The Nome Athletic Club and their
invited guests enjoyed one of the
most successful party-dances of the
winter season last evening, in the
Nevada Hall..
The occasion was the disbanding
of the organization temporarily, or
until next winter probably.. Mem

into to provide enjoyment for the
merry throng
Earlier in the evening they were
in attendance at a dinner party giv

which they followed with a dance
Members are steadily returning to
work in the section surrounding
Nome, and it was reported that for
this reason, it would be too difficult
to keep their organization together,
with the majority working out of
Nome while others would be engag
ed in work in town which would
probably prevent them from coop
erating. Their organization has
been a distinct adjunct to the social
and athletic life of Nome this win

be looked forward to next winter

GERMANY UFFSTHE
PROTESTS OF FRANCE
AND ITALY ON DISPUTE
(By The Associated Press)
UNDATED, March 21 — Determined to override all
opposition in its march to full 're-armament the German
government flatly declined to consider French and Italian
protests against its abrogation of the Versailles Treaty
military clauses.
The French and Italian ambassadors, after paying
separate visits to the Reisch foreign office, were told by Hit
ler, that he would pay no attention to them. This was in
terpreted in official circles as a further warning that Ger
many already feels so strongly confident of her military
power that the paper protests of her violation of the treaty
are useless.
France meanwhile pronounced Germany’s position as
a political threat to international peace, and asked the Lea
gue Council to make an immediate examination of the Ger
man situation.
In an extraordinary meeting, London regarded Ger
many’s rejection of the French and Italian protest as an un
expected jolt which may cause another crisis.
In foreign quarters in Moscow it is said it is believed
that the full support of the Soviets will be given the French
in raising the German armament question in the League.
Germany was informed that Italy “cannot accept the
situation and determined on a unilateral decision annulling
obligations of international character.”
Geneva felt that the League faces the gravest crisis of
its history. It is believed that a meeting will be held early
in April.
Austria took another step toward military prepared
ness, fighting the strengthening of the laws governing the
commandeering of private vehicles and civilian skill for
military purposes during peace time.

Deportation Fares
British Deserter
Alaska was the “Golden North,"
and the “Land of Adventure, Opp
ortunity and Plenty” to William
Denny Jones when he was a sea
man aboard the British warship
Danae less than a year ago.
Today it is just another country
ae “saw through a porthole."
The attraction and lure of Alaska
:empted Jones last summer when
pis ship, a cruiser unit of England's
West Indies fleet, paid a call at Jun
?au. He jumped ship, deserted.
From then on until last month he
lived in the capital city, quietly pur
suing his livlihood as a laborer.
The case came to the attention of
ocal immigration and naturalization
leadquarlers and R F Wyatt, inspect
>r detailed to immigration, went
north to look for him. He was
bund without difficulty, Wyatt ex
plains largely because of a “lime
pouse” accent.
As a result, Jones was a passen
ger on tjne last southbound trip of
he Northwestern, bound for Seat
:le where it is expected that his pass
age will be arranged back to Eng
land as a seaman on some merchant
ship. Such arrangements failing he
will get a free passage as If deport
ation case.
SAYS STRIKERS HAVE
NO RIGHT TO STRIKE
IN PRESENT DISPUTE
(By The Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO. March 21 — While the tanker
strike continued on the Pacific* Coast with more than thirty
vessels tied up, Judge M. C. Sloss, Pacific Coast arbitrator
of waterfront labor problems ruled that the workers in the
dispute with the employers were not privileged to leave
their jobs, pending a settlement of the issues in controversy.
Judge Sloss ruled "It is the duty of both the employer
i he employee to see that the work is continued while the mat
ter is under dispute and being settled, under the provisions
of the agreement provided by the national longshoremen's
board, of last October."
The judge points out that each port has an employer
and employee labor relations board to take up such matters
and can appoint an arbitrator, to act if the board cannot
reach a decision.
The employers have complained that the tanker seamen
have called the strike without any notification or attempt at
arbitration.

on the Tallahatchie River levee
which had been blasted with dyna

were then given riot machine guns
and told to shoot to kill in the event
