TRY TO TAKE yERDUN

PARIS. August l3.-The Crown Prince has uaugurated a new cam paigu for the taking of the great French fortress of Verdun which has stood like a rock since the first in- vasion and held back the German tide, The word tide apt,y suggests the posi- ton of the fortress. When the vast German line advanced into France, Verduu was encountered near the place where France, Germany and Belgium come together The Teutons like the tide, passed by on either side but the rock still stood in the center and so 1t has remained The Ger mans are now to the north, east and west of the fortress and are trying to close in from both sides at the south near St. Mihiel but there the French have struggled like Trojans to keep open the Teutonic jaws which when snapped would isolate the great fort ifcations. The Crown Prince has evidently brought up great German seize guns now and is delivering terrific cannonade. The fall of the fortress would mean the weakening of the French line and the letting loose of a German avalanche in that quarter but General JofTre is determ- ined to hold back the food at all cost. The attack is now proceeding furiously.

SHOOT ALSO MYSTERY
 TO CORDOVA PEOPLE.

That L. E. Shoot who visited Sew ard recently also caused some myst- cry in Cordova is made evident by the following from the Cordova Times;
 "Lewis E. Shoot, who is said to be a personal representative of the Sec retary of Interior, Hon. Franklin K. Lane, was a Cordova visitor yester- day. He is a passenger on the steam CT Northwestern and made the trip over the Copper River & Northwest en railway to Miles and Childs glac- iers. The trip was a revelation to Mir. Shoot and he was very enthusiastic in his praise of the wonderful sights he saw and also the thoroughly equip ped road over which he travelled. He had evidently not expected to find such a railroad in Alaska, judging from his expressions.
 From those who talked with Mr. Shoot it was learned that he was on a tour of inspection of Alaska harbor conditions for railroad terminals, with a view to their adaptability in hand ling the local coal when it is opened up and ready for market. He is on his way to Portage Bay and Anchor age, but he expects to return to Cor dova in about three weeks and study conditions here. This is Mir. Shoots first visit to Alaska, and it is under stood that he is railroad contractor in the states"

GERMAN FLEET HAS LIBAU

PETROGRAD, August 13.-The German Baltic fleet has now occupied Libau and is using it as a base for operations against the Russian fleet and the Russian coast further east. Severe condemnation of the Russian naval authorities is being voiced for their failure to have provided an ade- quate force of submarines which might have made the Baltic danger ous for the Teutonic ships. The opinion is gaining ground that Ger many really now is preparing for a vast movement against this capital but military minds are inclined to the belief that such an undertaking would prove itself to be the rock on which Germany would split.

COUNCIL TO CUT OFF
 QUARTER FROM REALTY
Finally Comes to Conclusion that Assessments were Ridic-
 ulOusly High.

The city council, sitting as board of equalization, has decided to cut twenty-five per cent from the valua- ton of city real estate. That body has at long last discovered that the assessment was not only ridiculously high but that the imitation was al together unnecessary. By the stated reduction of the realty valuation it is now learned that the city will even then have enough to run the municip- al affairs in a reasonable manner by exercising more care than in the past, which is some consolation brought by the publicity given the financial con dition of the city.

JEWS APPEAL TO U. S.

BERLIN, August 13.-The Jewish people of the German empire have prepared an appeal to the United States government to prevent the shipment of munitions of war from that nation to the allied belligerents. The appeal is made on the ground of a fellow democratic feeling and those of humanity which, the appeal says, is menaced by the principle that when nations go to war all other nations may take part in the slaughter in directly.

 * VALDEZ PEOPLE ARE (" * BUILDING UP FAST "'

Several new buildings are now be- ing erected on the sites of the ones destroyed by the fire and few are already completed or about to be completed, according to F. C. Niles, of the Remington Typewriter com pany who came on the Mariposa, The First Bank has erected a tempor- ary building on the site of the old building. The Frye Bruhr building will be completed by the first of the month. The Daily Prospector started building on Wednesday, Judge Reed will start in two or three days.
 Mir. Niles says that the floods on the Copper River railroad have been the cause of diyerting much travel from the interior to the Valdez route for the time being and quite a large crowd went out on the Northwestern from that town. The Keunecott mine has closed temporarily owing to the inability to obtain sufficient supplies. Mir. Niles will be in Seward eight or ten days. He declares that Valdez has bright prospect ahead.

 TONIGHT AT CASINO.

The best vaudeville act that ever came to Seward, arrived this morning on the Mariposa. Oscar Wilkings, styles himself as the Knoxville Minstrels, the one man band and he is all that the name implies. He will appear at the Casino Theatre tonight in both shows.
 Owing to the expense in getting this act the prices will be raised to fifty cents.

REMINGTON STRIKE HAS
 AGAIN BROKEN OUT Machinists walk out in spite of At tempts Made to Settle
 the Dispute.

BRIDGEPORT, August 1S.-Just as the country had come to the con clusion that the great strike in the Remington factories had been obviat- ed the machinists have again declared a strike and the labor situation is worse than ever. The former strike was due to the tremendous increase of work owing to the great orders received by the company from the al lied powers for munitions of war. At that time the heads of the company declared that the disturbance was due to German intrigue and the same charges are now being levelled.

MORE TROUBLE
 FOR THE CITY
CITIZENS NOT SATISFIED WITH CUT THREATEN TO
 INVOKE LAW.

That Seward is now faced with the serious danger of going without money enough to run itself this year is a statement that can be made on the authority of some taxpayers who declared this afternoon that they now contemplate protesting the assess ment and bringing the matter before the courts. These statements were made after it became known that a twenty-five per cent reduction had been made in the assessment of real estate. This reduction has evidently not satisfied some of the largest prop erty holders and movement is now actually afoOt amongst them to dis cover whether a sufficient number can be found to protest and appeal to the courts.
 This action would be most serious and, even if necessary, would be re grettable as it means nothing less than that the city taxes could not be collected until the courts had decided the question at issue and the city would be left without funds for its most ordinary purposes. The dis satisfied taxpayers would be required
 first to protest to the equalization board and afterwards to lodge an ap- peal in the court against the valua- ton. Even from this decision of the court an appeal could be taken and the time consumed might hold up the payment of taxes for the whole year.
 It is said that the taxpayers would be sure to win as, they say, they can clearly show that the city council squandered the money of the muni- cipal treasury wantonly The city council would be compelled to prove that it provided the city with a com potent government and this, the dis satisfied taxpayers declare, the coun- cil cannot do. The whole thing is very regrettable and if the question really comes before the courts and the city cannot provide the necessary funds there will be nothing but sympathy for most of the members of the municipal governing body However, as the whole thing may soon be in litigation and in the hands of the people and the court there IS nothing for a newspaper to do but merely chronicle the facts and leave the matter to the principals. The Gateway feels that it has done only it's duty in drawing attention to the manner in which the city affairs were conducted and in helping to crystal lize public opinion. It gave early warning but now it withdraws from the controversy and leaves it in the hands of the people themselves.

BLAME HUERTA

BROWNSVILLE, August B. General Nafarette of the Carranza army has issued a statement to the effect that the supporters of Huerta are responsible for the Mexican raids across the border and that CaTanza himself, far from being responsible, is actually being made the victim of the machinations of his enemies. No further raids were reported this morning but it is expected that in- formation of more skirmishes will ar rive here today or tomorrow.

MAY MOBILIZE THE
 ENTIRE U. 5. ARMY

WASHINGTON, August 13.-That the whole United States army may be mobilized on the Mexican border i'm mediately is now admitted in official circles. It is stated, though, that armed intervention will not follow for a certainty and that it will only be resorted to if the Mexicans persist in ill-treatment of foreign residents. No official statement has been made as to the opinions held by the cabinet with respect to the raids across the border.

PETROGRAD, August 13.-The government has commenced a probe into the causes for the shortage of ammunition which has brought at least temporary disaster on our armies. It has been surmised that German agencies were the cause but am uneasy feeling exists in some quarters that corruption of Russian officials might be at the bottom of the whole matter The sentiment is so strong now on this question that the death of traitor awaits any Rus sian subject found guilty.
