GOES TO CAPITAL
 TO HELP ALASKA

To aid in furtherine Alaska IegisIa- ton now before congress, J. L. Nc Pherson, manager of the Alaska bu- reau of the Chamber of Commerce andcommerciaI Club, left a few days ago for Washington, D. c. Says the Seattle Times.
 An1onf the measures now before congress are provision for increased production of aids to navigation and coast surveys, improved mail service wagonroad construction, increased ac tivties in the government railroad and the passage of the coal and oil act recently reported by the conferees and which has been so amended as to em brace Alaska. The latter measure has bten in conference for nearly Year and was finally reported out about ten days ago. Upon recommendation of Secretary of the interior Lane. it was amended to include Alaska.
 Secretary Lane requested of confess on sebruary 8 an appropriation of $13,sooooo with which to complete the government railroad. Of this, $e, eoo,ooo is deficiency appropriation in excess of the original $35,ooo, ,ooo authorized by congress.
 The added cost of the project is due to marked increase. in the cost of labor, materials and supplies. Labor costs have advanced 50 per cent over the estimate of 1914 and materials and supplies have jumped from s to 75 per cent. As overhead and operating costs are increasing with each years work and now average approximately $too,000 month it is advisable from an economic standpoint, according to MT. McPherson to push the road to completion as for number of years at least the greater part of the traffic will be through traffic to the interior Wagon roads and branch railroads will be necessary for the development of local traffic, he states.
 MT. McPherson who made the trip over the entire route last year, fully believes that with the necessary ap- propriations the work could be push ed to completion within two years.

PUBLISH U s NEWS
 PAPER IN GERMANY

CHicAGo.- An American news paper is being published in Germany according to Parke Brown, one oi the European correspondents of the ; Chicago Tribune, who cables the in. formation to that paper from Cobl eng, via Paris.
 The paper was discovered the oth- CT day when a. croup of soldiers in the city of Maven were found read. ing the Fourth Corps Flare. 1t is a four-page weekly, put out by memb. CTS Of the Fourth corps artillery pat And it is real newspaper, too for in addition to items on the latest society doines among the officers and the best bulls perpetrated by buck privates, the fourpages include a col umn of wiresless picked up by the powerful radio operated at colhem by the Three Hundred and Tenth field signal battalion. In the left-hand column are the most recent develop
 
 ments at the peace conference, and on the right hand is, tWo-coIumn head Chance Many Coon Leave,," story telling, in detail of the pro. spects of passes to France, England and Belgium.
 Contains Feature Stories
 Feature stories are not lacking. Here is one about headquarters ser geant who found the supply cellar door unlocked. He cursed about some one's careiessness and locked the door upon his captain and went on his way. Another tells of a man who at a sick call told the surgeon that he had rheumatism so badly in his right shoulder that he could not sleep on ct. He was advised to sleep on his left side.
 Inside is box Sharp" consisting of asmaI stock of cuts found in a German print shop, described to suit the present use. For example, a
  horse is described as an inhabitant put out of his home to make room for American soldiers. Three wine bottles are labeled Scene in Lux emburg.e
 Editorials Are Serious.
 The editorials are of serious tone, The leading one asks whether the reader knows that ages before the dawn of history caves were dug in the hills near Maven, and weap- ons of the stone and bronze ages have been taken from these hills. Julius Caesar went through Maven on one of his campaigns.
 The second editorial reflects upon the sericls effect occasoned when a drunken soldier insulted two Ger nan woman.
 The Fourth coprs is so proud of its paper there are many who pre- dict it may become the official publi- cation of the entire Third army. Cor -oral Herbett M. Davidson Of Kan eas City is editor. Ordance Sergeant Edwin N. Rand of Worcester, Mass. assistant editor: Corporal Harold H. Bruns of San Francisco is business manager, and there is a long list of correspondents. Because of the, big demand for copies to send home, the Flare is making more money than it's promoters know how to use

cheese turned up on one of the
shelves, and gathering plates and
cooking utensils together she was
soon enjoying toasted cheese and
crackers and a delicious cup of tea.
She was about to refill her cup when
the silence of the sunny kitchen was

Evelyn stared at the indicator in
perpleXity. Pshaw! the register was
out of order; II was the front door
bell which had rung. Stopping long
enough to turn off the gas burning in
the range she hastened upstairs to the
front door, only to find the Vestibule
empty. She stepped out on the door

except for a motor vanishing around
