TOOK MOVIE OF
ICEBERG GIRT
JUNEAU, July 25, (By Mail).—Dr.
Leonard S. Sudgeon, who with a party
has been spending the past four weeks
at Taku Glacier and vicinity, endeav
oring to get pictures of that stupen
dous ice river, returned last night and
report a successful trip. The long
time spent there was owing to the tact
that perfect sunshiny weather is nec
essary to take the colored pictures
under the new process which is being
used. But three and a half days, were
experienced during the four weeks on
which pictures could be taken.
Dr. Sudgeon, Carl Winter, James B.
Pond. E. P. Pond. Mr. and Mrs. CruicTc
shank and Miss Grace Webster were in
the party. Miss Webster posed for
numerous pictures and took the lead
in a picture story which was woven
through the glacier scenes taken by
the party.
“Miss Webster did splendidly, said
Dr. Sudgeon this morning, and the pic
tures will show her picking shasta dai
sies, wild roses and other wild flowers
close to the face of the old glacier.
She was equipped with a maroon and
white bathing suit and will be seen
diving from the big bergs and swim- i
ming in .the icy waters around the
face of the glacier. One feature pic
ture taken will show Miss Wrebster as
a modern Physice using a natural pool
formed on an iceberg.”

NOTHING GETS BY
SLY TEUTONS—HERE
ARE LATE TRICKS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Norwegi
ans have purchased in this country an
article known as sugar syrup, a waste
product in the manufacture of sugar.
The Norwegians claimed they wanted
it as fertilizer, but it was discovered
that by distilling it the Germans ob
tained an alcohol used in the manufac
ture of smokeless powder. The ferti
lizers bought in America have been
discovered saturated with lubricating
oil which were extracted by the Ger
mans and used in their great armor
and munitions plants.
The British have not lost a sing.e
gun on the West front since April,
1915.

U-BOAT CAMPAIGN INCREASING
IMPORTANCE OF WESTERN PORTS
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 17.—
The German U-boat is adding daily to
the world importance of the ports of
Tacoma, Seattle, Portland, San Pedro,
and according to a recent communica
tion from the National Council of De
fense, to the Chamber of Commerce
here. The council states in this mis
sive that the Pacific will doubtless es
cape the U-boat menace because of the
difficulty of establishing hidden bases,
and the vast range of water to be cov
ered. As a result base shipments to
Russia and other points in the Far
East, which would ordinarily go by
way of New York, will be brought to
the Pacific coast for delivery across
the ocean.
