AMERICAN NOTE OF PROTEST

 TICKLED TO DEATH.
Bunnell Appointment has Touched the Right Spot Amongst Sew
 ard JeffersOnians.

The appointment of Charles E. Bun nell as judge of the Fourth division has evidently suited the local demo- crats to perfection. The secretary of the democratic club is preparing a letter of congratulation to Mir. Bunnell and will express the feeling of great satisfaction which the club members experienced when the news arrived. Secretary Phelps says the appoint ment hows once for all where Presi- dent Wilson stands. Jack Roman, once candidate for congress and chairman of the meeting addressed by Bunnell in Seward, is really jubilant. T. w..

 OF BUNNELL'S SUCCESS
Regard it as the Squelching of Those Who opposed Him in His

VALDEZ, Dec. 3O.-The news of the appointment of Bunnell as judge of the Fourth division was hailed by the democrats here with the greatest pleasure. Politics were so warm in this city during the last election that some bitterness resulted. The candi- dacy of Spence and BunnelI for the judgeship was looked upon as similar to an election all over again between the representatives of the same part ies. The Prospector halls the appoint ment of Bunnell as full proof that the president desired his election to congress and that the defeat of the democrat nominee was setback to himself.

CANTERBURY CALLS TO ARMS

LONDON, Dec 3O-In his New Years letter to the clergy and ay of the church of England the Archbishop of Canterbury makes fervent appeal to all men capable of bearing to enlist in the army to fight the Germans
 He says that the very life of the British empire may de- pend on the response given the call for soldiers to de- defend it. Most of the other bishops and nearly all the clergymen of the English church making similar ap peas and everything possible is being done to coax the young men into the ranks There is still fear in many quarters that conscrption may become necessary but everything being done to avoid it. Professional foot ball has been almost forbidden. The social ostracism pracsed professional players of the game is being felt and many of the clubs have been discontinued The lead CTS in parliament are constantly holding recruiting meet ngs and some of them even address the crowds at foot ball matches and tell them that they ought to be fighting instead of playing.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3O.-Champ Clark, speaker of the house, and President Wilson discussed at length today legislative matters but did not enter into party matters as care was taken to have known. Clark has an nounced that he will not be a candi- date for the presidential nomination in 1916 so that there is no danger of personal friction between Mir. Wilson and himself. He told the president today that he expected the legislation of the administrations program to be finished this session and that an extra session will not be necessary. Clark also stated that the vote on woman suffrage will come up on January twelve.

for the report of the engineering com mission before trying to come to a conclusion. This statement of the president is given as a fact and the correspondent goes on to say that the government is believed to be consider ing the taking over of the Alaska Northern railroad, the Copper River and Northwestern railroad and the Panama Mines railroad.
 For these reasons the decision of the president is sure to be delayed as the preliminary proceedings before consummating a deal for one of the existing roads or all of them are sure to occupy some time and on the suc- cess of the deals for the railroad will depend in great measure the final decision.
