HUN NAVIGATION
RUINED FOR EVER
German Naval Officer Talks of
Dishonorable Record of the
Late German Navy.
FIRTH OF FORTH, Scotland.—
A German naval lieutenant of one
of the interned warships said that
he believes that Germany’s naviga
tion has been ru'ned forever. Ow
*ing ’to its dishonorable record, he
said, nobody cared to serve in the
disgraced naval service.
The German fleet which sur
rendered was found to be in a de
plorable condition, through long ne
glect, the ships were dirty and
lacked paint and showed ample signs
of general neglei). The interior
compartments smelt moldy, as the
electric ventilation systems on the
I shits had not been in use for some
time.
The ships gave the appearance of
having been put away somewhere
s-rd neglected entirely for a long
time.
British Aviators Do Considerable
Damage Just Before Signing
of Armistice.
LONDON.—For the period cover
ing: thirteen months, immediately
preceeding the signing of the armis
tice, the British air forces were very

enemy property.
Seven hundred and nine trips
were made by squadrons of bombing
planes into German territory, and
seven hundred and thirty-seven tons
of bombs were dropped on German
I factories and military works and an
enormous amount of damage done.
The damage sustained by the Brit
ish air force in these expeditions
was comparatively light, only a few
of the machines being lost.

Intensely Cold Weather Temporarily
Halts Fighting In Northern
Russian Front.
ARCHANGEL.—Winter, over the
northern Russian front has begun
in earnest. The cold is intense and
all rivers are frozen over.
The Bolsheviki river gun boats,
which had been operating against
the Allies and giving them much
trouble along the Dvina river, have
had to be withdrawn, owing to the
freezing up of the rivers and the
operations along the Dvina have
now dwindled down to desultory
firing.
The Bolsheviki have been receiv
ing heavy reinforcements recently
and their numbers are being added
to daily. The early resumption of
heavy fighting is expected by the
Allies, who are making all prepara
tions for meeting any move the Bol
sheviki may make

SMALIPOX CASES
Dread Epidemic Appears In Coast
Town; Patients Isolated and
Precautions Taken.
Dr. David H. More, chief surgeon
.of the Alaskan Engineering com
mission and health officer for the
Nenana district, received the folio t
ing telegram from Governor Riggs:
“Three cases smallpox developed
in Seward; they are now isolated
and under strict quarantine, but ad
vise watching all travel from Sew
ard.”
Dr. More stated that preventive
measures against this disease will
be taken immediately, and that the
quarantine against influenza now in
force will be made more strict and
the cordon around Nenana drawn
tighter, especially on the Broad Pass
trail.
The disease is independent of
conditions of soil and climate and
has flourished equally well in th«
Tropics and in the frozen North.
There is no disease to which the
entire human race is so susceptible,
though there is some difference in
race susceptibility. The negro is
generally regarded as more sus
ceptible ftian the white race.
Roy Lunds dog stage, with first
class mail, left Fairbanks this morn

CHILE AND PERU
AT OUTS AGAIN
Relations Between South American
Countries Are Strained Again
to Breaking Point.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Although
the state department has not yet had
official intimation of the fact, it is
reported that the relations between
Chile and Peru are so strained that
it will become necessary for Amer
ica to act as arbitrator to prevent
an armed clash.
The difficulty between the two
countries is the outgrowth of an old
dispute between Chile and Peru
over the border provinces of Taena
and Arica. These provinces, which
were formerly a part of the Peru
vian republic, has been held by
Chile for many years, and, by reason
of the attitude of its people, was a
constant source of worry to the two
countries involved, in much the
same way as Alsace-Lorraine was *.o
France and Germany.

assembled at the dock, and a great
cheer for the gallant Yanks went
up as the Mauretania cast off and
pulled away from the dock.
Wireless news despatches will be
placed on board the Mauretania
every day until she reaches the
American port of disembarkation.

SOCIALIST HEAD
MIGHT EMBARRASS
NEW GOVERNMENT
BERLIN.— Dr. Liebknecht, the
radical Socialist leader, is endeav
ouring to influence the troops re
turning from the front into his way
of thinking, and is using, every
means in his power to obtain this
^end.
He has a small army of Reds as
his henchmen and they have been
accused of packing political meet
ings and forcing the votes for the
adoption of measures that will em
barass the government. #
The violent attacks delivered
against the national assembly re
cently give ample indication that
Liebknecht is not winning the re
turning soldiers.
