One Company Wiped Out.
The Nineteenth German infantry
had already suffered similar losses in
attacking the village of Maux on
March 9. Its Thirteenth company
was surprised and annihilated. In
entering the village houses. its First
battalion was reduced so per GEM.
Three regiments of the Eleventh
Bavarian division which made the at
tack on Malancourt and Avocourt
Woods on March 20 and %. were each
reduced by one-half. Their losses
varied between so and so per cent.
The same is true of the losses OF the
Fourth regiment of the Second divis-
ion OF IAndwehr engaged under sirr-
lar conditions.
The foregoing are only losses dur
ing actual attack and do not include
the losses OF regiments in the trenches
or IN reserve under the fire of our
cannon. They are solely the current
actual losses. We know that certain
German units have had very high
current losses, that is 10 say. losses
from artillery fire. when no action
of the infantry was in progress. We
cite. for instance. the Thirty-seventh
regiment OF infantry which was sur
prised by our fire while on the march

INFORMATION FOR THE
 GAME LAW BREAKER

The game warden. Mr. Nickert, said yesterday that many were un der the false belief that the warden had no authority to search boat, or house Or 8 cabin, for evidence Of s breach of the game law with out warrant. That those who may be ignorant of law in that respect may know, the following is an ex- cerpt Of the section in reference to ths warden's authority.
 Section s in part reads: {
 Any marshal, deputy marshal or warden. in or out Of Alaska may arrest with Or without warran; any person found violating any of the provisions Of this act or any of the regulations herein provided and may seize any game, birds. or hides. and any traps, nets, guns or other parphernalia used in the capture of such game or birds found in his possession in or out of Alaska"
 rom that the warden's author ity to search or arrest game-faw breakers without a warrant, is clear r defined and cannot be mistaken

"DRYS" GET
 FIRST INNING
DUE TO A SLIDE THE WATER SYSTEM Is SHUT OFF FOR
 NECESSARY REPAIRS

At the present rate within the next 24 hours the "water wagon will be a familiar sight on the streets of Ketchikaa.
 About ten o'clock last night a small land slide started beneath the big pipeline, carrying away two bents of supporting timbers, and sweeping down the hill tore out a. bout 150 feet of the low pressure Hume between the intake and the old blacksmith shop. The lower line was entirely put of commission, and the unsupported section of the main sagged down and opened up some big leaks which made it im- possible to keep up the pressure at he Power House. To repair the line t was necessary to shut off the water entirely at the lake, which was done this morning after con meeting the city electric lighting system onto the electric power plant Of the New England Fish Go.
 The Citizens Light Power & Water Co.,, have a big crew of men at work repairing the break since midnight and are rushing temper ary repairs in hopes of being able to turn the water into the main a. gain before morning.
 The velocity of the slide was SC great that it tore out stumps, boulders and everything to bedrock on the hillside and piled them fl Ketchikan Creek and in the timber beyond.

In the explosion that occurred. the three occupants of the cabin were severely burned on their hands and faces. Hansen escaping with the least damge.

The Fiction Of Decreased Imports.


The Democratic members OF tho
ways and means committee are going
to report substitutes for certain parts
Of the war tax within week or so.
They find that the stamp tax has be
come q political irritant. so they are
going to get rid OF IT. But they are
going to substitute other taxes, such
as an increased income tax and Il tax
on munitions. They find 1t necessary
to make up deficits by continuance
Of special taxes and the change in the
form is only due to the necessities OF
politics The people are asking too
many questions. The first explanG-
ton offered for continuance of u
war tax is the decreased imports due
TO the war.
This fiction has been kept up now
for two years, and the country is still
heing Rravely assured that the Demo-
cratic party would not impose war
taxes If imports were normal. This
lie a deliberate perversion Of the
truth, and only asserted in the hope
that the ordinary citizen will not in
Vestigate Let us look at some OF the
figures In March Of this year we had
imports of 100000, which Is
S3l. 100000 more than the imports
OF March. 1914, before the war and
three or four months after the Under
wood tariff act had gone into effect,
The figures for March of this year
are nearly $4,000, 900 more than in
March, 1918. when President Wilson
was inaugurated They are $4,000 =
600 more than in March, 1911, fully
S1.000,000 more than in March,
1909, and $125.0OO,OOO more than
in March, 1908.
What is the answer to these fig
ures? The answer is that the Under
wood tariff is bringing in. even to-
day, such a flood of duty-free imports
that all records are being broken,
while sufficient revenue cannot be OBJ
tanned through customs duties to pay
the government bills. The mainte-
nance of war tanxes is for the purpose
of making up the deficit caused by
Democratic tariff bill. and not be-
cause OF a decrease in imports, or any
effect OF the war.
