(Communicated) APPLIES TO ALASKA

Washington, Sept. 7-Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson announced to- day that, owing to an unlocked for international situation, he will not be able to make a speaking cam paign during the congressional cam paign this month or next.
 The president made his announce ment in 8 letter to Congressman Frank E. Doremus, of Michigan, chairman of the Democratic cam paign committee. h his letter, the president wrote;
 America is greater than any political party-America cannot be properly served by any mau who for the moment measures his interest against her advantage. The time has come for great things. These are days big for the destiny of the United States as it is for the other nations of the world. 4 little wis dom, a little courage, a little self fOrgetful devotion may, Hnder Cod, turn that destiny this way so that great hearts and great natures will respond. Even little men will re ioice to be stimulated and guided by men who set an heroic example bv staying by their duties regardless Of their own individual interests.
 The party will fare well enough without nursing, if the men who make it Up and the men who lead it forget themselves to serve a cause and set a great people for ward on the paths of liberty and peace"
 In this crucial period of Alas kan history the presidents remarks apply to Alaska as well as to the nation. When Governor Swinefor was running for delegate to con- gress, he was asked about his politics and he replied:
 My politics are Alaska I don't think We should try to build up a party in the interests of few of flee seekers. Alaskans should all work together in the interests of Alaska. "-X.

NEW ANTI-TYPHOID
 SERUM IS FOUND
STAFF SURGEON OF THE GER MAN ARMY HAS DISCOVERED A
 NEW SERUM FOR PREVENTION
Experience of German Army in South African Campaign Showed Danger of Disease in the Field.

Berlin Feb. 2s.-A new antity. phold serum is announced bp Staff Surgeon Fornes of the German army He has been experimenting witb a view to lessening the side effects in inOcuation. His new se- rum is comparatively free from albu- men and he believes it a decided improvement over existing serums.
 Notwithstanding his discovery, and the success attending compulsory in oculation of soldiers in the United States, the German military authoci- ties have decided not to adopt a rule for compulsory inoculaton of Ger man soldiers in time of peace
 The report from Washington, showing only two cases of typhoid fever among S0,000 officers and men, compared with 250 to 350 cases an nualy before compulsory inoculation was introduced. has attracted the at tention of Surgeon General von Schiernns, chief of the army sani- | tary corps, and his subordinates. They are quite ready to be convinced that the serum may be an almost certain method of immunization against typhoid but prefer to keep the treatment in seserye and use 1t only in case of serious outbreak of typhoid in wartime
 Lieut.. Col Hoffman, chief staff surgeon. representing General von Schjerning, explains that the rate for typhoid in the German army is ai- ready very low, only 54 to 5S cases per hundred thousand soldiers Oc. curing annually Compulsory inocu- lation in time of peace would meet with considerable objection and is scarcely necessary, The possibility of an outbreak of typhoid during a campaign, such as characterized the | American mobilization for the Span ish.American war. the British cam paign against the Boers and the Rus sian campaign in Manchuria is, how
