ALLIES PREPARING TO
STRIKE GIGANTIC BLOW
France will add 1.300,000 men to
her troops in the field with the open
ing of spring. She has that many
now fully equipped and ready for
action. However, they will be kept
in training and put through a harden
ing process for several weeks longer,
i unless it shall be determined to strike
the Mow that is being planned be
fore that date. In addition to this
great army, there will be another 1.
WKkOOO in reserve to be sent to the
front to keep the ranks full- ami to
; add to the mobility of the army by
adding to the strength of any part of
I the line that might need it or where
| stragetic reasons might demand re
1 inforcements.
England to Strike With 2.000,000
Before the blow that it is expec
ted will give a decisive turn to the
war on the continent Lor 1 Kitchener’s
army in France and Belgium will num
her in excess of I’.- • ' ■'0 In addi
tion to that, it is pnrp sed to have
another 1,000.000 at Lome from wVeh
to draw reinforcemeu5 ? f needed
The British forces will slse he aug
nmented. if the present plans are car
rfcl out. by approximately
men from India and the other British
colonies.
It is estimated that when the
offensive movement shall begin a
gninst the German armies in France
| and in Belgium there will not be less
than 3.500,000 men iu addition to
those who have held the Germans in
check since last October with which
to strike.
Russia is putting additional men
under arms as fast as they can be
armed and equipped, and it is believ
ed that her forces will be overwhelm
ingly stronger than the armies that
Germany and Austria an 1 Turkey can
put in the field against her In the
spring.
Britsh enlistments and moblization
are proceeding at a marvelous rate.
The railway lines are now congested
more than at any other time since
the first moblization- began.

OLDEST ALASKA-BUILT
SHIP BREAKING UP
Pounding to pieces on the rocks
in bleak St. Michael bay. tlie oldest
steam vessel in Alaska will soon dis
appear beneath the waves, according
to advices just received from Nome.
The dying vessel is the steamship
Polotofski. which was one of four
steam vessels built by the Russians
over fifty years ago. Two of these
steamers were built in 1S56 ami two
! in 1833. The hulls were knit from
1 yellow cedar and spruce, hewn from
! an Alaskan forest.
The Polotofski was propelled by
side wheels and had copper boilers.
Her hull was fastened by copper and
iron bolts which were hand made.
In the early seventies this vessel was
taken to Puget Sound, where her boil
ers were taken out and replaced by
| iron ones. Her superstructure also
| was remodeled and she was then sold
| to the Port Blakely Lumber com
[ pany. and used as a towboat.
In 1897 the vessel was towed back
Xortb, to St. Michael, carrying a car
go of lumber and coal. She was used
as a wharf boat a time.
During a heavy gale a few years a
go the old weather beaten warrior
was driven on a reef. It is said that
in spite of her fifty-eight odd years
of service her cedar timbers are still
sound. Gov. Strong has a cribbage
board made from va piece f ceda*
i taken from the Polotofski. It was
sent to him by Capt. ‘ ‘ Billie Moore,
son of the founder of Skagwav.
Moore is now in St. Michael.

HER IDEALS CHANGED.
She Saw a Very Large Light After Site
Was Happily Married.
There was a girt who was quite sure
that wbeu It came her turn to marry
! she could uot live In u bouse any
smaller than her father's. “lutve lu a

thought, needed pleuty of room to flap
; his wings and to practice Ills archery,
he could uot pine in a birdcage. So
she must have an Immense library
with a fireplace that would take a six
' foot log; there must lie a drawing room
with parquetry flooring and thick rugs
sliding about on It; the dining room
must be able to bold a large table with
an Imposing bowl of flowers. She vis
uaiized herself ruling a salon, hostess
, to a brilliant coterie of people who
would help her social ambition and ber
! husband's business.
A school friend of hers came to see
! her a year and a. half after she h d
married and found ber In a little frame
i bouse on a side street, ridiculously
| happy with her husband and her baby
I The back yard was Just about big
! enough to bold a whirling clothes
| frame and a narrow flower bed against
| the fence; the piazza was as snug as a
sailor's hammock, the largest room
; was about the size of the vestibule of
i the bride's girlhood home
"I know what you're thinking."
i laughed the proud little housekeeper to
her guest- "You're wondering how 1
