COST OF WHISKEY IN SEATTLE KEEPS GOING
 UP ALL THE TIME

The housewife certainly should be the last one in the world to kick about the increased and in- creasing cost of things. Consider the plight of the consumer of alec. holic drinks, say whiskey, for in- stance! says The Seattle Times.
 It costs, in Seattle today, accord ing to the carefully kept tab of the Dry Squad division of the Police Department, $6 to $7 per quart for whiskey purchased in drug store and from $8 to $10 per quart when bought of a bootlegger.
 That's only the regular market price. If mans in a hurry, or possessed of "frightful' thift, or must have it for party" well the sky's the limit on the price he will, and does, pay. One man, relating his experience to Dry Squad patrolman, said:
 "A man came into my hotel room saw quart bottle of six-year-old whiskey and offered me $14 for it, saying he was willing to pay double the market price because he need ed it so badly I am not boot legger, but that price looked so at tractive that the sale was made on the spot

Took Place When the Bol- sheviki Supporters
 Took Charge of
 Headquarters.
HE DIED AS A SOLDIER
lis Friends Tried to Save Him from the Angry Mob, but He Was
 Obdurate.

PARIS, Feb GA vivid picture of the circumstances of the mur der, by infuriated Bolshevini, of General Dukhonin, formerly com nander-n-chief of the Russian army, is given by the Petrograd correspondent of The Matin, who apparently was an eyewitness of the tragedy. According to his story Ensign Krylenko, the Bolsheviki commander-in-c chief, endeavored to save General Dukhonin from the mob but his efforts were unavail- ing and the Russian command 1T was struck down by sailor and then run through with a dozen bay. onets.
 The murder took place after the ,olsheviki had captured the head quarters of the Russian army at Mohilev and followed General Duk- lonin's refusal to request the Ger trmistice with the Bolsheviki. The General was on board train when he mob surrounded him. Accord ng to The Mathis correspondent he General appeared at the window of his railway carriage.
 Throw us your epaulettes hrieked the soldiers, Cor we'll kill you,' and they shouldered their rifles.
 Krylenko begged the general to give way to them, but Dukhonin refused
 "They can go to the deuce," he ,ried. Let them kill mel"
 A bullet whistled by, breaking l. he window, then a second. Gen aral Odintzoff went up to Dukhon- II and gently took off his epau- cites. They were thrown to the mob and were quickly torn to pieces md for moment he thought he vas saved. Then a handful of sail DTS jumped into the carriage. They ,eized Dukhonin by the shoulders and pushed him to the end of the coach and then on to the platform Krylenko ran after them. The general's appearance caused a great uproar

Is Admitted by a German General That French Did Considerable
 Damage.
LARGE CANNON BURST
The Germans Lost a Num- Der of Guns by Wear ing Out of the
 Large Ones.

FRENCH FRONT, Dec. 14. Cor respondence of The Associated Press). General Ludendorff re- garded by the Entente Allies as the master-mind of the German army, pays an unintentional compliment to the accuracy of French artillry- men in a memorandum issued to the troops on October 4 which has just been made available to the correspondent of The Associated Press.
 In this document he admits that the French gunners by their coun ter-battery fire destroyed in one of a month eighty-three German field guns and seventy-two heavy cannon, while they seriously dam aged and put out of action also 282 fieId-guns and 213 heavy cannon, as well as ninety-one field guns and fifty-nine heavy cannon slightly i'm iured but capable of being repaired and used again in a short time.
 To these imposing figures of ar tillery losses caused by the French gunners the same German army in the same period of time had the modification of alling an almost equally large number of losses brought about by the wearing out or bursting of guns. In this way seventy-three field guns and twenty one heavy cannon were destroyed; 164 field guns and 129 heavy guns seriously damaged and 177 field guns and ninety-one heavy guns slightly damaged.
 The memorandum was issued to the German army by General Lu- dendorff because his artillery off cers had argued repeatedly in fa- vor Of making counter-battery work secondary to attacks on infantry and communications. They assert ed the French artillery directed their guns more generally against the German infantry than against the artillery batteries. The figures collated by the German general demonstrate the falsity of this ar gument and show the French de- termination to prevent the Ger man guns, as far as possible, from being used against the French in.

ATTEMPT IS MADE
 TO KILL CONTROLLER

MONTREAL, Feb. 7.-Controller Villineuve narrowly escaped death at the hands of strange man with dagger as he was about to enter his residence.
 As the Controller had one foot on a step to enter the house the man struck him from behind with a dagger. The point of the weapon penetrated the left side of his neck, and was within a quarter of an inch of the vein. With the dagger still clenched in his hand the as- sailant turned and ran.
 One of two threatening letters recently received by the Controller intimated that his death would fol- low If there were any more prose- cutions of houses of ill fame and places with gambling machines in them.

With a single blow the general was struck down by tall sailor from the rebel cruis- IT Aurora. Dukhonin got on his eet again once, his face streaming with blood. He tried to speak but l dozen bayonets were run through him, and then blows and kicks were rained upon his body.

 General Ludendorff in concluding his memorandum points out that by counter-battery work not only is the enemy's artillery destroyed or put out Of action, but the opponent is forced to considerable extent to turn his attention away from the loings of the enemy's infantry which is thus able to maneuvel with greater ease.

"blockading" of the port of New
York, the "raiding" of Boston and At

in cellars, fearful of raids, the pas
sengers declared. Allied soldiers
laughed at the pamphlets, while
