PREPAREDNESS FOR ALASKA;
 MILITIA ASKED

That Governor Strong Is an adyo- cate of preparedness on a conservative scale .s revealed in his annual report, made public yesterday.
 The Governor calls the attention of the Secretary of the Interior to the provision for Q Territorial militia and points out that the time for the orga- nization of several compan.es of the Territorials is opportune
 His report in this connection reads as follows:
 Section $50. Compiled Laws of AL aska. 1913. Inter aiia provides that the governor of Alaska shall be an-exof- Gc.o commander in chief of the mil itia of Alaska, and shall have power to calT out the same when necessary to the execution Of the laws and to preserve the peace. and to cause all able-bodied citizens of the United States in the Territory to enroll and serve as such when the public exigen- ey demands; and shall perform gener- ally In and over the Territory. as far as the same may be made or become applicable thereto"
 As yet Alaska has no militia or oth- CT military organization. In 1913 the War Department decided that no use ful organization of the militia in AL aska could be perfected under the ex- isting law. which was regarded as ob- solete. and it was therefore recommen- ded that no organization of the militia be attempted in advance of appro- priate legislation by Congress. At the same time the War Department was of the opinion that 1t was both practicable and desirable to maintain a force of militia in Alaska, particu- larly in the vicinity Of Juneau. The matter seems to have rested there for no effort has been made to remove the obstacle referred to. by the depart ment in the way of organizing the Territory and to extend t 10 the pro- visions of the act approved January 21. 1903. to promote the efficiency of the militia. etc" I have therefore to recommend that such legislation be enacted in Congress as will make 1t possible to organize and ma ntain force of militia in Alaska. The time seems to be opportune for such or ganization. And if this is done a force Of militia 1000 or more in number can be enrolled,- whose personnel would comprise men of previous experience in the militia of different states and who arc now seasoned Alaskans

LONDON. Jan. 11.-with the loss of life now nearly 100000 men, divid- ed about equally among the slays and Teutons. the fighting in Gal.cia and Bessarabia has become as fierce as any SO far during the war.
 Reports from Austria say that the struggle is for the possession of Czartorysk and Czornowltz, the objec. tives of the tremendous Russian drive In Gal.cia and Bukowinz. Berlin and Vienna are now thoroughly awake to the enormous proportions of Russia's new offensive and dispatches from the Teutonic capitals today describe the fighting as the most desperate and reckless so far as Russia is con- cerned. of the war.
 Petrograd official communications say the Germans have suffered fear ful losses, and declare the Teutonic forces are now in a state of demoral- lzatIon. It is admitted that the Aus trian troops still dominate the heights of Czernowitz. captured In a bloody struggle last week.

BIoodie6 Fighting of Eastern Campaign Is Waged
 EVACUATION IS
 A KEEN SHOCK

LONDON, Jan. 11.-Announcement that all British troops had been. TO- tired from Gallipoli Peninsula over shadowed all other war news last night. For the British public the ab- rupt war office statement marks an end of one of the great chapters of the wars history.
 The shock of the news was, how ever. broken by the fact that reports had been current in the street for some days, and the withdrawal of the forces had been the matter of wide spread pro and con discussion ever sine Lord Ribbesdale's famous speech In parliament in which he de- clared that the withdrawal had been recommended by @ high military au- thority
 Tho feeling of the man in the street was generally one of relief mixed with regret A popular half.penny paper sums up the British public's attitude as follows:
 Thus ends the enterprise on whlcn the highest hopes were built, and which. if 1t had succeeded, would have turned the tide of the war. Our troops, from the first to the last, were within few miles of victory"
 The policy underlying the Dardanel- les expedition may yet be carried to @ business issue in some other quar- ter of the Near East. but the prospect of forcing way to constantlnople through the famous straits is appar- ently relinquIshed.
