PARIS,—The Crown of Finland
las been offered to Duke Freder
ick of Macklenburg-Schwerin.
The Crown was immediately ac
cepted by the Grand Duke.
It is stated in Swedish dispatches
that Germany issued an ultimatum
to Finland demanding that a re
public be not established in the new
government but that a monarchy be
the regular order of government.
The matter has been under con
sideration of the White Guard gov
ernment which has been so power
ful under German dominance and
the offer now mad:» and accepted
fs the result.
LONDON,—The railroads of
Ukrania including all entering Kiev
have been tied up by a strike which
is spreading. Great grain trains en
route to Germany and Austria have
been held up_ and in many cases
destroyed.
The railroads are sr.id to be op
erated by employes a unit in favor
of the Bolshevlki sentiment and
hence in favor of the revolutionists.
Accounts coming in today show that
the strike is spreading and that
thruout the state of Ukrania not
a train is moving except those which
German soldiers have been com
mandeered to operate.
This strike is regarded as the most
serious step taken by the Bolsheviki
to force the Ukrania government
out of power and to wean it from
the German influence that now
dominates it so completely.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—The Ital

find a complete agreement has been
reached in a most amicable manner
between the two governments. The
settlement is the cause of extreme
satisfaction to the Allied circles
because of tha grave difficulties that
attended any final disposition of
the questions at issue.

LONDON,—Lloyd George told the
munition strikers that they would

long complaint!, that out of their
labor in these plants where owned by
private interests, tile owners have
been guilty of the grossest profit
eering while their wages were in
adequate. Primarily it is against the
new man power regulations, ac
cepted by all the other unions, that
tho strike started.

bourgoise government forces of

G.O.P. LEADER DIS’T ATT’Y
To put it mildly it was a sensa
tion for the town when the an
nouncement was made that G. J.
Lomen was appointed United States
District Attorney. Mr Iibmen is
Mayor, chairman of the local regis

republicans in this section. In ad

Mining Co, or was, and took a
leading part on the side of the op
erators against organized labor in
its efforts to enforce the eight hour
day.
The appointment created a pro
found sensation thruout the city and
at once everybody was agog as a
reason for the same. It was very
unpopular as an appointment goes,

FOUND—On Br.rrack Square, Silver
sleeve button . This office.
Mr and Mrs Eidic and family
who have been teaching at the
Diomedes Islands for the past three
years are now in Nome, enroute
to the Outside. Mr Eidie does not
consider those three years spent
among the natives of the Diomedes
as three years well spent for the
aborigines in that section seem of the
unregenerate type to whom ways
that are dark and tricks that are
vain come naturally enough. To be
gin with the native son understands
the fact that when an inexperienced
missionary or teacher arrives the
inexperienced one is much more
easily bamboozled out of grub than
one who understands tile natives J
■■ltd'!
not loud but deep. Yet it is regard
ed by politieians as an extremely
prudent move. Mr James Wicker
sham is soon to arrive as the local
machine democrats had expected to
get it good and plenty from the
delegate from Alaska when he spoke
on his visit here. Now Judge bomen
has had the honor of being invited
a year or so ago to take charge of
the Wickersham interests in this
section and hence the Holzehcimer
appointment is by some regarded. a3
calculated to temper the winds of
Wick’s storming to the shorn lambs
of democratic imbecility of which so
many recent examples abound. The
theory that the appointment is to
get even with a certain element in
opposition is too nebulous to enter
with whom ho comos in contact.
Hence they want a new missionary
every year, and they have been
grossly insulted that one should stay
over not one or two but three years
ns did Mr Eidie. That 3eemed like
cheating them out of their birth
right of grub to wheedle from a
sympathetic and an easy mark of a
teacher. They tried, in every way
to make things unpleasant for Mr
Eidie altho warned lest year by Mr
Shields. This season past they were
especially unpleasant and oven
threat'ning; so that wrhen the supply
of food gave out the teacher could
not get any from them even for his
baby. They refused to take him to
the Cape but with his own launch
and a tow he managed to cross to
Wales in time to catch the Silver
Wave. They are in a bad way all
over for native food. They have no
oil, they had no catch of whale
walrus or seal owing to the ice con
'ditions and the only refuge for the
natives and the only device to im
prove the conditions altogether and
get them out of the rut they live
in, tubercular and disease and suf
fering, is to remove them to the
main land or St Law cnee Island.
As it is they do not want to go.
They told their teacher that they
awned the island and did not want
interference from him or the gov
ernment.

tain just now. It’s funny to observe
machine democrats, unterrified op
ponents of Wickersham and the rest
defenders of the democratic faith
and so forth, turn to one who has al
ways been the leading exponent of
republican heresy in an orthodox
democratic community and make
him recipient of the honor, especially
when such likely lawyers of unde
niable democracy as Judge Adams
and Judge Frawley were available.
Allah illah Allah.
The vacancy to which Mr Lomen
was elevated was created by the
resignation last week of Mr Mundy
who objects to the methods of the
federal investigator Mr Smiser. Yes
terday Mr Mundy’s resignation was
accepted and a good republican shov
ed into his place. Before retiring
My Mundy issued the following
statement to the press:
“Last winter I was compelled to
bring to the attention of the Attor
ney General the actions and con
duct of the District Judge and his
satellites. The Attorney General
sent hero as an investigator United
States Attorney Smiser who had ap
pointed Holheimer his assistant at
Ketchikan and who Holzheimor, Mm.
Maloney and others advised me was
one of the Alaska Democrat machine.
Since Smiscr’s arrival here he has
been with Hoizhcimer at his house
office and elsewhere almost constan
ly. He never came near me until
I regucsted an interview and .hen he
told me In the hearing of my clerk
the people of Nome were with
Holzheimer; that those against him
were Wickershamites; that the voie
here proved it; he also denied hav
ingl secured transcript of Rogers
case from Holzheimer until 1 told
him I could prove it, the ho offered
to show it to me, and as expected
I found it differed materially from
that of my slerk. Under the cir
cumstances, this investigation is such
that I have refused to have any
thing further to do with it and
therefore resigned. I thank the
people of Nome for the support
they hve given me in my fight ou
pro-Germanism, and hope the Loyal
Legion and others will continue to
fight, as the conditions here are
enough to make the blood cf every
patriotic American citizen boil. I
shall offer my services to the Allies
and do my bit in the groat cause.
Nome Alaska, July 26, 1918.
George B. Mundy”
