LOSES CLAIMS
 OVER ON DOUGLAS lsLANL

The commissioner of the General land office has affirmed the decision of the officers of the local land office rejecting the application for patent of Joseph Weyerhorst for seven lode claims located on Douglas Island, north of Douglas and directly oppo- site Juneau.
 The application was rejected for the reasons that Weyerhorst failed to have $500 worth of improvements placed on and for the benefit Of each of the claims The application was rejected for the further reason that the work had not been finished before the time Of the expiration of the period of publication.
 In filing exceptions to the decls- ion Of the local officers, Mir. Meyer horst set forth that work on the claims by George Perry who was claimed to be O trespasser could be counted in his improvement work. The local officers held that such was not the case and that the appll- cant should do all the work neces- sary. Under the decision of the Commissioner, Weyerhorst has the right of an appeal to the Secretary of the Interior, or to recommence the period of publication. In the latter event the ground will again be sub iect to the rights of adverse claim ants for the regular period of s months subsequent to the last date of publication.

Once again the German line in France has been hit hard. Starting an offensive running from the southern bank of the Ancre river northward over a front of about five 1niles-from St. Pierre Divion to the north of Serre- the British have captured the towns of Beaumont-Hamel and St. Pierre Divion and first and second line trenches at various points.
 Between 5000 and 4,000 men were made prisoners in the attack. The Germans apparently offered slight re- sistance to their adversaries, although their positions were extremely heavily fortified. A maximum gain to a depth of one mile over the five mile front was made by the British. Hand fight ing continues north of Serre.
 The new drive probably has as it's objective the straightening out of the British line northward from the re- zion of Le Sars across the Ancre and the pushing forward by the British left wing toward Achiet-le-Petit, the junction point of the Arras- -Bapaume and Arras- Miramauont railroads.
 Except in the Rumanian and Mace donian theatres there has been little fighting of great importance on any of the fronts. In the Transylvanian Alps region Bucharest admits that the Rumanians in the Alt River sector have been compelled to yield ground to the Austro- -Hungarians, but asserts that King Ferdinand's men have held their own agegnst attacks in the Com pulung district. Both Vienna and Berlin record further advances for the troops of the Teutonic allies all along

PRESIDENT WILSON IS
 BACK IN WHITE HOUSE
Showed Anxiety Over Political Com
 plexion of Next House.

Washington, Nov. @13. - President Wilson, back in the White House for the first time since the campaign be- gan two months ago, plunged into work today in an effort to clear his desk of accumulated business. Taking for granted that he had been re-elecE- ed he asked no questions about elect oral votes, but did display anxiety over the political complication of the next house of representatives. Through an interview with Secretary Lansing, the president got in touch with pressing foreign problems, including the sub marine, Mexican and British blockade issues, and in a talk with Henry Mor- genthau, chairman of the finance com mittee of the democratic national com mittee of the democratic national committee, he became conversant with the latest developments in the political situation.
 State department officials make no secret of their belief that dangerous possibilities are presented by recent developments in both the Mexican and submarine questions. Secretary Lan- sing reviewed details with MT. Wilson today, but said no immediate action was in prospect. Some development is expected soon, however, at the Amer Mexican conference sitting at At lantic City.
 Officials in the confidence of the president stated definitely today that his reelection will mean no radical changes in any of his policies.

TO CHANGE COMMANDERS
 IN NORTHEASTERN MEXICO.
General Francisco Mursuia to Succeed
 General Jacinto B. Trevino.

Fl Paso, Tex, Nov. 13.-General Francisco Murguia is to succeed Gen eral Jacinto E. Trevino as commander of the northeastern military zone as soon as he arrives in Chihuahua City from the south with his reorganized division. Muguria is general of equal rank with General Trevino, who, it is understood, has asked to be re- lieved of his command at Chihuahua for personal reasons.
 The announcement of General Mur- guia's appointment as commander of the northeastern military zone was made here today from a source which is considered absolutely reliable. Gen eral Treyino is expected to return to his former headquarters at Monterey, although he may come to the border here for visit with Mrs. Trevino No reason is given for-GeneraI Tfeyino's s transfer, but it is understood that the failure to overcome the growing Villa movement is probably responsible for the change in commanders at Chihua- hua City.
 General Murguia is now advancing from Torreon as a base toward Chi huahua City with a large force of troops and is expected to arrive there within the next two days. Villa troops are again concentrating in the vicinity of Santa Ysabel, west of Chihuahua City, according to reports received here by American government agents. The report, said the bandits were com ing from the direction of Satevo, and military men here predicted an attack upon Chihuahua soon by Villas entire command. Railroad and telegraph lines south of Chihuahua City, which were cut by the Villa bandits, have been repaired.

 In Dobrudja, according to Petro- grad, advices received by wireless at Rome, the troops of Field Marshal van Mackensen are still in retreat and the Russian have crossed the Danube from the western bank and reached two points south of Tchernavoda on the eastern bank.

 The Serbians southeast of Monastir have scored another victory over the Germans and Bulgars, having captured the village of Iven, lying on the Ger na River northeast of Polog, and forced their antagonists to fall back nearly two miles. About 1000 men were made prisoners in this fighting and large numbers of guns and quan- titles of arms and ammunition were captured, according to statements from the Serbian and French war of fees.

CAPTAIN BRITISH STEAMER
 RoWANMoRE WAS KILLED
When British Destroyer SheIIed Sub- marine on Which He Was a Prisoner.

Baltimore. Nov. 13.-According to information received, by the Johnston line of this city, Captain Phelan of the British steamer Rowanmore was killed when a British destroyer shelled the German submarine on which he was taken as prisoner after the sink ing of his vessel last month.
 The Johnston line also received in- formation that Capatin John Mitchell of the Donaldson line steamer Cabotia and Captain John Browne of the steamer Marina, both of which were sunk by submarines, lost their lives, but in what manner was not stated.
 Dispatches containing this informa- ton came from Liverpool. Previous Berlin despatches were to the effect that the Rowanmore tried to escape the attack of the submarine and the crew took to the boats, leaving Captain Phelan to his fate. It was then that he was made prisoner on the German submarine.
 Cable despatches also have stated that Captain Browne of the Marina was drowned when he jukped from the deck of his vessel, missed the small boat and fell into the sea, after the Marina was torpedced- a
 The Cabotia was sunk Oct. 23. Ac- cording to lasL cabled reports the two boats in which the captain and crew took refuge are missing.

ASKS FOR HIGHER STANDARD
 OF CHAPLAINS IN ARMY
Conditions Among Troops on Border
 Criticised in Meeting of Cleraymen

New York, Nov. 13.-Conditiops among the merican troops on the Mex ican border were the subject of crtti- cism in a meeting of clergymen which preceded the opening of the annual meeting of the board of foreign mis- sions of the Methodist Episcopal church here today. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, pastor of the Central Con- gregatiQnal church of Brooklyn. who went to the border as chaplain of the Twenty-third New York regiment. said:
 Conditions are such now that a gentleman of my calling. I believe, would be unwilling to take chaplain's position. There should be a higher standard of chaplains in the army and a weekly attendance at divine service by soldiers should be a matter of dis cipline and army regulations"
 Dr. Cadman declared that '9f we were doing in this country what Can ada is doing at this moment along military lines we would have ready at any time 11.000, 900 men to guard our borders, but unfortunately we have let individua1ism become so prominent a feature of our existence that we still have some way to go in order to fully realive our nationalism."
 Gifts from the late Mrs. D. Willard James of this city aggregating $250,- 100000 for the retired missionary fund and special work were announced at the boards meeting

ARRANGEMENT FOR SENDING RELIEF TO PEOPLE IN SYRIA.
The Collier Caesar Scheduled to Leave
 New York About Dec. 20.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Final ar engagements for sending the collier Caesar, the Christmas ship" with supplies for war sufferers in Syria were completed today at conferences between Secretary of State Lansing, Assistant Secretary Phillips, Secretary of the Navy Daniels, Director Ernest P. Bickne1l of the Red Cross and Former Ambassador Henry Morgen- thau and members of the Armenian and Syrian relief committee of New York. The collier will arrive in New York December 14 and is expected to sail about the goth due to reach Bei- rut, Syria, about a month later
 Members of the committee are dis appointed because the Caesar will car ry considerable less than originally es- timated. It was said at first that she would be able to take about 1000 tons, but it develops that her maximum will be about 2,500. Attempts were made to secure more commodious boat, but none was available.
 Over $400,000 has been collected as a result of the war relief days, October 21 and 22, set apart by President Will son for the sufferers in Armenia and Syria Money is still coming in and the total may pass the half million mark. Only $250,0$00 was needed to fill the Caesar.
 The Caesars supplies will go en- tfrely to the Syrians who are suffering under requisition of food by the Turks, blockade by sea, car shortage by land and destruction of foods by a terrible locust plague. About 100000 people are said to be on the verge of starvation
