In the proposed plan for redistri-
button Of minor league territory,
which was voted down, 9 to 2, the
great majority Of the humber circuits
saw the possibility Of light ahead.
With this hope gone, there seems
little to be done in their case but to
close shop during the period of the
war at least.
These little minor leagues believed
with the two major leagues and
! certain few others of higher classified
tion that territorial retrenchment was
absolutely necessary for the life Of
minor league baseball as a whole I'm
fortunately, they lacked proper repre-
sentation on the national board to
force respect for their wishes.

 fered to give the ten there and then
 but as the Progressive-Miner was not authorized to take any subscriptions, the money was refused. It was ex- plained to him, however, that the com mittee had not felt disposed to call on everybody. That a certain limit h"d been put the amount desired for the reason that there were other good causes to which everybody will be asked to contribute, and that there was such thing as imposing on the good will Of Ketchikan's generous citizens.

JOHN STEWART
 FREEZES TO DEATH

The Juneau Empire of the 11th re- ports the death of John Stewart in the following:
 The body of John Stewart, an em- ployee of the Perseverance mine was found early this morning nearly GOV cred with snow on the Perseverance road near Shady Bend by the tool sharpener at the mine who was on his way up the road. Stewart had froz- en to death in the high wind which blew in the Basi all of last night.
 That Stewart had made a hard struggle for his life was shown by the numerous marks on his body where he had fallen going up the road. In at least a dozen places Stewart had fallen and at one time had crawled for several feet along the road. At the point where he fell the last time Stewart had been holding to shrubbery and rocks along the bank on the up- per side of the road and when he fell he fell against the bank and then crumpled into the road where he re- mained until death relieved him from suffering. Stewart was seen in town last night late and was at that time drinking heavily. When found two quart bottles of whiskey were beside the body.
 Immediately after finding the body of Stewart, Ed Caldo, watchman at the Ebner mine, was notified and he called George Oswell, superintendent

SUBMARINES NOW
 HAVE HARD TIME
Activity of Destroyer Conveys Is Producing Most Satisfactory
 Results

BASE OF THE AMERICAN FLO TILLA IN BRITISH WATERS, Dec.
 Diaries taken from captured U- boat commanders furnish documentary evidence that the destroyer is the destroyer is the most effective of pre- sent weapons against the submarine. Avoided destroyer is the oft-repeated entry. In fact, these logs show con clusively that the submarines are hay ing a hard time of it.
 The result of the destroyer activity during the last four weeks has been not only a decrease in casualties of merchant ships but also a still more satisfactory increase in the number Of submarines sunk.
 Conveying as an Offensive
 The conyoyin of merchantmen has now reached a stage almost of perfec- tion, after many months work in training both the officers of merchant ships and the personnel of the patrol fotillas. While systematic conveying was undertaken primarily as a defen- siye measure, it has now developed the best offensive measure devised against the U-boat.
 The offensive side of conveying may best be shown by an illustration: When a submarine tries to torpedo a conveyed ship-as submarines are now compelled to do owing to the infre- quency of unconvoyed shipping-there is always a destroyer on the scene, and the chances of the destroyer's s getting" that particular submarine are correspondingly increased. The wake of torpedo is generally seen by the destroyer's lokouts, and it gives a god line on the direction where the submarine is lying. The destroyer immediately steers course full speed in the line shown by the wake of the torpedo and drops repeated depth charges along this course.
 Surface Signs May Be Missing
 The correspondent was told of three cases in the last fortnight in which submarines were thus destroyed. In may instances, no doubt, submarine, are destroyed without visible indicat- ion above the water of their loss. Still others are badly crippled, as in the case of the damaged German U-boat which was recently interned in Spain
 Another submarine which will nev- CT return to Germany was sunk under peculiar circumstances a short time ago. This U-boat torpedoed ship bound from the United States. It is extremely unwise and unsafe to a fire a torpedo at such close range, but the U-boats must take their targets as they get them these days. The tor pedoed ship was loaded with a cargo of heavy war material through the deck of the ship and dropped it on the submarine as the latter was submerg- ing. The hull of the submarine was crushed like an eggshell and she sank with all on board.

WHY IS AMERICA AT WAR?

To those who are still wondering, honestly, Why is America at war;" he indictment of the Kaiser by Con- gressman George Edmond Foss, of the Tenth Illinois district, is a pretty com plete answer. He said:
 AS reward for our neutrality what have we received at the hands of William II?
 He has set the torch of incendiar- ism to our factories. our workshops, our ships and our wharves.
 "He has laid the bomb of the assas- sin in our intuition plants and the holds of our ships.
 He has sought to corrupt our man. hood with a selfish dream of peace when there is no peace.
 He has willfully butchered our cit izens on the high seas.
 He has destroyed our commerce.
 He seeks to terrorize us with his |devilish policy of frightfulness.
 He has violated every canon of in Iternational decency and set at naught every solemn treaty and every pre- cept of international law
 "Fe has plunged the world into the r12L- est orgy of blood, rapin and murd 1T which history records "He has intrigued against our peace at home and abroad
 "He seeks to destroy our civiliza- tion. Patience is no longer a virtue, further endurance is cowardice, sub mission to Prussian demands is sla- very"
