CAPTAIN TELLS ABOUT WAR AND
 SOME DETAILS

MANCHESTER. England, Sept 20.-(Correspondence of the Asso ciated Press )-"There is no romance left in war; it is dirty business and every one of us who is in il is determined that when we finish this war. it shall be so thoroughly finished that nobody will ever start another"
 Thus writes a British transport captain in letter to his local news paper, describing how he had just lost twenty of his men, although they were nearly a dozen miles be- hind the front, through a shell from a German long-range naval gun if teen miles way. The shell was d chance shot. Here is the captains story:
 We have descended on war of stinkpots, sof spectacled chemists leering horribly in obscure labora- tories while they concoct the tor lures of the damned, of medieval poisons, of flying death from the clouds. It is less like war than some elemental deyilishness which man is as powerless to control as he was the volcanoes which over whelmed Pompeii or St. Pierre. It is not alone in the forefront of the battle where men stand face to face, but in quiet places far back, where death filings himself with outrageous violence and audiences. The dead men have never seen their foe; there has been no contest, no com. bat.
 "I witnessed an incident today the like of which I have seen before, the like of which is happening ev- cry day along these hundreds of niles of battle line It is as well you should hear of it who have a quiet roof over your heads, who wait plac- idly under your umbrellas at the street corner for your tram car.
 q was at cross roads, and a vast amount of traffic was moving by it, guns and wagons and panting motor lorries and officers on horse pack and ambulances. Far in front hung motionless in the air the long row of balloons that marked the circle of the front.
 "It endured perhaps but two sec onds before it precipitated that rightful tragedy towards which it was moving, but every second was m age. Every man who heard it ,eld his breath Now the whistle :hanged to a sudden plunging roar. \ quarter of ton was falling head long through space and yet invisi- ,le. rocking crash. and up from he road leaped volcano of black earth and smoke and stones. The whole air filled itself with shr.el, ng bits of metal, whirling scathes ,f dust, and choking fumes. Horses we're plunging, men cursing. Above III rang the screams of mortal az )ny.
 'I gazed with horror towards the ,pOt and saw a wagon lying with ts wheels up in the ditch, it's horses lying motionless nearby. In the grass 5y the roadside lay some inert fl gures of men whose absolute mo .ionless told it's own tales.
 "One though of the homes sud denly emptied far away, of mothers md wives and children that would wait in vain. And 1t has all been done by the unseen hand that had nst pulled string fifteen miles away"

The owners are residents of White horse and will probably take over the property again One of the reas- ons the lessees gave, MT. Pederson said. for throwing up the lease was that the mine was caving in in some places. Although the closing of the mine means throwing out of employ ment 40 people, and has been an important Skagway industry for years, MT. Pederson says there are plenty of other resources to keep Skagway going, the most important of which is farming.

THINK BURGLAR
IS A DESERTER
ImpoStor Posing As "GaS
Man" Enters East
Side Homes.

Investigation Is now under way 10
determine whether the man arrest
ed last night in the DeLorenzi home
is really a deserter from the British
army, or whether he has had any
previous criminal record. The man
gave his name as Joseph Glasby,
saying that he was an Englshman
and that he has lost one brother at
the front.
Residents Of that section OF the
city say that for several days past a
man, representing himself as an en-
ploye Of the gas company, has been
inspecting the meters and connec-
tons in the various homes there.
Gas company officials say that they
have had no man in that part of
town. and it is possible that this
man may have been the same one,
looking over the ground preparatory
10 attempting a burglary.
When accused of being a deserter,
Glasby said. DO whatever you want
with me. I'd rather die than go
back to the d British ARMY"
1t was this statement that started
the investigation. Glasby was ar
rested last night shortly after $50
by Patrolmen Parker, Miller and
O'Connell. When Mr.. DeLorenzl
returned home he heard someone
proving about and notified the po-
lice. Parker found the man in the
basement, hiding behind some boxes,
but a threat TO shoot brought him
out.
Several holes were bored in the
front door OF the home, but en-
trance had been gained through a
side window, which had been jim
mied open. A burglars kit a
searchlight. and $50 in money were
taken from Glasby when he was
searched.

PETROGRAD, July 23.-ln tel
egram to Premier Kerensky and the
Petrograd council Of workmen's
and soldiers delegates the general
staff of the armies on the Rouman-
ian front takes the position that the
disorders in PetrOgrad are acts
reasonable to the revolution and a
breach of faith toward the revolu-
tionary army Relying on the sup
port of the democracy of Russia,
the staff demands that the provis-
ional government and the council Of
workmen's and. soldiers delegates
take the most stringent measures,
including the employment OF armed
force, against the rebels. The tele-
gram adds:
I'VE declare we are ready to sup
port both the government and the
council iE every way and TO EN- =
ploy armed force if necessary"

proclamation, considers it indispen-
sible Immediately to proceed with a
series of measures putting the prin-
ciples announced on May 10 into OPP
Grafton and adheres to the steps al
ready taken TO convene constituent
assembly on Sept. 80. The speed
lest introduction OF autonomy for
municipalities and zemstvos based
on direct, equal, secret, universal
suffrage and the extension Of this
principle to the entire country is
the governments chief problem in
internal policy.
"Attributing at the same time
particular importance TO the crea-
ton Of local executive bodies en-
joying the confidence Of the entire
population, the government will
forthwith proceed with the organ

RAILROAD CLAIMS
FREIGHT RIGHTS
South Shore Attorney Says
Franchise Permits Haul
ing Goods.

After hearing the arguments on
both sides in the South Shore freight
controversy, and after the attor-
neys agreed 10 file memoranda on
both complaint and answer. Judge
Hammerschmidt Monday morning
continued the case one week
According 10 r. J. Lewis. the at
torney for the railroad. the original
franchise granted by the city in
1903 gave the company the right TO
haul freight and therefore the new
ordinance which prohibits such
hauling on certain streets is void.
City Atty. r. F. Seebirt. asserts that
the franchise ordinance in question,
No. 1914, does not give any such
right. Subsequent ordinances were
also cited, especially one passed
about two months ago. in which a
freight depot was provided for the
South Shore line. This seems TO
show that freight was allowed un-
der the old franchise, although the
city contends that freight could be
hauled only as far east as Birdsell
ST.
The question OF the right of the
defendants TO operate an electric
engine over Colfax and Lasalle avs.
was also discussed. The terms of
the franchise originally granted
give the right TO use electricity as
prOpelling power when the motor
or engine is built in as a part of
some baggage, express. or passen-
ger car. but do not allow the use of
any motor which is built as a sep
arate car, according to the city at
torney.
The case will be decided, in all
probability, next Monday, although
it is probable that an appeal 10 "A
