Nome, Alaska, Dec. 1.-BeCause Of
a furious blizzard the last three days,
which has done much property dam

tempts to move the mails have been
abandoned, as the dog teams cannSt
cross the bridges and are unable to

their being washed away as they
were year ago.
At the smaller camps along the
shore conditions are not SO favorable:
Solomon, 80, miles east of Nome, and
Dickson, railway terminal at the
mouth of the Solomon river, are sur
rounded by water and ice.
The storm is increasing in fury and
early today all telephone lines along
the coast were torn down by the
storm. From the safety roadhouse,
east Of Nome, came the word that
water was pouring in from the sea
and had forced the inmates 70 seek
refuge on the second floor. II is i'm
possible to rescue them as the ice
floes would crush the boats. Late TO-
day no life loss was reported.

of the heavy fighting during the last
few days with the invading Russians.
Emperor Nicholas departed from Pet

King George is making his first visit
to the battle line in France.
Therefore the battle in Northern

the eyes of the German and Russian
emperors Virtually, the heads Of all
of the warning nations are now with
their troops,H as the king of Belgium,

Poincare Of France started today for

Official news from Poland con-

quarters claiming successes it is i'm

it's intensity.
The Germans, when they started
for Warsaw, dashed at full tilt into
the mass of Russians and forced their
way so far in that the Russians closed
in on them. While Petrograd was ex

there had been annillilated the Teu-

Against the Austro.German forces
in the south the Russians continue to
gain more decisive results. They now
possess all the Austrian positions pro

said to have arrived abreast of Cra-

DON'T WORRY IF
CAN'T BUY STAMP

Washington Dec. There We're
thousands Of persons in many cities
of the United States who spent hours
today in rushing to the Offices of the
internal revenue collectors, alarmed
over their inability to obtain revenue
stamps in compliance with the war
revenue tax law. They were need
lessly frightened over what might
easily happen if they were not on the
minute with their stamping. The in
ternal revenue bureau in the treas
ury department found time late in
the day to send telegram to the
collectors. making it plain that the
government has no intention of pros
ecuting anybody subject to the tax
who shows he is willing and ready to
buy stamps and pay the tax. Officials
say that congress did not facilitate
the work of the revenue bureau, but
rather hampered it by failing to give
an additional appropriation to per-
mt it to prepare for carrying out the
provisions OF the new law.
POLICE RESTRAIN CROWDS.
New York. Dec 1.-Police reserves
were needed this afternoon to re-
strain the crowds that besieged the
United States internal revenue Offices
in attempts to buy the new war tax
