STRANDED CRAFT
 CAPSIZED BY TIDE

Anchorage, Oct. 9.-The power boat Kumbak, in command of Chas Nutter, which was scheduled to leave here last night for Turn again Arm points, sank as she was preparing to depart from Ship creek. At the time the launch had a capacity cargo aboard and many passengers, among whom were Judge Alfred S. Moore, Chas. E. Heron, D. B. Patterson and Deputy United States Marshal N. S. Ohlsson, of Girdwood.
 The cargo was lost but no injury was suffered by any of the pass engers,
 The Kumbak was moving out of the creek with full power when she nosed into the soft mud of the bank and was unabel to back off. The tide was running out fast and turned her upside down, filling her with water and destroying the cargo. The work of repairing is now under way and in all likeli- hood she will be back on her regu- lar run in a day or so.

SAYS WAR AIMS Of

cred the official German view OF
President Wilson's note to the Russian

semi -official NOrd Deutsche Allge-
meme Zeitung of Berlin and tele-
graphed abroad by the official German
news agency. 1t opens with reference
to the alleged changes which President
Wilson's attitude has passed through
and SAYS he has completely abandoned
his former assertion in now declaring
the United States entered the war to
free the world from attacks of auto
cracy.
According to his own early declara =
tions." the newspaper continues: THE
only ground for was was the endanger-
ing of American shipping by the un-
limited L boat campaign. Now when 1t
is a question of winning the patronage
of liberal Russia, it is absolutely made
quate: hence the big words that Amer :
lea went into the war to do away with
German autocracy. This is contra =
diction of facts and comes the more
strange from President Wilson's lips
when it is considered that in bringing
about the declaration of war he eher r
cised a decree of autocratic power, the
like of which was hardly permitted to
the late emperor of Russia.
In regard to President Wilson's
statement that the war might serve to
secure liberal institutions in Germany
itself the newspaper says:
Mr. Wilson has enough to do IN COM
batting plutocracy in his own country
and in taking care of the social ano
political position of the American
workers We reserve to ourselves the

Regarding the presidents accusations
about the weaving of a net of intrigue
aimed at the peace and freedom OF the
world, the newspaper says;
In the course of the past year, Mr.

sired to mediate for peace but coulo

NEW YORK, June 16.-With the
arrest today Of so anarchists and the
seizure of large quantities of anti
conscr1ption literature, federal author
tiles believed they had made material
progress in their efforts to stamp
out an active propaganda in this city
against compliance with the selective

The first step in the round up was
the arrest yesterday of Emma Gold

on charges of conspiring to prevent

to present petition to Mayor Mitchell
protesting against the state military

Later in the day the Germans We're

The British waited until they had
assembled in large numbers and then
turned a torrent of artillery fire upon
them, inflicting heavy losses. 1t was
not until Friday morning that the Ger
mans attempted another counter at
tack. And then they succeeded only in
taking a small outpost which had been
esta blished in front Of the newly won
positions.
On the Messines front comparative
quiet reigns, the Germans having fallen
back 10 a liRe running due north from
Warenton. oThis absolutely flattens the

mans established themselves in october
1914. and which completely protected
the curving Messines- -Wytschaete ridge
from which the enemy made life miser-
able in the low lying Ypres salient helc
by the British.
Artillery men, recently taken prison
er, say that many long range guns now
being used by the Germans have beer
taken from warships. One prisoner
said his guns were from the Kaiser
Rarbarossa while many others were
from the same class of ship. The feel

artillery is becoming more intense anC
