GERMANS DISCOURAGED
 BY GLOOMY PROSPECTS

OLDENZAAL Holland, March 1-One of the foremost war writer's Rene H. Fell belman has arrived here and declares that "the Germans are getting panicky" He says
 That is the remark l have heard from every neutral I have met on his arrival from Germany for the last few days Here on the border, the impressions of these neutral travellers are fresh and untainted ; they cannot conceal the truth, and the truth is the Germans are getting frightened of what is ahead of them. The nation gen orally, however, takes things with courage and makes ready for the worst.
 Some of my informantS have travelled straight down from KoenigSburg, over Der lin, Hanover and Hamburg; some have seen Munich and the southern cities; others have gone to the Rhine province, looking after their business. But the latter were greeted everywhere with gloom by their business friends. There is no more busi- ness That sentence has been repeated to them continually business. The com plete absence of raw stuff is killing Ger many's industry, and the plight of that country could not be worse if the battle were really waging within her borders.
 "All along the Rhine, in the district once humming with industry, factories are silent and workmen idle Food is terribly dear. The poor have had no bread that is fit to eat for months People feed on horse meat, and there is not much of that, be- cause all the horses available are snatched away by the military authorities Nobody speaks of delicacies, of pastry, of expensive fish Even the wounded cannot get such fare. The life of the people Is correspond ingly melancholy The men who are not serving any longer have no business to attend to; the women work in hospitals or sit at home knitting for the wounded or for the men in the field The possibility of final triumph is entertained only by pro- fessonal pan German enthusiasts. The kai- ser in former days was infallible, and his military genius was an article of faith. But now the truth even reaches the uneducated East Prussian peasantry"

DUD KNEW II LONG AGO

That Alaska contained rich deposits of good coal has been known to sailors tor more than thirty years, according to Tom Dudley, who first sailed along the Alaska coast in 1884.
 It was while taking supplies to whaling fleet not far from Point Barrow, MT, bud ley says, in the year mentioned, that the schooner on which he was employed as sailor put in to some point along the Alaska coast and took aboard supply of excellent coal Just where the coal was found he is unable to remember, but he ayers that it was of excellent quality.
 That there are vast deposits ot coal m Alaska that are still unknown is the oplmon of many men familiar with the country. An inspection of the United States Geolog- cal Survey map shows that coal has been located in almost every section of the coun- try. This means that some time Tn the distant past Alaska had tropical climate which promoted the production of rapidly growing trees.-Alaska Citizen.
