SECOND TRAGEDY ANNOUNCED
 NEAR INTANGIBLE IN 24 HRS.

Wrangell, March S-The body of an unidentified man was found by trappeTs today on Mitkoff island, fifteen miles from Wrangell. The body was lying on the beach frozen in q layer of ice three inches thick. Besides the corpse lay the dead body of a small dog and it is as- sumed that the dog refused to leave it's master, preferring death. The cause of the mans death is not known but in the hand was revolver and a rifle was sitting by q tree near by. One month ago trappers picked up an empty row. boat which was floating in the near where the body was discovered. Deputy Marshal H. J. Williams has gone after the re- mains and an inquest will be held tomorrow.
 This is the second tragic hap pening in the past twenty four hours. Yesterday Jack Meyers was drowned in Mill Lake. His body was recovered this afternoon and brought to Wrangell.

FIVE YEARS FIGHT
 LEFT IN GERMANY
So Says Official Report to
 Secretary Lansing,
PEOPLE BACK THE KAISER

All Germans Confident of Ultimate Vic
 tory-Food Supply Said to Be Suffi- cient-American Who Will Remain
 In Empire Number f,500-Special
 Care Given Children.
 The state department has just receiv- ed the first official report of conditions in Germany that has reached this gov ernment since relations were broken be- tween Washington and Berlin, says a Washington correspondent of the New York World.
 The report states that the people are confident of continuing the war until the Teuton armies win, and everything indicates that fighting may be cOntin- ued for at least five more years with out breaking the kaiser's organization.
 Reports circulated throughout the world that the people of Germany are willing to make peace at almost any cost are declared by the statement to be absurd. The people are absolutely behind the government. They believe that the German armies are victorious on every field and that they eventually will crush all their enemies.
 There is no foundation for reports that the people of Germany are sui fering great privatiOuS because of the shortage of food. Dclicacies are not in- dulged in, but every subject of the kal- ser Is getting three meals daily.
 The country is being managed under the most remarkable organization ever known in the history of the world.
 Care For Children.
 As an example the treatment of chil. dren and babies is cited in the report. Every baby in the empire gets enough miIk-and no mOre-tO supply its needs. Government inspectors and physicians keep a tab on the condition of every infant in the empire.
 The report shows that there are ap- proximately 1000 Americans in Ger many. Of this number 1,5&0 have lived in Germany for so many years that they are more German than American. They have gone into business with Ger mans and have intermarricd with Ger man families. The ties that bind them to Germany are stronger than the ties that bind them to the United States, and they will elect to remain where they are.
 The other 800 are visitors, travellers, representatives of American firms and persons who went to Germany for cures. They desire to return to ihe United States. Most of them are iinan- cialIy capable of caring fJr themselves and on the advice of conSulS they prob ably will go to neutral countries.
 The German government requires all aliens to present themselves to tue con- stituted authorities and remain under observation for two weeks before they are allowed to leave the country. Dur ing this period q full Investigation IS made Of the individuals. tho reasons for their presence in Germany and the reasons that prompt Ihcm to leave. This system is operated for the obvious purpose of guarding against the depar- ture of spies.

REAL WAR DOG WEARS MASK
Norman Lee, American Ambulance
Hero, Writes Interesting Letters
of Life at the Front-Luck
of Section Seven.

New York.-Eliot Norton of New
York city has received letter from
an American volunteer in France, Nor
man Lee, eighteen years old, son of
newspaper man, who has been driving
an American Red Cross ambulance for
the last nine months, and who has re-
ceived the Croix de Guerre. The let
ter follows:
"It's 2 a. m. I have just returned
from a trip and it's a good time to
write. While l attempt this two men
are busily engaged in piling up trench
torpedoes just outside of the 'dugout.'
1 call it a dugout-in reality it's only
cellar-but it serves it's purpose
keeps the 'eclats' from hitting you-Of
course, direct hit would be differ
ent thing. The Boches dropped few
gas shells over about midnight. Have
you ever heard a rattlesnake? Well,
a gas shell has the same effect. No
one has to tell you what it is, you
know. 1t just goes put and lets out
a greenish vapOr. That's enough
down in the dugout-put on your
masks and wait until the BOches are
finished. But it's a CHASTITY scene, one
candle burning, and every one sitting
around with masks On-the cat hugs
the fire while James, the medicine
dog, has his mask on, too-it's a spe-
cial one-and he knows enough not to
paw it off. He's a real war dog.
Official "Sniffer" Appointed.
During these sessions there is al
ways an official 'sniffer' appointed,
who has to lake off his mask, every
once in a while, go to the door and
see if the stuff is still around. The
other day we were in doubt, so we
threw the cat out. She lame back so
quickly that no one had any doubt
that it still was there. Oh! it bothers
me, the gas more than the shells. It's
a pretty rotten way to make war.

MARVELS WORKED BY EYE SURGEONS

face wounds in many cases are so
bad that no ophthalmic skill could
possibly save the sight. But here
plastic surgery, one Of the wonders
of the war, comes in to make the
victims face again presentable. Plas-
tic work goes further than the re-
making of shattered jaws and noses ;
the upper part of the face, including
the eye region, can be patched up so
as to make the poor wounded pre-
sentable and not objects of horror
to their fellow men,"
The records of the Grand Palais
hospital show that Doctor Borsch, who
was one of the first American sur
geOns to graft the cOrnea, has sue
cessfully transplanted skin, bone, car
tilage and mucous membrane to the
orbit. In several cases he has pro-
vided soldiers with new eyelids by
taking cartilage from the ribs, graft
ing it over the socket and afterwards
making an incisiOn in the new skin.

JAP WOMEN TAKE MEMS JOBS
Wages Range From Ten to Twenty
Five Cents a Day-Actresses
Best Paid.

Tokyo.-That japanese women con-
stantly are taking larger part in the
activities of the empire is shown by
recent Investigations. AS in Europe
so in Japan, women are filling posi-
tions formerly exclusively hel1 by
men.
There are 1000 women working un-
der the railway bureau, most of them
ticket sellers, cashiers and account
ants, and 5000 women find employ
ment in the cigar and cigarette fac
tories of the government tobacco mo-
nopoly. Their wages range from 10 to
25 cents a day. Male clerks in banks
and mercantile houses constantly are
being replaced by women, who receive
S. to $15 a month.
Actresses receive the highest wages
paid to women in Japan, but their
clothes are expensive, and so they are
financially in no better position than
the more humble workers.
