SEWARD BEING DISCUSSED IN

All Along the Pacific Coast People Are Looking for Great DOings
 in This Section

"From San Francisco in the south to Valdez in the north, people are talk ing about Seward and all along the coast there is a great belief that Sew ard is expected to do great things next spring, Everywhere l went I was be- sieged by persons who fired questions at me from long range and from the first line of trenches, bombarding me for information of this section Even at Ketchikau, Juneau and Cordova. Alaska discussions centered about Seward"
 The above statement was made this forenoon by A. H Mcdonald, agent of the Alaska Steamship Co.,, who re turned last night on the Alameda from a combined business and pleas ure tup Co the states.
 Mr. Mcdonald looks for a big travel to Alaska next spring and especially this section.
 "There is no truth" said Mir. Me Donald, "about the rumo,s being cir culated in Seward that the boats Of the Alaska Steamship Co. are to be taken over by the government. The Northwestern is the only craft to leave the northern service but the other three freight and passenger steamers will remain on the route"

BURNSIDES TO
 BE IN SEWARD
 EARLY IN WEEK
Cableship Was On Way to Seward When Ordered South Again to
 Make Repairs Near Seattle

The cableship Burnsides should reach Seward next Tuesday or We'd nesday according to word brought from Valdez on the Alameda. The Burnsides was proceeding north to re- pair the Seward-Valdez cable break but received orders at Wrangel, a week ago last Thurscday to go to the open sea and proceed south to point 800 miles from Seattle and repair the cable which had broken between Seat tie and Sitka. Word was received at Valdez yesterday that the Burnsides had arrived at the break, north of Cape Flattery, and would make re- pairs as soon as the weather permit ted. The Sitka office reported to Val dez that a weak spot had been detect ed in the cable about 200 miles south of Sitka aud this would also be repair ed before the cableship proceeded to Seward.

 Route-New Schedules

Steamer Northwestern, of the Alaska Steamship Company, has been commaudeercd by the United States government. This was the word brought north by A. II. Mcdonald, agent of the company, who returned on the Alameda last night
 Owing to the temporary withdrawal of the steamer Northwestern from the southwestern Alaska route, the steamers Alameda, Alaska and Mari posa will operate for the balance of September and October leaving Seat uc at 9 a. m. on the following dates:

LOCAL BANK ID
 TAKE FUNDS FOR
 BOYS IN FRANCE

The Bank of Seward has received a communication from Clark c. Grif- fifth. manager of the Washington American League, requesting them to cooperate in raising funds for the purchase of baseball supplies to be shipped to "our soldiers in France"
 A subscription of this kind was rais- cd some time ago and a large con- sienment of baseball paraphcrnaHa was shipped to France on the iII-fated steamship "Eausas," which all know was sunk by submarine before reaching her destination. The boys were therefore deprived of their ex- pected supplies. Therefore, all good Americans are asked to give their two bits or four-bits or a bone or two to the bat and ball fund that will make the boys in the trenches feel that the folks back home are right behind them in the glorious work for de- mocracy and humanity.
 Subscriptions, however small, will be welcome and the Bank of Seward is authorized to accept the same. The Sporting News of St. Louis, Mo-, the legal authority on baseball news in America, will publish the names of each and every contributor to the ball and bat fund, hence, the names and amounts of all contributors will be sent in.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Shipping
experts here are more than ever con-
vinced that America will face a
dearth Of tonnage the coming year, so
serious as to prevent movement OF
more than 100000 to 100000 men by
the end of 1918.
Joint warnings of Sir Joseph Mac
lay, British shipping controller and
Lord Northcliffe, publicist, that there
must be 100000 tons Of new ship
ping annually, are not unheeded here.
Among government heads it is realized
that the submarine situation was and
is serious.
But such men as Secretary OF the
Navy Daniels and Admiral Benson de-
clare that there is no occasion for be-
coming hysterical and that the sub
marine situation is more satisfactory.
One-half of one per cent Of con-
vowed Ships are being lost. Practical
ly all ships are under the new convoy
system.
However, as the United Press stated
September 80, american troop trans
portat.on to Europe the next six
months may be greatly curtailed."
The war department has submitted
to the shipping board an estimate
that ten to fifteen tons OF shipping
space must be available at all times
for every soldier sent to Europe. The
governments official estimate is that
by the end of 1918 America will have
100000 tons Of shipping available.
From the above figures 1t can be
seen that the total number OF men
sent to Europe before the end OF an
other year is likely to be under 1000
900 unless added ships can be OBJ
tanned from outside. This is doubtful,
in view Of the allies own ships needs,
and Lord Northcliffe's warning vir-
tually that America must go 1t alone
in the matter Of ships.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-The I. w. W..

charges Of 10000 anti-war crimes
against the government, ON which 166
members were indicted.
This was indicated today In the
sweeping denial OF all the charges by
Otto Christensen, chief counsel for
the organization.
THE charges made by the govern
ment cannot possibly stand up" said
Christensen.
"In the first place, the !. w. w. at
no time has taken any position one
way or the other as to the war. Some
of the strikes it is charged with call
ing to embarass the government, were
initiated before the war started. Most
Of the 10000 offenses in the indict-
ment refer to the conscription act.
Thousands Of members Of the I. w.
w. have registered and been conscr1pt-
ed, and at no time were any of them
extorted to fight this law.
THE charge that German money
has been backing the organization Is
ridiculous"

nearly 100 Of the indicted men are
now In custody.

Perry is alleged to have been one of
the leaders in the recent Arizona

The government has asked bonds
totaling $685. 900 for those under ar
rest. Christensen is expected to 60

ask for a reduction In these bonds.
