We wish to state that we were mis-
quoted in our letter of last week con-
cerning the statement about our pastor
and we wish 70 correct the mistake. In
stating that the viii OF the late Annie
Deputy was being contested and that
the attorneys on both sides were search
ing the county for witnesses and had
even summoned preachers and that one
witness had been threatened with per-
jury. we were understood to have said
that our preachers had been summoned
and one Of them was threatened with
perjury. Our preacher was not threat
ened or accused Of perjury and we hope
this explanation is plain and satisfactory.

been a mix up among the news agency
and no daily papers have come to town
since Saturday.

the heavy rain storm last Sunday even

A DIFFERENT REFRAIN.

CAMP KEARNY, Oct. 29. - AL though the Germans marched in undefended Belgian cities singing Deutschland Uber Alles," and American troops are said to have sung popular airs as they advanced upon Chateau Thierry, recruits here have a different refrain. Almost any time when they are drilling the chant Left! Left! One, two, three, four" repeated endlessly, can be heard a quarter of a mile or more away.
 Some officers have their entire commands shout this series of words as they march or drill; others make more sparing use of it but most of them use it because "it keeps the mems mind occupied" or "it develops their lungs" One gave a long explanation of the psychology whereby such a repeti- tion would, he said, "train the mems subconscious minds in rythm so they always would keep the army cadence in walking"

Gov. Riggs Successor and Chairman Edes Say That Wck's Charges Against
 Governor Unjust.
RAILROAD WELL BUILT
No Better Road Anywhere, and Accident Might Have Occurred Against Any
 Railroad Man.

F. D. Browne, the engineer who succeeded Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., at Nenana, whom Judge Wickersham says is one of the best of railroad engineers and builders, and Wllllani c. Edes. chairman of the Alaska En- gineering Commission, in plain and direct terms, contradict Judge Wick ershams charges of incompetency and playing politics" against Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., when he was in charge of railroad work at Nenana
 In his speech at Fairbanks and else where in Alaska Judge Wickersham accused Gov. Riggs of incompeten- cy. He said that miles of railroad had to be built and much money was Host through incompetency and stu pidity, through politics and assanin- ity." And again he intimated that Gov. Riggs did not know which end of wheelbarrow goes first, but he said that the present engineer. the man who succeeded Gov. Riggs, F. D. Browne, is very competent en- gineer and capable railroad builder.
 In view of these attacks The Elm pire sent telegrams to F. D. Browne, engineer in charge at Nenana, and to William c. Edes, chairman of the Alaska Engineering Commission at Anchorage, as follows:
 "Wickersham is stating that Gov Riggs played politics at Nenana and as a consequence his work as an en gineer was no good Please wire your opinion on this subject, collect press"
 Mir. Browne's Reply To Empire
 The reply of MT. Browne was as follows
 "Nenana, Alaska, Oct. g, 1916 Alaska Daily Empire,
 Juneau, Alaska.
 "Wickersham's opinions of Gov ernor Riggs engineering capability are his own, and the responsibility for his statements must rest with him. Wickersham is lawyer and am an engineer. His opinions on
The Alaska daily empire., 1918-10-29

matter of engineering are entitled to as much weight as mine would be on a mater of law, and no more.
 "As a matter of fact the railroad out of Nenana was as well con structed as any railroad ever was. An act of God sent destructive floods as it did on the Seward branch, and the relocation and reconstruction fol lowed. The same thing has happened thousands of times in the United States, and many times in Alaska on the upper river and elswhere. It is one of the hazards of railroad con. struction.
 "If Gov. Riggs played politics at Nenana' as stated by Wickersham, I do not know it.
 q do not give credit to state ments made by political opponents in the heat of political debate and inspired by the desire to win.
 "BROWNE" /" MT. Edes's Reply to The Empire The reply of MT. Edes was as fol lows:
 Anchorage, Alaska, Oct. 25, 1918. Alaska Daily Empire,
 Juneau, Alaska.
 "Your wire received this morning on my return to office
 ''In my opinion Wickersham's statements unwarranted and very unjust to Gov. Riggs.
 "The fact that the Nenana river under unusual flood conditions left the channel it had occupied for years and broke through into an old slough thereby causing much dam age to the railroad and necessitating rebuilding of a number of miles is no fault of Gov Riggs, but is likely to happen to anyone
 While Gov. Riggs was stationed at Nenana I visited him twice, and always found him attending strictly to business.

SERBIA Is WELL EQUIPPED FOR
 FIELD OPERATION
Thousands of Serbs Who Have Fled to the M0un-
 tains Have Since Joined Army.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29.-Ser- bia, with we'll equipped army of 400, 900 men, expects soon to take Austria and Germany on her line she occupied in August, 1914. known as the "Sava- Danube line." Captain s. Milutinovich, head of Serbian recruiting mission to the United States, declared here today. Since Serbia became active in re- cruiting her nationals in this coun- try over 60,0OO have left these shores for the Macedonian campaign, the officer said, adding that fifteen thou. sand of these, five hundred of them from California, participating in the sharp decisive campaign in the ter. ritory behind the Vrania-Nish line, which resulted in the Bulgarian de. bacle and the clearing of Albania of Austrian troops. @
 Thousands of Serbian soldiers who fled to the mountains of their coun- try when the Austro-G German flood poured over their land, rejoined their fellows and again took up arms in their country's defense when that flood was swept back by the SerbU French advance. These seifexaled men lived primitively in the .moantAin fastnesses, too few to cheek the invaders, but hoping and praying for the time when they might again join the army of their country. They were frenzied with joy, Capt. Milut- inovich said, when they saw the ar mics of Serbia sweeping through the land.
 Since Bulgaria's plea for peace, Macedonian reseryists forced to serve in the Bulgarian army find them selves free to cast in their lot with Serbia and the Jugo-Slav detach- ments from liberated portions of the Adriatic coast, Capt. Milutinovich said. These men, all trained to the minute, are adding heavily to, the weight of the Slav forces. in his op- inion.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 29.-Golden opportunities, based in part on the friendliness of Chinese for Ameri cans, which would half sell the goods of itself" are being overlooked fin China by this country, Dr. Chao Hsin Gnu, recently appointed Chin csc consul general here told the Home Industry Leageu of California at a luncheon here recently.
 Dr. Gnu formerly was English sec retary to the President of the Chin ese Republic and is graduate o1 the Columbia University. He said:
 "The vast import needs of the 100000, 900 population of the Chinese Republic, with the tremendous quan tity of goods shipped to China for re shipment to other countries, were supplied by the British and Germans to the greatest extent at the time oi the outbreak of the great war. Since then imports from those countries have been stopped. There were great stores of their goods in China when the war began and these re served have kept the Chinese more or less supplied. But today there are practically no more stocks left As a result the merchants of Chins are flooding the factories of Japan with rush orders.
 "All ranks of enlightened people fir China know and are profoundly grate full for the manner in which the peo pie of Americt have treated the Chin ese. The mere fact that a certain line of goods was produced in the United States would more than hal sell it to the buying Chinamen.
 "The day of anti-American feeline is over-dead and buried long ago. and American trade marks on al kinds of goods would be sufficien, protection if trouble did break ou in China again--which cannot be.
 1f the United States does no wake up at once to the golden chanc es in China we will see the cream of the business go elsewhere"
