 understanding amongst all the people concerned to let the matter remain quiet as possible. The fact that President Wilson has declined to discuss the matter has tended to relieve the tension.

VALDEZ.-Julius Hale is confined in the federal jail charged with slash ing Knute Nolan early this morning with razor. The fight occurred in the redlight district and appears to have been started by mutual dislike which the men held for each other.
 Both Hale and Nolan are reported to present a pretty badly di!apidated appearance. Nolan was severely slashed, the cut requiring several stitches to keep him intact, Hale was battered about the head with a rock which Nolan says he used to de- fend himself.
 The preliminary hearing is taking place before commissioner Love this afternoon. There were several wit nesses to the aftray. (PrOspector)'

TRY TO STOP
 SALE OF R. R.
CHICAGO HOLDERS OF BONDS OBTAIN TEMPORARY ORDER IN
 CASE OF ALASKA NORTHERN

WASHINGTON, June 1G.-The Chicago holders of three hundred thousand dollars worth of bonds in the Alaska Central railroad have obtained a temporary order, returnable Friday, restraining Secretary of the Treas ury McAdoo and Secretary of the In- terior Lane from paying anything to the Canadian vendors of the Alaska Northern railroad. The plaintiffs charge that the Canadians have not an actual title to the property and that they have been conspiring to de- fraud the plaintiffs and dissipating the funds. It is also charged that the Labaree contract was made secretly and that the defendants agreed to pay August Hecksher two hundred thou sand to promote the sale Of the road' It is further charged that the Canad- ians also agreed to pay Otto Hansen one hundred thousand to withdraw the suit filed at Valdez.
 It is thought here that this will be the last obstacle placed in the way of the transfer of the road to the govern ment. It is one of the dangers which the administration was guarding against by delaying the final trans fer. The matter is not regarded as at all serious.

The British Forces.

In the house OF commons yester-
day Prime Minister Asquith gave
some explanations OF the British cost
OF war and prospective needs, and in
the course OF his statement an
nounced that nearly 100000 men had
enlisted in the army and navy since
the war began: This does not mean,
however. that 100000 men are now
in the field under British colors or
in training camps in England, for a
certain percentage OF this number
will be found in the feet, while, &C
eording TO an official announcement
made day before yesterday. British
war casualties up to August 81 were
in the army alone 38I .o83 officers and
men. OF these nearly $4,000 were
wounded, some OF whom have prob
ably returned to the ranks.
Taking out the naval enlistments
and the net losses, it is probable that
there are at this time under arms in
the field at home or in France and
Turkey about 100000 men. 1t is not
known how many OF this number are
actually in the field, but it is believed
that fully half are in training camps
in England, some of them awaiting
equipment and others being trained
in military duties and hardened to
endure the fatigue of trench service
So close has been the censorship over
the news about the British armies
that it is not known how many con.
signments have been sent abroad, tc
replace those who have fallen or te
swell the Total numbers. Lore

mand of the roads that lead to the
narrows, where the supreme battle
for the control of this. area will oc-
cur. There is evidence that the Turks
are not receiving munitions from Ger
many in the volume needed and ex-
pected. Dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed lately on the score of the
lack of German cooperation, which,
in turn. is largely due to the obstruc-
ton of free traffic interposed by Ru-
mania. There is no other way to get
supplies from Teutomc territory into
Turkey than by crossing some por-
ton of Rumania or Serbia, and in any
Case Bulgaria stands as an obstacle,
which, however, in the present state
of the diplomatic negotiations is not
difficult to overcome. If Rumania
were willing to allow supply ship
ments to pass. Bulgaria doubtless
would be also. 1t has been suggested
that the !Austrians may make a des-
perate endeavor to conquer the COM
paratively narrow strip of Serbia that
lies opposite Rumaria across the
Danube. thus giving aroute into Bull
garia. But this is a mountainous re-
gion with no railroads, and in order
to secure transportation it would be
necessary to continue the conquest
of Serbia southwark to Nish. This
would be an operation of extreme
difficulty Turkey is virtually iso-
lated as a consequence, of these con-
ditions. and is apparently unable to
furnish its own supplies in the VOL
ume required by the desperate fight
ing on the Gallipo1i peninsula. There
is prospect, therefore, that the Turks
may find themselves in relatively the
same position that the Russians were
during the German drive through Po-
land, though with much less space
for retreat without yielding Constan-
tinople and the control of the Darda-
nelles, the objects of the allied at
tack.
