WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 13.—
Alaskans who are in the capital say
that Nome is playing in a great
streak of luck as far as legislative
and administrative favors are con
cerned. There is every prospect
that the Nome-Candle road will be
placed upon the map in the near
future because high officials in the
War Department have approved the
plans of the Alaska Road Commis
sion to make a preliminary recon

Dr. D. S. Neuman received word
that Captain Amundsen who is now
planning his north polar expedition
has engaged Captain Bartlett for his
service. The expedition will start
from San Francisco in 1918 and will
endeavor to locate the Pole which
has been already discovered by
Peary and alleged to have been
found by Dr. Cock. Bartlett is now
in command of one of the Pacific
Steamship Co’s boats but will doubt

sudden realization of the roads ne
cessity is not unconnected with the
rapid construction of the Siberian
coast railway which has been sur

quarters familiar with the workings
of these official departments.
WASHINGTON,
Feb. 13.—The
first prohibition measure introduced
by Wickersham sought to turn the
Alaska fund entirely into the Terri
torial treasury but this move was
blocked. Instead the clause was
stricken out of the measure which
was fathered by Senator Jones and
which finally passed Congress after
slight resistance.

PRESIDENT QUITS GOLF
TO ATTEND HIS CABINET
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Feb. 13.— j
The usual index to an involved in- j
ternational situation was seen today
when President Wilson abandoned
his daily golf to attend a very im
portant cabinet conference follow
ing advices from Germany through
the Swiss Minister. These are secret
but admittedly serious. All kinds
of reports have sprung up like
mushrooms around the administra
tion buildings since the cabinet
conference was held. It is known
that Germany will proceed now to
the limit in enforcing its diver cam
paign policy and it would be hard
in any event to exaggerate the grav
ity of the crisis.
GERMANY IS NOW AFTER
TRADES UNIONIST OFFICIALS
BERNE Eeb, 12 —German re
fugees declare that Germany is now
recruiting all the leading officers
and officials of the Trade TTnlons
and Socialists. There who have
hitherto been employed in industrial
p’nnts and other places are being
sent to the front for active service
Americans say that the action has I
l.eeii iaken since the compulsory
abor bill was passed and this gave
the government an opportunity ot
replacing the men who are being
sent to the front. Xo notable social
ist, especially writers or trade
unionist leaders, are being over
looked in this energetic policy.
