Du» to the release of numerous
divisions ou the Russian front aa>l
to the drafts from the 19IS and
1920 classes, tho problem of man
power temporarily lias been solved
for: Germany, and the Ions; expect
ed offensive on a large si-ale may be
exoected so>n. The strategists
with the armies of the entente al
lies have considered the [possibility
that the attack may be made at
m^re than one place, but anticipate
that the larger offensive will be
directed against the line guarding
the Belgian coast. That it will
txj accompanied by a demonstra
tion at sea, and will have for its
ultimate object an attack on Eng
land, also is considered likely.
Recently the Brtish war office has
displayed great energy in ascer
taining the strength of the Ger
min forces, and, while the
fai ts point to a predominance of
mart power on the western front,
i* is not great enough to insure vic
tory. Therefore the British wel
come a German attack on a large
scale, believing that it will more
costiv in German lives than was
Verdun.
It is a curious phase of the situa
ti« u on the Russian front that,
while it is no longer necessary to
no.d the line in for??, Germany
must maintain a strict guard on t-ie
wao!e length of the 1,200-mile line
to prevent Bolshevike ideas from
"ercolating into Germany. Already
lha contact between German' sol
d'ers and the soldiers of the Bol
shevik- government has be^n, harm
ful to the kaiser's cause. Irately
efforts have been redoubled to pre
vent the spread of the Bolsheviki
doctrines throughout the empire..
However, the thin line can be held
K'th second-class troops, while the
rghtia^ men are massed for attack
in tile west.
I* is estimated by the British. in
telligence department that Ger
many •will be able to transfer from
thirty to forty divisions, which "s
calculated to be a maximum of 640,
000 men. In the opinion of the
experts, the number will be nearer
500.000. Without taking -'nto ac
count the internal condition in Aus
tria-Hungary, it is considered pos
sinie that Emperor Charles will be
able to send 200,000 men to Alsaco"
'a the spring-, which •will give Von
Kladenburg a total of 700,000 ad
ditional men.
Ag to the point oC attack. Von
Hindeuburg will be able to choose
from among a dozen fronts. Ha
may concentrate in an attack on
England; he may continue the bat
tle in Flanders on a larger scale;
he m'iy attack the British in France,!
the Freuch, the Belgians or the
Americans: he may operat? thru j
Switzerland^ he may endeavor to
crush Italy, strike at Salonikl or |
try to Tecover the lost Turkish ter
r'tory in Mesopotamia and in Pales- |
tine. The prize foj; euccsesful op- j
orations against England is con- |
sldered po attractive that the strate
gists are convinced that the blow
w.'ll fall there. Germany regards
Gres>t Britain as the biggest ob
stacle to peace, and, nq matter
what successes Germany may have
elsewhere, there remain the British
fleet and the British army to b3
reckoned with. By concentrating
the submarine campaign, on British
and American shipping for the
n«»xt few weeks, and by attempt
'ng to break the allied blockade oX
German ports, it is believed that
Germany is prepared to put fate to
the 'est and to win or lose on a laat
supreme effort. That it Will fail
tho military experts believe is ab
solutely certain.—Seattle P..-T.

WHAT'S HK AIMING AT?
"What's Charley Sulzer aiming at
in his hill to set 'full territorial
form o' government?' queried the
short tL'an in the brown derby.
"Well, considering that it pro
vides 'or two delegates, one to be
elected frvru the FiTSt and Third
Divisions and the other from the
Second and Fourth, it looks to me
like he is aiming to avoid the dan
ger of ever having to tun against
Wick again." quoth, the tail man

A BLIZZARD FROM NORTH
Thursday night of last week, just
after wa had gone to press ,a bliz
zard sprang out of the north which
for fiva days kept the people of
the Southern end of the Territory
vithin i'oots. unless absolutely nec
essary for them to be abroad. Dur
ing the time the thermometer drop
oed from 15 above to 50 below. It
was • severest storm that has vis
'ted this section of the country for a
long tiire. The worst part of it, al
though not the coldest, was in the
arlier stages, when the air was
filled tvith flying snow by which the
trails ai d roads were so deeply drift
ed it fas since be'n hard for either
man . 7 beast to get around where
the snow is unpacked by travel.
Ha<t not the wind changed to the
south Tuesday and the weather
commenced to moderate a serious
situat on would have confronted the
community, for the wood dealers,
owing <i- the deep snow in the hills,
had been unable to do much haul
ing, and in consequence a fuel fa
mine <vas threatened, .which1 now,
very happily, promises tg pass us
by.
Tuesday morning's train for Skag
way h?d to return after getting
about inur miles out of town, on
pccourt of the track being giaciered.
The northbound frahi .however,
came in about 11 o'clock Tuesday
night..
Wednesday morning the south
txnind train again started out, but
ran into a big drift at the bend just
south of town .and while trying to
i buck i's way thru, a snowslide
[came down the steej bluff and bur
ied the whole train. The cars re
mained on the track, and the 15 or
20 passengers on board returned to
town in a White Pass stage that had
been s»'nt out for the purpose. —

COPPER RIVER LOCOMO
TIVES TO USE COAL
President Stephen Birch, of the
Copper River railway, has notified
Superintendent Caleb Corser that
the Standard Oil company cannot
promise oil deliveries as required,
and wi'l not guarantee to fulfil the
balance of their contract with the
railroad, which expires in a few
montns, neither will they likely be
in a jtsition to take any future or
ders, says the Cordova TImse.
Suterintendent Coiser has under
consideration the immediate conver
sion of their locomotives from oil to
coal. He has referred the matter to
thq Seattle office in order to ascer
tain whether the steamship company
will able to supply enough, bot
toms io transport a sufficient sup
ply of codl from the road in opera
tion jo that the company may con
itnue to make regular shipments of
copper, which, is so badly needed! by
the gcvernm.net lor war purposes.

CAPT. PAUL SMITH
Capt. Paul Smith has the distinction j
of being the oniy American to ever j
arrest a queen. On Jauuary 16, 1895, i
Captain Smith, then a sergeant in the i
army of the provisional government of
Hawaii under the direction of Presi
dent Sanford B. Dole, arrested Queen
Llllluokalanl, lately deceased, and held j
her prisoner In lolanl palace for eight l
months.
Tin In Hittory.
Who first found ttu? Tliere is a leg- |
end anions; the Cornish miners that |
St. Piran, an Irish hermit, was the dls- |
coverer. His ancient church In the
parish of I'errauzalmloe. in Cornwall,
laid bare of sand by the sea many
years ago, has recently been repaired.
Cornish miners still keep tile feast of
St i'iran, who, according to the fable,
first found tin, forgettfug that their
forefathers had long previously sold it
to the Phoenicians. Possibly the leg
end points to the fact that this Irish
man was a skilltul metallurgist.

Why It Succeeds
Because It's for One Thing Only.
And People Appreciate Tills.
Nothing can be good for every
thing. ; ! '
Dolns one thing well brings suc
cess.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for one i
thing only.
For weak or disordered kidneys.
Here is reliable evidence o£ their
worth.
Wra. A. Quayle .prop., electric
motor repair shop, 991 Harrison St..
San Francisco, Calif., says: "I wag
troubled with my kidneys for about
two months. The kidney secretions
were profuse and highly colored
and I had to get up four or five
times at night to pass them. I
worked in a lead mine a number of
yars ago and I think that was the
cause of my trouble. I became wor
ried and went to a drug store and
asked for the best kidney medicine.
Doan's Kidney Pills promptly re
moved the trouble with my kidneys
ind I have had no sign of it since."
OVER A YEAR LATER Mr.
Ijuayle said: "Never in my life
have I enjoyed such good hsaith as
t am now having. I give Doans'
Kidney Pills all the credit for they
rid me of kidney trouble."
Price 60c, at all dealers.. Don't
iimply ask for a kidney remedy—
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
:hat Mr. Quayle had. Foster-Mll

Catarrhal Deafness Cannct Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that Is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an In
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. Wuen this tube is
Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when It Is entirely
closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which Is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system
We will give One Ilundr^d Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Cir
