LARS BO MB PROOF NOW
 POPULAR

LONDON, Oct 22. - Bomb proofs in office buildings are the latest in London. Many of the largest office buildings are constructing "dugouts" like the American cyclone cellars to protect their employees during air raids. The usual dugout is a thick parapet of sand bags in the basement On the ground floor above bags of sand are piled up three or four feet high. At the first alarm the office forces are ordered to flee to the eel lar. Even if the building collapses the dugout would afford protection. In one big office building arrangements are made in the basement for the en- tire force of 800 employees with spe- cial emergency exits to the bomb proofs. Other buildings are shielding the elevator shafts to prevent bombs dropping into the basement and wreck ing the structure.

DISPOSE T|ON N OF PROPERTY WAR
 COUNTRIES
(By Associated Press)

. PARIS, Oct 22.-The obligatory de- ty. real or personal. belonging to them, and situated in countries at war with France, decreed recently, is ex- plained officially to be necessary to determine what measures should be taken by Germany, but with more French citizens in the enemy's terri tory and to negotiate with the allies as to concerted measures.
 This information will also be re- quired in peace negotiations, it is pointed out, to enable the govern ment to defend both public and private interests and safeguard an important part of the national wealth.
 Similar measures were long ago taken by German, but with more radical purpose in view - the actual confiscation of the property Of French subjects, according to the view held
 here. Retaliation has been advocated and even recommended by parliamen
 tary committees. The decree does no
 intimate that the government intend:
 to go that far. The main object i'
 to arrive at an approximate estimat, of the value of the pledges of thi'
 kind held by Germany, Austria, Tur
 key and Bulgaria.
 II The decree applies to property hel' by the Germans in occupied Frencl | territory. There are some necessar, exceptions arising from obvious diff culties of application.

MAYOR GRANTS BIRTHDAY IS
 CELEBRATED

A most enjoyable dance was given at the Wrangell hotel last night in honor of Mr. Grants birthday. The spacious sample room in which the dance was held was cr5wded. Every one seemed in just the right mood for dancing and the event was surely an en- joyable one. Upon solicitation Mir
 Pennycook responded with sever- al Scotch songs which received vociferous applause. The affair came to a close at midnight, the guests congratulating Mir. Grant upon having passed another milestone, and wis ing him a hundred years more of happiness.

SEATTLE, March 2S. Mayor Hi Gill today accused John Evans, a recently deposed newspaper man and his employer, (. B. Blethen, editor of the Times. of instigating the rumors which re- suited in his indictment. What started the investigation to find if he had accepted a bribe from Logan Bilingsley, a statement "faIser than hell ever thought of being" the mayor said, was the activity of Dr. Mark A. Mat thews. "Dr. Matthew's added the mayor, told me he got his information from Evans. and he had asked Evans to show his proof. Evans had said he must get evidence from Blethen, and wouI'i be back the next day. He never returned.'

GREAT BATTLE RACES WITH
 UTMOST FURY
Allies Are Making Ire, mendous Assault on
 Western Front

PARIS. March 2. Very heavy fighting is reported around St. Quentin. The French troops made an important advance against the town which is very strongly for titied. As the French closed in upon the enemey's lines they met with considerable resistance. Time and time again the Ger mans attempted to win back the positions taken from them by the French but all their attempts failed. The War Office reports the position embracing Castres and Essigny le Grand extending over a front of two and a half miles taken from the enemy. Heavy fighting has been in pro- gress in practically all sectors, with large German losses. The battle still rages with the utmost fury and the enemy is hard pressed. The French troops have also established a footing of the Soissons St. Quentin Highroad, by crossing the Ailette and cap- turing the salient at the apex. The French are fighting with re- doubled fury caused by the sight of the war ton and complete de- struction of the whole country vacated by the Germans. De- struction so Wanton. useless and unnecessary has never before been witnessed, and instead of hindering the advance of the Allies. has only raised their de- termination to completely oust the enemy.

NOTABLE TOURIST
 PARTY WILL VISIT
 WRANGELL IN JULY

The Seattle Chamber of Com merce has completed arrangements with the transportation companies for the handling of the official party of tourists who will make a tour of Alaska this summer in ob. servance of the Seml-Centennial oi the purchase of Allska. In tie party there will be a number of former residents of Alaska who will answer all questions of those of the party who have never Visited Mas ka before. In that way 1t Is be- liev ed that best results can be oh- tained.
 The itinerary adopted provides for the departure of the party from Seattle Jul V 7th, with arrival at Wrangell July 10, at about 9 a. m. departing about ? p. m.
 It is expected that Hon. Franklin k. Lane, Secretary of the Interior. will be the honor guest of the party. And the Seattle Chamber has not given up the hope that a special delegation of eighteen Senators and fifteen representatives will be m the party. It is expected sev- eral private yachts will accompany the party as far as Skagway. The party will cruise to the Westward as far as Anchorage, and returning to Skagway will go over the White Pass to- Whitehorse and from thence down tie Yukon, making a trip that will last IS days.
 Wrangell being the second stop in the itinerary, will have rare opportunity to let the prominent visiting delegation know that she is on the map. A large reception committee should be appointed, and some novel event should be staged for the benefit of the party. 1t will also be splendid opportu- nifty to outline the national and legislative needs of this particular section of Alaska.
 This matter will come up al the next meeting of the Wrangell Chamber of Commerce which should be largely attended.

CALVIN TELLS OF ACTIVITIES
 AT GR0UNDHOG

J. G. Calvin, president and manager of the Bon Alaska Mining company, was seen at the Wrangell hotel this week, and from him it was learned that everything pos sible is Icing done to get in readi- ness for the installation of machin- cry at the property of his company at Giound Hog just as soon as the weather will permit. The heavy fall ot snow late in the season has dalayed the work considerably, but work is now to begin in earnest.
 .A considerable quantity of ma chinery Is now on the ground, con. sistlng of an air compressor. tanks Pelton water wheel, 5000 feet of pipe. tWater will be used under an effective head of 800 feet.
 The Company has also freighted in large camping outfit sufficient to last at least until the first of Septeln Der. Just as soon as the weather will permit a large camp will be established on the beach at the mouth of Mill creek from which work on several undertakings will be directed at the same time. These will include sawmill, electric power plant, railroad, and a mill with a capacity to handle 100 tons of ore daily at the start. As soon as the power plant is installed a force of men will be put to work on wor rking tunnel. And before the summer IS over the Company will be making shipments of Galena ore.
 The preliminary work for the building of ten miles of railway was done last fall, and this work when taken up again will be pushed rapidly, The rails for the road were bought two months ago, and are ready for delivery. They will be shipped as soon as the Company dock is nearly enough completed to have the rails unloaded there. The cross-ties will be cut by the Comany's sawmill.
 All this activity right at Wran. gell's door means more for the town than is realized at this time. The camp is just starting, but the fact that within 60 days between 125 and I 50 men will be employed, is sufficient to indicate that Wrangell will be benefited from the start.
