 Desperate Adventure

 ble was obliged to land 30 miles within the enemy's lines.
 After destroying the dirigible, Capt Ercole wandered for two days suffer ing from cold and hunger and manag- ed to elude the Austrians and cross the mountains, finally reaching the Italian camp on the river Vayusa.

Admiral Says Allies
 Will Win War In Year

With the vast number of men un- der arms and the great quantities of ammunition and equipment now at hand the Allies will be able to bring the European war to a close within another year, is the opinion of Rear Admiral Saneyuki Akiyama of the Imperial Japanese Navy, who departed from Seattle this morning for Japan on his return from all the Allied bat tie fronts in the Old World.
 "At the outset of the war Germany was the last word in preparedness" " said the admiral. and made great strides into the enemy's country at comparatively small sacrifices. Today, however, it is the Allies who are pre- pared with men and munitions suf- ficient, I believe, to bring the conflict to a successful close in about another year. Great Britain, France, Bel gium and Italy on the west front are in excellent shape, while Russia has great army corps in training for the final drive"

THE SAW MILL IDLE.

After very successful season from an early spring, the Ketchikan Power company closed it's sawmill last Sat urday evening for the next four months Besides the shipping of a large amount of lumber during the season, the mill yard is as full as it possibly can be with the manufactur- ed lumber. A few men will be busy the next week or ten days straighten- ing the yard and cleaning up about the mill proper. What the residents of Ketchikan will miss the most, is the mill whistle. From this day on till next spring when the mill starts again, everybody will have time of their own. Even the curfew will be heard -possibly-at any old time.

condition" of crime exists, and Ths Times urges that the law be made more liberal
 Now, if a law such as that in the State of Washington, permitting the use of practically five gallons of al coholic beverages a month for every adult is not liberal enough to destroy the incentive to commit crime to such an extent that it has become a public scandal and is over-taXing the full strength of the City, County and State machinery, what could we expect in Alaska under total prohibition and practically no governmental machin- cry at all for it's enforcement?
 There is one more important feature with the situation in Alaska that does not apply to Seattle: The municipal authorities of Alaska have no power to levy taxes or otherwise provide for the revenues that would be lost with the introduction of prohibition in the Territory.
 Does it require any argument to make the situation plain to the practi- cal men and women of Alaska? Does t require any imagination to see the carnival of lawlessness that would fol low the adoption of prohibition law here at this time? Does it need more than a bare statement of the facts to demonstrate that Alaska should pro ceed with her regulated liquor traffic until such time as she has settled the fundamental governmental problems that confront her people?

Throwing Grenades
 Now Popular Sport

PARIS, Oct. 3O.-One of the most popular forms of sport now is the throwing of hand grenades. Special cheyrons or designs have been de signed to be worn on the arm of the best grenade thrower in each com pany. The sporting clubs, besides the army, have taken up grenade throw ing and grenade matches now take the place of throwing the hammer, the discus, etc.
 Some of the soldiers, it is said, have thrown a grenade 253 feet, but this is challenged by the sporting experts on the ground that the throw was not made before a regular organization and was a free arm throw According to the regulations, a grenade cannot be thrown straight from the shoulder. like a baseball, but is given a swing
 ing overland throw, much like a cricket ball is bowled.
