 Nothing was saved from the build ing. from which MT and Mrs. Fred Dimler, teachers and their children, Caroline and Lionel, barely escaped with their lives. In addition to the loss of the building, and all school records and supplies, the Dimlers lost all of their personal possessions.
 "The only satisfactory thing about the whole accident was the splendid spirit of helpfulness, thoughtfulness and cooperation shown by the h. dians and whites, both civilians and army in assisting the Dimlers,' MT. Startling said.
 Gifts of money, exceeding $500 were collected by both the Indians and white population in addition to clothes, bedding, food, dishes and even furniture to aid MT. and Mrs. Dimler following their loss.
 Supplies for the school will be sent to Yakutat by OLA as soon as possible in order that class work may be resumed as quickly as can be.

Big Mystery Of Fate of 8
 Missing Men
Search Parties, Private and Coast Guard, Reveal No
 Clues 10 Westward

CORDOVA, Alaska, Nov. 28-(De- layed) Mystery still veils the fate of eight men aboard Arthur C.. Clarke's fishing boat, missing since November i3.
 A close search Wednesday of the sound waters and shorelines by two boats employed by the Coast Guard failed to reveal a clue.
 A brief aerial search by private plane was equally in vain.
 The Coast Guard, starting Sun day, planned an extensive search of the shorelines and islands and may use a plane as well as boats.
 Several boatmen, of many years experience in the waters of this section still maintain the men are still alive and holed-up at some obscure spot, unable to reach communication center, and await ing rescue. Missing Men
 The missing men were bound for the Roberts Lumber Company camp on Fidalgo Bay, 50 miles from here.
 They are George Roberts, the mill owner; Arthur G. Clark, the boat owner; Skipper Frenchy Gordon, and Jack Koski, Tommy Moore, Harry Wilson, Martin Munsen and Oscar Hill, new workers for the camp.
 Theories advanced by local and experienced boatmen range all the , way from serious catastrophe to the possibility that the men have put in at an out of the way cove to avoid a storm or to repair a breakdown.
 The first definite knowledge that the men were missing was revealed here last Tuesday with the arrival of Mrs. Roberts from the camp saying that the men were long overdue.
 The route of the missing boat would lead around Knowles Head, where storms stir up treacherous waters.

ALASKA VIEWED
 FROM MILITARY
 POINT BY CHINA

Even in China military people are evidently as keenly alive to the strategic importance of Alaska as are our own citizens. In his book, Action in the East the au- thor, Dowd O'Gallagher, tells of a meeting with lieutenant-general of the Chinese Army in which the general told of the method in which, in his judgment, the war would be won. The following is quoted from pages 291-292 of the book:
 He pulled large map, roughly drawn on rice paper, from his small tin trunk, and laid it on the floor. We all knelt around it, and through Sar-Jin the general explained:
