COAST NATIVE SETTLEMENTS HARD HIT BY INFLUENZA
LAWMAKERS ARE
AFIER BURLESON
FOR LETTING GO
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jane S.—
There is considerable unfavorable
criticism among members of Con
gress regarding the efforts of Post
master General Burleson to escape
responsibility for further super
vision over the telegraph and tele
phone systems of the country. The
desire of the postmaster general
to restore the systems to their
owners, congressmen charge, was
prompted by fear that he would
be unable to prevent a general
strike among the telephone and tele
graph operatives. He passed the
buck, the lawmakers declare, when
advised of growing discontent a
mong the workers, being anxious to
shift the burden of settlement to
the owners of the systems.
The operators in ten Southeastern
states quit their positions last night,
and efforts are being made by
leaders of the movement to extend
the strike to other sections of the
country with the object ultimately
of involving the entire nation.
STOPS PARADERS
WINNIPEG, June 6.—Backed by
the support of Canadian soldier?
lately returned from overseas.
Mayor Gray has issued a proclama
tion forbidding parades of all sorts
and the congregating of crowds in
any portion of the city. He hop-s
by this means to hasten the re
storation of normal conditions,
which are still very unsettled as the
result of the late genera! strike
and the threatening attitude of the
soldiers. The discouragement of
demonstrations and the elimination
of soap box orators, the mayor be
lives, will put a stop to the activi
ties of radical agitaotrs.

to the seriousness of the influenza
\ epidemic among the native settle
ments of Alaska has been removed
by advices received from the North
i today by Supt. Lopp, head of the
Alaska native school service. A
cable from Dr. L. H. French, in
charge of the native hospital at
Nushagak, reports that one hundred
and sixty natives have succumbed
" to the flue during the past ten
days around Bristol Bay and Un
x alaska. The epidemic, he says, has
i spread with alarming rapidity and

Earlier appeals for aid have al
ready been responded to by th
government, the cruiser Marblehea1
now being enroute to Alaska water
with doctors, nurses and medica
supplies, and it is possible that ad
ditional relief will be rushed t<
the Alaska coast as a result of th<
report received by Supt. Lopp, wh<
states that a considerable numbs
of doctors and nurses will be re
quired to cope successfully wit'
i the situation, owing to the numbe:
of native settlements and their re

Of BAD FAITH
FARIS, June 6.—The Matin, one
of the leading newspaper? of this
city, is authority for the statement
that President Wilson has denied
the charge, made in Germany, that
the treaty transmitted to the Ger
man delegation is unlike the peace
terms advocated by him prior to
the convening of the world peace
conference.
The American president asserts,
says the Matin, that the treaty does
not violate any of the Wilson prin
ciples, as expounded by him before
the close of the war. He'says fur
ther that he would not hesitate t >
express a contrary opinion, if he
held one.
The treaty as presented to the
Germans, he declares, conforms n
every way to the fourteen points
upon which the Germans say they
consented to sign the armistice.
