MAN ATTACKED BY BEAR
 ON THE ESTER TRAIL

Reports from Fairbanks indicate that Martin Harkeson, who was a passenger to Nenana on the Victory, had an exciting adventure with a bear on the trail between Ester and the Ohio roadhouse.
 Harkeson started to make the journey to Nenana on foot and when a little way out of Ester ran on to a bear with cubs. The mother bear immediately charged Harkeson, who was unarmed, and he promptly climed a nearby tree, leaving his pack on the ground. The bear then proceeded to tear the pack to pieces, which she is reported to have done very thoroughly. Having appeased her vengeance, the bear disappeared into the woods, leaving Harkeson free to leave his perch and make his way to town, minus his pack.

DIXIE QUEEN MAY TRANSPORT COURT PARTY
Launch Dixie Queen May Convey Courthouse Party to Yukon
 Town Soon.

Reports received from Fairbanks are to the effect that Commissioner De Vane's launch Dixie Queen is still in Fairbanks and that she may leave the upper town on Saturday on her homeward voyage.
 It is also stated that the court house party may take passage on the Dixie Queen for Ruby, but this had not been definitely decided as yet.
 Owing to the fact that the Ameri- can Yukon Navigation company will have no available steamer to take the party down river for some little time to come, it is probable that the journey will be made on Com missioner De Vane's boat.

PARIS.-The fighting along the Mondidier-Noyon line continued fu- riously throughout the night and is still in progress today. A violent attack on the French left wing followed the first advance, but the Germans were beaten off. Rein forced by reserves, the Germans have made slight additional progress, having reached the southern part of Guvilly wood, but they appear to be securely held at that point.

MORE DAMAGE
 REPORTED FROM
 NENANA CROSSING
Greater Damage Than Reported Said to Have Been Sustained
 By Big Bridge. :..-

Late arrivals in town from Ne mana Crossing (43-miie) hrlng re- ports of considerable more damage to the big bridge spanning he river at this point, than reported in these columns by the recen- floods.
 Three of the main rlers which were intended to carry the trusses are said to have been carried away as we'll as seven of the trestle ap- breaches to the bridge on each side of the river.
 It was the intention of the Com- mission officials to erect a tempor- ary superrructure over the piers and approaches for the purpose of freighting needed supplies and ma terials across the river, and 't is ex- pected that this scheme will now have to be abandoned until the piers and approaches can be replaced
 Mr. Frederick D. Browne, engineer in charge of this division, is author ity for the statement that it would be impossible to erect wooden bridge of a permanent character across the river at this point and that it is the intention of the Com mission to erect permanent s.ael bridge here as soon as the necessary structural steel for it's construction can be obtained and hauled to the spot over the Government line.
 Mir Browne indicated that trouble and damage to the bridge from floods is expected and will be met as they occur from time to time until the steel bridge is erected.
 Many contractors who had been awarded grading contracts on sec tions of the right of way lying across the river towards Lignite are still in town awaiting an opportunity to get to their working places and com mence operations.

PARIS.-As predicted by numer- ous of the military observers, the Germans have resumed their offens- i've operations, in what appears to be a continuation of their effort to reach Paris. The attack started at an early hour yesterday morning along a twenty-mile front between Montdidier and Noyon and by night the Germans had advanced their positions an average distance of two miles and half, and now occupy the towns of Rosens, Suratz and Mareuil, to the southwest of Noyon. The loss of these villages is admitted by the French war office.

THE WORLD CONFLICT.

Reports from the world war front up to last evening left no room 10 doubt that the Germans. while they had advanced from their position at the beginning of the drive: were getting the worst of the struggle. And that despite the fact that they had taken the first British line. The latter had never figured otherwise than to withdraw 10 their second or possibly their third line after reducing the enemy strength. They had expected the Germans would throw their al- most entire strength in order to break through with the hope of creating panic.
 History will tell that the raids and other at tacks or the French ard American lines prior to the beginning of the offensive were mere decep- tions to keep the Allies from massing their for ces and oppose them. The Boches evidently figured they would go through the British lines without much resistance: but their stupidity has cost them possibly million men or more with comparatively little loss to the British and none at all for the French great armies which may jump in any moment and finish the Boches: and should they fail the Americans will have to be reckoned with at the finish.
 From distance it looks as though the Ger mans had played their trump card against four t,usher. with the result that the wasting of that trump card leaves them now to face a real good hand. No wonder the German newspapers yes terSlay were preparing the people for 8 reverse in the fortune ot their armies. But while they are about ., they might do well to prepare their burial grounds Of course this may have to be revised: nevertheless. that is the way the situa- ton looks today.
