the front-and Americans are work

american engineers follow the
theory that the enemy guns may

BUY FOUND DEAD JUST BELOW
 THANE

Juneau, May flames Collins a 19-year-old boy born in Tennessee veil reared and industrious, is dead at Tnane and his hunting partner, named Kutchberch, is being search ed for hy the officials. The body Of Collins was found last evening by two natives secreted under a pile Of Irush back of the Treadwell pow CT nlant, just below Thant, with & 3G-30 rifle carefully deposited across his breast. The position of the body and rifle absolutely pre- clujes any suggestion that the boy suiuided, as the bullet wound enter ed from the rear of the head.
 The last seen of the Collins boy was last Friday evening when he left the Thane messhouse in com pany with a man named Kutchberch for supposedly a hunt below Thane. Tac boy carried the BO-3O riflel
 If the boy did Dot accidently run across a liquor cache and was kill ed the only other theory is that Kutchberch either murdered the boy, or accidently shot him and ran avay in panic.
 Kutchberch was seen to take the 10 o'clock ferry from Thane on Friday night. Since that date he has not been seen, but it is rumor- eG' he is at Hoonah,
 Steward Tenny speaks highly of the Collins boy, who was employed ct the messhouse. He informs the Dispatch the boy was a willing and congenial worker and evidently had good rearing.
 People knowingg Kutchberch at Thane do not speak highly of him. He was evidently of a morose dis position and was not popular with the other employees. He was H. literate.
 Commissioner Burton left for Thaue at moon to hold an inquest at 2 D. m. In the meantime an effort is being made to locate Kutch perch, who will be booked on an open charge pending g comple in Yestigation.

Editor, Daily Alaskan,

Editor, Daily Alaskan, .. Dear Sir:
 I have read with muck surprise the article in Wednesdays issue or the ALASKAN entitled School Marm Forced to Blow Back Club Funds" That the ALAS KAN should publish such one sided, story and give it a title SO uncaIled for, is beyond my under standing. I was personally in- formed by the Territorial Commis- sioner ot Education a short time since, that Miss Keenen was doing splendid work in the FairPanks school. I have also heard, through other sources that on account or her work against immoral influences she had made many enetes in Fair banks who would stcop at nothing to lnjure her. Miss Keensn haa charge of the Skagway School for two years and resigned at the enU of that time only by her own wlsh' The School Board at that time Was composed of some of our most in- telligert and respected citizens. In retaining her in the school they were supportea' by 8 majority of the people ot hte town, as at the two consecutive elections held while Rns was teaching, a member of the School Board was chosen known to be favorable to her reelection. Miss Keenan has many friends m Skagwax and in, the name of these friends, ask you to give this pro- test as conspicuous place in your paper as you gave the attack against her. . 1

DEMOCRATS CLASH
OVER ROTATION PLAN

One OF the most interesting contests
at The Democratic primaries next Sat
urday In Wilmington will be the fight
between William NJ Connolly OF tn,
Twelfth ward and John ]. Mulvena. OF
9i4 West Fourth street, Tenth ward
for Representative from the fifth Rep.
resentatlve District. For some wears
the candidate for Representative from
that district which includes the Tenth,
Eleventh and Twelfth wards. has been
named under the rotation system. At
the last election IL was the Twelfth
wards turn and consequently Mr.. Con-
nelly was nominated and elected.
Although The Tenth ward claims tha
right under the rotation system for ths
nomination this time, Mr. Connolly has
llled his name as a candidate from fhs
Twelfth ward while Mr.. Mulvena has
filed from the Tenth ward. Democrats
IN the latter ward claim that Mr.. Con-
nelly has benefited three times under
the rotation system, he being elected
twice while a resident OF the Eleventh
ward and the last time while a resi-
dent OF the Twelfth TO the House Of
Representatives and that he is now
Irying to disregard the rotation sys-

YANKEES REPULSE FOE
AT BOZOCHE-FISM
BY WEBB MILLER

Oulttu fIbSS SldH tOfTeSp0ndc0t.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Sept q (NIGHT)-Two strong
German raidng attacks between Baz-
Oches and Fismes, near Chateau-Du-
Dlable were repulsed by the Americans
early today.
Shortly after midnight the enemy
put down a heavy barrage and in the
clear starlight American Outposts saw
the Germans coming over the top
Opening up with machine guns and
rifles the Americans quickly broke up
the attack before 1t reached our lines
Then when the Germans were skelter-
ing back to their own lines, the Ameri-
can artillery laid down a barrage in
their midst, infllcting heavy casualties.
Within half an hour the enemy re-
formed his columns and re-attacked at
the same place. American snipers and
machine gunners thinned out the ad-
vanclng ranks so rapidly that the I'M
wounded Germans fed.
Every night American patrols scour
no Mans Land, hunting out German
posts. engaging in many lively sklr-
mishes and keeping constant contact
with the enemy along the whole Nesle
front
One American airplane brought down
a German observation balloon in
flames in this region.
Meanwhile, the American artillery Is

day, according to all reports re-
ceived at headquarters. The
British are progressing southeast
of Cagnicourt. They are astride
the railway west of Queant and
east of Riencourt. The enemy is
offering fierce resistance west and
northwest of Quesnt.
Ten thousand Germans were
taken prisoner during yesterdays
fighting, besides many wounded.
In the northern part of the bat
tie line American troops are sit
ting in trenches on both sides of
Ypres. Signs are everywhere Wis
ible in that region that the Ger
mans in the north are preparing
to make the best of a situation
that is rapidly growing worse.
Fires were observed last night at
Armentieres, Waneton and small
er towns in Flanders, lighting up
the eastern sky. Thousands of
German prisoners swarming down
the roads like sheep and crowding
each other into the bitches along
the sides this afternoon told the
story of Hindenburg's effort to
hold the famous line below the
Scarpe against the driving attack
of the British.
The Germans, running before
the first assault like raw recruits
and reforming later only when
masses of their own men came UP
in support, Germans screaming
with fear as the British reached
their first lines; Germans leaping
out of their dugouts and throw
ing up their hands in surrender
with the first appearance of the
Canadians; were scenes witness
ed early in the British attack.
Along the road paralleling the
ScarPe party of correspondents
at noon met such masses of dis
heratened captives as have sell
dom been seen since the beginning
of the great war.
When questioned the prisoners
frankly voiced their belief that
Germany is beaten.
