WAR TAX IN LILLE IS
POSTPONED FOR WEEX
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 11—(Correspon
dence of the Associated Press)—"Lille
, has already paid 3,400,000 francs as
a war tax: the feeding of German
trops has cost us a million and a half,
while the city’s damage from bombard
ment Is something over three hundred
millions,” writes the mayor of Lille
to General von Helndrlch. the military
governor, begging to be excused from
paying an additional war tax of three
million francs, which the governor had
demanded.
The governor’s reply, according to
the Lille Rulletln, which is now pub
lished bi-weekly under German super
vision, is that "In view of the quiet
behavior of the population I will al
low the payment of the remainder to
,be postponed for a week." The gov
ernor declined to recognize any ob
ligation on the part of the Germans
to feed the citizens, and recommend- ■.
ed that the mayor Import corn from
England.

Celebration expected to be flashed

minor annoyances that loom up large
where times are quiet in a small

to the selection of the terminal and
route for the new government rail
road, and form present signs there
will be occasion for considerable re
joicing In this "neck of the woods."
And this brings to mind that Cordova
Is without a brass band, one of the es

Economize All this talk of econ
At own omy in the affairs of
Expense the city remind us of
a story we once heard
of a young married couple who start
ed out with a commendable Intent to
save while young that their declining
years might be years of ease. Wifey
did not swamp, by any means, the
family purse with wildly extravagant
purchases of eatables. In the course
of events the young couple attended
a pnrty, and during the evening sand
wlches and other eatables were
served. Hubby's first attack on the
sandwich pile reduced It by seven,
while later assnults were not enumer
ated. Now the moral of this story,
ls, If you have not already guessed
lt, that while economy is always com
mendable, If you are bound to prac
tice If, do It at your own expense.

Coal Mined That Alaska contained
Here In rich deposits of good
1884 coal has been known to
sailors for more than
30 years, according to Tom Dudley,
who first sailed along the Alaska coast
In 1884.
It was while taking supplies to a
whaling fleet in the vicinity of Point
Barrow, Mr. Dudley says, In the year
mentioned, that the schooner on which
he was employed as a sailor put Into
some point along the Alaska coast
and took aboard a supply of excel
lent fuel. Just where the coal was
found he was unable to remember,
but he avers that It was of excellent
quality.
That there are veytt deposits of
coal in Alaska that are still unknown
Is the opinion of many men familiar
with the country. An Inspection of
the United States Geologic Survey
map shows that coal has been locat
ed in almost every section of the ter
ritory. This means that sometime In
the distant past, Alaska had a tropi
cal climate which promoted the pro
duction of rapidly growing trees.

heard from since the election In No

indefinite when the returns will be
received there. There seems to be
an uncertainty concerning the right
of the election board at Juneau to cer
tify to the election of the legislators
until til of the precincts have been
heard from and they are canvassed
officially.
Whether any votes were cast In
the Kuskokwim district is a matter
of much uncertainty, for last summer
when the court was at Iditarod, the
commissioner of the Kuskokwim stat
ed that he was not certain if there
were enough voters in the district
to Justify in calling an election there,
It. is just possible that an indefinite
delay in the receipt of the full elec
tion returns may delay Delegate Wick
ersham also from taking Ills seat in
Congress on March 4, if the session
begins at that time.

FINNISH SKIPPER HAD
THRILLING EXPERIENCE
PKTROORAD, Jan. 11—(Correspon
dence of the Associated Press)- -Eric
Carlson, n Finnish skipper, arriving In
Petrograd. gives the following strange
account of his escape from the Oer
mans:
"I was taken prisoner of war at the
same time that my small schooner,
which carried granite out of Abo, was
confiscated by the Oermans in Vis
mar. My crew and myself were told
that we might have the privilege of
choosing any town In Oermany where
in to 8|>end our captivity, provided It
was sixty kilometers away from the
sea. I chose a town further Inland
than any of my sailors, figuring that
would throw the Oermans |off my
guard and give me a better chance
to escape.
“As soon as I was taken into the
regular night train leRving Vistnar
a very simple plan of escape occur
red to me. While the guards were
busy getting supper, which was pessed
In through the windows of the train
by some friendly peasants at the first
stop outside of Vismar, I crawled
through the opposite window and ran
perhaps two miles back to the docks.
The night was dark, and although I
heard voices I saw no one and no one
noticed me. On the docks I found
that a pile of my own granite had
been dumped and finding a rude sort
of tunnel under this I squeezed my
self Into It, where I was cramped anu
uncomfortable, but where I was safe
for the time at least.
“As soon as It was light I jumped
into the water. It was as cold as
Ice, but I managed to pull myself
out and rested for an hour or two
on a beam under the dock. Then I
saw a Swedish ferry boat from Trelle
borg coming toward the pier. I swam
out to meet her. I was seen by a
Swedish steward who was dumping a
pan of ashes overboard. He threw
me a rope to which I clung. I told
him who I was and asked him to
let me hide under a tarpaulin that
covered a life boat. He agreed to
this and helped me to get on board.
I lay in the boat shivering in my
drenched clothes while the ferry came
to the dock, underwent Inspection by
German officers, and then put off
again for Trelleborg, where I was
safe." —

SENTRIES MAKE TRIPS
IN WAR ZONE EXCITING
LONDON, Jan. 11—(Correspondence
of the Associated Cress)—“One of the
great perils of journeying In the war
zone," writes an officer from the front,
“is the nervous, inexperienced sen
try, who is always firing at stray
cows or a dropping acorn, or other ob
jects which fall to answer his sum
mons promptly. One meets many
such sentries, and their challenges,
‘11 alt e-la.1 ferocious in some cases,
excited in others, is distinctly terri
tying, especially as it is backed up by
a business-like bayonet and a tremu
lous finger on the trigger. One is
in real danger until the word is giv
en.
“I was walking with a general in
his own territory the other day when
we were held up by such a man. who
presented his bayonet to the General's
breast and refused to move until an
officer had been summoned to estab
lish the general's Identity. Of course
he was strictly correct, but as his
rifle went off (in the air) from sheer
nervousness as we passed on, we had
reason for feeling a slight thrill."
