SWISS EXPECT
 GERMANS WILL,
 INVADE COUNTRY
Associated pIcss)

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-In the opinion of the general staff of the Swiss ! army the German military strate- gists are now planning another move on the checker board of war It consists of an attack on the French forces which now occupy Alsace by the Germans, who will, if their plans work out as the officers on the Swiss general staff seem to think, make the attack through Swift zeriand the advance thus constitut- ing an invasion of that country and consequent inevitable declaration of war on the part of the Swiss gov ernment against Germany.
 All of the Swiss newspapers of today had leading articles relative to the concentrating of German troops on the German side of the frontier in the vicinity of Basel, Switzerland. This is taken to mean, say the newspapers, commenting edi- torally, that Germany is preparing to advance on the French in Alsace at an early date.
 The Swiss general staff is mak- ing preparations to receive the in vading Germans should they come. In other words an order for the concentration of Swiss troops on the border at Basel has been issued, the government being determined to re- sist invasion with all of the forces and military equipment which can be brought to bear to oppose the expected invaders.

RoTTENNEss PERSONlFIED.

Fairbanks is not yet q very old town, but in her time she has gone through many and various periods of vice and crime. She has had her shooting affrays, murders and rape cases, all of which have been han dled or are being handled by the proper authorities; she has had her horse-whippings effigy burnings and public chastisements of other natures as punishment for real or fancied offenses, but she has never yet had a tar and feather party.
 That time, however, appears to be at hand and might be fitting man ner for the general public to get rid of one who has made himself a public nuisance; one who has col lected together enough lamp black and coal oil to make ink and who induces a few units of the public into reading or contributing to the support of the thing he calls a pa per. (Only God knows where he gets the paper on which he prints and where he secured the handful of type that he uses.) We refer to that personification of rottenness- that travesty on the name of news paper editor, known as George Hin ton Henry.
 We hold no brief for the Woman's s Civic Club of Fairbanks or for any other organization in the town of Fairbanks, but we cannot stand idly by and see the good names of wo- men attacked; women who are striv- ing to make Fairbanks better, cleaner place to live in. If the criticism came from reputable source 1t would be reprehensiDle enough, but when it comes from such a disreputable source as this Henry, it is time that halt was called. Not only that, but notice should be served on the thing that masculinity is unfortunate enough to have to claim, and reputable news paperdom forced to disown, that the mention of any woman's name by him, either for good or bad, Is some thing that no decent man is going to stand for any longer.
 Who is this George Hinton Henry that he should feel called upon to question the acts or remarks of any woman? What does he stand for except Henry and all the booze he can guzzle? He has no enemies He is not important enough, and is therefore beneath the contempt of even the lowest of human creatures. Even his associates-if he has any friends we don't know it-call him DIRTY" Dirty Henry!" That's his appellation, and 1t fits him in every specification; personal habits. desires, inclinations, so-called writing and reputation.

ADMIRAL DEWEY"

Admiral George Dewey. hero of Manila Bay" fought and won the first great American naval battle against a foreign foe since the War of 1872.
 His whole life was full of honor able achievement from the days of the Civil war down to the time when, as the head of the General Board, he began the last chapter of his work by laying plans for the defense of his country in time of war. His life was a striking ex- republication of the possibilities of a career based upon the exact and intelligent performance of every rou- tine duty which molds man on inflexible lines of duty and honor.
 One of the curious freaks of for tune in Dewey's case was that for perhaps the first and only time in his naval career he was disposed to protest against the edict of the naval department which carried him into the Far East, where he was des- tined to perform the greatest feat of his life and to win imperishable re- nown. That was back in 1898 when the war clouds were gathering and Dewey felt that he was being "shelved;" that the war with Spain was to be fought out in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Caribbean sea. and that he, distant by half the cir conference of the globe, would stand no chance of winning glory, for at that moment no thought whatever had been given to the Philippines. But he took his orders and like true sailor obeyed them. The result is a page of history under date of May l, 1898.
 Contrary to Spanish expectations. Dewey sailed into Manila Bay on the night of April 30 and in the morning of the next day he annihilat- ed Admiral Montojos squadron, de- stroying eleven warships and cap turing all other vessels and all the land batteries without the loss of q man on the American side.
 Upon his triumphant return to the United States he was feted by the nation. His admirers presented him with a beautiful home in the na- tional capital. Congress gave him an engraved sword. and raised him from the rank of commodore to rear-admiral and then to the full rank of the admiral of the navy.
 Admiral Dewey was the third Am erlcan to reach that pinnacle of naval rank. Farragut was the first and Porter the second. It was under Farragut that Dewey received his first baptism in war.
 Valuable as the training of Annapo- lis was, 1t was poor schooling be- side that of serving under Farragut in time of war;" Admiral Dewey once said. whenever I have been in a difficult situation or in the midst of such a confusion of details that the simple and right thing to do seems hazy l have often asked myself, What would Farragut dol? In the course of preparations for Manila Bay. I often asked myself this question, and I confess I was thinking of him the night we sn.

SHAM BATTLE
 PROVES VALUE
 OF AEROPLANES
Associated PresaI

'hN".Er++' #'hr ft ! if-7-#rf
 FIELD HEADQUARTERS AMERI- CAN PUNITIVE EXPEDITION, Mex. Jan. 1S.-Striking demonstrations of the value of aeroplancs in the last field maneuyers brought forth the declaration by Major General J. J. Pershing, commander of the expedi- tionary forces. that he would rather have an aeroplane than a regiment of cavalry for reconnaissance work. The admirable work of motor truck in transporting infantry to threat ened points also brought warm con- mendaton.
 The problem which the troops at field headquarters sought to solve and in which aeroplanes and trucks were used for the first time involved an attempt to ford the Casas Grande3 river at one of three points. These lords, three miles apart, were de tended by a regiment of infantry at war strength. a battery of field ar tillery, and a squadron of cavalry. The defenders also had the use of truck train of 27 cars. Each side had one aeropIane.
 Flying about 2.50O feet above the earth, a distance considered ample since the forces had no anti-aircraft guns, Capt. Davenport Johnson. for the defenders was able to follow the movements of the cavalry from the moment they left their base twelve miles from the river, to the point where squadron was detached to make feint at the south ford while the main body dashed toward the north passage. His work en- abled the commanding general to mass his infantry at tbe ford threat ened by using the motor trucks.
 The aero scout for the attackers, Capt. Maxwell Kirby had a more difficult task His objectiyes were screened by the trees along the river. Movements of troops also were more or less confused with those of organizations in headquar- ters camp. which backed the lords. In spite of this he was able to To- cate the artillery where it had been concealed under the trees and to fix definitely the points where the main bodies of infantry were posted.
 Both aviators were in the air four hours, with only a few landings to rest them. Messages were sent by means of parachutes and smoke bombs. The task of plotting an aero plane in puffy air observing and writing messages taxed the pilots to the utmost. At one time there was considerable excitement, for it was thought the airmen were stag ing a fight above the clouds The im- pression was the result of the close ness of the machines and the fact that both were firing smoke bombs

RILEY BOOSTS
 TO[STO| CAMP

SEWARD-J. E. George" Riley well known operator from Iditarod, | who has two dredges at work on Otter creek, Is here with a potato" | from the strike at TolStoi in the form of chunk of gold weighing ten ounces. It looks like a potato and Riley says he expects that the | boys over on Boob creek, in the Tolstoi, will unearth a few hills with larger ones during the winter, but so far this is the largest dis covered.
 "Tolstoi looks like winner" said Riley. Tt Is the most promising looking find since the location of Iditarod. Pay dirt has been located over an area ten miles long.
 Jim Pitcher and Ira Van Orsdale made the original discovery which led to the present activity.
 The center of excitement is on Boob creek, and it is well named, because holes were put down in the paystreak on discovery claim seven years ago. The men at that time found 10-cent pans, but were not satisfied and put off further work until another day. The D;5- kaket-Ophir trail crosses this same discovery claim and has been in use since 1909. The paystreak on Boob creek has been lined up for two miles and varies in width from 75 to 100 feet. It certainly did get the goats of the men who have been over that trail year after year to find that they had been crossing this paystreak for poorer pickings
 Holes have been put down on six creeks in the camp and pay de veloped running from 75 cents to $ per square foot of bedrock
 Riley says that the outlook in that particular section is assured by good seasons on the creeks near Iditarod and Flat and the activity around Tolstoi.
 Riley, who has operated in Idita- rod since 1909, is a guest at the hotel Seward and is enroute to aSn Francisco He says that the gold teams of the Wells Fargo are well on the way to Seward. These teams left Iditarod the same day Riley start ed, but are taking it easy. Hugh Dougherty, who is an old tillicum of Riley, has been showing him about and the operator says he Is convinced that this is a regular place, and expects to see work com mence on the branch of the govern ment railroad which will lead to Innoko before many more seasons have passed
 Its a good trail over this way" said Riley, but I must confess that little old five hundred miles in d Pullman is somewhat alluring."
