Washington, March 9.-It is learn

to France on schedule time. ,
While figures may not be published.
1t is stated positively that transpcr.

being met by the Shipping board and
the immediate situation as to ships

To others It appears probable that
no offensive will be undertaken on any

French offensive in 1916 started In
too early. Guns and supplies could

Meanwhile there has been less dis

are observers here who have never
been convinced that the Germans

drive at the channel ports or at Paris.
To these officers, the admitted concen-
tration Of German forces has seemed a
defensive rather than an offensive

general staff foresaw a great Allied

While much has been said, both of
ficially and unofficially, of IN expect

a million American troops in France

GOOD BACKS FOR BAD

 Back for 9 Stronger One

Does your back ache, feel weak and painful?
 Do you suffer headaches, languor and depression?
 Is the urine discolored, passages irregular?
 The kidneys may be calling for helD,
 Weak kidneys cannot do their work.
 Give them tts help they need.
 To cure kiney backache you must cure the kidneys.
 Use g tested and proven kidney remedy.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have stood tha test.
 Convincing proof of merit in the following endorsement:
 Arthur Portier, 5O9 Heron St. Aberdeen, Wash, says: "Doan's $ Kicney Pills, in my estimation are superior to any other medl- cine for kidney trouble and l couldn't recommend anything their equal. have been taking Doahf Kidney Pills off and on for a number of years and have always received fine results. For lameness of the back and kidney disorders D~an's can't be equaled."

It IS with some degree of pride that this pub ncation has received many ack"o"I- eGgements and immediate action has been taken, especially by the Con sressional delegation of the state Of Washington, the Alaska Bu- TtAO or tue N'E4A~sE CNumerce and yarious officials Of Alas\s, canada and the United States to immediately improve these conditions.

and about three miles south or Whl by Point, directly in the track Of vessels proceeding from Skagway out through Icy strait.
 These matters are respectfully submitted for favorable considera- tion of your department.
 Yours truly,
 R, R. PIERSON, Superintendent.
 Thus We have complete and off11 cial record showing that the cana dian pacific Railway, the company which suffered such loss in the recent disaster, nearly six years ago called attention to these facts and petitioned for a light on van derbnt Reef, located in United States waters and thereby coming under jurisdiction O' the U. $. Department of Commerce, although the petition was addressed to the Branch Photographic Office of the U. s. Navy.
 Should it be determined that owing to the apparent fact that two distinct branches of the gov ernment having to do with mari time affairs, are shown by these records to have been fully ap- praised of the necessity for such a light, it seems strange that no results followed during all the in tervening years and in justice to those departments it must be as stunned that they recommended the lights but appropriations by Con gressional action were not made Furthermore so that no injustice can possibly be done. Railway X Ma rine News will gladly make public any further correspondence touch ing this important question so that definite responsibility for this neglect eau be placed,-Railway and Marine eNws.

 Seattle, Wash, May ', 1913. Lieut.. s. H. Lawton, IT,, U. S. Photographic Office, Port Townsend, Washington. Dear Sir:
 Replying to your circular letter of April 18th, in regard to re- quest of the Canadian Steamers for Q light on vanderbilt Reef, Alaska I think most Of our masters and pilots have replied to you direct; however, l am enclosing letter from Capt J. Livingtone in connection With this matter. It seems to be the general opinion that a light on Vanderbilt Reef would enable yes selS to definitely locate the limits of that reef and thus be able to give the reef off Sentinel Island 8 wider berth. At present, in en- deayoring to steer clear of wander blt Reef, they are apt to run too close to Sentinel Island.
 Yours truly,
 &. R. PERSON, superintendent'' It will be observed that Superin- tendent Pierson stated that in his opinion most oI the masters and pilots of the Alaska Steamship. Co., had replied direct to Lieut. Law ton, but the general opinion was that the light On Vanderbilt Reef was necessary.
 Furthermore. under date of May ! 9th. 1913, Superintendent Pierson addressed the following letter to the U. S. Inspector of Lighthouses at Ketchikan, Alaska.
 Seattle, Wash, May g, 1915. i Inspector of Lighthouses,
 Ketchikan, Alaska.
 Dear Sir:
 In making inquiries regarding the desirability of light on Wander bnt Reef near Sentinel Island, AL aska, our masters an& pilots seem l to be of the opinion that 8 light on ! Vanderbilt Reef would enable yes sels to definitely locate the limits of that reef and thus be able to give the reef off Sentinel Island a wider berth.
