ALLIES ON GERMAN SOIL

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The allied armies have now reached German soil in three different places They are in Asace East Prussia and in Sesia so that the German empire itself is now tasting of the medicine which it has administered to the others In Sesla according to the reports reaching this city, several bodies ot Cos sacks have appeared They to the Russian army what the Uhlans are to the German army and usually form the advance scouts The advance guards of the conqueng Russian armies are now therefore, only two hundred miles from Berlin and is almost certainty that the
 main bodies will be engaging the enemy on German terri tory within very few days. Some military experts here are sending out warnings that the Russians can advance too quickly if they are not careful In Russian Poland there are few railroads and it is pointed out that the fur ther the Russians from their base of supplies the more they will become exposed to attacks on their lines of communications It is also pointed out that Hmdenburg who commanding the Germans is the man who command ed the Germans when the Russians were led into East Prussia and then overwhelmed Another weak point, the experts declare from the fact that the further they advance the will they expose their right to the Ger man army which is still in possession of the greater part of East Prussia Hndenburg has proven himself to be leader of genius and great and the fact that he now retiring without striking blow is regarded as suspicious It stated the other hand that the Russian generals must also be aware of those facts and they can be trusted not to go ahead bndy In spite of this ueasness the general feeling that the Russians have at last be- gun their long expected advance on Berlin,

RUSSIANS DRIVING ONWARD
THE GREAT CRISIS IS AT HAND FOR GERMANY
CARRANzA RECEIVES
 ULTIMATUM AT LAST

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-.i'he Aguas Calientes national convention has sent word to Carranza that unless he immediatly agrees to the order of the convention calling on him to re- sign he will be immediatly proceeded against. At the time the convention voted for his deposition he was given five Jays in which to step down and out. This time will expire tomorrow night and unless an answer is received from him the army controlled by the convention will take the field.
 From the information received by this government it is made clear that the leaders of both sides in Mexico arc most desirous of peace and that they have the full support of Villa who recently has manifested disposition to eliminate himself entirely if Car ranza does likewise The army Of Villa will be available in case the con vention decides finally to march against Carranza. The latter is said to have lost the greater part of his strength owing to his stubborn re- fusal to meet the wishes of the con yention whose findings he agreed tc until those findings were unfavorable to himself.

SEWARD VOTE Is MUCH
 LARGER THIS YEAR
Not Counting the Women the Voters Were Sixty Five More Than
 Last Election

The Seward vote this year was nearly double what it was two years ago at the last election. The vote then for delegate to congress was one hundred and fifty eight while it was two hundred and ninety five this time. Taking away the seventy two votes of women it leaves sixty five more votes by men this year then at the last election although the last cleo tion was held in August. It was stated on the day after election that 65 women voted in the city but a more careful count shows the mum Der to be seventy two.

JUNEAU DEMOCRATS HINT
 AT ELECTION CORRUPTION

That the democrats of the First div sion feel that all was not right in the election just ended is indicated by a dispatch received by the Gateway yes terday from the Juneau Empire which is the official organ of the people of that party in that division. In .he telegram it is said that "the use of money" during the election induces the democrats to begin a campaign for the purpose of changing the me thodS now employed for election. Be fore giving the telegram in full it is better to state that the editorial in to- days Gateway was written before the dispatch from the Empire was receiv- ed. It is remarked in that ed;toria! that Alaska, without counting the votes of the women, has had as great a vote as it had two years ago when the election was held in August at time when the population of the terri tory must have been larger by at least two thousand grown up people. Without in the least limiting at cor ruption it can be said that registra- tion law as the democrats of the First division advocate, might be beneficial.
 The following is the dispatch from the Empire;
 JUNEAU, Nov. 9.-Use of money in the election against the democrats caused the latter to demand registra- tion, the Australian ballot and the cor rupt practises act in Alaska"
 The telegram also says that Sul- gers majority will be at least 200. He received every vote cast in his home town for senator. This vote was 57.

 EVER BEFORE

 stand along that stream must be abandoned The Rus sians are now advancing fourteen miles daily and have passed Czensochowa the last German position in Russia
 The Germans fell back beyond that position without stop ping or attempting to hold it and it evident that they have given up all hope of stemmng the Russian tide until
 at least they fall back the fortified positions in their own country No fighting of any magnitude has been re- corded during the retreat and Hndenburg has come to the conclusion that battle in the open just would only precpate the defeat which here believed to be inevitable when the Germans do finally make stand
