FIGHTING IS Of
DESPERATE SORT
Trul0na Continue Driving
Forward Against the
Russians.
BATTLE RAGING
Claimed Russians Will Give
Stubborn Fight TO Save
the Capital.

London. June *. Although
disagreeing as 10 results. the
German official statement. and
the French and British commun-
ications Indicate that fighting in
the Arras section and at northern
and Southern parts of the short
British front is as desperate
as any the western theatre of war
has developed. The area of hos.
tilities is tiny compares with the
sweep of the Galacian front where
Austro Germans are still driving
forward.
The last few days have brought
much hard fighting. British
and French are striving to hold
trenches gained and the Germans
with the preponderance OF ma
chine guns are as promptly in
itioting a counter.
Each side dwells on the others
losses. and each emphasizes its
gains, all of which have been
costly. although comparatively
small as measured to distance.
In the east the Austro-G German
forces are nearer Galicir; they
claimto have driven the Russians
further across the frontier of Pc.
land.
The battle for Lemberg is now
raging along the fortified Grodek
line where it is predicted the
Russians will give final stub
born battle to save the capital.
The British press is finding
some solace in the reports of col
ossal human sacrifices which the
AustrO-German drive through
Galicia entailed.

FIFTEEN THOUSAND PERSONS BUY TICKETS
 FOR ALASKA PORTS

SEATTLE. Aug. S.-Approximately 15,00O persons purchased tickets in Seattle for Alaska during the four month period of April, May, June and July. according to statistics compiled by Railway and Marine News. The statistics include the Nome move ment The record Is said to be the greatest for any four months period in the history of the Northern traf- fife. The rush to Anchorage and to Seward and the influx of pleasure seekers from Eastern and Central West States proved a material factor inswelling the figures.
 Excluding Nome, st. Michael and Skagway. which always experience a rush in connection with the early June sailings, ;he bulk of the traffic was to Anchorage Seward, Juneau and Ketchikan As an equal number Of passengers win return from the North in the autumn, a banner rec ord is predicted for the calendar year.
 During the entire year of 1914. ape proNmately 3O.0OO persons were tick eted for the North The four months period ending July S1, last, according ly, equalled 90 per cent of the entire movement of 1914

SEWARD TO BE
 REAL TERMINUS
 OF THE RAILROAD


 While the new town of Anchorage. Cook Inlet, is destined to become an important and permanent port, it's de- velopment will not challenge the posi- ton of Seward as the tidewater ter minus of the governments Alaska railroad This is the conclusion reach cd by Kenneth c. Kerr, editor of the Railway & Marine News. as result of an exhaustive investigation of cen ditions in Cook Inlet and Seward. Mir. Kerr recently returned to Alaska from an extended visit to Southwest ern Alaska, in the course of which he made a thorough study of the railroad situation.
 The results of the investigations are set forth in a valuable and instruc- tive article in the August number of Railway and Marine News Illustrated with photographs of the railroad work in the North.
 Permanent Terminal.
 "There is no basis" declared Mir. ANNlf iNA tAAJ unnuAADllDu ludL LUC railroad may switch its terminal from Seward to Anchorage. and there are no lines of rivalry between the two towns. The fact that a town is to be established at Anchorage and that res ervations have been made there for educational and municipal purposes indicate, according to MT. Kerr, that Anchorage, is to be a permanent divis- ion terminal and coal port following the busy days of construction work. Matanusla coal will be handled by way of Anchorage.
 It is clear however. that Anchorage is to be the most active construction camp in the North this year and next year. It is also insured that a coal handling plant for the Matnauska coal will be established there and that the town will become a perma- nent port for all time
 Mir. Kerr also reports that all en. ergy is now being directed in the con. struction of the railroad from Anchor age to Chickaloon, so that the nation al administration can make good on its announcement that it will be able to land Matanuska coal at tidewateI in 1916.
