WAR WILL
 RESULT IN A DRAW

SEATTLE, May 2.-That the Euro pean war will result in draw, that Germany will lose her colonies, but that she will hold the French, Bel gian, Russian, Serbian and Montene- grin territory she now occupies, is the belief expressed today by Dr.. Waldo Richardson, who has returned after service extending over seven months in the British army medical corps. He says that this is the opin- ion of all the well-informed army men he met in both military and diplo- matic circles, and his sources of in- formation were chiefly in the army with which he was connected. "The Allies are fighting desperately to hold the war down to draw" said Dr. Richardson. "They recognize they cannot conquer Germany, and believe that Germany will be unable to conquer them. Belgium is conced- ed to be lost country and the little portion now held by the British, French and Belgians is about all that will remain of it when the war is over."

DIESEL ENGINE
 FOR THE CRANKY
NEW TYPE FOR THIS SECTION
Internal Combustion Engine Using Crude Oil for Fuel, Will Be In- stalled at Solomon Basin to Run Machinery for Mine.
Machinery for Mine.

A Diesel oil engine of 200 horse power, arrived on the Alaska for the Midas mine at Solomon basin and was taken over to the company's wharf by that steamer. This is the first en- zine of this type brought to this sec tion of the country and it will be in- stalled at the mine to run the com- pressor and an electric light plant, the switchboard and generator for the latter having been received several weeks ago. It is expected that the plant will be running about the first of June. Two Diesel experts came up on the boat to set up the engine.
 The Diesel is an internal combus- tion engine, using almost any grade of fuel oil, and as a consequence is very cheaply operated as compared with gasoline or kerosene engines. The electric plants consists of 35- kilowatt generator, switch board, and other necessary apparatus and will be used to illumine the mine and build ings of the company in the gulch.
 At present four machine drills will be operated and this number will be increased as conditions of mining and shipping permit.

PRAISES ACTION GOVT. BOARD
BROWN TELLS OF STRIKE,
Says Board of Arbitration and COncil-
 iatiOn Treated Demands of Men with Utmost Consideration-Judx Addresses WOrlmen.

Recent arrivals from the westward credit Judge F. M. Brown of this city, of being an important factor in the settlement of the strike at An chorage, which, at one time, had the appearance of becoming serious, and endangering not only the peace of community, but the eventual com pletion of the road by the govern ment
 l Judge Brown, it is said, not as government official. but as citizen of Alaska, made strong appeal to the workmen, in an address delivered in Union Hall at Anchorage, to pre- serve order and to rely upon the members of the Board of Arbitration and Consolidation to give them all square deal, assuring them that the board was a competent and consci- entious body, which, after their in- 1vestigations would give them a fair wage.
 When interviewed this morning, Fudge Brown denied that he was en- titled to any credit for the peaceful ending of the strike, that matter be- ing entirely in the hands of the gov ernment board, which, he stated, had made a thorough investigation of the conditions at Anchorage, and had met the demands of the men with en acceptable scale of wages. He ad- mitted that he had addressed the men counsellinf calmness and patience, and that the men had, as a whole. behaved with moderation, and\ that there were no acts of violence com mitted, although in the early days things were threatening, as some of the men employed by the Commits sion did not join the strikers, but continued on with their work.
 Judge Brown praised the members of the Board of Arbitration and Con- ciliation, saying that they had treats i ed the men and their demands with the utmost consideration, and had evolved a wage scale that was ac- ceptable both to the men and the Commission. He expressed the opin- ion that the new wage scale would put an end to the friction which had existed for several months, and that the prompt settlement of the diffi- culty, meant much to Alaska, as in his opinion, had the strike been long continued, it would have resulted in long delay, in the completion of the road, if not its complete abandonment as a government project.

High Taxes in Irlenad.

Rev. E. H. Molony. formerly of this city, but now in Seward, lately received a letter from Dublin, Ire land, in which some of the causes leading to the recent outbreak were given, The letter had been opened by the censor. It was stated in the letter that property in that city was taxed over 50 per cent of its valua- tion because of the war. Some prop arty is taxed ten shilling and nine- pence in the pound and other prop erty is taxed over eleven shillings. In this country that would mean that a man with one thousand dollars worth of property would pay over $500 a year taxes on 1t.
