HOLLWEG SAYS WOULD
NOT BE ADVISABLE
BERLIN, May 16.—In the Reichs
tag today, von Bethman Hollweg
pulled oil his promised statement
regarding peace.
Contrary to the original inten
tion it was no peace statement at
all. He said that upon a review
of the situation, carefully given
upon the- repeated requests of the
leaders of the social democrats, he
had decided that the interests of
MAIL PROBABLE TODAY.
That the mail will arrive today is
the belief of the local postal offi

ol' no one if it took a little bit
longer.
After this mail, two more are due
to arrive.

will be shown tonight. This closing
closing episode is unrivalled in
sensational thrills. The Theme:
David Powers, lumber king, treats
his employees as inconsiderable de
tails of liis business, to be replacel
without question at liis pleasure. He
is backed in his patrician contempt
for labor by his legal adviser, Perry
Travis. Both Powers and Travis
love Power’s daughter Laura with
a love that amounts fairly to wor
ship. Laura has promised to marry
Travis. Conditions become unbear
able in Power’s plant and his work
ers decide to strike. Laura’s pleas
for the workmen are of no avail.
A Ham and Bud Cemedy ends the

but a good one.

LULL PREVAILS UPON
THE WESTERN LINES NOW
lull IN FIGHTING sr slird slrnlr
LONDON, May 15.—Reports from
the west indicate that there is a
continued lull throughout this fore
noon in the infantry fighting on the
west. The artillery fire on the other
hand has never slackened and the
commander says that it is possible
any moment may percipitate an at
tack by “either side”.
Owing to hazy weather today and
a strong mist, it was somewhat
difficult for airmen to carry out
any reconnoitering.
BERLIN, May 15.—Uunfavorable
weather for extensive field opera
tions prevail on the west front to
day. For this reason the infantry
attacks were not ordered. Airmen
report that the British are feverish
ly strengthening their positions
before facing an attack.

The main article deals with the fate
of the conquered territory which
must “be decided upon the basis of
the military situation, emphasis be
ing given to German interests”. The
“•eroberungspolitik (Annexation po
licy) is not to discourage this em
phasis. The freedom of the seas, a
strong colonial empire and "a war
indemnity commensurate with our
sacrifices must be sought”.
These radical demands are i j
censing the socialists who are ex
treme pacificists but it is under
stood they have the assent of Or
Sudehim and other social-democrats
leaders in compromised support of
the government.

if the same steadiness in attack
which dissipated itself against the

French last year is used against the

LOCAL. ITEMS.
There’s a question of 'nterest
now being discussed as to whelln r
or not many men will come in from
the Outside on the opening of na
vigation. Letters which ha’e been
received from old timers int.n-.ite
that they are doing well out thine
that they have no intention of tak
ing chances in the Nome country
this summer. On the other hand
some here think that because ot
conscription many of military age
who have no desire to be drafted
will come up in larger numbers than
ever. This view is hardly likely
to be generally held, for even if one
did desire to escape military draft
ing, there is no place where such
a one would be so certain to be
nabbed up as in Alaska. While a
person might easily get mixed up
in the crowd outside or lose liimselt
in the hills, here in Alaska without
getting out of touch of all means ol
livelihood, there would be no poss
ibility to escape.
