LABOR AFTER NEW
RECORD SHIP BUILDING
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Chairman
Hurley of the Shipping Board states
that "Labor has started upon a cam
paign to beat the former launchings
which marked the Fourth of July
in the shipyards of tho nation."
Exclusive of the government war
ships which brought tho figures
over the century mark, there were)
ninety-five cargo carriers launched
on July 4 and it is this record
Hurley announces that the ship
yard workers have set themselves to
eclipse.
Over one hundred cargo carriers
are to be launched on Labor Day.
QUENTIN ROOSEVLT MAY
STILL BE ALIVE
NEW YORK,—A dispatch pub
lished from General Pershing Tues
day reports that Quentin Roosevelt,
eon of Colonel Roosevelt has been
reported missing after his plane was
seen to fall behind the enemy lines.
Hope has been revived by reason
of this cabled report that Quentin
may be alive although a prisoner,
If so, in the hands of the enemy.
Because of the plane falling be
hind the enemy lines, it has been
impossible to ascertain definitely
whether he was killed or not.
GREAT ELATION OVER
THE ALLIED OFENSIVE
LONDON,—The. offensive of the
French, Americans and also the
Australians the latter in the vicinity
of Villiers Brettoneaux is the cause
of great rejoicing in this city.
The complete reversal of fortune
following Germany’s most ambitious
efforts, so long prepared and so care
t'u.ly planned, will have a great
effect upon the morale of the Allied
troops with a correspondingly de
pressing effect upon the enemy.
PRISONERS ARE GREATLY
WEARY OF THE FIGHTING
PARIS,—Prisoners taken in the
Allied offensive show complete de
moralization. They are greatly
ocetfallen and show signs of war
weariness to an extraordinary degree
There was little eagerness to ]
make a hopeless resistance upon the
part of the enemy and many pris
oners expressed satisfaction at their
eapture. They admitted being “sick
of thie war.”

low. Abaut 2 00 men are employed
n the cannery putting up salmon.
The government dredge on the
\poon mouth had not begun to op
rate hut before the men came oyer
ire, they were looking for em
ployees for the dredge. Engineer
Carpenter who will have charge of
the operations reached St Michael on
the Victoria.
By all accounts mining up the
Yukon camps is at a standstill as
much by reason of the lack of
water as anything else.
Many have left for the r. w strike
in the Good News Bay district but
accounts reaching from tin re have:
not been recent and hcnco nothing
definite is known. Joe Jean who
operated on Wilow Creek was among
those who left for the nc-w camp.
Almost all the men coming over
