WOMAN WHO PUT THE BONE IN
 DRY BILL
Special to the Timesl

SEATTLE, March 29. - A former Vancouver woman, now residing at Skagway, in a recent letter to a friend. which was later published in the Van couver, B. C., World, telling of the progress of prohibition in Alaska, de- clares that the women of the north land were responsible for putting the saloons out of business.
 Yet larger proportion of Alaskans on the outside heartily welcomed the news that Alaska is "bone dry" The majority of those opinions have come from men. One old-time "sourdough" who went through the rush days" sagely remarked the other day: You never know what sober minds will do for Alaska and it's development"
 The story this Alaskan woman writes to her friend contains an inter- esting yarn of certain Mrs. Dabney, who is employed at station called Mile 3 1-2, on the new government railroad, between Seward and An chorage.
 Mrs. Dabney's duties are to provide entertainment for the men who visit the station, and to keep the big log building clean and neat.
 Sometimes as many as 75 men take their meals there. and Mrs. Dabney has oa,1, slssa -hnipar-.u,i -s-~-.~---------s rfIaae anohorusu- prohibition. and lat it be known that no drinking would be tolerated among the men and no liquor sold in the roadhouses. This little woman rose to the oc casion. and knowing she had the gov ernment behind her, on one occasion took a demijohn of whiskey from 25 men and emptied it in the lake near by. Later the construction boss apolo gized to her and admitted that she was right and that he would not ask her 1 to serve meals to him or any one else under the influence of liquor. His sense of justice was almost as re markable as the woman's courage. The men of Alaska will swing into line behind the bone dry" measure l says an old Nomeite.

RUSSIANS FAvOR R CONTINUANCE
 OF WAR
(By Associated Pressl

PETROGRAD, March 29. - The peasants throughout the country are systematically organizing the militia to replace the old police peasants, es- tablishing new local authority and convoking communal assemblies with the express intention of supporting the new government and selling the country's products for victualling the army and people. The idea of equal rights for women is gaining weight and a declaration in support of war was issued by a committee of work ingmen, soldiers and deputies, which apparently represents the sober con clusion which the masses of the popu- lation has reached.

(By United Press)

RIO DE JANEIRO, March 28. - There are twenty-eight German mer chantmen interned in this and other Brazilian ports today, which rumor has it would become raiders of American shipping in case of war between the United States and Germany.
 These ships total about 11O,0 ,000 tons and are valued at S4,000,0O0. Half of them are in this port and the others scattered about other Brazilian ports
 With two exceptions all these ships are at liberty to put to sea at any time. Ever since Brazil's protest 60 Germany over the submarine block. ade, attention has been focused on the German ships by persistent stories that several of the interned steamers were waiting a favorable moment to make their escape.
 Anchored in an open part of the bay we'll under the surveillance of the har- bor's forts and the Brazilian fleet, these fourteen ships foss-s5,s-I -Is..als.~.- and desolate group.
 Of the ships interned here the Sier- ra Salvada is the largest with 4,y51 tons net register. The others are the Edenberg, 2,7S2 tons; Cap Roca, g., 690 tons;; Coburg, 4,200 tons; Hohen staufen, 4,9S6 tons; Roland, 4.255 tons; Henrietta, 1920 tons; Alrich 4,265 tons, Carl Woerman, 3,490 tons Posen, 4,094 tons; Gertrude Woer man, 3,969 tons; Arnold Ansinck, 2, S96 tons; Etruria, 2.SS5 tons; and the Franklin, 3,223 tons.
 Besides these there were the Muan sa, 3,733 tons, which entered on Aug ust 19, 1914, but sailed few days later for Buenos Aires, and is at pre- sent interned in Chile and the Prus sia, which entered August 20, sailed for Santos five days later and did not arrive at that port for a month in spite of the fact that it is but a days trip An inquiry undertaken by port au | thorities for the purpose of finding the cause of this mysterious months dis appearance did not establish any defi | nite results. It's an easy guess, how ever, that the Prussia did not risl capture by British cruisers on a mere pleasure trip and that some raider ship benefited in supplies during hel | disappearance.
 Another ship that broke the mono tony of internment by venturing into | the open sea was the Edenberg, whicl after twenty days of lying idle sailed | for Santos, where she never arrived | One month later the Edenberg return ed calmly to Rio, dropped anchor ant landed the crew and passengers of tn, Indian Prince, which had been sunl

TOXIC, March 29. - Availing them. selves of what may be their last op. portunity to cross the Pacific until the end of the war, sixty subjects of the central powers took passage on the liner China, due at San Francisco. All but four boarded the vessel at Shanghai.
 Since early in the war Teuton tub jects have been able to leave China only aboard American steamers, and the possibility that the China might be the last American liner to leave Chinese ports before war between Ger many and the United States, and pos sibly war between China and Ger many, caused a record number of Ger mans, Austrians, Turks and Bulgar- ians to take passage at Shanghai.
