JUNEAU TO HAVE PLENTY OF COAL
 DURING WINTER
Cheerful Information Is Brought North by Agent of the Pacific Coast
 Coal Company.
JUNEAU GETTING SHORT
Mines Are Being Worked to Full Extent and Plenty of Coal
 Promised.

Juneau will be able to get all the Washington State coal that she can burn this year-and the same con dition will obtain elsewhere in Alas ka That is the information brought back from Seattle by R. R. Young, Coast Coal Company. However, there is a possibility that there may be shortage of British Columbia coal, though the coal mine operators of that province have promised that they will sell all the coal that they can spare from time to time. q was offered ail the coal that Alaska may need" said Mr. Young and the companies are ready to contract for it at any time. The op- ening of the Issaquah mine and the development of other mines has made it possible to increase the coal pro duction of Washington State enor- mously and the operators are ready to contract for the delivery of their product in any quantities.
 
 of the circumstance that all Canad- an coal mine operators have been instructed that their plants must be held subject to the demands of the British Admiralty, the best promise could secure from the British Col. umbia coal producers was that thoy will sell as much coal as they cGn spare to Alaskan purchasers when ever the ship arrives to get the coal. That this is likely to be a liberal quantity is believed, but the mine operators will not even guess upon how much it will be. About 700 .ons had been promised for Juneau when I was there"
 The assurance of MT. Young that Juneau will have all the coal she can burn created joy among Juneau coal dealers, as there was genuine ear that there might be a shortage for the coming winter. Before the arrival of the Redondo today, the coal supply on Gastineau channel had become very short, and there was lear lHdt IL HliSnl not De Teplell- shed as fast as the demand for it.
 The Pacific Coast Coal Company plans to store at the old dock at he foot of Main street, about 400 )r 300 tons of coal which will be Ised only in case of an emergency It will be the purpose of the com )any to keep enough coal on hand It the new dock to supply the de- hand, and only use the coal at the Main street wharf in case the regu- lar supply shall become exhausted at any time.

ITALIANS NEARLY TAKE EMPEROR
 A PRISONER
Charles of Austria Has Narrow Escape While on Trip to the
 Front.

GENEVA, Sept. 27.-An official telegram from Landeck, in the Ty rol, states that Emperor Charles with large staff in automobiles recently visited the Alpine outposts of the Austrians in the Trentino.
 The telegram declares that the Emperor's visit was risky and adds
 Although the attention of the enc my was attracted by tho important escort, the Emperors descent from St. Elivo Pass was made without incident
 A Lugano report confirmed by Swiss troops watching on St. Elivo Pass states that the Emperor and his whole staff narrowly escaped capture because the Italian com mander was informed by an aviator that many automobiles were in the vicinity. The Italian troops thereup- on attacked and captured an Alpine outpost, while the royal motor party fled down the St. Elivo route un- der machine gun fire.

Copper Strand Connecting Juneau with Outside World Breaks but
 Help Is Near.
BURNSIDE ON THE JOB
Empire Wires for Press Service to Be Sent by Wireless from
 Seattle.
The cable am bust.

That is, the copper wire connect ing Juneau with the outside world broke late yesterday afternoon, ac- cording to the Sitka tests, about 800 miles from Seattle which would put the break in the Pacific ocean be- tween Cape Flattery and Sitka.
 Fortunately-yea verily-fortunate ly, the cableship Burnside, which has just come off the dry dock, was north bound via the inside passage for Seward to repair the cable which has broken between Seward and Valdez
 The Burnside was picked up at Wrangell last night and instructed to go to the scene of the new break and make repairs.
 If the weather continues bad on the Pacific it may take some time for the Burnside to pick up the ca ble. then follow it along to the break If good weather prevails it should be only matter of a few days be- fore the repairs are completed, but there must be calm weather when the ends are found and the splicing begins.
 In the meantime. The Empire, al ways energetic and always demand ing the best, no matter what the cost, has wired the Associated Press at Seattle to send the news of the world by wireless, as nearly three thousand subscribers are depending on this medium for war news, gen eral news from abroad, for news of the Argentine trouble, Pcru's prob able breaking diplomatic relations with Germany, the labor situation in the United States and scores of oth- CT important things and then the un- expected. And not only The Empire subscribers but all other newspapers are wiring to The Empire for ser vice knowing that Tine Empire will get it if there is any way possible.
 The press rate on the United States cable is one cent for every word and over the wireless the press rate is three cents but The Empire must have the news and the instructions to the Associated Press were Give us the news"
 The wireless was jammed with messages today of commercial na- ture but everything was being done early this morning to get the press matter through.

HITS UNCHARTED ROCK AND SINKS
 CREW IS SAVED
Codfisher Rips Off Her Entire Bottom: Crew Without Food for
 Five Days.

According to a wreck report filed in the local customs house today, the gas schooner Hunter, of the westward cod fishing fleet was wrecked on an uncharted rock and sank within eight minutes. The crew was forced to take to the boats and the men were without food and wa ter for five days
 The Hunter was returning to Kod- iak with full load of codfish. She was running before a northeast gale and when near Foggy Cape struck a rock. The rock does not appear on the charts and the swell was not breaking to give warning of it's pres ence. The Hunter was not retarded in her speed and sank within eight minutes, having undoubtedly torn the entire bottom off the ship
 The crew took to the boats The wreck occurred at a. m. on August 30th and on September 3rd they reached Chignik, having had no food or water during that time

WHEAT IMPORTATIONS
FROM CANADA INCREASING

WASHINGTON, d. c N ,oV. 20
Since April of this year wheat and
wheat -four have been imported in
greatly increased quantities from
Canada. This is attributed principal
ly to the fact that on April 16 Can
ada removed the duty on wheat inl-
ported into that country, which action
automatically admitted Canada wheat
free into the United Estates under the
provisions of the tariff law of 1918.
According to new statistics furnish
ed by the Bureau of Foreign and Do
nestle Commerce of the Department
of Commerce, 84O,9S1 bushels of wheat
were imported from Canada in Sep
tember of this year, as compared with
3,269,6 bushels for the whole nine
months ended with September 1916.
For the nine months ended with
September of this year, We imported
wheat from Canada to the extent of
q, AGO. 69 bushels, over 14,000,000
bushels of which came in free after
April 16. The imports of wheat -four

GERMAN COAL SUPPLY
IS NOW VERY SCARCE

BERNE, Nov. 26-Gerany has re-
sorted to stringent measures of re-
ducing its coal consumption dur
ing the coming winter by cutting
down its train service and curtaipng
the number of people who travel,
especially in express trains.
The latest edition of the Joural of
of the Association of German Rail-
roads announces that at recent meet
ing of the Representatives of all Ger
man railroads, held in Berlin, it was
unanimously decided not only to re-
duce the number of trains, but to put
such a high cost upon travelling, by
means of radical raises in the price
of tickets, as to insure that only those
will travel who absolutely must DO
So
The advances contemplated and
which probably will become effective
within a very short time are as fol-
lows On all tickets for express
trains costing up to five marks, an
extra charge of three marks will be
levied; tickets hitherto costing from
five to 10 marks will be taxed eight
marks extra; from 10 to Is marks.
13 marks extra; from Is to 20 marks
20 marks extra, and for sums aU0Te
70 marks, 10 marks extra for each 10
marks as ordinarily charged.
Lokewfse there is to be a sharp
limitation in baggage regulations SO
that both the size and number of
trunks, as we'll as their weight, will
be cut down. For the first time in
many years, Sunday trains are to be
reduced in number. Hitherto they
heave always run on week day sched-
ules, sometimes even have been In
creased in number because of the
Germans love of making Sunday ex-
cursions.
In order to assure the punctual arr
rival and departure of trains, which
unfortunately suffered greatly last
winter because - was impossible to
get up enough steam to haul long,
heavy express trains on time, the time
tables will be revised so that trips
will be longer than under the pr 2s>
ent schedule-though probably no
longer than they have actually been
taking

FEMALE ALIENS TO
BE- HANDLED ALSO

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-An amend
ment to the law providing methods
for dealing with enemy aliens so that
it will include females over fourteen
years of age as we'll as males is to
urged upon Congress by Attorney Gen
eral Gregory, it was reported on good
authority today.
There is not the slightest doubt
among the department of Justice Of
ficials that many women are workins
under German supervision in this
country and have been responsible
for MANY plots to destrop munitions
plants and othed establishments, So
1t is recognized that a curb should
be placed on the activities of feminine
enemy aliens and they be made Sub
iect to internment.
1t is expected also that recommen-
dations will be made by Mr.. Gregory
regarding the manner in which the
government should deal with subjects
of countries allied with Germany. De-
partment of justice agents have filed
frequent reports that they are ham
pered in rounding up spies. War not
having been actually declared against
Austria Hungary Turkey and Bull
garia, subjects of those countries are
operating with impunity with agents
OF the Kaiser.
Other developments in the enemy
alien situation disclose that plans are
complete for detailing troops of the
regular army to guard important
points along the Atlantic seaboard
where gerat damage may be done BY
persons working in the interest Of
Germany

Diest was attacked by Germans
about three days ago. They wanted
to take the old fortifcations so as to
control the road and use the place
as base of operations. 1t could
hardly be called a big battle, but
was more probably in the nature Of
a reconnaissance in force with four
or five regiments of cavalry This
part of Belgium is the only place
on the whole field of operations
where cavalry can be used, and they

People Ready to
Fight to Death

The shops were all closed and
most of the people were sitting on
the sidewalk waiting for something
to turn up. Some of them had evi-
IDENTIFY been to America, and we
had an ovation all the way in. The
Grande Place was filled with motors
and motor trucks, this evidently
being a supply depot. We had some
of the local mineral water and
talked with the people who gathered
round for a look at the Angliches.
They were all ready for anything
that might come, particularly Prus-
slams. In the old days the Uhlans
spread terror wherever they ap-
peared, to burn and shoot and
plunder. Now they seem to arouse
only rage and a determination to
fight to the last breath.
There was a little popping to the
north and a general scurry to find
out what was up. We jumped in
the car and made good time through
the crowded, crooked little streets
to the Notifications. We were too
late, however, to see the real row.
Some Uhlans had strayed right up
to the edge of town and had been
surprised by a few men on the
earthworks. There were no fatali-
ties, but two wounded Germans were
brought into town in a motor.
They were picked up without loss
of time and transported to the near
est Red Cross hospital.
Cursing our luck we started off to
Haelen for a look at the battlehelds.
Prussian cavalry made an attack
there the same day they attacked
Diest, and their losses were pretty
bad.
