;y-two members of the crew were tak
en prisoners, two lost their lives while

Proclamation
Issued by One
Set of Germans
BERLIN, August 31.—A proclama
tion containing views on peace condi
tions which might be imposed by Ger
many, is published today by the “In
dependent committee for German
peace.” This organization was form
ed some time ago by those considered
to be the extreme war advocates in
Germany.
The document published today, ap-;
parently has the official approval, as
serts that the Russian territory from
the Baltic to the Volhynia must in the
future be included in the German
sphere to serve as a bulwark against
“Russian tendency to annihilate Ger
many.”
Regarding the French territory this
proclamation says: “France’s revenge
idea must be constantly kept in mind
so that in the west changes must also
be made and these are absolutely ne
cessary.
“Belgium, in the future, will be ei
ther a German or an English bulwark
so real guarantees are also needed.”
The proclamation concludes with
the following statement:
“The English plan threatens us with
political and economical helotry.
“It aims at our life as a people and
as a state.
“It! aims at our culture and institu
tions. Energy must be applied re
gardless of consequence to force
peace upon this enemy.
“Let it not come true that as Eng
land says we will all battles but Eng
land will win the war.
“With General von Hindenhurg let
us say, it is not only a question of
sticking it out, but of winning.”

Quotes Bible
to Secure Aid
for Alaskans
WASHINGTON, Aug, 31.—
-“But if any provide not
for those of his own house,
he hath denied the Faith and
is more than an infidel.”
With the above Biblical quotation
as his text, Senator Wesley L. Jones,
of the state of Washington, urged the
senate this afternoon to adopt an am
endment to the revenue bill for the
preservation of the Alaska fishing in
dustry to the United States. This re
lates to the requirement of bonded
fish from foreign ports.
After again quoting from the Bible
Senator Jones said:
“Great Britain acts of the Biblical
suggestion. She promotes her first
interests for her own people at all
times.”
Democrats of the senate finance
committee today, yielding to protests
from all parts of the country, struck,
out the emergency revenue bill the
proposed stamp tax of one-half a cent
on each dollar of premium on all pol
icies including life insurance.

ments placed since the first of this
month have averaj J d about ">,000,000
pounds daily. At this rate the first
week of October might witness the
announcement that there is no more
