OVER HE TOP ID
 LAKE BENNETT

Tomorrow will be 6 record day in the .tjournal" of the Skagway AL pine club, for tho success of the Red Cross benefit excursion is now a foresone conclusion.
 The White Pass has been aked to furnish cars for the accommoda- tion of 25O persons, of whom the committee has been informed 150 will te officers with their families and soldiers from Fort Seward.
 Arrangements have been made with the White Pass eating house at Bennett for lunches for those who do not wish to take their "eats" a long with them, and it has been re- ported to the committee that a num- Der of the boys from the post will be guests of persons going from hree.
 Today the weather is reported to be perfect at Bennett, and if the sky hould be overcast here early tomorrow morning, that is no sign that the weather will not be per feet across the line.
 Remember the fsre is only $2.O0 for adults and $1.O0 for children under sixteen, and this would be cheap for the trip, but the beauty of the affair is that with the assurance of 15O from the post, more than half Of this amount will go to the Skagway Branch of the Red Cross society. You owe i' to yourself to take a little recreation, and this Is an oportunity to have it at nominal cost, and at the same time assist the Red Cross.
 The train will leave the Broad way station at 7:SO tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, and will leave Bennett for the return at 500 O. clock n the afternoon.

MEDALS INSPIRE MEN!
Pcrshing's Appeal Gets Quick Re-
sponse With Bill in Congress.

Washington, March 26.-Upon the
of the war depart
ment, Chairman Chamberlain of the
senate military committee today in
troduced a resolution to permit Amer
lean. military and naval forces to ac-
cept decorations from allied govern
ments. The recommendation, made at
the request of General Pershing, sug-
gested that the United States in turn
might bestow honors on British and
French soldiers Such action would
do much to promote closer relations
with our allies. it was said. Acting
Secretary CroweH of the war depart
men forwarded to Senator Chamber
lain General Pershing's communica-
ton.
Service of our troops with France
has already resulted in d number of
cases of individual gallantry." Genera,
Pershing said. Some of these have
been rewarded by citations in orders
by French and by award of the Croix
de Guerre, which our soldiers are un-
able to accept officially. Such srecog-
milton is a very powerful incentive to
gallantry in action. Numbers of our
men won the Croix de Guerre in pre-
Yious service under the French and
tering the army Both French and
British governments would permit their
troops to wear our campaign badges
and would accept our decorations
There seems no good reason why we
should not be empowered to bestow
decorations on French and British en-
titled to them. especially when serv-
ing alongside of our troops, and we
should accept theirs.
Decorations carefully bestowed
would contribute to good feeling and
closer relations with our allies

GENERAL WOOD SAYS HUNS
CAN'T BREAK THRU LINES

Washington, March 26--Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood. United States
army, said today:
Il don't believe the German
armies will get thru the allied
lines. Notwithstanding all the re-
ports indicating temporary sue
cesses. There is no reason for
alarm or undue anxiety. The spl-
rit of the French and British
armies and their confidence are
such as to make a serious penetra-
ton of their front practically an
in1possibility.
1.-THE British and French realized
that when this attack came their
lines would be denied. but there
never has been any doubt that they
could hold their lines in other po-
Sitions.
THE morale of the allied troops
and of our own is splendid. We are
going to win; we cannot lose. As
to the reports about the mysterious
new German ordnance that is re-
ported to be Smelling Paris. l do
not believe there is any such gun.

MUST MAKE GOOD
Crown Prince Has Reputation
at Stake Again Now.
Bayarian Heirs Success May
HumbIe the HOhenzOllerns.
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York. March 26.-Von linden
burg's stupendous slaughter of Ger
many's man power is still failing to
wrest back the full area of territory
voluntarily evacuated by the Germans
last March. Between sixty and sew
entry per cent of terrain then lost has
now been recovered, but the full VIC
tory that can compensate for Ger
many's unprecedented casualties has
not been won. The British line re-
mains unbroken.
Won Hindenburg no longer is adj
vancing on the wide front of last week.
The fresh German shock troops used
during the past "a hours have not dis
played the same reckless impetuosity
of the initial attack. The kaiser's best
divisions show evidence of becoming
exha listed. The stamina of the rein
forcementS suggests Won linden
burg's available supply of cannon fod-
der may have fallen to the second and
third grade men.
Still Striving Desperately
Nevertheless, Won Hindenburg is
developing a further desperate inten-
ton of trying to break thru the
southern part of the British front.
The combat across the Somme river
involves the most serious consequences
for the house of Hohenzollern 1t is
this southern part of the present bat
nominal control of the German crown
prince
The loss of prestige that the Hohen-
zollern heir suffered at Nerdun evil
IDENTIFY must be recovered now or not
at all. The crown prince of fight
ing house like the Hohenzollerns
might be fatally handicapped as a
ruler if a major check at the Somme
were to follow his defeat at Verdun.
Has Rival in Field
All the more urgent is it for the
kaiser to press the Somme fighting
because the rival crown prince of
Bavaria commands the northern half
of the new battle area. For Prussia to
permit Bavaria to make the better
record at this crisis in the affairs of
the Hohenzollerns might be fatal. The
slow progress of the German advance
across the Somme. however, is a
happy augury for the allies. The cap
ture of Bapaume is of secondary con-
sequence to this
The British front after the st. Quen-
tin reverse is remaining stolidly intact
in the south. Here is where the great
est blows are falling and here is the
scene fixed. if the British line still
holds, for the house of HoheLzollern' s
most disastrous defeat.
