to Command Armv Corn.

LONDON. October GA dispatch from
Rome to the Exchange Telegraph Com
pany gives another reason for the
resignation of Gen. Tassoni, the under
secretary of state for war. 1t says he

corps.
Previous dispatches had reported
that the resignation of Gen. Tassoni
was due to disagreement with Gen.
Grandi, the war minister.

Treaty ReaMrmed.

A treaty of long standing between
the two countries, providing for mu-
tual protection, was reaffirmed at the
outbreak of the present war, he said.
and that action ratified by the Por-
tuguese cabinet September %. Great
Britain sent a cruiser to Lisbon on that
date to fire a special salute to the Por-
tuguese flag in recognition of the act.
Legation officials believed reports of
military activities in Portugal probably
arose from the fact that force of 500
men left for Portuguese south east AZ
rica recently aboard British ships.
PortugaPs course in regard to the war
will in no way affect Spanish neutral
ity, according to statements made to-
day at the Spanish embassy here. A
popular canvass made throughout Spain
by one Of the leading newspapers, it
was said, had showed that practically
the entire country favored neutrality.

British Minister Explains.

The British minister at The Hague
today expressed the regret of the Brit
ish government at the incident. says a
dispatch from that capital He ex-
planned that the bomb was dropped ac-
cidentally by an aeroplane which had
lost it's bearings. There is no infor-
nation yet whether the Dutch govern
ment will consider the regrets and ex-
planation adequate, in diplomatic
phrase, to "close the incident"

Aeroplane Swoops Down.

An aeroplane had swooped down to-
ward the roofs of the town and drop
ped bomb. The projectile fell near
the Brussels gate of the old town, tore
limbs from trees, ripped gashes in the
walls of a house and shattered a num-
Der of windows. Several citizens at
tempted to follow the course of the
aeroplane in motor cars, but it soon
was lost to sight.
The Dutch government Immediately
took steps to inquire of the German
and Belgian governments whether any
flying man of their armies was re-
sponsible for the unpleasant surprise.
The sequel developed the next day
when the British press bureau an
nounced raid by British aviators
aimed at the Zeppelin establishments
in Dusseldorf and Cologne. The Brit
ish aerial expedition started from Ant
werp, and while the section bound for
Dusseldorf reached it's destination, the
Cologne contingent confessed that it
lost it's way in the fog.

Request Is Significant.

There was every reason to believe
that the conference was confined en-
tirely to a discussion of these various
treaties, and that the European war
was mentioned only in passing, if at
all.
1t was regarded here as significant,
however. that Secretary Bryan should
undertake negotiations looking to the
inclusion of Germany among the ma
tions with whom the United States has
made peace conventions at this time,
when that country is engaged in war
Such treaty would commit the Ger
man government to a recognition of
the propriety and reasona blenesS of
dealing with international issues by
peaceful means, it was pointed out,
and the suggestion was not lacking
that an underlying motive for the ad-
ministration's effort might be the de-
sire to smooth the way at this moment
for the conference that must. in the
end, terminate the war in Europe.
Would Pave Way for Greater Project
Negotiations of a similar nature al
ready have been opened with Japan
1t was argued here that should both
Japan and Germany sign peace trea-
ties with the United States, joining the
great array of powers already bound
by such agreements. the way would be
opened for the next step, an invitation
to these powers to regard peace trea-
ties originally negotiated between each
of them and the United States, as bind
ing upon them generally with respect
to one another.
Although this project can be regard
ed as yet as scarcely having passed the
stage of speculation, negotiations with
Germany and Japan will be watched by
officials here with closest interest be-
cause of their possible bearing upon
the broader questions of the restora-
tion of peace in Europe and the ex-
tension of the peace treaty plan to the
relations of all nations with one an
other.

j. S. RENEWING PEACE
EFFORTS, IS BELIEF
Visit of Rernstorf to Bryan Leads
to idea That Administration
Is Active.

Belief prevails in official and diplo-
matte circles that the Washington ad-
ministration is making renewed efforts
at least Informally, to bring about
peace in Europe. This conviction was
strengthened by the long conference of
Count Won Bernstorff. the German am
bassador, with Secretary Bryan at the
State Department yesterday.
Neither the Secretary nor the ambas-
sador would discuss the purpose of the
visit, although it is known that the
diplomat made special trip from New
York in response to a telegraphic re-
quest sent by Mr.. Bryan. He left the
Secretarys room carrying copies OF
peace commission treaties negotiated
by Mr.. Bryan with various countries,
and is understood to have been asked
to forward these promptly to Berlin.
The treaties are typical of all the
peace conventions upon which Mr..
Bryan has been at work, although they
differ somewhat in detail.

LONDON, Oct. S.-London papers are unanimouns in the opinion that England will not soon suffer famine. Imports of grain have been largely in excess of normal because so many continental ports have been closed up to the present time forty-eight cargoes of grain destined for con- tinental ports have been landed in England.
 The paths to Canada and the United States are now open and regular steamer service between Archangel on the White Sea and London has been established which will make it possible for Russia to continue it's shipments of butter and eggs to Eng land.
 At present the stocks of meat in London warehouses ar said to be 60 per cent above the average, while the wheat, maize and barley stocks are 150 percent, 200 per cent and 600 per cent. respectively above the average. More than 6,OO0,000 gallons of pet roleum not intended for England found their way here because of the closing of continental ports. Ships bearing print paper have resumed sailing from Norway and Sweden so it seems likely newspapers will not be short of white paper.

LONDON, Oct. S.-The rapidity with which the wounds of soldiers are healed, and the practical absence of blood-poisoning cases, has been sur prise in view of the deadly effect iveness" of the modern army weap- ons. II s,
 "The antiseptic treatment of wounds almost immediately after their infiiction has great deal to do with the fact that cures are effected in such a short time as has been de- monstrated in the London hospitals, said one of the physicians in atten- dance upon the wounded British sold iers.
 While surgery has made wonderful strides in the last decade, the results might have been different were it not that the antiseptic preventive meas ures have been applied with the ut most efficiency.
 Another very important reason lies in the fact that the bullet fired from a modern rife travels with such velocity as to obviate the danger of g ragged wound, and unless a vital or. gan lies in the path of it, the recovery presents no over-difficult problem.

BERLIN, Oct. S.-The following de- scriptions of the devastation at Liege and Namur are translated from ac- counts in the Tageblatt.
 "We reached Liege on the evening of stormy day. We travelled through streets where the smoke of burned houses was still curling upward, streets that showed no signs of life. Patrols marched through the city. The beautiful shops across from the univ ersity were field of ruins. l was told that two nights before, on August 21- st, shots came from these shops as if by prearrangement. The inhabitants of the houses were dragged out, the women were torn from the men, and whoever had a weapon in his hands was shot. In few minutes the streets was sown with corpses. The houses were set on fire"

LONDON, Oct. 9.-Through ef- forts of the War Office 150 military hospitals have been organized in Great Britain. These have been averaged in groups and each has an administra- tive center. Practically all the sick and wounded returning from the con tinent are received at Southampton, and from there those whose condition is the most serious are sent to Royal Victoria Hospital, Netley, and the others are distributed where their cas- es can be handled to the best ad- vantage.
 Rheumatism, brought on by ex- posture makes the conditions of some of the injured very pitiful.
 Some typhoid has been reported among British soldiers in the field Sir William Osler's suggestion that the American army's plan of in noculating all soldiers against typhoid be adopted is generally supported by the press.

That the European war will not eff feet the building of the government railroad in the least is the statement made by Delegate WickerSham last night in answer to a question.
 "The government has alreary made provision" said Mir. Wickersham "to meet all the losses in revenue. After the collection of the war revenue taxes the treasury will have just the same amount of money as it would have if no war had occurred. There fore there is absolutely no reason to believe that the war will have any eff feet whatever on Alaskan matters" !"

DEMOCRATIC CLUB REMOVES PRESIDENT FOR INTRODUC-
 ING DELEGATE

By unanimous vote the democratic club of Seward removed it's president, Dr. Charles Daggett, from office last night and also declared him no longer a member of the club because he introduced Delegate Wickersham at the meeting addressed by the dele gate Wednesday evening. John Noon, member of the executive committee, was also removed from the rolls and consequently from office. MT. Noon was present and entered into a dis cussion but retired when the reso!u- tion was passed. pr. Daggett did not attend the meting.
 When it was found that Dr. Dag gett had introduced Mir. Wickersham the club called special meeting at the store of George Phelps, the com mitteeman for this district. Vice President Root occupied the chair in Jlle dDoclCt Ol lilS piSoihOhN oh' stated that the object of the meeting was to discuss the action of the presi- dent and any other member who re- fused to support the candidate of the party. Mir. Noon declared that he sup ported Wickersham and asked if he could remain. After rather heated discussion the resolution was passed removing him from the club and he left.
 Some further discussion took place before T. w. Hawkins moved that pr. Daggett be removed from the roll of membership and, therefore, from the presidency. The resolution was carried unanimously.
 New officers were then elected to fill the places made vacant by the re- movals. Vice President Root was el- ected president and Wayne Blue was elected vice president, to take Mir. Roots place. D. c. Mathison was elected on the executive committee.
