All honor TO the memory of Alfred
Vanderbilt, lie could not swim a
stroke and he had secured a life
belt in prcpara ton for the plunge Of
the Lusitania, but the boat was sink
ing rapidly and there came to his
side woman who was helpless and
unr"oVided for. Mr.. Vanderbilt un-
strapped his belt, gave it to the wo-
man and turned to get another for
himself. Before he could accom-
pliSh that much. the ship went down
and with it at least one man with Il
gallant soul.
When the Tital ic sunk, John ia
cob Astor was on her decks, having
given up the seat he had secured in
il lifcboat by the side OF his wife that
a woman might take his place and
his chance for safety. In each in
stance life was unsclfishly sacri-
hccd that a woman might live.
Deeds OF this kind are calculated to
make the world think better Of the
wealthy class. Both AStor and Van
derbilt were suddenly faced with the
necessity OF deciding if it should be
their lives and thcir gold, or the life
OF woman, and in neither case was
there an instaht's hesitation. These
two men furnished examples in the
heroics that tend to increase the ad-
miration OF the world in the nobility
OF human nature when the test shall
come.

BRITISH HOSPITAL
 SHIP IS ATTACKED

(By Associated Press Correspondence
 LONDON, Feb 1.-The British Red Cross hospital ship Asturlas. which the allies assert was subjected to submarine attack, is by far the finest hospital ship in the British service. It plies between Havre and South. hampton. In the old days the ship was in the South American passenger service and was then noted for it's luxurious accommodation and steadi- ness through weather. Luxurious fit tings are now cleared away, but noth- ing has been lost on the side of com. fort. There are twelve hundred swinging beds for the wounded, who receive every care possible in a land hospital. While surgical operations at sea are generally avoided on hospi. tai ships, unless of minor kind. the operating theatre of the Asturias is so well equipped that many serious cases are handled there.
 The Asturas is painted white with green stripes. and carries a huge square cross painted in red amidships on both sides. At night the red cross is illuminated by electric lights and can be clearly seen from long distance. Besides the doctors and orderlies there are twenty women nurses aboard

FOREIGN MONEY ORDERS
 ISSUED AS USUAL

All postoflces throughout the coun- try have resumed the issuing of for eign money orders for any amount
 Immediately after the war broke out in Europe, there was great de, mand for money orders, large and small, to assist stranded Americans in Europe. The rush for moey or ders was so great and the chance of them going astray and causing innu- merable miXups and trouble to the postal departments were so numerous that it was decided to limit the re. mittances.
 The order issued by the department as follows:
 Until otherwise advised, the notice Of August 3, 1914, limiting the issue orders payable in European countries to $lOO in favor of one person, is hereby rescinded. The transaction of international money order business may now be resumed under the gen. eral rules and regulations in force prior to August 3, 1914. In the event the demands for money orders in very large amounts are made, postmasters, before issuing the orders, should re- port same promptly to the third asssi, tant postmaster general, division of money orders. If deemed of suffic. tent importance, the telegraph may be used. This notice applies to the following countries; Denmark, Ger. many France, Great Britain and Ire, land, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxem berg, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland"

FAVORS REPEAL OF
 TAX ON COPPER

Senator Charles Sulzer, of South eastern Alaska, is in favor of the re- peal of the territorial tax on the out put of one of our greatest minerals. He says:
 "The tax of ten cents ton on cop per is not fair to the small copper mines. The copper properties pro ducing in Alaska are being developed under expensive and unfavorable conditions. In most instances ex- tensive and costly tram systems are required to convey the ore from the mines to tide water, and the ore shipped to Pacific coast smelters at heavy freight rates and high shelter charges. Ten cents a ton does not, to the average person appear high, but to those familiar with copper min ing, particularly in the infancy of the industry in newly developing coun- try where there is no economical method of smelting, the charge is a burden which should not be contn. ued"

.STAMPEDERs RETURNING
 ID THE T0L0VANA

The report that what is consider ed by miners to be fairly good pay had been discovered on a creek near Cacy's roadhouse, on the Tolovana river has started new stampede in that direction. Many of the miners who only recently returned from that district discouraged by failure to To- cate pay, are now backtracking to the diggings.
 It is also reported on reliable au- thOrity that pay averaging $1 per square foot has been uncovered on Livingood creek. where the first dis covery was reported to have been made.
 Dave Cascadden, who Is regarded as one of the most reliable miners in interior Alaska, apparently believes the Tolovana will make a good camp. He has secured permit from the land office to cut 2,OOO,0OO feet of lumber on the Tolovana river about fifteen miles below the first strike. He is preparing to install a large sawmill at an early date next spring.

MAES ] US LOOK LIKE FOUR
 CHIPS

The closing down of the slot ma chimes in this division has resulted in considerable criticism on the part of many people in Cordova, through out the Copper River valley, KataIa, Valdez and Seward as to tne cause of the action being taken by the f,d- eral authorities.
 The Seward Gateway says, umong other things
 "The machines were forbidden in the First division some time ago and have not been used in the Second for years, so the First, Second and Third divisions are now three of a kind, and if the Fourth division has the same law enforced it makes two pair which makes us look like four white chips"
 From a lengthy article in the Val dez Prospector the following ex- cerpts are taken:
 No more will the bingle be in use an dthe familiar call of diamond in the middle or heart on the end be heard
 Everybody in the district, at least those of the male sex, knew that slot machines were being operated but the federal officials evidently toler- ated the mild form of amusement, knowing that they could issue the or abolishing the machines at any time that a complaint was made.
 When the matter came up at the hearing in Cordova, and was officially called to the attention of the court, Judge Fred NJ. Brown instructed Dis trict Attorney Spence to look into the matter. The order abolishing the machines followed"

JAP AN CURRENT CAUSE MILD
 WEATHER

"The shifting of the Japan current
 is the cause of our present cold spell, !"
 said L. NJ. Tyrrel yesterday. eff
 you have noticed the mild weather
 in Alaska you can see that the Japan
 current has been shunted past the
 Aleutian islands and is causing mild
 weather in that part of the country.
 It has not been so cold in Alaska this
 winter as 1t has been here. I have noticed the weather reports from day to day and have been struck with the mildness of the weather there. The explanation is easy The winds have drifted the ice in a line extending
 south of the Aleutian islands and the Japan current has been turned from it's usual course and defected along the Alaskan coast. As a con sequence we have lost the modi- flying effect along the coast off the sound and are having colder weather. while Alaska is having unusually warm weather for this time of year. The change will come when the ice foe breaks up and the Japan cur rent returns to it's usual channel. It is hard to say when this will happen. but it is liable to come at any time The winds have caused present condi- tions and if they shift the current will soon wear its way through the ice foe and return to it's course along the sound. We will then have a Chinook wind and warmer weather" North Yakima Republican.

GIRL EXPERIENCE
 ALONG FIRING LINE

LONDON, Feb. 17-A letter received by an English family from a daugh- ter serving as a Red Cross nurse in Flanders gives a thrilling glimpse of girls life in the Nieuport-Dixmude line.
 "We had a lively day of smelling on Monday" she writes. At about 1O:- 30, whiz,bang! just outside our house, and all our glass came shattering down. Whiz-bang! another, and an other and yet another. Just then the Belgian doctor came in and told us we had better go into the cellar. We went down into the cold damp cellar and stood about on bits of bits of wood and coal and listened to the continued whiz-bang and crash of big shells. The noise was pretty near deafening. and they must have pumped in about 1OO Out of all that lot luckily we got only two woun- ded men-a priest. wounded by a fly ing bit in the face, and soldier. It was extremely lucky that on that day the trenches opposite our house were not occupied or there would have been many killed and wounded"
 Continuing her letter on the follow ing day, the writer says: "The big cannonadng is still going on. There must be a tremendous battle, am hoping they are gaining ground, and that we shall soon move on down the road should just love to move forward into Brussels. The weather has been truly awful lately, nothing but rain. l live in knee-high rub Der boots and my oilskins. I am sure I will never be able to get back to hobble skirts and fashionable sides as our American nurse says.
 We are thinking of going to Fur nes for the afternoon, just for a joy ride. We have been at it for nearly a fortnight without break, so we think of going in. You have no idea what a pleasure a trundle into Furnes is, when you have not done a thing but remain in two dingy, smelly posts day in and day out. will tell you what the pleasure consisted of: Getting into a motor ambulance that has seen it's best days, and trundling over broken, holey roads that nearly jolt ones insides out i; probably at least once, and perhaps more, sticking in the deep mud. and all having to get out and push and shove to get the car out, and event ua!ly arriving at Furnes, and having mad rush around the shops and grab ping all stores we can find, but it all l seems so new and interesting after a l desolate town.
 Then a mad rush back again over the same bumpy, holey road and home to our tumble-down cottage. Yet you have no idea what a great treat it seems to us"
