JAP CRUISER WRECKED
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 4.—The Japanese cruiser Asama
has been wrecked off the coast of Lower California. She
is now on the rocks and is breaking up fast. On board is
a crew of five hundred men who are believed to be in the
most serious danger. Three United States warships are
already speeding on their way to save the Japanese but
it is feared that their arrival will be too late. The cause
of the accident is a mystery at present but that it was
merely an ordinary sea accident is indicated by the news
received here.
KILL FIFTY MILLION PIGS
BERLIN, Feb. 4.—As another precaution against the
loss of food stuffs the German government has ordered
the killing of fifty million pigs. The meat will be canned
and kept for future use but the chief reason for the
slaughter of the animals is to save the grain on which they
were being fed. The amount of grain commandeered by
the government up to the present time amounts to three
million tons.
MEET WITH BAYONETS
AMSTERDAM, Feb. 4.—The Germans delivered a
fierce assault on the Belgian positions at Westende yester
day. They went right in with the bayonet but the Belgians
repulsed them after what was probably one of the most
severe fights of the war. Westende is between Nieuport
and Ostend on the coast. _

Word has been received that the

ing him that if he doesn’t pay that

In Popular Mechanics for this
month appears a story about the Cop
per River railroad which will probably
tickle the chamber of commerce of
Cordova to death. The story says
that when Copper river overflows it
leaves solid ice on the track and that
nothing but dynamite can clear the
right of way. It also says that forty
feet of snow cover the tracks at times
and that fuel must be carried to the
rotary with dog teams. Just imagine
a story like that at the very time Cor
dova is paying for a special represent
ative at Washington to prove that
railroads in all other parts of the
world are failures and frosts.
Miss Dehne has returned home after
a short visit in the city.

WOUNDED SOLDIERS
GET NEW FACES.
Surgery Can Now Put on a Nose
or Anything Elae.
HAVRE, Jan. 29.—The I rench
Army Medical Corps have set apart 3 j
eminent surgeons, Professors Tuf- j
flier, Morestin and Sebilean, to make
“aesthetic repairs” and remove de- j
formations from the faces of those
wounded in the war.
If a man loses his nose or any part
of his face or a disfigurement is caus
ed by a wound, the face will be re
paired by skin grafting, and the latest
discoveries in surgical science will be
used to remedy the deformity.
Several cases have already been
successfully undertaken by the three
surgeons. A young corporal who had
part of his face taken away by a shell
was given a now nose, left jaw, and
cheek. In cases where teeth have been
lost, it is said that successful efforts
have been made to transplant others,
according to a method discovered by
Russian dentist.

RIVALRY AS TO WHO
WAS SHOT UP MOST.
One German Soldier Got Eight Bui*
letn in Him Together.
Berlin, Jan. 29.—There is a friend
ly rivary among the wounded in the
Berlin hospitals for the distinction of
having been the worst shot up man in
the war. One who claims 26 wounds
holds the present record, but Horst j
Pfeiffer is envied for his remarkable
combination of peril and luck.
Near Dixmude he received an order
which he was to take on his bicycle
to the firing line. He had to pass, on
his wray, a road that w’as exposed to
a hot machine-gun fire from the
enemy. He was hit eight times and
dropped off into a ditch at the side of
fhc road, but succeeded nevertheless
in handing his message to another
soldier who carried it to its destinat
ion. One bullet had grazed his skull
another passed through the upper jaw,
one through the chin, one through the j
bone of the right arm, and one struck
his left wrist. Two other struck his
helmet and his shoes. His comrades j
finally succeeded in rescuing him from j
his dangerous position, and sent him .
to Berlin where he has been awarded
an iron cross.
