ENGLISH DUELER
CAUSES LOSS
TRENCHES
BERLIN, Jan. 4—(Correspondenct
of the Associated Press)—An Englist
bugler s mistake, due to the fact that
his knowledge of the German armj
bugle calls was not quite perfect, frus
trated a clever strategem of the en
emy In Flanders, according to n report
of a German returned from the front
on furlough. At one point along the
line the artillery had been preparing
the ground for an assault, and the
order was finally given to advance.
The Germans Were charging suc
cessfully, losing not too heavily and
being well supported, when they were
amazed to hear the bugle call "cease
firing.” They threw themselves
down, reviling nnd lamenting the fact
that, at such a favorable moment, It
had been felt necessary to stop the
advance. In their position the next
call could hardly be anything but the
“retreat,” and they lay listening for
It. To their amazement, however, an
amazement instantly succeeded by full
realization of what had happened,
the “mess call,” the signal for
rations, was blown. The English
bugler, who, safely esconced In some
deceptive place, had stopped the
charge with his first call, had made a
costly mistake.
The charge was resumed, and when
it ended the Germans had taken the
trenches at which they had been aim
ing.

I SEPARATE WHEAT
' CHAFF
Bditor Cordova Daily Times: —
The no-license movement in Mc
Carthy, headed by two well-meaning
but misguided youths who have not
been very long in the country, has
been the cause of much diBcussion
here, and It is not unlikely that there
will he a similar movement here.
To me the no-license movement
seems cowardly. It seems as if the
people despaired of regulating Uie
worst saloons, and so would close the
well conducted places with the bad.
I hold no brief for the saloon keeper,
hut do not think the man who con
ducts his business honestly Bhould be
punished for the sins of the man who
does not.
A saloon can be regulated easier
than a Sunday school class. If the of
ficers and public will only do their
plain duty.
We hear of men being robbed in
McCarthy; we hear of men being
robbed in Cordova; we see men robbed
here, because when a saloonkeeper al
lows a man to spend his money after
he has arrived at a condition where
he does not know what he is doing,
he is certainly robbing him, and would
do him less harm if tje took his money
i rum mm. v> ny uo mese imngs nap
pen? The condition of the saloon
keeper's license is that he shall not
sell liquor to an intoxicated individ
ual, nnd is it probable or possible
that inen would be “cleaned" if the
officers were vigilant. Does the
court use enough care in granting li
censes? Speaking for this division
I say emphatically that he does not.
The men with bad reputations in the
saloon business have had them for
years, but continue to get a license.
Do the people use any care or discre
tion in signing petitions for licenses?
They do not. They talk about ihe
horrible things that certain men do,
but when these men present their pe
titions for their signatures they all
sign them because “they do not want
to make any enemies.” Why I saw a
man some years ago protesting a li
cense in open court, and the Judge
turned the license over and asked
the man was that hJs signature, and
he said that he did not'remember
signing it, but there was no doubt it
was his signature.
I suppose the judge would say that
I, a private citizen, should gather up
the evidence of wrong doing and at
my own expense take the witnesses to
Valdez and show him why he should
not grant a license. If this is the
proper procedure, what are we pay
ing all the officers for?
If you close all the saloons what are
you going to replace them with?
Where one man spends or is robbed
of all of his money ten men get ra
tional, comfortable enjoyment, and
the benefit of light and heat, which
are both of some importance in this
country. The saloon Is the poor
(nan’s club, and if because a few men
are weak, and a few men are vicious
you are going to take that club away,
you must provide something else.
The saloon regulations are made to
protect the weak against the vicious.
Why are they not enforced.
Knowing whereof I speak, I say that
if the regulation or law (I believe it
is a law) that liquor shall not be
sold between midnight and 6 a. m.
were enforced, the nrolnmred debauch
would be a thing of the past, and If
the courts would refuse licenses to
men who did not live up to the con
ditions, and the public would not sign
petitions for men whom they know
should not have licenses, the agita
tions for no Baloona would soon die.
We have all “hollered” pretty loud
about Colonel Roosevelt s suspending
the honest coal locator’s rights, as
well as the dishonest. Do not let
us do the same injustice to men who
are running what Is to them aB le
gitimate and honest a business ns
ours is to us.

RUSSIANS 111
VIENNA, Jan 4—(Correspondone
of the Associated Press) The Ossc
llnski Library Museum at Lemberg
from which the Russians recently car
ried off a large number of art object!
and manuscripts, is considered th<
most important Polish national ar
and bibliographical Institution In exist
ence. According to authentic re
ports the Russians transferred to Pe
trogrnd 1,034 paintings, 24,000 etch
ings, 5,000 autographs, and a quantl
ty of manuscripts of which ns yet il
has been Impossible even to mnke ar
estimate. Austrian Poles bitterly re
sent this raiding of their art and lit
erary holy-of-holles, since among the
articles carried off there are many
priceless speciments of an original,
literary and art-historical character
which it would be impossible to re
place.
The institution was founded about
1819 by Count Joseph Maxmilian
Ossolinski von Tenczyn. The collec
tion grew rapidly, and In 1837 it in
eluded one of the largest and best
collections of plaster-of-Paris casts in
Europe, in -addition to coins, medals,
paintings, copper plates, and a com
prehensive collection of objects re
lated to naturnl history.
A few years later a large plant was
added. Books printed there were
largely of a IP erary and historical
character, designed to foster the Pol
ish spirit not only in that part ol
Austria-Hungary but also in Russian
Poland. A few years ago the museum
contained 128,000 separate works.
The most valuable painting of the
Ossolinski museum is a portrait by
Titian. It had been taken to Vienna
to undergo renovation when the war
broke out.
After his arrest at Juneau G. Haz
zard, of Tacoma, charged with oh
mining money in Cordova under false
pretenses, is credited with having
given the following statement to the
Juneau Empire;
Mr. Hazzard says that the Cordova
obligations for which he was placed
under arrest, are debts, and that the)
are not yet due. He says he is pre
pared to pay all of them when the)
become due.
"Judge A. Judson Adams endorsed f
not for me, at the Bank of Cordovi
which will not be due for 60 days
and there are a few other obligation!
in smaller amounts which I will pay'
said Mr. Hazzard. "I did not expec
to leave Cordova, until the boat wa
in port. H. C. Peterson, a man wh'
is working with me on a statistics
review of Alaska, which has been ii
process of preparation for some time
had informed me that he would arriv
from Seward on the Alameda. 1 ha'
some business here that I wanted t
attend to. I purchased a ticket, an
went down to the boat to meet hin
He was no there, and I decided t
come to Juneau and attend to th
business myself, and then go back t
Cordova. When I arrived here, I wa
arrested. That is the whole story.
"I owe some nu^ky at Cordova, an
1 am prepared to pay it.”
Mr. Hazzard is very anxious to ge
back at the earliest possible date an
get things straightened out.
