MASK BALL A HUGE SUCCESS

The Eagles Thanksgiving Masque Ball has long ago established itself aud the leading annual event of its character in Ketchikan, and each year finds it a little more brilliant and more largely attended than the preceding one. The one given in the Rink last night was no excep- tion to the rule. It easily eclipsed all former affairs of the kind in beauty and variety of costumes, attendance, music and fun. The prize winners were as follows:
 First Ladies prize, Mrs. Jas. E. Smith, as Miss Columbia; Bryant De Bar, first gentlemen's prize, as a Prince; Mrs. E. Slotten ladies' prize for most original costume; Bert Berthelsen the same for gent lemen; Lawrence Erickson and Henry Wall, as Maude, the mule, took the prize for the most comical character, with Carl Collen and Jack Hendricks, as the Emanon Orches- tra, close second. Worthy of special notice were Steve Selig and Thos Davies as deep sea divers and Mrs. Slater as the Progressive Min CT, and many others too numerous to mention.

SCHOOL PLAY WAS
 ABOVE AVERAGE
CHOICEST OF ENTERTAINMENT IN EACH ACT OF THE
 PROGRAM

Wednesday evening before the larg- cst audience ever assembled in Rec Mems Hall, the Entertainment Shop" was presented by some of Kct. shikan's bright children, and provcf he most successful entertainment ever given in this city. The self command of the performers and the
 eally artistic rendering of the mum. sers was a charming surprise and reflects great credit upon both the children and their teachers.
 After several beautiful slectiona by the Emanon Orchestra, Miss Martha Foosness took her place at the piano and sustained the musical features with rare understanding md ability throughout the program which commenced at S:30 with the rise of the curtain on the scene of the Entertainment Shop. Everett Paup, as Punchinello, filled the role very well and certainly was "It," though at times he realized that to please the public is no sinecure.
 The first number by eight of Pun chinello's Imps was one of the best things on the program. The pret- tiest thing of the evening was the fairy drill by ten little maids all in white and glistening tinsel, dancing fairy like out of the big black horn, and following with admirable jes- lures the story read by Miss Mary Mitchell behind the scenes. Edgar Anderson, the Magician and George Beck, the colored boy were both ex- ceptionally good in their parts. Nora Ross was,a a bright star in the Enter tainment Shop constellation and her monologue was extremely we'll giv- en. Luella Wakefield and Charlotte Shock in their graceful dancing made a charming victure of colonial times. George Rounsefell as Punch had much to say and said it with a punch.
 The Unit" of the evening was Luella Amundsons Irish Washer woman Pantomime. The audience had enthusiastically applauded every number, but in this instance an encore was necessary to still the tu- mutt of applause. Louise Hanson was splendid as the "old maid" and very beguiling, much to the dis comfiture of Punchinello. Alice Kin caid in the "Sleep Walking Scene was exceedingly fine and was ably assisted by Dorothy Kitchener and Joe Baker. Gretchen Shock and Donald Brindle in, "The Quarrel were just dears.

GERMANY MADE
 PROPOSALS
LETTERS TAKEN FROM GER MANS SHOW WEAKENING
 OF THE TROOPS

PARIS, Nov. 10-Letters written by German soldiers during the bat tie of Champagne, found on prison CTS and dead, throw some light on the spirit of the troops.
 "The battlefront has disappear edin cloud of smoke" wrote one. Nothing can be seen, for the French artillery fires almost as rap idly as the infantry. One armored shelter was crushed in and not one of the sixteen occupants escaped Men are falling like flies and the trenches are nothing but debris"
 "Shells are simply raining upon us," another wrote. "If the end were only near! This is the cry every one should raise: Peace! peace"
 "Cauel hoursw a captain noted in his diary. "It is as if the earth were crumbling up. Our losses are very heavy. One company of 250 men had sixty killed last night and battery close by lost sixteen dead A shelter five yards deep, protected by two rows of logs and two and a half yards of earth, was caved in as if it were only match; that's ST c.men of the force of the French shells"
 Many Men Are Useless
 Many of our men are useless" !" wrote the captain of the Twenty fourth infatry in a report intended for his superior officer "We must have endorsements at once. Our men are dying of fatigue, privation and loss of sleep"
 Nothing to eat; heavy losses," noted another. ''The French have not ceased firing since the morninr of the 21st; it has gone on sixty hours; how long will it last? Ever. spot of our position is so lombard ed that it is next to- impossible for human beings to hold out any long er.n
 -."Six of our men were killed by shells yesterday morning." wrote a captain. "Our trench has been near ly leveled. The Eleventh battalion has suffered heavily"
 How the endorsements were rushed up is revealed by another officer. "We were crowded into autos," he wrote, land rushed. madly from Vouziers to Tahure. After two hours rest in the rain and six hours march to our position under constant shell fire, we reached the trench, losing fifty-six out of 2SO men of the Second company by the way. We were 118 hours without food in trench not two feet deep, Hell couldn't be worse. Six hundred more men just arrived; they will re- place the killed and wounded of the

CARLSON IS
 REFUSED
MAY BE PROSECUTED FOR NOT HAVING MADE THE
 ARREST

Since Edward Krause, the suppos- ed lidnapper of William Christie of Douglas, has been arrested in Seat tie, on information furnished by Brick Carlon, manager of the North ern Hotel lodging department in the city, many have put in claim for the reward offered for the capture of Krause, among whom is MT. Carlson himself. In answer to the demand for the reward, MT. Carl son received the following:
 Juneau, Alaska,
 November 19, 1915. Mir. Brick Carlson,
 Ketchikan, Alaska,
 Dear Sir:
 I am in receipt of your letter of the 16th inst. claiming reward of s5OO.0O for information leading to arrest of Krause and enclosing af- fidavit of yourself and Philip Me Quillan in connection herewith.
 In reply beg to advise that the reward was for the arrest of one
 Miller who took William Christie from Treadwell on pur- ported subpoena for attendance on the District Court at Juneau, and was not for "Information leading to the arrect." You had knowledge of Krause's presence in ketchlkan and had you arrested him and he proved to be Miller (which there is very little doubt he isl you would have been entitled to and would promptly have received the reward of $5OO.00 but you waited until he departed from Ketchikan and then, as you claim, reported the facts although your affidavit shows that you conversed with Krause over the Christie matter and you must have known that he was at least wanted by the authorities of the Federal Government.
 There is a serious question wheth- CT you are not yourself liable to prosecution for not devulging your information promptly on learning same.
 Very respectfully,
 H. A. BISHOP
 U. S. Marshal.
