HAD MANY BATTLES
Moewe Had Fierce Clash With Armed
Steamer-Sank the st. Theodore.

London, March 31.-The fight
which the German raider Moewe had
with the British ship Ottaki was not
the only one of the cruise. A Reuter-
dispatch from Copenhagen says the
captain of the Norwegian. bark Staut
which was sunk by the st. Theodore
after it had been fitted out as raider
by the Moewe, states that while on
born fight with the armed British
steamer Governor. During the en-
gagement the second officer of the
Governor was killed and both arms
of a gunner named Huddoth were shot
off. The Governor, as previously re-
ported, eventually was sunk. After
the prisoners on St Theodore had
been transferred to the Moewe off
Rio Janeiro the vessel was sunk

New York. March 31.-The strong

Persons with incomes of more than
$1,000 per year has been Endorsed in
high government circles.
The greatest significance was placed
upon the sudden action of leading
pacitists because of belief that they
were in close communication with
Washington leaders. While they in
sisted they still hoped" for peace,
their actions indicated that the hope"
is practically dead.
The committee in its announcement
today pointed out that the heavy
death toll OF war will be upon the
working people of the country be-
cause of their greater numbers.

Partnership in Patriotism.
patriot wants the poor people of the
nation to bear the burden of the cost
of war, in addition to the burden of
fighting" said Pinchot today. Our
committee is not made up of peace at
amy price people and there is not one
connected with the movement who has
any German sympathy. Our proposal
is simply predicated on the nations
experience in past wars and is based
on the belief that in the event of war
there should be a genuine partnership
In patriotism between the working
people who will be asked to volunteer
their lives and the wealthy who will
be called upon to give their dollars.
The proposal may even furnish
more money than is needed to finance
the war Any surplus logically could
be used as a sinking fund for pensions.
An idea of what such an emer-
gency law could do can be seen in the

RESIGNS
AS DISTRICT
ATTORNEY Y
Left Valdez on Alameda For Georgia
Judge Munley Serving As District
Attorney

Information is received from Wash
ington to the effect that District At
torney Spence, of Valdez, has rendered
his resignation, upon request Of the
department of justice, to take effect
October l. 1t is also intimated that
his successor will be Judge w. H.
Munley, who is at present assistant
district attorney, with headquarters
at Anchorage. The latter is a per
sonal friend of Senator Chamberlain,
whose private secretary he was when
Chamberlain was governor of Oregon.
The direct cause of Spence's retire
mcut from office is due to the aggres-
sive fight made against that official
by the Democratic leaders of the ter
ritory, and his successor would have
been named some time ago but there
was some hitch in the selection. The
Democratic organization in the terri
tory had endorsed Attorney William
Holsheimer, of Juneau, for the posi-
ton, but Senator Chamberlain insist
ed that it be given to Judge NIunley.
A compromise was recently effected
whereby the Democrats of Alaska fell
into line and together with Delegate
Sulzer gave their endorsement to
Munley, and he will undoubtedly re-
ceive the plum, thus ending long
political battle in which Spence is cast
into the discard.
Judge Munley is an attorney of con
siderable ability an able but just
prosecutor, a most aa'able and like
able man, and his appointment as dis
trict attorney will undoubtedly meet
with general approval
