Attractive Features Tonight—Special
Thanksgiving Matinee.
Grace Washburn and Edwin August,
two shining stars in the film firma
ment, are to be featured in Chas. K.
* Harris’ “When It Strikes Home,” at
the Empress theatre this Tuesday and
Wednesday, November 27 and 29. The
play eminates from the versatile Chas.
K. Harris, of “After the Ball” fame,
sweet memories of which still linger
in homes and libraries of music,
j “When It Strikes Home” presents
many touching ;scenes, few. of which
| fail to “strike home,” as it overflows
, with romance .adventure and pathos.
Following “When It Strikes Home,”
a Charlie Chaplin scream, entitled
“Work,” will be presented. This com
edy alone is worth the admission fee.
For Thanksgiving matinee, every
body’s favorite dainty magnetic, Mar
guerite Clark will appear in “The
Goose Girl,” a picturization of Harold
McGrath’s most famous romantic nov
el. This play surely will please and
interest the little ones as well as
“grown ups.”' It is generally known
that Marguerite Clark plays the part
of a little girl in most of her roles, and
it is said that in this character she ap
pears to excellent advantage in "The
Goose Girl.” A very funny comedy is
to be an added feature. Mark the
time when the matinee begins—2 if!).

LONDON, England, Saturday—A
destroyer fight took place on Thurs
day night in the English Channel as
the result of a German attempt to in
terrupt the cross-Channel transport
service and the loss occurred of the
first transport to be sunk in the chan
nel since the war began.
The admiralty issued the following
statement yesterday:
During last night the enemy at
tempted a raid with 10 destroyers on
our cross-Channel transport service.
The attempt failed.
One empty transport, the Queen,
was sunk. The whole of her crew
was saved.
Two of the enemy destroyers were
sunk and the rest were driven off.
H. M. torpedo boat destroyer' Flirt,
Lieut. Richard P. Kellett, R. N., is
missing and it is feared she may be
lost, but nine of ^the crew have been
saved.
H. M. torpedo boat destroyer Nu
bian, Commander Montague Bernard,
R. N., was disabled by a torpedo and
taken in tow, but owing to the un
favorable weather the tow parted and
she has grounded.
BERLIN, Germany, Saturday—The
following official report of the raid
in the English Channel was given out
last night:
Parts of our torpedo forces moved

According to the report, of Com-,
mander Michelsen, at least 11 outpost
steamers and two or three destroyers

or totally near hostile ports. Some
members of the crews who were saved
were captured. ’'1
Several other guarding vessels and
at least two destroyers were Heavily
damaged by torpedoes and artillery
fire. Also the English post steamer
Queen was sUnk -south of Folkstone,
the tvew having time to leave the
ship.

Our torpedo boats sal >v returned
to German water wiffiout*any loss.
ESKIMOS HAVE THEIR
• OWN PUBLICATION
(Nome Nugget)
The Eskimo, which is published by j
the bureau of education, edited by
Dyfcd EVans, and printed by the Nug
get, issues from the press today. The ;
present number is entirely readable
from beginning to end. A simply
worded, lucid article on the reindeer
situation addressed to Eskimos is the ,
principal contribution. It deals clear
ly with the ownership of deer by na
tives and whites and contains good
advice to the former as to their duties
in the matter. The editorial squibs
are exceptionally bright. In addition
to many items of interest and some
short verse by Mrs. Darling there are
two talks to Eskimos by experienced
reindeer natives on the subject of the
care of the herds and these are rich ,
because of the unusual English con- :
struction in which they are framed.
The advice to Eskimos throughout j
the little monthly paper is so sensible j
that no reasonable person can help '
endorsing it in every detail.

PANJUUIA WOULD
APPROVE CANAL
.PANAMA CITY, Panama—One
might suppose, on first thought, that
the idea of digging another canal
would not find much fayor in Pana
ma. But, as far as this correspond
tftit'J observation goes, the contrary is
the'rase.- A short editorial in one of
the, newspapers has approved the idea.
MahV', other sources of approval have
been found. Among canal employees
thpreare, naturally enough, many who
favor the early construction of the
Nicaragua canal, as it is in their line
of business; but that consideration
aside, there are a number of reasons
advanced in advocacy of it that are
worth considering, especially as the
whole subject of interoceanic canals,
their relations to commerce and to
military and naval problems, has been
a, cypstant theme of study here many
years.
The people of the Republic of Pan
i ama have one weighty reason for
wanting to see the Nicaraguan route
developed besides their own. In case
of a war, in the course of w'hich the
Panama canal should be damaged 01
closed by slides by force, the end of
the canal exposed to the major force
of an enemy would fare badly. The
original idea of the utility of the
canal as a naval adjunct was that it
would double the effectiveness of the
fleet. If this policy should now be ad
hered to, and reliance be put upon the
canal for protecting either side by
transmitting a sufficient number of
naval vessels to vanquish an enemy
appearing off Panama or Colon, the
possibility of slides, or the high vul
nerability of the lock-type of canal
here to the sort of warfare developed
in recent years, makes it apparent
that one of the terminals might easily
be besieged.
The land fortifications could keep
an enemy in Panama bay at a Ins
tance, but they could not prevent a
siege. But if an Atalantic fleet could
come to the rescue through Nicaragua
the chance pf an effective siege would
be greatly diminihsed.
The best informed Panamanians
also know that there are certain im
; portant purposes to be served by their
11 canal, in which Nicaragua would not
! J compete against it. The shortest
| route from New York or London to
western South America would still be
via Panama. Nitrates and copper from
!. Chile; and the tradeof Peru, Ecuador,
| and much of Colombia would still find
the present canal the more advantage
When the next great logical devel
. opment takes place, and railways link
up the heudwaters of the Amazon with j
the Pacific, the Panama route will 1
still be the nearest way to get from ;
the Atlantic ports of the United States 1
to the heart of Brazil. This great!
commerce of‘the future will eventu
ally grow to larger dimensions 'than i
the present capacity of the canal, -with ;
the locks working ^ay and night.
This is only ’ Ofie side of the ques
tion. The concensus of opinion here,
on the whole, seems to be that the
Nfcaragfaan' canal is desirable, while it
isjoften said the present financial con
dition of the United States, and the
existing international status,, indicates
that the actual work of putting it
through as soon as possible might
very well begin now.

, STOLE MONEY FROM
NATIVE WHO FED HIM
James Barry, a young man of Skag
way, appeared at the door of a native,
Edward Manson, of that place, and
asked that he cook him and a friend
some food. The native, seeing the
men were intoxicated, set about the
i task of preparing the meal. The na
tive left the house for some wood and
while he was gone Barry confiscated,
| purloined or otherwise ap$i;Oprtaf*d
: $25 chickamin, lawful currency* lofthe
I United States of America. The native
provided the visitors with a good
square meal and upon their departure
niissed his panga. He pursued the cul
tus Boston men and politely requested
the return of his money whereupon
Barry is alleged to have rudely dealt
the native a few blows in the head
with an axe, finishing the Job by ap
plying a corrugated iron bucket freely
to the parts remaining in good condi
tion. Barry was arrested and is now
in the federal jail at Juneau cogitat
ing upon the severity of the laws
which will not permit a white man to
rob poor Lo. The native will recover,
but he will take down his hotel sign
upon the resumption of h\s daily avo
cations.
