MORGAN JOINS
 JUNEAU MEN

Juneau, July 29-In an interview with w. ?. Lass this afternoon it was learned that J. Pierpont Morgan interests had bought into the Speel River Project and that the transfer of authority was made during his recent visit to San Francisco.
 As announced by the Empire last spring it was the intention of Messrs. Kennedy and Lass 10 in stall all initial hydro-electric plant at Speel river this summer and to this end a corporation was formed in which all outstanding interests were offered their full share of the stock.
 The matter was then laid before tue department at Washington who approved the plans as outlined and granted the corporation a permit to develop the power. At the time liti- Sation was begun against the com pany asking that the entire property be sold Mir. Kennedy and Mir. Lass were completing final details for the development of one of the larg- est installations on the Pacific Coast. They had already purchased ten thousand horse power electrical machinery and were actively in vestigating the supply of iron and aluminium ores for use in the cleo tric furnaces.
 Mr. Lass states that due to the litigation and opposition of the outstanding one-Quarter interest, their plans have been abandoned and that the machinery and large generators that had been purchased for the SpeeI River Development, are now stored in San Francisco.
 The plans of their associates, as r, r,prese1ted by the new board of di- rectors, will not be made known un- til after the arrival of their engi- neT.
 MT. Frank Drum, the newly elect cd president of the SDeel River Project, is also president of the Pacific Gas and Electric company which is the dominating power com pany for a large portion of Cali fornia. This company has a total liability capitalization of $76- 4S1, 1,5OO.-Empire.

The new lead was uncovered while build ing a trail up the mountain side.

Londcn. July 3O-Advices from Warsaw state that that city Is in the rhr0cs cr abandonment and that evacuation k expected hourly, as the Germans are before the gates of the city in overwhelming num- bcrS. German aviators are hover ing cvsr the city. Many important places have been dynamited by the derrIdcrs in preparation for their departure, apparently determined that this victory, for which Ger many has sacrificed fully 100000 men and unlimited treasure, shall be made practically barren of re- suit.
 The almost inCOnceiVable magni- tuds of the movement against War ssrw and the Russian railroad sys- tem may be partly cOmprehended when 1t is stated that the Russians have been holding @ great line from the Gulf of Riga sweeping southweStward, around Warsaw, thence encircling that city and stretching away to the southward to the Galician frontier near Sokal. Along the this long line there have been more than a halt million men lost since the offensive movement was started. The fighting has been terrific in nearly every sec ter oI it.
 The German attack has been made with skill, with unlimited mil itary equipment and q bravery that reckoned not the cost in men and material. The Russian resistance has been equally able, and main

broader meaning than Anchorage" |" The suggestion has caused a great deal of comment, and all classes of peo3le are becoming interested in q new name for the newest city in Al asFa.
 Among the names that have been suggested are "Matanuska," Alas ka City," Terminal" wood row." and Wilson City"
 In a letter to the Cook Inlet Pio- neer, Lieut.. Frederick MearS of the railroad engineering commission sug- gested "Matanuska," saying that the town that will be established at the coal fields could then be called "Chickaloon."
 The letter follows:
 "Following the expressed wish ot the Governor that a new name be given to the town of Anchorage, 'Matanuska' is suggested as being appropriate beacause of the geo graphical position of the town in re- Iation to the coal fields.
 This will doubtless be the ship ping point for Matanuska coal and is a name well known throughout the United States, identifying this section Of Alaska.
 "The town In the coal fields could be called 'Chicaloon' and the junction could be designated Chick aloon Junction.
 'If this name meets with approV- al of the residents, l would be pleased to suggest it to the pro- per authorities.
 "The Cook Inlet Pioneer has kindly consented to recive votes on this name and publish the result ln next weeks issue.

RUSSIANS GENERALS DECIDE ID
 RETREAT FROM CITY OF WARSAW

taihed with a stubbOrnness never eNcelIed.
 Correspondence and official re- ports from the west agree that Ian guage is inadequate to describe the ferocity of the fighting that is ill progress and which has been un- der way for several days along the Naraw river, north of Warsaw and along the line of the Lublin-Chelm railroad, which the Germans are at tempting to seize and against which they renewed their attacks today. At both of these fronts the Rus sian resistance is showing the stub bornness of a stone wall. The Ger mans have hurled thousands against thelr lines.
 The fighting in progress yeSter- day and today between Viprz and Bug rivers is continuing with all the strength of the two armies be- ing exerted.
 The less of life everywhere is un- paralleled.

SHAKING OFF THE WINNERS

December exports over imports we're $132 100000, or the largest ever
known. The January figures, yet to come out, will be ever larger. Par
tal returns for the first week in February indicate a balance of exports
yer imports of S44,500O0O This is at the rate of $1S0OO0O per full
month and above $2G0OO000 a year, and President Farrell of the
United States Steel corporation has said that the practical assurance of
a balance of at least S1OO0NOOO for 1915 ought to mean al unprece-
denied industrial boom.
This is not only what it ought to mean. II tt what it must mean IS
an irresistible effect of trade forces The ca1amty-howhers will howl in
vain, and vain in the end will be the efforts OF the standpat obsruchonifs
to stop it. The country is already lin full command of all the foreign X
changes, its outside debt is being paid of at an unprecedented rate, and
even gold exported at the outsent OF the al is beginning to come back.
The winners who whine from habit or for political effect, or o re
gain a hand-hold O the public treasury, will continue to whine. The
country is now in a way to move along without them.

The United States government EXHIBITS at the Panama-Pacihc Inter
national exposition have proved the most popular of all in the main
exhibit palaces, in particular the postofice display in the Palace Of
Mines and the army and navy exhibit in the Palace of Machinery. AT
the recent opening when people went through the great buildings with
out special aims and stopped where the attraction as strongest. the
United States exhibits collected the greatest throngs. Their closest
rivals were the automobile display where the parts OF a popular car
were assembled into a completed machine, and the active flour mill with
its international kitchen adjunct. But the United States exhibits were the
most popular.
Now the fair public has found that the postofice exhibit is more
than a c display, it is a utility of Importance commensurate with the
system OF free sample lunches in the Food Products building. 1t has
been decided that the model postohice shall do lore than show how the
mail is handed-t shall handle mail. Persons "a mail letters o pack
ages to themselves at the IMPOSITION and receive them there. Lunches
can be sent by parcel post from down town and collected at the general
delivery window when the pangs OF hunger assaI. Visitors al write 10
their friends, making appointments or breaking them, as the mood is and
in every way will the model potohice serve the people.
The most interesting, or ar least the most popular, part of the gov
ernments naval display is the submarine mine field, which is demon
srated in model form at the exposition.

For months past this helpless population has been fed principally
by the benevolence of the United States and Great Britain. The British

that until the Germans cas- their ievies in Belgium, thus dverGng

Noting these tragic facts, which furnish their own commentary, Mr..
Hoover says he can do nothing now but appeal to the mercy of the
people in every land" Evidently he does not mean. every land. He
means such lands as are not engaged in the most brutal OF all wars, and
in particular he does not mean the land which, no matter how the con-

ing in Belgium.
