COLLEGIATEa IGNORANCE
 OF THE WAR

College boys seem not to be read- CTS of newapapers, outside of the sporting page at least, to judge from the result of tests put to the stu- dents of several institutions, among which were Bowdoin, Williams and New York. University. A teache rof history at the latter college states in the New York Times that he be- lieves the apparent indifference of students toward the present war is indicative of general tendency on the part of the public to neglect g close study of affairs in Europe. Stu dents may regard the task of keep ing abreast of the multifafious news of today too much akin to a major elective. The Times prints the list of questions with notes on the char acters of answers they elicited. The questions asked. by members of the Faculty at both New York Univer- sity and Bowdoin College were as follows: .''
 Where is Gallipoi? .r What is the capital of Bulgaria.
 What countries bound Serbia?
 In what country is Sal0niki?
 On what sea is Montenegro?
 Who Is in command of the French army2 |.
 Who Is the Prime Minister of En- gland.

SENATOR FEARS
 INVASION OF DOMINION.

OTTAWA: James Lougheed, the Government leader in the Senate, in speech in the upper House of Par liament recently said that Germany was known to desire possession of Canada, as a prize of war should she be victorious in the present conflict. Some Canadians, he said, could not yet realize that Canada was in as great jeopardy as Great Britain or any of her allies.
 Senator Lougheed asserted that German spies had compiled and filed in the archives of their government more complete information upon the natural and developing resources of Canada than was possessed ever by the Canau.an government. He ex- pressed the belief that Germans liv- ing in the United States would be glad to aid in the capture of Canada.
 If the Allies lines were broken and an avenue opened to the seas, the speaker prophesied that German troops would be landed upon the shores of Canada and the, Domin- ions southern boundary would be crossed by reservists' living in the United States. To prevent such . contingency, he said, Canadians should exert themselves to the ut most to aid Great Britain. '','

 St. Elias-Pass Up katalla.

The steamer Admiral Farragut, of the Admiral Line, ill command of Capt. Robert Hickman, arrived in Valdez bay this morning shortly after s o'clock after having been nearly 10 days making the trip from Seattle.
 The officers state that heavy wealth CT was experienced during the entire trip, and that the steamship was hove to off Cape St. Elias for near 1y thirty-six hours in terrific gale and snow storm which prevented the navigators from picking up the head lands.
 While the Admiral Farragut was at Yakutat a number of small fishing schooners arrived from the .,halfhnt banks and reported narrow escapes from. being swamped in the noun tainous seas which were sweeping In from the Pacific. The steamer was unable to make Katalla as St. Elias was not sighted on the trip.
 The wireless operator on the Adml- ral Farragut also caught 'the'S. o. S.. call sent out the Alameda by the steamer Pavlof which is in trouble west of Kodiak island.
 The Farragut brought the Valdez passengers left at Cordova by the Al ameda when she began her race to the rescue of the Pavlof. Following were the incoming passengers: Judge Fred M. Brown, Mrs. Brown, MT. and Mrs. l.. l.. Middlecamp. Mrs. Mooney and child, Mrs. Ward Estey, Oak Ol- son, G. A. Vinger, J. Chamberlain, Thos. Mantel, Wm. Aitken. Al Shy man, Gus Gillies, John Barrett, Jas. Fish, Jas. E. Wilson, Geo. Slayer, Fred Delander, John Kacerosky and Dr. E. c. Cross.
 The shipment of mail brought by the Admiral Farragut was one of the largest ever brought to Valdez as 1t included the mail left at Cordova by the Alameda. The steamer Is expect cd to return to Valdez about Monday evening as she will not go west of Seward this trip.
 Capt. Hickman stated that the Ad- miral Evans will be the next steamer of the Admiral Line to come north, and that she would be followed by the Admiral Watson. of which he would be in command.

When the Admiral Farragut arriv- ed in Valdez this morning she brought bunch of live wires and no less than nine commercial men are circulating among the business men of Valdez today seeking orders for their houses.

Cordova is enjoying prosperity as a result of the many men employed by the Copper River & Northwestern railroad on the work of rebuilding the icebreaker at Mile .49. and the big crowd of Alaskaps who are pass- ing through to the interior.

With what they filled them Nettie
was not able to see, but from one

her, and from each she saw the same

around their necks in back and front
Those bags, my dear, are filled
with faults" said the old woman. "The
one in front is filled with the faults
