cANNERY MACHINERY AoR'FT;
 OUTFIT PROBABLY WRECKED

The officers of the cify of Seattle reported that when the steamer was crossing Queen Charlotte Sound northbound, they sighted two scows loaded with cannery machinery adrift. The Seattle endeavored to pick up the scows, but they were too close to Egg island and were unable to get close enough to them The officers also reported that as the Seattle started up Fitzhugh Sound Q tug boat was met putting out into the Sound to pick the scows up.
 The officers state that they are of the opinion that the scows were lost as they were in a dangerous place and probably went ashore before the tug reached them. What cannery the machinery belonged to is not known and local cannery and fish men are busy speculating as to the destination of the machinery.

The Germans occupied the cailete woods, entering a wedge In tho Yer dun lines, after a curtain of fire had stopped their progress, and coun- ter attack left the French occupying the opposite end of the woods. Real izing the immediate need Of sortiii- cations. the German commander sent a sxirmishlng party to engage the French, while he formed human chain about four deep and 600 yards long from the supporting trenches in the rear Of his advanced position. Over 5000 men passed wooden bil- lets, sandbegs, steel shelters, and light machine guns from hand to hand. like a bucket brigade, thus crossing rough ground impassable in any other manner. Gradually as the French guns ripped holes in their lines, they built a rampant of corpses that furnished some protection. and while the advance partly slowly re- tired, they built breastworks that defled the shell fire

They were very lucky to escape smothering, and were dumped out with the manure un- discovered. At nightfall they made their way to the adjacent Holland boundary, only to find @ line of sem tlnels. They made 8 desperate rush at once. trusting. to luck that one might escape. and found the senti- nel to be a log of wood equipped with helmet. rifle and uniform.

Turkey and the Submarines.

Turkeys confession of responsibility for the
sinking of the Persia would clear up mystery, but
at the same time bring on a new diplomatic prob
lem. 1t is nearly a month since the British liner
was destroyed of the Island of Crete with loss
two Americans. The of the disaster, how
ever, remains undetermined. Both Germany and
Austria have declared that no submarine under
their command was concerned in the vessels fate.
None of the surviving passengers has testified posi-
lively convincingly that submarine caused the
explosion. Thus the United States Government has
been constrained to suspend judgment and await
further evidence which to base action. 1t
seemed, indeed, that the entire affair would fade
into the inexplicable things of the war.
But if, as dispatches now intimate, Turkey
have grounds for procedure; and the need of a
conclusive understanding with all. the Teutonic
allies regarding submarine operations will be more
than ever urgent. Until the Ancona case arose it
was presumed that negotiations with Germany
would apply in principle to Austria. Berlin having
agreed to observe international law in this respect
it supposed naturally that Vienna would do
likewise But it was not without difficulty that
the United States obtained compliance with that
idea.
If the submarine issue is to be settled satisfac>
torily, the principles involved must be accepted by
all parties the alliance of the Central Empires
Austria. Otherwise, German or Austrian subma-
rnes could continue to defy the law under the cover
of the Turkish or Bulgarian flag.
