Postoffice Department Starts New
System.

Effective July l, patrons OF the post
Office will not be required to fill out
the insurance tags to accompany their
parcels.
The tag has been relegated to the
discard by Uncle Sam, and an entirely
new system has been devised much on
the lines Of the present registry receipt
and which will be found much more
convenient for the public, enabling
them TO insure parcels quickly, avoid
congestion at postoffice windows and
without the delay formerly caused by
the requirement that the sender
complete the tags.
Coupon receipts will be issued to the
sender and complete record kept at
mailing Office as usual, but no receipt
taken upon delivery to addressee ex-
cept in cases where a return receipt
has been asked for BY the sender at
the mailing Office.

ICiCIe Water Free From Impurities

1t is we'll known that the city is now
and has been since the first OF July
supplied with water from the Icicle
ditch. In some way the report had
gained currency this week that the
Icicle ditch water was befouled with
impurities. The writer, for his own as
we'll as the benefit Of the general pnblic.
asked the city authorities to determine
the truth of the report. On Wednes
day an employe of the city went over
the entire ditch line and reported that
there is no foundation in fact for the
report. The ditch is free from
obstruction or contamination OF any
kind.

WAR WILL END THIS YEAR
SAYS HOLLAND PROFESSOR
Lack of food and Suffering, Coupled
With knowledge of Who is Re-
sponsible will Cause Uprising.

A famous Dutch savant, on his way
home from Holland was interviewed in
San Francisco the first of this week by
a representative OF the American Press,
and he said he is convinced the great
war will come to an end this year.
Professor D. Van. H. Labberton is
teacher OF and lecturer on Indonesian
language in the island Of Java, Dutch
possession near the Philippine islands,
in the far east, was on his way home
when interviewed. He has spent five
months in his home land and had
abundant opportunities to get inside
information from the Germans them
selves, who are only divided from his
home land by an imaginary land line,
where there is abundant opportunity to
converse with German citizens. He
says:
Starvation, the long strain Of the
war, with its endless succession of
sacrifices, hardships, shocks and
tragedies, and the other privations
which they have undergone, are bring
ing the people of Germany to the
breaking point" said Professor Lab
berton. From my observations in
Holland-and I visited towns on the
German frontier, where news trickles
through ceaselessly.-I can say frankly
that my opionion is that the war will
emo wIIHIu luIcC nUusuo.
II am led to this opinion by num-
Der OF things. An irrefutable argument
for it is that, knowing conditions in
Germany are many times worse than
the world is permitted to know, no
nation could possibly hold out longer
than the time l have indicated.
Il believe there will be concerted
and unanimous revulsion against the
warring Germany that will result in
strikes OF the vast hordes OF workers
on whom the Kaiser is depending for
the sinews OF war; a fiat refusal OF the
people to lend further support, either
financial or other, to the further prose-
cution of the war and whatever further
consequence it pleases you to imagine
would naturally follow such a crisis.
THE concensus of public, private
and official opinion in Holland is that
Germany cannot win the war, and this
feeling and the reasons back Of it have
gradually percolated into Germany
where the mass of the people, held in
ignorance OF the truth about the begin
ming and every succeeding phase OF
the war, are learning a little at time
spite OF regulations and restrictions.

FOURTY-FOUR |. ". VS.
ARRESTED BY U. S. SAMMIES
Taken From Here to WenatChee and Will
Go from there to Federal Prison.

United States Marshals and soldier:
came here the first OF this week and
took charge OF the strike situation.
After a thoro investigation, and on
information that certain members OF the
|. w. w. had violated the federal laws
forty-four were arrested Wednesday and
taken to Wenatchee. Thirty-one were
taken to Wenatchee on the early morn
ing train and Phil Hambrecht and Fred
Beauchamp were taken down in an
auto under guard Eleven more were
arrested during the day and put aboard
No. A and also taken to Wenatchee.
Fred Beauchamp is the man who came
here some six weeks ago to open the
l. w. w. headquarters. which was first
located ia the Lilly Hotel but more
recently removed to the Massie store
building at the east end OF Ninth street.
Phil Hambrecht has lived here for
several years and was generally regarded
as a peaceable citizen. By occupation
he was cook and had worked in logg-
ing camps and other places where men
were employed. He recently became
active in the I. w. w. movement as
an organizer. He is reported to have
made insulting and imprudent remarks
about the activity of the United States
soldiers who were sent here last Friday
to preserve order and protect property
in the event Of any disturbance grow
ing out of the threatened strike. Cal
Young, an old resident, was among the
eleven who were taken to Wenatchee
on the afternoon train Wednesday. All
the other men are practically strangers
here, having come since logging

Two Old Citizens Pass AWAY.

James B. Hathaway died Wednesday
morning at l o'clock, and was buried
in the Leavenworth cemetery Thurs
day at II o'clock. Services were con-
Quoted at the home OF his son Geo. w.
Hathaway, where deceased passed
away, by Rev. F. l. Moore.
James Beetle Hathaway was born at
E!mira, New York, Oct. IA, 1850, and
was 81 years old. He was one of
thirteen children. Two brothers lost
their lives in the war OF the rebellion,
one was killed in a railroad accident.
He himself ran away from home to join
the Union army at the outbreak OF the
war but was too young and was rejected.
July IA, 1871 he was married at Tioga,
Penn, to Viola R. Doan. OF this union
four children were born, OF whom
Geo. W., Mary and James B. survive.
He removed to Nebraska in 1879,
where, having previously lost his first
wife, he was married at Holdridge, to
Mrs. Jennie Foe. OF this union two
children were born, Harriet L. and
Charles L. D., both OF whom are living
in Leavenworth From Nebraska he
removed to Missouri in 1898, and in
1902 to the state of Washington and
the following year to Leavenworth
where he had since resided.
About three years ago he suffered an
injury to his head in runaway accident
from which he suffered for some time.
Last fall he had a stroke OF paralysis
from which he rallied. but never re-
covered his former strength. 1t was
the injury he received when his team
ran away which the doctors say caused
his death.
The writer knew him quite intimately
for the past fourteen years and learned
to respect him for his unfinching
integrity, industry, and his helpfulness
to others. Never a robust man he yet
worked early and late on his home
srrau on the hill south OF town. He
was universally loved and respected by
all who knew him for his many good
qualities. He left monument in the
memory Of the living that counts for
more than a monument OF stone.
The body OF Mr. Eastabrook was
brought here from eastern Washington
this week and was buried Yesterday in
the Leavenworth cemetery. He made
his home here for a number Of years
and will be recalled as a kindly and
very estimable old gentleman.

f. c. BOOTH WRITES
FROM THE TRENCHES
Tells Of German FLYER Attacking English
Observation Ball00n-BOth Are
Destroyed

In a letter to his wife under date OF
June 2nd, with the English artillery in
the trenches in France, Mr.. E. L.
Booth writes of his experience He
left here over two years agy for Canada
where he remained in training camp
over a year and then went to England.
Last fall his command was transferred
to France, and since then he has been
more or less on the firing line. As
coming directly from a Leavenworth
man on the firing line, what he has
to say will be read with no little
interest:
THE scrapping is more or less in
cessant. and more so after dark than
in daylight, as if warefare had degen-
Grated to the level Of burglary, and
must, Of necessity, be carried on at
night. and rob decent folk OF their
sleep. And while we have Fritz out
classed in artillery, in men, and IN
other sinews of war, still the ground
only changes by yards, where one
would think the change would be in
miles. But our side is just starting
"big drive' now, and we are looking
for substantial victory on this part OF
the line within a week or ten days.
We have witnessed some interesting
scraps in the air and have seen three
or four enemy aeroplanes brought
down, but the most spectacular OF all
was only Yesterday evening, just as
dusk was turning to night. One OF
the British observation balloons, huge
affair stationed up in the air about
1900 feet, only short distance from
our camp. was attacked by German
plane which dropped like hawk from
a much niger altitude. There was
rattle of machinegun fire from the
German aviater, followed a moment
later BY the sharp crack of an anti-air
craft battery right back of US. Then
the two observers dropped from the
ballon hanging to their parachutes'
and 20 seconds later, where the bal
loon had been, there was great burst
of fame floating slowly earthward, then
smoke, then nothing. In the mean
time, the plane was making its get-a-
way, followed by shells from the bat
tery, which we could see bursting all
---rrd it At last. when II was moth
ing but speck against the gray Say
and we thought he had gotten away
safely, the speck changed into blot
ot smoke. and four miles away it
crashed to the ground, just inside our
lines.
We pass within few feet OF a num-
ber of our batteries every day and have
the satisfaction OF seeing them belch-
ing their messages of death and de-
s,ruction at the German lines, They
vary in size from inch to IS inch
bore and the largest shells must weigh
we'll over 1000 pounds.

JUNEAU'S MOST FAMOUS
 MEMBER OF THE CANINE
 FAMILY PASSES AWAY

Buster-sometimes called Bust CT Smith"--is dead. Buster was probably Juneau's best known ard handsomest dog. He was the prop erty of Buddy" Smith, the young son of Territorial Treasurer Wal stein G. Smith, and had been his almost constant companion for al most ten years.
 Buster was shot Thursday night. He had been consorting with sev- eral other dogs in the neigh borhood of Gold and Sixth and Seventh streets, and someone who was an- noyed at the dogs, shot him, and he died of his wound Friday.
 The grief in the Smith family on account of the death of Buster could not have been much greater had a member of the family passed away. In fact, he was regarded as one of the family. His intelligence, kindliness, fohdness for the mem- bers of the family and all children, his gentleness and good manners had endeared him to all who knew him.
 Buster gained fame among other things by his performance as one of the leaders in the dog teams ap- bearing in the motion picture pro- duction of Jack Londons Smoke Bellew." He made trip from Ka- talla to Truckee, Calif., for that purpose. He was a graded Alaskan huskie, and his large size, kindly and intelligent expression, and fine coat of fur made a beautiful pie tIre.
