HUN MALENOLENcE

Although everyone is familiar with
German destruction in the Huns re.
treat from France, not so much has
been said about the destruction of
French railroads. But according to
French reports recently made public
the Germans followed the same mol.
| icy in destroying railroads that thew
used to destroyed everything else.
That is they went much further than
military necessity dictated.
Not content with cutting railroad
communications in the areas they were
eVacuting just enough to prevent the
French from using the lines. thew
sought to destroy them utterly, ac
cording to this report of the French
minister of public works shows that

blown up and cuts filled.
In fact the destruction of French
railroads in the occupied area seems
to have been more comprehensive
than was that Of any other character
OF property. The idea was to cripple.
france permanently in an Industrial
and transportation way.
Those in this country who have been
inclined to regard the terms of the.
peace treaty as too severe should study
carefully the destruction wrought in
France by the Germans; at the same
time taking into consideration the
motive for such destruction-noti
military necessity, but a malicious
desire to cripple France for genera.
tons to come-and they will stop
their whining.
A view of this destruction will also
show why the French stood out so
strongly during the peace conference
for adequate PREPARATION from the Ger
mans and why they have fought to
keep the Germans from gaining AN
advantage in the resumption of indus.

light of the facts, the French view is
easily explained.
The first thing France must do to
rebuild and revive her industrial acti

and that in itself is a task huge

pie.

He went to Nome one season and surveyed in that community, and returned to Juneau in tho fall of 1900 and remained here until 1907 at which time he went to Fairbanks, Alaska where he followed his own profession as a land surveyor.

(Continued from Page One)

gram came to the local U. s. For estry office authorizing the use of the funds appropriated for the Fly der road to be used also in the con struction Of the dock
 Lack of landing facilities at Fly der has been the biggest impedi- ment in the way of growth and de- problem as to whether the road money could be used for the dock was the key to the situation. Word came this morning. to- J. N. Wyck- off, special fiscal agent for the for estry service, that if the dock con nected with the Government road, it might be considered part of it.
 Fred Cotter, engineer for the AL aska Road Commission, proceeds to ilyder tonight on the Taku II to begin the laying out of the road He expects to be there until early in September. when Major w. H. Waugh. President of the Commis- sion, will return from the interior, where he is looking over other pro- jects. Major Waugh will complete arrangements for the dock at that time.
 With the word that the dock is to be considered part of the road project, MT Cotter expects that the immediate survey Of the site will be included in his work. all though no definite orders have yet beea received from Major Waugh
 That the dock will be built as soon as is feasible, is the opinion of all officials connected with the 1 road work, and as the grade for the

PEARL HARBOR DRYDoCK SOON
 TO BE OPENED
Secretary Daniels, Will Be Present at the Opening of Dock Which Cost
 Five Million Dollars

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The off cal opening of the navy drydock at Pearl Harbor, near Honolulu, Hawaii, late this month, will mark the sue cessful completion of one of the most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken by the United States gov ernment. The immense dock, repre- than $5,0O0,000 and has been under construction for ten years. Secre- tary of the Navy Daniels will of ficiate at the christening of the dock
 The dock is completed just in time to add a much needed facility for care of the ships of the Pacific fleet The first vessel to enter the dock will probably be one of the dreadnaughts of Admiral Rodran's forces, possibly the New York. The dock is 1901 feet in length, 32 1-2 feet deep, IA feet wide at the bot tom and 13S feet wide at the top. It will dock the largest snip Of war now afloat or contemplated.
 After the sections of the dock had been finished and were being an chored in their places in 1913 the water was pumped out whereupon the bottom of the dock was forced upward by pressure from the sides and the engineers and workmen were forced to stand helplessly by and watch the fruits of four years of labor and millions of dollars of mon- ey crushed into a helpless mass Of debris.
 A new plan of construction on a much greater scale was then adopted. Concrete sections sixty feet long and the full width of the dock were cast one at a time and lowered to the bottom of the dry dock securely an choring it. Then the great structure was built Early in March this year the dock was pumped out for the first time. The upward pressure of the bottom had been overcome and the structure rose but 3.16 of an inch when perfectly dry

MAN SEVERELY INJURED

Louis Johnson, engineer TOT .he Southern Alaska Packing Company was severely burned when the gas boat Bug caught fire Saturday and burned to the waters edge, when Johnson attempted to start her, ar ter she had been beached for re- pairs, says the Ketchikan Chron- iele.
 The Bug had been beached near the Quandra cannery of the com pany, and in laying on her side had allowed the gasoline tank to leak. After repairing the boat, Johnson attempted to turn over the engine and in some way spark fcaught the gasoline and an eyplos- ion and fire resulted The boat Y as entirely destroyed and the en- eineer badly burned about the face.

road must be established before the dock can be put in, the survey of the road must necessarily come first MT. Cotter expects that this work will be finished by the time Major Waugh arrives in order that no time may be lost in putting in the dock.
 Although Major Waugh has giv- en no definite location information, Governor Thomas Riggs, on his re- turn from Hyder recently, outlined the most feasible plan to MT Cot ter. This calls for dock approxi- mately a quarter of a mile in length extending from the Government road over the tide flats, where a 20-foot tide rises.
 While no definite information is obtainable, it is said that the work will require the driving of approximately a thousand piles, so that the total cost may be expected to be between $20,0O0 and ESQ., 900.
 With the construction of the new dock, it will be possible to land freight at Hyder with little cost, compared to present prices, and it will mean that ore may be shipped out from the mines to the smelters in much larger quantities than at present.
 The construction of the dock will also make it possible to land big boats at Hyder, and twill open the way for the people of Ketchikan to boost for a mail service on a boat large enough to carry passen- gers, freight and mail in good shape
 Business that is now going from Prince Rupert through Stewart and Hyder may be diverted to Ketchi- kan, if such boat service is se- cured. Officials have given their word to work for such a mail ser vice and the matter will be taken up at once with the. department.
