LONDON, March 1.—There is con
siderable difference of opinion as to
the real meaning of the German re
treat upon the Ancre positions.
It is believed by the British ex
perts that the German retirement is
a tactical retreat, a "strength sav
ing maneuver” which is peceding a
great German blow soon to be
struck. The military experts in the
evening papers lean to this view
with wonderful unanimity.
KILLED IN FIGHT.
COLLISTON, La., Feb. 28.—
Mayor H. M. Vaugh was killed in a
fight with bank robbers here today.
One bandit was wounded and was
taken prisoner, the others escaped
with ten thousand dollars loot.
HAVE STRONG GUARD.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 27.—
Workmen are engaged in putting up
strong and massive iron gates mark
ing the entrance to the White House
where heretofore the entrance to
the White House gardens was al
ways open. In addition it is stated
a strong guard will be placed on
duty to protect the President.
The measures taken are regarded
as of extreme significance and are
affording material for considerable
comment.
No particular reason is assigned
for the move which is being watched
with considerable interest.

LOCAL ITEMS.
The student body of the Nome
High School held their meeting
yesterday afternoon to discuss their
Fourth Annual dog race. It was
arranged to carry out the race and
if weather permits the same will be
held on March 24th. They hope to
make it as successful a race as any
held heretofore.
M’Carthy returned with Sturte
vant yesterday at one o’clock from
Solomon, the examination of the
Deisel engine on the Seward
dredge by expert Sturtevant reveal
ing the fact that the machine is in
fine shape. The trails were very
heavy on the trip up and down the
coast, but they made very good time.
Notwithstanding the soft weather
overflows are not quite so bad on
Solomon river as they had been led
to expect, and all the dredges are in
good shape and safe from any ice
dangers or from overflows.
