North Mexico Turmoil
Stirs Border Cities
EL PASO , Sept. 18.—Northern
Mexico is again reported to be in
a state of turmoil. Four thousand
Monterey Carranzist troops have
been rushed to Chihuahua to aid in
crushing the Villatistas. Juarez
troops are held there but they are
very active keeping Villatist activ
ities well under control. There is
no probability of a pro-Villatist out
break for tha reason.
EL PASO, Sept. 18.—Three Car
ranzist officers, .deserters from the
army, arrived here today am? weie
admitted as refugees. They say
that Villa attacked the city **; two
columns and seized the penitentiary.
The Carranzists under Trevino ob
tained the upper hand at the peni
tentiary and marked their control
by shooting down thirty political
prisoners, the Villatist rebels tried
to rescue.
Fierce hand to hand fighting fol
lowed in the streets when the Car
ranzists finally brought up one of
the Villatist colmuns in a cul de sac
where they machine-gunned them
without mercy, two hundred being
killed in this fearful manner. Villa
finally evacuated the town when the
Carranzists hotly pursued.
It is believed that the raid’s de
feat is being magnified to impress
by this means the Mexican peace
commission.

SUBMARINE WAS NOT
LONG EXPECTED BREMEN
NEW LONDON. Conn.. Sept. 18.
-—Yesterday the arrival of the con
structor of the Deutschland, and the
evening report of a submarine being
some distance outside the neutrai
limit of waters approaching in this
direction, everyone was certain that
the Bremen was coming and local
German Americans had completed
arrangements for its reception in
that event. A wireless today how
ever shows that this was a United
States naval submarine which since
has arrived here.
LONDON. Sept. 18.—Raymond
Asquith, son of England’s Prime
Minister was killed in action yester
day before Thiepval. The British
losses in the great battle of Thiep
val will be very large. The battle
still rages.
BERLIN, Sept. 18.—The General
Staff reports that the Allies lost
eighty aeroplanes during August,
lue to the splendidly effective work
jf the invincible fokkers.
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—It is an
nounced that the British steamer
Kelvinia, a turbine engine boat was
torpedoed by the Germans on Sept.
2. There were thirty American pas
sengers on board. This occasions
some concern as it may> mean the
revival of the indiscriminate sub
marining that marked the earlier
stages of the war.
FIER6E RIOT CAUSED
HIGH PRICES VIENNA
VIENNA, Sept. 18.—For the past
several days, noisy and violent de
monstrations organised by the
anarchist and radical elements,
marked the protest of men and
women against the high prices ot
LOCAL ITEMS.
The City yesterday wired out for
m 75 horse power Western gas
engine for their pumping plant.
This is the latest type of engine in
the gas motor world and they also
telegraphed for a Byron-Jackson
pump which is guaranteed to pump
1000 galons a minute against a 125
pounds pressure. This system is
now in general use in very many
outside cities, so they feel confident
in Installing it in Nome. It is esti
mated that the plant will pay for
itself inside of two years. With the
La France engine always ready to
fall back on in case of emergency,
they feel quite safe as far as fire
protection is concerned.

The military aided the police in i
the suppression of these riots in i

part. i
BERNE, Sept. 18.—Arrivals from
Austria say that almost revolution
ary demonstrations marked the cul
mination of a week’s food rioting
in the Austrian capital before the
police and military restored order.
The rioters ransacked stores, looted
bakeries and meat houses and tore
down high class restaurants in their
renzy for food. The government
■harges that the leaders were anar
chists and socialists and that enemy
jovernments fomented them, as the
lituation is not serious as far as the
ood problem is concerned. The
fovernment is however taking steps
o prevent a recurrence.
BERNE, Sept. 18.—Reports are
)rought here of food riots in Prague

All Capitals Watching
Struggle For Thiepval
BERLIN, Sept. 18.—The General
Staff says that while the strong Ger
man position at Thiepval can be
held indefinitely by the German
forces, for the better defense of the
entire west lines, the German troops
may be withdrawn from there.
LONDON, Sept. IS.—Desperate
fighting is proceeding around Thiep
val where the apex of the western
drive of the British is now concen
trating.
Thiepval opens up the German
northern lines above the Ancre to
successful ataek and its defense has
been so devised by the Germans for
that reason. While the British are
closing down on the key to the lines
advance, the losses are heavy and
likely to be heavier.
PARIS, Sept. 18.—All eyes are
now turning to Thiepval where the
British are trying desperately to
take possession of this natural
stronghold. The importance ot
Thiepval to the forward thrust ot
the Allies is not concealed.
COPENHAGEN, Sept. 18.—It the
British take Thiepval, say the mili
tary critics, they wil hold a position
of far greater importance than
either Peronne and Combles. It is
the armored vulnerable point of the
German lines which accounts for the
particularly savage fighting which
is now proceeding. If the German
losses are 40,000, the British losses
must fully equal to that.

UNIONISTS CONFER WITH
MAYOR OF NEW YORK
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—A com-1
mittee of unionists conferred today
with the Mayor and asked for his
aid in settling the strike, desiring
they said to avoid involving the city
in any sort of an industrial warfare.
They also brought to Mayor
Mitchel’s attention the fact that the
police w'ere not acting impartially,
as they were always discriminating
against the unionist carmen on
strike. They had failed to make a
single arrest of any of the gangsters
which are employed by the traction
company as gun men. The Mayor
said that he would certainly see
that both sides were impartially
treated and that there would be no
discrimination. They also told the
mayor that in order to assist his
work of settlement they would gua
rantee that no further strikes would
be ordered before next Thursday.
Mayor Mitchel is now conferring
with the tractionist heads, although
it is said that the company is not
inclined to amek any concessions.
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Although
the city ordinaces strictly requiro
that car crews he experienced and
skillful, these are dead letter while
the tractionists employ scabs. To
day however there is a demand for
the enforcement of these laws as an
inexperienced crew caused a rear
end collision on the streets injuring
thirty passengers, one of whom will
die.
•Unionists told the Mayor they
were determined to strike unless a
settlement was elfected.
SLAVS AND RUMANIANS

lieve the Rumanian pressure.
iftlRLIN, Sept. 18.—The General
Staff admits that the Teutons and
AT THE DREAM TONIGHT.
The Badge Of Courage, a six reel
blue ribbon feature was shown to a
highly appreciative audience last
night. The big picture will be re
peated tonight. The production is
from the pen of the Rev. Cyrus
Townsend Brady and is one of the
most spectacular and thrilling pic
tures ever brought to Nome, or for
that matter that was ever shown in
the Territory, such distinguished
people as Roliin Sturgeon Commo
dore Stuart Blackton, promoter of
the famous Battle Cry of Peace and
many others, these men are spon
sers for the Chalice Of Courage. To
night the last run, dont miss It.
Bulgars have made no effort to cross
the Danube for the present. The re

ing the first objective.
PETROGRAD, Sept. 18.—Admitt
ing that both Rumanians and Rus
sians have retired in the Dobrutja
fighting, the Grand Headquarters ri
dicules the reports which the Ger
mans have put out of a glorious vic
tory. The reports are described
as vain glorious. Two towns of im
portance, one of them, only, forti
fied, several villages of no import
ance whatever, have been covered
by the Germans, Bulgarians and
Turks when the Russians and Ru
manians withdrew.
SOFIA, Sept. 18.—The Bulgarian
government has been notified by the
German leaders in Dobrudscha, that
one half the Bulgars now engaged

southern frontier against the En
tente forces.
FUNERAL DRAWS GREAT
CROWDS COLUMBIA CHURCH
COLUMBIA, S. C., Sept. 18.—The
funeral of Mrs. Howe, sister of Pre
sident Wilson, drew enormous
crowds to the local Presbyterian
church, hundreds being unable to
secure admission to the services, al
though it is anxiety to participate in
the same services with the president
«
rather than regret for the deceased
who was relatively little known,,
that caused the big rush.
The city is officially partaking liv
the obsequies and flags are general
ly at half mast throughout the city
especially on the municipal and gov
ernment buildings.
