WAR WILL IE R1GING ~
Win HOB WEEK
London, Jan. 15 ? Owing to the 1
Inability of the delegates to the
peace conference to arrange terms
with the allies and Turkey, It is
now very probable that war. in the
Balkans will begin within the next
few days. The allies are prepared
for the resumption of hostilities and
are anxious to open the contest
with the Turk*.
The Balkan allies demanded that
Turkey cede all that territory which
had been conquered by their troops
to a line east of Rodosto, on the
Aegean sea, to a point approximately
near Midla, on the Black sea, in- j
eluding the surrender of Adrtanople,
now besieged by the allies. This
would limit Turkey In Europe to a
narrow peninsula Just outside Con
stantinople. The allies further de
manded the cession of the islands In
the Aegean sea and the surrender
of Janina and Scutari, Adrlanople.
which the Ottomans call the "Pearl
of the Orient," Is the ancient capl- 1
tal, and the Turks refused to sur- 1
render It, determined to carry on
the war rather than yield. They al- i
so decline to give up the isles In
the Aegean sea, particularly those
three that command the entrance to
the Dardenetles. Thus the delegates
find themselves In an Irreconcilable
controversy, and a further resort to
arms Is probable.

LOSE PARENTS
Brooklyn, Jan. 15 ? The most as
tounding conditions resulting from
the frequency of divorce In the
I'nited States was made public to
day. when the government depart
ment of statistics announced that
over seventy thousand children
were yearly robbed of their par
ents by the increasing practice of
granting divorce*.
The report says that the separa
tion of families is most frequent In
the Pacific Coast states.
The publication of the report has
caused wide comment, and is In
spiring legislators to take up the
matter in their various States with
a view of making the granting of
divorces less easy. With dozens of
State legislatures In session, an ef
fort will be made by the churches
and civic societies to have more
stringent laws passed this winter.

RICH MILL OWNER
may escape trial
Boston, Jan. 14 ? There is a pos- 1
sibllity that William Wood, presi
dent of the woolen trust will not
be brought to trial. Wood has I
been under Indictment for conspir
acy In placing dynamite In the
domes of the textile strikers at
Lawrence for the purpose of creat
ing sentiment against them. One of |
the employees of Wood, named
Dreen was under suspicion of hav
ing placed the dynamite in various
parts of the city, and he recently
committed suicide. He would have
been a splendid witness in the
f prosecution of Wood. Owing to the
prominent position of Wood and
his ability to secure legal talent
| that will dig up technicalities, it Is
believed that he v will never be
brought to trial.
The Socialist vote of the nation
at the last election was 909,000.

past this canyon has carried boats to destruction ind men to death. The potentiality of the rnshlng water

NEW OO-TON BOAT
l-Xm WEST COAST Kl*X
Wrangell, Jan. 15 ? Plans have
been completed by the Bath Con
struction company of Bath, Maine,
for a ninety-ton freight and passen
ger boat to be built In Seattle for
\V. J. Netll, who will place it on
the run between this port, Ketchi
kan, Suiter, Craig and other towns
on the west coast of I'rlnce of
Wales Island.
The boat, to be built will be
equipped with a 120 horsepower;
gasoline motor. Her passenger ac
commodations will be for 24 first
class and 20 second class and her
freight holds of 65 to 75 tons capa
city.
It Is the Intention of the promot
ers to have the boat connect with
Ketchikan each week, utlliiing the
time which the Uncle Dan now lays
over In Sulxer, for the further trip
The call In Ketchikan and bettet
passenger accommodations will b-'
favorably ncelved by commercial
men and the traveling public.
As soon as the new ship is plac
ed on the run, the Uncle Dan, which
is fast getting too small for the
needs of the route, will be for
sale or charter and the steady little
boat will probably find a useful
berth In the water traffic of this
section.
Among the navigators of the lo
cal waters, Capt. R. L. Cole, of
Klawock, who for the past season
has been In the Klawock cannery
fleet as captain of the J. H. Sisson.

LIBERTY ON BAIL
IndianapollH, Jan. 14 ? The Inter
national Iron Workers Union, with
the aid of friends of tbe condemn
I ed men, has succeeded in raising
ball to secure the release of Olaf
A. Tveltmore and William E. Red
din under bonds of $60,000 and
$20,000 respectively. To secure the
release of the thirty-three men
would require a bail of $1,1000.
Whether the amount can be raised
is admitted by the council of the
j convicted men to be rather doubt
' ful. Herbert S. Hocking, designat
ed among "his fellow workmen as
"the squealing one" will not appeal.
No one Is taking any particular In
terest In securing his liberty, not
even the government which employ
| ed him to act aa traitor.
