GERMAN LINES ARE HAMMERED
 BY AMERICANS
tAssociated Pressl

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Oct. 29.-(By Special Associated Press Wire)-Throughout the day the American bat teries have been steadily smelling the German positions, getting accustomed to the range and the handling ol their batteries. Observers from the French Dattalions stationed near these batteries state that shell after shell fir ed by the American gunners have landed squarcly ill the German lines. The marks manship of the Sammies is said to be excellent. The Ger man batteries are replying shell for shell, and the troops are rapidly becoming accus- toned to the din and bursting of shells over the trenches which they are occupying.
 American aViatOrs are soaring high above the enc my lines, while others direct the fire from the guns. All through the trenches of the Americans there is a spiIit of enthusiasm and desire 10 get at closer grips with the enemy. This sector, which has been one of the quictc,l of the entire battlefront l1r months, has taken on rcoer- ed life with the coming oi the American troops, and tie artillery duel is gradually growing stronger.
 Up to the present time there have been no casualties in the American forces. 'THe troops are we'll protected in their trenches, and until greater activity is begun ou'y an accidental shot can cau~e any losses to them.

RAIDERS TAKEN
 IN FIJI ISLANDS
(ASSOCiated frsSs)

(ASSOCldteO 1TeSS)
 A PACIFIC PORT, Oct. 29.-An American steamer arriving here to- day from the Orient brings a report that Count von Lucken, captain of the German raider Sea Adder and five other members of the crew have been captured The capture was made by native constabulary on one of the Fiji Islands on Septem- Der 21.
 This is thought by the officials to account for all the members of the famous German raider which created such havoc among commerce in the Southern Pacific ocean some months ago. The remainder of the crew were either captured by an Australi- an ship or were lost at the time the Sea Adder foundered near the Sa- moan Islands.

 LONDON, Oct, ?, A large sqaa- dron of German airplanes tonight at- tempted to raid the southeast coast of England. but were driven back before they could pass the outer defenses. Hundreds of airplanes met the invaders and, with the aid of anti-ajrcraft rapid firers, were abl, to defeat the enemy.
 Since the last raid by German forces the aerial defenses of England have been greatly increased and if is thought that it will no longer be possible for the enemy to drop bombs almost at will in any part of the empire.

FIRST GERMAN
 IS CAPTURED
 BY AMERICANS

A pa trol of infantry in No Nan's Land" encountered a lone German soldier, and when he attempted to escape fired on him, bringing him down and Wounding him SO severely that he later died in an Am erican field hospital.
 The German was a mail carrier with important letters which were taken over by the American commander and forwarded to French head quarters. Before the prison CT died, he declared that none of the German soldiers were aware that there were Am erican soldiers in France, and that they had been told that 1t would be months before an American army could be trained in readiness to sail for Europe and that the transports would be sunk by submarines. The entire Ger man army, he said, was ig- nOrant that there were any American soldiers on the fighting line.

MAN ALLEGED TOBE STACKER
 IS ARRESTED

Alex Sabanoff. young Russian is the second man arrested here on the charge of being a stacker H. was taken into custody Sunday night and placed in the federal jail.
 The reason given at the time of the arrest by the man was that he was not old enough to register. He is said to be twenty-four and claims to have only passed his twentieth birthday.
 Sabanoff is a Russian and has been employed during the summer months at claims on Little EIdorado He was released yesterday afternoon on $1,000 bail given by his friends The case will be tried Wednesday in the commissioners court before Com missioner Heilig.
 The local board of the city of Fair banks urges that every man do hi duty in trying to round up slaCkers A reward is offered to anyone pro ducing evidence that will lead tC the arrest of a stacker
 In a recent telegram received by all governors from the provost mar shal general he says:
 "A reward of $50 is payable for the delivery at the nearest army camp or post of a deserter. This re ward Is in full satisfaction of all expenses incurred in said delivery.
 "A person who fails to report to his local board for military service at the time specified in his order to report is a deserter.
 "A person who fails to report for military service to the adjutant gen eral of the state by the date speci- fled in the order of the adjutant general to said person is a dcseTter
 "It is highly desirable from eV- cry standpoint that an effort now be made to round up all persons who are delinquent in reporting for military service. It is thought that if the fact of reward is given the widest publicity we shall have d great force of police officers and even of individuals interested in bringing such delinquents under mill tary control
 If, after such persons are brought to a military authority, it appears to the military authority that their de linquency is not wilful they will be forwarded to mobilization camp and their local board will be given credit If it appears that the de lnquency was wilful they will be prosecuted before courtmartial as deserters In either case the re ward Is payable"

lAssncIatel IrtssL-

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 29.-It Is believed here in se1ni-otticial circles that the allies and America have their plans all laid for assist ing Italy should the German invasion of that country prove to be more than she can cope with. This belief is founded on reports re ceived from allied capitals throughout the world.
 Secretary of War Baker, in his review on the opera tions in Europe and the east during the past week, indi- cates that important develop mcnts are impending in the great war. He says in part: "ltaly is passing through a difficult moment at present with the Austrians pressing forward in advance with i'm posing forces. The Ameri- can troops in France are on the battle lines in order tC complete their training, which will be accomplished in . short time. We have not for gotten Italy, and are coming to her aid"
 BRITISH PREPARE,
 LONDON, Oct. 29.-(Of- hcial) )-" Steps have already been taken for rendering the fullest assistance to the Itali- ans" The above statement was bulletined tonight by the British war office in order to allay the uneasiness occasion ed by the rapid progress be ing made by the Austro-Ger- man advance into Italy.
 lust what these steps con sist of cannot be determined, as the war office is silent OH this point, and no plans will be divulged until after they have been put into execution. Speedy developments are ex- pected by all military experts, who find cause for serious thought in the present condi- tions along the Isonzo front.

 Juneau. Alaska. Oct 3, 1917. "A. R. Heilig, Fairbanks: Replying yours twenty-seyenth there is nothing to prevent regis trants from going Outside at this time.

Regulations perlait transfer of cases of men who may be drawn while Outside to local boards in States, but unless men keep in touch with your board they will be in danger of being returned as failing to respond to call of board and classed as deserters.

LABOR MAY BE
 DRAFTED SOON
 BY GOVERNMENT
lAssocIatea pressl

WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 29.-Unless the present labor shortage i'll vital indus tries is relieved immediately, the government may find It necessary to resort to the most drastic methods of con SCrlptlng wOrkmen, according to a statement issued tonight by government officials. This statement followed a meeting of the Emergency Fleet cor poratlon with the Atlantic coast shlpbuilderS at which were members of both the war and navy departments. The conference also cnpha- sized the great necessity Of speeding up all ship construc- ton in order that American transportation to Europe may be relieved.
 The shipbuilders, almost without exception, declared that they were working short handed and no induCement. either i'll wages or hours, had | produced the desired result of getting more WOrknen. Their plants are working far below capacity for this reason alone. Materials are plentiful, but men to convert 1t into the finished product are lacking. The navy officials also con- terred with labor leaders with a view of relieving the shortage in laborers, and were assured that all union workmen were thoroughly i'll accord with the government and would unhesitatingly sup port it. The navy officials then stated that unless the present shortage was relieved in a short time the govern ment would be compelled, ill order to protect its interests, to ,resort to conscription of labor.
 The officials state that there is no estimating the loss to the United States through the lack of competent work men. Plants which should be running day and night at top load are turning out far less than their capacity output, all on account of the lack of men to handle their machines. This is having serious eff feet on Anerica's war prepa- rations, and may set the al lied campaign back to a cer- tain degree.

 SEATTLE, Oct. 29.-Mayor Gill late this afternoon answered Genera. Greenes charges regarding vice con d-t.ons existing in Seattle and said. Tt is unfortunate that General Greene has allowed himself to be the tail of Doctor Matthew's political kite on the eve of municipal campa gn. He reiterated his former charge that Dr. Matthews is largely responsible for Greene's attitude and charges, al though both the general and Mat thews deny that he had anything to do with it, or that he gave Greene any information whatever.
 Gill also declared that General Greene is working in the interests of Tacoma against Seattle and ye- hemently declared that in case the soldiers at American Lake were re stricted from coming to Seattle, he would get some orders from Wash ington which would show General Greene a few things Gill, who at first declined to answer the charges of vice. states that it is nothing more than political dodge of his enc mics started in an effort to prevent his reelection as mayor.
 Sunday General Greene publicly charged that there is vice synd.- cate in existence in Seattle whicl is using 2,300 women for immoral purposes. He also declared that un- less these conditions are changed he will prohibit all American Lake soldiers from visiting this city. In response to similar statement made by the general recently, Mayor Gill, at that time, declared that Sc attle is no worse than any other large city in this respect, but prom ised to see that the city was cleaned up.
