SMALL FIGHTS IN WEST
LONDON. Feb. 10.—Some minor engagements have
occurred in the western field in the past couple of days
but no change worth noticing have taken place and the
general situation remains the same. The small amount
of fighting that took place has been in the same old places
such as La Bassee, Soissons, ^ pres and a very little in
West Flanders. The days are lengthening out rapidly
but they are still cold. The increase of daylight and the
drier nature of the weather, however, portend the coming
of the time when the supreme effort will be once more
made by one side or the other. Next month is sure to see a
tremendous change in the conditions as that month in
France and Flanders is usually bright and springlike.
TO AVOID GERMAN SUBMARINES
STOCKHOLM, Feb. 10.—The shipowners of Sweden
have announced that they are about to have their ships
painted all over with the national colors of the nation so
that German submarines can see clearly what they ai e and
the danger of mistakes will be avoided. This precaution
is found to lx* necessary owing to the destructive cam
paign which Germany has started against the merchant
shipping of Great Britain and France. In most cases the
German submarine on sighting a merchant ship comes
on the surface boldly knowing that the merchantmen cai
rv no guns, but in some cases the submarines ha\ e got
in their deadly work in a manner that shows they are not
veryr particular.
HIDES UNDER U. S. FLAG
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—The British ship Orduna ar
rived in New York today and reported that it had flown
the United States flag until it had cleared the British isl
ands as it feared attack by a German submarine. 1 be
legality of this proceeding will probably be questioned by
those in favor of Germany in this country but the ques
tion will probably be a hard one to decide.
teach mutilated soldiers
PARIS. Feb. 10.—The French government has de
cided to establish a great school for the purpose of teach
ing trades to the soldiers who have been mutilated in the
war and are no longer able to make their living by soldier
ing or by unskilled labor. Each soldier will be taught a
trade best fitted to persons mutilated in the way in which
his wounds afflict him.
CARDIFF, Wales, Feb. 9.—When the new Welsh
army of 40,000 takes the field they will go to battle to the
sound of a Welsh male choir, which has been substituted
in its regiments for the customary brass bands.
The choral organization is known as the “Welsh

NEWS NOTES
If the government uses the timber
along the right of way for the build
ing of the Alaska railroad it must
pay the Forest Service for every stick.
This is the statement of a Washing
ton correspondent to a Seattle paper.
The Forest Service must even be ask
ed for permission to build a grade and
everything else. 1
A. Specker left this morning with
Alex Frazer’s dog team for the Blue
bell mine. They are taking out orej
on the property at present and have j
two feet of fine rock.
Next Sunday will be Valentine’s Day j
and many have been made aware of'
the fact already to their cost.
This is the day William Sauers pro- ^

cision has been practically' made|
whether Resurrection bay is specific-j
ally mentioned or not.
A new flag is being secured for the (
