BRITISH RAISE ANOTHER MILLION
LONDON, Nov. 13.—That the seriousness of the war
is now being fully felt in this country is made apparent
by the fact that supplementary estimates have been in
troduced in parliament by the government to provide for
the raising of an additional million men. This will bring
the total army of Great Britain, exclusive of territorials,
to the enormous number of two million one hundred and
eighty seven thousand men. The territorials have the
option of remaining at home or going to the front but
many of them have volunteered to cross the channel and
meet the enemy. Out of the great army which is now
being prepared a large force will be kept in the British
Islands to prevent any attempt that might be made by
the Germans to transport an army of invasion across the
water. On the fleet the people still place the utmost con
fidence but the recently proved efficiency of submarines
against large ships of war has awakened England to the
great danger which might come from the destruction of
a large number of the British ships. The recent raids
by German submarines in the English Channel right up
to the English coast have been the chief source of anxiety.
The unexpected success of the German land forces at Dix
mude have intensified this anxiety to a very great degree.
NOTHING FROM RUSSIA
LONDON, Nov. 13.—'The silence from the theater of
war in the east does not tend to increase the optimism.
Practically nothing had been heard up to this morning
since the Russians were reported to have forced the Ger
mans to retreat to the bank of the Warthe river. It is fully
understood that further advance by the Russians will
hardly be wise as long as the Germans in East Prussia re
main intact to threaten their right and the Austrians re
main in Przemysl and other positions in Galicia to threat
en their left. It is, indeed, suspected that General Hinden
burg has retreated with some sinster object in view but
the Russian generals are not expected to be caught again
as they were at Allenstein.

DUKE’S SON KILLED
LONDON, Nov. 13.—Lord Bernard Gordon Lennox,'
has been killed in battle in Belgium.
Lennox was a major in the Grenadier Guards and has
fought with his regiment with distinction since the be
ginning of the war. Among the casualty lists in the Bri
tish army are now constantly seen the names of the most
famous houses in the empire and it is only too well known
that the slaughter has onty been begun.
TURKISH DISASTER CONFIRMED
LONDON, Nov. 13.—The Turkish official dispatches
confirm the story of the sinking of three Turkish torpedo
boats in the Black Sea by the Russian fleet. News from;
Constantinople is meager and the secrecy maintained is
evidently at the prompting of theGerman influence. No
information of any kind has been given out as to what is
happening on the Egyptian border, all through Asia Min
or and in the direction of Persia. Owing to the wild nature
of the frontiers the Turks are able to keep their move
ments very quite but that they are amassing large forces
in all the quarters named is regarded as certain.
BATTLESHIP OF
FORMER WAR TIMES
NEW YORK, Nov 5.—One hun
dred years ago today the world’s
first steam war vessel, the Deinologos,
afterwards re-christened the Fulton in
honor of its constructor, was launched
from a privately owned ship yard on
the New York bank of the East River.
Its construction had been inspired
from the war of 1812. Not much
longer than the modern excursion
boat, measuring in length 167 feet,
and built of wood, the vessel slipped
her moorings on June 1, 1815, and pro
ceeded into New’ York Bay under her
own steam upon her maiden voyage.
On the Fourth of July she again ven
tured to sea for a speed trial, jailing j
53 miles in eight and a half hours.
This pioneer vessel of modern navies
never received her baptism of fire,
peace having been declared before the
Demologos was ready for battle, out
she proved an instrument of des
truction when her boilers exploded
while she lay in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard on June 4, 1821), destroying the
vessel and killing 26 persons.

NEWS NOTES
In its summing up of the election
results in Alaska the Juneau Empire
attributes the election of Wickersham
to lack of funds, to the false alarms
about “machines” and “bosses”, and
to the re-action which always comes
in the support of a party for some j
time in power. It acknowledges, how-;
ever, that Wickersham keeps his hold
on the working people.
Rolle Weaver left this morning for
the K. A. G. In a recent issue of the
Petaluma Argus nearly two columns
are taken up with a story of the
• strike made by Major French and
Charles E. Herron on Sixmile. The
authority quoted is George T. Harlow
of the Alaska Gold Dredging and
Improvement company.

During his investigation he has
learned that the amount of coal the
government alone will require for the
navy from the Alaskan coal fields is
two hundred thousand tons of coal a
month. This, experts have shown him,
requires the employment of fifteen
thousand men. Kven right now un
der ordinary conditions a thousand
tons a day will be needed, without j
taking the navy into account, and a
thousand tons a day mean a popula
tion of at least twelve thousand at the
mines when all sorts of people arc
considered.
Captain Peabody will spend the
winter here or, at least, will make
this the base for travels in the neigh
borhood. He believes that Seward
should take determined steps to offset
the strong work done by other com
munities to the disadvantage of Sew
ard and that we should adopt well
organized methods. He is also strong
ly of the belief that great numbers
of wealthy people from all over the
United States are only waiting to be
told of the tremendous advantages
that might be secured here by the in
vestment of capital. Like all the rest
of us he has a thorough confidence in
the great future which is ahead for
this part of Alaska and after a suc
cessful career in Alaska for many
years he proves this confidence by
coming to be in on the grand awaken
ing. Indeed, after a prolonged stay
in Washington he 3cems to be more
confident even than we are that this
is the place and this is the time to
get ready for what is coming.
The name “Gamble’s” is a trade
mark and wherever seen is a guaran
