JAPANESE ENLISTING IN
CANADIAN REGIMENTS
VANCOUVER, B. C.. Jan. Jl.—
One hundred and thirty Japanese
have enlisted in the Canadian army

to be some dispute as to whether
they will be finally accepted or not.
Those who enlisted were for the
most part unemployed Japs. Japan
ese businessmen Jiare persuaded
them to throw In their lot fighting
for the Allies.
It Is not Impossible that a good
many more Japanese may enlist if
industrial .conditions continue dull.

BIG DAMAGE ILL

JOLIET, Jan. 21.—The Fox river
Valley and other low lying sections
of Its tributary country are now
completely flooded. A January thaw
has melted the extra heavy snow
fall and evory river la a mass of
muddy water and Ice. Thousands
4 re h me leas in the Elgin and Joliet
8ectlo.is, railroads, In many cases
are under water, and the situation
is very serious.
CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—Reports from
various sections show that in Illinois
floods are quite general owing to a
January thaw. The danger Is very
great and the damage is very ser
ious. Farmhouses have been de
stroyed, barns swept away and
sotek a total loss. Reports show
that the floods are still rising and
the worst Is feared. The weather
buroau promises colder weather to
night and for this reason it is be
lieved that the high point of the
floods have been reached. Trains
are coming in delayed by the flood
ed condition of the tracks and many
have been completely stalled by
washouts. Some passenger trains
travelled for miles through water
with the tracks invislblo.

TWO FIRES OF MAGNITUDE
DAMAGE ALASKAN TOWNS
SEWARD, Alaska, Jan. 21.—Let*
last night a Are broke out on the
Seward dock in tho warehouse. The
dock was completely destroyed but
volunteers saved the contents of the
eastern warehouse. The burning oi
the western warehouse was Imposs
ible to prevent, but the lire flghtors
aided by the off-shore wind were
able to prevent the trestle leading
shoreward from being destroyed.
The loss will be considerable.
Contrary to reports which seam
somehow to have boen first sent out
on account of the direction of the
wind the town Itself was at no time
In danger.
VALDEZ, Jan. 31.—The Schmidt
grocery and the Marovlch restaurant
were totally destrpyod by Are this
morning, the lire starting in the
latter place.
For a time the people of Valdes
thought that they were in for an
other disaster such as that which
practically wiped the greater portion
of the town out last summor. But
hard fighting kept the flames undhr
control and the damage vil) not fc*
■o great.
Both the buildings which wen*
destroyed by fire now were also
burned down last summer In the Mg
conflagration. The explosion of u
oil store la said to be responslMs
for the fire.
That Valdes Is In dread of fire fs
seen from the fact that a good mahr
began to remove their goods evwn
from buildings far removed from
the flames.
