The Statement That the Boundary Commission
Decides in Our Favor
(By the Associated Press }

London, Oct 1G.-The Associated Press
has the highest authority for saying that
the announcement made by the London
Morning Advertiser today, that the 1eci-
sion of the Alaskan Boundary Commission
virtually comedies the American case, is
entirely untrue The commission, thus
far, has reached no decision and no vote
has been taken even in the private ses
sions, which would Indicate Chief Justice
Alverstone's position. 1t is quite true that
the general trend of opinion among those
connected with the tribunal, aside from
the commissioners, is that the ultimate
decision will be in favor Of America, but
there is as yet not the slightest warrant
for saying it has been reached.
