THE m OF NISH
Hast Obstacle is Cleared from Pas
sage of Munitions from Ger
many to Constantinople.
SOFIA, Nov. 5.—The Bulgarians
have captured the Serbian city ol
Nish after several days of desperate
fighting. The outer forts of the city
were reduced yesterday and when the
inner forts were captured the city
authorities capitulated to save it
from bombardment.
It is reported that a large Serbian
force was captured when the city
fell into the hands of the Bulgars.
Hundreds of cannon and the greater
portions of the munitions of the Ser
bian army were also captured with
the city, as the retreat of the garri
son was cut ofT.
Austrian troops bringing big siege
guns to reduce the forts arrived some
hours after the Bulgarians had cap
tured the forts and will join in the
triumphal entry of the city.
The tall or Nisn removes me iusl
obstacle in the Teutonic passage to
the relief of Constantinople and per
mits of munitions and troops being
sent to attack the Allies on the Gali
poli peninsula. The capture of the
city also releases the large Bulgarian
army in Serbia, and will permit of
the troops being sent to repel the
Russian invasion from the Black sea
and the Allies invasion from Salon
ika.

DEFENSE LEAGUE FAVORS
BIG SUBMARINE FLEET.
Washington: The National De
fense League believes that without a
greatly increased number of subma
rines the present movement for mili
tary preparedness in the United
States will appear to the other na
tions of the world as inefficient.
Primarily the demand for a big
Increase in submarines comes from
the navy officers and naval experts,
but it is significant that this request
is backed up by army officers of high
rank. Particularly among the coast
artillery and the coast fortification
experts is there a strong demand for
submarines. According to the “na
tional defensers” the explanation of
this lies in the fact that there are
at various points on the shores of
the United States portions of the sea
that can be protected by submarines.
This is because fortifications are not
built so that the guns may sweep
these waters, and the currents are so
swift and ungovernable that mines
cannot be placed in them with any
hope of definite results, it is declared.
A big American submarine build
ing company, according to reports re
ceived here today, is operating in
Canada so successfully that, as soon
as the submarines are completed for
the Allies, they are put into the wa
ter and sent across the Atlantic un
der their own power with full war
equipment and ready to meet the en
emy. The building in Canada, which
is devoted to assembling boats oi tne
Holland type, is made necessary be
cause of the international law against
building them in the United States
and then sending them to the Allies.
A submarine costs about a half
million dollars. Three hundred sub
marines flying the Stars and Stripes
would cost less than a week of actual
war, the authorities estimate, and,
since a submarine can destroy any
battleship that floats, a flotilla of 300
of the under-sea craft would be an
unfailing insurance against invasion
by a foreign foe any time.

Alaska Turnip Surprises Cliechacos.
The largest “volunteer” turnip
ever grown on the Kenai peninsula,
is on display in the window of Bor
gen’s grocery. Hank Salisbury, of
Moose pass, planted some turnips in
his garden early this spring and
after seeding the plot had some left
which he threw away. One of these
seeds fell in a moist place near the
path, sprouted and kept on growing.
The turnips of the garden reached
only the usual size, varying from
four to eight pounds in weight, but
the volunteer turnip which Hank
brought to town Saturday, tips the
scales at 11 •■ounds.
Body of David Engy Found.
Dawson: The body of David W.
Enyg, who was drowned recently by
falling from a raft in the Stewart
river, was found in the Yukon river
below Reindeer by the steamer Cus
ca while on her way to Whitehorse.
The boat stopped and the body was
tied to the bank and the officer tele
graphed the police, who sent up a
launch and brought the remains to
Dawson No inquest will be made,
but an inquiry was made by the po
lice and old friends identified the
body as Enyg’s.
Wrangell Enjoying Mining Boom.
Wrangell is enjoying quite a min
ing boom as a result of the Devil's
Elbow property up the Stlkine river
having been taken over by Seattle
capitalists, and the Ground Hog
mining claims having been bonded
by J. G. Galvin, the man who suc
ceeded in interesting the Seattle men
in the Stikine property. Develop
ment work on an extensive scale, is
being carried on at both properties
and the business men of Wrangell
are getting ready to enjoy the period
of prosperity for which they have
waited for many years.
Tolovana Claims Sell Well.
A number of Tolovana claims have
changed hands during the past few
weeks and it is noticed that the prop
erties are being purchased from the
locators by men who have made a i
success of mining in the Fairbanks
or other districts. Sam Godfrey pur
chased the “Red” bench claims op
posite No. 16 above on Livingood,
from Jack Curry and associates for
$5,000. Theodore Kettleson bought
the third tier bench opposite No. 17
Livingood creek, on the strength of
the pay which had been located in
the “Red” claim and has since un
covered a pay forty feet wide and
which looks as if it might be a great
deal wider. The benches are seventy
feet to bedrock and are believed to
have the real paystreak.
Three Chinamen Burned to Death.
Three Chinamen were burned to

A number of the men were badly
injured by jumping from the <-•» end
story of the building to the rods be
low, a distance of 27 feet The ori
gin of the fire is a mystery which w.ll
be investigated by the authorities,
as there is a rumor .that the (ire may
have been Btarted by Filipinos, with
whom the Chinamen had had trouble.
It is reported that the building was
saturated with gasoline and set on
fire.

fellow kicked a dog, which was ly

evidently thinking it was being at

the dog, after realizing its mistake,
is reported to have shown every sign
of sorrow by trying to make friends
