GOAL CARGO IF. BRIGHTER Is
 BEING UNLOADED QUITE RAPIDLY

about eight longshoremen here, ana in order to supply full crews for tre work, the White Pass were com pelled to bring over number or men from the various sections acros the line to do the work.
 While there is a federal law that labor cannot be brought into the United States on contract in competl tion with American labor, ruling was obtained from the Department of Labor permission was obtained bJ the White Pass to bring over from time to time, as the necessity oc- cured, such men as might be neces' sary to unload ships so as not to cause unnecessary delay which would occasion financial loss and delay to the ship owners.
 Upon receipt of this ruling from the Department of Labor, enough men have been brought here to mako up sufficient shifts to work both holds of the vessel continu- ously, and it is thought that the work of unloading will be accom- DIished in record time.
 That this was an urgent case was hown Dy the fact that the raj way company was running low in its supply of coal, and the further fact that Skagway was nearing 8 coal famine, for some time past the railway company having the o4ly coal obtainable.

War Review By
j. w. T. Mason

New York, Aug. 21.-Marshal
Foch's steady encroachment upon
the hill barriers protecting Won
Hindenburss southern Picardy
front, has reached the point
where the allies are able to OBJ
serve practically all the German
movements far back of the lines
toward Noyon, the next German
concentration point marked for
capture. This important advan-
tage has been secured by the
seizure of the Lassigny plateau
and the virtual occupation of the
town itself:
The difficulty of fully obsery-
ing the activity of the Germans
north of Lassigny region has
hampered Marshal Foch's DISPOSE.
ton of his own troops. Now
Tat all secrets of concentration
before Noyon have been removed
Won Hindenburg must conduct
his defense of this area with new
difficulties.
Further call upon the German
reserves TO protect the Noyon
line will be necessary, if Won Hin
denburg resolves upon the doubt
full course of trying to postpone
his inevitable retreat little
longer
Marshal Foch is now in a posi-
ton to hammer away at the ap-
proaches to Noyon from three di-
rectious-west, southwest and
southeast.
Won Hindenburg can find men
to hold these gateways only by
further depicting his deserves.
The triple advance toward Noy-
on is not only a tactical move
ment of General Foch's local of
fensive,. Its strategic purpose is
to compel Won, Hindenburg to use
up as many of his troops as pos
sible in the first line fighting
over the widest possible front.
In this manner, Won Hindenburg's
plans are seriously disarranged,
for he cannot count on maintain
ing behind the lines a stabilized
reserve force. Territorial gain
is not Marshal Foch's sole object
at present. Even more import
ant than the immediate recovery
of French terrain is the confusion
and uncertainty which surrounds
Won Hindenburg's greatest prob
lem-the building up of a new re-

WAR MUSEUMS
To Be Established After War In Aus
traIia to Exhibit Trophies.

Melbourne. Aug. 6.-By Mail-The
Australian Government has planned
the establishment of war museums in
Australia after the war for the exhi,
bition of trophies and relics. Among
these are to figure enemy airplanes
which are captured without being to,
tally destroyed by the Australian fly
ing corps.
Such wrecked machines, are of
course thoroughly inspected by the
Technical Department of the. Royal
air force, for examination Of German
devices, and German adaptation of
British devices. They are eventually
handed over to the Australian govern
ment, TO take their place along with
other trophies won by the Australian
force.
They will be permanent memorials
OF Australian prowess in the war, and
memorials, too, of a period of airplane
construction TO which il is likely that
young Australia will look back very
much as we look back today on the
early models of the steam engine.

Des Moines. Aug. 21-Iowa's annual
state fair-bigger, grander. etc, as
the secretary admits-opened today
and big throng was on hand when
the gates were opened.
AS in former years the visitors
came to Des Moines early and the
camping grounds at the Fair were vel
dotted with tents of visitors who trav
ell long distance to see the big show
While many of the exhibits were
not in place when the show opened of
ficials of the fair association an
nounced that evening or tomorrow
morning would see everything set and
ready.
One of the main exhibits is that of
the state institutions. Tax payers had
been urged to take in this exhibit so
that they may learn how the board of
control expends appropriations on
state institutions.
This exhibit is located one block
south of the administration where in
former years concessions were To-
Gated. The State Board demanded and
received this location when it was
explained few people ever saw the
exhibits brought here by state wards
because they we're always far from
the center of activity.
