EARN THEIR CROSSES
WRITER TELLS OF BRAVERY OF
GERMAN FIELD COOKS.

Men In the Trenches, and Wei,
and Nobly They Are Doing
Their Duty.

There isn't anything heroic about
cooks" writes Herbert Corey to the
New York Globe, land when things go
wrong one either apprehends a cook
as chasing a waiter with bread knife
or giving way to tears" Yet the Ger
man army contains many cook whose
expansive apron is decorated with the
iron cross. And the iron cross" Mr..
Corey reminds us, lis conferred for
one thing only-for 100 per cent cour-
age" The writer tells an interesting
tale:
They've earned it, said the man
who had seen them. They are the
bravest men in the kaiser's four mil
lions. I've seen generals salute greasy,
paunchy, sour-looking army cooks
/ "The cooks job is to feed the men
Of his company. Each German COM
pany is followed or preceded by field
kitchen on wheels. Sometimes the fires
are kept going while the device
trundles along. The cook stands on
the footboards and thumps his bread.
He is always the first man up in the
morning and the last to sleep at night.
The Teuton believes in plenty of food
of a sort. A well-fed soldier will
fight. A hungry one may not.
"'When the company gets into camp
the cook is there before it, swearing
at his fires and the second cook, and
turning out quantities of depressing
looking veal stew, which is, neverthe-
less, very good to eat
"'When that company goes into the
trenches the cook stays behind. There

 The correspondent says that this is but a. sample of what has been ac- complished in ship yards throughout the United Kingdom.

CHEMICALS PLACED
 IN SHIPS BOILERS Members of MinnesOta's Crew are Arrested for Conspiracy to Pre-
 vent Cargo Being Delivered.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7.-1t is HOW definitely known that the boil CTS of the steamship Minnesota was disabled by members of the crew who wished to prevent her reaching 'iv- erpool with her cargo of grain and supplies for the British Isles.
 Investigation has disclosed the :acs that the trouble was due to chemicals having been placed in eighteen of the Minnesota's boilers.
 Three members of the crew have been arrested on suspicion of having oonspired to destroy the vessel. De- tectives in the employ of the federal government have discovered where the chemicals were purchased and are trying to connect the attempt to dis able the steamer with the Teutonic conspiracy in which Detective Crow ley is alleged to have participated.
 The Minnesota will be repaired in San Francisco and while the full ex- tent of the damage is unknown 1t IS believed that she will be delayed sev- ar11 weeks.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec. 7.-- The friends of Alaska were disap- pointed when the learned yesterday that the appropriation for the con- struction of the government railroad in Alaska had been included in the sundry civil bill instead of being made a special measure. They be- lieve that Secretary Lane has made a grave mistake in not putting the matter of making the appropriation for the railroad squarely before con- gress as under the sundry civil appro- priations construction work on the railroad may be delayed for years.
 The total appropriations which con- gress will be asked to make for Alas ka during the present session, includ- ing the appropriation for the con- struction of the railroad, all of which has been included in the sundry civil bill, amounts to nearly ten million dollars.

MORE COLD COMES
 FROM GRANITE MINE
Bricks Valued at $24,OOO Brought from Hobo Bay Mine as Re-
 suit of Last Months Run.

Supt. R. w. Willard. of the Gran ite mine. Hobo Bay. arrived last night on the launch B. F. M., bring ing with him bricks of gold to the value of $24,O0O, the result of the cleanup of the mine since operations were resumed few weeks ago. He reports exceptionally cold wea- ther has been experienced in Port Wells this season and that small bays which were never known to freeze over were covered with ice dur ing the recent cold spell.
 Mining operations at the Granite were hampered for few days last week owing to the drain pipes having frozen, something which did not oc- cur last winter. The mishap did not necessitate the mill stopping as suffi- cient ore was in the bins to keep the stamps busy until the water prob lem could be solved.
 MT. Willard is planning to leave for the states at an early date and will spend several months on the out side visiting relatives in the east.

DENCER, Dec. 7.-There is keen among the liquor dealers in Denver owing to the Su- preme court of the United States hav- ing ruled that the city cannot remain wet following prohibition becoming effective on January 1 next. ..
 The case was carried to the Sr- preme court by the Denver Liouor Dealers association, owing to con- flicting opinions of legal authorities as the city of Denver has a home rule charter, and has heretofore held that prohibition and kindred laws did not effect the city government,
 The association has announced that a syndicate of Denver liquor dealers has been formed to take over the re- maining stocks of liquors in the state after prohibition becomes ef- fective and will ship them to other states which are not in the dry list

 Secretary Burleson has announced that he is seeking to create a govern ment monopoly of the telegraph ano. telephone systems in Alaska. Hawai- < and Porto Rico, He aserts that the government can give better service in these lines to the public than und CT the present competitive system and that the revenues from the pub !. lie utilities would wipe out the deficit each year in the postal department service. His measure is sure to par ticipate another fight against the ex- tension of government ownership in Alaska.
 It is believed that Secretary Garri- son of the war department, will not fight the attempt to remove the con- trol of the Alaska cable and land lines from his department but will object to the postal department being per mitted to retain the services of the Signal Corps, as efficient operators are scarce in the service.
 Included in the war department es- inmates is an item of $1O,OOO for the establishment of wireless station in Alaska but the point to be favored has not been designated.
