FIFTEEN BOYS KILLED
LONDON, Dec. 17.—Amongst those killed by the
shells from the German warships that raided this place
yesterday were fifteen school boys. A shell from the Ger
man guns fell in a group of the schoolboys and this one
shell killed every boy in the group with the exception of
one. Ten other people were killed by the collapse of a
building in which they had taken refuge. All the Germans
who were naturalized citizens of the British empire and
who resided in the towns near the place where the raids
took place have been arrested as a step towards discover
ing how the German ships received the information which
they undoubtedly had about the condition in the neighbor
hood One pleasant effect of the raid has been an immense
increase in the number of the men offering themselves for
service in the army Enlistments today were very heavy
and this fact is due certainly to the belief that the raid has
shown that the invasion of this country by the Germans
is by no means impossible
ARGENTIN A MIXED UP
BL'ENOS AYRES, Dec. 17—After a hot chase the
cruiser Pueyrredon of the Argentine republic seized the
German steamer Patagonia yesterday and brought .her in
here as a prisoner. The Patagonia is charged with having
brought supplies to German warships before the recent
naval battle and afterwards to the Dresden. 1 his country
has decided to insist on strict neutrality and is now mak
ing an effort to ferret out all the German agencies which
have certainly been active along the coast.
SHIPS DESTROYED
PETROGRAD, Dec. 17—The German steamer Deren
ties has been sunk by a Russian warship in the Black sea
and many of her crew were lost.
TRIESTE, Dec. 17.—An official announcement has
been made that the Austrian training ship Beethoven has
been sunk by a mine. All the crew and the young cadets,
numbering several hundreds, were lost.

*Tis a long way to Tipperary from
Seward hut Bob Guest, our chief of
police, has just received a photograph
of his brother, Color Sergeant Allen
Guest, who is now serving at the front
in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. Mr.
Alien Guest had just finished 21 years
service as a soldier and had retired
on a pension when the war broke out.
One month after retiring Mr. Guest ^
rejoined the colors to fight for Great:
Britain which quite a few Tipperary,
men have come to regard as their own j
country since they got Home Rule
over there. Color Sergeant Guest and ,
our own Bob are Tipperary men,:
hence the allusion to the now famous j
marching song of the British army..
Even Leo Margules says Bob’s brother
is a fine looking soldier and when ;
Leo Margules says a British soldier
can be good looking he must be. that’s,
all. j

LANE TELLS OF
WESTERN WANTS
(Continued from Page l)
lems presented in his department.
“It cannot be unknown to you,” the
i Secretary says, “that there is through
out the country, more especially in the
Western states—which because of j
I their ambition are naturally impatient j
! of obstruction—a very real fear of
what is called the bureaucracy of
Washington. This is said to be a sys
tem or organized machine, the spirit
of which is to oppose action or to ef
fect negative action. It is visualized
as either cynical or malevolent, alto- j
gether out of sympathy with those
which 1 thought consonant with the
advancing spirit of our time and would
meet the demand of the West. There
! were five of these measures, one pro
I viding for a government railroad sys
tem in Alaska; an Alaskan coal-leas
ing bill; a new reclamation act; a bill
providing for a new method of open
ing and developing coal, phosphate,
[ oil, and potash fields ami a waterpow
! er bill. All of these measures have
1 passed the House of Representatives,
; and the first three also passed the
who needs must come to the govern
ment for some form of help, and so
wound round and round with the red j
tape of officialdam as to resemble a j
barbed-wire entanglement which, if,
not absolutely impregnable, is only to':
be passed through after much suffer
| ing and toil. It is a matter of no im-1
’ mediate concern how much basis there j
• is for this belief. The presence of the j
! belief makes it a real problem, and the :
j destruction of the belief a necessity,i
if the government itself is to remain j
an object of pride ami its beneficent (
eiTorts understood and appreciated.”
Secretary Lane points out the ac
complishments of the several bureaus
of the Interior Department during the
; last year. Some of the typical and
important achievements he instances
follow:
General Land Office: Reduced the
delay in acting upon homestead final
proofs by fifty per cent; Surveyed
more than 17,000.000 acres of public
lands at a cost of less than four cents
an acre, the lowest record of cost for
such work ever made.
Geological Survey: Completed geo
logical surveys covering 12,000 square
miles, including 180 square miles in
Alaska, the total area surveyed geo
logically being as great as the combin
ed area of Denmark, Switzerland and j
Greece; Classified 47,000,000 acres of
public lands, an area larger than the;
New England States; made an annual:
census of mineral production through
correspondence with about 90,000 min
eral producers.
Bureau of Tensions: Returned to the
Treasury $7,658, 572 of the amount
appropriated by Congress; reduced
the total of expenditures for pensions
from $174, 171, 660 in the preceeding
year to $172,417,546; saved to pension
ers about a million dollars formerly
spent for the execution of vouchers, by
abolishing the voucher system of pay
ing pensions.
