RUSSIANS INVADE ARMENIA
TIFIJS, March 3.—The Russians are now invading
Armenia. From this news it is assumed that the Turks
have been unsuccessful in the recent fighting on the Rus
so- Turkish borders but such little information has been
given out that the truth can only be surmised. Severe
fighting is believed to be proceeding, however, in that
arena.
VAN HORN INDICTED
BOSTON. March 3.—Werner van Horn who attempt
ed to blow up the railroad bridge between the United
States and Canada has been indicted by the grand jury on
the charge of carrying dynamite. The indictment is
taken to mean that the request for his extradition by
Canada will not be granted but that he will be tried on this
side. The case is certain to create a big struggle between
the partisans of both sides in the United States. The Ger
man societies are already at work in the effort to defend
van Horn successfully.
AIRSHIPS BOMBARD WARSAW
WARSAW, March 3.—German airships bombarded
this city last night but no deaths were caused. Some prop
erty was injured but the effect of the attack on the whole
is practically nothing. So ineffective have airships been
proven as a means of inflicting material damage that the
Germans are probably trying for moral effect alone.
SORTIE FROM PRZEMYSL
PETROGRAD. March 3.—The Austrian army which
is now attempting to relieve Prezemysl has been engaged
by the Russian besieging army and has lost heavily. The
Austrian garrison of the fortress made a sortie to aid
their intending relievers but were repulsed. 1 he situation
of the Russians in East Galicia is most favorable in spite
of the Austrian reports that our army had been repulsed
there. A new Russian movement has been started near
the East Prussian borders but has not developed.
ITALY THREATENS AGAIN
ROME. March 3—Seven thousand reserve officers
have been summoned to report at the end of this month
and once more the opinion prevails that this nation is
about to enter the war against Germany. The taking of
Constantinople bv the allies would be almost sure to entice
this country into war in order that this government might
have claim to participation in the settlement of affairs in
the Balkans and on the south coast of the Medierranean.

NEWS NOTES
Mrs. Pierce and Master Eajl Pierce
of Seattle have come to make their
home here.
The largest family to come to Se
ward in recent times to settle is com
posed of Mr. and Mrs. Allenbaugh and
five fine children, two of whom arc
twins. They live near the episcopal
ian church.
The house of Joe Hoffman and Pal
mer Way took fire last night about
10:30 o’clock and the town was rous
ed while the new comers were treat
ed to a little scare. Mel Horner, chief
of the fire department, got to the
scene -o quickly that he put the blaze
out with a hand chemical. The cause
of the fire is not known. Mr. Way
had been in there at dinner time but
not when the fire occurred. He lost
his bed and bedding. Mr. Hoffman
says that Mr. Horner deserves great
credit for his fine work.
Profesor Musso who has invented
a means for telephoning over cab Vs j
may soon come to Seward according
to Father Shorpherd who went away ;
yesterday. The cause of the failure (
to telephone plainly between Seward j
and Valdez is due to the fact that the .
insulation on the cable between these j
two points is partly gone and for
telephoning perfect insulation on the
| cable is necessary.
A letter received from the British
islands yesterday shows that the Gate
way has had the questionable honor
of having been censored before it was
let pass to the addressee. The same
letter indicates that the censorship of
American papers going over there is
very strict.
As an indication of the manner in
which the population of Seward is in
creasing in recent days it may be
mentioned that the number of pupils
in the primary school here now is
thirty-two as against twenty-four at
the time the new school house was oc
cupied. This is the largest number
of pupils enrolled in the primary
grade in the history of Seward accord
ing to Curtis Morford of the school
board. The new children who make
up the twenty-five per cent increase
are late arrivals in the town.
A. Ames, chief clerk of the rail
way mail service, came last night on
the Mariposa and returned on her to
Valdez.
Schmesar is now preparing Vr the
summer mining work on M:lls creek.
Major A. E. Ransom of the North- ;
ern Light Insurance Company arrived
in Seward last evening on the Mari
posa.
Joe E. Johnson, county assessor and
business man of Wenatchee, arrived
on the Mariposa last evening. One
remark he makes is well worth quot
ing: “People in Alaska should not
inve t their money outside. This ter
ritory now presents better opportun
ities than any other for the invest
ment of capital.” Mr. Johnson also
declares that the railroad has adver
tised Ala-ha more than all the private
investments in the world could adver- j
tise it. _____ |
