UP TO THE LAWYERS

TREADWELL, Jan. 12.-The Lyric theatre muddle is being watched with interest on the Island where the ma jority of the people would prefer to see it kept open, the Lyric having been always popular with movie pat rOns. It is still closed by the new 1easee, the Treadwell Club Asked this morning what was doing in Ly- ric circles, a member high in the councils of both the Labor Union and Treadwell Club replied; "It is up to the lawyers at Juneau who are representing the parties to the dispute" It is reported in Douglas that in the event that the Lyric can not be secured for further use as a picture show a Juneau party will secure another room and start up elsewhere in town. It is even said the negotiations are already under way for securing the former location of the Phoenix Bar on Front Street, where the "old stuff" from straight whiskey to the seductive cocktail was wont to flow when knighthood was in nose-bloom, and where show house may be opened in the event arrangements for SC curing the Lyric can not be con summated

GREAT FEATS ARE
 BEING PERFORMED
 BY ARMY DOCTORS

FRENCH FRONT, Jan. 12.-Al- most incredible feats have been and are being accomplished every day of the war by the surgeons who treat soldiers wounded on the battlefield. These remarkable feats have in creaseds in frequency as the strick- en men are more quickly gathered in by the ambulances and brought to the field hospitals for surgical in tervention.
 At the beginning of the war it was not always possible to clear up a battlefield of the casualties in less than three or four days, and on many occasions wounded men waited even longer before their injuries could be handled The result of this was that large numbers of the wounded succumbed from gan grene of blood poisoning, or were rendered so feeble from loss of blood that they were unable to undergo operations that were vitally necessary. It was at that time re-

WILL. DISMISS CASES AGAINST CREW MEMBERS Those Charged with Loot ing the AI-k Will Be
 Allowed Their

 Dismissed by DiS-
 trict Attorney.
A LACK OF EVIDENCE

All charges against~the captain and members of the crew of the fishing steamer Manhattan charged with hay ing footed the wreck of the Al-Ki will be dismissed on motion of Dis trict Attorney J. A. Smiser on the opening of the new term of court. The crew, twenty eight in number are at present out on $509 cash bail each, which will be returned to the bondsmen
 MT. Smiser said this morning that the cases will be dismissed for want of evidence to convict the men. The evidence that the men had beet footing on the Al-Ki was lost when the Manhattan was wrecked and for that reason they will not be brought back from the south
 The members of the Manhattan crew were arrested in Juneau as they stepped from the decks of the Mariposa, which had rescued them near Lituya Bay, when southbound from Cordova. The Manhattan had struck an uncharted rock and sunk All blankets and other material which the men were charged with having taken from the Al-Ki went down with the Manhattan.
 ''They admit taking a few blank cts but claim that they saved them for salvage. We have no evidence to warrant spending the govern ment's money to bring them back when we couldn't convict them, said MT. Smiser.

BARRACE FIRE IS DREADED
 BY AV|ATORS The Birdmen Must Take Their Chances and De- pend Upon Fast
 Flights. SHOOTING IS ACCURATE Anti-air Craft Machine Gun Can Now Send Fire
 a Long Dis-
 tanCe.
SHOOTING IS ACCURATE

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Jan. 1.-The anti aircraft barrage is to. day the most dreaded enemy weapon which the airmen has to face in his flights over the lines. In the midst of a sea of bursting shells, the air plane bobs up and down like ship in a violent storm. The concusions which the shells make in bursting produce a swift. succession of air pockets and air bumps, and it is absolutely impossible to keep a ma chine steady through them. Mean while there is the strain of knowing always that the next instant one of the thousands of flying shell splinters may reach vital spot in either ma chine or pilot
 Yet it is not possible to avoid fly ing through a barrage at times. The latest type of anti-aircraft guns can place barrage as high as 23,000 feet, and it is not practical to turn about and try to climb over the barrage. It takes very highly spec ialized scout machine to climb 23,000 feet, and the heavier machines can not achieve that altitude under any circumstances.
 The longer the airman hesitates to run the barrage, the longer he is exposed to the fire. Anti-aircraft gunnery at the front has now reach ed a point where the range is calcu- lated to nicety almost instantan- eously by process of triangulation and therefore the flyer who hesi- tates is lost The only thing he can do is to take his chance, just as a ship at sea takes storm and ac- cepts it's chances of weathering the gale.
 Next to the barrage, the most feared of the ground defenses is the Cluster" This is group of six anti-aircraft shells, sent up together, and placed just ahead of the mechine with one shell aimed to burst the tip of the fuselage. two on each side of it, two on each side just ahead, and one further and directly ahead. The side slip is the favorite pro- tection against these clusters" The anti-aircraft gunners get their range nowadays so accurately that the slightest move out of range is fair ly certain to get the machine out of dangers way-unless the gunners have anticipated this move, as they sometimes do, by placing another cluster at the most likely spot for an expected side-slip.
 The side slip is produced by tip ping the plane down slightly, and while flying ahead, slithering over sideways, and down. thus changing the range without seeming to do so, for the gunner looking up sees as much of the machine. as before and is justified in estimating it's height to be the same. In reality the machine is a little to one side and several hundred feet lower as the result of his skilful sideslip. Below height of 5000 feet anti aircraft guns cannot be used to ad- vantage, but machine guns and rifles provide equally dangerous enemies. A machine gun playing stream of 300 bullete a minute is no mean foe, even though the bullets are not ex- plosive
