BY L. c. MARTIN.

WASHINGTON. June ia terrific
battle IS to be waged this fall for con-
troll OF the United States senate.
Democratic control now Is ~theoretic-
ally held by eight votes. Actually. tho
margin is much smaller. as several
democrats can be found voting with
the republicans on nearly every I'M
portant measure. Since on war meas
ures the republicans have been quite
as strong supporters OF the administra-
ton as the majority party. this ten
uous control has not hurt the demo-
Gratis. But they realize the danger to
their prestige. and are going out this
fall in an effort to better their hold
ings.
Republicans on the other hand. are
confident OF reducing the present mar
gin OF control by tour or FIVE. They
already claim ability TO elect senators
in Idaho, New Hampshire. Illinois.
Kansas and Nevada. In several other
states. they claim a lighting chance
BoRAH Is RUNNING.
In daho. Sen. Borah Is seeking re-
election. It seems likely. from present
indications. that Borah Will have a
fairly easy time OF It. 1t has been ru-
mored also that a compromise had
been worked out whereby Sen. Nugent.
democrat. appointed to I'LL the %unexpir-
ed term OF the late Sen. Bradley. would
not be opposed by the republicans, In
return for similar treatment OF Borah
by the democrats Borah's friends deny
this. and claim they will be able to
elect a republican to succeed Nugent.
Both sides concede It VIII be a pretty
fight"

elected on his record OF strong sup

The G. o. p. however. maintains that
Hollis won his seat because OF dlsaf-
lection in the republican ranks which
threw progressive votes to him. With
a united party. they assert they can
heat Hollis or any other democratic
candidate. Several republicans are as
pirants for the nomination. among them

CAPT. NORTON IS IN SEWARD
 FROM INTERIOR

CaDtain N. c. Norton, well known Alaskan, accompanied by his wife, arrived in the city last night and they are making their headquarters at the Hotel Seward. Furthermore, the cap- tain and his wife intend to locate in this city. The couple came here di- rect from Marshall City.
 "There is no reason for any excite ment over the reported placer gold strike at Good News Bay" said the Captain.
 Coming out on the trail, Capt. Nor ton met Joe McDowell, one of the best known mining men in the country Who was returning to Marshall City from the scene of the Good News Bay strike. According to MT. Mcdowell there are only three paying claims in operation in the new district. Pe;- sons intending going there are aivis- ed to wait until summer as supplies are short and there is no fuel timber in the Good News Bay District.
 Curley Smith and Joe Jean, opera tors in the Marshall City district have taken options on several claims in the Good News Bay region and pro- pose extensive development work next summer.
 Trail conditions from the interior are bad, according to Captain Norton. Anderson's road house, known as the Pass Creek roadhouse, is flooded and the entire lower floor is unfit for oc- cupancy. Guests are required to en- ter the house with the aid of ladder through the second story windows.
 The waters in Pass Creek some time ago broke through and inundated the lower floor of the roadhouse which now has the appearance of small glacier.
 The trail practically the entire dis tance from the interior to Anchorage was extremely bad. From Anchorage to Seward, what distance is made afoot, the travel was excellent.
 Capt. Norton was the first man to bring gold out from4the lditarod by the overland route. This was in 1913 and the captain was accompanied by Bob Griffiths.

SUBSTITUTES KILLING GERMANS
 CLAIM SCIENTISTS

AMSTERDAM, Feb. g. - (Corres- pondence of the Associated Press). - The almost complete lack of nourish- ment in many of the food "substi- tutes" now being sold in Germany is arousing a storm of warning from German scientists, who declare that government supervision of the whole substitute food traffic is an immediate necessity. Professor Juckenack of the University of Berlin, writing in the Vossische Zeitung, says:
 "It is useless any longer to hide the truth. Unless the Government active ly intervenes to put some control over the flood of substitute foods with which we are overwhelmed, the end of the war will also see the end of a third of Germany's population. More over, the remaining two-thirds will be so enfeebled from malnutrition that they will be unable to perform the immense tasks of recuperation and restoration.
 "The devil alone knows what are the ingredients of thousands of these wretched substitutes that already do duty for butter and eggs, oil and milk, flour and spirits, meat and broth, coffee and sugar, tobacco and tea, fish and sausage, cheese and ca viar, and so on without end.
 "The latest products of the ingen- ious substitute-mongers are really too terrible to be tolerated. A prepara- tion of crude kerosene is now being largely sold as frying oil, and 800 cases of serious illness together with nine deaths have been traced to its use in Berlin alone. A preparation called "goose dripping" is prepared from dogs fat; egg substitutes from a mixture of chalk and baking pow der; caviar from fish scales, and bread from straw. What people, no matter how patriotic, can hold out on such fare?"

VICTORIA HAS HARD TIME IN
 GETTING AWAY

Steamer Victoria was at the San Juan dock early this afternoon wait ing foY the wind to subside in order to clear for the south. The steamer is expected to get away at any hour.
 The Victoria left the Seward dock shortly after 9 o'clock last night and started for the San Juan dock. A nigh wird was blowing at the time and Capt. Davis had hard time landing and in doing so damaged the guard rail on the dock and bent Sev- eral of the piles including those on one end used generally by steamers to hang to when swinging around. Owing to these piles being damaged, Capt. Davis did not care to move un- til the wind died down or he was hauled out into the stream by pulling on anchors.
 The following passengers from Seward are aboard the Victoria: E. T. Fisher, Grace Morley, E. R. Arbuckle and wife, L. L. Stickler, s. Freyd, J, Libeman, Eva Mantell, Rose Cotton, Donald Mcdonald, Matt Rydkanen, J. E. Hensley, L. Gates, Grace Morley, A. Valentine, Mrs. H. l.. Fortney, Mrs. J. H. Bullard, Tom Waslayk, L.. B.

TRADE ACTIVITY KEEPS GROWING
 WITH ! BRITISH

LONDON, Feb. z. - The fourth year of war has been remarkable for the sustained activity of trade, The continuous and cumulative increases in wages and the ferment in the en- cheering and munition industries, says the Daily Telegraph
 During the past twelve months wage increases to wOrkingmen eX- ceeded lO0,OO0.000 pounds and the iu- creaSeS curing the three years 1915 l6-l7, together with the rise in prices of commodities, have completely re- yolutionized the pre-war economic ba- sis of British trade.
 The unpleasant feature Of the year has been the growing diScontent and unrest pervading large sections of the workers and this is sC n n thc num- Der of industrial disputes, often of the most trivial kind. OiAeiu ieturns from January to November indicate there were 494 disputes during those months affecting 647, ,T24 workers and causing the loss of over 3,5OO,OO0 working days, the greatest loss of time being recorded during September October and November.
 The number of persons unemployed is the lowest on record, and through out tire war period the figure has steadily declined till it is now belo" one per cent.
