INHOKO DISTRICT IS
STRONG FOR SULZER
..FAIRBANKS, Nov. 17.—The*In
noko district including the precincts
of Takotna, Cripple, Tolstoi and
Ophir, in which Wickersham figured
on getting a plurality of fifty, dis
appointed his followers when the to
tal returns arrived. The four pre
cincts were received last night, and
showed Sulzer 86, Wickersham 78.
The tabulation now per division
is as follows: —
Division
First
Second
Third
Fourth
Sulzer. Wick.
2409 1891
589 762
1597 1814
1592 1572
Total 6187 6039
This gives a plurality known for
Sulzer of one hundred and forty
eight. The Kuskokwim has yet to
be heard from, but is admitted to
be favorable to Sulzer. The Koyukuk
with about one hundred and twenty
five votes has also to come in and
that district is very., doubtful.
In addition to the above, it is
quite evident that the election la
still somewhat undecided as Mar
shal and Dime have yet to be heard
from locally. The Industrial Worker
computes the Haycock vote at about
80 and Fortuna Ledge about twice
that number. Haycock and Fortuna
Ledge may give Sulzer a sufficient
number to make his election sure.
Wickersham has to get almost all
the votes to come in to swing the
result from the region of doubt a
clear impossibility.

WILSON ISSUES HIS
USUAL PROCLAMATION
WASHINGTON, D. C.« Nov. 17.—
Today President Wilson issued his
Thanksgiving proclamation pro
claiming Thursday, November 30, a
day for national gratitude.
Wilson again turns to the war
situation and comments upon the
need for the people of America
thanking God that they have not
similar conditions prevailing in the
United States.
He also urges a deep sympathy
ind reasonable aid for the stricken
peoples on whom the curse and ter
ror of the wa,r have fallen.
Wilson says that the people
should be humbly grateful that so
far the blessings of peace have been
the lot of this nation.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 17.—
The Thankgiving proclamation of
President Wilson is very well re
ceived as a masterly literary effort
and like all the public documents ol
which Wilson is the author likely
to attain more than the ephemeral
fame attends such proclamations.
Wilson is clearly disturbed by the
failure of the republicans to admit
his election, and the care with which
belated returns are scanned indi
cates that his opponents have some
plan in view which may challenge
his victory.

PETROGRAD, Nov. 17.—The Rus
sian Minister for Foreign Affairs has
notified the Russian ministers at all
the Allied capitals that Russia po
sitively will not make any separate

success of negotiations along this
line, have all of them been started
by Germany in order to breed a lack

BERLIN, Nov. 17.—Austria and
Germany have agreed upon the ap
pointment of a Vice Regent for Po
land until such time as a King is
elected. This will be done as soon
as the affairs of the Kingdom are
"in shape to permit the regal con

-LONDON, Nov. 17.—There is hard
ly any doubt that ftie Polish policy
of the Germans has alienated all
chance the Germanist court party iu
Russia might have had of bringing
about a sentiment for a separate
peace. That is no longer possible.
German writers themselves say that
this political policy is however not
settled, and there has been no king
appointed as yet. They are dangling
their bait too late before the Empire
of Russia, asserts the Globe.
CALIFORNIA VOTE IS
WILSON BEYOND DOUBT
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17.—The
chance that republicans have of
getting different results from the
re-count of this state are very slim,
and therefore their Continued delay
in admitting defeat is not under
stood even by the members of their
own party here.
A summary of the official count
shows that the Hughes gain in the
San Diego county was ninety and
the Wilson in Sacramento county
sixty. The probable Wilson plural
ity is now not less than thirty-seven
hundred.

RUMANIAN BORDER
BERLIN, Nov. 17.—Von Falken
hayn carried a mountain height on
the Moldavian frontier east of Ked
zivaasarsely, penetrated the Ruman
ian positions in the ticlnity of Pre
dial, and scored an advance south
of Rosenthurm Pass.
BERLIN, Nov. 17.—The fighting
is heavy at Constanza where the re
inforced Rumanians have been fight
ing strongly. The Germans how
ever have very successfully resisted
all attacks in this section.
I
BERLIN, Nov. 17.—Sofia says
that the Serbs and French continue
to press closer to Mtfnastir. A
strong force of Teuton troops have
been asked for and have been sent
to reinforce the Bulgars against
their foes in that section.
BERLIN, Nov. 17.—The General
advance throughout Transylvania
points to the success of von Falken
hayn’s original plan of campaign
against Rumania.
The Rumanians have failed com
pletely to prevent the determined
offensive of the German leader cutt
ing its way through the mountains
in fearful weather. Heavy snow
storms are prevailing in the higher
regions, but these have not affected
the health or the spirit of the Aus
trian and German troops which are
fighting with great brilliancy.
The Kaiser congratulated Falken*
hayn on his brilliant success today.

ians continue to retire before tho

were also driven back, being forced
westward on the Flers road.
LONDON, Nov. 17.—General Haig
reports that the Germans have been
receiving great reinforcements which
have been thrown before the path of
the advancing British. The Germans
organized several counters during
the past twenty-four hours but
these made no headway, although
they greatly delay the British ad
vance.
The fighting is most serious in
front of Beaucourt where the Brit
ish hold all the former German po
sitions.
PARIS, Nov. 17.—The German at
tacks upon the French positions at
Sullly all subsided this morning, the
French advancing half a mile while
the German troops were attempting
counters further north.
German forces are insufficient to
initiate independent counters and
only the unusually brilliant system of
rail distribution enables them now
to defend the extensive Tront.
This afternoon the British artille
ry began a wholesale bombardment
of the entire line, using freely the
heaviest and the lightest guns. The
artillery fire is immense.
WILL HAVE NONE OF
PROPOSED COMPULSION
BALTIMORE, Nov. 17^—The Am
erican Federation of Labor has re
jected the provision of Wilson’s le
gislative program "making illegal
any railroad strike or lock-out prior
to an investigation of the merits of
the case”. The legislative committee
recommended that the convention
take an unequivocal position againe*
any compulsory institutions being
established in the United States, and
denouncing positively any effort to
introduce compulsory arbitration.
The committee further urges that
the convention favor the mainten
ance of all opportunities for strikes
and strike settlement action, and
complete freedom from arbitary ef
forts to enforce compulsory service.
Referring to the bill introduced in
Congress for that purpose, the re
port of the committee reads that
‘it is an effort to again subject the

The iftdian general does not think
that the Austrians contemplate any
offensive but they have been clearly
alarmed by the recent Italian gains
when at the beginning of the month
they made such notable headway.
The reinforcements are probablj
due to the call sent out for them
when Trieste was. supposed to be
menaced.

FAVORING THE GERMANS

Teutons. It is stated that the Rue*
sians are withstanding all attacks.
