A letter just received from Duke F. Seattle gives the information that the Bender Brothers, the vessel which has been on the Seattle Bethel run, has made her last trip to the kOskokwim, and incloses a newspaper clipping re- sarding the new steam schooner which is being built for that run. It is as follows;
 "Conctruction of three e-mast schooner, costing $5O,000, and especially designated to meet the requirements of the Seattle -Kuskokwim rivr route was definitely decided on recently by Capt. Owar I. Humphrey of Seattle and as sociates l.. F. Geary, naval architect. will draw the plans for the vessel, which will be ready to depart from Seattle May ! on her first voyage 10 the North. Accommodations will be provided for forty first class passengers while the cargo capacity will total GOO tons dead weight. She will make three or four voyages between Seattle and tn Kuskokwim each season.
 The schooner will have length of 140 feet and a beam of 30feet. Her draft will be exceptionally shallow be- cause of the conditions that prevail in the Koskokwim district The river and the delta at it's mouth are very shallow, and it is a foregone conclusion that the vessel will ground occasionally. The shallow draft will offset this pos sibility to a large extent. At the same time the plans call for the construction of vessel of powerful build so that she will run no risks of damage when she touches bottom.
 As indicated, the schooner will en- gage in the passenger and freight ser vice between Seattle and the Kusllok- vim. She will be equipped with engines powerful enough to give her a speed of nine knots, and in addition will have a fairly large sail spread.

IL is the belief of Americans here that the growth of this anti-America1 feeling in Germany at this time is duo largely to the fact that the German press is dependent upon the London newspapers for American news Lon don newspapers naturally lose no op- portunities for calling to the attention of the English public any alleged dis play of friendlness by Americans to- ward the cause of the allies These London reports, reprinted in Berlin. arouse ill feeling among the Germans.
 The semi -offical statement published in the North German Gazette pointed out that while Germany could not pro test that the sale by Americans of arms and ammunition to the allies was q violation of the principle of internat- ilonal law yet the trade in war ma terial with England and France has as sumed such dimensions as to jeopardize the neutrality not only of the American government but, indeed, of the Ameri- can nation"
