Berlin, via wireless to Sayvllle, Dec,
30. French claim of gain by the allies
in the western war zone Tuesday were
sweeplngly denied In the German war
office's official statement Issued here
today.
, Ho. also, were Russian stories Of
progress In the eastern theatre or nos
tilitles.
The Russian accounts of successes
against the Turks In Trans-Caucasia
. were likewise contradicted.
The Germans, It was asHerted, were
gaining southeast of Yprea and In the
vicinity of Nleuport, up to the time
when the weather grew so bad that
operations had practically to cease.
The French were given credit for a
series of "rtlllant attacks" northwest
of tialnt Menehould. in an effort to
retake certain trenches the Germans
had captured from them, but It was
declared these -attacks . were all re
pulsed and that several hundred of the
attackers were made prisoners.
Other Attacks Sepulsed.
FreBch attacks west of Apremont
and'' else where all along the western
front also were said to have been uni
formly repulsed. ?
. TheSe were Indications, It was stat
ed, thit the British were much dis
pleased with their allies for flooding
the Yser district, owing to the fact
that the high water had trapped them
. in a number of places.
In the east, the situation was re
ported unchanged along the Rawa
Bsura front, and south of Lodz it was
rtated that the Germans were advanc
ing. Dispatches were said to have been
received from Constantinople to thefef
feet that in Transcaucasia the Turks
continued their advance, the. Russians
retreating before them. British at
tempts to land troops at the Ottoman
port of Akaba were reported to have
"failed.
Peace Talk Unsanctioned.
The official press bureau indulged
in the comment that neutrals were en
titled, under The Hague convention, to
, suggest peace at any time, but added
that the German government did not
sanction peace talk.
I "In the west," said the text of the
war office's statement, in part, "we
are again fighting for the possession
of Saint Georges, Belgium, from whlc.i
our troops were driven by a surprise
attack in force.
"At the other points on the western
line the situation is unchanged.
"In the east the Russian cavalry has
been driven back in the direction of
Plllkallen. Our offensive continues on
the west bank of the Vistula. We are
progressing also east of the Bzura
Rawa line."
Jtoast lor Austrian.
Denying a Pettograd claim that the
Russians had recaptured Lowlcz and
Sklernl'ewica. the war office asserted:
"We took these positions more' than
six days ago, and Bkiernlewlcz is situ
ated far to the rear of our front.
Among the items given out for pub
licattoh by the official press bureau
was the following:
"The Russians have strengthened
their forces opposing the Austrians In
Gallcla, and the latter, it is under
stood, will be compelled to make new
dispositions, which will require some
time. Local military experts are mak
ing attempts to picture Russia's occu
patlon of the line of KrosnoaJaslo as
being no real gain for the Russians
but. on the contrary as weakening
their position. This-view, however
Is considered too optimistic, and the
fact must be faced that the extreme
left wing of the Russians is proving
Itself superior to Its opponents. Tho
present action of the Russians in
strengthening their forces is due to
their realization of what an encircling
of their flank in Gallcla would sig-
niry.

the estimate of Mr. Lane coal can be

Describing- the Susitna valley Mr.
Lane said:
"It is 150 miles long and 60 miles
wide. The land is rich and productive.
This summer wild grass, eight feet
high, was cut lor hay. The bottom
lands are covered with cottonwood
timber and there is also a email
spruce' which grows to the diameter
of ene- foot.
At the "head of the valley is the
Broad pass mining district which was
discovered last summer. During the
past season 100 homesteaders -located
in the district, most of them settling
in the Matanuska valley which opens

Shippers Conceal Contraband.
President Wilson told callers at the
Whits House that the government had
' been greatly embarrassed because
some shippers t had concealed contra.
band under cargoes of apparently non
contraband goods.
Diplomats representing the allied
, European powers, here refused to be
quoted, but several expressed surprise
! at America's actlon-ln bringing up the
matter in diplomatic exchanges while
i the shipping question was still in the
r prise courts. ,
President Wilson announced that
. America was alone in its protest, but
it was reported on good authority that
"Jswrway, Sweden and Denmark were
sympathetic, if not actually support
Zing the American government's stand.
It was understood that these coun
tries had urged the United States or
some other country to protest to Eng
', land. The president declared, however,
. that this country's protest was not In

It was learned from a high state de

"Owing to the long summer days the
growing season is practically as long
as that of Montana. All root crops do
exceptionally well. ' '
"The Matanuska coal fields lie 40
miles away from the proposed trunk
line, to which ' they will be connected
by a branch line. The westerly end
of the fields is 25 miles from tide
water at Knik arm. The fields have
been traced for 50 or 60 miles along
the Matanuska valley. They cover an
area of 75 square miles. The coal
seams are from 3 to 30 feet in thick
ness." Some Capital Hecessary.
Referring to business opportunities
of the region, Mr. Lane made the quali
fication that some capital would be
necessary, that it was not altogether
a poor man's country. In the line of
transportation openings he said:.
"If a boat were put on the Susitna
river between Susitna station and the
mouth of Indian river the business of
the Broad Pass mining -district could
be secured. Prospectors are now pay
ing 30 cents a pound for the trans
portation of supplies. A boat could
make a good profit at 4 cents per
pound. . The only boat that could be
used, though, would be one of light
hips of copper destined to Italy and ! Yukon river. Adjacent districts will draught, say 18 inches, and high power,

as the river is shallow and swift.
"A boat with a capacity of 10 tons
would require a 70 horsepower engine.
It would have to be gasoline power.
"There is also an opening for a store
at Indian river to be operated in con
junction with a steamboat line.
"If the Broad Pass mines prove to be
of value there will probably be large
smelters erected at' the mouth -of the
Matanuska river, where a large town
will grow up;
"There Is certainly a large field in
Alaska which can be profitably culti
vated by Portland capital and there is
no good reason why Portland should
not benefit from its development."

opportunity Is given to all to contribute.
Sentiment against the proposed pur
chase of the Gatton property by the
city for cemetery purposes is on the
increase among St Johns residents.
The land in question consists of ap- i
proximately five acres, a part of a j
tract of 13.55 acres of the William !
Gatton donation land claim three
fourths of a mile north of the city.
The tract is assessed at $450. or about
$33.33 per acre, but the proposed sale
to the city is a.t the price of $1600
per acre.
Opposition to the proposed purchase
cropped out at last night's city coun
cil meeting at St. Johns when C. J.
Anderson Is said to have objected to
"paying 10 times the value of the
property." S. C. Cook, In a communi
cation to the council last night, called
attention to the fact that there is no
legally laid out road within three
quarters of a mile of the proposed
cemetery site. The matter was re
ferred to City Engineer J. O. Burson
for investigation.
A prominent resident of Ward 2, the
nearer of the two city wards to the
proposed cemetery site, pointed to the
fact that the two council men to vote
against the recent motion providing
that the Gatton tract be purchased
were the two councilmen from Ward 2,
George W. Munson and Charles R.
Chadwick.
Those opposed to the purchase say
it is not too late to make a determined
fight against it. A motion that the
tract be purchased has been passed,
but the survey now being made by the
city engineer has not yet been com
pleted. The drawing of the contract
for the purchase and pie passing of an
ordinance providing that the contract
be signed are two final steps which
have not yet been taken.

Shipment of Foodstuffs.
It was said thiB view will prevail
especially in tho case of shipment
of meat or other foodstuffs.
England was divided today Int.'
two factions concerning the protest.
Officialdom accepted it in a friendly
spirit, but much unofficial comment
was heard to the etfect that it did
not come from Washington in a
friendly way. but was Inspired by
German influences at; the American
capital.
Even In official circles ;here wa-
an inclination to contest the claim
that America's foreign trade had been
seriously Interfered with. At any
rate, it was asserted, j United States
exportatlons of foodstuffs and copper
have increased 300 per cent since the
war began.
Must Starv Out' Germans.
Nevertheless, it was the general
opinion that all differences between
the two countries would be settled
amicably.
The English' newspapers insisted.
however, that the British must starve
tne Germans out, and that there must
be no relaxation in the allies' efforts
to prevent absolute . or conditional
contraband from reaching them.
English newspapers commented at
length on the situation today.

Pall Mall Gazette, "that America has
