The foregoing dispatch means more for Wrangell and South eastern Alaska than is realized at this time.
 The spruce branch of the lum- Der industry is increasing in im- portance daily In 1918 there will be large output of spruce timber which will materially in- crease the volume of business for Wrangell and Southeastern Alaska.
 As the Sentinel has several times pointed out, the white spruce of Southeastern Alaska is highly adaptable for aeroplane manufacture. It has the neces- sary qualifications to withstand vibration, pressure and strain, and its fine close grain makes it superior in strength to ordinary spruce timber. The popular con- struction of French, English and American aircraft for military purposes requires tough frame work, and for this type selected spruce is used throughout.
 The specifications submitted by the aeroplane manufacturers call for clear, straight-grained spruce; flat or vertical grain; five inches and over wide; one foot, three inches and over thick; though better prices are obtained for that eighteen inches wide and two feet thick.
 It is from Zarembo, Prince of Wales, and Admiralty Islands, near Wrangell, that the greatest amount of white spruce is found in Alaska. Nowhere north of the Straits of Juan de Fuca are such excellent growths to be found.

Fuel Order
Cuts Brewing
SO Per Cent
Coal Restrictions for One
Year Announced by
Director Garfield

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Brewing Of
beer and the manufacture of "near
beer" will be curtailed so per cent
through fuel restrictions in the yea,
which began July 1, according to &
joint announcement late to-day by Fue
Administrator Garfield and Chairman
Baruch Of the War Industries Boaro
after the weekly meeting of the Presi-
dents war cabinet.
The fuel restrictions, amounting tc
so per cent. will include fuel of all
kinds and will be based on the average
annual consumption between January
l, 1915, and December 81, 1917. The
order applies to brewers of beer, ale
porter and other cereal beverages anc
to the manufacture Of non-alcoholiC
cereal beverages.
The curtailment, while effective only
for one year, was regarded in some
quarters as the forerunner Of further
restrictions within the year.
Application of the order to the manu-.
facture of non-alcoholic cereal bever'
ages placed the restriction strictly
upon a fuel-saving basis.
Brewers may combine plants, in or

After a violent bombardment, the

Czecho-SIau Gains
Rouse Allies to Neu
Hopes for Russia

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Unexpect-
ed development Of strength by the
Czecho-Slovak bands which are making
their way across the Siberian plains
from European Russia has arrested
the attention Of officials here and
formed the basis Of earnest confer
ences among the diplomatic represen-
tat!ves Of the Entente Powers.
Official reports received to-day con-
frmcd and ampliiied press dispatches
that the Czecho-Slovacks had taken
over administration of the Pacific
port Of Vladivostok after overcoming
armed opposition by the Bolsheviki in
a battle in which there was consider
able loss of life. The significance Of
this. as seen by officials, lies in the
fact that there is now a real nucleus
in Siberia for the gathering Of the
various elements which have revolted
against Bolshevik controL and sur
render to German influences.
Valuable Aid to Allies
While it is by no means certain that
the Entente Allies or America are dis
posed at present, at least, to take ad-
vantage of the situation thus created
to begin military campaign in that
quarter, it is regarded as a valuable
asset in the solution Of the problem
that through this unprompted action
the Czecho-Slovaks have definitely
halted the spread of German control
to the Eastern coast Of Siberia and
further assured the safety from Ger
man seizure Of the vast store of mil
itary supplies at Vladivostok and vi
cinity.
If the Czecho-S Slovaks effect a juno
ton in purpose, if not physically. with
other elements now in revolt In Siberia
and European Russia, 1t Is believed
