MINE SWEEPERS COMB
WATERS ABOUT BRITAIN
Loss of Edward VII Indicates
Presence of Fatal Explo-
sives in Seas

LONDON. Jan. 1o,-Mine-s sweeping op-
erations on vast scale have been in
augurated since the destruction of the
British battleship King Edward VII. pre-
sumably by mine planted by German
submarine
Although all the members of the ships
crew. III men, were saved, the loss of the
King Edward VII Is serious blow to the
British fleet. for 1t was one OF the finest
OF the last class OF predreadnoughts.
Since the German U-boats gave up their
campaign of destruction against mercan-
tile shipping evidence has developed that
many of these underwater craft have
been equipped for mine-laying purposes,
and are carrying on this work in the most
unexpected places around the British
Isles.
The King Edward VII was the 22d i'm
portant warship lost by England since
the war began.
The loss OF the battleship coming at the
same time as the announcement that the
allied forces have completely evacuated
the Gallipoii peninsula caused gloom, but
Government leaders, referring to the old
Rdage, Its an III wind rnat blows no
good" believe that this disastrous news
win have a good effect on recruiting and
further allay opposition to conscription.

TEUTONS LOST 10000 MEN
ON STRYPA, SLAVS DECLARE

PETROGRAD, Jan. 1o.-In the two-weelt
battle that eliminated In the capture of
Czartorysk and the driving OF all Austro-
German forces from the east bank OF the
Strypa River the Teuton losses totaled Mt
least $1,000 men. according to official es-
Inmates made here today. Official reports
TO the War Office state that the Russians
have taken more than 10000 prisoners and
that twice that number of Austro- German
soldiers have been killed or wounded.
During their successful operations be-
tween the Sereth and Strypa River the
Russians have advanced 30 miles along n
front OF go miles. This was accomplished
under severe weather conditions. but they
are now improving and II Is expected that
the drive westward will gain momentum.
The Teutons' positions on the west bank
OF the Strypa River are strongly fortified.
but from the cast bank tho Russians. with
their now plentiful supply of ammunition,
will be able to direct n devastating fire
upon the enemy's trenches.
The railway town of Buczacz. on the
west bank of the Strypa. Is already being
shelled by the Russian gunners and has
been set on fire in several places. The
capture of this town will give the Cars
troops complete control of railway line
leading to the Dneister River and put In a
dangerous position the Austro-German
troops opposing the Russian advance
northeast OF Czernowitz.

SLAvS SWEEP ON
In BIG OFFENSIVE
AGAINST TEUTONS
Austrian Loss Heavy in
Vain Endeavor to Save
Bukowina Positions
GERMAN PRESS ANXIOUS

LONDON, Jan. 10
The Russians continue to hold the upper
hand in the gigantic battle which has
been raging for more than week on
the huge battle line stretching from Kovel
to the northwestern corner of Bessarabi@.
Czartorysk, on the Kovel-Sarny Railway,
Is nrmly held by the Cars forces, two
Austrian attempts at its recapture hav-
ing been repulsed.
Terrific losses to the Austrians In vain
attempts TO halt the Russian advance
northeast Of Czernowitz, the capital of
the Bukowina. are reported In the Of
fetal report Issued tonight In Petrograd.
In that region alone, the report says,
the Austrians lost 1i7S men and 20
officers.
BY pushing their CEartorysk gain
through continued onslaughts the Rus
sinns also compel the Teutons TO weaken
their BukowIna lines and send reinforce
ments to the Volhynian theatre. Thus
they are gaining a step toward their ulti-
mate aim, the withdrawal OF the Teu-
tonic forces from the Rumanian border.
Berlin dispatches quoting German press
comment on the new developments in
the eastern theatre reveal n note of anx-
iety with regard 10 the strength and at
tacklnR power OF the Cars newly

u. S. TO PROTEST
AGAINST BRITISH
TRADE BLOCKADE
President Drafts General
Note on American Policy
Regarding Neutral
Commerce
APPLIES TO ALL NATIONS

WASHINGTON Jan. 10
The Administration will make further
concessions TO Congress in Its interna-
tional policy Satisfied that In view OF
the efforts made by Germany and Austria
TO meet this Governments views on SUBJ
marine warfare little further apprehen-
sion need be felt on that score. the Presi-
dent was today busily compiling an out
line Of a general trade policy.
II will apply 10 all countries but natur-
ally will affect under existing circurn-
stances only England and France IT
marks, officials say. an earnest effort
on the part of the President to meet the
Views of the Senatorial delegation led by
Senator Hoke Smith, OF Georgia. who
have presented statistics to show that
British illegallty was stransling Ameri-
can trade.
The President also is expected to reply
to Ambassador Won Bernstorff's latest
IIusitania note without any further delay.
State Department and embassy officials
expect lin to accept the suggested settle-
ment. In principle 1t has been approved
by Secretary Lansing. The only thing
hanging fire is the phraseology Of the
note As the document submitted by the
Ambassador Is informal, II can be changed
IL the President 80 desires without teop-
ardizing final settlement. And officials
say that Germany has met this Govern-
ment far more than half way In Its con-
tentions.
SO far as the Persia sinking was con-
cerned, there have been no new develop
ments. Ambassador Penfleld still Is walt
ing word from the Austrian Admiralty.
But officials say that they now are con-
vinced that the sinking of the liner with
the loss OF two American lives probably
never will be fully explained. But that
this incident of the war no longer is con-
sidered serious menace to the United
States Is best indicated by the taclt agree
ment on the part OF the Administration
leaders that no further effort will be made
to gag Congress In discussing the inter-
national situation.

Tonight the musicians will hold the much anticipated orchestra dance and there will doubtless be q large turn out of dance ard music lovers. The orchestra which will furnish the music for the evening is one of the larges, that has ever been brought to- gether in Nome and contains tal- ented musicians of the highest or der. Under the leadership of Miss Bertha Johnson this aggre- gation of harmony has been prac- ticing steadily for the past three weeks on music for this one event and 1t is thus indicated that a treat is to be afforded those who attend especially as most Of the selections will be entirely new to the Nome public. The committee in charg: have left nothing un- done to make the dance as enjoy able as possible. Good music and a pleasant evening are assured. The personnel of the orchestra IS printed elsewhere.

 A second later the trap was ,prung and Gagotf dropped seven .eet ten inches into eternity Death was instantaneous and hls rulse had ceased to beat in four minutes.
 1om Gagoff, a cousin of Alex. arrived on the Tuesday evening train from the outside, presuna- ply from Vancouver, and was placed under arrest almost imme- liate because of the police having loceived a tip to the effect that te was up to some mischief. On icing searched after leaving the train it was found that he was carrying thirty-eight Colt re- volver, fully loaded and also had several extra shells in his pockets. He is said to have purchased the revolver at Juneau while on his way here. He was arraigned in court Wednesday on a charge of carrying concealed weapons and received sentence of three months and a fine of one hundred dollars with the alternative of serving three months more if the fife is not paid. It is believed that he intended to slip the gun to his cousin so that he could cheat the galnws, it being credited by the Cossacks a great disgrace to die by the gallows route.
