The deep impression made by the
Washington mission, which was brought
| to a close this week. has been the sub
| ject of special comment on the part of
those who had opportunity to attend the
services or to observe their effect. The
mission has been nationwide, beginning
in some portions of the country during
Advent, and 1t Is believed that the gen.
| eraI success of the services will result
in the announcement of another mission
at an early date.

OFFICERS SEIZE BEER BILLER
 ANCHORAGE

The United States marshals office at Valdez has received advices from Seward, stating that ten cases of beer had been seized by the deputy there. The shipment was made from Seattle by the Seattle Brewing & Mating Company and was consigned to F. H. Bechett, one of the whisky peddlers who was recently convicted at An chorage on the charge of selling liquor without a license.
 It is believed the goods were part of the shipment made to Anchorage late last fall and which failed to reach their destination, and were un- loaded at Seward.
 Action will be taken against the Seattle Brewing X Mating Company, as the shipment of liquor was billed as meats and groceries, rendering them subject to prosecution under Penal Code 240. It is understood that the brewery company has been fol lowing this practice for some time. and that the grand jury at the recent term held in Valdez returned indict- ments against the officers of the company for having made similar shipments to Chitina and other inter for points in the hope of evading the vigilance of the authorities.

Destruction Nome Threatened byICe

The city of Nome was threatened with destruction Tuesday night, when terrific storm drove the ice of Der ing sea inshore and piled it into noun tains against the doors of the build ings of the beach side of front street. In places the ice is piled up for over fifty feet and towers above the build ings so that one standing on Front street itself can look over the tops of the houses at great glacial peaks ris- ing from within a few feet of the boarded thoroughfares. The Sesnon caisson and pier, which have stood all the storms of years. were crushed
 crumbled and destroyed like an egg shell. For a time the people believed that only a few hours more would be necessary to have the whole business part of the city buried under the ice mountain which rose as the storm
 drove it in from the ocean. A bowling

 WARNING FRON SUBMARINE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. The state department has accumulated considerable evidence regarding the sinking of the British steamer Persia. From what has already been learned the President and his advisers feel practically certain that the ship was torpedoed by a submarine. State ments have been received from 21 of ahe survivors of the catastrophe, and they are all unanimous in asserting that no warning was given to the doomed ship. None of those who have so far furnished evidence on the matter has said that they saw the submarine which sunk the boat, in fact the statements all agree that no attacking vessel was seen. Advices have been received from the Austrian foreign office at Vienna, to the effect that the Austrian government has no information regarding the loss of the Persia.

BRIGHTER MAY BE TAKEN OFF
 THIS RUN

It is rumored that the Alaska Steamship Company has been offered liberal terms for a charter of the freighter Seward by a company oper- ating between Puget Sound and the Orient, and that the offer will prob ably be accepted. There is a tremen- dous shortage of freight carriers on the Pacific coast, and vessels which have been idle for years are again being pressed into service.
 Should the Seward be chartered to the Oriental company she will make two trips across the Pacific and the steamship Victoria. which has been on the Nome run for years, win make trip to southwestern Alaska as a freighter. She will leave Seattle on January 15, via the outside route, coming direct to Cordova.
 The Victoria has a large freight carrying capacity, and on her return trip from the westward will load ore at Cordova to relieve the congestion here resulting from the heavy ship ments from the Kennecott mine.

Birch's Initiative.

Stephen Birch, who effected the giant merger of Pacific Coast inter ests under the Kennecott Copper Cor poration. is well known in Alaska and on the Pacific Coast. He was the first mining engineer to become con- vinced of the real merits of the Bon anza and other Alaskan copper mines which have since proved so produc- tive
 Fabulous stories of the amount of rich ore in sight at the Bonanza mine, far up in the mountains at the head of the Copper river. had been told in New York and other financial centers, but nobody believed them. Mining engineers treated these stories with skeptical laughter.
 It couldn't possibly be true. There never had been such thing anywhere in the world. The stories became so persistent that Birch, not having the slightest faith in the story of the mines fabulous richness, but secret ly hoping that about 10 per cent of it was true, decided to go to Alaska.

lIICCIh AAhy!A!n nU00lH MAkIMb AUSTRIANS
 RETIRE

LONDON. Jan. S.-Press dispatches from Petrograd report fresh successes for the Russian troops along the southern end of the eastern battle line. The Slavs are penetrating into Galicia and Bukowina. and are stead fly forcing the Austrians to retire. The advance rivals the march of the Russians last spring, when they al most broke through the Carpathians.
 Important gains are recorded, and a large number of prisoners are being taken. Simultaneously with the Rus sian offensive the Russian prestige in the Balkans is on the increase. and it is certain that Russian diplomats are exerting great influence on Rou- mania and Greece. The situation has 60 changed because of the Russian that the allies now feel that the Austro-Germans have all they can attend to to protect their own borders from the Russians, so that there is no longer any danger of the Teutons assisting the Turks in the projected invasion of Egypt. In fact the mili- tary observers agree that the Egyp- tian project has been entirely aban- doned by the central powers.
