“I voted for the Alaska railroad bill
10 that the navy will be able to use
he coal from the Matanuska field, and
want the commission to hurry up
ind get the road built. The opening
if this coal field will put a stop to the
lepredations that have been made on
he public treasury by these people on
fhe Atlantic coast who make coal con
tracts with the government. 1 had
his coal contract business investigat
ed last year. I have been keeping my
noe eye on naval contracts for the
past twenty years, and I want to tell
you that some of those contractors are
the subtlest, cunningest scoundrels on
earth. They are absolutely remorse
less in their greed. They have made
millions out of the government and
they want to make more millions. 1
have no doubt they were largely re
sponsible for keeping the Alaskan coal
put of the market.”
«
The foregoing positive declaration
was made by United States Senator
Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, who
Is chairman of the commltte on naval
affairs, and who has just returned
from a trip to Alaska.
Senator Tillman is strongly In favor
of the upbuilding of the coast artil
lery, the naval militia and ©very other
branch of the national guard that will
give the nation a body of men that
might be mobilized in case of emer
gency.
“We must be prepared to meet such
An onslaught as has been made by
flermany,” said the veteran Southern
statesman. “We may have to fight
one of the European belligerents when
the present war is over, and we would
better be ready. I don’t think we
will have to fight England, because
England is a democratic country like
our own.
“Among other things this govern
ment ought to have on hand a big
stock of arms and ammunition—suf
ficient to meet any emergency that
might arise. We don’t want to be
like the Russians, with the rear rank
waiting for the front rank to be shot
bo that they could get hold of a rifle
to shoot with.
“And another thing we must do is,
to find some way of awarding army
and navy contracts on absolute merits,
and put a stop to the work of the
bunch of scondrels who rob the gov
ernment every chance they get. It’s
about time w» stopped men from Be
coming wealthy just because they have
friends in Congress. If people would
read Winston Churchill’s latest hook,
‘The Far Country,’ they would have
some idea of how these things are
done.”
ENGLISH SHELL FUSE
PROVES FATAL SOUVENIR
MUNICH, Aug. 14—Two school boys
were killed and nine others seriously
inured at Gunzenhausen recently by
the explosion of an English shell sent
from the front as a souvenir.
The shell fuse was one of a dozen,
which had been sent by a former
student, and which were being dis
tributed to certain pupils as prizes
for excellence in gymnastics. The
sender and the teachers apparently
regarded the fuse as harmless.

AUSTRIAN HEALTH RESORTS
_
ZURICH, Switzerland, Aug. 14—
Delegates from the big Austrian
health resorts, which are usually
supported largely by the traffic of
tourists and health pilgrims from
England and America, have just con
cluded a series of conferences with
Finance Minister Engel, to whom they
explained the distress prevailing in
Austrian tourist and health resorts
and asked for financial assistance.
Among the places represented by dele
gates were Mariebad and Karlsbad.
The Finance Minister promised to
establish credit banks, to assist local
relief bodies as largely as possible,
and to reduce taxes on houses and
lands.
BRITISH ARMY ABOPTS
RUSSIAN ARMY BOOT
LONDON, Aug. 14—The British
army has decided to discontinue the
use of the puttee, which has been the
distinguishing leg wear of the British
soldier for many years, and to substi
tute the Russian army boot. This, de
cision was arrived at as a result of
last winter’s campaign in Flanders,
when it was found that the cloth putee
was little or no protection against the
mud and water and led to tne men
suffering, not from frost bitten, but
from benumbed feet and legs. h,arge
orders have already been given for
boots, which will be supplied to the
troops before winter sets in, as the
War Office anticipated another win
,ter in mud and water-soaked trenches.
