BRITISH GET CAREFUL
LONDON, Feb. 5.—The government has been petit
ioned to take control of food stuffs, coal, shipping service
and other matters in order to prevent the continuance of
rise in prices. The petition has been signed by thousands'
of people in all walks of life and is apparently backed up
by the mass of the population. After the meeting of the|
Federation of Trades l nions the subject was taken up by
people of wholly different ways of thinking and England)
is now confronted by a situation which would have been
thought impossible one year ago. The agitation is, how
ever, merely meant as a precaution. At present there is
no distress worth speaking of.
SHIPS TAKE CHANCES
NEW YORK. Feb. 5.—In spite of the fact that Ger

northwestern coast of France are dangerous all the Amer

date named are going to keep those dates. This was
stated today from the offices of the shipping companies
after a meeting of the shipping people.

mans from the Yser where they have begun a series of
tremendous assaults. Minor successes have been secured
by the enemy near Albert but on the whole the relative
positions have not been remarkably altered. Fighting of
a most strenuous description has been proceeding in the
western war field for the past week but the military
authorities of all the belligerent nations are apparently
keeping reports of the results to themselves.
FRENCH PRINCES WANT
TO FIGHT FOR FRANCE.
Rut French Laws Prohibit French
Royalty From Serving.
PARIS, Jan. 29.—Reports that the
Princes of Parma, brothers-in-law to
the Austrian heir apparent, have been
fighting in the Austrian armies, have
caused great indignation in French
circles. The Princes of the Parma
branch of the Bourbon family, descen
dents of Louis XIII. of France, num
ber seven.
It is asserted that they have never
served in Austria during the present
war. The two eldest, Prince Sixtus
and Xavier, went, on the first day of
hostilities, to the recruiting office at
Rlois and asked to be enlisted in ‘he
French army. Their services being
declined by reason of the law pre
cluding members of French royalty
from serving in the army, they wert
to their cousin the King of the Bel
gians, to be enrolled with th* Bel
gians. During the journey P nco
Sixtus was injured in an automobile
accident at Calais and lay for two
days without consciousness.
King Albert came to see the injur
ed Prince and said, to console him for
his enforced inactivity: - “My dear
cousin, you must consider yourself a?
having been wounded on active ser
vice.” As the result of this accident
Prince Sixtus has returned to Piunora,
his estate in Italy. He will not be ful
ly recovered from his injuries fur two
months, but he has expressed »esolu
tion to return in March to take up a
position n the British army, which his
cousin, King Albert, is arranging for
him to have. Those of his brothers
who are old enough to do so, it is said,
will follow his example.
PARIS, Jan. 28.—Instances of1
French women who have been widows
since early in the war and are still
ignorant of their husband’s fate are
often coming to light.
It is not only that the authorities !
have been slow in communicating not-1
l
ice of casualties, but that friends and j
relatives who have heard of deaths i
at the front have evaded the respons
ibility of breaking the news, hoping
that indentifications of the dead have
been mistaken and that the missing .
one may turn up eventually.
A case which came to the writer’s I
notice is probably typical of man>.1
A young woman who was accustomed
to dine with her brother, a newspaper
man, at a restaurant largely patroniz
ed by men of that professon, has ap
peared nightly at the restaurant alone
since her brother was called to join
his regiment, and inquired if his co
workers had heard anything of him.
From a wounded comrade who re
turned to Paris they learned that the

girl’s brother was killed more than I
two months ago, but none of the men
has had the heart to break the news
to the sister.
There are also thousands among the
6,000,000 school children of France,
most of whose fathers are in the army
who have failed to learn the true an
swer to their repeated queries during
the holiday season:- “why doesn’t
papa come home.”
The answer probably cannot be giv
en in a majority of cases until the
publication of the full lists of losses,
which, however, has not yet been de
cided upon by the French government.

NEWS NOTES ,
Gus Manthey is now the city’s night
wachnra, or, to be sure, he was last
night.
In last shipment of. bananas to the
Seward Commercial company came a
young tarantula which is now to be
seen in the Gateway window.
George Palmer, the Knik merchant,
is indisposed and was unable to come
here on his expected visit. He will,
however, come later on.
A four round boxing contest will be
brought off this evening by the Moose
after the meeting. Several clever
boxers have entered. The Moose
quartette will supply music. When
the secretary of the organization gave
in this notice this morning he stated
that music lovers particularly should
be present.
Rev. Mr. Cook, Dr. Romig, Ike
Evans, Dr. Schalaben and the ladies
of the families went out today to Mile
Twelve for a trip.
In travelling around town and try
ing to find out the opinion of the peo
ple on the latest rfews concerning the
government railroad it can be seen
that Seward at last sees clearly that
its chief opponents have been knock-1
ed out cold. Go down the town and
if you can find anyone speaking of
Portage Bay or even of Cordova you
can find a white black bird.
