 The loss is about S4,OOO including building. fixtures and merchandise, and is completely covered by insur- ance. The Ketchikan Brokerage ant Insurance company is handling the insurance.
 Mir. Benson, who left Metlakatla on his launch directly after the fire. arrived in Ketchikan early to report the loss to the company, and stated that he was at loss to know how the fire started as there had been o fires in the store on Sunday and no one had been near the premises all day.
 MT. Benson took out his insurance just week ago, at the request of friends who warned him of the dan ger of leaving his goods unprotect- ed. The store is far from MT. Ben sons residence and near the beach. Afte- a settlement has been made, MT. Benson expects to rebuild again and continue his business in the same location.

SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS.
COMPARATIVE QUIET PREVAILS
ON BATTLE FRONT.
German Drive Seems to Have Reached
Its Idmit-Men No Longer Thrown
Against Allies Without Regard to
Loss.
ASSOCIATED. Press.l

With the passing Of the 18th day
OF the new battle Of the Somme, there
came increasing evidence that the
great German machine with which IL
was intended to crush the allied line
has almost utterly spent itself.
Khere previously the Germans had
thrown men into the fray. not count
ing the prodigious wastage in killed
or wounded Tuesday saw them de-
cline anywhere to give battle. On
the contrary. in what little fighting
occurred the British and French
troops took the initiative.
Thus 1t seems apparent, with the
reserve forces Of the entente virtually
intact and with the added weight
General Pershing's troops will give
them. the turn in the tide of the bat
tie Is at hand.
While admittedly both the French
and British armies have suffered
rather severe casualties their re-
serves have been conserved with the
utmost care behind the lines and all
along the British and French COM
manders have not left outside their
calculations that a staunch band of
Americans exceeding 100000 men are
anxious to lend aid in the task of de-
feating the Germans.
Daily the German losses in men
Killed or wounded continue to aug
nent as details are obtained from the
Germans made prisoners, Some di-
visions lost as high as 20 per cent. of
their effectiveness as they charged in
mass formation against the British
and French machine gunners and
rifiemen. Companies withdrew from
tho fghting with their combative
strength reduced to 40 men.
The latest accounts OF the fighting
from the various war chancellories
show no new important change In the
battle front. Only minor operations
took place on that portion Of the
front south of Arras held by the Brit
ish. and little aside from artillery
duels occurred between the French
and the Germans on the lower end
OF the line. The fighting between the
big guns was particularly heavy be-
tween Montdidier and Moyon where
the battle line bends eastward and
which Is q spot of great Importance
tc the Germans as the breaking
through by the French would neces-
state rapid withdrawal of the Ger
mans eastward from the Amiens Sec
tor.
Although the Germans have been
bombarding British positions In Bel
glum. particularly at Ypres, there is
no indication as yet that an infantry
attack 10 contemplated. In addition
to the continuation Of their lombard :
ment Of Paris with their long range
gun the Germans again have endeav-
ored TO drop bombs on the French
capital from airplanes.
Bad weather again Is hindering op-

there has been considerable patrol ac-

lery duels Of some violence over the
whole front from Lake Garda to the
