You occasionally see it stated that
colds do not result from cold weather.
That is rank foollshness. Were It true
colds would be as prevalent in midsum-

causes colds flourishes in damp, cold
weather. To get rid of a cold take Cham

and is highly recommended by people
who have used 1t for many years as oc-

GERMAN ATTACKS
 AT VERDUN ARE | REFUSED

PARIS, May l. - The official com munique issued by the war office this morning reported much severe fight ing along the Verdun front last night. On Sunday the French troops attacked the German positions, gaining some gS'und north of Dead Mans Hill and a Section of a trench in the village of Cumieres. Last night the attacks of the Germans were efforts to re cover the lost positions. The Teutons in dense masses charged the positions taken on Dead Mans Hill again and again. but were thrown back each time with fearful losses. The French had consolidated the captured trenches and hurried forward strong reinforce ,ppnts to aid in retaining their DO sftions. The German lines were deci- mated, and great heaps of Teuton soldiers were strewn in front of the French trenches. While the fighting &at Le Mort Homme was at it's height Two simultaneous attacks were launch ed by the Germans along the posi- tions taken by the French in Cumie- res. Here also the Germans met with defeat, the French sturdily refusing to give ground. and retaining the cap tured trench despite the tremendous onslaught of the German waves.

JAPANESE FORM CLUB.

The Japanese throughout Alaska have been busy the past few days in the formation of a social organization throughout the territory. The object of the club, as near as the Times rep resentative could learn from one very enthusiastic member, is to promote sociability and good fellowship among Japanese in the different parts of Alaska They held an election the latter part of last week, but it is hard to tell who was elected and who was not. We will know results later on the above point. However. the organiza- tion will be divided into divisions - southeastern, southwestern. Nome dis trict and interior Alaska. Each dis trict win have it's club, and rooms will be provided where the Japanese may go and indulge in pastimes of many kinds. They will put in pool and card tables, and all the different games and amusements. Frank Yo- shida and K. Sato are contending for first place in the election now being held in this district.

STEAMER PATRIA AGAIN VICTIM
 SUBMARINE

NEW YORK, May 1. - The French passenger liner Patria arrived here today and her master reported that she was attacked without warning by a German submarine, but fortunately the projectile missed it's mark. Ac- cording to the story the attack took place off the coast of the island of Sardinia while the Patrias engines were running at full speed. The sub marine was not. seen by the lookout on the ship. but the wake of the tor pedo was clearly seen by several, the missile going ten feet astern of the vessel This is the second time that the Patria has been attacked without warning, and been lucky enough to escape being hit. The master said his ship received no summons to stop. Many American passengers were on board the vessel, and the full facts have been transmitted to the state department. The matter. ii true. makes the submarine question the more acate as news from Berlin has been tending to show that the Ger mans would assent to the American propositions. and a new attack while the matter was pending might result in an abrupt severance of diplomatic relations. It is possible, however, that Germany would take the stand that the attack, if any. was made by an Austrian submarine. The Patria was unarmed.

LABOR STRIKE AT
 ANCHORAGE SETTLED

ANCHORAGE, May 1. - The Fed eral Labor Union in this town called off the strike on the government rail- road Saturday, accepting a new sche- dule offered the workers by the arbi- tration board. The ordinary laborers will get forty-five cents an hour be- fng an increase of three cents from the first wage offered to the men by the arbitrators, which was refused. The longshoremen will receive fifty six cents an hour under the new sche- dule. The workers outside will pro bably look upon such wages as so at tractive that the people here antici- pate a big rush of men from the States. While the Seward division employees were disposed to accept the first award of the arbitration board, they will, nevertheless, receive the same wages as the Anchorage em- ployees The men here are very much pleased over the result, and the mer- chants of the town are rejoicing, as they look forward to an industrious summer of railroad construction, with everybody busy and prosperous.
