IL AWAIT LOSES GOOD
II FRIEND BY DEATH

News of the death of Jack London
reached The Advertiser last night in
az Associated Press Clash. at half.
past eight O'Clock, following within a
few minutes wirelessed information
that the young author, who has so
many friends in the Islands, had been
stricken and was seriously i'll at his
Glen Ellen home. 49,
The illness from which Jack London
died at so early an age was induced
from the kardships he endured after
leaving Hawaii in 1907 aboard the
ketch Shark, in which" he and Mrs.
London proposed to make a tour of the
world. In the South Seas London was
t tker in and had to abandon HIS plans,
taking steamer for Australia for med
zeal treatment. Prom that sickness, an
obscure ailnent over which his doctors
did not agree, he never recovered, al.
though it was rarely that any sign Of
physical weakness was apparent ex.
cent to his closest friends. ~
End Came Suddenly
letter received on Tuesday by the
editor OF The Advertiser from Mrs.
London, who carried on practically all
the correspondence of a private nature
of her husband, written on the twelfth,
contained no mention of any illness Of
Mr.. London 3. On the contrary it
stated that Mr.. London, who was in
the midst of a lawsuit, in which he had
been on the witness stand for four days,
would soon leave for New York, to
consult his publishers about his forth
coming Hawaiian works, one Of which
is to be "My Hawaiian Aloha, - the

VIZ AsHINGToN, November %
; " The great Pearl Harbor drydock
w will be completed and ready for
use by June, 1918, according to the es-
innate of Admiral Harris, head of the
navy bureau of yards and docks, as
stated by him hero yesterday to the
house naval committee.
The admiral in his statement de.
clared that there is no possibility cf
second disaster such as that which oc-
CURED in 1918, when the bottom of the
|drydOck, under the enormous pressure
Of the surrounding terrain, blew up,
wrecking the work of years and com
polling the virtual reconstruction of
the bed of the greatest drydock in the
world. o..
Admiral Harris added that the de-
partment is planning a great feet base
at San Francisco, TO cost approximately
$20,O00,000. The navy yard at Mare
Island is to be retained for use in CON
structioh and repair work. Two de-
stroyers have been awarded to the
Mare Island yard for construction.
II was originally estimated, when
the work of constructing the dryG ock
was first projected, that it would be
completed some time in 1917. But
the blowing up of the bed of the dock
caused such great delay that 1t then
seemed probable it would be much
later than the date originally set be-
fore one Of Uncle Sam g dreadnOughts
would be able TO enter the d 0ck. That
the work can be finished as early as
June Of 1918 is a matter Of much con.
graduation on the part of the navy de-
pGrtmcnt.

There, is a difference in the re-

In the territory north of Mon

the retreating army of Teutons to
bay on a line about thirteen miles
north OF the city. Here the Bull

ately IN an effort to hold back the
advancing forces of the Serbs and
French, aided by the Italians and
Russians.
The British however, are launch
ing powerful and successful at

east The Serbians also are re-

additional towns in the neighbor-
hood of Lake Presba, and to have
captured the little cities of Para
