VICTORY IS CERTAIN.
SUPREME WAR COUNCIL EX-
PRESSES COMPLETE CONFT-
DENCE IN FOCH.
Believes Germans Will Renew Efforts
and Expects Critical Days i'm Fu-
ture.

London, June 4.--(By the Associat-
ed Press)-The supreme war coun-
Gil, which has had under advisement
the entire war situation, has express
cd in an official statement made pub
lie tonight full confidence in the out
come of the war, with the aid of the
American forces.
Complete confidence in Gen. Foch
is also expressed and tribute is paid
to President Wilson for his coopera-
ton in the work of transporting and
bringing American troops.
"The supreme war council held it's
sixth session under circumstances of
great gravity for the alliance of free
peoples" says the statement.
'The German government, relieved
of all pressure on the eastern front
by the collapse of the Russian armies
and people, has concentrated all it's
effort in the west. 1t is seeking to
gain decision in Europe by a series
of desperate and costly assaults upon
the Allied armies before the United
States can bring its full strength ef-
fectively to bear.
THE advantage it possesses in its
strategic position and superior railway
facilities has enabled the enemy COM
mand to gain some initial successes.
1t will undoubtedly renew it's attacks
and the Allied nations may be still
exposed to critical days.
After a review of the whole posi-
tion the supreme war council is con-
viIced that the Allies, bearing the
trials of the forthcoming campaign
with the same fortitude they have
ever exhibited in the defense of the
right. will BATTLE the enemy's purpose
and in due course bring him to defeat
Everything possible is being done to
sustain and support the armies in the
field.
THE arrangement for unity of com
mand has greatly improved the posi-
tio1 of the Allied armies ard is work
ing smoothly and with success. The
supreme war council has complete
confidence in Gen. Foch and it re-
CARDS with pride and admiration the
valor of the Allied troops.
Thanks to the prompt and cordial
cooperation of the president of the
United States, the arrangements
which were set on foot more than two
months ago for the transportation
and brigading Of American troops will
make it impossible for the enemy to
gain victory by wearing out the Allied
reserve before he has exhausted his
own.
THE supreme war council is conf
dent of the ultimate result and the
Allied peoples are resolute not to
sacrifice a single one Of the free na-
tions of the world to the despotism
OF Berlin. The armies are displaying
the same steadfast courage which en-.
abled them on many previous occa.
sions to defeat a German onslaught.
They have only to endure with faith
and patience to the end 10 make vic
tory for freedom secure. The free
peoples and their magnificent soldiers
will save civilization"

DEAD AND MISSING, So.
ALL FROM STEAMER CAROLINA
ATTACKED SUNDAY AFTER.
NOON.
Sixteen known to Be Lost but IL is
Hpoed Others Have Been Picked up
by Passing Ships.

New York, June 4.-The toll of
dead and missing from the raid of
German submarines against shipping
off the American coast apparently
stood tonight at 5S, all from the
steamer Carolina, of the New York
and Porto Rican Line. Sixteen of
this number are known to have per-
ished when one of the ships boats
capsized in a storm Sunday night af-
ter the vessel had been sunk. 1t is
hoped the others have been picked
up by a passing ship
Officials of the company have placed
the number of passengers aboard the
Carolina when she was attacked 1875
miles off Sandy Hook at 220, and the
crew at 130. making $50 in all.
Capt. Barbour, of the Carolina, re-
ported to the company that he was on
board the schooner Eva B. Douglass
with $50 passengers and 94 of the
crew. The schooner is expected to-
morrow.
boat containing twenty-eight sur
vivors, twenty-one passengers and
seven of the crew, arrived at Allan
tic City today.
Another lifeboat with ten passen-
gers and nine members of the crew
arrived at Lewes, Del.
If the company's figures as to the
number aboard the liner are correct,
this leaves forty-three unaccounted
for. That number might have been
crowded into one lifeboat. The only
possible clue to their fate was found
In the fact that an empty boat, mark
ed with the name of Carolina, was
picked up by British steamship
which arrived here today. 1t had
every evidence of having been riddled
by gunfire.
There was no official confirmation
OF a report that several bodies had
been washed ashore at Beach Haven,
N. j.
Another ship was added to the list
of victims of the u-boats when the
American schooner Edward r. Baird,
Jr., was found in a sinking condition
off the Maryland coast.
1t has been established, that at
least two submarines of a large type
took part in the raid. 1t was the U-37
which sank the Carolina and the u
Isl which sent several schooners to
the bottom.
While all the resources Of the navy
were engaged in determined search
for the sea raiders, coast cities made
preparations for any emergencies.
All display lights were ordered extin-
guished in New York City and i,
cities and towns along the Long Is
land and New Jersey coast. The or
ders were issued here by the police
commissioner after consultation with
army and navy officers as a precau-
ton not only against a possible at

raids from airplanes which 1t is

Lending strength to the theory that
the government may have some def
mite ground for a fear of air raids.
Police Commissioners Enright tonight
announced the signals which will tell
OF the coming of enemy aircraft.
AT every aviation station along the
coast fiocks of planes took the air to-
Day In some cases they went out to

 Doan's Kidney Pills are for one thing only.

 Wm. A. Quayle prop. electric motor repair shop, 991 Harrison St., San Francisco, Calif., says: "I was troubled with my kidneys for about two months. The kidney secretions were profuse and highly colored and I had to get up four or five times at night to pass them. I worked in a lead mine & number of years ago and I think that was the cause of my trouble. I became wor- ried and went to a drug store and asked for the best kidney medicine. Doan's Kidney Pills promptly re- moved the trouble with my kidneys and I have had no sign of it since"

crush Italy, strike at Salonikl or try to recover the lost Turkish ter r'tory in Mesopotamia and in Pales- tine. The prize for successful op- erations against England is con- sidered so attractive that the strate- gists are convinced that the blow VIII fall there. Germany regards Greet Britain as the biggest ob- stacle to peace, and, no matter what successes Germany may have elsewhere, there remain the British fleet and the British army to be reckoned with. By concentrating the submarine campaign on British and American shipping for the next few weeks, and by attempt 'ng to break the allied blockade Of German ports, it is believed that Germany is prepared to put fate to the test and to win or lose on a last supreme effort.

COPPER RIVER LOCOMO-
 TIVES TO USE COAL

President stephen Birch, of the Copper River railway, has notified Superintendent Caleb Corser that the Standard Oil company cannot promise oil deliveries as required, and will not guarantee to fulfil the balance of their contract with the railroad, which expires in a few months, neither will they likely be in a lCsition to take any future or ders, says the Cordova Timse.
 SuL erintendent Corser has under consideration the immediate conver- sion of their locomotives from oil to coal. He has referred the matter to the Seattle office in order to ascer- tain whether the steamship company will h~ able to supply enough bot toms ic transport a sufficient sup ply of coal from the road in opera tion 50 that the company may con- itnue to make regular shipments of copper, which is so badly needed by the gCYernmnet for war purposes.

4 BLIZZARD FROM NORTH

Thursday night of last week, just after we had gone to press a bliz- gard spranq out of the north which for fiva days kept the people of the Southern end of the Territory within doors, unless absolutely nee nsSary for them to be abroad. Dur ing the time the thermometer drop ped from 15 above to 50 below. It was taA severest storm that has wis ted this section of the country for a long JiTe. The worst part of it, all though not the coldest. was in the ~arlier stages, when the air was filled with flying snow by which the trails ard roads were so deeply drift ed t ras since ben hard for either man . beast to get around where the snow is unpacked by travel.

 Tuesday mornings train for Skag- way he'd to return after getting about four miles out of town, on account of the track being glaciered. The aorthbound train however, came in about II o'clock Tuesday night.
 Wednesday morning the south bound train again started out, but ran into a big drift at the bend just south Of town and while trying to buck is way thru. a snowslide came down the steep bluff and bur jed the whole train.

FOOD WINS THE WAR DON'T WASTE IT
GERMANY TO STRIKE

Due to the release of numerous divisions on the Russian front and Lo the drafts from the 1919 and 1920 classes. the problem of man power temporarily has been solved for Germany, and the long expect cd offensive or large scale may be expected soon. The strategists with the armies Of the entente al- lies have considered the possibility that the attack may be made at m,re than one place, but anticipate that the larger offensive will be directed against the line guarding the Belgian coast. That it will ba accompanied by a deuonscra- tiop at sea, and will have for it's ultimate object an attack on Eng laui. also is considered likely.
 Recently the British war office has displayed great energy in ascer- aiming the strength of the Ger man forces, and, while the facts point to a predOmtnance of man power on the western front, i- is not great enough to insure vic tory. Therefore the British wei come a German attack on a large scale, believing that it will more costly in German lives than was VeTdun.
 l. is a curious phase of the situa- tim on the Russian front that, while it is no longer necessary to nod the line in force, Germany must maintain Q strict guard on the whole length of the 1,2OO-mile line 10 prevent BOlshevike ideas from nercolating into Germany. Already lha contact between German sol d'ers and the soldiers of the BOl- sheYik' government has besn harm ful to the kaiser's cause. Lately efforts have been redoubled to pre- vent the spread of the BOlsheviki doctrines throughout the empire. However, the thin line can be held w'th secOnd-class troops, while the fightigg men are massed for attack Iu the west. ..
 T. Is estimated by the British in- telngence department that Ger many will be able to transfer from thirty to forty divisions, which s calculated to be a maximum of 64O,- 900 men. Tn the opinion of the experts, the number will be nearer 500. 900. Without taking into ac- count the internal condition in Aus trla-Hungary, it is considered pos siDle that Emperor Charles will be able to send 20O,OOO men to Alsaee n the spring, which will give Von HIndenburg a total of 100000 ad- ditional men.
 As to the point of attack, Von Hindeuburg will be able to choose from among a dozen fronts. He may concentrate in an attack on England; he may continue the bat tie in Flanders on 8 larger scale; he may attack the British in France, the French, the Belgians or the Americans: he may operate thru sAitzerIandi he may ehdeaYOr to
