SULzER'S POSITION ON
 EICHT-HOUR LAW DEFINED
 IN TELEGRAM FROM HIM

There never has been any question concerning the stand of Charles A. Sulzer Delegate from Alaska to Con- gress, on the eght-hour wage subject, by those who know him. He was one of the first to adopt the eight hour schedule in his mine and did it voluntarily How ever, political enemies who know different have not hes tated to msrepresent his stand the hopes that would rebound to their benefit among the workers. To- day the following telegram received from Mr. Suzer: Washington, D. C., March 1, 1918
 Hon. William E. Britt, Juneau Alaska.
 Eight hour law was referred to Governor of Alaska Immediately after suspension agitation started For obvious reasons 1t would be very lm- proper for Delegate to interfere in premises at this time. Have always favored eght-hour prn- ciple, and never operated on any other basis.

FIRE IS MOST ACCURATE
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, March 1. - Swift re. tribution has fallen upon the Ger man batteries which this week bom- barded the American trenches northwest of Foul with poisoned gas shells.
 The American gunners of the heavy artillery concentrated their fire upon the German Minenwerfer batteries half an hour yesterday, md obliterated the position.
 Air and other observers signal ed that they made many direct hits with highly explosive shells. Tim 5ers and trench-ined splinters were thrown high in the air with the great clouds of earth.
 Most probably the American ex- olosive shells ignited German ammu- hilton and gas shells, resulting in still greater destruction. The earth vas churned about the German bat teries in such way that if any of the enemy remained, they must have suffered heavy casualties.
 Six Americans have died thus far from the effects of the poisoned gas attacks. Eighty more are in the hospital suffering from the poi. son. Most of these cases, however, are slight, one man only being re- ported in a serious condition.
 Aeroplane photographs aided the American gunners in accurately To- eating and destroying the German gas batteries.
 American patrols were all over "no- man's-land" last night, but fail ed to encounter any Germans.
 The American sector is now on ocean of mud, and constant work is necessary to keep the trenches and gun pits and dugouts free from wa ter. The Germans apparently are improving their positions.
