WASHINGTON, Feb. 19—In ac
ministration circles the opinion i
freely expressed that there is littl
danger of American ships being sun
in the war zone surrounding. Grei
Britain and France by German sul
marines, and the situation is not coi
sidered at all threatening.
The German request that America
ships paint their nationality conspic
ously on their sides cannot be ei
forced by the United States gover
ment, but the administration will as
the marine insurance companies if the
have taken measures, or are conten
plating such, for the identification c
neutral vessels on which they carr
risks.

I SNOWFALL AFFORDS
UNEMPLOYED II JOB
"It's an ill wind that blows nobody
good,” was exemplified in Cordova to
day when the heavy snowfall of yes
terday, while it made things unpleas
ant for a majority of Cordovan, was
- welcomed by a number of men to
s whom it furnished much needed em
e ployment.
k Bright and early this morning a
t. crew of twelve or fourteen men report
>- ed to Chairman Goodall, of the street
l- committee, and were put to work to
clear off the accumulated snow on the
n sidewalks in front of the various un
i- occupied properties about town. The
i- ordinance covering the removal of
t- snow snow from the sidewalks au
i thorizes the city to have it removed in
y the event of the failure of the owner
i- to so within a reasonable time, and to
f charge the cost against the lot owners,
y As a consequence a number of side
walks were cleaned today, which
otherwise might have been undis
turbed until the snow melted away,
r a fact that will be appreciated both
by pedestraians and the men em
s ployed in the work.

LETTER IN WRECK
FINALLY TURNS UP
(By Associated Press Correspondence)
LONDON, Feb. 8—A strange mis
colored envelope arrived a few days
ago at the home of Miss L. Budge,
(lower street, London. It was stamp
ed "Recovered by divers from the
wreck of the steamship Empress of
| Ireland,' and had come from the
i Dead Letter office at Ottawa.
Posted at New Glasgow, N. S., on
May 25 of last year, the letter had
gone down with the big vessel, the
wreck of which in the St Lawrence
cost more than a thousand lives, and
though under water for months, it
reached London In surprisingly good
condition. The mucilage which had
held down the flap of the envelope was
gone; the stamp was missing, and in
places the ink of the address had run
The letter Itself, however, was per
fectly legible.

Today's news in today’s Daily Times
--
Our former townsman, Robert Hun
ter, ia at present In Juneau, where he
will remain until after the legislature
meeta, and the Daily Dispatch has the
following to say nbout him: Hunter
states that 35 head of government
horses at Katchimak Lake and 45
head at Ship creek, under the charge
of Denton, ranged out all winter and
that they are in fine condition.
“While I was visiting In San Fran
cisco,” said Mr. Hunter, "I was im
pressed by the activity with which the
merchants there are going after the
Alaska trade. Pnlmer who has a store
at Knik, has already made arrange
ments for the sailing schooner (’. T.
Hill to take supplies to Ship creek this
summer, direct from San Francisco.
“While outside I learned that the
attempt to have Secretary I^ine to
route f. o. b. from Seattle all supplies
to be used by the government line
failed, and the agents acting for the
government will be asked to call for
bids in Seattle, Portland, Tacoma and
San Francisco.”
In answer to a question Mr. Hunter
said that owing to the 40 foot tides in
Cook Inlet it would not be an easy
task to lund goods, but lighters he
said can take on supplies half a mile
from Ship creek and then be taken Into
Ship creek on tides where they will be
left dry when the tide goes out.

CHINESE OFFICIALS DISCARD CART
FI
PEKING, Feb. Feb. 19—The motorcar Ims at last cmm* to
(’(‘king, taking the place with Chinese officials of the old Peking
cart. Only a few poorer Mancha families now ride in the cart;
without which no government official of the late regime dared
to be. Pieturesqueness has gone, for the modern motorcar
does not permit the retinue of robed outriders on little long
maned Mongol ponies. Only the president’s motorcar is now
escourted by mounted men, and they wear modern military
uniforms. Tin* escorts of other officials ride on the foot hoards
of the motorcars. < >n the occasion of the recent visit of a prom
incut general to Peking these escorts carried revolvers in their
hands.
