FRANCE IN HIGH
 SPIRITS

PARIS, Oct. 30.-The French government announced today that it regarded the situation in Flanders as highly favorable to the Allies.
 The feeling of elation and op- timism in French official circles surpasses anything that has been experienced since the declara- tion of war. It isfar more buoy ant than would be indicated by the official statement that was given out.
 The people of Paris are con vinced that the situation is far more favorable than is being rep resented.

 SPEAKS AT
 VALDEZ

VALDEZ, Oct. 3O.-Charles E. Bun nell, Democratic nominee for Delegate to Congress, spoke for two hours last night to the biggest and most enthus- iasuc meeting that was ever held in Valdez. Eagles hall was crowded to the doors and many were turned away.
 The speaker urged the people of the coast to aid the Fairbanks district in securing a government built and gov ernment owned Central power plant, which, he said, is needed to help de- velop that section. He promised, if elected, every effort to secure the power plant and greater appropria- tions for wagon roads and trails.
 He promised that he would carry no personal quarrels or fights to Wash ington. He asked for the endorse ment of the administration by electing a Delegate to Congress of the same political party to which he belongs. He said that President Woodrow Will son had done more for Alaska in two years than all the other presidents combined had done for Alaska, since it's purchase, and that he is entitled to the evidence of Alaska's apprecia- ton of his efforts.
 There is no question of doubt about the Third Division. It will give Charles E. BUnnell a large majority of it's votes. The smallest estimate on his majority at Valdez places 1t at 15O. His supporters say that 1t will be from 100 to 150 greater than that.
