QUEEN OF ADRIATIC
IS AGAIN BOMBARDED
BOMBARD VENICE AGAIN
MILAN, July 13.—Austrian aviators bombarded the
city of Venice again yesterday but the extent of the dam
age, if any, has not been told. The fighting on the front
iers is reported officially to be progressing favorably for
us but the fortifications of the Austrians are strong and
this progress is slow- The great battle which was expect
ed to develope on the Isonzo river has become a sort of
deadlock similar to that existing in France and Poland
but with the difference that Italy is on the enemy’s tern-j
torv instead of the reverse.
_
DEADLOCK CONTINUES.
LONDON, July 13—All the information coming
from the French and Flemish fronts up to last night
showed no change in the relative positions of the bellig
erents. Since the capture by the French of the heights
.near Bethune no important engagement has been noted,
but set ere artillerv duels proceed at different points along
the whole line the British succeeded during the past
week in capturing some trenches and shoved back the
enemy at the Vpivs salient while holding their ground
against local attacks at other points. The expected Ger
man general offensive has not materialized yet and doubt
is expressed in military quarters of the truth of the re
ported movement by the Germans westward. All the sta
tistics relating to the war are now being prepared for
publication at the beginning of the month when the con
flict will have lasted just one year. The popular opinion
is gradually inclining toward the idea that the war will
be much longer than has been anticipated, but the belief
in final victory is just as strong as ever, in spite of the
rather pessimsitio feeling arising after the defeat of the
Russians m Galicia.
BRITAIN GETS THREE BILLIONS
LONDON. July 13.—The amount of money subscrib
ed already to the new war loan is three billion dollars, or,
roughly, a fifth of that amount in pounds sterling. The
subscriptions are still coming in apparently as if there
were no limit to the money available and the full loan will
he easily secured.
TO KIDN AP AMBASSADOR
NKW YORK. July 13.—It has just transpired that on
the evening on which Holt shot John Pierpont Morgan six
men tried to kidnap or rob the British ambassador to the
United States while he w as riding in an automobile. The
kidnappers followed the car for a considerable distance
but the chauffeur of Ambassador Spring Rice speeded to
the limit and outdistanced them. The attempt is believed
to have ben connected in some way with the shooting of j
Morgan. _i
1 ST DIVISION
SPITES FACE
(Continued from Page 1)
given this division, if memory is cor
rect. about thirty-five hundred dol
lars and would have given the district
around Seward something over a
thousand dollars, again if memory is
not at* fault.
Now a few days ago some of the
representatives in the legislature
from the First division filed suit to
enjoin the territory from taking any
of the funds secured from the forests
of the First division for use on the
roads of the other divisions. Where
the trouble ccmes for the Fir.st divi
sion. however, is that the Alaska
Koad Commission, of which Colonel
Richardson is chairman, had allotted
the funds available by the commission
for work this year on a basis which
took into account the belief that the
forestry funds would be used as the
legislature had decided to use them.
That is. if there was a certain amount
of work found necessary in any one
of the divisions that amount of work
would have to be done whatever the
amount might be coming from the
forestry funds. The Commission took
into account the amount of forestry
funds allotted to each division by the
legislature and made its allotments
accordingly. Should the suit of the
First divison succeed and should the
greater part of the forestry funds be
turned back to the First Division it
will mean a re-allotment by the Com
mission. It will be found necessary
to take back some of the Commission
funds allotted to the First division
and to add them to the amounts allot
ted to the other division^ to save
those other divisions from suffering.
This of course, means nothing else
than that whether the First division
people win their suit or not they will
gain nothing.
Colonel Richardson is here now to
look over road matters and to as
certain what work will be done with
1
the amount of money available. He
will probably not go to Anchorage.

“ PALACE JINGLES "
Here’s a welcome to Cordova
And the Rooters they may bring.
To help celebrate the Fourth,
And make the Welkin ring.
We'll take them out to see the sights,
And help to fill them up.
We’ll give them everything they want
But we’ll fight them for that cup.

And they should lift that bowl—
We'll show them we’re good losers,
If they get us in a hole.
And if they wish to fill the ci»p,
They won’t have to travel far—
For we’ll fill the cup and drink their
health,
Down at the PALACE BAR.
