Daily Publication Will Not Interfere With the Weekly As It Is Now Printed-T The New Edition Will Be the Biggest and Best
 Daily Newspaper Published in Alaska

assured that the columns will not be filled up with Vigorette advertise ments to fill space, and instead of carrying a dead weight of an anti quated speech on the railroad bill the daily will be filled with live interesting matter.
 For a long time, The Citizen la been designated by other newspapers in the Territory as being the best newspaper in Alaska, and just as it has earned and enjoyed that repu tation as weekly publication, it will be deserving of it as a daily.
 Competition in the newspaper busi ness is just as it is in other lines, for in the end the best will win out. It is with this realization that the owner of The Citizen ill undertake to compete with the other morning publication He will pare neither expense nor pains to make his publi cation the best, and lle knows that he will accomplish this and get more than a share Of the patron age of this field.
 One thing that has encouraged the idea of making The Citizen a daily has been the lack of confidence that is everywhere manifested in the present morning edition, which is not only unreliable in it's news but is nearly always insincere in its editorial expression. When the pub lie reads a newspaper, the people want to feel that the paper's policy

Beginning July l, The Citizen will be published daily, in addition to it's present regular weekly edition. The Daily Citizen will be the biggest and best newspaper published in Interior Alaska, and the people on the creeks will get their Citizen every day on the day that it is published.
 Plans for issuing a daily edition of this newspaper were made sev- eral months ago. and since that time every preparation has been made. The owner of The Citizen realized from the first that to make a success of new daily in this field subscribers must be given some thing better than anything else to be obtained here, and thus the new edition will be bigger and much more complete in every way than any other newspaper published in Fairbanks.
 The Citizen is the only Democratic paper in Interior Alaska, and one reason for beginning the publication of daily edition is to promote the candidacy of the Democratic nominee for delegate to congress when he is chosen by the convention.
 The Daily Citizen will have the same number of pages as the other morning paper, but it will be wider and will contain four more columns. Not only that, but readers can be

MAY PROSECUTE OFFICIALS
OF BANCROFT STATE BANt

Bancroft, s. D., Nov. 23. - With the
arrest. at Des Moines. OF Z. p. Syver-
son, while on his way to Texas, and
with E. A. Syverson. his father, prob
ly, in Canada, further developments are
expected in connection with the recent
action of the officials of the state bank
Ing department taking charge of the
Bancroft State bank. The bank re-
ceived deposits up to the last minute
before h flight of the father and son.
Only a short time before their disap-
p%earance and the taking charge of the
bank by the state banking department
the Syversons had published the regu-
lar quarterly statement showing the
condition of the bank. This statement
listed cash on hand of about s. 5000, and,
including cash in banks, total cash as
sets of S14, 251. The deposits were given
at $50, 595. The bank had a capital of
$4,000 and a surplus fund of ST. 00, with
s 3,072 in loans and discounts.
Z. A. Syverson formerly conducted
a bank at WATERFOWL, S. D., and. ac-
coTding to report, sold the same some
time ago. guaranteeing all of the loans.
Later he purchased the Bancroft bank
OF s.. o. Eggleston, the bank being in
excellent condition. When the loans of
the aWtertown bank, which he had
guaranteed. became due, many of them
proved TO be worthless and the elder
Syverson transferred good paper from
h Bancroft bank to make good TO the
purchasers of the WATERFOWL institu-
ton, replacing IT with the worthless
loans.

Fired As Warning to
U. S. Officials.
FACTS ARE KEPT SECRET

ARE KEPT SECRET

Washington, Nov. 21.-After an N
-nouncement from the White House to-
day that word had come from Captain
Decker, of the cruiser Tennessee that
the firing of the Turkish forts at
Smyrna upon the cruisers launch on
November IL. was not hostile, Secretary
Daniels announced that a portion OF
Captain Decker's first report had not
been made public when received, be-
He announced that Captain Decker's
dispatch reporting the firing, contained
the words "act not hostile, but UNI
friendly"
The navy department announcement
omitted the contradictory phrase, ac-
cording to Mr.. Daniels. In order to YER
lfy 1t and today came word that the
message was correct as originally sent.
Secretary Daniels was unable to *
plain its meaning and said that II
seemed to him an expression OF opinion
by the captain OF the Tennessee, with
out exact knowledge OF what took place
on shore.
The White House View.
At the White House the statement
issued said Captain Decker had re-
ported the firing as mot a hostile act''
the view being taken that the first
part of the phrase meant that the shots
we're not aimed to take effect, but as
> warning. because the port Of Smyrna
was mined and closed.
Secretary Tumulty issued this state
nent after a conference with Presi-
lent Wilson.
'The public already knows what hap
,ened: Namely. a boat from the Tenn
issee tried to enter the harbor, a r
,or which the Turkish government had
declared closed. A shot was fired
tcross her bow to stop her. The captain
Of the Tennessee reports that II was

"A fun investigation of the matter
n explanations have been asked or
the Turkish government. Previous at
tempts to communicate with Ambas-
sador Morgenthau in Constantinople,
have led to delays of as much as a
week"
Secretary Daniels said he had re-
ccived no further messages from Deck
er since the first report and that he
assumed the commander was await
ing Investigation by Ambassador Nor
genthau. Mr.. Daniels said the contra
dictory phrase has been omitted in his
announcement because ii seemed only
an expression of opinion. which in itself
inexplicable,
There Is no intention OF withdrawing
either vessel as some of the American
residents are said to be concerned over
the general conditions in Turkey.

MANY STATE BANKS TO
ENTER RESERVE SYSTEM

washington, Nov. 21.-Every effort
will be made by the federal reserve
board to settle as quickly as possible
the question of entrance of state banks
into the federal reserve system. Appli-
cations, from several score state insti-
tutions, are on file and the pressure for
a decision as to how banks may en-
ter n still retain state charters has
been marked since the IL reserve banks
opened their doors.
The board has determined TO turn
the matter over to a special committee
and IL was the hope Of members that
regulations covering the subject would
be ready for publication mex week. The
principal point to be settled by the
committee, and afterwards by the full
board, Is that of loans on real estate.
Most state banks have authority to
make such loans now, while national
banks do not. A limitation on this
power probably will be suggested by
the committee.

which indicates that he may have been
the victim OF foul play. The county

arrest being made.
Melzer Is GA years of age. OF medium
size, and very gray. He was wealthy
and did considerable private money
loaning. 1t is known that he frequent

desperate persons learned of this and
made way with him to c these
funds.
When his absence was first noted 1t
was believed he might have gone TO
visit relatives at Yankton without in
forming members OF his family of his
Intentions. Telephone communication
with the Yankton relatives developed
that they had seen or heard nothing OF
him. In some quarters ii is believed
he may have wandered AVA while
temporarily ~deranged. Others think he
may have gone to some secluded spot
and committed suicide. but the murder
theory has the greatest number of
supporters.
The missing man Is a German
American and was one Of the first
homesteaders to settle in Spring VAL

Paris. Nov. 21.-Telegraphing from
Athens, the correspondent OF the
Havas News agency transmits the fol-
lowing communications as issued at the
Servian legation in the Grecian capital:
Great Austrian victories are denied.
The Seryian troops retreated from their
positions around Valjevo, which they
had defended for two months against
superior forces. Today they hold more
advantageous positions, and they con-
fidently await the attack of the enemy.
The evacuation of Valjevo, and the re-
treat were effected without incident or
losses. Five cannon had to be aban4
doned on the heights as they could o
be lowered and they were rendered
useless.
NO important encounters have taxi
IN place since the order TO retreat was
given. consequently great Austrian
victories are impossible"
