^ LONDON, Sept. 13 (by Associated
lb-ess).—Charges that the Serbian
military forces have stopped a Bri
tish and a Canadian mission from do
ing relief work in Montenegro are
made by Alex Devine of Winchester
in a statement he has just issued.
Mr. Devine describes himself as a
friend of Montenegro whose “only in- i
terest in that country is that it shall
have the chance of determining its
own fate—a right that has been de
nied to Montenegrins alone of all the
recognized allied nations owing to
ttyp forcible report that he is a “paid
agent” of Nicholas, formerly king of
Montenegro.
Mr. Devine alleges that the British
relief mission was prevented from j
Entering Montenegro by the Serbian
military forces acting on orders from !
Belgrade and under threats of vio
lence was compelled to retire to a
base in Italy.
According to Mr. Devine, the Can
dian Medical Mission headed by Col
onel Burnham which had been opera
ting in Montenegro for some time
also has been stopped. He states that
Colonel Burnham has appealed to j
the British foreign secretary for pro
tection informing the secretary that
“the seriousness of the situation here,
created by the Serbs, admits of no
delay,” and asking that the British
government ensure the safety of the
mission. Mr. Devine quotes Colo
nel Burnham as accusing the Ser
w ' bians of seizing the boats and mater
ial of the mission and of terrorizing
his people. Mr. Devine says:
“Colonel Burnham says that he has ;
been threatened with assassination
and that the mission is spied on to
such an extent that even the sick are
afraid to come to the hospital for re
lief. The Colonel adds:
“When the veil is lifted from the
Ipek country there will be found a
condition of affairs which will come
as a rude shock to those who have
put their confidence and given their
help to Serbia. The reign of teror
is complete, there are not many Mon
tenegrins, and in another year there
will be none left. The entire coun
try is mourning and it is no longer
possible for these people to exist,
^ many have lost their reason and all
are in the direst distress. Montenegro
is being done to death.”
OCTO R12
NEW YORK. Sept. 13 (by Associ
ated Press).—Georges Carpentier, the
French heavy-weight champion, ar
rived here today from France. He
was greeted by delegations of twenty
five French societies, and given a
hearty welcome. Carpentier expects
to start preparations immediately for
a bout with Battling Levinsky, to
take place in Brooklyn October 12.
MEMBER OF UNAiGA CREW
DROWNED AT LATOUCHE
James Lewis, colored, a member of
the crew of the United States cutter
Unalga was drowned at Latouche
last Wednesday night by falling off
the wharf leading to town, and his
body was brought to Valdez on the
Unalga and given a military funeral
at Fort Liscum Saturday afternoon,
where the remains were interred. The
deceased was from Baltimore, Md.
In company with another member
of the crew, Mr. Lewis started up
the wharf at Latouche to go to a movie
show. It was dark at the time and at
a point where the walk makes a sharp
turn, the unfortunate youth stepped off
and fell into the bay. It is believed
he must have struck his head in fall
ing, as he made no attempt to save
himself after striking the water. The
bos’en and gunner’s mate attempted to
rescue the injured man, but were un
able to reach him. Deputies Casler
and Buckley rushed to the scene and
after some time succeeded in grap
pling the body.
Dr. Washburn and members of the
crew worked over the body for three
hours in an attempt to restore the vi
tal spark, but to no avail.
The Episcopal Guild will hold an
other cooking sale on Saturday after
noon, September 18, at Hegg’s store.

Mr. Speaker, with the assistance of the office of
naval intelligence, I have made a very careful com
parison between the first-line battleships and battle
cruisers of Great Britain and of the United States
navy, and I think I can prove without fear of success
ful contradiction that in first-line 20,000-ton ships of
at least 20-knot speed, the United States now has,
built and building, the most powerful navy in all the
world.
During the years 1916, 1917, <md 1918, the Uni
ted States has made tremendous strides in battleship
authorizations, with the result that 1923 will see the American navy the
predominant navy of the world and capable of defeating the navies of
anjT three nations combined, excepting, of course, Great Britain.
I find that we have 33 battleships and battle cruisers built and build
ing, all of which will be available for action in 1923, while Great Britain
has 35 first-line ships of the same character, thus giving England an ad
vantage of two ships,- which we immediately offset by greater speed and
tonnage, bigger guns, superior muzzle velocity, heavier armor, and more
modern construction. ^
The American ships have a total tonnage of 1,118,650 tons as against
the British of 88-1,100 tons, showing a superiority of 234,550 tons or an
advantage of 8,638 tons per ship, equaling 34.2 per cent.
In average speed of all vessels we are practically the same, showing
a fraction less than 23.7 knots average per ship.
In main batteries we show 340 guns to 314 for the British, with an
average of 10.3 big guns pet ship to the British 8.97 guns per ship, while
our guns will average 144o-inch caliber as against the British 13 2-3-inch
—28.7 per cent superiority. In the secondary battery our percentage of
superiority is more than 33.
It is shown that one volley from all guns on our 33 ships will throw
588,638 pounds of steel as against 484,080 pounds from all British guns,
or an excess in our favor of 104,558 pounds, or 4,006 pounds per ship, or
a superiority of 29 per cent.
We find ourselves confronted with positive figures showing 34.2 per
cent more tonnage, carrying larger guns, throwing 28.7 per cent more
long-range steel, more modern ships, with greater radius of action and
power than England has ever possessed in first-line fighting ships.
While the pride of England may be hurt by her slide into second
place among the naval powers of the world, she certainly can not hope to
successfully compete against us if we are really determined to take the
place we are entitled to on the seas as the world's foremost nation and
where American commerce can receive the protection it failed to get prior
to our entrance into the world war.

Just outside the great seaport city of Seattle, reached
in 45 minutes by paved boulevards and smooth country
roads; with fine, big comfortably upholstered electric
cars passing through the district every hour of the day
and up to midnight, the greatest poultry district in
the United States is rapidly being brought into final
development.
Alderwood Manor, and the beautiful plan upon which
it is founded, is attracting the earnest attention of noted
poultry culturists, and experts in all parts of America,
who see in this wonderful undertaking a practical solu
. • f* /• r* i * t
tion or present ana iuture iooa proDiems.
Eighteen thousand acres of the rich logged-off land, undulating and ideally adapted for poultry raising, is embraced in the
project. In the center of this vast tract the Puget Mill Company, founder of Alderwood Manor, has built a most remarkable
Demonstration Farm and Poultry College, costing upwards of $200,000.00, and dedicated to the free education of the thousands
of men and women who are turning their backs on the city for the better, surer, mere independent way of living.
The Puget Mill Company has expended more than a million dollars in road building and preparing the land for settlement.
Hundreds of thousands more are being spent, keeping big crews of land clearers, and ten big puffing special-type donkey engines
at work every day in the year.
More than 350 homes and poultry plants have been built where but less than three years ago there were but three settlers.
These homes are owned and occupied by actual purchasers who are engaging in poultry raising just as quickly as circumstances
will permit.
Thousands upon thousands of thoroughbred White Leghorn hens are bringing a steady flow of cash to Alderwood Manor, many
of the proud poultrymen comamnding premium prices for their superior product.
There’s big profits in raising poultry for egg production, under the scientific plan adopted, fostered and encouraged under the Alderwood Manor system
Free education, practical asistance when needed, insures absolute success to those fortunate enough to own a farm at Alderwood Manor.
One of the chief advantages is in being located close to Seattle, the greatest market center on the Pacific Coast. Every steamer that clears for Alaska
British Columbia and other points carries great shipments of new laid eggs.
Auto trucks call at your door for all you can supply, returning the empty cases for refilling. Eggs are spot cash and you don't have to carry them ✓
miles to market. The customer comes to your door. 4^,'
Feed can be bought at wholesale cost, right at the big granary warehouse on the Alderwood Manor Demonstration Farm, where you can also get
the highest market price in cash for your eggs. 6
And here you can live in the finest climate on earth, no hot days in summer, no extreme cold in winter. Seldom any snow out here, yet
from your porch or window you view the grandeur of snow-capped mountains all around. A few minutes' drive takes you to beautiful ^
lakes or seashore bathing beaches. S*
The Puget Mill Company will sell you a little 5-acre poultry farm at Alderwood Manor, help you build a home, render financial
assistance in getting started in a profitable industry. X .vCt* ® •*
