P0RTLAND-EUROPE
STEAMERS STOPPED
BY GRAIN STRIKERS

Portland, Mey Dec. Failure to
break the deadlock existing over the
wages to be paid to longshoremen
for handling grain was followed late
today by the announcement that
steamship lines had taken steps to-
ward cancelling sailings to this port
and that the service maintained be-
tween Portland and European ports
would be withdrawn, as it would be
impossible to operate the ships under
the present grain rates.
Negotiations relative to a reduc-
ton Of wages began last October, and
the men accepted cut from so cents
an honr to s. cents on general cargo
work, and from $1.20 to 81 an hour for
overtime. On the grain work, how
ever, they refused to accept a fifteen
per cent. reduction. which would
make the pay for. day work S. cents
an hour and overtime $3.50 an hour.
Several conferences have been held
within the last few days, hut me
parties to the controversy were I'M
able to reach an agreement.
The steamship lines affected are

tives in France.
 In return the United Stat es promises that the Anna polls station will perform the same service for the French government, free of charge. This large amount of business is now being handled by the private cable and commercial wireless companies.
 This suggested innovation, which originated with the Navy department, is being seriously considered by the French government al- though it believes it would carry by far the larger load, and although it had planned to leave the station entirely free. during peacetime to handle only commercial busi- ness. The wireless stations of the French government are used by the Ministry of Posts and Telegraphs during peace-time and by the Min istry of War during time cf war.
 The Lafayette station. which is 20 miles from Bor- deaux, is now actually being operated by the French Min istry of Posts, and sent to North and South America most of the press reports O. the meeting of the League of Nations Assembly at Gen. eva.
 The station was started during the war by the Amer ican Navy Department and at the arlnistice the French government arranged with the navy to finish it, agree. ing to pay the entire cost of construction. It can reach any point on the globe.

USUAL I0LL 0f |.
 WINTER LOSSES
 FOR GAS BOATS

In asking money to prop erly chart Alaskan waters the United States Geodetic. survey showed that from l8- 67 to 1919 a total of $25, ,00O,- 900 in property had been lost in vessels wrecked, and the list was not by any means complete. This contention is emphasized by the loss of boats Secently, in Alaskan waters and on the Alaskan run.
 These include the total loss of the gasboat Grubstake near Higgings~ on Campo Point; the loss of the Robin near Killisnoo, estimated at $2,0O0; the loss of the Mable A, a large halibut boat at Craig, worth several thous- and dollars, and the sinking of the Alaska" at Tenakee, which was however lowed to the beach at low tide.
 Two small gasboats were wrecked about two months ago in Suicide Harbor, on Ia ku Inlet.
 The Pulitzer, the mail boat boat on the run between Ko- liak and Unalaska, is believ- ed to have been lost, and a re 1uest for a revenue cutter to make a search has been made by the governor.
 The Standard oil tanker Atlas went ashore at Snow Pass and was lowed into Ket, ,hikan with a loss of $90, 0,00O
 The Prince Rupert, a boat we'll known in Alaskan wat CTS, some time ago sunk and las been recently raised and owed into Prince Rupert.
 The Dora formerly mail steamer on the westward run, was recently wrecked on the north end of Vancou~ yer Island, while on her way north.
 Up to 1919 the geological survey estimated that ap~ proximately 468 vessels had been lost in Alaska waters, with a loss of nearly. 1000 lives. It was admitted that the record was far from com plete. During the past year some large vessels were wrecked, besides the usua! number of small boats.
 The government itself has lost vessels worth nearly $2, more nancy than is appropriated for charting and surveying waters in AL aska.

Alaskan Surveys in Arrears

Alaskan Surveys in Arrears
 Last years work by the United States Geological Survey, Department of the interior, in Alaska included geologic surveys of twenty
 seven hundred square miles, and a continuation of stream gazing work in southeastern Alaska in CO.,
 operation with the Forest
 Service, with special refer
 ence to the possible use of
 water power. This last-nan:
 ed work should be of benefit
 not only to mining but to the
 wood-pulp and other indust-
 ries. Owing to the decrease of the Geological Surveys appropriation for work in Alaska during the war fron" $1OO,0O0 to $75,0O0 and to
 ;he large increase in costs, 5he field work done since 19.
 IS has announced to only about 50 per cent of tha,
 done in preceding years, ac- cording to the annual report of the Director of the Geolo- gical Survey, just made pub.
 ic. Investigations in Alaska are therefore much in ar rears, at a time when the large expenditures for Gov ernment railroad construc tion demand that every ef- fort should be made to en- courage the mining industry through surveys and investi- cations that will increase the knowledge of the dist1ibu- tion and occurrence of the mineral resources of the Ter ritory. In the work. done special emphasis has beer placed on the surveys of re. gions tributary to the Gov ern1nent railroad but it may also be point. .dout that all advances in mining in any l part of the Territory will d. lectly or indirectly benefit and be benifited by the rail road.

they found some 1900 articles of pre-

they should have the cooperation of To-

his country had gone through mahy de-
ceptions and had seen Germany refuse to
perform her obligations.
Nj. BRAND said his government wanted
continued and real peace with Germany.
In Germany, he said, there were numer-
Gus people who want a peace really
founded on democratic institutions and
he declared it was that sort of Germany
to which the world must look for hope,
but he asked, how could France ignore
the other Germany of the HohenZOl-
lerns." The old imperial party, he de-
clared, had tried repeatedly to regain
control. As an example NJ. BRAND read
several messages from the memoirs OF
Ludendorff regarding German aspira-
tions for world conquest.
Some people think that France must
have some hidden thought. 1t has been
said that France wanted to establish in
Europe a source OF military supremacy.
Probably this is the most painful and
cruel thing a Frenchman could be told.
Not one word of this is true" explained
NJ. BRAND, pounding the table with both
fists IF there is a country that wants
peace with -allsour hearts, believing IN 1t
with her entire faith, that country is

blocked by flames. and gave the alarms.
Smoke was so dense in the Railways that
boys on the top floors had to take to the
fire escapes, and were unable to save
their belongings

called. and assisted by the students who
hurried to the scene with hand chemicals,

MURDER CASE TO
BE TRIED HERE
United States Court to Hear Case of Pri-
yate Antonio L0renZO-Bribe and
\ Booze Gases on Docket.

The trial of Private Antonio Lorenzo.
the soldier of troop ID, Third Cavalry
who is charged with tie killing of PrI
vate John Joseph Rogers at Fort Ethen
Allen viii be held at the term of United
States court which viii open in Brattle-
boro the third Tuesday in December.
Because Lorenzo. is charged with a
crime punishable BY death he cannot be
tried by court martial at the post as are
the respondents charged with lesser
crimes. 1t has not been decided that
Lorenzo is guilty of murder or that he is
innocent and his trial win therefore be
before a United States judge in a civil
liam court.
This will be the most important case
to be- tried at tho Bfattleboro term of
court. Lorenzo was on guard duty at
Fort Ethan Allen, October 6 in a troop
a prisoner. The men had some sort of
an alteration in which, it is reported
Rogers told Lorenzo that he wouldn t
dare shoot him. A minute later Rogers
was stretched on the floor with bullet
from a 30-calibre revolver lodged in his
spine. The bullet had entered through
his mouth. The man died shortly after
wards at the Post hospital.
Another case which expected to be
pressed at this term of court will be
| that of Col. William Chamberlain, form
erly of the English army, who is charged
with attempting to bride customs officials
| into allowing him to smuggle over the
line thousands of quarts of whiskey.
| In addition to these cases there will
be, the liquor cases which are now re-
garded as a part of the routine business
| The number of these cases will not be as
| large as in the last few terms for the
reason that booze smuggling has faller
loft along the border. Federal officials
report that this traffic has fallen off Z;
ner cent in the last year. The official,
have SO thoroughly broken up the mar
smuggling gangs which formerly
operated through this district that M
arrests have been made for the last two
| years for smuggling opium and thos,
