SWITCH LAID FOR NEW LINE
 ON RAILROAD
A Branch Line to Join the New Survey Line Is Commenced
 Near Fish Greek.

A commencement was made to- day with the work of laying a switch and line beginning at a point on the completed railroad lying be- tween bridges and 6, about three miles out of town. This line will be continued in the direction of the new survey line that is being run for the purpose of getting informa- tion as to whether a line as good or better than the present railroad line exists.
 It is not known definitely how far this branch line is to be ex- tended but it is thought it will be extended sufficiently far to serve the present needs of the survey parties and will be handy for instant use in the event of the present location of the line being changed to follow the survey line now being run and thereby eliminate Lost Slough,
 The switch which had been in use at the north end of the spur track built on the old location of Camp p Dragline camp) to accommodate the gravel cars, was taken up yes terday and brought to the present location this morning. The work of putting in the switch and the first few lengths of rails of the new track will be done by the men of section gangs one and two. ..-
 The land over which the new line will be laid is of swampy nature. and it will therefore be necessary to built up grade and ballast the track following the laying of the rails and it is proposed to do this work on force account, as it is the easiest, cheapest and quickest way.
 As soon as the work is we'll under way it is probable that the dragline camp, under Foreman Fred Craig, will be given charge of the con tinuance of it.
 The laying of spur track at this place and the extention of it to- wards the new survey line does not necessarily mean that the railroad is to be built on the new location, al- though there is strong probability that it will eventually follow line that will eliminate all trouble from Lost Slough.
 MT. Frederick D. Browne, engin- ger in charge of this division of the road, told the News representative that the survey is being undertaken with a view of ascertaining whether a route as good or better than the present route can be found.
 When the survey has been com pleted all of the data obtained with such recommendation as the engin- eer in charge would care to make, will be laid before the proper au- thorities and their decision in the matter awaited.
 In the meantime, MT. Browne was of the opinion that the regularly recurring floods and consequent damage to the roadbed and the prop I; erty of the Alaskan Engineering commission, may dictate to the engineers in charge the course to be followed.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
IN THE FIELD, May 30. - The
Germans since the start of the
present offensive have lost mini
mum Of $4,000 men, according to
compilations made today that are
automatically certain.
The German attack on the Aisne
front Monday fell upon British d.
visions which previously had been
engaged, and were sent to this
quiet sector to recuperate.
Despite the most stubborn re-
sistance, the British division oc-
cupying Craonne fell back under
pressure from four German divis-
ions.
German tanks on the British
flank prevented a counter attack
A British division in Bermicourt
wood, cooperating with French
teritorials, held out to the last
man.
The feature of the entire battle
in this area has been the close CO.
operation of the French and Brit
ish.

Totes Some
Blunderbuss

One of the interesting things
brot out on Memorial day was a
peculiar old gun called a goose
gum" carried to town by John
Smith Of Sumner.
The gun, which is five feet in
length and weighs q pounds, was
manufactured In Detroit, Mich,
in 1876, and all of the material
in it was obtained from horse
shoe nails. 1t has a twist bar
rel and an u Inch bore.
1t was the property of Smith s
father, who used 1t to hunt geese
and ducks with great success. 1t
required three times as much
powder as the average bird gun
of today, and uses old style per-
cussion caps.
Smith fired the gun two days
ago and found it to be in first
class shape and as good as when
it was manufactured. He attract
ed a crowd as he carried 1t on
the streets. Soldiers who passed
thru the manual of arms with it
and all of them declared they
would hate to carry it in a re-
view. as it weighs about eight
times as much as the guns they
are accustomed to using.

On the Hunt
For Workers

Tacoma is not the only city that
has had difficulty obtaining
enough workers for its shipyards.
A. H. Adams, employment sup
erintendent of the Grays Harbor
Motorship corporation of Aber-
deem, was in Tacoma today look
ing over the labor situation and
trying to round up men in this
section of the country.
The Aberdeen yards need ham
mer helpers and common labor
ers most of all, he said. The
wages, he declared, have been
raised from 1884 to 1929 for
hammer helpers and from $3.5S
to $3.96 for laborers.
Work ON vessels for the govern
ment in the Aberdeen yards has
been seriously halted by lack of
men he declared. The Motorship
corporation employs about 100
men at present.

BRIDGE LAKE

The 316th engineers at Camp
Lewis had a new experience
Wednesday afternoon when they
laid their first real pontoon bridge
which extended across a bayou of
American lake not far from
Greene Park.
The boats to be used were car
ried to the bayou Tuesday and
Wednesday on wagons and at a
signal were rowed out and an
chored at the proper place.
The bridge was quickly built
and the men made very credible
showing.
Crews were selected from the
regiment for the work. but the
plan is to give every man in the
whole regiment an opportunity to
assist in the building of one Cs
these pontoon bridges.

ARMIES IN FRANCE, May
3O.-There are new American
graves being decorated today.
They are on grassy hill

Meath dropping trees and be-
side stone walls, centuries

Mothers, sisters, sweethearts,
cannot visit these graves. The
tender touch of a mother placing
a flower upon the grave of her

fighting men who have fallen in

Most of those graves In France
are fresh. The cold, brown earth
has not yet been covered by its
soft quilt Of grass.
A little wooden cross, with the
fallen ones name inscribed upon
1t, and a small American flag
that droops and caresses the
grave, marks the resting place of
the dead hero.
In one little group of graves
alongside a roadside in Lorraine
lie - American boys. In another
cemetery back Of a certain hos
pital are twice as many more.
And far up under the guns
there is a little graveyard guard
ed by an old stone wall in which
rest more of Americas dead. SO
IL Is thruout the area in which
Americans have fought.
The men and boys who came
to France dedicated their lives
to world principles. .
They have died as soldiers OF
the democracies of the world.
Their bodies may be found thru
