Property Valued at Seven
Hundred Thousands Lost
AT PIER FOURTEEN
All Is Excitement And Several
Arrests are Made
SEATTLE, Oct. 29—A destructive i
fire of a mysterious origin was
started last night at pier fourteen'
that destroyed property valued at 1
seven hundred thousand dollars. The i
property so destroyed is part of the j
four million dollar cargo that was j
being discharged from the British!
steamer Ionin.
The Ionin has been employed inj
carrying munitions of war to Russia ;
and it was suspected that it would j
load more munitions from this port, i
which gave rise to suspect that the
fire was caused by sympathizers of
the Teutons- Several arrests were
made.
Last Tuesday, two attempts to
burn the pier was made, but the fire
was discovered in time to prevent
any great damage.

FOR THE SORT
Between the ninth and the twen
tieth of October an accident befell
the party aboard the Frances R.. at
the Chickimen river, Behm Canal.'
At the time she was carrying one
sixteen foot round bottom, straight
stern, double-ender, Hoadley built
trolling boat, two rowlock sockets,
painted lead color.
It is of great importance in solv
ing the mystery of the disappear-.
anee of the party to locate the boat.
Any person having seen or heard1
of a boat or wreckage of this des- j
cription being picked up or seen any
where in the vicinity, either end of |
Behm Canal, should at once report '
the facts to Ernest P. Walker, In !

SITUATION IN THE
BALKAN STATES
The Landing of Fresh Troops May
Turn The Tide
PARIS, Oct. 29—Developments in
the Balkan states have had a far
reaching effect on the campaign on
the Gallipoli peninsula. The urgency
of throwing a large force into Sal
oniki has taxed the transport facil
ities of the allies. But this has ap
parently been overcome, if the re
port that a hundred and fifty thous
and men had been landed yesterday
is cored. While no appreciable
gains have been reported by either
the allies or the Turks of late, it is
reasonable to believe that some
thing unusual will be presented
to the world in the near future.

SERBIAN WOMEN
TO JOIN RANKS
—
Two Hundred Fifty Thous-j
and Are Ready to Fight
CHICAGO, Oct. 28—“An army
of 250,000 Serbian women, equal in
number to the entire Serbian reg
ular army, will soon be on the fir
ing line against the German and
Austrian forces,” is the substance
of an address delivered by John R.
Pa'andech, at a Chicago gathering.
Palandech, who is the publisher
of three of the leading Slavonic
newspapers in the country, is one of
the Serbian leaders of the city. Con
tinuing he said: “No woman in
the world are more courageous than
the Serbian women, and they are
not going to sit at home and see
their fathers, husbands and broth
ers driven out of Serbia. Many
Serbian women have been killed
fighting at the front, and I have
learned from my native land that
it will be but a short time before
i the army of women soldiers will
j equal that of the men. It would
be easy for Serbia to sell out as did
Bulgaria and Greece; Germany has
offered land and money but both
will be refused until the very end.”
