LONDON. Oct. 8—London police
men and detectives are becoming
more particular every day in their in- J
vestigation of the movements of al
iens. German and Austrian women
are now watched quite as carefully as
the men. The discovery of maps of j
railway bridges in the baggage of a |
German governess employed by a
prominent London family and the de
tection of carrier pigeons in the pos
session of alien women who had refus
ed to report them forced officials to
stricter regulations.
Within the last week more than
500 Germans and Austrians in London
have been taken to compounds. Many
of these were destitute and others
were suspected of being spies.
LONDON. Oct. 8—The report that
some 200.000 men af the British for
ces lack overcoi.ts has prompted a re
tired naval officer to suggest an Amer
ican idea. “During the Civil War in
America," he writes in a letter to the
Times, “the Confederate soldiers made
good overcoats out of blankets. A slit
was cut in the center just large
enough to put the head through. The ;
slit was then hemstitched to prevent
its getting larger. A flat button was
then sewn on one side at the center of
the slit, and a tab with a buttonhole
on the other side, so as to close the
hole when not in use. Some of the
Southerners added a small slit or a
piece of tape in which they carried a
toothbrush instead of a flower."
LONDON, Oct. S—“The British av-1
iators, while working by method, pur
sue different tactics. It may be said
that not a flight has been made with
out some definite object in view.” The
British ‘’Fifth Arm” is under the di
rections of Brigadier-General Sir D.
G. Henderson, Director of Military
Aeronautics; anti the Commander of
the Royal Flying Corps. Colonel F. H.
Sykes, is also in the field, The Royal
Flying Corps has its headquarters at
the base; but each squadron also has
a base, and these bases are in tele
graphic communication with head
quarters and, of course, with the Gen
eral Staff.
“Many of the wountled soldiers back
from the front speak of the persistent
way in which German aeroplanes flew
over the positions during the different
engagements, and signalled to their
artillery datas by which the range
could be corrected and kept. Not a
word has been said as to our own av
iators performing similar service for
our artillery, but that is simply be
cause the testimony that has reached
us so far is from men who were only
in a position to see but very small
sections of the operations. As a mat
ter of fact, our Army fliers have been
directing artillery fire, and to good
purpose.
LONDON, Oct. 8—The destruction
of Louvain has brought a pang to the
hearts of the Irish people, for the Un
iversity of Louvain was for centuries
the great university for Irish students
and especially ecclesiastical students,
there being no such an institution in
Ireland itself. During the last two cen
turies or so it has turned out over
three-hundred Irish priests, and near
ly thirty Irish Bishops and Archbis
hops.
There was another tie between Ire
land and Louvain University, the tie
of Irish learning. The Library of the
University contained 70,000 volumes
of priceless manuscripts, and a large
number of these were Irish.
LONDON. Oct. 0.—It is reported
that, owing to a scarcity of wheat,
bakers in Holland are making “Pal
atable, nourishing and cheap” bread
from a mixture of ground tulips and
wheaten flour. This is a novel de
parture, although in the seventeenth
century tulips were cooked and eaten
as vegetables. The natives of Siberia
today eat tulip bulbs, although they
striks the unacclstomed palate as
somewhat bitter and acrid.
LONDON, Oct. 10.—Special legis
lation called for on account of the war
has run up to a to till of forty Emer
gency Acts of Parliament passed since
hostilities began on August 4.

THE RUSH FUR
LEGISLATURE
THE GREATEST STAMPEDE
SINCE DAWSON NOW
TAKING PLACE
The greatest stanmpede since the
rush to Dawson is.now taking place.
At least one candidate for each hun
dred of the eligible citizens of the ter
ritory has now shown up in the race
for the local Legislature. Some time
ago a Nome paper published the
names of those who are candidates
from that district and was immediatly
called down for hiding another bunch.
Although the socialist candidates were
not taken into account the first batch
published in that paper numbered
eleven and the ones added by the pro
testing parties made another half a
dozen. So the chances are good that
when the hopeless ones cut their
names out there will be much more
than a score of candidates from that
division.
From the First division as well as
the other divisions there are demo
crats, independents, progressive
democrats, progressive independent,
independent progressive, democratic
progressives, Wickersham democrats,
Wilson progressives, Gilmore demo
crats—everything but straight out
republicans, and they sound like the
ingredients of Mrs. O’Hooligan’s
Christmas cake.
In the Tanana they have socialists,
democrat, independent and several
other tickets. One of the men running
has always been a republican but he
now calls himself a Bryan democrat.
In the First division they have a be
wildering array of parties, including
the ubiquitous independents, the
Wickershamite, the democrats, the so
cialists of two or three varieties and
the Cobbites.
There are so many candidates in
this division and of so many parties
that their kaleidoscopic qualities be
w’i'der.
It is noticeable that a great pro
portion of the men mentioned at
Nome as candidates are former em
ployees of the government and one
of the iren who were elected from
that pla.e last t»:ne has reversed the
orde/ by now entering the ranks of
the federal employed.
The election is now' less than a
month distant but it is possible that
new aspirants for legislature honors
will appear in the field. The percent
age to be elected is about the same
as that which strikes it rich in any
other cld kind of a stampede. In that
respect at least the election will be
truly Alaskan.

MOOSE LODGE GROWING
BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS
Have Decided To Take a Hall And
Will Have a Fine Read
ing Room
At the meeting of Seward Lodge
No. 1425 of the Loyal Order Moose
of the World last night it was de
cided to rent the Arctic Brotherhood
hall for the establishment of a read
ing room where the members of the
order and their friends can spend the
hours of leisure pleasantly during the
winter. The lodge is now growing
by leaps and bounds and will easily
be the largest order in this vicinity.
T. R. Needham intends to institute
a lodge at Knik and will be aided by
Dr. David who is also a member of
the order. A resolution expressing
regret at the departure of Mr. Need
ham was passed last evening.
MRS. HERNING LEAVES
Mrs. O. G. Herning left for the out
side on the Evans after having spent
twelve years uninterruptedly around
Knik and neighborhood. She was ac
companied by her son Stanley.
OPPORTUNITY FOR EXPORT OF
MINERAL FUELS
In its reserves of mineral fuels, the
United States holds an impregnable
position as it* wo rid. power in industry
and commerce. Our production of coal
overstops that of any other nation and
in fact, nearly equals the combined
output of Great Britain and Germany,
the nations that rank second and third
Inasmuch as the United States leads
the world not only in coal production
but also in low cost of coal mining,
and apparently possesses the greatest
reserves it follows, as was pointed out
by Campbell and Parker in 1908, that
foreign countries will obviously look
more and more to the United States
for their supplies of coal. The lower
cost of production in the United
States which is due largely to the fav
orable location of the coal beds and
the extensive use of mining machines
is offset in Great Britain by the
proximity of the coal mines to the
seaboard. The wages paid in the
United States are higher than in any
country of Europe. This country’s
pre-emminence in the production of
petroleum is even more conspicuous,
so that the opportunity for exporting
mineral fuels presents no immediate
problems for the domestic producer.
