LANE WRITES
 TO METLAKAHTLA PEOPLE

As evidence of his good intentions, the greatest friend of Alaska, Frank lin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, has caused a personal letter over his own signature to be sent to nearly ev- cry inhabitant of Metlakahtla, in which he declares that his intention is to help them in every way, and shows the interest he Is taking in their welfare. The letters are dated October 2, 1915, and are as follows i: To the Mayor and Council of Ann
 cite Islands Reserve and to the In-
 habitants of the Metlakahtla, Greet
 ing:
 Having learned that some of the people of Metlakahtla have been led to believe that the action of the Sec retary of the Interior in giving public notice of the fact that certain build ings (the sawmill, cannery, ware house, and others,) are the property of the United States for the use of the people of Metlakahtla, under the direction of the Secretary of the inr terior, and are in the possession of the United States for that purpose, endangers their right in the owner ship of the houses and lots which they hold, I am writing this letter to as- sure them and all others that this is not true in any sense. On the con- trary, the purpose of the Secretary in taking thie eaction is to confirm the in- habitants of Annette Islands in all their individual rights and semi-pub- lie character, and to make the prop critics which are held for the use and benefit of all the people most profit able to the whole community. I have asked the Commissioner of Education to assist in working out plans for this, and he will confer with the Council of Annette Islands Reserve from time to time.
 It is my purpose to do all can to help the Council of the Annette Isl- ands Reserve and the people of Met lakahtla to restore their town to it's original prosperity and more, and to make of it a place in which all may find profitable employment and live happily. This will require time, pa tience, wisely directed energy, and the hearty cooperation which I feel sure you will give.
 With best wishes for every individ- ual inhabitant of Annette Islands and for the prosperity of the community as a whole, am,
 Cordially yours,
 FRANKLIN K. LANE,
 Secretary Interior.

LESS SAVAGE THAN THEY LOOK
Mildest hammered Bunch of Savages
that Ever Took a Scalp will be
Here Tomorrow

The greatest athletic novelty in the
world is the Nebraska Indian baseball
team which has created so much COM
ment by its brilliant playing during
its seventeen years of travel through
out the United States and Canada. 1t
is a-rare and novel sight to see a
team of ball players all of whom are
marvelously expert and also who are
genuine Indians. When they come to
the field with scowling faces and
savage warwhoops some of the timid
people in the grand stand grow ner-
vcus but the Indians are only show
ing their irrepressible spirits and
never have trouble with anyone. 1t
will be a great treat to see them play
the home team at Hunter Park to-
morrow afternoon.
On account of the rains, the home
team has had no chance for practice
this week, but the boys are full of
spunk, and are going to give the Wis
itors a battle royal.

BRITISH CLAIM THEY ARE
JUSTIFIED

Washington, Aug. 4.-Great Brit
aims reply to the latest American
representation against interference
with neutral commerce as made pub
lie last night, rejects entirely the con-
tention that the orders in council are
illegal, and justifies the British course
as wholly within international law.
"Unsustainable either in point of
law or upon the principles of inter-
national equity" the British reply
terms the American protests against
the blockade of neutral ports. Great
Britain then invites submission to in
ternational. arbitration of any cases in
which the United States is dissatis-
fled with the action of the British
prize courts. The British reply was
contained in two notes, one of which
was supplemental.
With the notes was made public the
correspondence over the British seiz-
ure of the American steamer Neches,
en route TO Rotterdam to the United
States with German goods. In this
Great Britain declines to allow the
free passage of goods originating in
Germany or in territory Germany
controls. The Neches cargo came from
Belgium.
The changed conditions in warfare,
the British note contends, requires a
new application of the principles of
international law. 1t points out that
with submarines, mines and aero
planes, it is not impossible to keep a
Gordon of battleships from surround
ing a port which il desires to block
ade. The present blockade by which
Great Britain seizes cargoes consign-
ed to neutral countries, but which it
believes is intended for Germany, is
defended on the grounds that the uni
versally recognized fundamental prin-
ciples of international law is that a
belligerent is entitled to cut off "by
effective means the sea borne COM
merce of his enemy" 1t also recites
various German atrocities, including
the sinking of the Lusitania, declaring
these necessitate that Great Britain
leave no justifable method of defense
unused.
The British note reiterates that
Great Britain will continue to apply
her orders in council, but will use ev-
cry effort to avoid embarrassing neu-
trails. 1t points out that American
statistics show that any loss in trade
with Austria and Germany has been
more than overbalanced by the in
crease in other industrial activities
due to the war. 1t takes up the
United States blockade of the COnfed
eracy during the civil war and says
the United States developed and
changed the methods by which the
principles of international law were
made effective to particular cases.

ANOTHER WEEK MAY SAVE
WARSAW

London, Aug. Stubborn Rus
sian resistance and slow progress of
the Austro- German advance for the
last few days has led to the belief in
some quarters that the Germans are
short of ammunition.
The governor-g general of Warsaw
was still at. his post Sunday and mil
itary critics believed, that if the Rus
sian line could hold a week longer
Russia might yet save Warsaw. On
the other hand the previous slowing
down of the Germans has been fol-
lowed by greater efforts later. Berlin
records further advances along the
Vistula and in Ivangorod and Nowo-
Alexandria sections, also in the
Chelm-Lublin region, despite vigorous
opposition.

BRITISH BUILT A
TIN BATTLESHIP
Drove the Austrian Monitors from
Control Of the Danube

Drove the Austrian Monitors from
Control of the Danube
Liverpool, Aug. 4.-The story of the
work which British military and naval
men have been doing in Serbia, men,
tion of which has heretofore been pro-
hibited by the British censors, was
told for the first time in a lecture
given here last week by DIR. Crawford
Price.
81 am now at liberty to mention
the fact that British troops are fight
ing side by side with the Serbians,"
said DIR. Price. "When it became
necessary to put an end to the Aus
trian monitors on the Danube, the ma
terial at the service of the Serbians
was primitive. The British govern
ment having given its consent, a Brit
ISL officer arrived on the scene. He
was, in fact, the greatest secret that
ever stalked through Serbia. In few
weeks time he had the Austrian moni-
tors bottled up.
"When the Serbians returned to
Belgrade after the evacuation anoth-
er detachment of British troops ar
rived with them. A few days later
the Serbians made an attack upon one
Of the islands in the Danube. The
Austrians suddenly saw in the dark
huge heavily armored craft bristl-
ing with cannon bearing down upon
them, and they promptly evacuated
the island.
"They could not imagine the origin
or this river dreadnaught, which as
matter of fact had been carefully con-
structed by the British, and which
had formerly been a barge, but was
now covered with painted tin plates
and mounted two machine guns be-
hind the bows. Another boat little
bigger than a ferry boat was rugged
out later and gained the name Of
the Terror Of the Danube. 1t was fit
ted with torpedoes and with Lieut..
Kerr accounted for one Of the Aus
trian monitors"

Storm Played Havoc in Several
Eastern Cities
MANY LIVES LOST AND PROPERTY DAMAGE REACHES INTO
THE MILLIONS
ASSOCIATED Preas)

Erie, Pa, Aug. 4-The streets
here were rivers of running water
this morning as a result of last nights
unprecedented storm. Probably twen-
ty-five people perished during the
storm, fourteen bodies having been re-
covering up to 9 o'clock this morning.
The damage is estimated at three
million dollars. Scores of homes and
dozens of factories along Millcreek
valley were swept away and hundreds
OF people are homeless today.
An all-day rain that fell steadily
for nearly twelve hours, eliminated in
a cloudburst, three inches of rain
being registered for six hours. The
rain continued to fall throughout the
night. The Glenwood dam, which is
three miles above the city, gave way
under the strain, and a wall of water
swept through the city, carrying ev-
erything in its path that would float
before it.
The flooded district comprises an
area of eight blocks, a mile wide by
a mile in width. The telephones lines,
transit, gas and electric service of all
kinds are paralyzed and there is con-
siderable danger from the loose-ends
of high-tension wires throughout the
flood district. Guards have been sta
toned around the district. Details of
and rescues are meager.
There are a dozen or more passen-
ger trains stalled here.

STORM WAS FIERCE IN NEW
YORK CITY

New York, Aug. MANY streets
in the lower part of Manhattan island
are yellow rivers today; the surface
and elevator traffic is badly crippled,
telephone and telegraph wires are a
tangled network throughout the city,
trees were flooded and general havoc
was wrought this morning by a tor
rental downpour that accompanied a
sixty-mile gale.
Nearly three inches of rain fell of
Sandy Hook. The schoon V. B. Chase
was sunk and the captain and one
sailor drowned. Four of the crew
were rescued.
Along the northern New Jersey
coast the damage is difficult to esti-
mate. Seabright was again battered
by the elements. Water is two and
three feet deep in many streets in
Brooklyn and New York. No fatalities
have been reported.

to Great Britain's replies to the lat

The answer is forthcoming shortly.
The American reply will admit un-

tween ships on the high seas and
ships which go to British ports and
try to run the blockade. America
contests the legality of taking the for
mer.
