U BOAT LOSES ITS
A FRENCH PORT . Oct. 25.—
Hscaijing from a German subnta
rine after a hitter fight which last
id for four hours, and with seven
of its crew suffering front wounds
incurred in the battle, an American
liner arrived here today with a
full cargo of war supplies for
American troops at the front.
The timely intervention of an
American destroyer in reality saved
the liner and compelled the under
sea boat to relinquish its prey.
The submarine fired in all two
hundred and thirty shots and the
steamer two hundred in the smart
engagement that occurred between
the two.
One shell from the German
struck the engine room and almost
placed the boat out of commission,
it struck just above the machinery
and it was through this that so
many were wounded on board.
The destroyer hove in sight fir
ing at the U boat as it came up and
compelling the diver to get under
water out of harm's way from the
clever firing of the destroyer, sev
eral of whose shells fell short only
by a narrow margin when the U
boat dived for safety.

7* “
William A. Holzheimer, late of
Juneau arrived in Nome on the
Umatilla to assume his duties as
Judge of the Second Division of Al
aska. He is succeeding Judge John
R. Tucker who did not seek re-ap
pointment at the expiration of his
term of office.
The new official is in no haste to
make appointments to minor offices.
Prior to the adjournment of the le
eent special session of Congress, the
United States Senate confirmed the
appointment of William A. Holz

been nominated by President Wil

Tucker, Jr., who was not a candi
date and who leaves on the last fleet
for the outside.

ing attorney at Juneau, Alaska,
land had become a resident of the
Territory at the time of his appoint
ment as Assistant District Attorney
for the First Alaska Division at
Ketchikan, January 1st 1917, from
which office he resigned upon re
ceipt of official notification of his
new appointment. News of his con
firmation reached him at Juneau
just in time for him to proceed to
Seattle to embark on the Umatilla,
the last boat in for the season.
NOT PREPARED TO ANNOUNCE
APPOINTMENTS.
Naturally much active if not an
xious interest obtains in certain
circles as to who will receive ap
pointments to the various offices
under Judge Hoitzheirr.er, an anxiety
which he declines to relieve until
fully apprised of his new bearings,
and the situation may require sev
eral weeks in view of the great dis
tance from point to point in the Di
vision.
DECLARES IMPARTIAL.
ATTITUDE.
When interviewed upon arrival
of the Umatilla Judge Holzheimcr
expressed elation over the fact that
his administration throughout will
he free from political debts, declar
ing his wish to be governed by the
best interests of the Division and to
reflect credit upon the service by an
impartial course.
