BRITISH DEPLORE
RECENT SUCCESSFUL
GERMAN THRUST

London. July 12.-Official statements
furnish the only available details of the
German blow against the British front
in Belgium. Editorial comment and
expert criticism treat the incident as
disagreeable and troublesome. but with.
out great Importance intrinsically, and
as unlikely 10 have any effect on the
future of the war.
II is assumed that owing to the gale
on the Belgian coast British navy sup
port was impossible temporarily, while
the Germans were in a particularly sa-
vorable position for such a coup. owing
to their formidable coast batteries all
along the dunes. which they can move
with comparative ease from one point
to another.
One comment is that II appears the
mishap was preceded by local display
Of superiority in the air, suggesting
that the British are suffering from IA

CLOTHES IN SARDINIA.
One Place Where Women Don't Have
 to Bother About New Styles.

Just as the girls of the various towns and provinces of Holland are to be distinguished by the peculiar form of their quaint headdresses, so the girls of Sardinian villages are known by the combination of colors in their costumes. The women and children dress alike - full skirts, usually dark red; white waists with full sleeves and short bright red or bright blue jackets, open in front or laced around the waist. In some districts the pattern of the apron is the distinctive feature.
 The styles never change among the women of Sardinia, who wear the native costume; so it repays the seamstress, the weaver and the em- broidery expert to make garments that will last a lifetime and can then be handed down as heirlooms for rising generations.
 Large white sleeves beneath the slashed sleeves of his jacket, full, short, bright colored skirt and close fitting white trousers tucked into high boots or leggings constitute the typical attire of the men. In some districts of the island the men wear pointed cap resembling a Phrygian bonnet, long and mar row like stocking, reaching almost to the waist. This point either is worn down over the shoulders or folded on top of the head and may be used as pillow at night. It is apt to contain anything from bread to snuff, which is indispensable to the older men. A queer custom of some of the younger men is to let the hair on top of their heads grow often to fifteen inches in length and then roll it up into puff, which looks like pompadour, across the forehead.
 A glimpse of group of Sardinian shepherds, clad in their shaggy sheepskin mantles, which are sup posed to ward off fevers, is enough to send a shudder down the spine of stranger who has feasted upon the out of date tales of bandit rid den Sardinia, but the natives are harmless, and in spite of their bit ter fight against heavy taxes and the relatively high cost of living they never annoy the tourists by beg ging, as do so many of the people of southern Italy.-National Geo. graphic Magazine.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1917-01-11
A NEW ALASKA

Hidden away in the more intense ly interesting news dispatches tell ing of the results of the election there was on Wednesday a brief story from Alaska that is striking ly significant of what may be ex- pected in that country.
 Briefly, the story was to the et- feet that several hundred home- steaders have arrived and settled in the section of country through which the United States govern ment is building its railroad; that these settlers are prosperlng, and that indications favor a rapid in crease of this class of newcomers.
 Think of that Homesteaders gong to Alaska instead of gold hunters. It opens an entirely new conception of that country. It means that instead of stripping an unwilling land of its sole wealth and then abandoning it, men are finding that there is continuous wealth in the agricultural possibil- ities of the country, and are going there to cultivate it and make it a continuously richer and more pros- porous. It hives notion of a new Alaska of vastly different style from that of former days.
 Perhaps, too, there is another significance in this movement. Perhaps it is an indication that men are net today as insanely anxious for sudden wealth as they were in the '49 and Yukon days, but are better satisfied to "be in- dustrious and prosperous with cer- tainty, without taking the risks and undergoing the hardships of the usually disappointed gold hunt CT. Perhaps.
 Alaska has yielded up many millions in gold; now it may begin to yield even more millions in even more valuable products.-Duluth Herald.
