TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1919
Many of our townspeople are going
a-courting this week.
' None too early to begin framing
those good resolutions.
A few ashes spread on a slippery
sidewalk may prevent a broken limb.
The early Christmas shoppers are
reaping the benefit of the best selec
tion of gifts.
Territorial politics is beginning to
arouse interest among prospective
candidates for office.
Cordova welcomes the court officials
and trusts that their stay here may be
a most enjoyable one.
The Bahai movement, which is her
alded as the coming universal reli
gion, is to be explained to Cordovans
Friday night.
In the States they are suffering from
the cold and a shortage of fuel, while
in Alaska the weather is mild and
coal plentiful—such as it is.
Other Alaska towns have a curfew
ordinance and are enforcing it. The
need of keeping children off the streets
late at night is very apparent in Cor
dova.
The season of the overworked post
office employes is now at hand, so in
mailing your packages to friends in
the States do not wait until the
steamer is in port before taking them
to the postoffice.
The wise merchant is making lib
eral use of the advertising columns
of the Daily Times to acquaint the
people with his holiday stock, and is
thereby offering many a suggestion
for an appropriate Christmas gift.
The government could make a most
acceptable Christmas gift to the resi
dents of Alaska in general, and those
of Cordova in particular, by congress
passing the oil leasing bill before it
adjourns for the holiday vacation.
The political friends of J. R. Heck
man of Ketchikan are anxious to have
him enter the race for the position
of national committeeman from
Alaska. Thus far he has declined to
stand as a candidate, and unless he
changes his mind the Republicans of
the First division want “Jack” Hillis
to enter the race for that position.
It is authoritatively stated that Sen
ator Dan Sutherland, who recently
passed through Cordova on his way
to Ruby, will make an announcement
of his candidacy for the Republican
nomination for delegate to congress
from Alaska upon his arrival at Fair
banks. It is generally conceded that
George B. Grigsby will again be the
choice of the Democrats for this of
fice.
Most of the daily newspapers of
Alaska have increased their subscrip
tion rates to $1.25 per month. Al
though the Daily Times is one of the
largest papers in the territory, with
an Associated Press telegraphic serv
ice covering all the important news
happenings of the world, it is still
being delivered or mailed for $1 per
month or $10 a year if paid in ad
vance. The price of paper continues
to increase, and it may be only a
question of time when we will be
forced to raise our rates.

ONE AMERICAN ENDS
RHINE AREA REVOLT
——————
Ex-German Soldiers Forced by
Officer to Take Down Red
Flag, Dig Up Pole.
Single-handed, an American intelli
gence officer recently put down a “rev
olutionary” movement in the area- on
the Rhine occupied by United States
troops.
The first the Americans knew of the
“revolt” was when news reached army
headquarters that in Luetz, a village
of 200 population, a red flag had been
hoisted and was waving in the breeze
at the tip of a 70-foot pole.
When the American officer arrived in
Luetz the “revolution,” conceived by
a society calling itself “Frohsinn”
(Hilarity) and composed of young men
most of whom were discharged Ger
man soldiers, was well under way and
none of the inhabitants could enter or
leave the village without proper pass
port provided by the society members.
Luetz, like many German villages in
the hills, has no troops in the town,
the army depending upon an occasional
patrol to keep in touch wltlj eyents^
The American summoned the ge
meindevorsteher, or the chief official
af the town, who informed the officer
that this was the third attempt of the
‘Frohsinnists” to rule the village and
that the action was directed against
the Catholic priest, for whom the
voting men had a pronounced dislike.
The American officer summoned, the
executive council of the society, pro
vided them with pick and shovel, and
tiad them dig up the flag pole, amid
the applause of the conservative ele
ment of the village.
He instructed the burgomaster to
withhold until further notice any au
thorization for meetings of the “Hi
arity,” gave the executive council a
tiressing down and instructed the one
Serman policeman to patrol Luetz at
ill hours on Sundays, when most po
ltical meetings are held.
Each member of the “executive
council” promised to be good hereaf
ter and none of the society members
were arrested. They agreed that the
American had convinced them that
'revolution” did not pay. The revolu
tion had lasted six hours. f
