down today has ordered the Alaska
Fisheries Company to remove their |
fishtraps from the waters at Aunetts !
Island an Indian Reservation in j
South Eastern Alaska. Suit had been

an Indian Reservation an Aunetts

not included. The company carried
the fight thru all the lower courts
being finally defeated in the U. S. Su

cluded the waters surrounding the
Island. The company was odered to
remove their fishtraps immediately.

DECLARE MARTIAL
LAW IN BERLIN

reinforcement of Prussian guard regi
ments supplementing the police force
of Berlin, Regent Ebert is reported
to be taking strong measures against
the extreme radicals, led by “Sparta
cus.”
Doubt is expressed here whether
even with the help of loyal soldiers

with success.

store order. Much blood has been
shed during the frequent clashes be
tween the radicals and the soldiers
and police.
PARIS. Dec 10—Correspondents
of Parisian journals state that mar
tial law has been declared in Berlin.
Karl Liekknecht, leader of the ex
tremist or so-called Bolshevik! party
in a proclamation issued by him de
mands the overthrow of the Ebert I
government if no peace is concluded
inside of fifteen days with the Allies.
Should Ebert comply with the de
inancls of the Radicals, force will be
used thruout Germany in either dis
placing Ebert and his cabinet or forc
ing a change n the policies pursued
by the Socialist government.
Whether Ebert will be strong:
enough to retain the direction of po
litical affairs in Germany, or whether
Liebknecht and the radical element,
will emerge victorious from this con
flict is a matter of much speculation.
