shown to be false and altogeth-

CT imaginary, without any ex- 'ception. Our Emperor tele- graphed to the President of the United States of America that even women and priests had committed atrocities during this guerilla warfare on wound ed soldiers, doctors and nurses attached to the field ambulan- ces. How this telegram can be reconciled with the fact stated above we shall not be able to learn until after the war.
 Refutation by Vorwarts
 The Vorwarts, of Berlin, Octo- Der 22, 1914, said:
 "We have already been able to establish the falseness of a great number of assertions which have been made with precision and published every where in the press, concerning alleged cruelties committed, by the populations of the countries with which Germany is at war, upon German soldiers and civil ians. We are now in a position to silence two other of these fantastic stories.
 "The War Correspondent of the Berliner Tageblatt spoke a few weeks ago of cigars and. cigarettes filled with powder alleged to have been given out or sold to our soldiers with dia- bolical intent. He even pre- tended that he had seen with his own eyes hundreds of this kind of cigarettes. We learn from an authentic source that this story of cigars and ciga- rettes is nothing but brazen invention. Stories of soldiers whose eyes are alleged to have been torn out by francs-tireurs are circulated throughout Ger many. Not single case of this kind has been officially estab- lished. In every instance it has been possible to test the story it's inaccuracy has been demonstrated.
 'It matters little that reports of this nature bear an appear ance of positive certitude, or are even vouched for by eye witnesses. The desire for not oriety, the absence of criticism, and personal error play an un- fortunate part in the days in which we are living. Every nose shot of or simply bound up, every eye removed, is im- mediately transformed into a nose or eye torn away by the francs-tireurs. Already the Volkszeitung of Cologne has been able, contrary to the very Icategorical assertions from Ak la-Chapelle. to prove that.there was no soldier with his eye torn out in the field ambulance oe this town. It was said. also. that people wounded in this way were under treatment in the neighborhood of Berlin, but whenever enquiries have been made in regard to these reports, their absolute falsity has been demonstrated. At length these reports were con- centrated at Gross Lichterfelde. A newspaper published at noon and widely circulated in Berlin printed a few days ago in large type the news that at the La zaretto of Lichterfelde alone there were ten German sol- diers, only slightly wounded, whose eyes had been wickedly torn out But to a request for information by comrade Lieb- knecht the following written reply was sent by the chief medical officer of the above mentioned hospital. dated the

newspapers relate numerous cases in which they have fired on our soldiers whilst they were drinking. You soldiers must spread around so much fear of yourselves that no civilian will venture to come near you. Re- main always in the company of others. I hope that you have read the newspapers and that you know how to behave. Above all have no compassion for these cut-throats. Make for them without pity with the butt end of your rifle and the bayo- net.

 Number 53. September T.. I am requested to forward the following telegram from the Emperor to the President.
 I feel it my duty, MT. Pres ident, to inform you as the most prominent representative of principles of humanity, that after taking the French fortress of Longwy, my troops discover ed there thousands of dumdum cartridges made by special gov ernment machinery. The same kind of ammunition was found on killed and wounded troops and prisoners also on the Brit ish troops. You know what terrible wounds and suffering these bullets inf1ict and that their use is strictly forbidden by the established rules of in ternational law. I therefore address solemn protest to you against this kind of warfare, which, owing to the methods of our adversaries has become one of the most barbarous known in history. Not only have they employed these atrocious wea- pons, but the Belgian govern ment has openly encouraged and since long carefully pre- pared the participation of the civil population in the fighting. The atrocities committed even by women and priests in this guerilla warfare, also on wounded soldiers, medical staff and nurses, doctors killed, hospitals attacked by rifle fire, were such that my generals finally were compelled to take the most drastic measures in order to punish the guilty and to frighten the blood-thirsty population from continuing their work of vile murder and horror. Some villages and ev- en the old town of Loewen douvain), excepting the fine hotel de vile, had to be de- stroyed in self-defense and for the protection of my troops. My heart bleeds when I see that such measures have become un- avoidable and when I think of the numerous innocent people who lose their home and prop erty as a consequence of the barbarous behavior of those criminals.

Boo Henderson, famed as the first man to find gold in the Klondike valley, left Dawson July on the Hazel B. for a notable prospecting cruise. He will ascend the Stewart river. After reaching the upper stretches of the Stewart, he will embark in his canoe, "Lizzie's Dream" and paddle up the south fork of the Stewart and up Crook ed river, and may cross the di- vide and drop down the north fork of the McMillan. He states that from having toured that region years ago he knows there Is gold in the country, and he is hopeful of yet making 8 new strike there and possibly causing the opening of rich new placer fields. Bob is & genu- inc prospector, and never loses the bug for the new strike.
 Lizzie's Dream is a nifty and shifty little Peterboro, and in 1t Bol will carry his entire summer's am munition and camp outfit and will depend largely on his gun for his II nig for the next several years.
 Although the furrows are begin ming to beat in on Bob's brow, and his hands also are corrugated, the long, lank, angular form of the old Pictou scout is as tough as the seasoned oak.

 Ancnorage.-Platinum n paying quantities and tremendous deposits Iof Ignite coal have been located on Hyas riiyer, tributary of the Skwentna river, according to statement made today by Helmer Rundin, a well known prospector, who arrived in Anchorage yesterday from the Skentna district on the power boat J. J. from Susitna sta tion. MT. Ruudin, who has spent the past six months in the Hyas river country, feels certain that witt proper working Of the ground paying quantities of platinum may be mined. The great difficulty ac- cording to Mir. Rundin is the pres ence of water which renders the working of the ground at this time particularly difficult. He will re turn in the fall and remain there l for the winter, working with drill and will thoroughly prospect the ground in this manner.
 Coal deposits of tremendous di- mensions exist along the Hyas river and veins from fourteen to sixteen feet are in evidence in mum rous placees. The coal, says MT. Rundin. is like pine knots and will burn readily in Yukon stoYe.-Al- aska and Northwest Mining Maga- zine.
