"EDITH' HAS HAD
 NOTABLE HISTORY

The old steamer Edith which is coming to Alaska for the purpose of salying the Ramona and in search of pleasure for her owners and their friends has notable career At one time she was one of san Francisco's most palatial yachts. Later, in the mid sos she was purchased by Capt. Herbert F. Beecher Q replace the Evangel the gospel snip. on Puget Sound run Capt Beecher, howeveE was appointed collector of customs, and failing of confirmation, special agent of the Treasury Department, during the first Cleveland administra- tlon and closed out. of the steamship business, and the Edith became the Seottlc-Port Townsend mall boat. Lat CT she was used as a freighter on Pu. get sound for many years She is at the present time being used, in part, at least by her owners as pleasure craft again
 With Capt Harry Crosby in con- mand tho Edith is now on a six weeks cruise in Alaskan waters.
 The Seattle Times, speaking of tho ship, and her Alaska trip says:
 "In the last few weeks, the Edith has been renovated, cleaned and painted and otherwise restored. Years ago she was one of San Francisco's most palatial private yachts Capt Crosby will hunt and fish in South western Alaska, waters and will also salvage the machinery and other equipment Of the steamship Ramona, wrecked four years ago off the West coast or Prince of Wales island.

WHAT THOMAS
 VISIT HERE
 MEANS TO TRADE

The purchasing agent for the Allies ln the United States AS the war en- ters upon It's twelfth month the per- sonage of most consequence to arr rive ct New York is D A. Thomas, British capitalist and coal operator
 He Is important-so much SO that when the American liner St. Louis. on which he crossed the Atlantic, de parted from Liverpool she was escort ed down Che English channel by two torpedo boat destroyers. and when he reached New York he was met by sir Cecil Spring-Rice, Britich ambas- sador. and Willard D. Straight Of J. P Morgan & Co.,
 There Is no secret about the mis- sion Of MT Thomas. He says blunt- ly that he has come to cooperate with Mir. Morgan's firm and with the firms in Canada. in "the purchase of munitions of war for England
 While Mr. Thomas seems to rel strict his activities to England, there is no doubt that he is the accredited agent Of all the Allies. The purchas- ing of supplies is being put on bas IS of scientific management
 The scope of such an undertaking is tremendous. The term munitions Of war means practically everything that can be bought in the American market lt ranges from automobiles to cavalry horses and Missouri mules from Southern cotton to wheat and Hour in the Great Northwest and the Pacific slope. from heavy ordnance and powder made in Eastern factories to all the varied products of the west
 A forerunner Of such purchases, ex- pressed In money was published on the financial page the Sunday Times. 1t set forth that the direct outly for supplies to be bought by the Allies in the United States during 1915 would reach a billion and a half dollars--a total large enough to pay off the entire interestbearing debt of the nation and leave a balance of more than five hundred millions. it was shown that Great Britain and Russia would each take S500.000000; France. SiOo.0oO.OOO; and itaiy SiOo.- 100000.
 on the basis of just such figures as the foregoing the American people have been looking forward to pros perity-not that they would seek to coin money from the misfortunes and ihe indescribable torlures Of Europe, but that circumstances over which America has had mo control have ere aied a market for American products and manufactures The factories now are running most of them to the limit of capacity; the greatest crop ever known is being harvested, and the prospect holds forth high prices for all products.
 Mr. Thomas holds the key to the Treasury. He handles Che finance for this tremendous. almos. unlimited field He has a bigger task than any accorded to the master flnanciers of history. gauged by the grand total of the monetary resources at his com mand. and the effect the successful fuIfinment of his mission will have on the reconstruction of the map Of lthe world He must make the pur- chases, and he will exert himself io the utmost to buy to Che best advant- age for the Allies. It is not impossi- ble that the government Of the Unit ed States win be taking the measure of Mir Thomas before he has round- ed out this almost superhuman task ] (-Seattle Times)

BRITISH HAVE

Colonel Repington Of the British ar. my discloses the fact that the Brit ish army of 100000 men has been unable to advance because the War Department has not supplied them with the proper kind Of high explos- i've shells giving them instead shrap- mel. which is practically useless in trench warfare.
 in on attack upon an intrenched po- sition of the enemy there are two separate anc distinct operations The first consists Of tornado of artillery fire from heavy guns, using high ex- plosiye shells These shells leave a crater of from fifteen to forty feet wide and ten to twenty feet deep. They destroy barbed wire tntnngle. ments or dirt embankments or even fixed notifications This devastating volcano of high explosives is immed- lately followed by an infantry ar- tack

 There was no nation at that time in Europe that possessed such large area of territory. and there is none at present except Russia. Poland at that time occupied the foremost rank among the nations of Europe, and for centuries was the bUlwark Of Christiandom against the barbarous Turks from the east and the savage Tartars from the south. It was Che Polish king John soblesh. who deliy- cred Vienna from the Turks and stopped the Mohammedian hordes from overrunning and subjugating Europe.
 As early as the Fourteenth century the Poles were celebrated in an Eu- rope for their learning and literary culture The University Of Cracow. which was founded in 1864, is one of the oldest in Europe It was attend ed by about 15.O00 students yearly from an over Europe
