Philippine WAR
HERO, DIES SUDDENLY.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, Feb. o.
Major General Frederick Funston,
commanding the Southern Department
of the United States Army, and one
Of the leading figures i'm the country's
military history since his capture of
Aguinaldo, while commanding a Kan
sas volunteer regiment in the Philip
pines, died of acute indigestion Mon
DAY night.
He collapsed in a hotel soon after
dining with friends and did not regain
consciousness before his death, a
short time afterward.
General Funston was at his Office
Monday, with no sign of ill health.
During dinner he seemed in his usual
good spirits, and after the meal be-
gan to play with a child of one of the
guests. He fell over unconscious be-
fore any one could reach him.
General Funston was 81 years old
/ Ever since March, 1916, when he
was placed in command of all United
! States forces on the Mexican border,
General Funston had worked unusually
hard. At critical times in border de-
velopmentS he frequently remained on
duty continuously for "a hours.
| While Colonel of the famous Tween.
tieth Kansas Volunteer Infantry in the
Philippine War, Funston performed
feats of bravery that brought him the
title of Brigadier General. His capt
ure of Auginaldo and his fording the
Rio Grande River at Columpit under
| fire featured his work.
| General Funston has been described
by his superiOrs as absolutely fear.
less. Ever ready to plunge into dan
ger, he cared little whether his force
equaled that of his opponent.
1t was while he was in command
of the troops at Vera Cruz in 1914
that he was raised 10 the rank OF
Major General. He was then 40 years
old.
/ Physically, Gen. Funston was one o;
the smallest men in the United States
Army. He was barely 5 feet and
inches tall and usually weighed less
than 120 pounds. In civil life he was
modest and retiring.
! Gen. FunstOn's administration of af
fairs in Vera Cruz, where he carried
out the Presidents orders with firm
hand, simply holding the city when
every influence about him was centercd
upon forcing the American Army into
actual fighting with the Mexicans
probably was the most notable service
of his career.

UNITED STATES SENATE
PASSES THE "SPY BILL"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The ad-
ministration espionage bill providing
severe penalties for spying on matters
of national defense and furnishing cor
spiracise to violate American neutral
ity was passed by the Senate by
vote of so to 10.
That there are 100000 spies in the
United States was stated by Senator
Overman, of North Carolina, Monday,
during debate on the espionage bill
pending in the Senate. He failed TO
name his informant.
Opposing amendments by Senator
Cummins to temper some of the strin-
gent provisions of the espionage bill,
Senator Overman made the assertion,
and declared further it was absolutely
essential that drastic laws be enacted
to protect naval stations, submarine
bases and other national detenses.
Senator Overman, as member Of the
Judiciary Committee in charge Of the
bill, has been in close touch with the
Department of Justice. which drafted
the measure.

TICKETS FOR THE
 RED CROSS DANCE
 ARE GOING GOOD

The sale of tickets for the Red Cross dance to be given in the A. B. Hall, May 18th. continues satis- factory. If the sale can be taken as an estimate, the largest crowd that ever assembled at any one social function on Gastineau Channel will be recorded.
 The committee in charge is doing everything possible to make the guests of the evening comfortable and insure them a good time. A special ferry has been secured to handle the large crowds expected from Douglas. Treadwell and Thane. The Alma will leave Juneau at 12:30 o'clock on a special trip to the other channel cities.

ID!TAR0D MAN
 MUSHES OUT TO
 ENLIST IN ARMY
No Recruiting Station in Alaska He Continues to the States so He Can
 Join with Fighters

A splendid example of patriotism Is exemplified in the stalwart per son of A. A. Willis, a passenger last night southbound on the Mariposa, who mushed from the Iditarod over the trail to Anchorage to enlist. Upon arrival at Anchorage he was informed that recruiting stations had not yet been established in Alaska, and he continued his journey to the States.
 As soon as the declaration of war reached Iditarod and the presidents plea went out for fighting men. MT. Willis left his lucrative placer claim, needed the call and figuratively shoudered his musket and set out for the nearest recruiting station to offer his services to his coun- try.
 It is no mean thing to make the trip this time of year, when the head waters of the innumerable creeks and rivers are breaking up; when the snow has melted, making dog teams impracticable, and the journey has to be made on foot, encountering many perils and hard ships and experiencing the disagree able elements. There must have been some rare incentive for a young man to start out alone on a trip of that nature It is good to know that this incentive was actuated from love of country-his country. It is glor ious to know that this Alaska is full of just such men who are willing to sacrifice their life's blood for their country's flag and in support of the government

Allies Assert
Kaiser Lied On
Turk Treaty
Entente Played Losing Game
With Ottomans From
the First
BY Frank w. Getty

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-Alled diplomats
Kaisers assertion that he concluded a
treaty with Turkey on August :, 1914
This claim was made by the German
Emperor in a letter 10 King Constan-
tine, made public in the recently issued
White Book.
Diplomatic circles in London believe
that the battle of factions in Constan-
tinople which resulted in the triumph
OF. Enver Bcy and the decision to enter
the war on the German side was far
from fought out at the beginning OF
August, and are Of the opinion that
its continuance was grim reality and
not the sham fight which, if the Kaiser
speaks the truth it must have been.
The Kaisers motive in asserting TO
Constantine that he had the treaty in

And Now the
Vision Of Fear
There is a familiar text Of which
there are two versions. In Ming
James's Bible it runs "Pcnce on eartn'

They are losing men far faster than
the Allies are losing ships, and the ell

nemesis that are the "causa causantes

Nothing to Balance
Defeat in the West

IL seems therefore unlikely that Ger

upon the West by any Eastern victories
OF resounding kind. For TO her grow
ing weakness on land we must now add
the gathering record of her failure at
sea- She Is not only unable to save her

We have learned more during the last
fortnight of the submarine campaign
than IN the whole period since Febru-
airy hrst. The news includes such
news IN It's origin as the revelation of
Count BernStorf's shameless efforts to

burg's using the Swedish Foreign Of
fee "a a catspaw in Germany's scheme
of assassination. Each of these events
is a picturesque reminder that eight
months ago Germany's sole hope of
avoiding defeat lay in the submarine
war and that war by submarine could
not be made against the fighting nations
without all the neutral nations being
involved in il also. In the first we see
Bernstorh making a last attempt TO
keep America at peace, while Germany
made war upon her. In the second in
cident We see LuXburg telling his mas
tiers that if war is TO be made on the
Argentine without the Argentine hit
ting back the thing must be done so
blOodily that no trace of the crime
should remain. Then there has been
the other illuminating story of sub
marine war carrying to its logical con-
clusion. When the survivors Of the
Belgian Prince went Off to the enemy's
submarine in boats the German captain
asked if there were gunners on board.
There were no survivors in uniform.
The captain is reported to have stated
that there had been gunners in the
ship, but that they had been killed by
the submarines bombardment. The
U-boat commander either disbelieved
the story or would take no chances,
