The reported "throwing out” of the
vote from the Vault creek precinct, in
the Fourth division, by the canvassing
board at .Juneau, created quite a stir
at Fairbanks, and resulted in Henry T.
Hay, who was Delegate Wlckersham’s
manager In the recent campaign, wir
ing a protest to Governor Strong, af
ter going over the election returns
from Vault thoroughly in the office
of the clerk of the court, where he
found everything regular and so in
formed the board.
Governor Strong promptly replied ns
follows: "Vote Vault precinct not
thrown out, nor has any vote any
other precinct, although all have not
been tallied because of non-arrival of
necessary papers connected therewith.
Don’t believe everything you see in
newspapers.”
The foregoing telegram shows that
none of the precincts have been
thrown out, although some of them
have not been tallied on account of
the fact that the necessary papers
have not yet reached the canvassing
board at Juneau.
The last statement contained in the
telegram would indicate that the gov
ernor is a little bit “peeved" over the
reports regarding the work of the can
vassing board which are being sent
out from Juneau. s

PARIS, Fel). 19. — The advantages
of the light, small automobiles for
service at the front is the one dis
covery which the American ambulance
field service has contributed to the
war. It is now nearly two years since
the field service first sent a section
of its light cars into the mountainous
region of Alsace, showing the possi
bility of carrying wounded by automo
bile up and down the mountains in re
gions where up to that time the woun
ded had only been carried on mule
back or in horse drawn cars.
Since that time there has always
been one or another of the American
ambulance sections in this region un
til a fortnight ago, when the last sec
tion was transferred elsewhere. With
in a week after its departure, the
general in command of that region
Bent word that no other cars could do
the work, which had so long been en
trusted to the field service cars, and
asked that another detachment of the
light American cars be sent at once
to help in this work. The field service
has therefore Just sent a new detach
ment to the Vosges under the charge
of Louis Hall, of Ann Arbor, Michi
gan, the brother of the ambulance
drived who was killed in that region
on Christmas, 1916.
The army of the Orient has also
asked for another of the American
ambulance sections, and section 10,
a newly organized section of thirty
ambulances with American drivers, is
now on the way to the Balkans.

LONDON, Feb. 19. — The question
"Is the nation washing too much In
war time?" Is emblazoned over one
of the boothB of the National Econo

housewife that every possible saving
In laundry work is a step toward win
ning the war. "Men should wear soft
collars,” It la urged, "and women
might wear darker and more service
able clothes in place of the delicate
crepe de chine blouses which only re
tain their freshness for a day or two."
The reasons for economy In laundry
work are two-fold, according to the
promoters of the exhibition. First,
laundry work calls for valuable labor
which might be more usefully em
ployed. Secon, washing Involves the
expenditure of money, fuel, time and
soap — all of the highest Importance
in war time.

PROMINENT JAP

(By Associated Press)
TOKIO, Feb. 19. — The Japanese
literary world is mourning the death
of Kinnosuke Natsume, better known
by his pen name of “Soseki,” who was
the leading exponent of Anglo-Saxon
thought In Japanese literature.
Natsume went to England as gov
ernment student in 1900, and soon be
gan to write. A study of how English
poets conceived nature established for
him a definite place in current Jap
anese thought Returning to Japan as
a lecturer, Natsume published his first
novel under the unusual title, "I Am a
Cat.” It created a sensation in the
conventional world.
Natsume’s death mask was taken
by the sculptor Taketaro Shinkai. The
post-mortem examination by medical
experts, which was made at the au
thor's explicit desire, showed that the
convolutions of his brain were un
usually deep and that the brain
weighed 75 grams more than the av
orage Japanese man’s, which weighs
1,350 grams.
