Men drafted from Alaska will not
be called cn for service in the United
States army until after the opening:
of navigation in the spring of 1918, |
in the opinion of Mayor J! G. Watts,:
. |
who believes -:t will be impossible to j
obtain returns of the draft enroll- j
ments from the isolated portions of i
this territory, send them to Wash- j
ington city and have the drawing'
made there in time for the- men to !
get outside before the freeze-up this!:
winter.
The Alaska draft, he asserts, was ;
not divided, but was held in all par is i
of the north at the same time. The
men to be drawn also will be taken as
a unit, and will not be divided. Thus 1
it is obvious that the men from the
open ports will not be drawn unless' :
all are taken, those from the closed;
ports and the interior as well. On! <
account of the great expense of bring- <
ing men over the trail from Fairbanks 1
and Nome, it is practically certain
the order to join the colors will not ]
become effective u^til spring.

MENT SHOWS NO CESSATION
OF SUBMARINE ACTIVITY.
ALL VESSELS ARE ENGLISH
Foil Levied by Teuton Underwater
Craft Is One of Heaviest Since In
auguration of Ruthless Method of
Marine Warfare.
LONDON, Sept. 20.—Grman sub
marine activity, in the week ending
ast Saturday, was conducted with
jnusual destructiveness, according to
he official report issued today by the
British admiralty.
In the period of seven days, eight
British ships, every one of which was
)f 1,600 tons or more, were sunk by
Berman underwater craft, and twen
:y British vessels, each of which
vas less than 1,600 tons were sent to
he bottom by the Teuton divers.
The British admiralty reports ev
;ry week the losses occasioned to
British and neutral shipping, but does
lot report on the losses suffered by
he shipping of any of the nations al
icd with it in the war. Neither
Vance nor the United States have yet
idopted the weekly report policy.
Vance makes delayed reports only
rregularlv. The United States re
ports losses immediately upon learn
ng of them.
Last week’s toll of twenty-eight
British ships is one of the heaviest
evied by the German divers since
he inauguration of the submarine
.varfare.
LONDON, Sept. 22.—Dispatches
Loday front Petrograd sources re
garded as absolutely trustworthy
oniirm reports received here a week
igo from the Russian capital saying
:hat Premier Kerensky, having quell
. d the revolt started by General Ivor
liloff, has assumed complete execu
tive control of the government with
he title of president. In a few days
te is expected to issue a proclamation
notifying Russia’s allies of his as
sumption to the presidency.
Kerensky is reported to hold un
lisputed sway at Petrograd. He is
leclared to have executed many of
he leaders in the recent revolt; but
vorniloff, it is said, is still alive, a
nrisoner of the government.
Most of the cabinet members ap
nointed by Kerensky in his position
is premier at the beginning of the
■evolt have been retained by him as
resident. He has chosen no premier,
rvidently intending to merge the pi'e
niership with the presidency.
M. Terestschenko has been retain
'd as minister of foreign affairs; Gen

RELIEF OF OFFICIALS THERE .
COUNT LUXBURG, WHO VIOLATED SOUTHERN RE
PUBLIC’S NEUTRALITY, LEAVES BUENOS AIRES
AFTER POLICE HAD TO KEEP HIM IN SECLUSION
FOR WEEK TO SAVE HIM FROM VIOLENCE BY POPU
LACE.
BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 22.—Count Luxburg, the Ger
man charge to whom passports were issued by Argentine a
week ago because of hi$ surreptitious transmission from here to
Berlin of information regarding the sailings of merchantmen,
which were designated by him as likely to prove easy victims
to Teuton submarines, has left Buenos Aires much to the relief
of Argentine officials. His destination has not been made pub
lic; but it is believed lie has gone to Germany under the safe
conduct of entente warships.
Ever since the disclosure of Luxburg’s action in making
-urreptitious use of the Swedish legation here to send hk mes
sages to Berlin, there has been a steady increase in extent and
intensitv in the feeling against Germany and Germans.
GUARDED LUXBURG FROM VIOLENCE.
In the past week Luxburg had to be closely guarded here
by Argentine secret service men and lpid to stay indoors to
prevent violence to him by angry crowds. Business [daces
owned by Germans have been wrecked by mobs intent on show
j ing their hatred for everything German.
There is strong agitation for a declaration of war against
| Germany. The Argentine government has asked Germany if
1 Luxburg in sending his secret messages was acting under in
structions from the foreign office in Berlin. It is officially an
nounced that if Germany fails to disavow Luxberg’s action,.
Argentine will recall her minister from Berlin.
GERMAN DIPLOMAT’S OFFICE. j
Luxburg’s offense against Argentine’s neutrality was
sending messages through the Swedish legation to Berlin tell
I ing of the sailings of entente and neutral ships and suggesting
| that they be torpedoed “without leaving any trace of their
j destruction.” The phrase “without leaving any trace” meant
that the crews of the torpedoed merchantmen should not be
taken prisoner or allowed to escape alive. The messages were
in code and did not arouse any suspicion on the part of the
Swedish minister here or the foreign office officials in Stoek
: holm.
ARRANGEMENTS ARE PERFECTED WITH KAISER’S
GOVERNMENT BY UNITED STATES RED CROSS
THROUGH SWITZERLAND ORGANIZATION AND
WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGHOUT PERIOD
OF WAR.
By Anchorage Radio.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.—Arrangements have been per
fected whereby supplies may be sent from the United States
to American prisoners of war in Germany. By the terms of
j the stipulation three food kits, each food kit to contain t n
; pounds of food, may lie sent every two weeks to every Ameri
I can prisoner of war. The German government further agrees
j that receipts for the food may be signed by the captives ami
I returned to the senders of the food.
There are now in Germany 110 American prisoners of war.
Most of these are American sailors and American naval gun
| crews who were taken off American ships torpedoed by (Ur
I aan submarines. Sending of food kits to these prisoners will
I begin at once.
The agreement was made with Germany by the A men a rt
Bed Gross through the Switzerland Red Gross, and will t-on
inue in effect throughout the period of the war.
LARGEST FLEET OF BATTLEPLANES THAT EVER
ENGAGED IN ONE RAID SWOOP LOW OVER MILL
TARY POST. SUBJECT IT TO PERFECT RAIN OF
DEADLY MISSILES AMD ESCAFE WITHOUT LOSS.
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 19.—One of the successful aerial
bombing operations of the war was conducted last night hy a
ieet of allied entente battleplanes against the German military
headquarters in the little town of Rouliers, Belgium. Nine
hundred Germans were either killed or wounded by the explo
sives hurled from the entente machines. Considerable damage
resulted to property, a barracks building having been struck,
as well as an ammunition storehouse.
The attacking fleet of airplanes, according to reports, con
tained the largest number of machines that ever acted togeth
u* in a single raid. They swooped down quite low to drop their
bombs, and after having subjected the place to a perfect rain
of deadly missiles, they ascended high and escaped without
the loss of a single unit of their force.
Information of the raid and its consequences were received
here today from unofficial but trustworthy sources.
