ENTER FRENCH LINE

Teuton Success North of Road of
the Ladies'" Paris Announces.
Paris, May 26.-In heavy blows
the Germans entered the French first
line trenches north of the "Road of
the Ladies'" (Chemin Des
Dames), it as officially announ-
ced by the war Office. The French
later recaptured large part Of the
ground in counter-attacks, the state
ment adds.
Savage seasaw fighting took place
in the west during the last twenty
four hours. The French registered
an important local gain some twelve
miles southeast of Laon. The Brit
ish frustrated all Teuton attempts to
regain lost ground. The Germans
assert they repealed all entente at
tacks.
Petain's new gain was made near
the Rheims-Laon Railway in the
southeastern part of ChevreuX WOOD
Despite stubborn Teuton resistance
the French made a substantial adj
vance. Numerous Teuton bodies
were found in the battered shelters
The Berlin war Office admits that
the British penetrated the Teuto'
first line near Loos, but asserts they
were driven out again by counter
attack Ten allied airplanes were
.baeged" by German fiers yester-
day, the statement says.

RESERVATIONS AND REPA1'
MENTS.

All the allies are quite willing to
contemplate peace without anneXa-
tions or acknowledgements they
do not exclude reservations and re-
payments. It is suggested II the
Russians can't keep peace with this,
thew will have to drop to the rear
and if the Slavs are capable of lick
ing the Teutonic hands that were
raised against them three years ago
then no chronological learning Is
needed to account for the derivation
of the word 'slave."
Premier Ribot says that Alsace-
Lorraine must be French. and If
the Alsatians wish it why not!
The German argument for the ac-
ouisition of Observation-Disclosures
from superior force-is that these
provinces were German about 100.
But they We're Individually French
in 1870, and the usual German meth
DDS of administration have made it
impossible for them to be anything
else today Some learned Germans
wonder why their country can AXE
no moral conquests." The notc"i-
Gus fact is that itycan't and Alsace-
Lorraine is as, French today as it
was in 1870, and if the people desire
to be included in France they will
be, and ought to be.

AsQUITH'S EXAMPLE

The President letter to Congress
man Heflin affords one an opporcun-
ity to warn him against making en-
Homogeneous speeches while the war
lasts. When Great Britain, in the
summer of 1914, entered the war
Premier Asquith was reported 10
have stopped speaking with
out notes on all public occasions IN
and out of Parliament. Mr.. Asqulth'
like Mr.. Wilson, was gifted in extern
poraneous speaking, but he trusted
nothing but his prepared manuscr'os
after Europe went to war. AS the
head of the British Government ne
had too much at stake to war
rant risking the inadequate or care
less expression of his thoughts in I'M
prepared addresses. The President is
in precisely the same fix. He should
follow Mr.. Asquith's example and
save himself no end of trouble.
The Springfield Republican says
those who are in sympathy with the
most overburdened man in the Unit
ed States and are sincerely deslrous
of aiding him in the tremendous task
in bringing the country's part IN the
great war to successful conclusion
will not clutch at the Presidents
chance infelicities of speech or his IN
completely phrased utterances in or
der to weaken the peoples confidence
in his leadership and discredit the
Administration. But there are many
who lie in wait for just such oppor--
tunities. In order not to DE unfair
to honest, constructive, patriotic crit
icism, it should be said that these are
the hypercritics, whose professional
calling is clearly defined by their I'M
placable animosities.
Attacks by the hypercritics on the
Administration, since war began,
have been confined chiefly to certain
members of Cabinet, but the Presl-
dent will not be spared as the months
mass. It is the fate of one in mis- DO
sition. He is already denounced IN
some quarters as failure as a war
President, which is mere beginning.
If the West. or any other section OF
the country, shows apathy concerning
war. Wilson is held responsible. II
somewhere a shell eXplodes prema-
turely, he is personally to blame. IL
Russia should make a separate peace
at any time in the next six months
Mr.. Wilson would be regarded as
pravelv at fault. If Germany should
nut France and Great Britain out OIL
business before the United States
could place 100000 soldiers on the
Western front and take over the en-
fire burden of the war, who would
there be to excoriate for feebleness
of will but the American President
IF the new tax on chewing gum
should displease ,somebody-and 1t
probably will-thank God there
would always be an opportunity 10
damn Wilson?

BLUE PARKA" BANDIT
 RETURNED TO PRISON CELL

h recent issue of Kansas City paper the following item appeared, which will be of interest to Alaskans generally:
 Charles Hendrlckson, federal convict from Fairbanks, Alaska, and George Eve ling, convict from kansas City, Mo, who escaped from the federal penltenuary at Leavcnworth, Kan, November l3, were ar rested at Topeka last week. Each IS under sentence of fifteen years for robbery.
 The Charles Hendrickson referred to Is the famous blue parka" man, the terror of the Fairbanks district in the early days, and one of the hardest characters that ever hit Interior Alaska After his escape from the penitent&ry Fairbanks authorities were no titied and asked to be on the lookout for him, although il was hardly likely that he would come North again, being so well known.
 He was sent to prison from Fairbanks in 1906, so that he has served out ten of the fifteen years to which he was doomed, but now he will be compelled to complete the iulI term. for if he had any credit marks on his account they have been stricken now because of his Jail break.

The set ting was the famous balcony scene, with the daring Romeo cOurting the blshing Juliet, and from beginning to end of this thrilling episode the popular trio of peerless comedi- ans kept the audience in q continuous up roar, bringing to fitting close an exccp- t!onglly good program.
 There were several other numbers on the program, but owing to the extremely cold weather their non-appearanCe was un- avoiClable.
 "Garrison Costar accompanied on the piano all the vocal and instrumental seleC tions and his work was greatly appreciated by all.
 Following the close of the program the toastmaster announced that luncheon was ready, whereupon the ladies and their es- corts proceeded uDstairs to the lodge room where q sumptuous luncheon had been pre- pared by Mrs Charles Strandberg and Mrs. King, and in the serving they were ably assisted by a number of willing workers. The tables were bountifully laden with all the good eats that go to make an affair Of his kind of a success and there was a liberal ,uprly of everything. leaving nothing to be desired While luncheon was being served the hall was being cleared and prepared for Iancing, and when the happy guests came town, dancing was the order of the evening. An obliging quintet of musicians very kindly alternated in furnishing the music, and the lodge and its members are greatly indebted to Mrs. Donneley MT. and Mrs. Robert Lowrie Garrison Costar and V. J.

 During the evening Mss Floan and Jim mic Farrell by special request, very obhg- ngly gave an exhibition of the new heslta- icn waltz, which has met with so much
 popularity on the Outside
 The cold weather detracted somewhat from the usual attendance, but the hall was nevertheless comfortably filled, and many of the guests and members came long distances, Iditarod Discovery, Upper Flat and the power plant on the lditarod all be ing well represented
 "The success of the entertainment is due 10 Grant Murdock, who had full charge of the affair, and also Ivan Wales, both of whom worked untiringly to make it the splendid success it was.
 'It being impossible to do full credit and justice to all those who 90 heartily entered into the spirit of the entertainment and gave freely of their time and services, the com mittee in charge, in behalf of the officers and members of the Moose lodge hereby desire to take this means of thanking all those who took part in the program, those who directly and indirectly gave of their time and assistance in the necessary work, and also the people of the community gen. orally who willingly loaned the various arti- cles required by the committee

DEPUTY MARSHAL DESTROYS
 SOME SQUIRREL WHISKY

Deputy United States Marshal Isaac Ev- ans recently destroyed Q quantity of liquor at Seward by order of Judge Bunnell, who has been holding court in the Third divi, sion If the description of the stuff given by the Seward Post was correct, the liquor must have been of that brand which impels its devotees to climb trees and telephone poles, and which is usually designated as squirrel whisky" There were several labels on the different bottles" says the Post, "but the contents were the same, and of such low proof that straw soaked with 1t could not be ignited. Its only similarity to whisky WAS the odor but with 8 few additional ingredients it might have made good floor vaInish." Consequently it would appear that there was little mourning over its wanton destruction.
 The liquor was seized at Point Campbell on the charge that it had been shipped into Alaska under false manifest, whcih was sus- taned the men who received 1t being con victed Under the law goods conhscated because of false manifest must be sold on order of the court.
 In th!s instance an appeal was made to the district attorney and then to the sec retary of the interior, that the liquor be de stroyed The latter took it up with the attorney general who, after conferring with Alaska officials by wire, arranged with the i court to alter the order of sale to an order for the destruction of the liquor The order issued included instructions to pay for the storage, hauling and breaking up of the shipment. The boxes were loaded on two big sleds and taken to the dump, where Evans, William Weaver and Mike 'ohnson, armed with hammers, broke the bottles
