Then the stories | man, oh, man!
 James Christoe presided as chair l man and made a good ones While he has less dignity thanF the late Speaker Reed, he is less vindictive than Uncle Joe Cannon--in fact, he is more like Champ Clark. Many glowing tributes were paid to both MT. Bennett and MT. Car. l penter by the dozens of men who have been under them in their sep l lrate departments and by Manager Bradley and Supt. Wayland, both of whom expressed deep regret at losing them. E. A. Haigler, in be- half the employees in MT.

They were ably assisted by dozens of their fellow workmen as all Treadwell employees, as expressed by Mana ger Bradley. work as on big fam fly when they undertake anything.

DESCRIPTIVE FEATURES AND PHASES OF FIERCE
 BATTLEN BEING WAGED IN NORTHERN FRANCE

NEW YORK, May 28-Something like 145 square miles of French territory reganed than 6OOOO prisoners aen from 70OO 2500O killed and stoppage of all plans Ger front offensive have results achieved to date in the great Franco British offensive
 The figures purely estimates Neither the allies Ger many have yet issued casualty lists for this fighting The is so irregular that it is difficult to figure actual acreage wrested from the invader But the defeat of Hndburgs plans for the summers fighting have been achieved beyond all doubt
 The strategy of the famous Hindenburg retreat was to force the British and French to make their much advertised ensve ground chosen by the German commander against positions defensively prepared in advance
 Hndenburg selected the last few days winter time which to make his retreat figuring for spring offensive to begin and that the spring thaws would at time when movement of pursuing troops would be most difficult However Ill order to hamper pursuit he laid waste every inch of ground At least three supplementary defense lines to the Hndenburg line spread this ground released to the French and British The Germans fig ured these lines would check all advances and permit with dawal with minimum of German losses to the Hndenburg line Once enrenched along the Hndenburg ne the planned spring offensive of their other front confident in the mpregnabiy of this long prepared line against any Franco British offensves.
 But the French and British pursuit far speedy than the Germans had counted upon Not only did the allies quickly the first preliminary German defense ne but they speeded and started their spring offensive weeks ahead of time Moreover instead directed the attacks at the pvots to the north and south which Hndnbg had sprung his retreat
 The British turned the northern point this Hindenburg line by the capture of Fresnoy Gavree and Oppy To the south the French crmbled away Cery Craonne It is around these northern and southern points that the fight ing is of fiercest intensity today

NORTHWESTERN ENGINES STOP :.
 VESSEL BUFFETEO BY WAVES.

The Juneau Dispatch contains the following account of the last south bound trip of the steamer North western:
 After leaving Cordova and shortly before reaching Spencer, the ship ran into a severe storm, accompanied by heavy gales, which churned the waters mountain high. During the blow the ships engine stopped for period of four hours, during which time the vessel rolled and tossed like a chip. as there was light cargo aboard. The storm. which officers of the boat stated yesterday was one of the worst ever experienced. lasted fully twelve hours Notwithstanding the shaking up the vessel got, the good old ship weathered it all in fine style; the only inconvenience being frequent trips to the rail of many of the passengers.

COURTS RULING TO AFFECT ALL
 WHOLESALERS

Judge F. M. Brown has issued a statement, in which he said that the activity of wholesalers in Juneau and San Francisco in shipping liquor into dry territory in this division was be- ing closely watched by the United States marshal, there being no inten- tion on the part of the court to allow efforts to enforce the law to be set at naught.
 q noted the local comment that we were being made catspaw for the wholesalers by issuing strict rules to prevent retailers in this district from shipping to dry territory" said the judge. and I desire to assure all that this will not be the case.
 Tt is too bad that some of the deal CTS in this division have misconstrued the meaning of the word clean up,' in connection with their being given un til January l to clean up their stock before prohibition becomes effective. -Tnere seems to De feeling that II is a chance to make clean up in cash and retire rich. Some of the dealers have simply gone mad over the idea of getting all they can while the op- portunity is open. The people of this district do not want this, and have made it so evident that I have issued orders restricting sales and hours of business.
 Nothing is being overlooked by the marshal. The law must be obeyed by wholesalers as we'll as retailers"

MEL TS WELSH FUR 4
 THIRD TIME

NEW YORK, May 28.-Benny Leon ard, New York's wonderful light weight. will have to just make the best of 1t and try with all his might when he meets Freddie Welsh tonight in this city. He never will get a real long distance chance at Freddies title. nor will be ever get short chance in a state where decisions can be given
 Leonards record is enough to shoot a streak of gooseflesh up Welsh's backbone. He has broken out with rash of knockouts, distributed over the chins of a long and healthy list of young men who have come up un- til they met the flying fists of the New Yorker. A string of knockouts is something the British dodger never had attached to his name. In fact there are very few instances in a glance at his record when an observer can find k. O. after a mans name.
 It will be the third meeting between the two boys. Some time ago, when Leonard had not perfected a knock 'em dead punch, Welsh agreed to meet him and was given the surprise of his championship life. Welsh was in poor condition and was given a sound beating by the youngster. Then they were matched again. The bout was held in Washington Park, Brooklyn. The trimming Welsh gave Leonard in that encounter will be remembered as the most thorough thing that ever happened to a young shining light. Welsh punched holes in Leonards de- fense and he moved so fast that Leon ard never was able to do more than lay peevish finger on him.
 The end of boxing in New York state probably will see Welsh's retirement for keeps. When they take away the big boxing center where he has been able to be beaten without losing his title he doubtless win De content to stop stalling and go to work on his health farm. Hence, it behooves Leon ard to work fast and hard when he enters the ring with Welsh.

ADMIRAL LINE OFFICER FIRST
 TO REGISTER IN SEATTLE.

Second Officer Otto Kohlmeister, of the steamer Admiral Goodricn, was the first Seattle man to register under the military conscription act. Kohlmeister is a naturalized German, trained in German merchant marine, but he is so thoroughly in sympathy with the country of his adoption in this war that he lost no time in registering. He has been an officer on Admiral Line boats for years. He was quartermas- ter and at the wheel of the steamer Buckman, now the Admiral Evans, when her captain was killed by a pirate.

STEAMER SAlLiNGS
 FROM SEATTLE CHANGED.

The Pacific Steamship Company have inaugurated daylight sailings from Seattle, and instead of departing from Seattle at p. m. all steamers for Alaska will leave at 10 a. m. This does not change the proposed sailing dates from Seattle, but will give a sailing hour that will be more agree able to the travelling public. and a bet ter arrangement for handling the large shipments of freight that are be. ing offered for the Alaska run.
