AN ACCOUNT
 IS GIVEN OUT
 WAR DETAILS
How the Germans Prepare to Resist an Assault of Allied Troops on
 Fight Front.

FRENCH FRONT, March 20.-How the Germans prepare to resist an as sault by the Allied troops who con- l tinually harry them along the entire front, is disclosed in a document which has just fallen into the hands of the French. This paper points out that it is necessary to be pre- pared for every eventuality and to establish in advance ample dumps of ammunition for several days fighting for the field and position guns as well as for the trench mortars, since will, in case the operation should be on a big scale, employ poison gas in large quantities and at the same [ time put up a barrage fire between the German front lines and their com munications with the rear.
 The essential reserve of ammuni tion for the trench mortars is laid down at 250 projectiles for each light mortar; 50 projectiles for each trench mortar of middling calibre, and 40 proiectiles for each heavy mortar The mortar emplacements should be surrounded by barbed wire entanglements and the gunners should be provided with a plentiful supply of hand -grenades for use in case the Allied troops should storm the positions.
 As to the field and position artil- lery, each battery should have on hand sufficient ordinary ammunition to last three days and a half and also have ready for use a supply of poison gas shells.
 Great stress is laid on the value of maintaining communications be- tween the infantry engaged and the staff in the rear. Each regiment is ordered to appoint an officer respon- sible for this service, whose duty shall be to reconnaitre the line oc- cupied by his regiment and frequent reports as to the situation even when no change has occurred.
 The document recalls that the French airplaines accompanying the assaulting infantry during the last battles around Verdun caused great disturbance to the Germans. It as serts that the effective results ob- tained by these avaitors were very limited, but that the morale of the German troops was considerably up- set by them. It recommends the placing of special machine-gun groups in the rear of the front lines to deal with such attacks by enemy airplanes.

WAR MEMORIES OF : THE MIDDLE AGES
 ARE BEING RECALLED

ROME, March 21.-War memories of the Middle Ages have been re- newed among the princely houses of Italy by the recent decision of the Roman civil courts condemning the old and famous families of Corsini and Barberini to restore to the young daughter of the Prince of Sciarra property rights involving a large money income, vested in the ancient day order of the Knights of Malta.
 Except among noble or Catholic families the very existence of the militant religious order of the Knight of Malt had been forgotten here, yet the decision of the court has shown that large properties still are in the possession of this order founded many centuries ago at Jerusalem and which successively controlled the is- lands of Rhodes and Malta until driven out by Napoleon.

Will Be Taken Over at Once and Turned into a Soft Drink Manufactur-
 ing Plant.
WELL KNOWN ALASKANS
H. F. SueSsdorf and Otto Herring Will Have Have Charge of
 New Plant.

s. Zynda this afternoon leased the Eagle Brewery to the Valdez Bever age Company and the latter concern will take over the plant within the next few weeks and operate it as a soft drink factory. H. F. Suessdorf and Otto Herring, of the Valdez con- cern, have been here for the past several days making the arrange ments for the lease.
 Mir. Zynda this afternoon said that on his recent trip East he purchased necessary machinery and supplies for making near beer and other soft drink products, but that on account of ill health he has been forced to make such deal as would allow him to spend some time recuperat- ing. He is as yet undecided wheth- CT to spend some time at the Hot Springs, or to leave directly for the south.
 The Valdez Beverage Company has been operating the Valdez Brewery and will in the future operate both plants. Under the terms of the lease they take over the plant, buildings, new machinery, good will and all as sets of the Eagle Brewing Company from MT. Zynda. Mir. Herring and Mr. Suessdorf, who are at the Zynda Hotel, will leave on the Admiral Far ragut for Valdez, expecting to return to Juneau within the next few weeks to start the business.
 MT. Zynda has been operating the Eagle Brewery for the past twenty years and has made a success of the business.

DECISION OF BUNNELL- ON
 EIGHT HOURS Gives Numerous Citations for His Opinion in
 Deciding Against
 the Law. REVIEWS REGENT ACT Says It Was Not Given a Second and Third Reading in the
 Legislature.
REVIEWS REGENT ACT

Ever since the news was publish ed in The Empire from a dispatch from Fairbanks that Judge Charles E. Bunnell had decided the eight hour law, passed by the Alaska Legislature, was void, there has been manifested interest to know more fully the grounds on which he based his decision. They are given more in detail in the follow ing article which appeared in the Fairbanks Citizen:
 In the district court yesterday af- ternoon Judge c. E. Bunnell rem dered his decision in the case of Commercial company, charged with the infraction of the eight hour law. The company was convicted in the lower court and fined the sum of $250. A demurrer on the findings of the lower court was presented to the district court last week, and the decision of the court was read from the bench yesterday afternoon. Seventeen closely typewriter pages were necessary to contain the re- port, and nearly an hour was occu pied in reading it.
 After making citation of the de- murrer and act, the court quotes the passing of the defendants demurrer which was on the following grounds:
 q. That the matters and things set forth in said complaint or infor nation do not constitute a crime or public offense.
 "2. That the act of the Alaska legislature under which said com plaint or information is laid and upon which it is based, to-wit, Chap ter 55 of the Session Laws of All aska for the year 1917, is uncon- stitutional and void, and is con trary to and in violation (of) the provisions of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and of Section 10 of Article 1 of the said Constitution of the United States and the act of Con- gress of March 4th, 1907, relating to Interstate Commerce.
 "3. That said purported act of the Alaska Legislature, under which the above prosecution is had, to-wit, Chapter 55 of the Session Laws of Alaska for the year 1917, was not passed in accordance with the pro- visions of Section 13 of the Organic Act, under and by virtue of which said Alaska legislature was created and performs it's functions; all of which is shown by the Journals of said Legislature, to which reference is hereby specially made, the said particulars in which said section 13 of said Organic Act was violated be- ing as follows, to-wit:
 "(a) That in the Senate the said bill was not read a second time, and after it had been amended by a Conference Committee was not passed in the manner prescribed by law
 "(b) That in the House of Repre- once, was never given a second or third reading, and was never passed by said House of Representatives"
 The court further stated that ju- dicial notice might be taken of the Session Laws of 1915 in which the attempt was made to authorize or direct the enactment of Chapter 55 of the Session Law of 1917 at "the next general election held, for the purpose of electing the members of

the next legislature" in which the enactment of such law was left to the wish of the people. The Or ganic act for the Territory of Alas ka, approved August 24, 1912, con tains no provisions, through the ini- taitive for obtaining an expression of the electors of the territory con corning proposed legislation, so it is apparent that wholly unauthor- ized act of the Territorial Legisla- ture of 1915 to ascertain by ballot the views of the electors was not binding upon the next succeeding snumed to bind the courts. When a legislature thus attempts to act entirely beyond the scope of the Or eanic act or constitution which gives it life, there is at least sus- picion that it was actuated by some undisclosed motive
 Much was contained in the docu- ment on the ambiguous word con- structiOn of the law as passed, the court stating: Although ably assist fess myself unable to find, and counsel are unable to produce, any act of any legislative body in the United States which, from the standpoint of word construction, be- longs in class with this act It is fairly entitled to the unique dis tinction of being alone though in a multitude" In passing on the penal section of the act, which says: Any person, persons, association or corporation who shall violate or cause to be violated any of the pro- visions of this act, shall be guilty of misdemeanor," the court makes the observation that the words i'agent," manager" or employer" are omitted, and states: This is indeed significant and compels the belief as heretofore indicated that the legislature deliberately intend ed to exclude the employed"
 In making his citation the court
 
 preme court, in which decision that that court has determined: First: Labor is property" Citation of the Slaughter House cases, 83 U. s. 36; second, "The general right to make contract in relation to his business is part of the liberty pro- tected by the Fourteenth Amend ment, and this includes the right to purchase and sell labor except as controlled by the state in the legiti- mate exercise of it's police power"
 Many other citations of the same tenor were given. The court, in conclusion. states: Some other questions have been raised by the demurrer, but I do not consider it necessary to pass upon them at this time. An examination of the Jour nals of both the House and Senate discloses the fact that the procedure leading up to the approval of the Act was, to say the least, irregular.
 'I am satisfied beyond all doubt that Chapter 55 of the Session Laws or 1917 is plainly and palpably be- yond all question in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Con stitution of the United States. l am also of the opinion that it is class legislation and prohibited.
 "The demurrer is therefore sus- tained."
 The findings of the district court will be made known to the Attor- ney General and no appeal will be taken unless upon his authorization.
