OPPOSITE HARMONY THEATRE.
AMSTERDAM, March 2.—Colonel
Verschoot, a retired officer of the
Dutch army who returned today from
an extended tour of Europe, gave ex
pression to the opinion that if the
present plans of the belligerent na
tions are carried out at least a mil
lion men must die this year and many
more millions be maimed. He de
clared he was not betraying the con
fidence reposed in mim during his
visit to different Countries now at
war in opposition to each other if he
states that both sides are now pre
paring for the most gigantic offensive
of this or any other war in history.
The German army is in greater num
bers and strength, he says, than at
any time since August, 1914. and the
other powers of the central alliance
have recruited their forces and
equipped them to the full. He says
the same is true of France and Russia
and he looks for the opening thunder
of the tremendous crash within a
very few weeks when the climatic
conditions permit. He further be
lieves that during the winter lull new
instruments of death have been de
vised that will astonish mankind. The
colonel ridicules the story of the in
tended invasious of Holland by Ger
many, but he says Germany seems to
fear that Holland may be made an
other Greece by the opposing powers.
Hence the increase of the German ar
my near the Dutch frontier. Russia,
i according to this authority, has se
cured an enormous supply of muni
1 tions and supplies from Japan, and
I even Chinese factories have been con
verted into munitions factories with
the aid of Japanese and Russian
workmen. Verschoot thinks it possi
| ble the titanic combat will begin next
month.

AROUND TOWN
She has came.
Some celebration.
The taxis got theirs.
Such a noise; such a hubbub.
The Anne \V. slipped another cog.
Combination salad for Sunday din
I ner.
Altogether too much floating equip
| ment.
The Swan and Wilhelmina saved
■ the day.
Two eggs, 50c; even the hens have
, raised their voices.
The launch Swan made the round
I trip to Knik yesterday.
Too many tugs spoil the working
' capacity and are dangerous.
87—get the number—came in over
the trail from Seward yesterday.
The Admiral Evans sailed west
I from Juneau at 5 o’clock yesterday
morning.
A double-header basketball game at
the Labor Temple tomorrow after
noon.
' The members of the Chamber of
Commerce simply fell over themselves
in welcoming the stranger.
The Times advised the Associated
Cress of the new wage schedule and
the arrival of the S. S. Alameda; the
account of the celebration was cen
sored.
S. S. Alameda arrived at 8 and pas
sengers embarked at 8:150. It was de
cided to do away with the railroad
ride; the passengers had ridden
enough.
Dave Barnes, prominently connected
with the Willow creek mining opera
; tions, returned to Anchorage on the
Alameda. Mr. Barnes will be in the
city several days before assuming his
duties with the Martin mines,
i Alvah Eames, chief clerk of the rail
way mail service, made a flying round
trip to Anchorage on the Alameda, Mr.
; Eames, with headquarters at Cordova,
| says that his business in Anchorage is
purely business and had no particular
tearing on the local situation.
It is one of life’s pleasures to be
able to welcome the return of a friend;
; a friend not only personally but a
friend to the community in which he
lives, regardless of politics or creed.
, A. A. Shonbeck returned after a short
business visit to the outside on the
1 first steamer.
The law came and the law went
uij
away. U. S. Marshal F. U. Brenne
man arrived on the Alameda and is
| registered at the Crescent. Clarence
Mossman engaged passage for Cor
dova where he will appear in the Kan
itz arson case and eagle-eyed Frank
Hoffman, of Matanuska, will patrol
the beat during Mossman’s absence.
Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Brown return
er! to their future home on the steam
j er Alameda from Seward. Due to the
, pressing volume of business in Anchor
age Mr. Brown was unable to make his
contemplated trip to the outside and
says that he is “glad that fate decid
ed otherwise as he wants to be in the
center of activity, and like activity it
commences with a capita! A and ends
with the letter E and you may supply
| the rest.” Even a Sewardite would
know that he means Anchorage.
Anchorage scores again, and in this
there seems to be no fear of mighty
; Seward blocking the game. At least
I A. H. Miller seems to know what he
wants to do and moreover is going to
do it. Mr. Miller is superintendent of
the bureau of education and has super
vision over the southwest district. He
i advised a representative of The Times
this morning that he would move his
headquarters, at present located at
| Copper Center, to Anchorage, the me
1 tropolis. This will consist of a corps
of 15 teachers, four physicians, neces
sary nurses and will mean the estab
lishment of schools and hospitals for
the natives. The change will be made
i at the end of the fiscal year June 30th,
! and Anchorage will reap the reward.
The Times said that DeLong would
deliver and he did. Mr. DeLong ad
vises that the entire cargo of the Ala
meda, consisting of 560 tons, would be
discharged by the time the “hand of
time pointed to the hour of 12 m. to
morrow.” A man makes his opportuni
ties and Walter PeLong made his. In
the absence of the Anne W. he did the j
best he could and called on the reserve
that responded nobly. Much of the
perishables were taken off this after
noon and the epicure will not suffer;
the whole will be off by this time to
morrow and the pessimist will have to
take a back seat or move to Seward.
The passenger list from the way
! ports was not available at the time of
! going to press.
1 Brice Howard, formerly connected
1 with the Miners’ store at Seward, ar
rived on the S. S. Alameda to accept
a clerical position with the Bank of
Anchorage.
John Greer returned yesterday from
a two months’ trip to New York and is
registered at the Crescent. Mr. Greer
will leave the first of the week for
the Iditarod where he has placer
i holdings.
What an extreme pleasure it is to sit |
in either the Empress or Harmony and j
some one in the seat behind you whig- j
tie an out of tune accompaniment to
the piano player. Bad enough in tune
and especially aggravating when nurs
ing a cold in the head. The whistling
whistler and humming hummer should
hire a hall; the management doesn't
pay them anything and sometimes
there is actual relief in deafness.
Equally as pleasant it is to have to
continually listen to the sweet, soft,
well modulated voice of the town crier j
as he or she reads the scenerio. Per-;
haps they do it out of goodness of:
their hearts but in this advanced .age j
most every one is able to read for:
! themselves.
In an appropriate manner the local j
| Igloo, No. 15, celebrated Alaska’s 50th i
! birthday and showed their apprecia
tion of Seward’s foresight and busi
ness acumen. About 200 of the old
!
timers were present at Robarts’ hall \
last night and paid strict attention to
Judge Waller’s address on the sub
ject of development in which they all
i have played such an important part.
It was an interesting program
i throughout, interspersed by refresh
i ments and dancing. True to the cause
i and in recognition of her unfailing ef
i forts, the woman’s auxiliary was re
juvinated. Thirty members joined
, last night and hereafter the auxiliary
| will be a distinct part of the organiz
ation.
