ADMIRATION OF
 AMERICANS FOR
 ITALIAN PEOPLE

AMERICAN SEAPLANE TRAIN ING CAMP, Italy, June 8.-Ameri- can admiration for Italian efficiency and hospitality is one of the sentiz mental facts which has developed here since the establishment of this camp on the edge of an inland lake by joint agreement of the navy de- partment of the two nations.
 We can't say enough nice things about our Italian friends from any point of view" explained the Amer ican commander of the students. Their efficiency is only equaled by their capacity for friendship. Their hospitality is unbounded. They don't seem to be able to do enough for us.

RAILROAD MAY
 DEVELOP MORE
 IN PUGET SOUND
Plans Believed Under Way for Construction Roads on Olympic Pen
 inSuIa.

SEATTLE, June 7-Though the Railroad Administration has not ap proved any plans for railroad con. struction in the Western part of the Olympic peninsula, it is believed in railroad circles that work will be or> dered soon.
 H. R. Williams, who was in charge 'of the Milwaukee construction to the Pacific Coast, has returned to Seattle to become manager of the Milwaukee Land Co.,. which has extensive inter ests on the Peninsula, and w. F. Carey of the engineering and con struction firm of Stems, Carey & Co.,, showed up at the Hotel Savoy about the time that Williams got fairly well settled in his new job. Another big railroad and timber concern also IS said to be represented here, watch ing for developments.
 Among lumbermen heavily interest ed in the Olympic Peninsula country, 1t is claimed that one big operator IS preparing to erect a mill with a capacity of 1,000.000 feet of spruce daily and plans have developed to a point where options have been pro- cured on timber tracts and arrange ments made for a railroad right-of- way. It is a we'll known fact that iumbermen with holdings in the Lake ozette district expect road to be extended into that country this year.
 U. S. MAY NEED SPRUCE
 It is declared in lumber circles that the spruce of the Western Olym- pic Peninsula country is the last big untouched resources of the United States Spruce logging operations nave progressed to a point indicating that most of this class of timber will De taken off this year. and if 1t is the American Government is expect ed to look elsewhere for the 1919 supply. Spruce is essential to the Allied airplane program.

T. J. DONOHOE IS VISITOR IN
 FIRST DIVISION

Thomas J. Donohoe, Democratic National committeeman for Alas ka, with Mrs. Donohoe and their son, Thomas Jr., are Juneau visi- tors at the home of Mrs. Donohoe's sister, Mrs. Earle R. Hunter. They will remain in Juneau for a few days when they will leave for the South.
 MT. Donohoe is greatly pleased with the result of the recent pri- mary election, and says there is no question but that Delegate Charles A. Sulzer will be reelected by an overwhelming majority next fall.
 Delegate Sulzer and the Demo- cratic Divisional ticket will easily carry the Third Division" said Mir. Donohoe, "and information from other Divisions point to a certain Democratic victory" said MT. Don oboe today.

At one time it was announced that the Milwaukee would be given per mission by Director-General w. G. McAdoo to extend it's line by way of Pyscht into Forks, the Ozette and Hob River countries. Since the an. nouncement was made, Milwaukee of. ficials have made some preparatory plans, and the statement of Williams indicates that the timber owners be- lieve the road will be constructed. However, the former order, which must be accompanied by an approp. riation of money to pay for the road, has not been made
 There is story current in rail road and lumber circles that Seims. Carey & Go. may build either on their own account or for the Rail road Administration into the western part of Clallam and Jefferson coun- ties. This story has been given em phasis by the coming of w. F. Carey, who is long on curiosity about Gal lam county affairs, but extremely short on information affecting his company's plans. That the big con struction corporation is deeply in terested in Clallam County railroad and numbering development is not de, nied.
 Construction Problem Not Difficult
 The problem of railroad construc- tion in Western Clallam and Jeffer- son counties, which would tap the big stand of spruce timber that the Government wants, is not difficult Surveys have been made by the Nor thern Pacific, Union Pacific, Great Northern and Milwaukee. The Union Pacific surveys were prosecuted from the south or Grays Harbor region. while the Milwaukee. which has more complete data on the country than any other road, went in from Port Angeles and Grays Harbor with open mind.
 The Milwaukee officials, if given permission to build, unquestionably would favor an extension of their line from Port Angeles. The North ern Pacific would build north from Grays Harbor, while the other lines are neutral. What the outside inter- ests have in mind is a matter that railroad and lumber interests are trying to learn.

LONDON, June 10.-The French forces appear to be making splendid resistance to the Germans in the Noyon sector, especially on their Hanks, where the attacks have been the heaviest. The Germans have progressed in the center, where they claim to have captured the Heights of Gury. The French admit the loss of the villages of Reasons, Surmatz and MereuiI. 1t is generally expect ed that the German attack between Noyon and Montdidier is for the pur- pose of resuming a direct thrust at Paris.

'"GOD DIRECTS FIRE, ]"
 ABERNETHY TELLS WIFE BEATER
Judge of Municipal Court Gives Wife of Brutal Husband Pistol to De-
 fend Herself

Robert L. Scott was placed under $500 peace bond and made to pay the cost of court proceedings in Judge H. B. Abernethy's division of the mu- nicipal court yesterday.
 On December ? Mrs. Pearl Scott wife of the said Robert l.. Scott. appeared before the municipal court and swore out a warrant against her husband, charging that he had assaulted her and threatened to kill her. and Scott was placed under peace bond. Wednes- day Mrs. Scott reap2eared before the court, stating that her husband had again threatened to beat and kill her if she didn't withdraw the case against him. The court then raised the bond to $1c.000.
 Mrs Scott stated that she was afraid to leave the courthoom and late that afternoon Judge Abernethy stepped over into the coroner's office, bor- rowed a pistol, oiled 1t up. and gave it to her and told her to use 1t if her husband mistreated her any more. The next morning when Scott was brought into court he asked if the judge had given his wife the gun, whereupon he replied. T did; and I never saw all honest woman miss her mark. God di- rects the fire" After Judge Abernethy had given him good lecture the de- fendant broke down and asked for an- other chance.

BURLESON URGES WIRE OWNERSHIP
 BY GOVERNMENT
Declares in Annual Report That. Government Own ership Not Only Sound
 But Practicable

Washington, December 5.-Telephone and telegraph lines of the country, now under government control, should become government owned at the conclusion of peace and the expiration of the pro- visions of the act under which the utili- ties are now controlled, Postmaster Gen eral Burleson declares in his annual re- port made public today. The war has shown that government ownership of tel ephones and telegraphs lis not only sound but practicable" the Postmaster General says, in repeating the recommendation which he has made in previous reports, but which he makes for the first time as head of the government agency con- trolling the land communication lines
 .'The experiences as 8 result of the present war have fully demonstrated that the principle of government ownership of the telephones and telegraphs is not only sound, but practical" MT. Burleson says. Tt has been necessary as war measure for Congress to consider leg islation authorizing the President to as- sume control of the telegraph and tele- phone systems of the country. While such control is temporary, and will ex- ist only until the ratification of the treaty or pedCes ySl liiC bSSb ASSHi tS can be obtained only when these sys- tems are owned by the government, made a part of the postal establishment, and operated solely with a view to serving the public and not making profits or guaranteeing returns on the investment. Government ownership of the telegraphs and telephones should not longer be de- layed, and the action of Congress in this matter is urgently recommended.
