Ship Builders Find
More Pep" and Vigor
in Milk Than in Beer

Seattle, Wash.-Ten thousand pint
bottles of milk every day at noon
pass the lips of boilermakers. riveters
and all the many tradesmen here who
are riveting the coffin of the German
Emperor.
These 10000 bottles are sold one by
one to husky, healthy men who have
no wish to go back to the old days of
beer and whisky. Their work exacts
a heavy toll on physical strength. and
these workers find milk puts pep
and vigor into them
The only reason the upward OF
1900 workers do not consume 10000
to 5000 bottles Of milk daily is be-
cause the supply Is limited. Every
day the stock is exhausted. Milk con-
sumption in the steel yards has in
creased 90 per cent In the last twelve
months
Jhe change from beer to milk has
been a mighty good thing for every
body concerned" remarked W. r
Bailey, who has worked in shipyard
pattern shops for thirty years.
Things are different now. These men
who are drinking milk have clean
skin. clear vision and clear minds.
They are able TO do fair days work
every day and can make a little extra
effort when necessary. That's old
stuff about beer being necessary for
the working man."

Seattle. Wash.-Following her A.
nal voyage Bristol Bay points on
the northeastern Alaska coasts. the
staunch little steamship Dora, which
has piled CO. inuously on this route
for the last fifteen years, will be
withdrawn from the service, ac-
cording to announcement of the
Alaska Steamship Company. owners
of the craft. The Dora is known as
the craft that always came back"
During all these years the Dora
has been the only connecting link
with the outside world the little set
Elements in. the Arctic zone have
had. The Dora carried mail and
supplies between Seward and Bristol
Bay settlements.
Now the government has refused
to renew the mail contracts with the
Alaskan Steamship company at an
advanced rate which the concern
declares is necessary to meet the
increased cost of operation during
war times. Withdrawal of the
Dora will practically cut of those
far northern ports from regular
service. and only during the summer
months. when an occasional cannery
craft may put in, will the settle
ments be in communication with the
outside"

Rupprecht OF Bavaria. and It will
be kept up until the Germans are
driven to the old ,Hindenburg line
to which they retreated in the spring
Of 1917.
Huns Must Strike Again.
As soon as the Germans recover
from the defeat suffered in the pres
ent Franco-American offensive in the
Soissons-Rheims sector they will
launch a new blow. which Is ex-
pected 70 fall on the British front
betweet pres and Amiens. This
new attack by Prince Rupprecht's
armies is absolutely imperative un-
less Ludendorff wishes to confess to
the German press that the battle
for Paris has been a crushing Ger
man defeat.
1t must come soon, for already
, 1,250,000 Americans are in France.
and before September 1 their num-
Der will be more than a million and
a half.
Foch is waiting for that drive.
When it comes he will counter
attack as he counter attacked this
month, but the new offensive will
be on a far greater scale. 1t will
extend from Ypres as far south as
the present fighting front. and 1t
may be extended into Alsace, where
American troops hold the greater
part of the front.
Halt on Old Line.
This counter drive will not stop,
critics here believe, until the Huns
have been driven back to their
strongly-fortified positions on the
old Hindenburg line running
through Cambrai. st. Quentin and
La Fere to Rheims. This line is
from five to fifty miles back of
the present front. When the Ger
mans reach IT. as they reached it
last year, the allies will halt and
prepare for the great drive of 1919.
