DARLING & DEAN COMPANY
Speaking to some soldiers who
had been withdrawn froin the east
ern front and were being trans
ferred to the lsonzo front to help
out the Austrians on account of the
heavy pressure ct the Italians, the
Kaiser dwelt upon the need of sol
idarity among the Germans. Referr
ing to the George . tatement that
England would aid France in recov
ering Alsace and Lorraine and that
then would be no peace until these
were restored, the Kaiser declared
that Germany will not give up those
provinces unless France could take
, —.■■■■— . '
thorn.
These provinces asserted the
Kaiser were taken by conquest and
would never be relinquished unless
the Germans therein were eon
qu( red.

GREAT ANGLO
AIR DRIVE WEST
LONDON, Oct. 18.—Fighting of
another type took the place of the
infantry attacks upon the west
front, when the British and French
airmen, fighting in dense squadrons
attacked the enemy far over their
lines. Over thirty German planes
have been downed since Monday
and the success of the new tactic
is unqualified. The Allies pene
trated far into German territory,
attacking railroads and manufact
uring plants, flying low in some sec
tions and causing terrific cusualties
and damage.
PARIS, Oct. 18.—The War Min
ister's evening communique states
that the attempt of the Germans to
break through the French lines near
Besonvaux on the Verdun front

one German regiment being anihi
lated with shrapnel fire.
Cannonading is reported from
other sections of the Verdun front
an;' along the Aisne river sector.

IRISH QUESTION IS
LOOMING DARK NOW
LONDON, Oct. IS.— It is mani
fest that as on many another ser
ious occasion when it would he re
garded as a blessing if it did not
obtrude itself upon English states
men, the Irish question is to loom
large upon the present parliament.
The nationalist members are try
ing to cover up the fiasco called the
Irish convention which the Sein
Finn has been watching dwindle its
effectiveness to nothing, upon the
Ulster I nionists.
The nationalist charge is that
the unionists have deadlotkt i the
convention which has been in ses
sion since July and has done no
thing.
Redmond gave notice of a reso
lution calling attention to condi
tions in Ireland and this to tie de
bated upon Tuesday.
The Soin Finn, and the majority
of the Irish members themselves,
seem to believe that Redmond is
trying to shift the blame for the
convention’s failure to some other
shoulders than his own.
The fact that he and his party
are discredit ted by all classes iri
Ireland is the real reason wh> tho
convention has been fore doomed to
failure, according to tie majorat of
Irish opinion.
Some of the Irish papers an hit
ter against Kedmond and some havt
been suppressed for bitter'.> criti

All reports coming in indicate
that there will be an abundance ol
fox and mink this winter in various
sections of the Seward Peninsula,
Not in years have fox been so plen
tiful and this plenty is in market:
contrast to the lack of ptarmigan
ami the failure of the rabbits
Further another interesting fact it
connection with Arctic animal life
here is that field mice and ntolcs
were never so abundant Theit
mounds are literally to he seen
everywhere. As these furnish the
foxes with food, their plentiful
ness also means that the fox wll
ho fat and plentiful also. Old tim
ers explain the matter of tthe ex
cessive numbers of mice and mole:
as due to the fact that there havt
been no tundra fires, owing to tin
inclement weather preventing them
These fires usually are very de
structivo of field life and helped t(
overcome the normal fecundity o
these animals.
