SAVED LIVES OF TWO
 BY MEANS OF NET

w. A. Phillips, for three and one half years in charge of a lighthouse on Unamak Island, is staying at the Alaskan hotel.
 Mir Phillips is an old time Alaskan and a former resident of COrdova His experiences at his lonely station isolated from the outside world, reads like an adventure story. When Phil lips first went to Scotch Cap station the keeper was Charley Loucks, at one time keeper at Whiteshead. Loucks became i'll of heart trouble and dis tress signal was shown. A fishing boat, equipped with wireless passed the word to the cutter Manning In time the Manning appeared and sent boat ashore containing a doctor and four sailors. The sea was perfect ly calm when the boat arrived at the station. When the doctor and crew started on the return trip taking the sick man with them heavy sea was running and within hundred feet of | shore, the boat swamped drowning Loucks, the doctor and two sailors. Two men were saved through the hero ism of Rosenberg, half-breed, who | is assistant at the lighthouse. He ran | to the storehouse and obtained fish | net. After securing the shore end, he ran out as far as possible Tn the wake of the ~receeding seas and threw | the net After four attempts in which he almost lost his own life, two of the sailors were dragged ashore. None of the bodies were recovered 1 but about three weeks later leg upon which there was a tan shoe was washed up on the beach.
 The mail reaches these stations about four times year. There is no l wireless and the total population of the island consists of the two light house crews of three men each.
 Trout are to be hand in abundance in the small streams on the island, and the caribou are so plentiful that there is no lack of fresh meat
 Mr Phillips is on his vacation to which each lighthouse Keeper is en- titled after three years service.

.BIG WAR FUND DRIVE
 ID COMMENCE MARCH Il

The growing interest in the coming Knights of Columbus war fund drive was greatly in evidence at the meeting held last night at the fire hall by the number that turned out, more than twenty men being in attendance. Many others, unable to attend, sent in their regrets and expressed their desire to be enrolled as active members.
 It was planned to make a drive for $75O, beginning Monday, March II, to continue till Saturday March Is. Chairman James Galen appointed TCharles NJ. ROsswog chairman of the committee to handle this drive
 The very noticeable success which has attended every effort of Mir Ross wog for the cause of "the boys is ample assurance that the contribu- tions will Ego over the top"
 During the course of the meeting, District Attorney w. A. Munley very ably and forcib1y dwelt upon the noble work being done by the Y M. C. A. and the Knights of Columbus in the camps and abroad.
 In unstinted praise he told how the ". M. c. A. recognizing the good work of the Knights of Columbus, and in a spirit of true patriotism and with the feeling that today i've are all broth CTS" united in one great cause, has taken the Knights of Columbus by the hand to work shoulder to shoulder for God and country.
 MT. Munley having three sons and three nephews at the front, very touchingly expressed the consolation and relief it is to fathers, mothers and relatives of those who have gone to fight our fight. to realize that their boys are so thoughtfu1ly cared for and surrounded by every good influence, that will bear them up in the hour of trial. Mir. Munley concluded his re- marks by heartily approving the un- dertaking of the Knights of Columbus, assuring it of success, and by placing his name as an active member of the organization.

A widespread net has been thrown

This evidence, which may be made
public soon, is understood to show
definitely that Irish leaders, mainly
Sim. Fem sympathizens in the United
States, have been in touch with Ger
man representatives who agreed to
furnish money to finance rebellion
in Ireland and possibly to send arms
and ammunition to Ireland by sub
marines or blockade runners. There
was even some discussion of the
chances of sending German soldiers to
take part in warfare on Irish soil.
The uprising was set for about this
time, when the Germans had planned
to reach the channel ports after their
great drive in France and it was be-
lieved that England would be thrown
into confusion by the German ad-
vance.
Ireland was - be- freed entirely
from British influence if possible and
the Germans counted strongly on the
Irish trouble to divert Great Britain's
attention from the fighting in France
and at the channel ports at the very
time it would be most necessary for
the country to keep calm to prevent a
! German invasion.
Information concerning these plots
has been gathered by several investi-
eating agencies Of the United States
government and turned over to the

believed to have; been ordered by
British officials at this time because it
became known that an open outbreak
was about to be precipitated. 1t was
limited today that several Sim Fem
sympathizers in the United States are
under watch for further developments
in the Irish plot.
The secret system of negotiations
had been In progress for several
months. it is understood. This tends
toAconfirm the statement from London
that the series of arrests several days
ago had no direct connection with
plans to conscript the Irish Some
information was obtained from Ger
mans now held in interment camps in
this country. There is indication also
that the seat of the German-Irish ne
gotiations was transferred at times to
other American republics.
1t was made plain here that the
United States governments interest in
the Irish plots is solely to prevent
Germany. by this method, from attack
ing co-belligerents'o of the United States
and that this government is not seek

AS soon as all the persons suspected

time. Some doubt exists as to wheth-
er these disclosures will be made in

here today were inclined to believe
that they would GENE from the British
