RUSSIANS FAIL BRITISH
IN ASIATIC CAMPAIGNS
LONDON Sent,

LONDON. Sept 4.
The long continued inactivity OF the Brit
ish forces In Turkey was today attributed In
military circles to the conditions prevailing
in the Russian army. The original plans
for the crushing of Turkey called for joint
offensives by the Russians and British, the
former driving through Armenia. to effect
junction with the British in Mesopotamia.
and the latter attacking in both eastern ana
western Turkey.
Bagdad was captured by the British on
March H. and on tho following day the
Russian revolution broke out. For time
the British and Russians continued to at
tack the Turks in concert, but then the
Russian morale broke down and in eastern
Persia the offensives came to an end.
deadlock developing which has lasted ever
since.
In the meantime the British had invaded
Palestine adding their new pressure TO the
strain that was already beginning to tell
upon the Turkish armies. a brilliant cam
paign during the latter part of April and
the first part of May brought such successes
to the British that predictions were made
that Jerusalem would be taken In June.
However. the weakening OF the Russian
thrust allowed the urks to send re-enforce-
ments into the west. with the result that
the British forces are still in positions in
Palestine they were holding nearly four
months ago.

FAIRBANKS.-(By mail. )-In re- sponse to an inquiry addressed to the department of justice several days ago relative to a small amount of money for fertilizer for the grounds adja- cent to the detention hospital, the marshals office yesterday received a communication giving the authority asked, and at the same time instruct ing the United States marshal to raise everything he possibly can during the coming summer. AS a consequence, Chief Deputy Marshal Joe Miller is now scouting around with the idea of working the prisoners who are serv- ing terms in jail, his intention being to raise all of the vegetables that will be consumed in the jail during the summer and also during the next win ter.
 Last year approximately $1,OOO worth of vegetables of all kinds were raised at the detention hospital. It is therefore expected that several good sized plots of ground will be cul- tivated this summer by the aid of the prisoners.

SWEDISH POET AND ASSOCIATES
 DEAL IN FISH

Seward will now have the opportun- ity to secure rhymes with it's fish, s. Lundblad having purchased the Seward Fish company from James and Oliver. Capt. S. s. Johnson and his partner, Ed. Jacobsen, are associated with Lundblad in the deal. Concern ing the deal Lundblad says:
 "These energetic and persevering fishermen and myself have formed a partnership to furnish the citizens of Seward with first class deep water fish of all kinds, each in it's own sea- son. There are now on hand halibuE and red snapper.
 Against cod fished from deep wa ter no person should have prejudice. Served with shirred butter it is verit- able delicacy. Cod can be obtained if notice is given a few days before it is desired. Salt cod and salmon bellies are on hand and also salted oohgan.
 "My endeavor will be to handle fish of all directions and to try to develop the opportunity that this locality un- doubtedly has as a fishing center"
 True to his reputation for poetry, Lundblad inscribed the following ap- peal to the capacities of those who might forget fish once week: On folks who have not wit enough
 To know that fish is a,.' Is wholesome, not at all as tough
 AS meat oft used for food do not figure, not at all;
 They cry, "No fish for me, My means are not as yet so small.
 Fish! We cannot agree" Some think the fish goes to the brain I am afraid my cure, However willing, were in vain,
 Could not be perfect, sure. All those the fact do not deny
 That people eating fish Life's hardships do quite we'll defy,
 Leave naught for strength to wish. I welcome to my silv'ry ware
 A course of fish, than meat, Is style that here should not be rare; Fish makes your temper sweet. To those who have our place at heart say: Eat lots of fish, It gives our industry the start,
