SEWARD NEEDS
WIVES THEY SAY
(The Washington Post)

SEATTLE, Oct. 16.-There is no such matrimonial market in the coun- try as there is today in Alaska. Pub licity is being given the situation by an army officers wife from Fort Lis cum, who, writing in a western paper, declares the fact that so many of the best men of the country are living in bachelrohood in the territory.
 "I never saw such an active matri- monial market" writes the author, "as there is in Alaska. And l cannot say too positively that the Alaska men are the equal of any in the world They have to be fine men physically and morally to overcome the hardships of the new and wild country"
 The new railroad camp built by the government at Anchorage is made up of young men. True, they are of all nationalities, but there are hundreds of fine, strong, American young fel- lows who will decide to make Alaska their future home.
 The busy mining city and capital of the territory, Juneau, possesses more single men than married and there is also the same scarcity of young women. Seward, Wrangell Skagway and Valdez are other coast towns whose population consist large ly of the boarding class of young feI- lows.
 Some Of these days young women from the States will wake up to the fact that some of these young men are former schoolmates and that they are dwelling in a country with a golden future. When they do wake up there is going to be an influx into Alaska of thousands of girls of mar riageable age.

MINING ON PRINCE
 WILLIAM SOUND

(U. s. Geo. Survey Press Bulletin)
 The producing copper properties on Prince William Sound, Alaska, appear to have been only slightly affected by the confusion in the financial and copper markets resulting from the European war. An increased quant- ity of copper ore was mined last year, but the average grade of the ore min ed was much lower than in the pre- ceding year. The value of the metals recovered from these copper ores in 1914 was also less than in 1913. This decrease was due largely to the lower grade of the ore mined, although the lower price received for the copper content of the ores con tributed slightly to the decline in the total value of production.
 The productive mines of the Prince William Sound region in 1914 in- cluded two copper mines and eight gold mines. These are described in detail in Bulletin 622-E, Mining on Prince William Sound" by B. L.. Johnson, recently issued by the United States Geological Survey.

HUNT FOR LOST SUBMARINE
Vessels Continue to Sweep Floor, Of
Sea in Effort to Locate Missing
"a at Honolulu.

Honolulu, March 30.-Vessels which
have been sweeping the waters near
the entrance to Honolulu harbor since
early morning in the search for the
missing submarine F-4 have met with
no success.
Despite the repeated failures, ma.
val officers are firm in the belief
that the wrecked diver is submerged
near the harbor entrance. They base
this theory on the recovery of a piece
Of brasswork brought to the surface,
which has been positively identified
as belonging to the F4, on the re-
ports of fuel oil seen on the surface
and on the stream of air bubbles
which occasionally came to the sur

UNITED STATES SUBMARINE
WITH FULL CREW LOST
"a Sinks in 1870 Fathoms of Water in
Honolulu Harbor-Grapplers
at Work.

Honolulu, r. H., March 27.-The
American submarine "a is lying sub
merged at a depth of 100 fathoms two
miles off Honolulu harbor, and it is
feared the crew has been suffocated.
The vessel was submerged at 9:l5
a. m. Thursday and failed to come to
the surface. The F4 commanded by
Lieut.. Alfred l.. EIDE, carried a crew OF
% men.
Attempts to bring the vessel to the
surface with graphing hooks have
failed. No signal bells have been
heard from the submerged craft, and
this fact leads to fears that the subma-
rine's tanks have burst. suffocating the
crew with suphuric acid fumes.
The three other submarines Of the
"F"' group stationed here, the naval
tug Navajo and launches secured the
ocean for miles about the harbor en-
trance before trace OF the vessel was
found. Naval officials at first were
hopeful that no serious mishap had be-
fallen the IA. but as hour after hour
passed without any trace of it their
apprehension grew.
The little fotilla of submarines was
engaged In target practice 1t was not
regarded as unusual that the F-4 should
remain under water for an hour or
more in the course of the maneuvers,
but when noon came and the vessel
continued submerged anxiety began to
be felt This increased as the after
noon wore on, and the other subma-
rines began systematic search.
Most OF the % men aboard the Pa
are married and have families.
Rear Admiral Charles b. r. Moore,
commandant of the Honolulu station,
said the men on the FL would be in
no danger of suffocation ordinarily for
at least twentyfour hours and that II
the vessels air apparatus remained
in good order the crew might live a
week submerged. He said, however,
that the F.. licked food supplies.
The + tyIe is about 400 tons dis
placement, has surface speed of II
knots and underwater speed of eight
to ten knots an hour
Lieutenant EIDE was born in Nevada
on July A. 1887. He entered the naval
academy when eighteen years of age
and graduated well up in his class.

Washington, March 30-The state
department has received authoritative
information that Count Witte, expire

ating peace with Germany prior to
his sudden death.
The negotiations interrupted by the
decease Of the great Russian peace
statesman will be taken up anew by

When this will be done is not
known, but the Berlin government all
along has realized that if it is to win
in the great contest under way it
can be only through the detachment Of
Russia from France and Great Brit

Indeed. the diplomatic plans Of the
German foreign Office contemplate also
the withdrawal Of France from the
war and consequent isolation of Great
Britain.

MAY FORBID LIQUOR
MOVE TO ABOLISH DRINK IN
BRITAIN UP TO CABINET.
lIoyd-George Promises to Bring Be-
fore Full Ministry Plea to Bar
All Liquor Sales.

London, March 30.-"We are fight
ing Germany, Austria and drink, and
so far as / can see the greatest Of
, these three deadly foes is drink" said
David LloYd-George, chancellor of the
exchequer. in promising to bring be-
fore the British cabinet a plea for to-
tai prohibition of the sale OF intoX
icating liquors during the rest of the
war.
Expressing his views to a deputa-
ton of the Shipbuilding Employers
Federation, which made the prohibit
ton plea, Mr.. Lloyd-George intimated
that Lord Kitchener secretary for
war; Field Marshal Sir John French.
commander in chief of the British in
the field, and even King George, want
ed something drastic done toward sup
preston OF liquor
The deputation urged prohibition
of the sale of liquor both in public
houses and clubs, so that all classes
would be affected alike.
1t was stated by the deputation that
although work was being carried on
night and day seven days week the
total working time on the average In
nearly all British ship yards was &C
tually less than before the war, and
the average productiveness had de-
creased. Many men were doing siren
uous work, probably as good as the
men in the trenches. but many did
not even approximate full time.
Notwithstanding curtailment of
hours they we're allowed to keep open,
the public houses in the neighborhood
of the ship yards had greatly in
creased receipts-in some cases 40
per cent. AS an instance of one Of
many cases that of battleship COM
ing in for immediate repairs was cited.
She was delayed whole day through
the absence of riveters, who were
drinking and carousng.
In one yard the riveters had been
working on the average only forty
hours a week, and in another yard
only thirty-six hours.
The deputation, which included rep
resentatives of the leading shipbuild-
ers of the country, drew attention to
the example set by France and Russia
and urged on the chancellor the need
of drastic action.
The chancellor in his reply said the
reason why the government had not
taken more drastic action on the liquor
question was that 1t needed to be as
sured 1t was not going adverse to
| public sentiment; otherwise more
harm than good would be done.

BATTLE NEAR AT MATAM0R0S
carranza and Villa Officers Warned
by Bryan Against Dropping
Shells Into American City
This Side of Line.

Washington, March 30.-The prob
able Smelling of the city of Brownsville
by the artillery of Villa or Carranza in
the next battle at Matamoros caused
the war department to order three bat
teries of artillery from San Antonio
to Brownsville and to order a regi-
ment of infantry to be held in reserve
at Texas City for duty at Brownsville.
These orders were issued after a
conference at the war department be-
tween officials there and Senator Shep.
pard of Texas.
The war department announced that
the American guns would not be used
except on express order from Wash
ington.
If shells begin falling in Brownsville
General Funston must report the fact
to Washington and await orders before
he fires back.
Bryan Is Optimistic.
Notwithstanding the alarming
stories of danger to the citizens of
Brownsville, Secretary Bryan would
not admit that the situation there was
to be regarded as very serious. He was
rather inclined to ridicule the idea
that there was cause for alarm, saying
that he had heard that two shots had
been fired from the American side into
Mexican territory"
Bryan sent dispatches to Carranza
and Villa telling them to prevent firing
across the line. He said that he had
received assurances that the request
of the department will be complied
with.
Prepare for Final Attack.
The confidential agency of General
Villa at Washington issued a state
ment that the "Carranzistas have de-
liberately intrenched themselves in
such a position as to compel the Villa
troops to fire in the direction of
Brownsville
The conventionalist forces, it is
stated, are at Las Rusius, about four
and onehalf miles from Matamoros,
preparing for the final attack.
Funston Goes to Brownsville.
San Antonio, Tex, March 30-Three
batteries of the Third field artillery,
including $50 men and IL guns, are en-
training for Brownsville. Maj. Gen.
Frederick Funston departed last night
for Brownsville. He had served for
NAL notice on the commanders of the
two forces that they will be held per-
sonally responsible for shots fired into
the Texas town. The American troops
will be prepared to enforce the order.
