The Cordova daily times., 1915-05-21

LONDON, May 21-Arrangements have been completed to have Italy enter into full partnership with the entente powers today. Austria and Ger many must now face the combined forces of Rus sia, France, England, Belgium Servia Montenegro and Italy, not counting Portugal and leaving Japan in the background To offset this the TeutOns have only the doubtful assistance of Turkey. The other Balkan states are all preparing to enter the con fict on the side of the allies. Roumania, with a splendid army will in all likelihood follow the lead of Italy, for the relation between the two powers are the closest. Bulgaria and Greece are also mo- bilizng their forces and within short time practi- caly the whole of Europe, with the exception of Spain will be assisting in subduing the Teutons
 The Balkan nations vitally interested in the fate of the small remaining territory that Fur key has in Europe, and ROumania wants to acquire the Austrian province of Pennsylvania, which is largely settled by her people.
 The armies being gathered by the Balkan nations will very likely be used to assist the allies in their work of forcing the straits of Dardanees Once the straits have been captured and the big the fall of Constantnople with the resultant down fall of the Turk in Europe, will be only question of time. The armies being raised by Greece, Bu garia and Roumania are called the Gallipo armies and they will immediately enter into service on the peninsula.
 Every preparation has been made by Italy tC start the war with her full force and power at com mand. The government has established strict censorship, and it is unknown where the delivery o the first blow will be made. The Italian attack anC

COPPER OUTPUT
 S1,500,000 A MONTH

Effective at once the Cop per River & Northwe stern rail way will run three trains week each way, between Chitina and kennecott, Instead of maintaining the usual summer schedule of one thain week. This has be- come necessary on account of in- creased shipments of copper ore from the Bonanza and Jumbo mine, which the branch line Is unable to handle. Two trains week will be operated between cordova and chitina. With the continued rise In the price of copper the output of these mines Is to be still further increased to 12o cars month, or 6,ooo tons. At the present price of copper this monthly ore shipment will have value of over a million and half dollars.

DISPOSITION ! r LOTS AT NEW
 TERMINAL

Among the passengers on the Ad- miral Watson for the westward, were A. Christensen. chief of the field divi- sion Of the Juneau land office, and J. F. Warner, government surveyor. They are going to Anchorage, to sur vey and arrange for a townsite at the railroad terminal. While in Cordova MT. Christensen was asked as to the plans apportioning the lots and he said:
 We have no regulations or acts to go by in this matter and the methods of the Alaska Engineering Commission and myself will take the matter up and make recommendations to the de. partment. I really do not know what method will be used in disposing of the lots. We may decide to hold them at nominal rental, or we may sell them at nominal sum with certain restrictions making the sale for the benefit of the public and not the specu lators.
 "Then again we may sell them al auction to the highest bidder, but hardly think so as that would be play ing Into the hands of the speculator, who have money to invest.
 People have been rushing into Shil Creek so fast and settling on the res ervation, that they are hampering ths railroad work and something must b. done with them. Mir. Warner will sur vey the townsite and probably the set tiers will be moved so as not to inter fere with the work.
 There will probably be a townsit, at Matanuska Junction where tn, branch to the coal fields leaves tn, main line and we will have to mak the necessary surveys there, and may be at couple of other places up tn line.

ROOSEVELT GETS \ VERDICT IN
 LIBEL SUIT

SYRACUSE May 2l-The jury in the arnes- Roosevelt libel suit came into the courtroom, and the foreman announced that they had agreed up- on a verdict. The verdict as an nounced by the foreman was in favor of the ex-president. After announc- ing the verdict the clerk of the court proceeded to poll the jury, and all an- nounced that the verdict as announced was their verdict except one juror, Edward Burns, a Syracuse motorman. On the court learning that one of the jurors dissented, the verdict as an nounced by the foreman was refused, and the presiding justice sent the ju- TOTS back for further consideration of the case.
 The disagreement of the jury is over the awarding of the costs in the case. Burns, the dissenting juror wants the costs to be split between both Barnes and Roosevelt, and the other eleven are in favor of letting Teddy get off without paying any of the costs. On the question of the main issue, wheth- CT or not Roosevelt libeled Barnes, the jury is unanimous in favor of the Big Chief of the Bull Moosers.

and the desperate charges made by the Germans to force the Russians to retire
 On several days the combined Austrian and German casualties ran into the tens of thousands, certain of the enemy's regiments being reduced to single companies To the total losses of the enemy incurred in the past twelve days should be included forty thousand prisoners who were captured by the Russians. The Russian army staff estimates that
 undoubtedly one-fourth or one third of the whole German strength has been lost.

FIERCE BATTLE NOW RAGING
 NEAR GALL|POU PENINSULA

ATHENS May 21-The fighting between the allied forces and the Turkish troops has concen- trated near the neck of the Galpoh peninsula, and the battle in that vicinity is raging fercely. The battleshps of the British fleet, including the super dreadnaught, Queen Elizabeth, have gone around in- to the Gulf of Saros and assisting the land forces by shelling the Turkish positions. The Turks are supported by the guns of the Turkish cruiser Goben which is firing from the Sea of Marmora. If the British are successful in the battle which is cen, terng around Bulair, the entire Turkish force on the peninsula will be cut off from their base of sup plies, and the problem of conquering the European side of the straits will be simplifed.

The bombardment is on titanic scale, and is greater than anything heretofore attempted in the whole history of the war It seems impossible that the Russians could have resisted such terrific fire so long as they have, but they still hold the city.

Ted dy's attorneys were the first people to grasp his hand when the foreman announced the verdict. and he has been receiving telegraphic felicita- tions all day. Roosevelt declined aD- solutely to comment on the verdict but his radiant countenance reflect ed his extreme pleasure over the out come, and his famous delighted smile was much in evidence.
 Both Roosevelt and h1s counsel said that they were not averse to sharing the costs of the suit, if such an ar rangement oculd be legally made. The verdict in his favor was the big thing and that was what the ex-president desired most of all, the costs of the matter being only an incidental con sideration. Barnes, on learning of the verdict avoided the newspaper men and immediately returned to Albany.

Reed birds are beginning to arrive on

there will be no scarcity of the birds
this season. On the contrary Delaware

Maryland In that State it is said that
sportsmen who have been having sweet
dreams of joyous hours spent toting the

awakening. The reason is that there

del shore, the haven of the Maryland
gunners this season. Consistent rains,
causing a constant flooding of the lands
where reedbirda formerly held full sway.
have buried the young oats that served
as magnet to collect the birds.
While it is reported that the wild oat
crop has been fairly good on the Susque-
hanna and PatuXent, other fine reedbird
grounds, local gunners have not, as a
rule, patronized these fields to any gr5stt Z
extent. However, now that as a hunting
ground the Anne Arundel shore. in such
easy access to the city, has been wiped
out for the present season, it is very
likely that the Susquehanna and Pa
tuXent will prove very popular.
