No survivors" read a wireless message today from Juneau. Alaska. telling of the loss. Shipping men to- night said the loss of the Sophia with all aboard was the worst marine dis aster in the history of the Pacific coast.
 The vessel. 2,S2O tons gross. has been plying in western Canadian and southeastern Alaska waters since she was built in 1912.
 Lists of passengers and details of the wreck were not available tonight. The vessel. it was thought. was carry ing a capacity load of passengers. nearly all nOrtheTners, who had taken the last steamboat up the Yukon river before the ice and had boarded the Sophia at Skagway. The passengers were among the hundreds who left Alaska this fall to spend the winter in the states and Canada. They had come as far as Whie Horse by river boat and there had boarded trains for the Alaska port.

 and Victoria. Not many hours out she ran into one of the first snow storms of the year. Early Thursday. in the dark and storm. she ran hard aground on Vanderbilt reef. Distress calls were sent out and the United States lighthouse tender Cedar. the United States government steamer Peterson and several small boats went to her assistance. When day light came it was found the boat was resting easier and the weather calm. and it was decided not to remove the passengers. Word was sent to Van couver and the wrecking steamer Tees and the c. P. R. steamer Princess Alice were sent north. the wrecker to pull the Sophia off the reef and the Alice to get the passengers. These ships will arrive at the scene tOmOr- row.
 The storm sprang up yesterday and the winds whipped down the long. narrow Lynn canal with hurricane force. The Sophia. in the path of the gale. was pounded against the rocks. On account of the danger of strand ing. the nearby ships did not dare go near her. Life-boats were impossible. although the shore was not many yards away. Last night the gale in- creased in fury and probably while many of the passengers slept. lifted the steamer up. dragged her across the reef and sent her to the bottom.
 The only definite word from the north regarding the wreck came to- day when the Canadian wireless serv- ice at Victoria picked up the follow ing message froh the United States station at Juneau:

VALENCIENNES IS READY ID FALL
 TO BRITISH ARMS
Seems Certain Town Cannot Hold Out Much Longer in Face of Heavy Attacks Made by Tommies

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Oct 26, p. m., (By the Associated Press.) - Heavy fighting continued today in the Valenciennes area, particularly along the Rhonelle river, south of that city. The enemy was battling grimly this morning to retard the British advance, which from its speed threatened to bottle up Valenciennes before it's de- lenders could withdraw.
 It seemed certain today that Valen- ciennes could not hold out much long CT Yesterday the British drove for ward across the Le Quesnoy-Valen- ciennes railway, the Germans being forced to withdraw from their strong positions and fall back to new de- lenses along the Rhonelle. Le Cues noy was closely besieged this morn ing by the attacking forces.
 Southward the British army had pushed forward a considerable dis tance and forced its way through Englefontaine after severe fighting.
 The British attack north of Valen- ciennes had carried them forward to an average depth of two miles. The villages of Moen and Heestert were captured and Spichtestraat and Driech approached and the troops which stOrmed Moen pushed on to the line of the river at Bossuet and Autryve. From statements of prisoners and lib erated civilians it would appear that the Germans intended to hold along the present line around Valenciennes only long enough to complete the pre- paration of the defenses along the Maubege and Mons line to which they will retire shortly. Civilians report that troops were set to work on this line some time ago.
 There was a battle in the Artres- Famars sector, just south of Valen- ciennes British cyclist patrols reached Artres at o'clock in the aft ernoon. The Germans threw in a wig orous counter attack along consider able front, but their advanced troops were forced to fall back to the line of the railway. West of Famars the enemy made another fierce counter attack; they came up against Scotch Highlanders who not only repulsed

PARIS IS ExPEcTANT

PARIS, Oct. 26 (Havas) The fall of Valenciennes is imminent, if not already occurred, the Petit Parisien says: "The chief strong hold of the second German line is gone, its center invested. It is the object of direct assaults and local outflanking movements which will soon smash it." the pa- per continues, "The operations of General Debeney's army north of Guise and those of General Man gin in the direction of Marie, con stitute an increasing danger. The Escaut line may be considered as lost; the Sambre line will De taken shortly. We can foresee that the enemy will retreat to the Mouse"
 The Matin says:
 "The German army has no ma tcriaI, lacks munitions. has not sufficient reserves to continue long battle and has no tanks with which to attack. The spirit in the enemy rear is at low level while the spirit at the front is bad. This has been proven by army orders which have fallen into our hands. We would be false to our ideals if we failed to take advantage of the situation.

TANKS DOING NOT So BAD REPORT

Forty Villages Taken to Date, 10000 Wounded Prisoners and 487 Square Kilometegs Freed
rRv Revlew I.eased Wlrel

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN. Oct. 26 (By the Associated Press) S:30 D. m.-The Geiman efforts to break up lately improved positions of the Americans, were lessened somewhat today. From the eX- trCme left to right, artillery was employed. but without materially altering the situation. High eX- plosive shells ana gas shells were thrown over the front lines and far into the back areas, but no attempt was made 10 counter at tack on a large scale and the few minor movements of the enemy were brought to a swift end by concentrated artillery and ma chine gun fire.
 Since the Americans began the present battle they have inflicted more than 10000 casualties on the enemy. freed forty villages and 4S7 square kilOmeters of French territory (e luiyalent to 304 square miles) ana have captured 10000 prisoners besides the German wounded who fell into their hands.
