 the Teutonic armies seems to be clear that the Germans and Austrians are now engaged in titanic movement in which all their millions of soldiers taking part from East Prussia to the Carpathian mountains This
 movement is easily the greatest undertaken and It's results might be such never has been equaed Snoud if succeed it would mean that the Germans from the North and the Germans and Austrans from the south and west could take the mighty Russian hosts between them ana nfict disaster which the imagination cannot grasp it fails it may mean to the Germans and their ales re- treat which would be far greater disaster than that to the grand army of Napoleon in the same country

 COME MEMBERS.

DENVER Dec. 9.-The convention of the United Mine Workers to- day voted to call the coal strike off. The strike breakers now employed in the mines will be given permission to join the union The tent colonies will be continued for the present and Pres ident Wilborn of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company declared that he will employ the men out of work as fast as the opportunity presents itself. He declared, however, that there is a large and lawless element in the section which has been taught to dis regard property rights and these men still occupy the tent colony so that there is still danger that an outbreak may occur unless proper care is taken to guard against it.

AWFUL FIRE DESTROYS
 THOMAS EDISON PLANT

NEW YORK, Dec. 1O.-Eleven out of eighteen buildings of the Thomas A. Edison manufacturing plant were deS- troyed last night by a frightful con fagratiOn which inflicted damage to the extent of seven millions of dollars. The laboratory and workshop of Edison himself were spared by the
 flames and this is regarded as most fortunate as the loss by their des- truction could never be replaced. The plant occupied ten acres of ground at West Orange. In it were employed seven thousand workers who will all begin work today removing the debris under the supervision of Edison him self. Mir. Edison states that the plant will be rebuilt immediately. The fam Ous inventor feels the loss chiefly be- cause it interrupts his work but the flames had hardly died out before he began preparations for the erection of the new plant. No lives are reported to have been lost in the fire.

PRESIDENT AGAIN TURNS

Says Again That it is a Question For the States to Decide Themselves.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Presi- dent Wilson was again visited today by a deputation of women asking him to recommend the introduction of a constitutional amendment in favor of nation wide suffrage but he once more declared the belief that woman suf- frage was a question to be decided by the states separately. Miss Martin of Nevada waited on the president to an nounce formally to him the victory for woman suffrage in her state and Mir. Wilson congratulated her saying that this was the proper way to bring about suffrage for women His answer to the deputation, however, IS taken as a distinct loss to the causes by the women It is now made very clear that he will never consent to aid the proposal for national suffrage and the women expressed keen disappoint- ment

SAYS GOVERNMENT WILL
 BUY ALASKA NORTHERN,
Report in a COrdOya Paper From Washington Says Seward and Matanuska Will Be Joined
 By Fall.

In the Cordova Alaskan of Decem. Der 4 there is a message purpOrting to come from Washington D. c. ir which it is stated that Secretary Lane will make a requisition for S5,OOO,OOO in the general appropriation bill for the purchase of the Alaska Northern railroad and for the building of an extension from it to meet new con strlction at Kern creek.
 It also states that Secretary Lane and Commissioner Edes believe that the railroad will be built from Seward to Matanuska before next fall.
 While many people believe that the statement contained in the COrdOva Alaskan's story is about what will happen the publication of it is probably premature as neither Com missioner Edes nor Secretary Lane would ever have made such a state meut before the report of the com mission has been made and before the president has given an opinion.

ALLIES WAIT TILL SPRING

LONDON, Dec. 1O-All the British and French of
 ca reports indicate that the allies slowly but surely gaining superior positions the Germans and are gradually getting ready for the moment when general aggressive movement against the enemy will be under taken This movement hardly be started before the grand effort will be made of clearing the Germans en- tirey out of France and Belgium is evident that the allied forces do not hope to be able to reach any decision in the western theater during the winter that some months must eapse while the two great armies face each other the beseged trenches far has been expressed in some quarters that the German victory in Poland will enable the Germans to detach mighty forces from the no danger in this respect Russia continue to main tain great armies to face their enemy for practically
 mitless period even though the Germans should take Warsaw.

 further reports that the action between the two fleets last ed five hours. The ScharnhOrst was sunk after three hours fighting and the Gnesenau sent to the bottom two hours later The light German cruisers scattered and were chased by British cruisers and by the British light cruisers No British vessel lost and the report does not say that any of them badly injured otherwise The lack of knowledge to the number of British ships engaged still leads to the belief that exceeded the num- Der of the enemy but the fact that the British admiral able force inferior force to battle is regarded as proof of brilliant ability It is clear also from the reports that the battle fierce while it lasted The names of the British vessels engaged have not even been publish ed and is assumed that among them the two dread naughts which reported off the West Indies some weeks ago going south The Scharnhorst and Gneisenau were each of 11,500 tons displacement The Nurnberg, Leipzig and Dresden in the three four thousand tons class The British people exceedingly anxious to hear the full details but in the meantime they ceebra

THRILLING CHASE PROCEEDS

MONTENEGRO Dec 1O-One of the most thrilling chaSeS on record proceeding in the south Atlantic with the German cruisers Dresden and Nurnberg fleeing at their utmost speed towards the port of Santa Cruz, Argentine and with British warShps pursuing. From the speed which the two surviving ships of the German squadron able to maintain it would appear that they have not been so badly damaged had been supposed but their capture destruction be only matter of time That they will not surrender appears to be certain from the lessons of the present in which every warship engaged has preferred destruction to the hauling down of it's flag The German auxiliary cruiser Prince Eite is now cruising in the South Atlantic with fifteen hundred Ger man soldiers aboard The presence of the soldiers has created the belief that she intends to land them in some created the belief that she intends to land them in some British DOSSeSSiOn

DANIELS SAYS
 NAVY IS SOUND.
OBJECTS TO BUILDING IMMENSE NAVY SUGGESTED BY
 OTHERS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-JosephuS Daniels secretary of the navy stated today that in the light of the exper- fence gained from the European war he would condemn the suggestions made that the United States should have a hundred submarines and fifty battleships. He declared that the pres ident approved the regular, normal increase of the navy This would mean that in the coming year there will be built two dreadnaughts, six destroy CTS, eight or more submarines and one gunboat. The United States navy has now, he said, two hundred and twenty nine ships of which ninety per cent are at present in commission. Mir. Daniels declared he believed universal disarmament practicable.The agitation n favor of increasing the army and navy has assumed large proportions throughout the country and there is apparent a growing belief that the country will have to prepare to main tain her "place in the sun" some day sooner or later.

BRITISH TAKE TURK ARMY ON THE TlGRIS
BRITISH CAPTURE TURK ARMY

LONDON, Dec 1O-The British forces have captured
 whole Turkish army the river Tigrs and by their vic tory have established themselves at a point which is quarter of the distance to the city of Bagdad It is as- Sumed here that the British forces in that part of the world are mostly made up of Indian troops under the leadership of British ocrs and sent by sea up the Persian Gulf from India. The Tigris affords splendid means for penetrating otherwise difficult country and the British forces are making the most of it. There is still every reason to believe that the Turks have made no advance in the direction of Egypt and from the reports from all sides seems to be evident that Turkey is either not yet prepared that its methods of making war are only half hearted.

FLETCHER ON THE NAVY.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 0.-Admiral Fletcher commander of the Atlantic fleet, told the house navy committee today that the United States navy is unprepared to cope with the most powerful navy in the world.
 (Note) This came as it is printed but the wording seems to suggest that the word "unprepared" should be prepared" AS the question of arma- ment promises to be the great one for some time in this country the differ ence in the two words is important and an alteration of the words of such an authority might confuse our opinions.

FDES WIRES FOR FACTS
 ABOUT RENAL RESOURCES

The Seward Commercial club this morning received a cablegram from Chairman Edes of the Alaska Rail road commission that full account of the resources of Kenai Peninsula be secured by the club and forwarded to him at Washington. The club immedi- ately began the work of acquiring all the facts and after compiling an e. haustiye report will forward it to Mir. Edes about the 18th of the present month.
 It is clear from this fact that Pres ident Wilson and others directly in- terested are taking into account the resources of the immediate countries through which the railroad will pos sibly run. AS this paper said some days ago, the president has sure ly not in mind at all the construction of a railroad to some particular point in the interior without considering the possibilities of the sections through which it will pass. In this respect this district possesses infinite advantages

over any other sections which have made efforts to secure the terminal of the trunk line. There is hardly a mile of territory opened by the Alaska Northern railroad which is not rich either agriculturaIly, or in mineral or some other respect. The pass it. self from Resurrection Bay is fertile in resources while the other passes are masses of barren rocks or glaciers.
 These are the facts which the gov ernment is now evidently taking into account. It's request for data relating to the immediate country surrounding the possible sites shows that it's in- tention is to open the BEST C0UN- TRY AND NOT JUST RUN A RAIL ROAD FOR THE SAKE OF JUST RUNNING TT TO SOME POINT SOMEWHERE IN THE INTERIOR.
