To SAIL WITH
IN q HOURS
CAPTAIN KOENlG TO DECIDE
EXACT MOMENT FOR DEPART
URE OF SUBMARINE FRElGHTER
FOR GERMANY.

Baltimore, Md, July 31.-The Ger
man submarine liner Deutschland will
leave Baltimore on her return voyage
to Germany some time within the next
twenty.four hours, unless plans made
today are altered. Information to
this effect was received tonight from
a trustworthy source.
The exact time of departure was
said not to have been determined
upon. Captain Paul Koenig, COM
mander of the submarine freighter,
himself will decide when his vessel
shall be pulled into the stream from
the pier to which she has been moor
ed for three weeks.
Today was one of great activity at
the pier. A large barge which block
ed the entrance to the Deutschland
slip was moved away to another pier.
Aboard the barge was the ballast OF
the Deutschland, which she brought
from Germany. II consists of pig
iron and has been sold to a Baltimore
dealer.
The tug Thomas F. Timmins, which
met the Deutschland at the Virginia
capes upon her arrival and which has
stood guard over her ever since. took
on as much coal as she could carry
and took a position from which she
quickly can put aside one small noat
and cast a tow line to the submarine.

Three Good Deeds.

A Cleveland man noticed an Irish
man of his acquaintance coming along
the street with a most beatific eX-
preston of c0untenance
"Why are you so happy?" the Celt
was asked
"I have just done three good deeds"
answered the latter, and any man
who has performed three good deeds
has reason to be happy"
He has, indeed" said the other.
And may l ask what the three good
deeds were?'

StefanSsOn's Ship
 Returns From North
(Nome Nugget.)


 NOME. Aug. 16.-The Stefansson expedition ship Gladiator. one of the three vessels employed by the world famous explorer Vilhjalmur Stefans- son. discoverer of the new land north of Prince Patrick Lake in latitude S2 degrees north and 1+5 degrees west longitude. dropped anchor in the road stead shortly before noon today but brings no news of the fate or present whereabouts Of the noted Stefansson or those who accompanied him on his return to the newly discovered lana last summer Aboard the little schooner was one of the men who shared in the remarkable journey made by Stefansson across the wide reaches of the Arctic during the win ter of 1914-15 and which resulted in the discovery of the extension of the continental shelf far north of any point hitherto explored in that section of the northern sea. This man is Ole ! Anderson. a lean, wiry specimen of humanity. tough as the great Stefans- son himself and credited with abilities equal to those of the famous explor- l CT. Anderson has but little to say . respecting his own part in the famous ! journey made by Stefansson, Storker [ Storkerson and himself and only smiles faintly at the suggestion that ! he is a hero Anderson says that nothing has been heard of Stefansson at Herschal island since his departure l but expresses no fears that he will not return in safety The little l schooner with Anderson in charge de- parted from Herschal island on July 2 after wintering at King Point The last time Anderson saw Stefansson was when he left him nearly a year ago on Banks Land whither he ac- companied the explorer with supplies for the future work contemplated by : StefanssOn on the new found land. | Anderson states that the Polar Bear. ! Stefanssons principal ship since the wrecking of the Karluk off Herald island three years ago. probably win tered at some point on the northwest side Of Banks Land but says that it would entirely depend on the ice con ditions. The Gladiator encountered no difficulties on the journey to Nome. i Anderson reports that Capt. Peterson with the Berman left Barrow for the east on the third. Anderson brought down a considerable quantity of furs and business letters and communica- tion from persons engaged in trading along the northern shore. He will re main in Nome for a week before again setting out for Herschal.

Sir Sam Hughes Is
 Not Very Popular

Sir Sam Hughes, a high official, and who is reported to be looked upon in England as a hero, is not thought such by the Canadian press. The Toronto Globe of August 24th says editorially:
 Tt would be a crime, the ghastliest and most murderous crime of the war, no matter what the excuse or what the cause, were General Sir Sam Hughes given a real command of liv- ing soldiers in a genuine engagement anywhere on the wars battlefront
 "The thing - even the thought of such a thing suggested in yester- days despatches from Ottawa, is so moustrous that the man in the street would scout offhand the suggestion were it not for the fear that, judging from the experiences of the past two years. the thing might be true. And i if true. then God have mercy on the i officers and men doomed to service in ] that command
 His limelight posturings in Can ada in England and in France are Ganada's humiliation; but, facing a ] German charge, limelight for General Hughes would be the blackness of darkness for his men condemned to i do and die
 If the Prime Minister has no oth- CT way by which the country can be rid of Sir Sam Hughes, let the Can adiaus at home endure the affliction to it's worst rather than imperil the i lives of Canadians at the front by an army command as the price of his i resignation"

GOVERN MENT KEEPS CLOSE TAB ON POWER RECORDS OF WATER POWER IS BEING CAREFULLY TAKEN
 FOR FUTURE USE
LBv Forestry Department.l

tBA OItolIN btptl llAltit-J
 On account of the numerous re- quests from the engineering profes- sion for information concerning the amount of water power available on the numerous streams throughout Southeastern Alaska, the Forest Ser vice, in cooperation with the Geolog- ical Survey. has established since May 1. 1915, stream flow gages on the following streams:
 Fish Creek, at the head of Thorne Arm.
 Stream at Head of Shrimp Bay
 Bailey Bay. Karta River.
 Mill Creek, near Wrangell.
 Green Lake. near Sitka.
 Warm Springs Bay. on east side of Baranof Island. , Salmon River. near Juneau.
 Rhinestone and Birthstone Creeks, near Juneau.
 Sweetheart Falls. in Snettisham Arm.
 ! Speel River. Snettisham Arm.
 Long Lake. about 30 miles south of Juneau
 Unnamed stream near the head of Carroll Inlet
 These gages consist of an instru ment very similar to a clock, con taining a roll of paper upon which pencil makes a continuous record showing the rise and fall of the stream. A steel cable is stretched across the stream nearby supporting a small car from which meter read ings are taken, showing the flow ot the stream at the various points in cross section. These meter readings in connection with the continuous . record on the roll of paper, and the head of water gives the information necessary to work up the amount oi power produced by the stream.
 The Forest Service visits each one Of these gages once or twice each month throughout the year and much valuable data is being secured which will be available to the engineering profession and to any person who de sires To utilize the water power on these streams for manufacturing purposes.
