GERMAN SOLDIERS
 SEND PAY H0Nt

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 BERLIN, Jan. 26-That the German soldier has carried with him into the war his well-known habits of thrift Is shown by the amount of money that he is sending home to his family. A post-offlce official of Dresden has r.r the amount of money sent home by gently shown in a public addres that soldiers for the Dresden district in November reached s55O,OOO Assum- ing that the like ratio prevails for all the rest of Germany he estimated that he soldiers sent home $24,000 ,000 in November. This sum appears all the more striking when it is recalled that the pay of the German private soldier is only 12 cents day The amounts sent through the postoftice are often less than $2,50, and not a few cases less than one dollar.
 A Socialist paper commenting upon these large savings remarks: This large sum of $24.OOO.OOO reflects the sobriety of the German soldier, his in trinsic decency and his strength of character; even in the widest turmoil of the bitterest struggle of history he does not forget the good habits of his home which he formed in times of peace. Among the laurels that our | troops are winning before the enemy | it is also high title of honor that they use their petty wages economically and do not forget their families or to l look forward to times of peace

LONDON's DOCK
 CONGESTION CLEARING
(By Associated Press Correspondence,

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 LONDON, Jan. 26-The newspaper charge that choas exists at the Lon. don docks, with the implication that high wages have caused the dock lab. orers to drink instead of work. is de. nied by J. c. Broodbank, chairman of the dock and warehouse committee of the port of London authority.
 MT. Broodbank admits that the con gestion has at times been severe since the outbreak of the war, but the improvement toward normal condl- tions is rapid and a few weeks ought to see the wharves fairly we'll cleared.
 The real trouble is due to the fact that the needs of the army and navy come before those of the merchants. Military and naval shipments are en. ormous. Although the war called away large numbers of reservists from the docks, there are 5000 men em- ployed this month as against 4,OOO at the same time last year. In addition, the London port authorities have had to send something like 1900 trained steVedores to French ports, particu. larly Havre, to help handle the mili- tary shipping there.
 To mention some of the additional burdens that war has thrown upon the port of London, the years sugar supply purchased by the government has to come through here; about 15O army transports ply in and out of the Thames; merchant ships are diverted to London which ordinarily are berth ed in other ports now closed for naval reasons; and all of the various sup plies such as Australian wool, lately held up by the exploits of the Elm den, are beginning to arrive.

DELEGATE WILL COME
 NORTH NEXT SUMMER

That James Wickersham, delegate from Alaska. will probably spend the coming summer in Fairbanks. is the word contained in letter from the delegate to his brother, Ed Wicker sham. The delegate, however, also states that if there is an extra session of congress, he will be compelled to remain in Washington until 1t is over, which would curtail the length of time he would be allowed to remain north It is understood that Mrs. Wickersham will accompany her husband north.
 Other advices received are to the effect that the delegate will first go to Juneau where he will be in attend ance at the session of the Alaska legislature. It is presumed that he will then go to Fairbanks.
 Since Delegate Wickersham was first elected to represent Alaska in congress in 1908, he and his wife have spent but very little time in Fairbanks, their residence there be- ing interspersed with long periods of absence on account of the delegates official business at Washington.

GERMANY $ LOSS OF WIRELESS
 |S FELT

| (By Associated Press Correspondence)
 LONDON. Jan. 26-The wireless World has received from Berlin a CODY of a communique recently published by the German Colonial Office, describ ing the serious loss suffered by Ger many through the destruction of her chain of wireless stations. The com munique says:
 Soon after outbreak of war all com. munication with their colonies by sea was broken, and all German trans marine cables were cut by the Eng. fish, so that even telegraphic com munication with the whole of our col. onies was rendered impossible. The only remaining means of communl. cation was wireless telegraphy. but the first warlike measure of the Eng fish were directed to depriving us of this means also. On August 12 fell the wireless station Tap, and soon af- rewards the station Naru. Tasigata (Samoa) fell on August go. and Bitap- aka, in New Pomeraina, on September 12. During the night of August .24 the great station of Kamina. in Togo. had to be destroyed by us to prevent it's capture.
 50 vanished all possibility of fur ther direct communication with the African Protectorates, which hitherto had been able to communicate via Ka- nina. As a matter of fact, there had been from the very beginning a dis turbance of the system which pre-. vented us from receiving any reports from the Governor of East Africa af ter the outbreak of war. And so the material which we have here collect. ed, and which, in the main. reached Berlin by circuitous routes and very late, and is mostly derived from pri- yate letters or from enemy newspa- CTS, must necessarily remain fragmen- tary, and some of 1t must also be re- garded as untrustworthy."

BERLIN SCHOOLS NUT
 AFECTEO BY WAR

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 BERLIN, Jan. 26--War has made very little change in the aspect of the BIO public schools of Berlin, which continue their educational work with out interruption, Of the 5000 men teachers a large percentage was called to the colors and of them over 100 have been killed or have died of their wounds. Their places in the schools have been taken for the most part by temporary substitutes. many of them women, but in some cases 1t has been found necessary to combine classes.
 The high schools and the University have been more severely affected, as 1,500 university students were of mili- tary age and many high school boys enlisted as volunteers. The total numeber of students entered at the university for the current winter term was S,O35 instead of over 10000 as in times of peace. Women students number 900, about the same figures as usual.

DESCRIBES FIGHT WITH TURCOS
 AT D|XMUDE

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 ANTWERP, Jan. 26-A story told by Berlin school teacher confirms what may have been said about the bloodiness of the fighting which took place in the streets of Dixmude.
 The teacher, and two other Berlin landwehr men.--a lawyer and a pub lisher-were entering that little town in Flanders with other German sol. diers by some of the main streets, when they became the prey of Turcos in hiding. They darted from narrow sidestreets and houses, and as eye wit nesses relate, sprang upon the heavier Germans like so many tigers.
 The three Berlin landwehr men had just rounded one of the corners of the city hall, when they were seperat- ed from their comrades by rush of Turcos from the fire station There was nothing they could do but back into a door opening. and here they tried to keep a large crowd of yelling Turcos at bay. What happened next is best told by the teacher, who now has the less exciting job of doing sen try duty on one of the local wharves, for which detail a rather large wound in the thigh is responsible.
 "The Turcos went at us with might and main," he said. q can still see their rolling eyes and white teeth. They seemed to literally thirst for our blood. But their yelling and shouting was worse, perhaps, than their efforts to finish the three of us. Every time we put a bullet into one of them, or jabbed the bayonet home, the awful racket the fellows made with their leather-lined threats increased.
 But we kept on shooting into the crowd, delaying the end which seem ed all too close.
 Finally one of us three. the pub fisher, went down with shot in the head-skull fractured. The Turcos thought that now they would put an end to the business. So also thought a French officer, who went down a second later with the bayonet of the lawyer sticking in his chest. Then the lawyer went down. l was alone then, and thought it was all over.
 Just then large flash rose from the ground before me The explos- ion which followed the voices of the yelling Turcos. Then I went down
  with my thigh split wide open by one of the splinters of the shell.
 "The spot was a sight, when I re- gained my sense. Dead and mutilated Turcos everywhere. We were found about eight o'clock that night, and none too soon. My comrades are still in the hospital. They are men over forty and not quite so likely to re- lperate rapidly"
 All three have been given the iron cross second class.

False Reports Circulated as to
Business in Coal Fields.

Several times reports have
been sent from Whitesburg To
some of the leading papers of
the State To the effect that the
coal business in Jenkins, Nc
Roberts, and Fleming had as
sumcd great proportion. Even
one report says that the Con-
solidation Coal Company had
sold 90,0O0,0o0 tons and that
business would Immediately
begin on big scale, and that
many laborers would be needed.
This was copied into nearly
every paper in the UnitedStates.
AS Il result, many labprers came
to jenkins and McRoberts ex
pecting to find work, and spend
ing all the poney they had to
come. These me laborers
were surprised To find that very
little business was being done,
and they could consequently
get nothing to do, and if they
had not received aid from
friends. or some one, much dis
tress would have insued.
All this could have been
avoided by telling the facts that
really exist. The coal busin, SIS
at Jenkins, ,McRoberts and
Fleming has been suffering
from the general business de-
preston of the whole country.
and there IS a very limited
amount of coal being mined
now. We doubt very much if
the coal mined in this section
of the country would pay the
interest on fixed charges.
These erroneous reports do
no good to any one, and do a
real injury TO the community
and laborers.
Mr.. Gillette, the General
Manager of the Elk horn Divis-
ion of the Consolidated Coal
Company, says To us. that he
viii gladly tell the exact status
of affairs at any time, and
hopes that no exaggerated re-
ports will hereafter be scnt.
This part of the country is
destined TO be n greut producing
held, and il is aho duty of all To
join hands and do what they
can To help bring great results.
The time may soon come when
laborers will be much needed,
and because of the existing con
dltions, they would not come. -
