0n.VaSt Front With Ex-

Canadian Army Headquarters in
France, Aug. l6.-(By Canadian
Press, Ltd.)-The taking of Hill 20
yesterday stirred the German higher
command as nothing else has done
on this front this year. Prince Rup-
precht has made frantic efforts to
recapture the lost positions and a
grim battle was waged throughout
the day, particularly on Hill 70.
Then times the enemy came on, but
they seldom got close enough for
fighting with bayonet or bomb. The
Prussian guards were subjected to
terrific concentrated fire from our
artillery and machine gums. Their
losses were frightful.

The guards proceeded toward Bois

The attack began at 4:25 o'clock,
lust as the first streaks of dawn were
appearing. All night the British big
guns had been pouring steady
stream of high explosive shells into
the German positions, great detona-

the rapid cracking of machine gun

INSPECTOR OF MINES IS HERE
 FROM INTERIOR
Gold Output He Says for the Interior Will About Equal That of
 Last Year.

William Maloney, territorial mine inspector, who has been working through the interior and the Nome section all season, returned last night on the Admiral Evans and is at the Gastineau Hotel. He is ac- companied by Mrs. Maloney and son. Mr. Maloney said today that the mining business through the in terior had been rather quiet during summer on account of the high prices which have prevailed, and the shortage of laborers.
 However, the miners had plenty of water during the early part of the summer and the gold output this year will about equal last years. It may fall a little short. The Nome output for the first part of the present year slightly exceed ed last year, but owing to the early cold season, the operators look for the October output to fall be- low that of last year, when they had late open season."
 Mir. Maloney efpects to make his headquarters in Juneau during the winter while the mines of the Southeastern and Western coast are inspected and while he makes out his annual report

NO WAR TAX ON PARCELS POST
 SAYS BRADFORD
Postmaster Tells How the Christmas Mail for Soldiers Should Be
 Marked.

Through transformation received by The Empire it was stated some time ago that the new war revenue law would make a raise of A of a cent a pound on parcels post pack ages. This was a mistake, as no changes were made in the Parcels Post rates and all packages are be ing handled at the former rate of postage.
 Postmaster z. M. Bradford today received instructions regarding the mailing of postal Christmas pack ages destined for the soldiers on the French front The packages will all be delivered Christmas morn ing and the fullest cooperation of the public is invited to make that possible. All packages must be mail ed before November 18th, must be ner as to admit of easy inspection by the postoffice force, should be marked Christmas Mail" the com plete address of the person for whom it is intended, and the name and address of the sender.
 All mail should be addressed and marked plainly Regular Army, Ma tional Guard, or National Army, as the case may be, followed by the name of the man with his rank, company designation and regimental designation, together with the name of the camp where located

John T. Reed, deputy clerk of the Court has just received word of the narrow escape from death of his son, at present serving with American Ambulance Corps No. 5, on the French front, when their base hospital was bombed by the Ger mans recently Young Reed was thrown by the explosion of one of the bombs and the crystal of his watch was broken, but with the ex- ception of minor bruises, escaped un- hurt.

RESIDENT SAYS
 CONDITIONS NOT
 BAD AT TENAKEE
J. s. Brewer Says That Hot Springs Is An Orderly Little
 Town.

"The statement attributed to Mrs Ella Hart of Tenkee that blind pigs gambling and prostitution are ram pant at Tenakee and censuring the officials there is a gross exaggera tion of conditions" said J. $. Brew CT, clerk in the store of Ed. Shy der at that place.
 "Tenakee is orderly" continued Mr Brewer, there are no blind pigs and there has been no gambling there at all since l went there to live five or six months ago. United States Commission Cragin and Dep uty Marshal Egan are both trying to do their duty. Egan has been particularly vigilant. and watches things very closely. In fact he has been so vigllant in boarding all boats that stop at the place and in watch ing the people, the residents and those who come and go that he has been criticised rather for se- verity than anything else"
 Tanner Will Investigate
 Marshal J. M. Tanner said this morning that Mrs. Hart had made complaint to him concerning condi- tions at Tenakee, and that the mat ter will be closely investigated.
 "Of course" said Mir. Tanner, there is no law against a man purchasing liquor and having it shipped to him at Tenakee, or any where else. in Alaska, and as long as whiskey is secured, that man becomes intoxicated, there is not evidence in itself of wrongdoing."
 Woman's Club Not Concerned
 An official of the Juneau Wo- mans Club said today that that or ganiZation has no intention of start ing house cleaning" campaign at Tenakee That is aside from our work" she said. We have done nothing there, and do not expect to start anything"

EVERY HOME
 EXPECTED TO
 COME ACROSS
If the Americans Do Not the Kaiser Will Says
 Food Publicity
 Expert. FRIDAY THE BIG DRIVE

Every household should come Kaiser will, said the expert of the Juneau Food Conservation to- day.
 Friday is the great day set for the big food drive to be handled in Juneau. A cablegram has been received by Royal A. Gunnison, chairman of the general committee, authorizing the campaign in Ju- neau, beginning Nov End. Every housewife should be impressed with the fact that the hour of danger is upon us and that she can help by pledging herself to the support of the United States food conservation board in saving of wheat, sugar, fats and meat.
 We must not delude ourselves that our task in this war is simple. Germanys army today is larger than eyer, and she is even now planning new terrors-new sub marines appearing in fleets and air craft in fiocks. The German people might be willing to stop, but those who rule them will fight to the death. They are fighting, not for life, but mastery over millions, for amending glory even though that glory be dark red with treachery and murder.
 "The test of loyalty will come to the Juneau housewife on next Fri day afternoon at 230."

NOTICE
To Our Customers.

We wish to make the following explanation: The excellent coal which we have been able to deliver for the past years. at so low a cost, has been largely due to the fact, that our percentage of lump coal has run from 75 to S5 per cent, while at the present time we find our percentage of lump coal to run only 35 to 50 per cent. For this reason we are obliged to make ef- fective at once, the following prices on screened coal This, however, we do not consider an advance in the price of coal, but a condition that we must necessarily meet as we wish to particularly call your at tention to the fact that the price of mine run coal is not being raised at this time

EMBARGO REMOVAL
BOON TO commerce
Will Permit Export Of $700,000,.
900 in Merchandise Annually

New York, Oct. 9.-The removal OF
the export embargo from a long list
of articles If sent to countries other
than the European Neutrals and Cen
trail Powers, will permit the exporta-
ton without license of approximately
$70O,000,00O worth of merchandise
per annum. An analysis by the Ma
tfonal City bank Of New York of the
list of articles from which the ban is
thus removed indicates that they ag-
gregate approximately 750,0OO,OOO
in value in the exports of the fiscal
year 1917, and that only about 5
per cent of them went to the Euro
pean countries to which their ex-
portation is still restricted.
The official announcement by the
Exports Administrative Board of the
merchandise which may be exported
without license if sent to countries
other than Norway, Sweden, Den
mark, Netherlands, Spain, Switzer-
land, Greece, and the area controlled
by the Central Powers enumerates
about 500 articles which are thus
freed from the general embargo. No
exact figures as to the aggregate ex-
port value of these 900 articles can
be made by reason of the fact that
many of them are not named in the
governments published figures of ex-
portation, but a compilation of the
value of all articles in this list of
which the export values are officially
stated brings this known total for the
fiscal year 1917 to over $7OO,OOO,OOO
while it is probable that the hundreds
of articles enumerated by the board
but not named in the governments
published reports will easily bring the
total to $75O.O0O.000 and that fully
$700.000,000 went to countries other
than those to which the expectation
is still prohibited.
The more important Of the articles
which the exports administrative
board has thus removed from the
general embargo, includes automo-
biles, steel bars, steel rails, locomo-
tives, railway cars, wire, nails, iron
pipe, sheets and plates under 1-8
inch thickness, typewriters, sewing
machines and many other manufac-
lures Of iron and steel, also agricul-
tural implements, paper, paraffin,
tobacco, vegetables dried and canned
fruits. cereal preparations for table
food, toys, books, and numerous other
articles.
