BROWN HOIST DOES
 MUCH WORK ON LINE

The Brown hoist is the busiest machine on the Alaskan Engineer ing commissions works nowadays on several places, both on the new D line and the line along the old right of way.
 All day long the Brownie helps the steel gang in passing along steel and other materials for pushing the railroad along. When the day gang goes off shift the Brownie works on the old line between bridges 5 and IA, gathering up logs cut two years ago for the saw mill, but now not good for that purpose, and the cordwood lying between these two bridges.
 The cordwood is taken to the gasoline saw stationed at the drag line camp, where it is cut into the proper sizes for use on the brown hoist, dragline excavator and the

PACKERS OBJECT ID CONTROL BY
 UNITED STATES
Heads of Packing Companies Protest
 Against Recommendations of Trade Commission.

CHICAGO.-Heads of some of the packing companies have pro- tested against the recommendations of the Federal Trade Commission, whereby the government is asked to take over the control of the meat industry, while others give assurance of co-ooperation with the govern ment in the event of government control being exercised.

 Louis Swift said that he believed that the taking over of their branch establishments and storage houses by the government will be impract- able.
 J. Ogden Armour, in an early statement, said that the American government can have the entire con- trol of the company and every en- ployee now working for it. He re- iterated this statemnt later.
 Thomas F. Wilson, president of Wilson & Co.,, said that he would welcome new methods for the bene- fit of the public and will cooperate with the government to the fullest extent.

 NOW CONFIRMED
Confirmation of the Despatch From Stockholm Is Received At
 Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Confirma- tion of the report cabled from Stockholm yesterday regarding the declaration that state of war ex- isted between Russia and England has been received today by the state department.
 The American consul at Moscow cabled the report that Minister Len inc of the Soviet government said that a state of war existed between the Soviet government and the En- tente Allies.
 The declaration of war is not coa- sidered serious and is taken to mean that Russia will take steps to put herself in state of defense against Allied encroachments, similar to the one existing against Germany re- gently.

YESTERDAYS OPERATIONS

PARIS-The operations commenc- ed yesterday by the French and Brit ish forces took the enemy completely by surprise, not the slightest indica- tion having been given of the in- tention of the Allies to launch a counter offensive in this sector.
 The rapidly advancing troops cap- tured many Germans who were en- gagged in harvesting the crops in the fields behind their lines.
 The French artillerying which pre- ceeded the battle lasted for nearly an hour on the original front of attack, four kilometers south of the Amiens-Roye road. The offensive gradually developed all along the right bank of the Avre river near Hargicourt. -*- ".." "-:

HUNS FORCED BACK
 OVER ELEVEN MILES

LONDON - The Franco-British advance south of the Somme con- tinues steadily and has reached maximum depth of eleven miles, with the Germans still falling back, and giving way to the vigorous Allied attacks all along the line. The Brit ish cavalry and armored tanks operating in the advance of the on- coming infantry columns are clear ing the way ahead in great shape and have now reached to within few mles of the Chaulnes railroad station.
 An official statement of the fight ing on this sector says that fourteen thousand prisoners and guns too numerous to count, have been taken thus far, and the cavalry are still pursuing the fleeing Germans. The lines in this sector now run from Lihons to Meharicourt.
 Military experts belive that as a result of the advance made by the Allied forces, it will now be inn possible for the Germans to hold their positions around Montdidier.
 It is also believed that the ad- vance on the Picardy front renders Amiens secure against attacks and that the threatened advance on Paris from this direction has now been eliminated.

FATAL AUTO CRASH
Edward King, Of Louisville. Killed
When Car Skids near Middletown

The Lexington Herald gave the
following account Of the sad &C
cident, last Saturday aftJnoon,
which resulted in the death OF Mr..
King, of Louisville, and in serious
injury TO others who were with him
in the car:
Thomas King, 80 years old, son
Of the late John J. King, Of the firm
Of Mason, King and cambridge, con-
tractors Of Frankfort, was instant
ly killed; Miss Catherine Tobin,
daughter Of the late II. l.. Tobin, Of
Frankfort, was seriously injured
and Edward Fennell, of Louisville,
Richard Stoll, Jr, son Of J. Will
Stoll, prominent banker of Lexing-
ton, and wife sustained slight
bruises in an automobile accident
one mile north of Middletown.
The party left Frankfort shortly
before noon in a car owned by Mr..
King. with Mrs. Richard Stoll driv-
ing the machine. Just north Of
Middletown, the car entered a
stretch of road which recently had
been oiled, and the machine, escap-
ing from the control of Mrs. Stoll,
skidded Off the road, plunged down
an embankment and turned over
three times, throwing the occupants
out.
Mr.. King fell heavily on the back
Of his head and died a few minutes
later Of broken neck. The other
occupants Of the car were brought to
local hospital, where il was found
Miss Tobin was suffering from a
fractured skull and numerous cuts
and bruises about the body. The
rest of the party escaped with slight
bruises and left the hospital short
ly.
Mr.. King, who had been visiting
his mother in Frankfort, had in
vited the members Of the party to
accompany him TO Louisville. Mr..
and Mrs. Stoll were on their way TO
Nashville, where Mr.. StOll had ac-
cepted a position with a Nashville
contracting firm. Fennel, who sus-
tanned slight injuries. was assist
ant bookkeeper at Lakeland Asy-
lum, near this city.
The fact that the car was running
at a slow rate of speed when it
skidded down the embankment,
probably saved the lives Pf the
other occupants. All were thrown
clear Of the machine in its wild
plunge down the bank.

money as il was asked TO- and Miss
FleNner tells the following amusing
story Of Henry Beaute, zone OF the
big Red Cross workers for Harlan"
to illustrate the spirit with which
the miners worked in the campaign:
AT first, Henry Beaute worked
under difficulties. This was be-

a pro-German tried and released.
But his feelings were outraged and
he asked 10 be used in some special

was in earnest by getting every man
at Tway to sign.

that made me work so hard though,

THE PEOPLE AND WAR TAXES

More than s3,5OO,0O0,OC0 has been
collected in internal revenue taxes,
including income and excess-prolts
taxes, for the fiscal year. This ex-
ceeds by over Si0O,0Oo.Oi0 the esti-
mates made a few months ago, and
by over s2OO.OOO,000 the estimates
made year ago, when the revenue
measures were passed by Congress.
The success in collecting this
large revenue is attributed by the
Treasury Department to the patri-
otism and cooperation of the Amer
lean people in promptly and cheer
fully meeting the war burdens i'm
posed upon them.

so, 900, 900 bushels

Increase ......... $4,000, 900 bushels
OF these cereals our shipments of
the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year
1917-1S to Allied destinations were
Wheat 131, 200. 900 bushels and of rye
13,90O,0O0 bushels. a total of la, 9OO,-
600 bushels.
The exports to Allied destinations
during the fiscal year 1857 were:
Wheat 1875, 100000 bushels and rye
100000 bushels, a total Of 137. 400 900
bushels. In addition some 100000
bushels of 1917 wheat are now In port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest of
wheat will be therefore, about 141, O0O,-
600 bushels, or total Of 154,90O,O00
bushels of prime breadstuffs. In ad-
dition to this we have shipped some
10000. 900 bushels TO neutrals depend
ent upon US, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.
This accomplishment of our people
In this matter stands out even more
clearly II we bear in mind that we had
available In the fiscal year 1901
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
200, 100000 bushels Of wheat which we
were able to export that year without
trenching on our home loaf" Mr..
Hoover said. This last year, however,
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, We had available from net
carry-over and production and imports
only Just about our normal consump-
ton. Therefore our wheat shipments
TO Allied destinations represent APP
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
"These figures, however. do not fully
convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
spite the magnificent effort OF our agri-
cultural population In planting a much
acreage in 1917, not only was
there a very large failure In wheat,
bat also the corn failed to mature prop
eriy, and our corn is our dominant crop.
II am sure" Mr.. Hoover wrote in
his report, that all the
millions Of our people. agricultural as
well as urban. who have contributed
to these results should, feel a very
definite satisfaction that In year of
universal food shortages In the north.

Divine Descent.

The incongruity Of the Bible with
the age OF its birth; its freedom from
earthly mixtures; its original, unbor-
rowed solitary greatness; the sudden
ness with which II broke forth amidst
the general gloom; these 10 me are
strong indications OF its divine de-
scent; cannot reconcile them with
human misunderstanding.
