SALON|k| TO BE ATTACKED BY
 TEUTONS

ATHENS, Jan. IS. - The Turks have removed four hundred guns from the Gallipoli peninsula and have brought them to Xanthi, a town in Turkey, near the Greek border, east of the British lines around saioniki, It is believed that the central powers will soon move in an attack on the allied positions at Saloniki, and that the Turks will send large force of men and guns to assist in the move ment. The Teutons and their Bal- garian allies have assembled 10000 troops at Gievgeli, near the frontier, and the main attack will be directed from this point, being driven along the line of the railroad running to Sa- loniki.

VOLANTE BEING POUNDED TO
 PIECES

PETERSBURG, Alaska, Jan IS. -- The schooner Volante, which was be. ing lowed from Petersburg to Sitka by the power boats Penguin and Gjoa, parted her tow lines in violent wind storm near Cape Ommenmay. The crew of the Volante were on board at the time, but the ship, being helpless and driving shoreward, the crew took to the lifeboats. They had an excit- ing experience. as the small boats were nearly swamped several times before they were picked up by the power boats. When last seen the Vo- lante was fast drifting on the shore rocks, and it is felt that she is a total loss, as she probably pounded to pieces on the rocks. She had six thousand dollars in herring and fish ing equipment on board at the time of the accident, The lost vessel was owned by the Pacific Mild Cure Com pany, of Seattle.

WAS DUE NEUTRAL.
 CAUSES

NEW YORK. Jan Y. - Both civil and naval investigators are searching for the causes of the explosion on the United States submarine E-3, which resulted so fatally last Saturday. Both classes of investigators say that the trouble was entirely due to neutral causes, and that no outside agencies were implicated in the matter. Three of the six enlisted men who were in- jured are still in a critical condition at the hospital, but the four injured civilians are fast recovering, The civilian employees were expert work men. acquainted with the motor and it's power and they state that they noticed no unusual odor before the ex- plosion, although it is intimated that there should have been such an odor if the trouble occurred from neutral causes.

COURT UPHOLDS COMP PENSAT|ON STATE LAW

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. - The supreme court of the United States today handed down decision set. tling several important questions in. volyed in the operation of the work mems compensation law of the state of Washington. The court held that the statute abolished all damage ac tions in the courts by workmen em- ployed in hazardous employments GOV cred by the law, whether these actions were brought against the employers or against third persons. The court was unanimous in it's decision on the disputed points. This decision is con trary to the wishes of the workmen who claimed in certain cases to be still able to bring suits in the courts and recover damages as assessed by a jury, rather than take the stated amount set forth in the Workmens s Compensation Act.

RAILROAD FUNDS FUR ALASKA
 HELD UP

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. - The emergency appropriation of $2,000,00O for the Alaska government railroad, as requested by Secretary McAdoo, is not going to have the fine sledding it's advocates anticipated. In fact strong opposition has developed in both houses against not only the re- gular appropriation of SS,000,00, but the emergency appropriation as well. The fight is being led by Senator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, and for mer Speaker Joseph G. Cannon.
 There are many leading Democrats opposed to government ownership, and they voted against the original Alas kan bill. In order to secure it's pas sage it was necessary to enlist the support of the Republicans, but it is now believed that many of these sen ators and congressman are adverse to voting in favor of any more appro- priations, as it has been charged that the proper showing has not been made for the money already expended by the present railroad commission.

FIRE WIPES OUT
 TOWN MUCH SUFFERING

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. IT, - Fire broke out in the town of Wirt, Okla homa, early this morning and de stroyed the larger section of it. All of the business blocks were destroyed and the greater part of the residence section. Over one thousand persons are homeless, and tents and supplies of blankets are being rushed to Wirt from the surrounding towns so that the sufferers may be made comfort able, and outdoor camps arranged. The situation is distressing, as the police force of the town is utterly in adequate to cope with the abnormal conditions resulting from the fire. The mayor of the town has tele- graphed the governor, asking him to send a company of state militia here to take charge of the situation. It is probable that the governor will com ply with the request. All relief move ments so far started have been unoffi- cial, and the authorities are being criticised for their delay.

S15,000,000L0SS BY FLAMES IN
 NORWAY

CHRISTIANIA, Jan. IS. - The sea- port of Bergen suffered a disastrous fire today, which thoroughly destroyed one-third of the city and resulted in a property loss of fifteen million dol lars. Over two thousand persons are homeless. The greatest losses were endured in the business sections along the waterfront, where whole blocks of buildings and warehouses were wiped out. Bergen is a seaport on the west coast and at one time was the most important city in Norway, and is now the second greatest city in the country. It proved difficult to fight the fire, as most of the houses are built of wood, and the streets are narrow and irregular on account of the peculiar topography of the site of the city.

ANOTHER WILL A LEADER |S
 EXECUTED

FL PASO, Jan. IS. - The Carranza commanders are busily engaged in executing such of the Villa command CTS as are unfortunate enough to be captured. Two were executed previ- ously this week and today Colonel Ba- cavales, who was captured near Pa lomas, was executed at Juarez. Baca- yalles was lined up before a firing squad without being blindfolded which was his own request, and died instantly, as the first volley pierced him through the heart. The dead man formerly held the post of chief execu- tioner for General Villa. and had his headquarters in Juarez. The execu- tion took place near the railroad sta tion and the body was afterwards taken to the custom house and ex- posed to the public alongside of the body of General Rodriguez, the Villa bandit chief who was executed near Madeira in Chihuahua last week. Col. Enrique Cisneros, who was captured at the same place and time as Baca- valles, is being marched overland to Juarez along with eight of his fol lowers, who were also taken prisoner.

LABOR IN FAVOR IF NATIONAL
 DEFENCE

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. - Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, today addressed the meeting of the National Civic Federation in this city. He spoke at length on the relations between capi- tai and labor, and discussed the la bor movement with reference to the interests of the United States. Speak ing of the present administrations program for increased national de- fence, Gompers asserted that his or ganization was behind the President in his efforts for preparedness, but said he would insist upon representa- tiyes of the labor movement being called into council and given seats in all bodies which would decide the national defence problems. He said that the workingmen was the back bone of the nation, quoted the Euro pean war as showing the immense i'm portance of skilled workers to a vic torious war, and asserted that the United States should set an example and protect itself by learning what the workingman's idea of defence was and thereby gaining their support in the movement.

employer, who had been asked by q
clerk for an increase in salary. made
the following calculation as to the
working days OF year:
HYo11 have been with me for several
years,'' said the employer "but have
never worked for me. There are 365
days in the year; one-third Of your
time you spend in sleep. that is 122
days, leaving 243 days; one-third Of
your time you spend in recreation,
which takes off another 122 days. leav-
ing sixty nine days. As Saturday is a
half holiday, that takes of twenty
six days, leaving forty three; then I
give you two weeks vacation, or four
teen days, which cuts it down to
twenty mine. and this number Is
further reduced by thirteen holidays,
leaving sixteen. Since II give you an
hour for, lunch, this would total up
fifteen days in year. So there is
only one remaining day, and that is
Good Friday, and our place OF bust
ness is closed" z sa35 s.
