Copenhagen, but Of late the journey
takes two hours, following a route a
long way north of Saltholm. The sound
today is one great mine field, Swedish,
Danish and German. Like the great
belt, it's international waters-the mid
strait channel-are netted by the Ger
mans to keep the allies submarines
out of the Baltic. The crossing Of the
sound in these days is not without its
hazards, for mines are always break

shipping lanes. A few weeks ago all
the steamship communication between
Denmark and Malmo ceased for some
days, so numerous were the stray
mines. All the time nowadays the
steamers cross with lifebOats swung

The Germans have camped out in all

we were approached by torpedo-bOat

BOY SCOUTS AND WAR

In an official statement just issued,
telling what the boy scouts will do in
case of war, the national council of the
Boy Scouts Of America makes it clear
that no distinctive or definite part will
be taken by the scouts in any military
operations, and that no local organiza-
lions will have authority to involve
scouts in such service. 1t Is stated that
1t will be the privilege and pleasure Of
each member to volunteer his services
for cooperation with the local civic
authorities, and that the training which
scouts have had will make them ef-
ficient and dependable in doing such
work as
Rendering first aid to the sick or in
jured.
Sending messages by wire, wireless,
or semaphore.
Cooperating in the protection Of

moderately rich, light soil is most con-
genial to these plants, which should
be placed about or 10 inches apart,
if planted in mass or in borders. The
seed may be sown In the open ground

HAVING HARD TIME IN
 ICE IN INLET

According to a report received in Seward, the U. s. Transport Crook is now drifting back and forth with the ice in Cook Inlet eu route to Anchor age. SIush ice was running when the steamer came south and as it was turn ing colder it was believed that the In- let would be closed within 8 few days. A far as known here the Crook had not reached Anchorage this afternoon.
 The Marjposa will try to make An choragc but if the ice is running too strong, the steamer will not attempt to buck it and wil return to Seward and either unload her freight here or take it back Co Seattle.

NO WORD HAS BEEN RECEIVED
 FROM MESSING

No word has been received from the scarchcrs aboard the New Josie who went out yesterday forcnoons looking for Ben Swcasy and Bll Weaver, miss ing hunters who are believed to have been drowned. The New Josie should have reached Ialick Bay, where the two men went hunting, late yesterday afternoon IT the mon were found there, the New Josie should return here late this afternoon or early this evening. If the boat does not return within eight or ten hours, hopes for the safety of the two men are blasted
 Deputy Marshal Evans and others are hoping that the New Josie will find Sweasy and Weaver but the find ing of the grub basket and a smashed dory, which was believed to have been the one the hunters left Seward io. gives no hamburger of hope.

"This job is no cinch and what milk of human kindness l have in my make up will be soured if l stayeon it very long and get treated like l have from some of our Seward citizens" Thus quotb Mike Johnson, who is now in- specting the chimneys and other smoke carriers around Seward.
 Many of the citizens greet me with the glad mitt and want to protect themselves as well as the city in fnd- ing out whether their smoke chjmncys are o. K. Others begin moving their feet apout and appear ready to hand hand out the boot. but they can kick all they want to-there is an ordin- ance, and l am going to see that it is enforced" concluded Mir. Johnson.
 The former night watchm&n is now inspecting the fumes as was ordered by the Council last Monday night To- day he is working in the business sec tion and will move out among the res idences late today and for the next two or three days. It is no use to kick, there is an ordinance and citi- zens should, for their own protection, as well as the city at large, be glad to have faults pointed out and then remedied.

The hand of the government is go- ing to fall heavily upon some Seward citizens. or in fact anybody else who violates a certain regulation.

 This includes pictures Of the wire less masts at the new station, build iugs. in fact. even the fence which has been constructed around the 3o odd acres.
 It is unlawful to take pictures from any place of the new station and dur ing the past two days many films have been destroyed. Mr. Martin is a kind Iy disposed man but if people will not take the hunch, as he calls it, the fed eral authorities must do the rest and Uncle Sam will not be very lenient.
