GERMANY TO CONTROL
RIG OELGIN CITY
NEW YORK, Dec. ’3-14.—The
fabled advices receive ! :':om Am

Germany desires to retain con
trol of Antwerp not permanently
hut indefinitev in order to.continue
military control in case of any break
down of the advanced negotiations.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Dec. 13-14
—Not one of the Teuton diplomats
at the capital would comment upor
the sensational report that German!
has a joker in her plan to restore
Belgium to the Belgian king undei
peace terms. They refused three
different news gathering associations
to make any statement on the peace
note at all, but especially as to the
retention of Belgium.
Count von Bernstorff told press
reporters that he had not received £
copy of the note issued by the
Chancellor although doubtless he
soon would. He reminded them
that the note was delivered to the
representatives of Spain, Switzerland
and the United States with the re
quest that it be brought by them
before the representative^ of the
warring nations in those countries
where the ambassadors named re
presented Germany. This, he said
had been done.

inconsequential nature.

OFFICIAL AUSTRIAN
NOTE STATES CASE
LONDON, Dec. 13-14.—The offi
cial Austrian statement on peacf
says that the patience of Austria was
exhausted in 1914 after a series ol
systematically continued and evei
increasing provocations against its
good will and national integrity, be
ing forced into war after fifty years
of unbroken peace, to defend its ex
istence and to safeguard its future.
LONDON, Dec. 13-14. —The for
eign offices of the Entente will with
out doubt ignore the peace note un
til the terips are specifically stated.
The British press with articles
and cartoons ridicules in a riot ot
sarcastic phrase and lampoon the
peace proposals.
The Daily News, usually one of
the most lethargic of British papers
declares somewhat heavily that now
when the Germans have obtained
the maximum of plunder and Lloyd
George the avenger is about to In
flict punishment, they want peace.
The News further declares that the
Chancellor's announcement which
attempts to make the Allies respon
sible "before God and the nations”
for a continuance of the war, is a
pitiful blashpliemy.
PARIS, Dec. 13-14.—The papers
unanimously insist that there is no
1 proper ground work for any peace
negotiations. The German proposals
i are described as nebulous.
STARRING HINDUS CLAUSE
PASSES THE SENATORS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 13-14.
—A most interesting amendment to
the immigration bill passed the Sen
ate today when the Commission’s
amendment carried by a vote ot
forty-two to 14.
Cleary all did not vote.
A lively tilt interested the house
when Senator Phelan and Senator
Lodge locked horns for and
against respectively.
The amendment mentions only
Hindus but says “and other Asiatics'
which obviously is including all the
Mongolian races as well.
Phelan replying to bitter strictures
upon the part of Lodge said that it
was a gentleman’s agreement. Cer
tain Japanese busy bodies were in
terfering with the government cen
tered at Tokio, and had begun to
construe the United States govern
ment as located there also.
The amendment will probably be j
the subject of an interchange ot
notes between Washington and
other Asiatic governments in any
event.
That Lansing will have his hands
full for some time with the proposed
peace negotiations and the Asiatic
immigrant problems, there is no de
nying, and it is likely that consider
able friction may yet develop over
the diplomatic situation. Wilson is
likely to take the peace negotiations
entirely in his own hand.

Yesterday when a harnessed rein
deer tried to get up Front St. a dog
team broke from its mooring and
the deer looked good to the canines.
But the fleet footed beast ignored
the efforts of the native driver to
keep full speed ahead, and the ani
mal swung around in its course and
headed for Barrack Square whence
it rushed to the ice for safety while,
pedestrians corralled the dogs. The
deer was harnessed to the sled like
a horse, and ran nimbly and capably
with quite a load.

The ding-banged cable is still
down and in consequence any at
tempt ta send dispatches via the all
American route is accompanied by
delay. Should the cable remain on
the blink during the Xmas holi
days, there will be a congestion that
may take several weeks to clear. Al
ways telegraphic work increases
very, greatly about .Xmas holidays,
owing to this means being used for
exchanging wights at that time, and
these messages of course will retard
all regular work which will thus be
| further set back.
troops is confirmed in a qualified
manner by the Havas News Agency
from Athens.
This dispatch says that the King
has directed his ministers to prepare
for an immediate mobilization of
the entire Greek army.
The Pireus dispatch says that
the Entente has asked the King for
the reasons for this step.
There is no doubt that a break is
imminent with the Entente. The re
port that German troops have been
diverted from Rumania to the Mace
donian front indicates what direc
tion the Central Powers activities
will take.
ATHENS, Dec. 13.—The king is
not here. It is believed that he has
left for Larissa.
There is apparently no doubt that
the queen has gone to Austria as
already has been reported.
GENEVA, Dec. 12-13.—The Greeks
are hopelessly divided over the war
question. Powerful interests are still
backing Venizelos and the situation
is such that precludes any such
thing as united action. Evening dis
patches report general opposition to
mobilization as it is believed to be
merely a preliminary to entry into
the war.
TO IE SCRAMBLE FOR
POLITICAL JOBS ALASKA
SEATTLE, Dec. 14.—The signs
are not wanting here that there is
to be an unusual scramble for jobs
in Alaska and many aspirants for
honors are at present here getting
ready to camp in Washington or
other spheres of influences.
The complaint is heard that many
republicans who are also Wicker
shamites have been holding office in
the different divisions and the slo
gan is to clean out not only republi
cans but disloyal democrats. Charges
are being made ready for presenta
tion and the national committee
will be invoked in aid of the politi
cal house cleaning.
Safety first. You miners coming
in from the creeks look up the ad
vertisers in your paper before dis
posing of your patronage.
