BRITISH SURPRISED GERMANS
LONDON, Sept. 29.—A German officer who has been
captured on the Somme has made the statement that the
trouble with the Germans in that region is that they did

dashes on both Hanks and in front. The British are still
gaining on the entire front.
MORE GREEKS REVOLT

against the king in favor of war with the allied nations
. and the revolters have issued a proclamation calling up
* on the king to declare war as war is the only way in which

said to have impressed King Constantine deeply.
RUSSIAN ATTACKS FRUITLESS
VIENNA, Sept. 29.—It is officially announced today
that the Russian assaults on Ludova and Kirlibaba were
fruitless and the Russians have been repulsed at every

positions at Kailmakealan but they failed completely in
their purpose. It is reported that fresh Bulgarian forces
are now being sent south to prepare for the expected
entry of Greece and the reinforcement by Greek troops
of the allied forces in that region. Desperate hand to
hand fighting took place in yesterday’s attacks.
NEW YORK STRIKE
LOOKS BETTER
NEW YORK. Sept. 29.—Thirty-six
of the builders’ unions have refused to

surface cars are running without
police guards for the first time since
September 6. Last night the build
ers, machinists and teamsters were
I
ballotting whether to go on strike or
not. They total two hundred thousand
men. Some violence occurred yester

cars were stoned. Bohm says two
hundred thousand are out but the sec
retary to the police commissioner says
that if there is a real strike he cannot
find it.

ticket, arrived on the Alameda this

the lobby of the Overland hotel this

of the meeting. Delegate Wiekersham,
whom Jack Ronan ran against in 1908
for congress, was also present. All
the meetings were cordial and all of
them will put up a decent light with
out getting mad. “Are you making
money, Jack,” was the question put
by the delegate. Lordy, boys, do you
remember those old campaigns when
each looked like cutting the other’s
jugular?
CROOK LEAVES WITH
MATANTSKA MINERS
SEATTLE, Sept. 29. — The Crook

Francisco last month and the Lucy
has now left that city with 850 tons
aboard for Mr. Palmer, which is the
largest ever sent in any one ship
ment to Knik direct. Mr. Palmer ex
| pressed the greatest surprise at the (
improvements made in Seward since |
his last visit and he was particularly i
surprised at the new cement side
walks, the concrete Van Gilder build
ing and others. He thinks Seward
has the finest prospects of any city in
Alaska.
Congressman here j
Over fish Question
Albert Johnson Naturally Believes in
Republican Success,
Hon. Albert Johnson, representative
in Congress from the southwestern
Washington district, was in So wail
today during the time the Alameda
was in port. Mr. Jonnson is going to
Anchorage and will return to Seattle
on the lAameda. This is his first
visit to Alaska, and he had intended
going no further than Juneau, but was
persuaded by Judge Wickersham to
make a longer trip. Major Hatton,
editor of Mr. Johnson’s newspaper,
the Hoquiam Washingtonian, accom
panied the Congressman as far as Ju
neau. The main object of their trip
was to study at first hand the halibut
fishing controversy, which, says Mr.
Johnson, will be a live issue during
the winter session of Congress.
Congressman Johnson is ranking
republican member of the House com
mittee on Territories, and has had
quite a bit to do with Alaska legisla*
tion. Should the next House of Rep
resentatives be Republican, and Mr.
Johnson predicts that it will be by 60
or 75, he will have the refusal of the
chairmanship of that committee.
Congressman Johnson thinks that
Judge Wlckersham should be return
ed as delegate from Alaska.
“I am firmly of the opinion that
Hughes and Fairbanks will be elect
ed,” said Congressman Johnson today.
“I think the republicans will carry
New York, Illinois, Indiana and even
Missouri. There is a disinclination to
criticize President Wilson, but a strong
desire for a change of administration,
in the hope that a protective tariff
may be restored, and some prepara
tion made for conditions which must
arise at the conclusion of the Hu ro
pe an war. Just now the east is en
joying a war prosperity and living in
a ‘Fool’s Paradise,’ which must come
to an end before long.
Congressman Johnson was recently
renominated in the republican pri
maries by a majority of 15,000 over
the mayor of Tacoma, and will be
gin a campaign of his district about
October 12.
KLEINSCHMIDT TAKES
PICTURES OF THE WAR
SEATTLE, Sept. 20. — Captain
Frank Kleinschmidt, Alaskan hunter
and photographer, has returned after
photographing the war fronts. He
showed Alaska pictures to Archduke
Ferdinand and his staff and they were
greatly interested. While at the front
at Debize, Russia, Kleinschmidt was
wounded in the thigh last November.
He is now greeting old Alaskan
friends.
WHITE SLAVE LAW MAKES
MONEY FOR BLACKMAILERS
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—An anony
mous informant has writeen Assistant
District Attorney Knox that black
mailing is worked regularly by gangs
of women on the interstate railroads.
An Orgeon railway porter also de
clares that a badger gang is doing
a regular blackmailing stunt on the
western roads and he shows where one
Iowa merchant was mulcted in $10,000
because he feared exposure before his
daughter’s marriage. The plan is for
women to entice the men on the trains
and then threaten to have them ar
rested under the Mann act.
FARRAGUT COMING
The Admiral Farragut left Juneau
at 10 o’clock yesterday morning.

—
Hon. James Wickersham, delegate
to congress from Alaska, arrived on I
the Alameda this morning and is on
the way to Anchorage where he will
look over the railroad and also carry
on a campaign for his re-election. He
will go to Kodiak and quite a way into
the interior towards the coal fields,
after which he will come to Seward,
make a speech here and also go out
the railroad to make a study of the
railroad conditions with a view, he
says, to learning everything in pre
paration for the campaign at the next
session to secure more money for tlu
furtherance of the construction work.
He has apparently not yet decided
whether to go to Fairbanks and other
interior places yet and will probably
not decide until he comes back to
Seward.
SLLZKR LATER

Charles Sulzer, Democratic candidate
for congress, that he will not arrive

battle as the bloodiest of the revolution, a large force of
bandits having taken part, one hundred of whom were
killed and a larger number wounded. General Kamos
who commanded the Carranza army has wired to Chi
huahua for a hospital train, presumably to bring his
wounded where they can receive proper attention. The
Y illista general, Uribe* who once captured Juarez reports
