Bombardment by the British artil-
lery of the German lines in the Ypres
sector in Flanders continued most in
tense, but there has been no infantry
movement in force. An attack on a
larger scale than the usual daily raids
probably is imminent.
Berlin apparently is much exercised
over the ever-increasing volume of
shells from the British big guns. From
the Houlthost wood, northeast of
Ypres to the river Lys, on the Belgo-
French border, Berlin reports the Brit
ish fire has been destructive. Field
Marshal Haig's artillery increased its
volume of shots to drum fire several
times.
Raid German Defenses.
At several points from the Aisne
valley to Lorraine the French have
made raids into the German defenses.
Here, too, the expenditure of ammuni-
ton is great. especially on the Aisne
front and northeast of Verdun.
The Italians have been more active
on the Trentino front, harassing the
enemy with raids and strong artillery
fire. In forward movement near
Carzano, in the Sugana valley, east of

oners Austro- Hungarian attacks on
the Bainsizza plateau continue but
General Cadorna's men have held
them for no gains.
Rumanian Offensive Continues.
The Rumanians continue their Of
fensive in the mountain region north
west Of Fokshani. Moldavia. Attack
ing tne Austro- German deIenses south
OF Grozechti, near Ocna, the Ruman-
ians captured a height. Berlin re-
ports that the Rumanians, at first sue
cessful, were driven from the posi-
tions, suffering casualties and losing
prisoners.
The smallest number of British ves-
sells of more than 1000 tons sunk
in one week since last February is
shown in the weekly statement from
the British admiralty which reports
the loss of eight of the large size.
There is a decided increase, however,
in the smaller sized ships, twenty of
these being lost through mines or sub
marines.
The American steamer Platuria of
S,445 tons, owned by the Standard Oil
company, has been torpedoed with the
loss of her master and eight members
of the crew. The sinking of two Ger
man submarines is reported unof-
ficially from Norway.

Washington, Sept. 19.--News that
the Argentine senate had voted over
whelmingly to sever diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany was received In
Washington tonight with qualification
and no little surprise.
Officials had recognized that recent
disclosures concerning cablegrams
sent to Berlin by the German minis
ter at Buenos Aires through the Swed-
ish foreign office had aggravated the
situation brought about by Germanys
sinking of Argentine ships, but it had
been assumed that, with the German
minister handed his passports, no fur
ther official action would be taken
pending receipts of Berlin's explana-
ton of the messages.

Immediately after the supreme court held the Adamson eight hour railroad law constitutional last March, Ameri- can railroads arnounced they would need an advance ot 10 per cent in freight rates to meet the increase in employees wages. Shippers and farmers organizations thereupon launched the biggest fight in the inter- state commerce sontaission's history. The requested inaraaso was the largs est aver aabcd ! railroads at one time in the commission's> existence The railroads cited the war and the cost of raw materials as ssl- ditional reasons for the advance in rates. Hearings on ex parte 57, as the case is docketed, began May in Washington.
 For four days the carriers presented evidence in support of their request. Then rest was taken until May 23. to permit the shippers to prepare tes- timony and rebuttal for presentation and to plan cross-examination of the railroad representatives. The ship pers' and farmers organization were heard by the commission in daily ses- sions from May 23 to June 8. The car riers' lawyers on cross-examination further advanced their claims to hun dreds of millions of new revenue to offset increased cost of operation. War efficiency became the railroads new slogan in pressing their request.
 Three days were given over by the commission to oral arguments by the ablest railroad attorneys and shippers counsel in the country. Six thousand pages of testimony and hundreds of exhibits were piled up during the hear ings. Speeches on both sides bor dered on personal recrimination. The shippers charged the railroads with exaggerating increased costs and ne- glecting to consider increased gross revenues.
 The shippers declared they were 10th to pay increased dividends on "watered stock" The railroads re- piled with promise that the added revenues from the 15 per cent in crease would be devoted solely to meeting higher costs or would be put back in improvements so that the rail roads would be more efficient in war service.
 Lack of patriotism in making the re- quest for Is per cent in the midst of the war was alleged by the shippers.
 To this the railroad lawyers replied that farmers have been collecting an advance of 100 per cent on food pro ducts as a result of the war.

FORMER JUSTICE CALLED BY
 DEATH
lBY Associated Pressl

HAVERE. Hill, July 2, - William H. Moody, whose illness forced his re- tirement as associate justice of the su- preme court of the United States in 1910, died at his home last night Ardu- ous service, notably as head of the de- partment of justice during the anti trust campaign of the Roosevelt ad- ministration, and then four years on the supreme court bench, during which he was remarkably active, resulted in a nervous collapse, which, with 8 se- were attack of rheumatism, developed prolonged illness.
 MT. Moody was born on a farm in Newbury, Mass, December 23, 1853. After his graduation from Harvard college he studied law in the office of Richard H, Dana. author of Two Years Before the Mast" His skill as a public prosecutor, first shown when he was city solicitor of Haver- hill, Mass, won him the appointment as district attorney of Eessex county. When the attorney general of Massa- ehusetts was prevented by illness from representing the state in the famous Lizzie Borden murder trial, he selected Mir. Moody to take his place. His con. duct of the trial attracted wide atten- ton.
 Always interested in outdoor sports, Mir. Moody at one time was president of the New England Baseball League Until the several severe attacks of ills ness which marked the latter part of his public career, he found his chief recreation by walking. bicycling, horse riding and golf. The latter part ot his life was spent quietly at his home in Haverhill, Mass.

ATTEMPT DELAY B, R. WORK IS
 CHARGED

Sedition among federal employees and attempts to delay government pro- jects and incite ferment and disorder by disloyad persons is the startling condition pointed out by the Anchor age federal grand jury in its final re- port to Judge Brown.
 Concerning these charges the report says:
 investigation by us has revealed that there is an element in our midst, some of whom are earning their live Iihood from the government, who are disloyal to the government, opposed to the present war, who seek to ferment discontent and disorder, and who are trying to impede the prosecution of governmental projects and enter prises, and we therefore recommend that congress enact a law that will amend our present law on sedition and make it offense for any one who by word or deed tries to stir up strife, to arouse difficulties and disorder Tn our industrial conditions, interferes with or obstructs governmental enterprises and undertakings, and who in any manner strives to impede the govern ment in the prosecution of the war or in carrying out all governmental pro- 1ects."
 Another paragraph in the report be- sides the usual findings follows:
 We wish to call the courts atten- ton to the phenomenal growth of this section of the Third division, and ow- ing to the increased court business, the urgent necessity for a federal building suitable for court purposes at Anchorage"

BIG BALL GAM [ FUR TOMORROW
 AFTERNOON

The first of the series of three ball games between the Seward and Cor dova clubs did not take place this afternoon, as the visitors from the westward will not reach here until 9 o'clock tonight Five of their play CTS. however, arrived in Cordova on the steamer Alameda from Seattle. They are a likely looking lot of ball tossers, and have been playing semi professionally on the Pacific coast. Percy Chamberlain has pitched some good games, while NJ. Hemenway is an excellent catcher, with a strong wing. They will likely do the battery work for the Seward team in the opening game tomorrow afternoon. E. Me guire, shortstop, w. Coughlin, second baseman. and o. Beam, third base man, are the other imported acquisi- tions to the Seward team.
 Miller will occupy the box for Cor. dova and Ripley will handle his deliv. cry, with Conway playing first, Nourse second, Frederickson third. Mauseth short. Rogers, Truckee, Council, liar wood and Beebee fielders. Fillinger, Ontai, Bettles and King will be the other pitchers for the series
 The interest in the contests is be. coming acute, and both teams feel confident of victory. The Seattle players offered to bet s10O that Sew ard would win the first game, and this amount was covered. Cordovans feel confident the local team will win two out of the three games, and are willing to make bets accordingly.

Stringer is the professional orator of Alaska" for the Declaration of Independence, having recited it within the Arctic circle at Panama, on the mouth of the Panama river, at Fairbanks, at Chitina and Cordova. He puts life and vigor and inspiration int othe interpretation and instead of people turning away they sit up and take notice.
 "The Declaration of Independence" said Mir. Stringer, "is not only an Am erican classic, but it does have coun- terpart in the literature of the world Every American should learn it by heart. It breathes patriotism. It is all the more fitting that it should be made an important part of this years Fourth of July program, owing to our war with Germany" Juneau Elm pire.

 This action on the part of the gov ernment would also indicate that it does not intend to make a workable coal lease, but will operate the mines itself. The second claim that MT. Smith has been directed to work is about twenty-five miles off the line of the railroad. and to which a branch will likely be built.
