BRITISH STEAMER BLOWN UP
j - I
LONDON, Oct. 28.—The steamer Manchester Corn
vessel was destroyed at a spot on the route of trans-At
merce has been blown up by a mine oft the coast of Ii eland
and the occurrence has caused a violent shock here as the
lantic liners, showing that the Germans are now threaten
ing in its most vulnerable point the commerce of the Brit
ish islands. As to how the Germans could have laid the
mines so far away from German territory no one can give
an explanation but the loss of the steamer is sure to bring
about greater vigilance. The occurrence may have the
effect of injuring passenger traffic.
DIRECT TORPEDOES FROM SHORE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—Experiments made by the
American army have proven that it is Quite feasible foi
an operator on the shore to direct torpedoes against hos
tile ships by the radio system. It has been shown that
even when the warships to be attacked are miles out to
sea the torpedoes can be directed against them with
practically unfailing accuracy. The experiments have
recently been made and many believe that the result may
have an immense effect on future wars if not on the one
now proceeding.
dutch lugger sunk
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 28.—The Dutch lugger Vlaardin
gen has been sunk oil the coast of Holland by a mine and
all the members of the crew were lost. Ihe occurrence
took place forty miles north of Ymuiden. No one can
guess as to which nation was responsible. Some people
are inclined to think that the British have begun to lay
mines to interrupt the commerce of Holland as they have
believed that cargoes consigned to Holland are ultimate
ly shipped to Germany. Others believe, however, and they
are the majority, that the Germans have mined those
waters to prevent the shipping of farm produce from
Holland to Britain.
BERLIN ON POLISH FIGHT
BERLIN, Oct. 28.—The Austrian and German of
ficial reports of the lighting along the Vistula river and
the San are to the effect that the Russian forces are very
much superior numerically. In Berlin and \ ienna the
great battle in that part of the field of war attracts as
much attention as the fighting in France and Belgium
and the result is regarded as being of equal importance.
The German military authorities deny the reports of
victory sent out from Petrograd but it is conceded that
the allied Teuton forces have not succeeded in making a
crossing of the \ istula and as long as that river sepaiates
the German army from Warsaw it is believed that the
task of the German troops is a very serious one. The ac
counts given out by the war office are still very meagre
authough what is told is of an optimistic nature in rela
tion to the progress of the war both in the east and west.
EMDEN SINKS JAP SHIP
BERLIN, Oct. 28.—The German cruiser Emden has
followed up her career of destruction by sinking the
little Japanese steamer Kamegasaki Maru which was
bound to Singapore. The German cruisers which are
now dashing about the oceans seem to have no difficulty
in securing all the coal required and this city is naturally
jubilant because of he destructive work accomplished
by them on the shipping of hostile nations.

SAYS KNIK AR1CULTURE
BEATS MASSACHUSETTS
Situated on the banks of the beauti
ful Knik lake, directly across from
| Knik city, A. J. Pierce last April fded
on a homestead. He started In im
! mediately clearing ofT the timber and
! getting down to actual farming. A
run across to Mr. Pierce’s Crystal
Springs ranch will convince the most
sceptical that this section of Alaska
j certainly has a great future as an ag
ricultural country. Potatoes, cabbage,
carrots, parsnips, peas and lettuce
have thrived on this ranch this year.
From twenty pounds of seed Mr. Pier
ce has already taken out of a small
patch over eighteen crates of potatoes.
Three strawberry beds on this ranch
also promise to turn out successful, i
Next spring it is the intention of the,
owner of the Crystal Springs ranchto
experiment on alfalfa.
Mr. Pierce, who comes from Massa
chusetts, says this is the finest agri
culture land he has ever seen. In his
opinion five acres properly cultivated,
would make a man independent.
