FROM MONDAY’S DAILY
INTERESTING LETTER TELLING
OF EFFECTS OF WAR
IN GREAT BRITAIN
The following is an extract from a
letter received by M. J. Buggc of this
city from W. Jowett, the English min
ing man, which so aptly describes con
ditions on the other sido of tho At
lantic, that we present it verbatim:
“While the war has brought ruin
to some, it means huge fortunes
to many others. Every arsenal, dock
yard, shipyard and factory is work
ing day and night turning out arms of
all kinds, clothing, boots, and tho
hundred and one other things neces
sary for the proper equipment of our
troops and navy, and as tho official
statement says we have three million
men under arms, exclusive of India
and tho colonies, jt takes a lot to
keep them in trim and keep the im
mense amount of ammunition neces
sary on its way to the battlefront.
The men employed in connection with
the above are having tho time of
their lives as far as wages are con
cerned, many of them making as high
as $35.00 per week, which is a big
figure here. Then, contracts for mil
lions of pounds worth of stuff have
been sent to the Vnited States, so
that while it is a bad job for many,
some people will make a lot of money.
Our expenditure at present over the
was is over ten million dollars a
day.
“London is full of companies of
the new army. One sees them inarch
ing in every direction and being
drjlled ready to go to the front.
They are a fine looking lot of chaps.
London is dark at night and all
lights have to he extinguished even
in the street cars and other vehicles
when crossing the Thames or any of
the bridges, and powerful search
lights are streaming over the sky on
the lookout for German Zeppelins
with which their official papers
threaten to wreck London. We have
guns in every direction waiting for
them, and also a good fleet of our own
airships. It is quite possible that
they will make the attempt .and if
so will probably kill a lot of people
and smash up property, but if they
do, SOME of them will never get
back to Germany again.
“While I am writing I can hear
the National Guard which is being
formed for home defense being drill
ed, and on the flat roof in front of
my office building I can see naval
men and special constables who arc
in charge <nf the searchlight and gun
practicing the use of both. Barbed
wire entanglements aro being put
around every opening from the roof
to the cable offices, which are in
this building. All telegraph, cable
and postoffiec have to be guarded
day and night ns do waterworks, rail
way bridges, as we have thousands of
enemies in our midst, who should
have been interned or shipped over
to Germany when the war started,
but unfortunately we have some pro
Germans in our government who like
to deal with the Germans with kid
gloves, don’t like to hurt their feel
ings, thousands of them are employ
ed while many of our own countrymen
are out of work.
“Terrific fighting js now going on
more particularly in Poland with
most awful loss of life for the Ger
mans who attack with masses of men
in close formation and are simply
mown down by machine guns and
rjflo fire, they are making frantic
efforts to got Warsaw, but. I think
they will fail to do so. but with all
their huge losses, the Germans seem
able to pour up more men to the
front. I feel certnih the Allies
will win in the end, but Germany
holds nearly the whole of Belgium,
n big lump of France and of Poland
nnd it's going to take terrific fighting
and loss of life to drive her forces
buck into Germany. She has prac
tically wiped out Belgium, a part of
France and Poland, there is no half
measures with her; it’s war all the
time. Cities, towns, villages and the
whole country lias been wrecked, the
destruction of property has been
simply awful. Since the war started,
a huge number of men have lost
their lives "ml hundreds of thous
ands have been wounded and crip
pled and if the war continues during
this year as many tlijnk it will, at
tho least ten on twelve million of
the finest manhood of the nations,
taking part in the war will be prac
tically wiped out and it will take
the world a generation to recover the
loss an<l it will bring ruin and mis
ery to millions. There is graver dan
ger that other millions will yet be
drawn into this awful and murder
ous war.
The Germans have given notice
that after the 18th last., they will
•start to blockade all British ports
suul sink all shipping without exam
ination to see whether they aro neu
tral or British, there will bo trouble
nil ’round yet;, if they sink a few
hundred Americans Uncle San.
might get bnsy. Our navy will have
to bo busy to try to safeguard our
shipping. Up to the present, 1 con
sider they have done splendid work in
keeping our trade routes open and the
transportation of troops, guns and
army equipment from Canada. Aus
tralia, India and New Zealand and
hundreds of thousands from hero to
the front, without one casualty, is to
say the least, wouderful work. The
German navy has the best of it. the\
keep in safety whero wo can’t get at
them with our ships, in doing their
work, are always liable to be sunk
by mines or submairnes and when
the Germans do come out they won’t
stop to fight, but make for home as
soon as they see our ships coming.
“Mining is at a standstill here and
it is difficult to get any money for
new ventures as no capital can be
put up for anything without the con
sent of the Treasury.
“Let’8 hope the war will soon
finish and the world settle down to
lasting peace and a prosperous time.
Kindest regards to Mrs. Buggo, your
self and all friends.
Yours sincerely.
W. JOWETT.
Seattle, March, 1—While steaming
north from this port to Ketchikan.
Saturday night, the high pressure
piston on the steamer Alki broke,
smashing tho cylinder head and caus
ing a terrific explosion, just as the
steamer was off Bellanac Island. For
tunately nobody was injured. A now
cylinder head was put on and the
steamer turned to retrace her way
back to Seattle. On the return trip,
early Sunday morning, tho Humboldt
was met off Rosario, and the Alki’s
passengers transfered to her. The
Alki then returned to this port and is
being repaired and will sail north a
gain in about ten days. Tho Alki’s
passengers for Ketchikan were Mrs.
Ella Gearhart and daughter, James
Georgeson and wife, N. F. Zimmer
man, Miss Z. K. Ayres. J. McKinson,
Clyde Glenn, Virgil Morgan, Ed. Ben
son, A. Sorinson, Minnie Harvie. Ann

TAKES ANNUAL BATK
Jack Rounsefell had his annual
bath this morning, when he took a
header into the chilly waters of the
bay. Ho and other members of the
Emerald ’a crew, just back from a
trip to Shrimp Bay’ in which they
had gotten lost in the fog, were put
tingt he ship into shape to leave
when Jack trippci over his feet,
and there wasn’t any more to it but
a splash, a gasp, a scramble out and
a quick run home for dry clothes.
Then C'apt. Adams recorded tho in
cident in the log and it thus became
history. Jack says the water is not
warm.,

Contsantinople, March, 1-—The cab
inet is preparing to follow the Bid
tan to Brousa, where the scat of gov
ernment of the Turkey’ will be moved.
That the Allied fleet will win through
the Dardanelles is accepted here as
being inevitable, as they are slowly
but surely advancing. None of the
ships has been seriously injured by
the gun fire of the forts as they
possess guns of longer range than the
forts and are thus able to lay out of
range and batter them as they see fit.
The submarines have swept up all the
mines and are guarding the passage
so that those of the Turks canuot at
tack.

lish Channel by a French efiliser and
taken into Brest where she is now be
ing held. The Dacia was formerly of
German register, being changed to
American sine<l the declaration of War.
The British government claimed that
the transfer was a blind and that the
vessel in fact still remained Ger
man property, and gave it out at the
time she sailed that she would be
intercepted. The fact that a French
vessel arrested the Dacia, adds an
other complication to the matter.
-+
London, iNJareh, 1—It is stated here
unoficially that an agreement lias been
reached between the British and their
allies to notify all neutral countries

FROM TUESDAY’S DAILY
Loudon, March 2—The great fleet
of British and French vessels attack
ing the Dardanelles is now sixteen
miles inside the channel, and pouring
in a stream of shell day and night
on the forts at Tchanak Kalessi. These
batteries arc the last henvy ones that
stand between the fleet and Con
stantinople. The Turks have no high
angle guns and are helpless against
the monoplanes from the French bat
tleships, which, staying out of rifle
range are dropping bombs and darts
on the garrisons o ftlio forts, at times
compelling them to leave their guns
and seek cover. The Allies have their
flags flying over the forts at the en
trance to the Straits, and hundreds
of their men are at work getting
them in shape again. It. is reported
in Athens that the decision of the
Turkish government to move the capi
tal to Brousa is in direct opposition
to the wishes of Germany who wanted
it moved to Adrianoplc.

Juneau, Marosh 2—Gov-i.imt
Strong’s iressago was road at a joint
mooting of both houses of the Terri
torial Legislature this afternoon at
two o ’clock. It recommends safety,
sanity and economy in the enactment
of law. impressing praticularly the
great need of carefulness by the Leg
islature. It declares in favor of a
full and complete territorial form of
government for Alaska; the passage
of adequate revenue and taxation
laws, with the taxes to be paid by
those able to do so; the abolition ol
the poll tax, of the tax on caunerios
and other fisheries. lie opposes the
creation of the office of Attorney
General by the Terrieory on the
ground that Congress provides that
the office shall bo paid for by the
Federal Government. Ho favors the
Australian ballot, a currupt practic
es act, and the direct primary to pro
tect the purity of the elections in the
Territory. He also favors an eight
hour law and a workmen’s compen
sation net. provided the Legislature
after investigation believes the in
dustries of the Territory have reached
a point making it practical and just.
He believes that the towns of the
Territory should have the right to
operate under a commission form of
government and recommends that the
Legislature take the necessary steps
to bring it about. He concludes by
deploring the fact that the Territory
of Alaska is denied the same privil
eges as far as legislation is concern
ed, now possessed by Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the Philippines, and by prev
iously organized territories.

HUMBOLDT RETURNS
•
After a lay off and a general over
hauling extending from her keel to
her topmasts, the steamer Humboldt
arrived in port yesterday morning
on her first trip for 1915. The vessel
is in perfect shape and her presence

service of this region, which at times
this past winter has been very rag

Alaska is concerned.

New York, March 3—Following an
unsuccessftil attempt to -blow up St.
Patrick’s Cathedral in this city, the
police last night arrested two men
responsible for the outrage. Upon
being questioned the men made the
statement that they were part of a
gang of anarchists wdio planned the
murder of all the monied men of the
United States, starting with Andrew
Carnegie and the two Rockefellers.
The plot the police state had boon
hatching for close to seven months,
during which time the Secret Service
in various parts of the country had
been working to frustrate the anar
chists. The plot had participants in
many of the eastern and southern
states, dozens of whom have been
arrested in that time. The two men
arrested last night are believed to be
the ring leaders ,and their arrest will
probably mean the disorganization
of the gang.

London, March 3—Word arrived
from the admiral in command of the
British vessels taking part in the at
tack on the Dardanelles, that a severe
storm had compelled the fleet to with
draw from the attack, thus giving the
Turks a chance to repair the damage
inflicted on the forts at Tchansk
Kalessi by the shells of the ships,
rushed down from Constantinople
to assist in the defense, and it is
tofeared that new guns are being sent
down also. The storm has been raging
for several days, so that it was with
difficulty that the ships have been
able to continue the attack in the
narrow roadstead, in which they had
to keep continually moving to avoid
their range being discovered. Last
night the wind increased to- such an
extent that they wore forced to with
draw completely, with the exception
of several torpedo boat destroyers left
on patrol duty. Turkish prisoners
captured when the outer Dardanelle
forts were taken have been landed
in France where they will bo interned.

Athens, March 3—It is reported hen
that a party of marines and blue
jackets from the French and British
vessels now attacking the defenses
of the Dardanelles has been dispatch
eil to Bulair on the Gulf of Saros to
capture the Isthmus. If this expi
dition is successful, it will mean that
supplies and reinforcements will 1 <•
cut off from the forts of the Dard
anelles, at least as passage from Con
stantinople by water is concerned
The land between the Gulf of Saros
and the Sea of Marmora is not more
than five miles in width and is un
defended. Its occupation will control
Gallipolis and Lapsaki, both forts on
the upper Dardanelles, in addition
to the fortifications at Tchansk Kal
essi.
--—+
Paris, March 3—-It is stated in of
ficial circles here that a conference
is beingheld on board the ships
attacking the Dardanelles between
those in command of the expedition
and several generals of the Husslan
army. The result of the conference
will bo watched fur with a great deal
of interest, as much depends on the
operations in Turkey. If t lie fleet
decides that the nut is too bard for
them to crack it will be virtually a
victory for Germany and Turkey and
will mean that thousands of Moslems
now hanging off will decide to
throw iu their lot with Turkey. On
I lie. other hand, if the attack is push
ed to a successful termination it will
result in all the countries of the Bal,
leans joining isues with the Allies,
overrunning Austria and forcing the
fighting in the east at least on the
German soil.
