TUG ROSCOE FAILS TO REACH
 ANCHORAGE

After bucking head winds in Cook inlet until her water and fuel supply was depleted the Tug L. Roscoe, "hich attempted to reach Anchorage with d cargo of coal oil, gasoline and powder, returned here last night. The cargo was left at SeIdoyia.
 Capt. Peterson in discussing the trip this morning said that he made no attempt to go north from Seldovia as it had taken 50 long to get that far that he lacked water to complete the trip, had it been possible.
 Northwest and southeast gales al telnated with such force that it took the Roscoe three days to get to ScI- dovia, and then she only reached DOT, with great difficulty. After entering the inlet she iced up forward and was in danger of swamping several times.
 Capt. Peterson made no refer. to any particular hardship on the trip other tha nto say it was impossible to go on.
 "We were here during the taaw on inlet and by the time we reached the lower waters the thaw was over and it was blowing a zero gale" said he.
 Members of the crew tell weird tales of nights and days of thawinE dynamic below decks and the nitro giycerine running out of the powde" that was stacked nearest the engine room. When the water run short or the return trip an attempt was made to back up alongside a sheltered cliff in an inlet on the south coast of the peninsula to renew the supply from a stream which was pouring down the rock.
 At Seldovia the residents stated that the winter mail carriers from Homer to Kenai reported ice off the beach north of Anchor point, and the aneS were opening and closing with the shift of the wind but navigation of the inlet was out of the question.
 Recent papers from Anchorage in- dicate that the coal oil supply is so small now that merchants who have any are selling it only bottle full at time, and only one bottle to the customer.
 Concerning the light plant which is now in operation the Anchorage Times says:
 Superintendent Mcfarland is do- ing efficient work on the electric light lines and each day sees additional buildings supplied with electricity from the governemnt plant"

KAISER LOSES PLACE

With the recent capture of Bagdad bv the British, the Kaisers mind must go back to the time, 19 years ago, when he journeyed to the sacred places in Palestine, and, in one or ms most heroic speeches, proclaimed him self the friend of the Sultan and the protector of the Mohammedan faith. Back of this grandiose speech lay his ambition of a tplace in the sum-" the scheme that has caused the present worldwide disaster. The two chief places of his new Caesarian empire were to be Hamburg and Bagdad. tAIl that huge area lying between, Ger many, Austria Hungary, the Balkans, Turkey, Asia Minor, the Persian Gulf, was to be the new great world state, the state which, under the Hohenzol-
 lerns, was to shape the destinies of mankind for centuries to come.
 But the Allies, alive to this scheme,
 refused the tempting bait In stating their terms to President Wilson, they stipulated, as essential consequences of the war, free Serbia and an ex- tinguished Turkey. And now British arms are making good these preten- tions. Bagdad is now a British city and Russian and British armies

 Pat Powers, one of the Newark Fed magnates, was afraid he would have to do that little thing, when a bril- liant idea became lodged in his dome, and he said: Very we'll, if I have to pay you, you will have to work for the pay, so report at the ball park every morning and work out there every day. If you don't work, you don't get paid. see?'' Mills did see, and every day during that season he reported, batted fungoes to himself, ran bases with great abandon. slid, bunted and was the leader in evedy department of the game in the Mills league, which consisted of one one- man team.

Tyler and Gowdy Are
 Only Players of 1910
 Braves On Club Yet

.s The viccisitudes of baseball are well known. The annals of the game show that hardly ever has team re- fnained the same for two successive seasons. A striking example of this change-of the makeup are the Bos- ton Braves. Not one player is left on that team who was playing with the club in 1910. The veteran of the team is Tyler and Hank Gowdy is the second, oldest member. He was traded to the Boston club in 1911. Hank has had the unusual experience of having been sent back. to the min ors and. then having been recalled to the big league.

Holke started out this season where he left off last year-that is at the top of the heap. His stick work so far has been phenominal and John McGraw has certainly struck a rich find in his new first baseman, and he knows it.
 The beauty of it all Is that Holke hits hard when hits are needed most He seems to be at his best when the bases are full. As pill pelter Holke is there, and no doubt about it.
