MILLION LOST
 ID TERRITORY
By J. j. Underwood of the Seattle Times

WASHINGTON, (MaiD - By a chain of peculiar and somewhat intm- cate legislative circumstances, Alaska this summer lost $l,OOO,OOO, Delegate George E. GHgSby for several weeks previous to his departure to the west to take up matters in connection with lis election contest, made determined efforts ,o recover this amount from the treasury and there is some prob ability that the effort will be crowned vi,h success.
 The tale of this lost million has to Gc with naval appropriations, the Alaska coal fields, the passage of three different bills, and the fact that the navy department for several months past has been having busy tlmc in transporting troops from Europe and in organizing the Pacific fleet.
 On July 1, last year, thoro was pass ed naval appropriation bill of S45, OOO,OOO for fuel and supplies. This ap. propriation included an item of $l.- 900 .OOO to be used in making an inyesti gation of the Alaska coal, in opening up a coal mine in that section, building bunkerS and doing such other work a., was found necessary to furnish Alas l:au fuel to the Pacific fleet.
 Funds Ordered Returned
 The navy at the time had number O. other important matters in hand. It was late in the season before an off crr was available, and it was probably thought best to put the work off until

.lis summer. Last February another law was passed It provided that all the unexpected funds in the hands ot the navy be rcconvcrtcd to the treas ury. On July II, this year, another naval appropriation was made. The Alaska item was included, and tn" measure provided that the money should bc furnished from the unc%- pended funds appropriated in the bill last year The fact that these moneys had been paid back into the treasury was entirely overlooked.
 Special Act Needed.
 This leaves the navy department mn dor instr. .;jonS of congress to spend &I I,OOO,OOO in opening a coal min" aud building hunkcrs in Alaska. but tho necessary money for thc work is in thc treasury and there is no way of get ting it out again without a special act by congress.

Talking about strikers, suppose Capital would go on general strike. What would the labor leaders who do nothing but agitate, and live off the poor misguided laboring man, do then with his income cut off and no work?

in honor of Bartholomew Thimmon- nier. whom the French claim was the inventor of the sewing machine.
 ThmOnnier, a tailOr'S assistant, instructed his first working model in
 >-H, and was thrashed by his fellow W1rlImen who complained that his "devilish inventiOn' would take the bread out of their mouths. Destitute and forgotten. Thim onnier died in 1867. when GA years old No one had ever given him any aid or encourage ment
 The device of Thimonnier was said to have been quite different from that Of Elias Howe the American inventor, whose sewing machine was patented in 1916 and who is regarded in Amer ca as the originator of the first prac- tical apparatus for meC .lAnlcal stitching. HoWc's machine met with similar opposition. It's chief feature was that of having the thread pass through near the point instead of the top of the needle.

PREDICTS COLLAPSE
 OF CENTRAL POWERS
Former Austrian Minister Feared
 It in 1917

Berlin, Sept. , (Correspondcnce of The Associated Press. )-Count Otto- kar von Chudcnitz Czernin. formerly Austrian foreign minister, is shown as 2 prophet who fOrc&hadOWed com ing events and the collapse oG the Central Powers with almost uncanny correctness. according to his now famous letter 10 Emperor Charles. written early in April. 1917. in which he urged that monarch to make peace at all hazards or suffer the ios3 of your thHone."
 Parts of the text of Count Czerni1's historic miSs:vc have boon published, but the complete text, as presented to the assembly at Wc'mar bv Finnnco Min iSter F,rzberger. has now appeared for the first time in tho Dcutsche .An- gemcinc Zeitung, tho ofii2ial German organ.
 It shows among other things that CZernin alone of al! .\Hstr an states men. proDhcs;ed the entrance, two years before, Of Humania into the war on tho side of the Allies and pre- dictod "almcst the day of it's out break" The letter also said the count "eXpeCtcd' immediate French, Brit ish and Italian OffcnsiVes and his fora- cast was born out by what happened. Within a fortnight after tho note to the ruler had been drafted on 4 pril 16, 1917, the French began the great SoissOns- Rheims ''driVe" along a 25- mile front, and the British had start cd the battle of Arras on a front ex- tending to Lens The Italians, a few weeks later, plunged across tire Isonzo in the Carso sector for a dis tance of 37 miles, crushing the Aus trians in their mad rush.
 In view of the reverses to the ar mics of the Central Powers and on the eve of Americas entry into the war. Czernin urged the emperor to make another detailed peace pro- posal and not be afraid to make great, even heavy, sacrifices" Russ a, he thought, had lost it's offensive power, but the Eagle of the West, he feared, might prove stronger adversary than the prostrate bear.
 ''In Germany great hope is laid in the submarine warfare," he wrote. 1T hold this attitude is deceptive. I to not for an instant deny the fabulous results of the German heroes of rhe sea. I admit admringly that the monthly total of sunken tons is some thing akin to fable, but I go on record as declaring that the result expected and predicted by the Germans will not follow."
 It must be remem bered at this time that German U-boats were at he height of their depredatiOns on the , sea. On October 2S, 1918, the Ger 1 man admiralty admitted the failure ] of the submarine warfare by recalling all the tigers of the deep" to kle ! and Wilhelmshaven. !
 1T hope that the thought, unfor- l tunately incorrect, that England cOulI | be compelled within a few months to 1 make peace, will lose ground in Ber- lin," wrote Count Czernin. "Nothing l is more dangerous than to believe l those things one wants to believe 1 nothing is more fatal than not want l ing to see the principle of truth, and ! to succumb to utopian illusions from ] which, sooner or later, there must 1 come fearful awak ening."
