TROOPS FROM ALASKA
AAAY GO TO FORT WRIGHT
t
The Alaska troops at Port William
H. Seward will leave soon for Fort
Wright, near Spokane, according to
information received at Juneau. The
information is that they are likely to
receive the orders to embark for the
Eastern Washington city any day.
Word was received at Fort Seward
several days ago that the men re
cruited under the selective draft law
would be transferred, and the com
. manding officer was directed to have
them in readiness for orders to move.
That resulted in his cancellation of
the proffer to permit the men to visit
Juneau on the Fourth of July. It
was not known at that time where
they would go.
Fort Wright is regarded by soldiers
as one of (he best posts in the West.

AND WAR SCENE TO SHIFT
The summary of war conditions issued by the Associated

“There are no outward indications as to the time and place
of the next German stroke on the west front. German artillery
ing is violent south of Arras and south of the Aisne, and there
is a possibility that the Germans may strike there.”
Last night’s summary of war conditions issued by the

“With the return to almost normal conditions on the Ital
ian front, there is no indication that the Austrians will launch
another offensive in the immediate future.
“Interest centers on the western front, where a resump
tion of the offensive is imminent. The Germans are trying out
with their artillery the stability of the British and French posi
tions in various sectors from Flanders to the Marne.
“The Germans apparently are resigned to the loss to the
Americans of Belleau wood, north of Chateau Thierry. No
counter-attacks have been made in an endeavor to regain the
lost ground. In addition to killing and wounding many of the
nemv, the Americans took 311 prisoners, eleven machine guns,
ten automatic rifles, a large quantity of ammunition and other
• tores when the wood was stormed ”
