FINDS LESSON IN THE. WAR
Dean Hodges Points Out Four Things'

Great Struggle.

That there are four great lessons be-
ing taught by the present war in Eu'
o was the declaration Of Dean
George Hodges Of Cambridge Theolog-
ical seminary, former rector Of Cal
vary Episcopal church, Cambridge, In
a sermon on THE War" from the pull
pit he used to occupy in Calvary. re-
Gently.
This wal will teach that a nation
is not exalted by material strength
said he. ITO be exalted a nation must
have, besides material strength, the
true ideals of brotherhood. The sec
ond lesson that this war is teaching is
| that might is not right, and any nation
that thinks so to the contrary will re-
| gret it. The third lesson is that peo-
| pie have been wrong in saying that
men are invincibly selfish, for this war
| offers thousands and thousands OF
cases of men gladly giving up their
| lives. The fourth lesson is hat the
| old belief that wal is glorious Is a
| false belief. Wal Is far from glorious
and we are realizing it today as never
before. Because of the neglect OF ma
tional Christianity we find this war
existing today. Chi ptianity issfor ma

Dust Clouds Armies Make.

An army on the march along dry
roads naturally throws up very heavy
dust clouds. To those who haven't
been trained one dust cloud looks very
much like another. but to a soldier
these dust clouds tell a very clear
story.
The dust clouds thrown up by in
fantry, for examplR hangs in a low
thick cloud. The longer the cloud
the more men underneath 1t. and q
scout can. by this, means. make a fair
ly accurate guess Of the number Of
men on the march
Cavalry on tho march sends up 6
dust cloud that Is much higher ant
thinner than that Of infantry. Tn
most distinctive Of these dust clouds
however, is that made by wagons ant
heavy guns. The dust rises In litth'
groups Of clouds, quite different fron
tho long clouds Of cavalry and In
fantry.
So even when unable to see tn
actual cause of the dust, a scout cal

force Is passing along a road.

OUR FARMERS ARE
 VERY PROSPEROUS
Reached Enormous Total of Ten Billion Dollars.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 16.- Secretary Houston, of the agricultu- ral department, in his annual report, says that the ram and animal prod ucts of the country during the past year reached the enormous total of ten billion dollars, an increase of more than eighty-three million dol lars over the previous year.
 Never in the history of the coun- try have the tillers of the soil been so prosperous as at the present time. With few exceptions crops were good and high prices for nearly all classes of farm products have pre- vailed. The European war has caus- ed the prices of horses to be advanc- ed nearly 50 per cent and provided a strong market for meats of all kinds.
 In the western states noticeable change has taken place during the past few years, according to the sec retary's report. Farmers operating on an extensive scale no longer con fine themselves to grain growing bu, have turned to diversified farming and are realizing greater profits.

AUSTRIA WILL ASK FOR MORE TIME Reply to President Wilson will Claim that America was not Justified
 In Demand by Evidence.

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 16.-It is re ported from Vienna that the reply of the Austrian government to Presi- dent Wilson's demand for deails as to the sinking of the Italian liner An coma, will claim that the evidence upon which the President is acting is not sufficient to justify his conclu- sions. It is also reported that the Austrian government will ask for more time in order that an exchange of views may be made concerning the activities of the submarines.
 The Austrian officials contend that they are not in possession of the in- formation desired by the President as the government has been unable to get into communication with the commander of the submarine which sank the Ancona. The reply to the American note will, it is understood, he couched in conciliatory language, as the Austrian government wishes to avoid a severance of diplomatic re- lations with the United States if it can be avoided.

HAS BIG CONTRACT
 IN THE INTERIOR
Four Hundred Tons of Freight to be Moved from Strelna Station
 to Nugget Creek Mine.

I James E. Wilson, the Valdez con- tractor and freighter, who has just completed the contract for delivering freight to the government stations along the road from Valdez to the interior as far as Donnelly's road house on the Delta, is in town for a few days and will leave for Chitina as soon as he has secured a big con- tract there.
 The government contract was for the delivery of one hundred and twenty tons of supplies for the sta tions between the coast and Don nelly's, a distance of 244 miles. He employed twenty-six horses on the work and completed the contract be- fore deep snow or cold weather in- terfered with operations.
 The new contract which MT. Wilson has secured is for the delivery of four hundred tons of machinery, fuel and supplies from Strelna station to Mug get creek for the Alaska Copper Cor poration. Chas. Payne will have charge of the work of moving the freight for the mining company, and will have Bert Gauthier, Alex La Roux, J. o. Stevens and Chris Ander- son as his crew.
 MT. Wilson states that present in- dications point to greater activities in the interior mines during the com ing year than ever before, and that many big operators are preparing to take in shipments to their properties as soon as conditions on the trails are right. He has under considera- tion a contract for delivering freight to Valdez creek for the Valdez Creek Placer Mines, the Boston Syndicate, which is among the largest operators in Alaska They will install another hydraulic plant next summer and the pipe and machinery will be taken in over the winter trail soon after the beginning of the new year.
 The syndicate of California people which took over the Swanson hold ings on Slate creek, will also send in hydraulic plant and has offered the contract for. it's delivery to MT. Will son. The freight will go in via Chit ina
 MT. Wilson will have another big outfit working out from Valdez as he has secured the contract for the de livery of machinery, supplies and fuel to the Ramsey-Rutherford mine, back of Valdez. The freight to the mine will be delivered when conditions are right on the glacier.
