P. N. FLEET Will
PROBABLY USE
BIG DITCH

That the Panama fleet CT the Pacific
Mail will probably operate through the
Panama Canal, at least as far. as &C.
lon. is the latest talk in San Francisco
shipping circles, according to newspa-
pers from the Bay City. "..-... r.
This confirms the opinion OF F. w.
Kiebahn, secretary of H, Hackfeld &
Company, who on his return from San
francisco earlier this month made the
same prediction. stating that he did
not think the steamers would be
placed in transpacifie service.
There is a possibility" say the San
Francisco Chronicle of December 81,
shat the fleet taken over by the
American International Corporation
may go up the Atlantic coast, but the
fact that the vessels will use the canal
in future is definite! ~
Plan of Company. ..:* j.. E@e..s
at was the plan in acquiring the
fleet to assure shippers and travellers
along the west coast that there would
be a regular and uninterrupted ser.
vice. said an official Of the new own
ers December 90. The entire plans
for the service have not been made as
yet, and just what is to be done with
the Peru has not been determined.
"The Peru is one of the largest car
riers in the fleet and was slated to go
to China few weeks ago to take back
the Chinese crews of the Manchuria,
Mongolia and China. With the Dur.
chase of the, China by the China Mail
Steamship Company the crews were
sent back on her, and the Peru has
been lying in the stream at San Fran
cisco ever since.
Repairs Are Necessary.
1t is understood that the Peru will
require the expenditure of several
thousand dollars to put her in shape
for long voyages again. The Aztec,
which has been under charter to W.
R. Grace & Co., is bound for the west
coast Of South America, there to load
nitrate for the east coast.
Under the present plan, r. P.
Schwerin will continue in charge of
the Pacific Mail Panama fleet until
some arrangements have been made
for other supervision. Grace & Co..
are not in position to take active
charge of the fleet. due to pressure o.
other business. Offices OF the COM
pany will be moved from the Flood
building to California street"

MAX URA LATE; WILL
SAIL FOR SOUTH AT
$50 THIS EVENING

Radio adviees received by Theo. H.
Davies & Company, Ltd, last night
from the Canadian-Australasi steam
er Makura stated that the steamer will
arrive from Vancouver at 5 o'clock
this afternoon, sailing at $3.50 tonight
for Suva, Auckland and Sydney.
1t is believed that the Kona gales
have retarded the steamer, which was
due to arrive here this morning, and
to sail this afternoon. The Makura
has room for only 10 tons of freight
out. She will take 26 passengers
from here and mail for her ports of
call.
The liner will dock at Pier z. The
time of arrival is believed by the local
agents to mean the hour she will be
off port this afternoon and not the
time of docking.

The ships cook said he signed on

now looks as though it would be a

Mr.. Davis said Mel Nielsen, repre-

Der cargo, had tried to get her orig
iDal crew to sign up to, take the
schooner over to Australia, but that
they had unanimously refused to sign
on the vessel again. Nielsen bought
the vessel In when she was sold at

brought by the crew. The schooner is
now lying at Pier II, waiting for

The Weatherwax put in. here in dis

Demand For Space at Fair IL Umpire
Cedented,

Never before this year has there
been 80 great a demand so early and
exhibition spaces at the Great Hag-
erstown Interstate Fair and EXPOSE
ton practically every mail brings ap-
plications from merchants, tradesmen
and others asking for space to be re
served for them. Ali of the exhibitors
Of heavy machinery, such as thresh-
Ing machines, tractors, saw mills,
crushers, etc, have applied for space.
The importance Of the Ha6erstown
Fair In the exposition world has i'd
vanoed notably and the necessity and
early selection of a sight has been
impressed upon those who have been
disappointed by applying too late
With many industries enjoying a re-
vival or new trade, business "a gen
eral has improved. This condition
Is reflected IN the eagerness Of ex-
hibitors TO have a place where they
can conveniently meet the great
throngs that are certain to attend
the coming exposition. One firm
alone, IT has been reported to the
Fair Officials, has sent out more than
500 personal letters notifying their
customers to meet them on the
grounds. With clear weather an IN
precedented crowd Will be in attend
ance and this great exhibition which
educates and entertains all will, on
the 18th, 18th, 14th and 18th or Oc-
tober, be the greatest success ever
achieved by the management

$4,000 GERMANS CAPTURED.
French and British Armies Cut Slices
Out OF German Lines.

The British and French armies
have taken several large slices out oi
the German lines between Verdun
and the Belgian coast, capturing, in
the process, trenches along the front
of about 20 miles, 10000 unwounded
prisoners, eight guns and a number
OF machine guns.
The French forces are forging
ahead to the north of Arras. They
have stormed and captured Souchez
important ground.
AT the same time British warships
and French and Belgian batteries
tons on the coast between Zeebrugge
and Newport.
The offensive which resulted in the
French and British victories began
Saturday morning. For several
weeks there has been an almost in
cessant bombardment with big guns,
which late last week increased in in
tensity, particularly in the sectors
where the infantry attacks took
place.
The French, who have the most
important gain to their credit, made
their CHIEF onset against the German
lines around Perthes, Beausejour and
Suippes. i'm Champagne. where i'm De-
cember they made a considerable
gain or ground. Saturdays attack
however, backed by a tremendous
artillery fire, gave them possession
on more territory than they had re-
taken from the Germans since the
latter dug themselves in after the
battle or the Marine.
According to the French account.
the Germans were driven out "
their trenches five miles i'm width
and about $500 yards in depth. The
French in this engagement captured
1900 prisoners Apparently the ad-
vantage is being pressed still further,
as the French communication makes
only the briefest mention of the
operation.
The Importance In this gain lies In
the fact that every yard OF ground
taken in this region weakens the
German position around Verdun, from
which the Germans might be com
PEELED to retire should the French
succeed In making any further ad-
vance
