LONDON- The British museum plans to have the finest collection in the world of the war literature pro duced during the present conflict. Not only English books, but publications in , French. Russian, Italian. German and , other European languages, are being j obtained from every available source. | "We shall not expect or desire to obtain every war book published." ex plained the head of the library "for . many of them are., of course, value less. and we exercise the same dis- , crimination in purchasing a book about the war as we do in buying otb er works. We want all the cream of the world's literature, but we want none of the trash. Of foreign war books generally we are taking about two or three out of a dozen. We have already received, a fairly good collec tion of what has been published in Germany and Austria since the be ginning of operations. "We have not added any experts in military literature to our staff. We; have our own experts who devote the energies each to the literature of a particular nation. It is for them to deal with the war books of the na- j tion concern^. "Germany seems to be very prone to religious works on the war. We have quite a number of German the-i ological wctr books, although we have received no German books for about; 10 weeks. We shall have to complete our collection of German books after the war. although in the meantime we shall pick up what we can a opportunity offers." The British museum's library L<? admittedly the greatest and most cos-. mopolUan in the world. It has the best French library outside of .France m<l the best Russian library outside pf Russia. Its collection of Italian literature is unexcelled except for that in the Vatican. So far as French literature is concerned, it has book3 which do not exist even in France, owing to the Revolution and the wars of 1848 and 1870. Refugees of the French revolutionary period brought many valuable works to the great English library. "Have the Belgian refugees of the present era brought many gifts to the museum?" the director was ask ed. "A few," he repined. "But unfor tunately their departure was general ly so hurried, that they had little opportunity to bring such things with them." The staff of the museum has been depleted about 70 per cent, by en listment. Several of the official staff are officers in the new armies, while the library and museum attendants are serving as noncommissioned offi cers or in the ranks. The work of those who remain is partly lighten ed by the fact that the number of visitors and readers has fallen off nearly 60 per cent during the last year.?(Spokesman Review.)

SULZER LAYS A BET ON ALASKA COPPER SEATTLE. July 28.?Another big copper mine, producing 100 tons a day, has been added to Alaska's long list of copper-producing mines, ac cording to William Sulzer, former governor of New York, who returned yesterday from Ketchikan, after spending a month with his brother. Charles A. Sulzer. in- aramging de tails for reopening tne mine. He was registered at the Rainier-Grand yesterday and left for San Francisco this morning. The mine is owned largely by the ; Sulzer family, said Mr. Sulzer yes terday. "It is located about forty miles from Ketchikan. Everything is going good there now. We sent our first shipment of copper to Tacoma last week, and expect from now on to ship about once.in two weeks. Forty men are working there now and more will be put on later." The Sulzer mine was 'closed down last September when the price of cop per dropped to 7 cents a pound. At the present price it can be mined at an average profit of about $20 a ton. In the past the Sulzer property has produced copper to the value of $1, 250,000, and has turned back to Seat tle about $632,000 for supplies and equipment." Mr. Sulzer left for Alaska just one month ago, taking with him a large consignment of supplies. Busi ness oppointments in the South made it necessary for him to decline Invi tations to speak before the Arctic Club and the local Democratic asoo ' elation. GOMPERS CHARGES THAT FOREIGNERS INSTIGATE STRIKES WASHINGTON ? President Gom pera of the American Federation of Labor touay relteeratccl his charge that foreign Influences hud been working to produce strikes In tho United Stale.; and culled upon the worklngmen to discountenance any such attempts. Mr. fioi.ipors made public his cor respondence with (lie Central Trades Union of Now York, which raudo an inquiry regarding a statement attrl tributcd to Mr. fcompcrs, that "offic ers of international unions had receiv ed money to pull off strikes In Bridg port and elsewhere In ammunition factories. What I did say was that authentic information hud come to me that efforts had been made to corrupt men for the purpose of having strikes Inaugurated among seamen and longshoremen engaged handling American products and manning tho ships for European ports; that tho corrupting influence was being con ducted by agents of n foreign govern ment and that I had no doubt tho same agencies were at work else where with the same purpose iu view. "We should all enter an emphatic protest and frown down upon any for eign interference, no matter^by what motive nctuentated. particularly if that motive is ulterior and to the det riment of the good name, growth and permanence of our great cause. "That the effort has been made to corrupt some of our men for such a purpose is true, but that the strikes have been inaugurated Is untrue; and it is untrue because the men who have given time and service to the work/rs of our country have inter posed in time." - - - FAIRBANKS ENDORSES MCPHERSON'S CELEBRATION FAIRBANKS, July 28.?

JUNE FIGURES FOR JACKLING "PORPHYRY" COPPER COMPANIES BOSTON. July 29.?The Juno pro duction figures of tho so-called Jack ting "porphyry" copper mines fur nished an, interesting sidelight on the offorts which havo boon made to push production to the limit In order to take advnntugc of the high price of Utah Copper Co. produced in June 14.7:10,000 pounds of copper, or at the rate of 176.000,000 pounds a year. This was a high record by 700.000 pounds, Just as May made a now high record up to that time. Chlno al30 set a new high mark, ?with the production of nearly 7,000, 000 pounds, or at tho annual rate of 84.000,000 pounds. Ray Consolidate and Nevada Consolidated showed 'smaller outputs than in May, the decline in Ray's out put being due to tlic strike which in terrupted operations for a short time. Ray has yet to get back to its top ilg urcB of a year ago. but even now is producing at the rate of over 60,000. 000 pounds a year, against about 48, 000,000 in January. All the producing copper compan ies have not the ability, of course, to increase their production as fast or as much as Utah and Chino, but this big output by the "porphyries" is typical of what every mine is doing, according to its ability to expand. Production from new properties, su^h as the Chile Copper Co., likewise has to be reck oned with, so that it is little to be wondered that for the moment the upward rush of tho price of copper has been checked.?(Boston N'Jwb Bu reau.) ALASKA CLIMATE CHANGES SAYS SULZEIT ' SEATTLE, July 29. ? More ot a booster than over, William Sulzer, ex governor of New York and ex-cougrca man from the same state, arrived In Seattle Monday with Mrs. Sulzer from a month's visit in Alaska, where Jlr. Sulzer Inspected copper mines owned by himself and his brother^ ('has. A. Sulzer, at Sulzer, fifty miles from Ket chikan. Sunburned from many hunting and fishinf trips while in the North, Mr. Sulzer declared that Alaska as a sum mer resort could not be beaten any where in the world. "Alaska is a great country," h6 said. "It is on the threshold of the greatest development it has ever seen. The mineral production of the country will increase more and more every year for a hundred years at least." Mr. Sulzer believes that the climate of Alaska is gradually changing. "I have been informed by a great many, and I believe it myself, that the climate of Southeastern Alaska is getting milder all the time," he said. r- ' ? ? ?: "This Is caused by the Japan current, which seems to be netting in closer 1 to the shore all the time. Not only la i Southeastern Alaska changing, but ::he whole country. 1 believe that within 200 year$ there will not tye a glacier remaining In Alaska." Mr. Sul/.er Is not talking politics. As he leaves today for the Pannina 1'aclflc exposition and thcnco Hast, he was unablo to And the time to de liver any addresses while In the city. "I regret that press of businoas has prevented mc from accepting the hos pitality which has boon offorod ine," he said. "However, 1 will bo back , here this fall In all probability and ihen will make a longer stay."?(Se attle Post-Intclllgoncer.) RAILROAD WORK MAKES* PROGRESS SEATTLE, July 31.?Work on tlio government railway In Alaska Is pro cessing rapidly and the estimate of forty miles of completed roRd in 1915 made by the commission this spring will' undoubtedly be fulfilled, says i Tarry Miller, a lumberman of Anch orage, who is a guest at the Fryo. Mr. Miller, with others, put In a snw : mill at Anchorage following the an I nounccment of the railroad route, and while business in their line is nothing i remarkable Just yet, they expect con (litinons to improve. "We cut spruce" and birch, the native woods, but we find a lot of competition from Wash ington fir, which Is shipepd in," said Mr. Miller yesterday. "Our 3pruce to compete with fir must be well sea soned, nnd that, of course, takes time. Although Anchorage has the aspect of a real city 1 would not be surprised ,to see the whole thing moved bodily to Matanuskn Junction, a new town on the route of the railroad. As the buildings at Anchorage are tempor ary, such a move would be easy." ? (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) * + + AMONG THE THEATRE8. ? * . ? t + + + + + + + + + + + STRAND WAR SERIES.
