MARIAN HEADS
 BRITISH ARMY
HERO OF BOER WAR IS AP- POINTED TO LEAD IN
 GREECE AND SERBIA.

LONDON, Oct. 29.-Lieutenant- General Sir Bryan Mahan has been appointed by the government as com mander-in-chief of the British armies taking part against the Teutons in Greece and Serbia. The with drawal of General Sir Ian Hamilton from the Dardanelles is now known to have been due to dissatisfaction with his conduct of the campaign and his fall is confirmed. General Monroe who succeeded to Hamilton's place was regarded only as a sub stitute for a time and his temporary appointment was due to the fact that he was on the spot. Mahan will be commander-in-chief of all the forces south of. the Balkans. He became famous as the commander of the eX- petition which marched to the relief of Mafeking in the BOer war and since the beginning of the present war has gained new laurels. The fact that he had not received one of the highest commands in the present war before this time has been the cause of much comment. His ap- pointment now places the two chief command of the active British armies in the hands of Irishmen, Sir John French being the other.

GREAT BLAZE
 SEATTLE DOCK
OVER HALF MILLION DOLLARS DAMAGE AND GERMAN
 PLOTTERS SUSPECTED.

SEATTLE, Oct. 29.-A second great fire occurred last night on Pier Fourteen, causing more than half a million of dollars in damage and the belief is general that it was caused by German plotters as the dock has been used and is still being used for the loading of munitions of war for the allied nations in Europe. Up to the present the origin of the blaze is mysterious. The two fires occurred within week and the cause of neith- CT has been discovered. The one last night began on the second floor of the pier building and the damage to the structure itself is estimated at forty thousand dollars. The loss to mer- chandlSe IS estimated at rom nVe hundred to seven hundred thousand dollars. The latter loss was chiefly to a four million dollar cargo of tea hemp, rice, etc, which was being dis charged from the Oriental liner Ixion. No one doubts the incendiary origin of the confagration and longshoreman with a German name has already been arrested but he claims to be a Norwegian. Nearly all the fire fighting apparatus of the city was called out to fight the flames and great crowds assembled to wit ness it.

POPE FAILS TO SAVE
 A BELGIAN NOBLEMAN

AMSTERDAM, Oct 29.-It is re- ported today on the best authority that Count Joseph Dehemptinne, member of a noted Belgian family of noblemen, was executed by the Ger mans at Ghent on October 26 for aid ing the enemy. Pope Benedictus tried in his case to have the death sentence commuted and made a per sonal appeal to the kaiser as he did in other similar cases recently, but the German authorities refused to in- terfere with the sentence of the courtmartial that condmned the count. It is even said that no heed whatever was paid to the pOpe's ap- peal

WILLARD WOULD RUN FOR
 CONGRESS REPORTS SAY

Private advices received by the Gateway are to the effect that Sena- tor Willard will accept the candidacy of the Republicans for the race for congress if it is offered. This has not come from Willard directly but it is stated by one who is in a position to know. AS matters look now it ap- pears to be almost certain that the colonel will face the voters next time. Fairbanks papers recently ar irving speak of Bunnell as likely candidate on the Democratic ticket and no repudiation has yet come from the judge himself.

PROTESTS AGAINST
 DISTRICT ATTY. REMOVAL
Commercial Club Communicates With Attorney Generals Depart
 ment on the Matter.

At a meeting of the Commercial Club held last evening it was resolved to dispatch to the department of justice a strong protest against the removal of the office of the assistant district attorney from Seward to Val deg. It is pointed out that owing to the growing importance of Seward as the terminal of the government rail road there was never a time when the office was more badly needed here. The same indignation was evident at the meeting which has been express ed all over town and district since the intention of moving the office became known. There is a strong inclination to believe that the proposal to remove the office is spite work.

 < FOR ANCHORAGE .:

A new publication is about to ap- pear in Anchorage. This was known yesterday but a pause was made be- fore announcing anything about it as there is always room for suspicion about the establishment of new pub lications when the field is fully cov- cred. Now the Gateway is in a posi- ton to say that an agitation is about to be started that will do the country no good. The Gateway and other con- sevative ones in Alaska, which have the interests of the workers at heart just as much as anyone, have drawn attention from time to time to wage and other questions connected with the railroad but there is always dang CT in the sheets that have neither the experience or ability to be news papers" and are compelled to live off the ofral. There ought to be a law to license newspapers like dogs. It would save the decent ones.

GARRISON TALKS ON

Mohonk Lake, N. Y, May 20.-The
problem of ornaments, which has
evoked more discussion than any

bitration. was brought to the front
again to-day by an address of Secre-
tary of War Garrison. The secre-
tary's topic was, The Problem of Ma
tional Defense
To deliver the address he made n
hasty trip from Washington, using
train, automobile and blackboard to
reach this retreat in the Shawangunk
mountains. He departed Immediately
after speaking so hat he might reach
Washington in time for the cabinet
meeting to-morrow.
Mr.. Garrison's address was not as
radical as that delivered yesterday by
President Hibben of Princeton, along
somewhat similar lines, but he left
no doubt of the fact that he favored
strengthening the national defenses
and making the United States ready to
protect itself from n and all ag-
erosion.
II am utterly out of sympathy" he
declared, with the idea that we
should neglect or postpone consider
alton of what is now the existing CON
dition, because Of a hope or a belief
or even conviction that it may be al
tered, even radically altered in the
future.
Our isolation" he continued. sis

tons have caused the interests of ma
tions to be as correlated as those of
families who nave intermarried. In

to-day are in extricably interviewer
with those of some or all of the others.
Self respect requires that we
should be prepared to protect that
which we cherish, which not only in
cludes u material possession. but
that intangible something which
makes us q distinctive nation in the
