ITALIANS WATCH THE GREEKS
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 8. — Reports coining indirectly
from Rome indicate that the Italian government is rein
forcing its army in the right wing of the Allied lines on
the Greek front in preparation for an expected attack by
the Greek army on the allied rear. That Greece will soon
take a part is the general opinion now in European neu
tral countries.
SEE SUBMARINES EVERYWHERE
NEW YORK, Jan. 8. — Incoming British and other
skippers now seem to see German submarines everywhere
but most of the U boats seem to be nothing but imaginary.
There are also current stories of the sinking of British
merchantmen in the Atlantic and one story is that the
Germans are now drawing a submarine ring around the
British islands in one final effort to cut off British sup
lilies entirely. Most of this belief is supposed to be caus
ed bv the fear of such an eventuality and not by any real
%
truth._ _
LINE TO EGYPT
BORDER COMPLETED
By piercing a tunnel through the
Taurus Mountains, in Southern Asia
Minor, the Germans have conquered
the last natural obstacle on the rail
way route from Berlin to Baghdad.
Some months will pass before the
tunnel is lit to take traffic, but when
it is complete the journey from Ber
lin to Baghdad will be greatly short
ened. This is the last of the big tun
nels to be made on the line. That
through the Amanus range was com
pleted last year.
The total length of the Baghdad
railway in Asia Minor from Haidar
Pasha, opposite Constantinople, to
Baghdad, is 1,510 miles. The exact
mileage that has yet to be completed
between Uas-el-Ain, east of Alep
po, and Baghdad—is not known.
The enemy has been very active in
pressing on the construction of the
line, and it is probable that the gap
does not at present exceed 200 miles,
over country which can readily be
' traversed by motor vehicles.
The construction of this railway
and of its branches, the chief of
which runs south from Aleppo
through Damascus to Jerusalem and
the Egyptian frontier, with another
line passing east of the Dead Sea to
Mecca, has been an object of German
policy for the last twenty years.
“Germany," wrote Dr. Winterstetten,
u German authority, “has one aim an<J
aspiration—‘Berlin-Baghdad.’ " Dr.
Kohrbach has pointed out that it
threatens at once Egypt, and India
through the Persian Gulf.
The line towards Egypt has now
been carried some distance beyond
Beersheba, so that when the Taurus
tunnel is open for traffic it will be
possible for a German to go from
! Berlin to the desert of Sinai by one
continuous railway, interrupted only
by the crossing of the Bosphorus.
The military effect of the new tun
nel on this war will be to facilitate
the transference of troops and guns
from the European to the Asiatic or
Egyptian front, or vice versa, and to
render the supply of munitions to
enemy forces in Armenia, Mesopo-1
tamia, or Syria much easier. An at
tack in force on Egypt has always
been a German obsession. — London

ALL-ALASKA REVIEW
IS OFF THE PRESSES
The All-Alaska Review is off the
presses today and will be on sale in
the city news stands and in the office
tomorrow. It contains seventeen full
pages of type telling of all the oc
currences and developments in the
territory since the last issue. It also
carries a fine picture of a farm in
the Matanu.ska valley and other il
lustrations and reproduces the Gov
ernment Geological report of the min
eral output of the territory. In a re
cent pamphlet distributed by the Se
attle chamber of commerce, appar
ently, the Review is mentioned as
letters have come from faraway east
ern states saying so and asking for
copies of the Review. The addition
of new outside advertisements every
month now shows better than any
other circumstance the status which
the publication is gaining. This
spring great improvements will be
made in it to start ofT the open
season in fine shape.
