Just across tho&jhallway from the
quarters of the Lieutenant on the sec

Countess von Walderdorf have becu
allowed to remain by courtesy of army
officers. Rut the Germans keep * >

fraternization order prohibits Lieut

On the first floor of the castle fi?
t\ Xmerican soldiers have their beds
and mess and a large living room

jth« ’-s company during the long win
ter evenings and tell of their war et

BERING TUNNEL PROJEC T
SAN FRANCISCO, The construc
tion of a tunnel under Bering Strat
thus establishing rail connection be
! l.wrM-n Asia and the American conti
' nent was advocated today by James
L Wickcraham, delegate from Alaska.
| vho is in the city on business. He al
| io advocated aiding Pacific c?ast
f irms in leasing government co.V
! ands in Alaska, with a view to giv
i ng this section cheaper fuel. •
?} The project of boring a tunnel un
l ler Bering Sea was advocated som«'
| JO or i5 years ago by a compar.y,
which even went so far os to secure
* a charter from the American am.,
• Russian governments, setting up th<
poles for a telegraph line and doinj
'other work through Canada and along
I the Yukon but the project was aban
jj Joncd when funds ran out. Fmginecrs
\ at that time estimated the cost of the
enterprise at about three hundred and
fifty millions.
The visit of Delegate Wiekersham
to San Francisco has aroused much
speculation among Alaskans as to h1*
1 real mission here. ;
