prime minister, who after arraign-
ment of Germany's war zone warfare

selves entitled to resort"
I'VE do not propose to assassinate
neutral seamen or destroy neutral
shipping" the prime minister con-
tinued. IF neutrals suffer inconveni-
ence. the allies will regret 1t, but neu-
trails should remember that this phase
Of the war was not initiated by u.s."
Mr.. Asquith also disclosed in this
epoch making address the fact that
the allies have sent an expeditionary
army to Turkey to cooperate with the
combined fleets in their campaign to
capture Constantinople. This had
been done. he added. without weaken
ing the battle line in France or
Belgium. The joint action in this re-
spect, he said. served to illustrate the
close accord among all the allies.
"No judicial necessities" will be per
mitted to strangle the measures OF re-
prisal to be enforced by the allies,
the prime minister declared. He said
that the prohibition of trade with Ger
many was TO be absolute, even vessels
bound to our ports from neutral ports
being subject TO seizure II they carry
shipments bound to or from Germany.
The allied fleets have silenced Fort
Dardanos and Fort Namazie and have
arrived at Chanak, fifteen miles from
the entrance to the straits. The war
vessels OF Great Britain and France
are battering down Fort Kilid Bahr
with the terrific fire OF their great
guns, while forces from the reserve
feet have taken possession OF both
shores OF the Dardanelles as far as
the ruins OF Fort Dardanos.

The Wm. Christie Case

The disappearance of Wm. Christie from Douglas Island, two weeks ago last Saturday, continues to be a source of wonder and a theme for the inven. tiou of many wild stories
 The latest sensational development has been the arrest of Edward Krause at Seattle as he left the steamer Jeffer. son. He was taken in charge by De- tective Tenuant, on a warrant charging him with the crime of impersonating officer of the law. Remnant took Krause into a room and piled him with ques- tious concerning himself and Christie, for four hours. At the conclusion of the interview Teuuant is said to have declared that it was his belief that Krause not only had murdered Christie, but two and possibly three other men, including Ole Moe, of Seattle, and Capt. James Plunkett, of Juneau. The detective declares that Krause was travelling under the name of Moe when arrested, and had in his possession deeds to Moe of various pieces of King county, Wash, real estate. Krause also had a small typewriter aud a gun in bis possession. An officer from Se- attle will return Krause to Juneau, where be will be tried for his many crimes.
 The United States marshal's office at Juneau has offered areward of $500 for the finding of William Christie, dead or alive.
 In connection with it all, the big Ju- neau dailies have turned the search light of their keen detective depart ments full on the case and have dis covered many wonderful things. One paper found out that a British war yes sel was lurking among the islands in Southeastern Alaska, and that Krause, a German, was Kidnapping British sub iects for soldiers. Another paper has a handwriting expert who can look at a typewritten letter and tell positively that it was written by Edward Krause.
 However, the fact remains that the disappearance of Wm. Christie has not been explained, and suspicion seems to fasten upon Edward Krause, who, no doubt, will have a story to tell when he faces bis accusers.
 Meanwhile public opinion veers from oae belief to another upon the receipt of every report. The motive of Krause's murderous campaign is alleged to be plunder in the cases of Moe and Plun- kett, aud iu the case of William Chris tie, jealous love for Christie's wife.
