From the heights of Aisne, the German Crown Prince was being driven back re- llentlessly toward Loan. It was es- timated that the Allies had taken 12,000 prisoners in the drive, and ymany additional were slain or wounded. y Elmer A, Friend, for two years !October 16, said that he was re- maining in Seward to be editor and manager of the Seward Gateway. |Mrs. Friend and children, Phyllis and Bill, and Miss Jane McNally, Mrs. Friend's sister, were leaving on an ealy boat to join the news- papeman. Mr. Friend had been en- gaged in newspaper work in Seattle for many years before returning to Alaska in 1915. He had been em- ployed on all three Seattle new papers and immediately before coming to Juneau had been City and Telegraph Editor of the Seattle Star. In the early days he had been agent of the Alaska Steamship Company at Skagway. John Ptack and party who had been overdue in their return from a hunting party arrived in Juneau and reported that they had been stormbound in Oliver Inlet for three days. They had plenty of food and were comfortable, but their chief concern was that their friends and relatives would be worrying about them. M. S. Hudson was in Douglas from Nevada Creek on a business trip. Six hundred men from the Uni- versity of Washington had gone to war, according to estimates and campus activities, includine football, for the new college year were prac- tically without leaders.

According to astrology both men land women should exercise unusual caution. In the early morning women are \well directed in whatever pertains |to domestic affairs. It is a favor- able sway under which to pre- sent household problems to hus- bands or fathers. Under this rule there may be a ,decided interest in all forms of ro- mance and little judgment is like- Ily to be manifested. " To those who wield authority the Istars promise better conditions in ,business and government affairs, ibut they may expect unfair criti- cism. The people will be glad to |believe the worst about successful ymen and women. ! Warning is given that many scan- dals will be made public and that |they will touch the hizhest social and official representations. | This is a lucky date for signing |important documents. Under this rule of the stars there may be clear vision ments. Labor problems will be less dis- turbing than they have been, but they will still offer anxieties to the business world. = Commercial policies may be seriously affected. In the evening of this day elderly persons should safeguard health, for sudden illnesses are indicated Hearts and lungs may be suscepu- ble to critical maladies. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of un- certainties. Financial reports should be encouraging as friends increase in number. Children born on this day prob- ably will be temperamental, chang- eable, fond of adventure and cour- ageous. Subjects of this sign may be aggressive and self-sufficient.
