at eight points, and were go. ing to blow us up at D. m, not yet having finished putting in the charg- es, When we examined our trench- es we found these mines. So We had a lucky escape that time. The high. CT authorities are giving unstinted praise to our achievement Even the Crown Prince sent automobiles with 200 blankets and bottle of wine for each of us. What more could g soldiers heart want. Such are the tricks that we are playing here"

FAIRBANKS FEDERAL
 SITE ID COST Sl5 000

Judge Bunnell has signed an order giving permission to Receiver Moves to accept $15,OOO for what is known as the Washngton-Alaska Bank prop crty. This is the amount appropri- ated by the government to cover the purchase of the property so as 10 give the government a solid block here for federal building, but it does not necessarily follow that that amount will be paid as the property must be valued by number of people and a report made to the government.
 District Attorney Roth, who is the governments local agent in carrying out the purchase of the property, will today wire the department for further instructions. A report on valuation has already been made by his office and unless the government sends special agent to view the property it is believed that the deal will be shortly colsed at the amount of the appropriation, $15,OOO, which seems to be satisfactory to the receiver and to the rnment.-Fairbanks News Miner.
