highest type of German engineering skill.
 Von Hindenburg suffered the first shock when after having ordered his troops to hold the town of Passchen- daele, Belgium, 'at all costs" divi- sion of Canadians stormed the town and captured it. British, American and French gunners finally smashed the famous line to pieces. Notwith. sanding his reverses he conducted a safe retreat and received the tele- graphic congratulations of the War Lord, but the Allied offensive made resistance hopeless.
 On October 3, 1918, von Hindenburg was called to Berlin and there attend ed the council at which Prince Maxi milan of Baden was made chancellor There the conqueror of Tannenburg presented the facts that on October 15 resulted in the armistice proposal to the Allies by Germany. He told his Hearers that to continue the strug gle longer would only result in horri ble losses and devastated Germany
 The next day abusive placards holding up vonHindenburg to obliquoy and ridicule were posted all over the empire. The man once the idol oi the nation was now detested and de nounced and with his fall came top bling down the Hohenzollern dynasty which had failed to prove that right can be overcome by might"
 In an order to the army in the field he announced that he support ed all government peace moves. Sub sequently the armistice signed and the former emperor and crown prince fugitives in Holland, he went to Eys den and after a conference with the former emperor, placed the army al the disposal of the revolutionary gov ernment.

NEW RAILROAD
 INCORPORATED

Articles of incorporation of the Prince William Sound Railroad Com pany have been filed in the office of the Secretary of Alaska. The incor- porators are George w. Robbins, Geo. J. Love and Joseph l.. Reed of Valdez. The company is incorporated for one hundred thousand dollars, divided into 10000 shares at $1O each, com mon stock.
 Members of the board of directors to serve until a board is elected, are George w. Robbins, George J. Love, Joseph L. Reed, John E. Hughes, and Chester J. Todd, all of Valdez.
 The articles of incorporation call for the construction of main line of railroad from some point on or near tide water at the head of Passage Ca nal, Prince William Sound, in gen. eral westerly direction by practi- cable route to point on the Alaska IldllTOdu, ct UT HCdI TOIJdSc, I AidShd
 The original survey of the line from the Alaska railroad to Portage Bay, shows that a tunnel six miles long would have to be constructed, and part of this tunnel would run under a live glacier. The estimated cost for the short stretch of line, at 1915 prices for labor and material, was about $15,00O0 900, but it has since been stated that it would be impossi- ble to maintain a railroad up the val ley from the Alaskan railroad owing to annual floods, resulting from lakes forming in the large glacier at the head of the valley. MT. John E.. Bal laine has all the survey and field notes and is authority for saying that if a railroad could have been built from Portage Bay he would have built from there instead of from Seward.
 The S1O0,00O capital, if subscribed would not construct a mile of the ne cessary tunnel.

The former chief of the German General Staff wrote his memoirs in 1919 and for them was said to have received 100000 marks. In them von Hindenburg defended ex-Empe- TOT William, admitted forcing the ruthless U-boat war and explained the causes which led up to the world conflict. He resigned command of the German army i'll June, 1919.
 President Ebert, in assenting to the Field Marshals request, express ed the undying thanks of the German people for von Hindenburg's services and self sacrifice
 Of late years sentiment in favor of von Hindenburg has gradually in creased resulting in his nomination and election as president of the Ger man republic.
