NAME STATIONS
 FOR R.R. FRIENDS

Two new stations, Pittman and Houston, have been added to sched- ules of the U. s. railroad recently both on the main line beyond Wasilla Pittman was formerly Mile 166 and Houston Mile TIA, the crossing of the Little Susitna river. The change in designations was made necessary by the introduction of regular train ser vice.
 Both stations are named for con- gressmen who have been instrument tai in the development of Alaska and the government railroad. Senstor Key Putnam, of Nevada, for which Pitt man was named, formerly resided in Nome, where he was the first prose cutting attorney. Congressman Will liam c. Houston, of Tennessee, for which Houston was named, was chair man of the committee on territories and handled the Alaska railroad proJ- ect in the house.

MATANUSKA, July 24, (By MaiD. An engineering crew started Tues day morning to lay out road north of MatanuSka under direction of A. A. Shonbeck, who with George Wilson have in charge the territorial road funds of this division.
 This road will interSect the road from Palmer, on the branch line to Mile 26 on the Knik-Willow Creek wagon road" said Shonbeck. "The sur vey will only take a few days and when the line is run we will ask for bids for the construction of this seven miles of road which goes through the heart of the Wasilla valley.
 "ThiS valley is thickly settled with energetic farmers who are satisfied with all conditions with the exception of good wagon roads and this is what We are going to give them, at least as far as is within our power. We are working in conjunction with the Alas ka Road Commission and everything is working out for the best intersts of the farmers and mine operators. They are very we'll satisfied with the plan we have outlined and already have started a crew on necessary repair work"

PROGRESS ON
 MATANUSkA LINE

The contractors on the Matanuska Branch are approaching the comple- ton of their work. Camps 27 and 32 will likely be closed during the present month, and Camp 36 thirty days later. Schedin x Co. finished their contract during the period, and within a week Berg & Co.,, Erickson X Co.,, and possibly Martinovich x Co.,, will complete their assignments.
 The erosion at Hole-in-the- Wall has lessened considerably but not ceased entirely. So far the flood wa ters of the Matanuska river have done no serious damage.
 The Commission forces on the heavy rock work at Mile 33 have done very well and will complete their section within a week.
 Grading and Ballasting
 Steam Shovel No. 1, at Station TAO on the branch line, moved 6S52 yards of gravel, of which amount 576O yards were distributed between Eska Creek and Moose Creek, 2SS yards at Mile 144, ,64S yards on the Moose Creek sid ing, and 156 yards on the Eska Creek spur. Extreme high water in Eska Creek caused some damage to the track and interrupted service for two days.
 Bridge Building
 The framing of a 56-foot truss span for the temporary structure over the Chickaloon River was completed. The excavation for the pedestals for the roundhouse foundations was finished. Work was begun on the construction of radio station.

French Minister
Justifies Staying of
Dancer Who Spied

PARIS, Friday, Oct. 19.-The AS
sociated Press today asked Jules Cam
bon. general secretary to the ministry
of foreign affairs, If he had seen the
attempts of the German press to point
out similarities between the execu-
tions of Mata-Hari and Edith Cavell.
NJ. Cambon replied:
THE German audacity in daring to
compare Mata-Hari with Edith Va
veil surpasses belief. Miss Cavell was
a woman respectable and respected,
and devoted to charitable work. She
was shot for aiding Belgian soldiers
to escape to Holland. This, in Ger
man eyes, may be a crime, but not one
that endangered their army
-Mata-Hari was a courtesan. 1t was
proved that she was a spy and the
center of spying system. Her cor
respondence showed that she received
money from Berlin She herself ad
mitted that she was one of Germany s
chief spies in France, who used the
relations she had been able to make
by her mode of life. She merited nc
/ indulgence. No comparison is possi
BILE between charity and spying"

ors, made impossible, any attempt to
locate the U-boat. The heaviest loss
of life. 1t is thought, was among the
engine room and fire room crew.
Stunned or Iaaimed by the explosion,
that virtually broke the ship in two,
these men must have had but little
time to gain access to the deck with
its chance for life.
The absence of casualties among
the army and navy officers aboard is
attributed to the fact that their state
rooms lay along the decks from which
they could jump to the waters below
In hope Of being picked up.
It is believed that the attack was
made well out at sea, since it took
two days for news of the disaster to
reach Washington Survivors are
thought to be safe ashore in France
England or Ireland.
The loss of the Antilles marked the
frst impairment OF a transport ser
vice that has operated successfully
since Americas active entrance into
the war. Since the unsuccessful at
tack on the convoy of the first con
| tingent, large numbers of troops and
vast quantities of supplies had beer
| forwarded overseas with complete i'm
munitv from the menace Of underses
! warfare.

expressed today In official circles for
those who gallantly gave up their
lives, relief was general over the fact
that the vessel had met her fate while
homeward bound and not on the way
over with a large number Of troops
aboard Had the successful attack
been delivered while the Antilles was
on her trip to France, the loss of
life probably would have been ap-
palling. She was hit in a vital spot
and plunged below so swiftly that
but comparatively few could have sur
yived.
Interest is intense in the manner
the submarine managed to elude the
protecting convoy and discharge the
torpedo that hurtled directly in to the
bowels of the vessel. Naval officers
are of the opinion that the German
commander lurked beneath the sur
face till the moving destroyers passed
overhead, and then waited for the big
troopship to come into easy range be
fore releasing the deadly missiles.
Down In Few Minutes
1t is inferred from the admiraps re

few minutes. This fact, coupled with
the necessity of rescuing the surviv

FUEL Chief
TO GIVE COAL
TOHOUSEHOLD
USERS FIRST
Woollen Sees Early Relief
for Indiana Consumers
Domestic Cases Are Up
Earliest.
OFFICE IS OPENED

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 90 = The
needs of the domestic consumers of
coal will be given attention first by
the fuel administration of Indiana.
Evans Woollen, the coal admtnistra-
tor said today.
He announced offices had been
opened in the federal building and he
and assistants are already engaged in
trying to provide coal for the most
urgent cases called to his attention.
The approach of colder weather en-
phasizes the need Of fuel for the do
mestic consumer, Mr.. Woollen said,
and for that reason:
"Our first efforts will be directed to
that part of the consuming public. We
feel that our first duty will be to get
more coal moving into domestic chan,
nels and this work will be done at
once. There will be no announce,
ment of the general policy to be fol
lowed in this state until after a con
ference with national fuel administra
tor Garfield in Washington next Fri
day"
Sees Relief Soon.
Discussing the situation in the state
Mr.. Woollen said the preliminary re
port he has received since he became
fuel administrator indicates an fmpor
tant amount of relief can be given the
domestic consumer without disturbing
the large industrial supplies and thai
by the end of next week he believed
good progress will be made along thai
line Reports indicate enough Goa
for immediate needs if carefully dis
trihuted, Mr. Woollen said.
The present plans are to send tht
domestic coal to the regular retail
dealers since the coal prices are fixed
and the dealers are equipped to han
die the fuel quickly at prices abou
the same as voluntary organization
might be able to do.
