OIL TANK FLOATS
LIKE SHIP AT SEA
KATALLA: A huge tank, 45 feet
in diameter and twenty feet high, was
successfully towed to its destination
on its own bottom, over ten miles of
open sea and over the two dangerous
bars in front of Katalla
The St. Ellas Oil Company, now
running a refinery at the Katalla oil
fields, found it necessary to move th«
tank which has stood for several
years on a hillside at Pete’s Point
to its operating plant. Capt. Ben
Durkee, who had charge of the job,
went against the advice of the en
tire community, and decided to move
it without removing the rivets and
taking it to pieces.
The tank was skidded down the
hill to the tide water and towed by
two launches. It weighs fifteen tons,
lias a capacity of 5200 barrels, and
drew six inches of water when afloat.
Capt. Durkee, who in the course of
bis transportation career, has towed
and transportated nearly every known
object under the sun. says this is the
first time he has ever navigated the
dangerous waters of Alaska in a tub.

PACIFISTS PtTRStmra
CHIMRRA, SAY FHBNCH
PARIS, Dec. I.—“Ten thousand
of words sent each day by wireless
across the Atlantic by the Teutons
are a travesty on the systematic de
signs the Germans are pursuing in
this war,” says the Temps in its
leader on "The New Pacifist Cam
paign.”
“All that does not prevent discus
sion among the Germans,” continues
the paper, "as to the objects of the
war in an entirely different tone. A
great majority of the people and the
most influential parties have not
abandoned the idea of annexation
with military and economic guaran
tees that would produce a most ini
quitous and insupportable pence.
They see nothing on the war map
but occupied territories, which en
courages them to believe that peace,
concluded under the present condi
tions, would still bring" them ap
preciable advantages; hence these in
vitations to American pacifism re
sumed and developed by the entire
Germano-Philo press.
“American humanitarian pacifists
are pursuing a chimera. Their ex
cuse is that they liv.e,4oo far from
the' events to form a clear idea of
what Germany wants, and of the
methods by which she seeks to re
alize her plans of conquest and of
spoliation.''

SPENDS 40 CENTS A
DAY FOR FOOD ALONE
CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Hope that ex
pense of feeding the twelve members
of the Chicago health departments
diet squad might drop much below
the prescribed cost limit of 40 cents
a day a person has been' abandoned,
Dr. John Dill Robertson, health com
missioner, said today.
"The exact cost lb going to be clo3e
to the 40-cent maximum for the food
alone." he said. "We' have made no
allowance for light, heat, service or
other overhead expense.
Dr. Robertson saidf that ia was his
opinion that the test is of greatest
value to the middle class of people.
With the beginning today of the
sixth day of the two weeks’ test there
was a net gain of five pounds in the
aggregate weight of the twelve mem
bers of the squad. Breakfast con
sisted of slewed apricots, cornmeai1
mush, buttered toast and coffee.
