SEATTLE GERMAN CONSUL ARRESTED
SEATTLE, March 17.—William Muller, German con
sul at Seattle, and his secretary have been arrested and
charged with conspiracy to attempt to bribe the. em
ployees of the Seattle Construction and Dry Dock Comp- j
any in order to get information that the company was
building submarines which were being sent in sections
to British Columbia for shipment to Great Britain. The
action of the authorities has already caused a sensation
throughout the country and the German embassy at
Washington will probably make a strong protest. It is be
lieved in some quarters that the. authorities jumped too
hastily whether the consul is guilty or not as the arrest
might cause serious complications between this nation
and Germany.
LONDON SAYS NO ADVANCE
LONDON, March 17—It is admitted here that no ad
vance has been made by the bombarding fleets in the
Dardanelles within the past few days but the story of the
losses to the fleets published in Germany is contradicted.
Some of the vessels have been hit, it is conceded, but none
of the larger warships has been seriously injured enough
to disable them. The bombardment countinues but the
difficulties offered by the bringing up by the Turks of field
guns are not minimized by any means. There is still lull
confidence that the passage of the channel will be forced
even in spite of severe losses that might be inflicted on
the ships
BOTH SIDES FAIL IN ATTACK
LONDON. March 17.—The official bulletin this after
noon announces that the German attack east and south of
Ypres has failed completely. It also announced, however,
that the French advance on the city of Lille has been halt
ed. The fighting in the Champagne and Argonne districts
continues but it remains indecisive and neither side claims
an advantage.
TWO MORE BRITISHERS SUNK . !
LONDON. March 17.—It was announced today that
two British steamers in addition to those before reported
were sunk off the coast ot Ireland on March 14th. It is
also announced today that the Belgians are concentrat
ing to the north of Nieuport and will probably make an at
tack on the German right flank in that quarter.
AMSTERDAM. March 16.—“What
kind of books shall we semi to the
hospitals?” was the question dispatch
ed by a Berlin charitable orpaniza
tion to the head of one of the German
field hospital divisions.
The answer came back promptly:
**Whatever you send, don’t send war
literature. The wounded like best of
all a good love story. The young men
especially, are rather tired of hearing
about the war. It is better for them,
too, that they should have a rest from
that sort of thing.” j

FRENCH MAY STAY
WITH THEIR COLORS.
DUNKIRK, March 16.—In defense
of the old red trousers of the French
soldiers uniform, which the Govern
ment now proposes to replace with a
uniform of slate-gray, the French
troops assert that the red color, with
the blue of the coat, is far less con
spicuous against a background of
autumn forest and field than a gray or
khaki uniform. The red and blue soon
grow dull, and when spattered with
mud and ingrained with dust and
grease, form a sort of natural “heath
er mixture” which is said to be as pro
tective as anything else against ordin
ary French backgrounds in French
climate.
Khaki is only good after it has seen
some use. It was originally adopted
the French soldiers point out, for use
in a brilliant sunlight against yellow
and sand, for which it was eminently
suited.

To the

of Seward:
I i i
There is a steady and increasing
demand for property in Seward, and
for improved property in particular.
Customers are making inquiries of us
daily ,and the supply of cabins avail
able for rent is at present extremely
limited. Any kind of a cabin or build
ing in Seward is now* rentable. Eevery
steamer is bringing new arrivals to
Seward and it is necessary for them
all to have a place to live when they
arrive here.
We want to ask every property
holder in Seward to assist us in look
ing after the wants of the new comers
and to that end, ask that they furnish
us with a list of their property, that
they wish to rent and we will do all
that we can to lease or rent it for you.
It does not make any difference
whether it is a residence or business
property, we have numerous demands
for bith, and will be able to place
either for you in a short time.
It is up to the citizens of Seward to
look after the comfort of the new
comers and as an act of hospitality
alone it is up to you to list your prop
erty if you care to rent it.
We now have a few choice bargains
in real estate, and if you are in the
market for anything in that line, we
would be pleased to go over the list
with you, and possibly we may find
just what you want .
Strangers are cordially invited to
call at our office and make their
wants known.
