BERLIN, Nov. 1—Reports have
been circulated that the Germans
have shown a contempt for inter
national laws ever since hostilities
began among the waring nations.
And while this may be true in many
instances, yet others have not shown
better disposition if the following
is true:
It is said that unfortified towns
on the Gallipoli Peninsula have been
bombarded by the allies, resulting
in the death of many women and
children, that the hospital at Maidos
outside the military zone was at
tacked by aircraft and that ten
wounded inmates were burned; that
the training ship Toughan on her
way to Constantinople with 700 pas
sengers. was attacked without warn
ing by a British submarine in May;
that the unarmed steamer William
Rickmers, flying a Red Cross flag
and carrying 700 wounded, was at
tacked by a British submarine in
July, without warning; and that
small craft of the allies which were
used for landing troops and war
materials were protected by a hos
pital ship.
These charges were published in
the Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zei
tung, quoting from which the Over
seas news agency says:
“The Turkish government protests
against these violations of inter
national law. If they continue the
Turkish government will be com
pelled to make reprisals.”

PREPARING FOR CONSCRIPTION
YOKOHAMA, Nov. 1—Prepara
tions for a possible British conscrip

of the British community, expresses
the hope that through the registra

will willingly fall into line and give
the necessary information. Resi
dents are particularly requested to
state what they are prepared and
qualified to do in case of need.

c Reuter dispatch from Copenhagen,

RICH TUNGSTEN LEDGE IS
FOUND NEAR GILMORE
.
(From Fairbanks Times)
Fairbanks has been put on the
map as a tungsten producer. Yes
terday Albert Johnson reached town
from the head of Gilmore creek and
reported that he had located a ledge
on Tungsten hill, which contained
tungsten in commercial quantities.
During the last few years, a num
ber of outcroppings of tungsten have
’’een found, but never before was it
found in quantities sufficient to
make it commercially valuable.
Mr. Johnson describes the ledges
as being t’lTPe feet wide lying be
tween a magnesia carbonate dike,
from 45 to 50 feet in width, with an
underlying basalt rock. The ore de
posit runs north and south. Assays
of the rock show that it contains
one ton of scheelite to every eight
tons of ore. The scheelite is more
than 80 per cent, pure tungsten, so
that it will be a valuable mine when
opened up. Scheelite sells for 40
cents per pound, so that the ore as
is stands today.will run in the vicin
ity of $800 per ton.
As the ledge is three feet wide and
has been traced for a distance of
150 feet, with indications that it will
extend much farther, Mr. Johnson
feels much encouraged as to the out
’ook. He will leave for the property
within the next day or two and will
start at once to get the property In
shape to take out ore. By spring,
he hopes to have a big consignment
ready for shipment.
In the recorder’s office yesterday,
he recorded three claims which he
staked within the last few months.
They are: The Tungsten lode claim,
the Scheelite lode claim, and the
Gold Reef.

She was a young missionary in
China, not yet quite proficient in the

giving a little dinner to some
friends. During the course of the
meal she asked the servant to bring
in some fruit—at least she thought
she did.
He objected; she insisted; he re
fused; she grew angry. At last
he left the room.
Presently he returned, carrying a
large platter, which he placed before
her with an air of contempt. On
it. carefully arranged, were her hus
band’s everyday trousers.

FIFTH OF FUND IS SPENT
WHILE LAWSUIT PENDS
(From Juneau Empire)
While the suit of Charles A. Sul
er et al against the Treasurer of the
Territory of Alaska is working its
way through the courts in the ef
forts to restrain the Treasurer in
the disbursement of moneys in the
Forestry Fund to districts other
than those in which the moneys were
actually earned, warrants have been
issued from the Treasurer’s office
to the amount of $12,097, which
amounts to a trifle over one fifth
of the entire funeb of $60,000. The
greater part of this disbursement
has gone to the Second Division, the
Nome roads having used up all of
the appropriation for that section.
This morning J. G. Heid as attor
ney for the plaintiffs in this suit,
asked for an extension of time un
til Monday morning. The request
was was granted. J. H. Cobb rep
resents the Territory.
