that it cannot be done. They explain
that immense ice gorges pile up clear
across the Inlet in any ordinary win
ter, and move back and forth with the
tide, sometimes for distance of so
miles. The Inlet as a whole does not
freeze over, hence it is not question
for an ice breaker, but the ice and
snow freeze in masses 10 to Is feet
thick, and move back and forth from
to II miles per hour. owing to the
stage of the tide.
"My observations were that boats
are required to wait for the tide to go
in any direction from Anchorage. In
fact, the book says that sea-going ves-
sells should not attempt to go in over
the bar between Fire Island and Nc
Kenzie Point, at less than half tide.
To go to Knik Arm from Anchorage
one must wait until the tide is flood
ing, and to get out Of the Arm must
wait until it GIBBS. The same applies
to .Turnagain Arm. Leaving Anchor
age from Turnagain Arm, one must go
out on the ebb tide, and lie back Of
Fire Island until the tide turns, and
go up the Arm with the flood. and
reverse the thing to get back.

UMPIRE JUDGED VIEW OF THE
SITUATION AT ANCHORAGE

by 1000 had been sent to President
Wilson on June 9th, protesting
against the disposition of the lots to
the highest bidder. without restriction
as to number or building clauses.
1.-THE conclusion I arrived at after
a weeks examination of the town stu
alton, was that during the construc-
ton period of the railway. Anchorage
will do fairly good business in a
small way; that after the road is
completed, Anchorage will be the
ocean terminus for governmental
operations, seven or eight months of
each year, and that the balance of the
year there will be but little business.
I arrived at this conclusion because
from the best information I could OBJ
tain, it will not be possible to main.
tain an all the year around ocean SER
vice. obtained the information from
men that have spent Id to 70 years IN
Cooks Inlet, and whose interests are
there.
"The amount of tonnage to be
shipped from the port must neces-
sarily depend on future development,
for at the present time there is abso-
lutely none in sight save a possible
$4,000 tons of coal annually for naval
use on the Pacific, and this amount is
gradually being reduced each year by
the replacement Of coal by oil as a
fuel. To my mind this condition will
create a serious problem for the oper-
ating engineer Of the government rail-
way, and that problem will be how to
make the railway pay even operating
expenses when 1t 10 completed.

de Wet was captured after he had
been in the field for more than a
month. Native troops in the African
provinces belonging to Germany,
Great Britain and France were lined
up on the borders of the respective
provinces. Fighting was general. Dur
ing the latter part Of October the
British dreadnought Audacious was
sunk off the Irish coast, the Russians
successfully attacked Lodz and
Radon, driving out the invading Ger
mans. Turkey joined the war at that
juncture by naval operations in the
Black Sea. Odessa was attacked.
November opened with a German
naval victory over British squadron
off the coast of Chile and the Turkish
warships bombarded Sebastopol. Two
days later German warships ventured
from their anchorage behind the naval
base at Heligoland and bombarded the
British coast in the vicinity of Var
mouth. On November 5, Great Britain
and France declared war on Turkey
and the forts guarding the entrance
to the Dardanelles were bombarded
by fleet of allied English and French
warships. On the north the Russians
reoccupied Jaroslav after several days
of ferocious fighting.
German cruisers which had been
stationed in foreign waters at the
opening of the war had by that time
given a good account of themselves.

Ocean and adjacent waters overlook

poor student, which ultimately re-
i suited in ten nations going to war.
These nations are, on one hand, Great
Britain, France, Russia, Serbia, Japan,
Belgium, Italy and Montenegro, and,
on the other, Germany, Austria and
Turkey. The war to date. according
to conservative estimates compiled
from the best available reports, has
caused loss to the various belliger-
ents of more than six million men,
dead, wounded and prisoners, and
more than five hundred ships. OF
these about 120 were war vessels.
The outstanding results on land are
these:
The greater portion of Belgium is
under the control of Germany.
Germany has been driven from the
Far East.
A part of the Dardanelles is in the
possession of the Allied troops.
Portions of France and Russia are
in the possession of German troops.
A strip of Alsace has been taken
from Germany.
On the continent of Africa parts Of
territorial possessions have been lost
by both Sides.
Various island possessions of Ger
many have been taken by the forces
of the Allies.
Italian troops are in possession of
a strip of Austrian territory.
The outstanding results at sea are
these:
German and Austrian mercantile
: shipping has been driven from all the
open seas.
German and Austrian war vessels
having total displacement of approx.
imately $4,000 tons have been
destroyed.
War vessels of the Allied nations
having total displacement of approx.
mately $4,000 tons have been sent to
the bottom.
The greater portions Of the German
and Allied fleets in the North Sea re-
main intact.
Except for communication through
Holland and the Scandinavian nations,
Germany is cut OF from the rest of the
world.
Efforts on the part of the Germans
to place the British Isles in similar
Ipredicament has resulted in the sink.
ing by submarines of hundreds Of YES

neutral nations.
The sinking in this manner of the
Cunard liner Lusitania with the loss
of more than 100 American lives pre-
cipitated a request upon the part OF
United States that such practices in.

The news Of that event was followed
in a few hours by the announcement
that general mobilization had been

When nature gives man hOmely
face and his parents give him home
ly name he is usually considered handi,
capped for life, but man of the type
of Bill Bone never accepts handicap.
At an early age he began to assert
his ability, frequently running away
from the corn fields where his father
expected him to plow, to go to the
humble garnet of the farm house to
write rhymes for the papers. Since
these early days Bill has become q
real poet and the demand of his neigh
bors and friends that he read his
home-spun poetry to them over the
back fence gradually has grown until
last year $50 towns demanded that he
read to them on their popular lecture
courses. Mr.. Bone was born not very
far from where Abraham Lincoln
spent his boyhood and he has many
things in common with the great Lib
orator, a sympathetic heart, optimistic
spirit, winsome manner and homely
philosophy with a strong sense OF
humor. Bill Bone will make you
laugh. He will bring tears to your
eyes. He will make you think. He
will send you away with greater faith
In humanity, in God and In the future
Of civilization.
