BERLIN ALSO CLAIMS GAINS

BERLIN, Dec 21-The war office issued a state ment today that the German army has been successful in the fighting at Nieuport the Belgian coast It also IS claimed that the Germans took several positions held by the British and Indian troops and captured two hundred and seventy of them and artillery. The trenches taken by the allies time ago were recaptured at Notre Dame de Lorete Near Souain the French reach ed some German trenches but driven off with loss of three hundred and fourteen prisoners and many killed The official statement quotes teXtuay the orders issued by General Jore to the French troops urging them to press forward in the endeavor to drive the German ln- vaders from French territory The German war office evidently publishes the statement of the French command CT in chief to show that the allies have now actually be- engaged in what was to be great toward movement but which has failed This city is still celebrating the vic tory of the home troops against the Russians n Poland The pause in the advance taken to mean only the pre- paration for the continuation of the swoop on Warsaw and news momentary expected that this advance has been begun From the reports received here the people have come to believe that the defeat of the Russians was most disastrous and has demorazed the armies ot the czar to an almost unbelievable extent Hindenburg IS once more the hero of the hour.

BROAD PASS MAY SOON BE- ANOTHER JUNEAU
THAW WILL BE
 BROUGHT BACK SUPREME COURT REYRRSES FEDERAL COURT AND OR .c, DERS EXTRADITION.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Thc United States supreme court has re- versed the decision of the federal court in New Hampshire in the case of Harry Thaw and has ordered that he be extradited immediately. Justice aHolmes announced that it is the courts unanimous decision to ocer- rule the contention that it was not a crime for a man confined in an insane asylum to walk out if he could. Thaw hac been living in Manchester, New Hampshire, for three months.
 It has been learned that Thaw may remain at New Hampshire for thirty days unless his attorneys consent to his removal sooner. Today's court mandate will not be issued until the attorneys on both sides ask for an earlier issue.
 The result of the finding of the supreme court undoubtedly is that Thaw will be once more confined in the asylum.

Tom Stepan Said to be Killed by Indian Jim was Chief and
 Preacher.

Tom Stepan, for whose murder Indian Jim is now in jail in Seward, was the chief of the Knik Indians and was also accustomed to hold services of the Greek church in Knik and else where. He also held some services in the Nelchina and Judge L. F. Shaw, formerly commissioner of the latter camp, says he was we'll liked. Indian Jim who must stand trail on the charge of murdering the chief was a sort of second chief and is also well known and liked. According to the Knik News, Indian Jim went to Knil< after the occurrences and gave him- self up to the authorities.

BELIEVE BATTLE UNDECIDED

LONDON, Dec. 21.-Brtish military observers say that the German contentious that Hndenburg scored great victory over the Russians must be qualified at least to some extent It is clear that Hndenbrg has made steady advance in the direction of Warsaw but it is be-
 eved that the Russians in falling back took positions in strong enenchments and much hard fighting remains before the final outcome of the battle be determined Nothing has been said during the past few hours that give any idea as to what the Russians doing in the south but as Petrograd has given out information it must be assumed that the siege of CracOw has not begun It even feared that the Russians have been really compelled to abandon the attempt take the fortress for the pre- sent This mornings accounts very meager in rea- ton to both the eastern and western theateS and not a word has been published about the fighting in Flanders and France It is still believed in many quarters that forward movement by the allies hardly be successful before spring but fine weather usually there in the beginning of March and real spring is not more than three months distant.

ENGLAND WANTS
 TO STOP GAMES
PUBLIC MEN CALL ON FOOTBALL LERS TO FIGHT FOR,
 COUNTRY.

LONDON, Dec. 19-The warfare between those who want professional football continued during wartime and those who think that the players and employees of the football clubs ought to be at the front, goes on merrily with the Poet Laureate as the latest contributor to the discussion.
 The chief argument of those who oppose the discontinuance of the games, which draw every Saturday even larger crowds than the American baseball worlds series contests, is that the loss of the millions of dollars which the football "magnates" pay out for salaries and other expenses would be a crushing economic blow to large class. The sporting editor of the Daily News, for instance, says:
 q contend that Football is an abso- lute necessity to the community. Stop it and you will drive the men who are making guns, ammunition, uniforms, boots, etc. into wilderness of the drink-shops on Saturday afternoon. The men who are fighting and will fight later on, or who are doing the nations urgent work at home, have selected professional football as their mode of weekly relief from the wor- ries of their labor"
 The other side of the argument is presented in an open letter from Dr. Bridges, the Poet Laureate. He says:
 "I voice the feeling of the country in declaring that it is high time pro- fessional football should be discOn- tinued
 "The sightseeing crowds are not so much to blame, I hope, as they ap- pear to be; take it they are ignOr- antly misled by the small body of men who cater for them.
 "The whole nation is mourning for those falling in defense and would suggest that the herioc death of Lord Roberts is such an occasion as may we'll serve these football managers as a motive for fixing the term for the cessation of their public entertain ments.
 "Our enemies calculated on finding the mass of our people apathetic. If any class is showing itself so, they are traitors and more dangerous than the Germans themselves. It is high

GUGGFNHFIMS BOUGHT IN
 BROAD PASS THEY SAY
Aitken Certainly Represented Shelter People in Purchase
 Recently Made

visited the Broad Pass himself and it is certain that he never purchased for himself property which he himself had never seen although he could easily have visited it. The fact is that Aitken met Engineer Newsome who, it is we'll known, represented the Gug- genheims here, indeed it was so well known that he was the Guggenheim man that for him to try to make the deal would let everyone know who was at the back of it, and the last thing the Guggeuheims want to do, for Ob- vious reasons is to let anyone know that they have any finger in those mining deal pies. But one thing is about as certain as anything could be which is not proven by documents and that is the Guggenheims are now in the Broad Pass country to stay. It has been learned since the story of the deal for the Broad Pass property was published that Mir. Aitken has really gone to Skagway and thence to the interior as he said he was going to do. He has gone to Dawson to get a dredge to place on property on Candle creek in the Kuskokwim. The fact that he did not go to Broad Pass after making the deal may be regarded as very significant.
