FRENCH GENERAL. PAUL |. ], PAU.
 SuCCuMBs PARIS
NOTED WORLD WAR COMMAN DER PASSED AWAY FROM
 OLD AGE

PARIS, Jan. 1, (P)- General Paul Mary Cesar Gerald Pau, noted French war commander, died today his home here at the age of 83 years.
 General Pau was born at Monte imar, November 29, 1848. After obtaining a common school educa- ton, he entered the Saint Cyr Mil itary Academy, the West Point of France, from which he was grad uated just before the Franco-Prus- sian War.
 When the crushed and beaten armies of France returned to what was left of their disnembered country after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, there was among them a young offlcer-paul Gerald Pau who had entered the service as a cadet and fought his way through to captaincy.
 Through the long years thas in tervened between 1870 and 1914, he took his place as one of the most patient and confident of the archi- tects who planned and prepared for a return match with the victorS. During this period he had ad vanced at a steady pace until he became, in 1911, brigadier general and a member of the Supreme War Council of France At this point he was retired because of his age.
 Then came the great day for which he had waited so long. As all Europe became vast mobiliza- tion camp, the old fire famed out again in General Pau, and by pOpu lar demand, he reentered the Su- preme Council of War to accept command of the Army of ALsace. It was there that his right fore arm had been shot away in the battle of Froeschwiller, back in 1870.
 "Prussians," he said on that day, T have but one arm, but it shall be of bronze"
 When the World War began, Gen. eral Pau was regarded in military sense as ranking with Generals Joffre and Galliene. but in popular favor he far out-stripped any fig ure in the French army. It was only because of his age and his none too robust health that he was not made Field Marshal early in the conflict.
 General Pau visited the United States for a few days in 1919, com ing to New York after a tour ot | Canada.

 One thing is certainty, the Ed itor does not propose to continue carrying the load of publishing an eight-page daily paper single day longer than is now necessary we do not believe there is another business in town which has lost more money in two years than the Gateway. It has now come 10 a noint where we must make up not only what we have lost but 9 req sonable profit for our endeaVors. We are going to do that or turn the key in the door. No one in Seward has worked harder or more conScl- entiously for the upbuilding of this city and districts than the Gate way staff to whom long hours has never meant a thing. One and all enjoy their work but they are SICK of being made the "goat."
 Retrenchment has followed re- trenchment in practically every business in Seward during the last two years with the possible excep- tion of the Gateway Publishing Company which has c n s ntly striven to maintain it's standard of the last seven years This standard could not be expected to continue indefinitely in the face of the an- nual deficit of the last two years. That time has now arrived; 1t IS impossible to continue with an g. page daily with the present in come.
 There are a number of local concerns who have never adver- tised in the daily either for person al reasons or took the paper for granted; that is their preroga- tive, of course, but we cannot re- train from saying we have heard that from that source alone has come criticism of the GateWay's progressive attitude. It is this progressive attitude which h 8 s caused the combined circulation of the Gateway to grow almost as big as that of the Fairbanks News Miner and the Anchorage Times combined circulation; both of those towns are two or three times the size of Seward yet the cost of pub fishing 8 daily here is as great, but the advertising income is relatively smaller.

 Contrary to the belief of many U requires cash to publish a news paper. We are not getting enough cash so, like other concerns, must fetrench or quit.
 We have no apologies to make, only condemnation of ourselves in that we did not have the foresight or "guts" to put this retrenchment into practice two years ago.
 New size paper has been ordered by telegraph and the first issue of the four-pager should appear in about 10 days

WHEAT TRADERS SEE
MAJOR CROP SCARE
Melting of Snow Expected to Start
Reports Of Another
Big Yield.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, March 26.-Many wheat
traders are bracing themselves to meet
a major crop scare as soon as snow has
melted and growing weather starts.
Although anxiety as to moisture sup
ply for the United States Winter wheat
crop as a whole has been largely re-
lieved, complaints from poor sections
of the Winter wheat belt are expected
to multiply, and predictions have in
creased that damage by recent severe
temperatures will prove greater than
expected. In some quarters belief pre-
walls that the crop outcome on about
100000 acres will be extremely un-
certain.
Meanwhile, a huge surplus being COM
pared to the sword of Damocles has
hung over the market. Compared with
prices week ago, wheat this morning
was 1R-21s cents lower, corn 12-1& of
oats varying from u decline to a shade
advance and provisions 10 to 81 cents
down.
Reports as to the wheat crop outlook
in Western Kansas, Western Nebraska
and Eastern Colorado, as well as the
Texas Panhandle and parts of Okla
homa, are decidedly unfavorable. This
area has produced large crops for sew
eral years and has been mainly respon-
sible for the countrys abnormal exist
ing supply No accurate figures have
yet been made as to probable loss in
acreage as compared with that seeded
last Fall but the general run of re-
turns suggests the minimum will be
100000 acres or more.
1t is pointed out that the 1881 entire
domestic Winter wheat acreage is rel
atively small, and that should there be
big losses, the crop curtailment would
easily be sufficient to alter the COM
plexion of the wheat market situation
to a great extent. Losses east of the
Missouri River, though, are expected to
be light unless there is some unusual
development. Domestic Spring wheat
acreage increase is looked for, but in
many sections of the Northwest, owing
to crop shortage last year and scarcity
of feed grains, the supply of wheat is
too small for planting requirements.
