to be hoped that the remainder of the

Tile office of the W. J. Howe has
been enlarged to double its former size
and the ceiling has been raised two
feet. The ceiling will he of steel. An
interesting fact about the floor is that
it is made of flexatile, a sort of ce
ment, which while it never wears out
is impervious to water and at the
same time IS so flexible that it giv. s
with the heaving of the building wiih
out cracking, in the front part of the
office the floor will have the inlaid
figure of a horse suggestive of the
Arm's business. The new floor is pink
in color with a green border. Tt s so
far as is known is the first use of
flexotili in any building in Alaska.
The city couneilmen who could net
find time to escape to the country are
expecting the absent mayor to return
today in time for an executive ses
sion of the councilmanic body this
j . veiling. As the stay at home Conn
ie Union have decided to go ahead with
the pumping plant regardless of the
prospective veto of the mayor, the ar
rival of that functionary will not ef
fect the pumping plant situation in the
least. It will, however, have the effect
of clearing up a vast deal of impor
tant business which has been neglected
several weeks owing to the absence of
a quorum.

eeived at the military headquarters of
the allied forces today declare that the |
Serbians have again achieved /in over- j
whelming victory over the Bulgarians !
.a tlie- vicinity of Kaimakitschalau.
The reports state that the Serbians !
have penetrated the second line of Bul
garian defenses in the vicinity of the
town after delivering a crushing blow ,
which further jeopardizes the Bulgar
ian right wing and threatens the col
lapse of the entire defense in that sec
t ion.
The intense artillery fire of the
Serb forces almost completely deniol- :
ished the Bulgarian trenches before the .
final assault which was followed by it
terrific battle when the Serbs ad
vanced.
In addition to capturing ten machine
guns, the Serbs are also reported to
have taken a considerable quantity of
supplies which the Bulgarians were
unable to remove to safer positions.
The Serbians have successfully with
stood all counter attacks find are
r
again bombarding the enemy positions.

BERNSTORFF CLAIMS
CAR60 OF EMDEN,
SUPPLY SHIP
Pacific News Service.
SEATTLE, Sept. 16.—Ambassador
Bernstorff has made claim on behalf
of the imperial German, government
to the cargo of the schooner Annie
Karson, consisting of guns, ammuni
tion and coal.
The Anie Karson put into Lisbon
fourteen months ago. She was to have
met the German commerce destroyer
Einden in the South Pacific but failed
to do so. After a long search for the
warship, the schooner rat) out of pro
visions and came to Puget sound to
replenish.
The significance of Bernstorff's pres
ent claim for the cargo is that It Just
ifies and proves the charges made
against Von Pa pen’ by the Pnited
States. Von Papen, attache of the
German embassy at Washington, was
declared by our state department to
be engaged in the business of out
lining relief ships and other enter
prises not consistent with his diploma
tic position and his recall was de
manded. After some hesitation on the
part of the German government he was
recalled but in a manner indicative of
protest.
Von * i.ernstoifT's present action
leaves no doubt as to the truth of the
charges against Von Papen.
