Owing to the collapse of the big oil
tank at Treadwell due to the cave-in
of the mine, the waters of Gastineau
channel were covered frith a thick
film of fuel oil, and the danger of
fire became so great that a warning
wes sent out for boatmen to use ev
ery precaution against igniting the
fluid.
Officials of the Treadwell company
claim to have ample proof that Alex
Tassel 1, who was reported to have
drowned when the mines were flood
ed recently, is alive and have half a
dozen witnesses ready to swear that
he was seen coming up in the cage,
and was later seen on the surface.
They assert he is hiding out that his
wife may collect the compensation
that would accrue to her if he was

fident that he was drowned and assert
that his reputation was of the best
and that he would not attempt such
a desperate chance to make money.
ft is reported that the Border-Line
Transportation company, operating
the Al-Ki and Dispatch, will be sold
out to V\. S. Dawson, of Seattle, one
of the best known transportation men
of the Pacific coast.
N. D. Chetham of the Chetham
Lumber company of New York, was
an arrival at Wrangell recently, his
visits being (or the purpose of person
ally selecting and purchasing clear
Alaska spruce timber for the con
struction of aeroplanes, his company
having a contract to deliver a large
quantity of this material to the al
lies. He placed a large order with
the Wilson & Sylvester Mill company
as large as they would accept.
The hearing of the trickling of a
stream of water by a watchman at
Treadwell was all that saved the re
cent cavein at the Treadwell mines
from becoming a tragedy entailing the
loss of hundreds of lives. The man
on watch heard the water running
underground and thinking it a brok
en water pipe called a pipe-repairman.
The latter knowing there were no
pipes there and suspecting the cause
gave a general alarm which enabled
all the men to leave the mines.
BURROS MAY FEED
US DURING''WAR
TUSCON, Ari., May 5.—Little, long
eared burros may be forced to give
up their lives to feed the Ameri
can people in war time. Dr. A. E.
Vinson of the University of Ari
zona, has advanced a theory to the
Arizona Conservation commission that
the hundreds of burros which roam
valleys of the southwest could be
made into sausage said to be used in
Germany and Italy as a war food.
It is claimed that the advent of
the motor trucks and railroads has
deprived the burro of his occupation
of hauling ore from the mines to
the railroads and that these little
creatures feed on lands which might
! better be used for cattle and sheep.
These burros can be purchased for $2
a head, it is claimed, and the hide will
bring 50 cents, reducing the net cost
of the burro to $1.50. In addition to
the meat which can be used for sau
sage, the bones may be ground and
fed tc the chickens as can the meat
which cannot be used.
The North Pole Bakeryr is owned by
a sourdough who knows how to use it.

CITY EXPRESS OFFICE, 4th Near C. Phone 61R
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Following
the statement of Attorney General
Gregory, that comparatively few for
eign born citizens of the United States
have been arrested by the department
of justice, attention has been directed
to the various propaganda being con
ducted ostensibly for the purpose of
either embarrassing the government
in its war policy or in preventing full
unification of the country in the pres
ent crisis.
The Christian Science Monitor is
able to say that these efforts, whether
directed under the cloak of peace or
ganizations of societies with names
intended to impress the public, have
no effect whatever on the adminstra
tion. The government has full infor
mation that Germany’s chief propa
gandist enterprise now is to create
the impression throughout the world
that Russia is on the point of a new
revolution and that the army is disin
tegrating.
The purpose, as government offic
ials understand it, is to seek a sepa
rate peace with Russia and to that
end. if the provisional government can
be undone this enterprise will be
helped. Strategically, it is pointed
out, if peace could be brought about
on the eastern front the German forc
es now engaged there would be releas
ed for service in the west. It has ap
peared to officials recently that Ger
many, at the moment, is much more
concerned over the east than the west,
and is bending the chief efforts in the
way of propagandist preparation to
Russia and the southeast.
The friends of Germany in the
United States, therefore, as active
agents of Rerlin, are trying to pre
vent the recognition by the United
States of the Venizelos government of
Greece. As mentioned in the Chris
tian Science Monitor of last Saturday,
the state department has been receiv
ing a large number of telegrams on
this subject, all identical in language
and for the most part from New En
gland towns, protesting against the
recognition of the democracy of
Greece. The telegrams all read as^fol
lows:
“Hon. Robert Lansing, Secretary of
State: In the name of five thousand
Greeks, mostly American citzens,
whereof over hundred thousand are
veterans of the Balkans war and ready
to serve their country under King
President Wilson as they were ready
to serve their country nuder King
Constantine, we protest against the
persistent propaganda defaming the
king of the Hellenes as an autocrat.
“We know true democracy in Greece
is only possible under a constitutiional
king and that the attempted revolu
tion headed by Venizelos utterly failed
and today is maintained solely for for
1 eign bayonets against the will of the
Hellenic people. If the so-called pro
visional government is recognized, dic
tatorship, not democracy, will result
for Greece and the country of our
birth will be impoverished so that pol
iticians who are seeking power to ex
■ f>1 oit a helples.- people may profit.
“Indorsing heartily President Wil
son’s declaration that America fights
for the liberties of small nations, wo
hold Greece has the same right to re
main neutral as Holland or Denmark,
and we respectfully beg the presi
dent's intervention, that the pressure
of starvation, whereunder our families
I have so long suffered to force them
to leave neutrality and to accept a dic
tator as head of the Greek state, shall
cease forthwith.
(Signed) “LOYALIST LEAGUE.”
Diligent inquiry has failed to locate
any such organization as the “Loyal
ist League.” Furthermore, the iden
tical language used in all the tele
grams has convinced the government
that the messages were sent by Ger
man agents seeking to defend the in
terests of Constantine, or at least to
becloud the situation with respect to
recognition of Venizelos.

* UlVA 1UVA011A CllAAvL A AAA AAV citizen. At the outset of the present war there
were 367 savings accounts to every 1,000 of population in Germany, 379 out of 1,000 in France, 342 out of 1,000 in the United Kingdom, but only 218
out of 1,000 in the United States. In other words, there were nearly twice as many savers, in a given number, among the people of these European
powers, as there were in the United States! No wonder they have been able to astonish the United States by the way they have financed the more
than forty billion dollars already invested in the war. THEY WERE BETTER SAVERS THAN WE. We can well learn from their example and
add more generally the splendid quality of thrift to our own undoubted spirit of patriotism. It is the privilege of this bank through its
facilities to be of practical assistance to all who are practicing thrift.
