former president OF the New York,
New Haven, and Hartford railroad
Company, testified in probate court

Mellen, struck at him with mar
bic egg when he spoke to her about
the condition OF the home and that

wardcd off the blow with his open
hand and caused her nose to bleed.
Mr. Mellen testified that his two
younger daughters lounged about

which he did not think was proper
for children whose parents had as
much wealth as theirs.

ing apart from Mrs Mellen, who, he
claims, deserted him. He also seeks
the right to transfer his property

Offensive operations toward Metz
strike at one OF the most important
German bases in the West. The
city was the twenty-eighth encir-
cling forts comprise what has been
regarded as one OF the most formid-
able fortreSSes in the world. Metz
also is the center OF important iron
fields, which before the war sup
piled France and Germany with
more than two-thirds of the ore
used by their iron manufacturers.
Metz is on the Moselle 10 ID
miles east of the French border. The
city lays astride the MoSelle river
as well as on both sides OF the
Seille. Part OF the city is on islands
in the Moselle. To the east, north
and northwest are the iron and coal
fields OF French and German Lor-
rainc. Deprived OF these fields Ger
many could not conduct the war an
other three months, it is asserted.
The chief iron fields on the
Rhine district is that of Lorraine,
including the BaSSin de Briey, (the
center OF which is the little viii
lage OF Briey), the greatest iron pro-
ducing region in the world. 1t is
located mainly in Alsace-Lorraine
and overlaps into Belgium and Lux
emburg. 1t extends along the
Franco-German frontier for thirty
five miles, almcst up to Pont-a-
MouSSon.

LETTERS TELL OF
DEATH OF LIEUT..
GEORGE ANDERSON

Among the many letters received
by DR.. and Mrs. ]. l.. Cox after the
death OF their son, Lieut.. George X.
Anderson, who was killed in action
July p, is one from Lieut.. w. Il.
George, Jr, as follows: Il wish to
write You line in regard to your son
who was killed in action recently.
Tells of Anderson's Death
Your boy died in my arms and
God never put finer man on this
earth. had been closely connected
with him for months and can say
he was loved by his men and Of
ficerS. He was efficient as well as
kind-hearted and was a shining ex-
ample for every American boy to
follow.
His death broke me up more
than any other in France for he was
my pal. am just getting out OF
the hospital myself and thought [
had better write before going back
to the front.
We were on the edge of wood
and had been working night and day
when George was hit He died in a
few minutes and like a man, and |
cried like baby. His body is five
kilometerS out OF Chateau Theiry
on the Chateau Thiery-Metz road.
In this great grief have comfort
for you shall meet your wonderful
boy in the future"
Gives Location of Grave.
A letter from Lieut.. Edward l..
King follows:
at was shortly alter our infantry
had been relieved, probably the 10Th
OF last month, when | had been sent
back to our artillery, when Tesse,
with his naturally, possibly the most,
sunny face in the world now in
tears asked me should he write you.
! told him TO do so by all means
and determined to write myself,
which | did, but due to forced
marches and the attendant confu-
sion, the letter was lost.
Having been with Andy in a rath-
er dangerous position on the curve
at the La Reian sector, near Toul,
and knowing intimately and claim
ing his friendship, am honored to
share in your sad sacrifice.
Mrs. Cox, tears in the eyes OF
the men who served under him. and
sorrow in the hearts of his brother
officers, were great tributes to the
qualities OF your son, in those days
when there were thousands of dead
around, unknown and unmourned,
and when life was too uncertain to
give them the last rites.
But | attended Andy's funeral, |
together with Lieutenant George,
who was with him when he was
struck and until the burial. Due to
Lieutenant Georges physical condi-
tion, he was sent TO the hospital ten
minutes after the funeral and was
almost in a state of coma at the |
time so would probably not re-
member the location OF the grave as
well as |. but could give the facts
concerning the death much more ac-
curately.
The grave is easily located, on
the main Chateau-Thierry-S Scissors
highway. about six kilometers due
north Of Chateau Thierry is a farm,
Ia Sacerie. This is at the junction
pf two roads. The grave is near this
junction, as shown in the sketch"

SON"
From Lieutenant Porter.
Another comrade, Lieut.. Ernest c.
Porter, writes: Il feel that it is my
duty to write YOU and tell you about
Anderson and his unfortunate death
which happened around July IS in
the Iruguy woods. First let me ex-
press my sympathy and remind YOU
that he died for the most glorious
thing in the word-Freedom and
DemOcracy-none can realize what
this means as much as those who
were up to the line from the first
and have lasted through it all.
Anderson and myself were first
acquainted at Coequedon, Jan. |.
when we first joined the 102nd regi-
ment. He being from the south, as
was |, and both put into a Yankee
division, we naturally became fond
Of each other. We passed through
the scraps at Scissor and Toul and
then went to Chateau Thierry, July
|. Anderson and myself were in
the same battery, then Z battery. We
began the drive and after few davs
Andy was called as a laison Of
iicer with the infantry. He was thor
oughly enthusiastic over the work.
We had telephone lines strung back
to the battery and we'd blast every
machine gun nest he could find.

fire from 2 to a. m. on this town
and the surrounding woods About

and couldn't leave the battery, as

"The chaplain came to me in the
afternoon and told me he held serv-

Nov that it is all over must say
that you all should do like the SOL

JOB PRINTING
 OF AL kINDo DAILY NUGGET OFFICE
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

Commencing May 1. the Nome Daily Nugget and also the Daily Nome Indus- trial Worker will be issued as tri- weekly papers The Nugget will be is- sued on Monday. Wednesday and Fri day evenings the Worker appearing sn the alternate days, Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday. also in the evening By way of explanation to our patrons, the Nugget wishes to state that the change from D daily to 8 tri-weekly paper is necessitated by existing con- ditlons over which the management has no control. War conditions have resulted in the costs of paper and other material employed in publication advancing as much as four hundred per cent during tho past year. with still greater advances in prospect.
 An additional factor involv. ed in the contemplated change is that the papers have suffered a serious cur tailment in the volume of subscriptions as 8 result of the lowering of the pop. ulation and have also failed to receive the advertising support essential to continuing daily publications. In ar- irving at tho stated decision tho papers were compelled to consider either an advance in the subscription and ad- vertisement prices or the alternative of affecting saving by reducing the number Of issues After careful tle- liberation of the question by the rep- resentatives of both papers, it was de- cided that m increase in the subscrip- ton price would hardly meet with public favor at this time and 1t was, therefore, decided to reduce tho num- Der of issues. Although appearing on alternate days, the change does not imply that the public will be deprived of the present quantity of world new s provided. There will be no reduction In the volume of telegraphic news matter published and the public will receive fully as much for its money as WAS heretofore the case. The only differ ence will be that 1t will be received on alternate days instead of daily, as al present. As there will be no reduc' tion in tho news service provided D, both papers. tho subscription md ad vertisins prices win remain the sam' as before in the clse of each paper.
 Both papers greatly regret thnt con ditons have conspired to force sus pension of daily issue. Had the read ing and advertising public been nor, liberal in supporting daily publication the change might have been avoided but under existing conditions tho pub fishers are left no alternative but t, proceed as stated, by issuing ever. other day.
