ARMIES THROW BOMBS

LONDON Dec 5-The intense nature of the fighting which is now proceeding in France and Belgium is ndcat ed by the dispatches today which state that one part ot the hamlet of Lemaningi in possession of the allies while the other part is held by the Germans. It is also positive fact that the ferymans house the hamlet has been in dispute for month and the dSputantS fight hand and hand as if they were engagedn duken and crazy brawL Even the smallest successes are noteworthy under the pre- sent sort of fighting The opposing troops not only fight hand to hand with the savagey of wild beasts but both sides are armed with hand grenaders which they throw into each other faces and with which they blow each other to bits new device which both sides have also adopted is machines for throwing bombs. With these machines each side causes fightful slaughter The bombs are thrown at close quarters and sometimes the bodies of the men blown up shot into the opposing ranks bye the force of the explosions The allies have device which gives them much advantage. This IS tunnel boring ap- paratus with which they enabled to approach the Ger man lines by subterraneous channels So terrible IS the work and so frghtfuly exhaustng that flesh and blood cannot stand it long.

 OF NOME HERE ARRIVE AFTER SEVERE EX- FERENCE ON THEIR JOUR-
 NEY TO JUNEAU.

Frank Aldrich, senator, and James P. Daly and Martin Moran, repre- scntatives from Nome, arrived this morning on the Dora which picked them up at Sand Point where they had to land owing to the loss of the propeller of the little schooner Silver Wave on which they had started from Nome in order to reach Juneau in time to take part in the next session of the legislature.
 Captain Chris Gudmundson, the skipper of the Silver Wave, Andy Anderson, a prominent mining opera tor of the Nome country and a mem- Der of Nome's city council, Frank Smith, another operator of the Nome country Tom Connolly, still another we'll known mining man of that camp and Manager Chandler of the Three Friends mining company, were also passengers on the Silver Wave and ar rived here this morning also on the Dora.
 The Silver Wave left Nome on Nov ember 10 and took twelve days to reach Sand Point owing to severe weather and to meeting ice in large quantities. She left Nome free of ice but when she once got into it she had it all the way to Nunivak. After land ing at Sand Point the wayfarers had to wait nine days until the Dora came along and took them out of their diff faculties. All of the travellers will take the first steamer to Seattle.
 Frank Alrrich who was elected sen ator in the last election was member of the house in the last legislature. James Daly is a brother of the late A. J. Daily, formerly national demo- cratic committeeman for Alaska. Martin Moran is an old timer of the Seward peninsula, He has been en- gagged in mining, fox raising and was U. S. commissioner in the Kobuk country.
 The only precinct not heard from in the second division is the Kobuk but it cannot change the general results of the election.

POLAND SITUATION THE SAME

LONDON, Dec. 5.-It was learned this morning from Russian Poland that the situation there just about the same as it was week ago when the German army was saved from an overwhelming defeat by the brilliant opera tons of General ackenzen It has also been learned that the Germans at Lodz fought their way through the Rus sian lines over the heaped up bodies of their comrades Mackenzen when he found himself encrcled evidently de- cded to burst through the Russians at all cost and so save his country from terrible disaster The cost m
 lives was simply appalling but that he succeeded IS one o the wonders of all military operations As result ot the rocont gbng the fortress at Kev is crowded with Ger man prisoners Since the beginning of the war one hun dred and thirty thousand German soldiers and twenty
 five hundred officers have passed through Kev as prison CTS of war The allies have, however ceased claiming tremendous victory in Poland but the Russians assert that the operations have been strategic defeat for the Germans and tactical victory for the Russians them selves

WILL CHANGE
 ELECTION LAW
NOME LEGISLATORS FAVOR IN PRODUCING AUSTRALIAN
 BALLOT SYSTEM.

The members of the Alaska legis- lature who arrived this morning all seem to be in favor of introducing the Australian ballot system into Ala ska elections. Senator Aldrich be- lieves that registration would be i'm practicable in the territory owing to the remoteness of several districts. Representative Moran agrees with this apparently but both favor the Australian system. MT Aldrich stood pat on the mining law but thinks that q few amendments may be found ad- vi able. Mir Moran believes in the mining law generally but he says that he wishes to see changed the clause which compels holders of association claims to pay one hundred dollars for each twenty acre claims. He objects chiefly to this because so many owners of association claims have already ad- vertised out the others who failed to do their share of the work. As the as sociation claim has now been knocked out for the future he believed those held now should remain under the old laws for the sake of justice. MT. Aldrich also favors a recall, referen- dunn and direct primary law but as to other matters he says it would be impossible at present to give any out line as to what ought to be done. Later he believes several other mat ters will be taken up and acted on.
 Representative Daily favors the Australian system and he is totally opposed to the mining laws as it ap- niles in certain respects to the as- sociation claims. He has not quite made up his mind about the regiStra- tion.

OPPOSED TO
 CARPET BAGS
LEGISLATURE WILL TAKE STEPS TO KEEP ALASKA FOR
 ALASKANS.

That the coming session of the legislature will take strenuous steps towards having appointments in Alaska filled by Alaskans may now be said with confidence. It was fairly well known before that such a policy would be adopted by the legislature but since the arrival of the members of the legislature from Nome the statement can be made with double confidence. The question will be taken up seriously and determinedly. All of the Nome representatives declined, however, to make any positive state ment regarding the matter although carpet-bagging has been practised to such an extent at Nome that the whole people up there have risen in arms against lt.
 It is now made positively certain by the new arrivals from Nome that the assistant district attorney who was shipped in last fall has been shipped out again. This is the man who said Alaskans were growing more law abiding under his benefcent and wise rule. In other respects the department of justice has also cut down expenses in the Second division.

Frank Youngs Writes That the Spirit
 City is Very Quiet Indeed.

In letter to Frank Cotter Frank E. Youngs states that Seattle looks quieter than he has ever seen it for the past sixteen years, that is during his own experience of the city. News from other places is similar and the Seattle papers which have recently arrived say that the spirit city is talk ing steps to prevent pouring of im- migration from British Columbia cities which seem to have been partic- ularly hard hit by the conditions arising chiefly from the European war.
