" BELIEVES SHIP CREEK
DOPE ALL TOMMYROT
William Sauers, of the Seward Com
mercial Company, Is one man who
ia perfectly convinced that ship creek
will never be made a terminal or even
shipping s'atlon for the government
-» railroad to the Matanuaka, and he
“ given some reasons for this l>elief
which are well worth quoting. He
declares, in the first place, that even
In the open season vessels like the
Bertha, Sampson and the rest can only
make their way to 8hlp creek with
the tide. The channel Is only a
hundred feet wide at that. Another
fnct he mentions Is that the Insurance
on ships stops at Fire Island, owing
to tile danger from shoals further on.
Mr. Sauers Is sure, nnd granted these
facts others will surely agree, that
Ship creek would be out of the run

PAIU8, Jan. 16—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)—The rela
tion of the labor unions to the wnr has
been altogether cerdltable to them,
according to M. Marck, treasurer of
the Pederntion of I^abor Unions of the
Seine. He said the government had
always been nervous about labor un
ions In case of war, and as the anti
militarist campaign had reached al
armning proportions it was thought a
serious question what might be the
extent of defections In case of an
outbreak.
That this had been a false alarm
of fear was evident from the fact that
"three hundred thousand trades-union
ists—not revolutionists—have raised
their voices ngainst the aggressor."
“The militant union leaders are now
too much occupied In the trenches,
and at other ponints where there’s pa
’ triotic work to do, to think of the
fight between lnbor and capital,” he
said.
“Rut," he added, "because we’re
doing our duty it will be a mistake
to suppose that after it’s over we shall
disarm and abandon our fight for the
eight hour day and the Saturday half
holiday; the fighting, in my opinion,
will then be hotter than ever.
“Rut that is for later on, Just now
we are too busy distributing tickets
for meals to unemployed, and we are
short of help for most of the union
leaders are at the front; many of
them have proven by giving their
lives to the cause that they were as
much patriots as those who were de
nying them the right to be so-called.
“Chalopin, of the School Teachers’
Union, had been killed, while Capy, of
the Jewellers’ Union, has lost his two
legs.
“It’s not only the younger Union
men who are serving their country;
the older ones are doing their part In
different ways; five thousand of the
"navies were recruited in one day to
hustle the work of intrenching the
army of Paris when the Germans were
on their way toward the gates of the
city, and they all went cheerfully
without a murmur; they slept In the
open, just, as the soldiers do, and they
rushed through the work so that if
Von Kluek had ever gotten within
gunshot of the outer trenches, he
would have received a disagreeable
ij-prise.
"Another, and far more disagree
able duty performed by the navies’
union was the burying of the aban
doned German dead on the field of the
battle of the Marne.”

LUND MINES EXPLODED
in trench mm
PET HOG RAD, Jan. 16—Correspon
dence of the Associated Press)—The
German army in front of Warsaw is
using some new offensive machinery
in its trench warfare with excellent
results. Among these new weapons
are some very powerful land mines,
I which are set at night by sappers
and exploded later by electricity. So
called "t ->rpedoes” and Improved hand
grenades are also used.
The torpedoes are really bombs of
formidable size, which explode on con
tact and spread death-dealing frag
meats of Jagged iron, at tho same time
poisoning the air for twenty yards
around with a deadly gas. These
are hurled silently from a sort of bal
llata or catapault, which has a useful
range of about 150 feet.
The hand grenade resembles In ap
pearance a large skyrocket. A tin
canister with a pointed head Is afltxdtl
to a stick or handle about two feet
long. The canister is filled with bul
lets and an explosive charge fired
by contact on the pointed head. The
grenade is thrown by hand, the stick
serving both as a handle and as a
tail, which insures the pointed head
striking first and exploding the con
tents. They are used in infantry
charges during the few moments when
the rifles cease firing and the bayo
nets are not yet within striking dis
tance.

LONDON, Jan. 16—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press) Dr. Wil
liam Carnegie. Cannon of Westmin
ster, announced to IiIh parisboners on
“Intercession Sunday” that he would
not comply with the request that had
been made of him to pray for the suc
cess of the British arms. He said

not be prayed for—I mention it with
greatest hesitation, but feel It to be
tny duty, since It is set forth In the
seventh section of the authorized
form—Is the triumph of our cause.
We hold that our cause Is righteous,
but our foes are equally convinced that
righteousness is on their side. Clod
Is the judge and we must pray for
submission to his will, whatever be the
Issue.”
The movement of anlmnl lovers to
Introduce a special prayer for nnimals
into the service also has no support
In the higher clergy of the English
church.
“I cannot sanction for use in church
the litany which contains a prayer
for the animals and speaks of them as
offering their guileless lives,” says
Dr. Oore, Bishop of Oxford. “It has
never been the custom of the church
to pray for any other thing than those
we think are rational. It is a com
plete mistake to suppose the ortho
dox churches would countenance any
such prayers. We can. of course,
pray for men that they may be kind
to animals."

MEETING IN TRENCHES
*
LONDON, Jan. 16—(Correspondence
of the Associated Dress)—''Ifusyiess
as usual,” the motto which the Brit
ish tradesman adopted early In the
course of the war, applies even to the
business man who is on duty in the
tiring line.
An instance of this Is seen in the
announcement that the annual meet
ing of the board of directors of the
firm of Vacher and Sons, official print
ers in the British parliament, was
held In the “trenches,” all the direc
tors of the company being on duty
at the fronl in France. The minutes
of this unique directors’ meeting are
as follows:
“A meeting of the directors was
held in a dugout In the trenches on
Dec. 24, 1914.
* uiuiuH* 10 deal
with the minutes of the last meeting
owing to the absence of the minute
book.
“The accounts received from the
company's auditors for the financial
Tear ending Sept. 30 were considered
and approved, subject to confirmation
at the general meeting of the com
pany.
“The directors present regretted the
iibsence of their colleague, captain
Claude Low*, whose whereabouts at
th efront is unknown to them.
"There being no other business to
transact, the meeting closed with a
Jiearty vote of thanks to the chair
man."
