U. s. TROOPS
 MOBILIZING
NINE TRAINLOADS PASSING THROUGH ELPASO FOR
 THE FRONTIER.

ELPASO Dec 19.-Nine trainlOads of American troops began passing through this place last evening on the way to NacO. Arizona, for the pur- pose of protecting the American ter ritory from the bullets which con- tinue to pass over the border. The sending of the troops is undoubtedly the answer of the United States government to the statement by Car ranza that he would regard any in- tereference by the Americans with the Mexican belligerents as an act of hostility. The very moment the Amer ican soldiers reach the border another crisis may be regarded as being in existence between this country and the Mexican republic It is feared that Carranza would almost welcome trouble with this country as he now finds himself in rather a tight pre-, dicament.

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT
 DELIGHTED AUDIENCE.
All in a Crowded House Declare 1t the Best Amateur Performance
 m Their Memory.

Very many people were unable to get into the Casino theater last night owing to the extraordinary numbers of those who wished to see the school entertainment and, everyone says, they lost a most pleasant experience, The training and work of the pupils simply amazed those who looked on. Every number was perfectly rendered and the program was a work of real cleverness. To pick out any particular young performer for special mention would be only fair to him or her but mght suggest invidious comparison that would be unfair to the others not mentioned. But the teachers of the schools certainly deserve great credit.
 Judge Morford of the School board has handed m the touOWlhS CohIhu"- cation;
 "The members of the Seward School Board, and the teachers wish to express their appreciation of the generosity and kindness of Mir. Nuzum in placing the Casino free of all ex- pense at the disposal of the school children for their entertainment last evening. We feel that in view of the assistance thus given by Mir. Nuzum' and the pleasure afforded to the people last evening we might show our ap- preciation by making a full house at the casino this evening"

NATIVE CHARGED WITH
 MURDER BROUGHT HERE.
Held to Grand Jury on First Degree Murder Said to Have Been Com
 mitted at Oshitna.

Indian Jim was brought to Seward today from Knik by Deputy Marshal Harry Brown and will await the ac- tion of the grand jury on the charge of murdering another Indian named Tom Stepan at Oshitna which is some distance from Knik in the inter for. The prisoner was held over by the United States commissioner at Knik on the charge of murder in the first degree. The facts which have come out regarding the occurrence indicate that the two natives had a row about some matter which is not made quite evident. The result of the melee IS said to have been that Indian Jim shot Stepan with a rife in the region of the heart killing him. He will be held here for transference to Valdez to go before the grand jury. He is a mid dle aged man and is said to be well known by the whites of the district where the alleged murder took place.

BIG DEAL MADE E.
 IN BROAD PASS.
TOM AITKEN BUYS WELLS PROP ERTY FOR A QUARTER
 MILLION

Tom Aitken, the wealthy operator of the interior has purchased the quartz property of the Wells boys in the Broad Pass for a quarter of a million dollars. Two thousand dollars were paid down in cash and a further payment of eight thousand dollars wlll be made in thirty days. The pro- perty consists of three claims on what is known as the Mammoth ledge.
 This is the first really big deal made in the section since the amazingly rich discovery was made there a few months ago. Aitken came out from the interior and spent several days here in Seward during which time he went out on an extended trip about which he seemed to be particularly desirous of keeping quiet. When he left here he said he was going to Skagway and thence to Fairbanks over the trail but there is now sus- pcion that he was bound for the Broad Pass although this may be mistake. Mir. McLa lghlin who was with him is supposed to have .emained behind at Knik or some other place in the vicinity to examine the property with the results stated.
 The latest news from Broad Pass seems to confirm the most optimistic statements made about it nOtwith- standing the scepticism which has been in evidence in quarters outside.

PARIS CLAIMS ADVANCE

PARIS, Dec 19-It is officially announced this morn ing that the allied troops have organized the positions won from the enemy in Belgium The chief successes m that mart of the field have been won south of Dxmude. We have also advanced our front to the south of place called Koeer and between the Lys and the Disc we have made progress at several points The coordination of the m arv movements east and west is shown in striking way by the offensive movemnt of the allies in France keeping the Germans engaged and preventing them from send ing achievements to the Polish battlefelds.
 The gains of the allies in France and Flanders are reported to have fully counterbalanced the German ad vance in Poland and the effect of the enemys success tbe last named place may be regarded only making matters even worse
