TO AID COTTON GROWERS
WASHINGTON, August 18.—It is reported that the
allied nations are planning to protect the cotton growers
of the southern states from the consequences of declaring
cotton contraband of war. This protection will be given
to avoid creating a hostile feeling in the United States.
It has now been decided to arbitrate the claims of the
United States resulting from the sinking of the Frye by
a German warship. The agreement of the German gov
ernment to submit the question to arbitration is expected
to strengthen the hands of this country in its demands on
Great Britain relating to the detention of Amei ican ships
and cargoes.
CROWN PRINCE SEES VICTORY
GENEVA. August 18.—The crown prince of Ger
many has issued a statement that it he can take Veidun
the war will end in the victory of Germany in December at
the latest. The capture of the great fortress is now the
prince's chief object and it is said that he is iecei\ing
large reinforcements, the trench defenders aie making
a magnificent stand to prevent the total investment of the
place.
ZEPPELINS NEAR LONDON
LONDON, August 18.—It became known this after
noon that the latest Zeppelin raid on England reached the
outskirts of London. The reason why this city itself was
not attacked is not clear but it is believed to have been the
chief objective. Dutch troops tired on one of the raiding
Zeppelins while it was crossing over Holland as such ac
tion was regarded as a violation of Dutch neutrality.
DESTROY GERMAN GUNS
PARIS. August IS.—The French have destroyed two
German howitzers by a bombardment near the Argonne.
()ur batteries have also exploded a munitions depot at
Lingekof. Slight advances are reported by our troops in
two or three parts of the front but nothing important has
occurred.
AUSTRIANS ADVANCE
VIENNA. August IS.—The Austrians have now ad
vanced to Dobrvnka which is only thirteen miles south
west of Brest-Litovsk. The Russians are retiring gradu
ally on the last named place but are fighting as they fall
back. The attack on the Brest-Litovsk line will be opera
tions of great importance as the Russians are well forti
fied there and ought to be able to make a prolonged stano
unless the advance of the Germans from the north makes
the place untenable from a strategic point of view.
BALKANS GET ACTIVE
ROME. August 18.—Intense military activity is re
ported from Bulgaria, Roumania and Greece and the
cause is supposed to be the preparation on the part of
those countries to enter the conflict against the Teutonic
allies. __ 1

C. E. Bade returned last night
from a trip he made out the bay in
search of the lost scow, and reports
that not one board of the craft was
seen. He fears that it become too
heavily loaded with sand and gravel
which was washed aboard by the
heavy waves anil that it has sunk.
However, the search has not been
given up.
A small scow of about one-fourth
the capacity of the large one is now
being employed in the transportation
of sand and gravel from Fourth of
July creek. The first load will ar
rive some time this afternoon and
work on the sidewalks w ill commence
immediately. He says that it will
take two scow loads a day to keep the
men busy and at that rate the walks
should be finished in about 0 days.

When once the streets are graded,
And this town takes on the air
Of a camp that has grown permanent,
Of a city that is “there;”
When the trail is clear to Kenai Lake
Then we’ll charter Ashland’s car,
And you’ll have a picnic as the guests
Of the Famous Palace Bar.
