TFN NH ION RUSSIANS ENROLL TO FIGHT GERMANY
GERMANS RE-TAKE M4LLNES---
 BRITISH ARE HOLDING OS1END
FRENCH FORTIFY PARIS

PARIS, Aug 2S-Thc French minister of war Miller rand discussed with the whole cabinet today plans for the defense of Paris and needless to the fact has created
 deep gloom although the government has eXhOrted the nation not to give up hope that the Germans will yet be pulsed from French soil
 It has been officially announced however that Paris IS preparing for possible siege and the mOmentOus aE nouncement is in itself sad blow Mierand has are2G discussed with the Subordnates of his department the question of fOryng the city and steps have already beer taken to determine the exact measures to be adopted t. place the city in position 10 withstand attack and in vaSion Milerand will meet every morning the officials O the city government and with the other officials of the war department for the consideration of all the develop mentS and all phases which might arise when the great city becomes an entrenched military camp. The huge dertakng of converting the capital into armed camp and of taking care of its millions of residents which is now the chief of the government It is pOss be that of the people may be sent to the country if it be done to enable the soldiers 10 have supply of pro visions for prolonged siege.
 Paris will probably at once begin work of entrenching
 itself and formidable Qualifications will be erected behind which the armies at the front may retreat and still offer
 great opposition to the invaders should the Germans continue their advance to the city.
 In the meantime the French people hope on that the advance of the Russians in the east may yet turn the tide of victory in favor of the allies.

SCHOOL BIDS
 KNOCKED OUT
OWING TO MISTAKE DELAY OCCURS IN GIVING
 CONTRACT

At the special meeting of the coun- cil last evening to receive bids for the building of the new school house three bids were received but owlng to an oversight the consideration of tie bids was postponed until a special meeting which will be held next Mon day evening.
 The clerk read the bid of George H. COnkln before announcement was made that the bids were about to be opened. The bid of Mr. Conklin was $3,7S5 but immediately after the reading of it Charles Krefting pre- sented a bid from the floor of the chamber. His bid was just ten dol lars less than the Conklin bid. The only other bid received was that of J. T. Harvey which was $4,432.
 Owing to the fact that the bid of one man was read before the other was presented and that no announce ment of the reading of the bids was made the majority of the council de- cided to postpone the matter. Some people now say they have reason to think that all the three bids will be rejected.
 There has also been expressed a feeling that the school will not be built at all as the treasurer read re- port showing that when all the taxes are collected, if they are collected, and when the school lots are paid for and all Outstanding warrants met the city would only have $4,3S6 in the treasury and the school building might cost $5,000. It has been said that Bishop Rowe has offered to the Methodists the use of the Episcopal church on condition that they put furnace in the building and some people believe that the city could get the use of the church on the same terms from the bishop for a school.

BURNS NEVER WAS CANDIDATE
JACK ROMAN DECLARES THE MENTION OF HIS NAME WAS
 CONFINED TO COAST

That William Burns of Fairbanks was never an aspirant for delegate honors is the statement made this morning by John Roman, democratic committeeman and formerly candi- date for congress on the democratic ticket. Mir. Roman has returned after a tour of the district during which he ,sited several properties and several mining sections generally. He says that no one in Fairbanks ever men .ioncd Burns as a candidate for the nomination and that his name in such a connection only appeared in ;he coast papers. He had already dcclin- ed absolutely to let his name go for ward.
 Martin Harrais, according to NIr Roman, is now one of the most solid members of the regular democratic party. He was deceived in the las, campaign and is altogether too hon est and honorable a man, Mr. Roman says, to permit his association with questionable politicians to continue when he learned the truth.
 NIr. Roman will be around this dis trict all the fall He will take a prom inent part in the reception to the present democratic candidate and will undoubtedly, work hard for the sue cess of the party.

BELGIANS REFUSED

Four divisions of the Belgian army which had opened an attack on the Germans with Antwerp their base have been repused and driven back to that city Many of their guns were taken and large number of prisoners. The German communications have been destroyed at Lou vain however and this is regarded rather serious mishap.
 The last line of German reservists has been called out to duty and are mobilizing and will probably be dis patched to reinforce the German opposing the Rus sans in East Prussia It is supposed that they not called out before the department considered it bet ter to see first where they most needed Now that the allies have been defeated in the north and west it is generally concluded that the Russians will be the next to receive attention.
 In spite of the victories believes that the allies will not yet put up strenuous opposition to the advance of the German armies into France and some very bitter struggles will yet take place although the hostile armies are said to have been converted into force which no longer hope to withstand the troops of the kaiser flushed with victory.

SEWARD MOURNS
 CAPTAIN MOORE
PASS RESOLUTION EXPRESSING POOR "ZIM%
 STERLING QUALITIES

The Pioneers met last night in this city and passed resolutions express ing their great regret at the death of Captain Zim Moore who was a mem Der of Seward Igloo No. 9.
 Never, perhaps, has an Alaskan died who has been so popular. Ike Evans, secretary of the lodge, declar- ed this morning that Captain Moore was the best friend the prospector ever had and that a "whiter" oldtimer never came to Alaska.
 Never yet, said Mir. Evans, "did Captain Moore hear of some prospec- tor stranded on some shore, whi.e he ran the Dora, that he did not go to take him off, no matter how much out of the way it might be-.
 But, the resolution passed last night, speaks volumes:
 Resolved, That in the death of Pio- neer Zimro S. Moore, this Igloo la ments the loss of brother who was aver ready to profrer the hand of aid and the voice of sympathy to the needy and distressed, a friend and companion who was dear to us all, a citizen whose upright and noble life was a standard of emulation to his fellows. He was man every inch of him, and his death was a fitting end ing for his life.
 Resolved, that the heartfelt synpa' thy of this Igloo be extended to his family in their affliction.
