Women in Arms.

Think of it!
Women in arms-6ghting the bat
ties of their country!
The bitterness and horrors Of this
war should be brought forcibly
home to all civilized people by the
action of the women of France
When fighting becomes necessary
it is assumed to be the exclusive
province of man to engage in the
active fray.
And yet this frightful war has
reached the stage where the women
of Paris are recruiting regiment of
soldiers among their own sex for
duty in the field.
Men are needed on the battle line,
and this regiment Of women sold
iers will shoulder their rifles and
convoy ammunition and provision
trains, garrison conquered territory,
and perform other field duty neces-
sary in order to relieve men who are
needed at the front.
Women in arms
Has the civilization of this world
fallen so low that the mother of man
mnst sink her sex and expose her
fair breast to the mutilation of shot
and SHELF
Must she face the horrors of the
battlefield, the rigors Of a campaign
and the pestilence Of armed camps
in order that kings, empcrors and
fools may satiate their cravings for
official murder?
Women in arms
Is the lust of man for power so
great that the sacredness of woman
hood must be brushed aside, her
frailty trampled in the dust her
privacy outraged by the glare Of
camp life?
God forbid.
The patriotism Of these women is
sublime!
1t has few parellels in history,
But what a disgrace to mankind
what blow to our blood bespat.

Babies Prettier Than Ever.

Even in the midst of war France
finds time to rejoice over the fact
that its babies born during the past
six months are healthier and prettier
than ever before. 1t is a source OF
much pride to the republic.
But pretty babies is becoming an
old story in America, and no longer
occasions more than passing COM
ment.
Of all the civilized people of the
earth, there are no healthier babies
born than those of the United
States.
Of all the peoples of the world,
there are none so pretty as our
American babies.
And of all pretty babies in exist.
ence, there are none to compare with
the babies of our own town.
Our babies are the acme of perfec-
tion and beauty.
And if you doubt our simple word e,
just ask the mothers.

AGENT MOORE OF LAND
 OFFICE IN THIS CITY.
Will Proceed to Woodrow Creek to Look Into Matters at
 That Point.

J. A. Moore, agent of the United States land office, arrived last night on the Northwestern and will proceed to Woodrow creek to represent the department there. Lieutenant Mears of the engineering commission is quot ed as saying some time ago that he would have to wait the action of the land department before deciding on action with respect to the location of the squatters over there and it is now to be assumed that the department, through Mir. Moore, will arrange that matter although Mir. Moore himself declares that all he knows is that he has been sent to look into conditions and will be guided by directions from the department. At present he knows of no business that he will be asked to transact around this immediate neigh borhood and his attention will pro- bably be devoted to the country at the head of Cook Inlet. Mir. Moore is at tached to the land office at Juneau,

REAL R. R. WORK
 BEGINS JULY
NOT UNTIL FIRST OF THAT MONTH WILL CHIEF MONEY
 BE AVAILABLE

Only some half a million dollars now remain at the disposal of the government Alaska railroad commits sion and no more will be available until the First of July, according to authority which is unquestionable.
 The commission had something like one million of which it could dispose when the announcement of the termiu- al was made. Half a million of that amount has already been used in buy ing equipment, etc. and the other half a million is the amount now being used at Woodrow creek and elsewhere. The remaining two million, as stated, will be at the disposal of the com mission on the first of July and then will the greater operations begin. It is now known that the attorney gen eral only gave it as his opinion that the full thirty-fve millions given by congress can only be used to bind contracts and that amount cannot be used in cash. Therefore, after the spending of the money available this summer further permission must De obtained from congress to tap the U. s. Treasury.

AMERICANS LOST ON LINER
 AND GRAVE CRISIS ARISES

QUEENSTOWN, Ireland, May s. The survivors of the Lusitania are now arriving here and from investi- gatious made it is estimated that six hundred and fifty of them out of a total of two thousand were saved, making total loss of considerably more than a thousand people. The ship was off Kinsale, Ireland. and the passengers were at lunch when the torpedoes exploded The submarine fired four torpedoes without a warm ing. One hit the vessel in the bow and one hit the engine room. The great ship sank within half am hour after the explosions and the greatest confusion prevailed during the time between the striking by the torpedoes and the going down. In spite of this confusion, however, most of the boats were launched by the heroic efforts of the crew. Many of the survivors were badly wounded and that several of them will die is certain.

GUGGENHEIMS
 STILL AT WORK
so CALLED WASHINGTON DIS PATCHES SAY WILSON Is
 BEING CRITICIZED.

That the owners of the Copper Riv- CT railroad are still at work fighting their corner at Washington is made evident by so-called Washington dis patches which are being sent out broad cast for the purpose of creating the impression that President Wilson is being severely criticized for pur- chasing the Alaska Northern and for not purchasing the Cordova road In the Idaho Statesman, Boise, of April IS appears one of those Washington dispatches" The paper was sent here by Hutchinson, former lieuten- ant governor of that state, to Derrick Lane and Mir. Hutchinson writes note stating that there is still some work left for the Gateway to do in refuting the false statements that are now seeking publication all over the country. It is stated in this dis patch" that the Copper River road is in fine working order that it has a fire tonnage that it taps the finest sort of mineral country as we'll as be- ing in a position to easily tap the Bering River fields, while it states that the Alaska Northern is not being operated, has no tonnage present or in sight and is generally white ele- phant. The dispatch" bless the mark, also says that President Will son is being accused of failing to buy the Copper River railroad because of the fear of muckrakers. What there is to refute in all this is not evident. One cannot refute rot, and if that stuff is not rot there is no such thing as rot. But, surely, one can see the fine Italian hand directing the publi- cation of such rubbish.

HAD OVER ?, 900 ABOARD.

NEW YORK, May S.-The officers of the Cunard company, owner of the Lusitauia, say that five to six hundred people were saved when the big ship was sent to the bottom Friday after noon She had twelve hundred and fifty passengers aboard at the time and eight hundrd and sixteen of a crew, making a total of more than two thousand souls. She had a three quarters cargo and was insured for five millions. The sinking has caused the greatest consternation in shipping circles but another Cunarder, the Pennsylvania, sailed this morning for Queenstown and Liverpool just the same. Notwithstanding the tremend- ous uneasiness created only twelve bookings out of nine hundred on the Pennsylvania have been cancelled through fear of another catastrophe.

LONDON REPORTS GERMAN OF FENSIvE REFUSED IN

LONDON, May 8.-The battle of Ypres is continuing severe. The Ger mans are still delivering their attacks on our positions and those of our allies with the object of breaking through to the French coast but the official com muniques from the British command CT in chief, as published here, do not contain any information that could be construed as meaning that the enemy is gaining any advantage.
 It is also announced today that bad weather is preventing important fight ing in northern France. The Ger mans delivered vigorous assault on the allied lines in the region of the Argonne yesterday but were repulsed with heavy losses. The news from other parts of the line is not note worthy.

PETROGRAD SAYS GERMANS FAILED TO DIVERT RUSSIANS

PETROGRAD, May S.-The Com bined German and Austrian operations in western Galicia have failed in their chief object which was to divert the Russians from the Carpathians. We are still continuing our offensive in those mountains where the progress of the fighting is reported to be favor able to our arms. The battle in west Galicia is still proceeding and our generals have the hope that we can hold the enemy there if not re- pulse him and drive him back. The recerse sustained by us in the western part of the province is regarded here as by no means so serious as Berlin stated it to be.

ROOSEVELT WANTS WAR.

SYRACUSE, May S.-Theodore Roosevelt, former president, gave out a statement to the press today in which he describes the action of Ger many in sinking the Lusitania as murder and piracy He urges this nation to take action and he urges it in such a manner that his words hard ly mean less than an exhortation to the government to declare war again st Germany.
 LONDON, May Tt is believed at lIcsent that all the passengers on the great liner Lusitania are safe. She went down at two-thirty in the af - noon while the sea was calm and when many vessels were in the neighbor- hood to render assistance. The theory that she was destroyed by an internal machine from the inside is very strongly doubted and the story is be- lieved to be due to the desire of the authorities to minimize the danger from German submarines. That a sub marine really torpedoed the ship is now generally believed The event continues to be the chief subject of conversation and the British people have been incensed as they never were before. There was a rumor that the vessel was floated two hours after having been torpedoed Friday after noon but as the government seems to be determined not to give out much information rumors cannot be avoided.
 NEW YORK, May 7.-The first re- port of the sinking of the Lusitania caused veritable torrent of selling orders. War supplies stock also jumped and the fate of the liner is sure to exercise an important effect generally on shipping interests.

DID MEARS SAY THIS?

Lieut.. Frederick Mears of the AL aska engineering commission, who was on board the Mariposa last night accompanied by 50 men who will be engaged in the work of establishing a supply base at Ship creek for the commission, told Agent E. J. Shaw of the Alaska Steamship Co. that there would not likely be much work done on the new railroad until along to- wards the end of the summer. The main object at present, he said, is to get the supply base and the Alaska Northern railroad out of Seward, which the government has purchased, in shape for the pushing forward of work when everything is ready (Skagway Alaskan.)
