Many Trials to
 get to Alaska

Determined to get into Anchorage with the big rush, a woman garbed in mems khaki was yesterday found in the steefage of the Mariposa, which docked at 7 p. m. Mrs. Rose Johnson of Valdez, is the woman's name and she is we'll known in various parts of Alaska, having considerable interests and claims but none of which are now productive. She found it necessary to get back and not being supplied with the necessary funds she donn- ed mems clothing and successfully eluded discovery, remaining in re- tirement as far as possible. Her identity was discovered by accident yesterday by one of the stewards.
 As soon as the facts leaked out the woman was placed in the care of Mrs. Westen, the stewardess, and was given the care and court esy most needed while Chief Stew. ard Taylor and his staff very thoughtfully and with the true Alaska spirit, started a subscrip- tion with the result that by night Purser Harris was handed a tidy sum for the adventurous woman to help her in getting settled or con- tinuing her journey for Anchorage.

ON THE WESTERN
FRONT OF BATTLE
And British Military Experts
Unable to Explain Germany's
Sudden Offensive.
50 VIOLENT IN POLAND
AS Well as at the Northwestern
End Of the Battle Line in
France Now.

4 LONDON, Feb. 3.-British mill
ttary experts are unable to explain the
sudden and violent offensive move
ltent begun by the Germans to the
west Of Warsaw in Russian Poland
and in the vicinity of LaBassee on the
northwestern end of the battle line
In France. In both these regions
there has been a return to the old
style German battering, the men be-
ing hurled forward in close forma-
ton at great sacrifice. with. the Brit
ish report says. little permanent
gain.
In Russian Poland the Germans
are holding some ground in front Of
Warsaw, which these attacks netted
but the recent German onslaughts on
the western battlefront, military Of
ficials assert, almost Invariably have
resulted in failure to consolidate the
positions gained.
1t is suggested that Field Marshal
won Hindenburg is again hammering
toward the Polish capital with the
idea Of holding there E=iperor Mich
GLASS crack troops which otherwise
might be transferred to the Carpath-
ians where the Russians and Austro-
GermaRs still are fighting in the
mountain passes. Neither side has
peenS able to force the other onto
the plains though the Russians claim
TO be more than holding their own.
La LaBassee long has been a critical
point on the western front and the
British troops congregated in the
neighb9rheod have suffered heavily.

WANTS TO
GET HOLD OF HORN
Who Tried to Blow Up Inter.
national Bridge Across the
st. Groix River.
-, ,..ee,.,sn .atss,

VlANCEBORO, Feb. 3-The do
minion authorities were busy today
building up a case to support their
request for the extradition OF Wer-
.ner van Horn. who yesterday at
attempted the destruction of the in
ternational bridge over the ST. Croix
river. Before noon large party of
secret service officers arrived here
from Montreal. There business was
to establish that Van Horn had de-
liberately caused damage to rail-
road and had so committed an
offense which Is extraditable under
the treaty between the United States
and Canada. At the same time the
question whether Van Horn was a
criminal or a political offender was
made the subject of exchanges be-
tween Ottawa and Washington. Van
Horn still claiming,to be an officer of
the German army and to feel secure
in his position that he he'd properly
committed an act OF war and so could
not be extradited, awaited events
with composure. His only regret so
far as expressed is that he succeeded
in damaging the bridge but slightly.
1t has been stated that he would
appeal to the German embassy at
Washington but SO far as known he
has made no move in this direction.
No charge had been preferred against
him and he is detained only on thu
authority OF the attorney general OF
Maine until an inquiry into the facts
of his case can be made 1t was ex-
planned that he could be held in
definitely unless writ OF habeas cor
pus on his behalf was obtained. Van
Horn has shown no disposition to
seek his liberty. but provision has
been made to forestall such proceed
ure.
