MAKES PRISONER PACK
 HIM INTO THE CAMP.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-The story of how a wounded Ghurka obtained a comfortable ride to camp without los in the prisoner he had captured is re- lated by an officer just returned from the front.
 "One night, said the officer who commands a company in a Ghurka regiment, "when our men rushed a German trench, one of the Ghurkas captured a German. There is a re- ward for bringing in prisoners alive, so the Ghurka started back to our trenches with his prisoner.
 "He was hit in the leg while cross ing the field so he forced the German to take him on his back to our lines. He came riding in on his captive, se- cured his reward, and then let himself be removed on stertcher to the hospital"

BRITISH AIRSHIPS
 DESTROY 400 AUTOS

AMSTERDAM Jan. 25.-British airships raided Essen last week and destroyed four hundred German war automobiles according to the most reliable information just received here. The airmen, it is said, started from the British coast and sailed direct for Germany. Coming over Es- sen they succeed in dropping bombs with terrible effect. The airmen all managed to make their escape aI- though German aeroplanes were sent aloft in the effort to bring them down. The fact that the raid has not been reported from London is said to be accounted for by the fact that the British aviators did not sail direct to England as the continuous journey was too great.
 The loss of the automobiles is severe one to the Germans as they have been brought very much into use recently in the work of transporting troops from one part of the battle ground to the other.

KANSAS LABOR
 BILL CUT OUT
SUPREME COURT DECLARES UNION MAN CAN BE
 COERCED.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The Kansas coercion" law was declared unconstitutional today by the United States supreme court.

Justice Pitney wrote the deceision and Justices Holmes, Hughes and Day dissented. The de- cisiOn says that just as union man has a constitutional right to decline preferred employment unless em- plOyers agree not to employ non union men SO employers have a constitution al right to insist that employees re frain from utilization from unions dur ing the term of their employment

 PROHIBITION
ALL LIQUOR IN THE ISLAND TO BE SENT FAR, FAR
 AWAY.

COPENHAGEN, Jan. 25.-The par lament of Iceland has enacted a pro- hibition law which forever ends the drinking of alcoholic liquor within it's borders. The law demands that all the liquor in the island be exported at once so that no chance will remain for securing it. The people generally seem to be in favor of the measure and it is probably the first country in history which has made prohibit tion a general law for the whole na- tion.

JONES ATTACKS U. s.
 OFFICIALS UP HERE.

In the full report of Deputy Com missioner Jones of the fisheries, which has just arrived, it is seen that Mir. Jones also takes shot at the U. S. commissioners and deputy marshals of Alaska. He says in connection with fisheries prosecutions;
 "In the past not only have our of- fcials received small support from the majority of the United States commissioners and some of the deputy marshals in Alaska, but they have actually been opposed by some of them in carrying out their duties"
 In one case, Jones says, two such officials and deputy clerk of the court were interested in a cannery and knocked the efforts to administer justice. Mir. Jones also says that he was shocked by the fact that in some places the natives use obscene and in decent language, but the worst part of it was, he says, that in this they only followed the example of the men sent by the government to lead them. In addition to all this he says that the natives use all sorts of intoxicants amongst which he ncludes-what do you think-sourdough!

MAY
 BE CONTINUOUS
DEMOCRATS EXPECT TO PASS SHIP PURCHASE BILL
 ANYHOW.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-That night sessions and even a continuous sitting of the senate may be found necessary for the passing of the ship purchase bill is now believed by the supporters of the measure. Party lines have been drawn sharply on the subject of the bill as result of the democratic caucus. The democrats be- lieve the bill will be passed in spite of the filibustering of the republicans and they are determined to go to any length necessary to force the mea- sure through. It is thought, however, that the support of the progressives may be found necessary but this sup port is believed to have been insured.

GERMANS MAKE
 WARM PROTEST
OBJECT TO HAVING HYDRO AEROPLANES SENT FROM
 U. $. TO ALLIES.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Germany has protested to the state department against the shipment of hydro aeroplanes from this country to the allied nations. The contention of the German government is that hyro- aeroplanes are war vessels and that shipment to a belligerent nation is a fragrant violation of the spirit of in- ternational law. The state depart ment has taken the matter up and will carefully look into the question. One fact is now apparent and that is that the United States is more and more affected by the war. Difficulties arise almost every day with one bel ligerent power or another and it IS hard to see how trouble can be avoid ed if the war lasts very long. The diff fculty is made far greater by the division of opinion in this country. German-Americans are constantly at tacking the administration while on the other hand British papers are re- buking the President and state de- partment for their lack of sympathy with the allied cause. From this time forward some very delicate matters are sure to come up thick and fast for adjustment.

GREAT GERMAN SHIP
 IS SUNK IN BATTLE

LONDON. Jan. 25.-The German armored cruiser Bluecher was sunk and two German battle cruisers were seriously damaged yestrday in a run ming fight with a British patrolling squadron. More damage would have been inflicted on the enemy but their ships succeeded in escaping into min ed waters where the British ships did not dare to follow. The British cas- ualties were slight and not man aboard British vessel was killed. The Bluecher was a ship of sixteen thousand tons. After having receiv- ed several shells she capsized and sank. Out of a crew of eight hundred and eighty five men only one hundred and eighty three were saved. The bat tie took place off the north coast of Holland. It is assumed that the Ger mans were starting out to make another raid on the English coast when they were sighted by the British patrol squadron which by a remark able stroke of luck was just engaged in the very work of watching for any renewal of the attempt made some time ago on the Yorkshire coast The names of the British ships engaged in the fight have not yet been published but it is stated that the battle shows clearly the superiority of the British ships over the German fleet. The Bluecher was built in 1905 and had sped of 24 knots. The result of the battle has caused the greatest jubila- tion all over this country where it is taken as vengeance for the German raid of some weeks ago.

AUSTRIA OPENS
 REAL WARFARE
BEGINS CAMPAIGN ALONG WHOLE FRONT TO DRIVE
 OUT RUSSIANS.

PETROGRAD, Jan. 25.-PronOunc- ed activity along the whole Austrian front of three hundred miles marked the beginning of the new campaign maugurated by the Austrian armies to drive the Russians out of Bukowina, Eastern Galicia and northern Hun gary. The Austrians are supported by the German forces that were sent south some time ago and for a time the real struggle will center south of the place where the Russians and Ger mans have been fighting for the pos session of Warsaw for so long. The Austrian armies are said to have been reorganized carefully for this effort and are believed to be in great force as they have recently called out al- most every man in the dual mon archy who is capable of bearing arms. It is probably the aim of the Germans and Austrians chiefly to clear the country bordering on Roumania of the Russians before the Roumanians are ready to enter the war on the side of the allies. However that may be it is expected here that a struggle of ex- traordinary importance and bitterness is about to begin.

He was also the strongest candidate for the presi- dency of the senate against Senator l.. V. Ray.

FIND ENTRANCE
 TO KUSKOKWIM
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY THAT WILL OPEN IMMENSE
 TERRITORY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Secre- tary Redfeld of the department of commerce announced today that a navigable channel from Boring sea to the Kuskokwim river has at last been discovered and that an immense territory is now sure to be opened to exploitation. He says that as a re- suit of the discovery new steamship lines will be established without doubt for the transportation of thou sand of miles of supplies to practic- ally virgin country. He believes the Kuckokwim is rich in mining, fishing and agricultural resources and says it is not unreasonable to suppose that the Kuskokwim will soon compare with the Yukon as a field of conner cial importance. The channel has been discovered and chartered by Cap tain Lukins of the coast survey steamer Yukon. One fact which Mir. Redfeld dwells upon is that many thousand of miles of the KuskOkwim valleys are suitable for reindeer grazing and he belivese there is good reason to expect that from that re- zion a large business may be done with the outside world in reindeer meat.

LONDON, Jan. 17.-"The war has become merely a part of the daily routine of our lives here", writes an English school teached from Dresden, Germany. She has been a resident of Dresden many years, and has had no trouble with the populace.
 "There is no feeling of alarm" she writes, "such as we hear is prevalent in London and Paris. The feeling of optimism is as strong as ever, and no native of Saxony has any fears of an invasion of Dresden by the Russians.
 "We see many soldiers, going and coming. They are very fine and very warlike. The women of Dresden showered them with gifts of cigars, chocolate, and warm articles of cloth ing. The troops are always singing some of the German glees. They have a few new songs which are good. One of them, written by a private soldier, has caught on all Germany. The words are bit grotesque, but fit ex- cellently into the rollicling music. They go thus:
 For every Briton kick,
 For every Russian a shot,
 For every Frenchman a knock,-
 For God, for King, and Fatherland.
 eve had the spy mania here very bad for a time, and everybody sus- pected everybody else; but they have got past that now"

PEOPLE ALONG MAIL
 ROUTE INDIGNANT.
Believe Mail Allowances Too Small and Complaints are Being
 Forwarded.


 The Iditarod Pioneer of January 2 makes a strong protest against the manner in which that camp and others in the interior are being treat ed in the matter of mail. The Pio- neer heads it's protest with the words miserable mail mix-up" and goes on to say that as only 400 pounds of mail is allowed to the trip mail is be- ing accumulated at Seward, Takotna and other places. "For one thing" says the Pioneer "it cannot be under stood why only two consignments of first class mail have been received here." In a letter in the same issue of that paper pr. Green of Takotna makes a strong complaint and says it is aggravating that he cannot get his mail even though the mail team pas ses by his door. The Iditarod post master has written the chief clerk of the railway mail service at Panama and will write to Washington. In the meantime the people of IditarOd raised a private subscription to have their mail brought from Takotna. Seward will surely give them all the aid possible in having them secure a better mail service.

It was always the custom to get a

section pursuing the same course OF
study, who received suggestions.
