JOFFRE SAYS HOUR
OF CHASTISEMENT
FOR GERMANS NEAR
The order of the day issued to the
French army on New Year's by Gen
eral Joffro declared that the hour of
triumph for tho entonto Allies was
near, that Germany's army and re
sources are diminishing and that on
ly tho central powers are talking
pcaco.
"Soldiers of the Republic," said the
order, "at the moment when this year
of war Is terminating, you may con
sider your work with pride, and meas
ure the grandeur of what you havo
accomplished.
"In the Artois, in the Champagne,
in the Woevro and in tho Vosges you
havo inflicted upon the enemy re
sounding blows and caused sanguinary
losses, losses incomparably greater
than ours. Tho German army still
holds out, but sees its numbers and
resources diminishing each day.
"Obliged to succor weakening Aus
tria. Germany must seek in secondary
theatres temporary and easy success
es that she has failed to gain on the
principal fronts. All the Germau col
onies arc either isolated from tho
world or in our hands.
"On the contrary, tho Allies are re
enforcing themselves unceasingly. In
contestable masters of the sea, they
can easily obtain supplies, while the
[Central powers, financially and econ
omically exhausted, are reduced to
counting only upon our discord or fa
t'gue. As if the Allies, who have
sworn to fight to the bitter end, were
lisposcd to violate their oath at the
moment when tho hour of chastise
ment was going to strike for Germany
as if our soldiers, who "have waged
| the hardest of combats, wore not of
{the stuff to bold out in spite of cold
jand mud.
"Let us be proud of our might and
our right. Let us think of the post
only to find in it reasons for confi
dence. Let us think of our dead on
| !y to avenge them. While our cne
: mles are talking of peaco, let us think
only of war and victory,
i "At the beginning of a year that
will be, thanks to you. a glorious one
for France, your Commanderin-chief
addresses to you from the bottom of
his heart the most affectionate greet
ings."
"J. JOFFRE."

CUSHMAN, JR., NOT
KILLED; HIS AUTO
RAN DOWN YOUTH
The Empire was in error Saturday
in announcing the death ot Edward
E. Cushmun, Jr., son of a former Al
askan, but now United States judge
at Tacoma. It was another boy who
was killed, and by Young Cushman's
automobile. Lestor 0. Gore of Ju
neau received a letter from a friend
In Seattle, In which It was said that
Cushman himself was killed, but Ta
coma papers contain a different story.
One article on the accident was in
the Tacoma Ledger, as follows:
"Coroner F. J. Stewart, has put It
up to Prosecutor Remans, to deter
mine If it is necessary to hold an in
quest into the death of Elmer Nelson,
who was knocked to the pavement and
fatally injured by an automobile driv
en by Edward Cushman Jr., son of
Federal Judge E. E. Cushman. Depu
ty Prosecutor Cramer will begin an
investigation today and whether an
inquest will be held depends upon the
information ho supplies. Coroner
Stewart says ho was informed by a
witness of the accident that the Cush
man car was being drjven In tho cen
ter of the street car tracks and at a
high speed. The automobile was trav
eling East and young Nelson had Just
stepped around the south end of a
street car when ho was struck."
Young Cushman was later exoner
ated.

His splendid physique proved rather
a handicap to him in entering the

ALASKA COAL LANDS
LIKELY TO BE OPENED
SOMETIME THIS SPRING
That efforts will bo made to have
the Alaska coal lands In shape to be
OBerated under leases this spring Is
indicated in the announcement from
Washington that a final draft of the
rules and regulations is about to be
submitted and that George Watkin
Evans, the Seattle eng'neer, who
has made a number of examinations
of the Alaskan fields, both from the
scientific and the commercial stand
point, has been requested to go to
Washington for a conference with
Secrcary of the Interior Franklin K.
Lane, according to a signed article
by J. J. Underwood in the Seattle
T.'mes,
Evans admitted that he has been
summoned to Washington and that he
will file his annual report on the
Matanuska and Bering It;ver fields
while there. The preliminary report
already has been approved. These
reports divide the fields into work
able areas.
"Eastern people are coming to roa- '
1'ze that the Alaskan coal fields will
present jus as many difficulties of
operation as other fields." said Evans,
"and that capital invested in them
should be given Just as much protec
tion.
Evans Successful
Evans has been eminently suc
cessful in handling Alaskan coal mat
ters and this, incidentally, Is true <
of Western engineers generally, who \
have been more successful than those <
from the East. \
The government reached this con- <
elusion after tho first practical fail- \
uro of tho expedition sent to the Ber- <
Ing River fields to bring oat a sam
ple of cool for a naval test In 1912.
Tho coal was allowed to lie for sev
eral months on tho beach, whore It
was washed by the tides, and the ex
pedition generally was so soverely
criticised that another test was ask
ed for.
Tho following year, whon the gov
ernment needed a sample of coal from
tho Matanuska valley field. It placed
Evans In charge. The Matanuska
1b much farther than the Bering riv
er coal, but nevertheless tho coal
was brought out that year. Instead
of taking a lot of men from tho col
leges of tho east, Evans recruited his
help from the coal mines of Wash
ington, with Dave Bottlng, now com
missioner for the coal operators of
tho state, as superintendent.
Transportation Problem
Tho transportation problem was
turned over to Jack Dnlton, who first
marked the famous Dalton trail from
Haines Mission to the head of White
horse river. Dalton, despite many
obstacles, some of which were due to
government red tape built his roads
and brought out the coal that fall.
The fact that Evans has been call
ed Into consultation by the govern
ment on tho final drafting of the
issue indicates that the retrlsctlons
in the way of economical opcrnt'on
of tho fields will bo limited as far
as possible. Evans made a number
cf trips to Alaska, bis first being In
1897, when he crossed tho Chllkoot
pass and went down the Yukon to
Dawson.
