guard for the protection of Japanese
citizens in Honolulu. The. meeting
was opened by DR.. NJ. Negoro, chair

dition existing at the present time" be
brought to the attention of the police

VAUDEVILLE IS
RAGE THIS week

Vaudeville is the rage this week at
the Popular theater. The three acts
running at Manager Hughes Hotel
street house drew another large and
appreciative audience last night, and
together with the program of moving
pictures furnished entertainment that
pleased the patrons. The three vaude-
vile features were all given applause,
and recalls were the rule.
Miss Hamilton and Mr.. Barnes re.
peated their previous successes in
their clever and witty skit entitled
Just Fun" Their bright repartee on
the street. in which a wheelbarrow
served part of the time the purposes
Of 4 settee, kept the audience in q
roar of laughter.
Miss Annie Kent sang some more
of her original songs, and danced just
as gracefully as ever. Her constant
patter fairly teemed with humor and
her comedy was clever Miss Kent's
popularity is increasing as the week
lengthens, and 1t seems to be no trou
BILE for her to win new friends and
admirers,
The same may be said of Fred Dwy
er, the Welsh boxer-soloist, who gives
one Of the best acts seen here In q
long time. Dryer is. clever with the
gloves, light as panther upon his
feet, sings we'll in rich BARTON voice
and gives some valuable directions as
to how to train your body to be
healthy. -

PARIS, Dec. 27. - The government issued an official communique this af- ternoon. stating that another French steamer had fallen victim to an enemy submarine The latest sufferer is the passenger steamer Villede Lacoitat, with large list of passengers, which was attacked without warning in the Mediterranean. The ship was tor pedoed and sunk last Friday, and the survivors have just reached land, hay ing been two days at sea in life boats. Some of the passengers perished, but definite advices have not been re- ceived as to how many, or who they were. The captain telegraphed his company at Marseilles that most of the passengers had been saved.

XMAS MAIL WAS PROMPT
 DELIVERED

Sunday was an exceptionally busy day at the Cordova postoffice, as the steamers Admiral Evans and North western brought practically all of the Christmas mail, and a train arrived with the interior mail.
 There were nearly 400 sacks of mail received, and the local office was strewn with parcel post packages. The employees were kept on the jump, but succeeded in getting out all first class mail, as well as the parcels, for delivery last evening. After this had been done and the general delivery window kept open until nearly Il o'clock D. m., big dispatch of mail for interior Alaska was gotten out and left on this mornings train.
 The public showed it's appreciation of the extra effort made by the postal employees, and they felt fully repaid in doing this gratuitous work, which the department neither pays for or seems to appreciate.

ALLIES PLAN AN OFFENSIVE.
 MOVEMENT

ATHENS, Dec. 27. - That Greece is no longer fearing that she will be forced into the war is apparent from & royal decree which was isued today demobilizing two auxiliary classes of Greek troops. General Castelnau, the chief of the French general staff, is in the city and has held frequent con ferences with the Greek officials. He had long audience with King Con- stantine yesterday, and assured the monarch that the central powers would find 1t impossible to oust the allies from Saloniki. He said that the French and English are preparing to launch a strong offensive against the Bulgarians, and felt assured that the movement would be successful, as the country was particularly favorable for such a campaign, the army having saloniki as its base of supplies.

NEW YORK, Dec, 27. - The heav- lest storm in years swept this section of the Atlantic seaboard Christmas and yesterday, and inflicted a tremen- dous amount of damage on property, particularly in the rural districts. The storm centered over New England and New York. but it's severity was felt as far south as Virginia. It rained, showed and hailed. accompanied by lightning and thunder. The wind reached a high velocity, and many buildings were unroofed in this city. Full details of the damage cannot be secured, as the telegraph wires are down in all directions. and only few main wires are still doing service. Many ships were driven ashore along Cape Cod, and in Martha's Vineyard In New York City eight people per ished as result of the storm.

CLAM PLANT ID BE BUILT ON
 CITY DOCK

H. A. Sprague, president of the Lighthouse Packing Company. of Ore gon, arrived in Cordova Sunday, &C., companied by his wife, and a party of twenty-four people, to establish a clam factory here.
 A temporary location has been se- cured on the city dock where the Alaska Transfer Companys large warehouse will be equipped as a plant, the machinery for the same having all ready arrived. MT. Sprague will op- crate on a small scale for a couple of months.
 Next March he intends erecting a large building on the dock, which will be 6Ox120 feet, and possibly two stories. In order to put up this structure it will be necessary to drive new piling. A two line plant will be installed, with a capacity of from 500 to 700 cases a day. The output will be handled from the city dock to the ocean terminal by the railroad.
 MT. Sprague spent several weeks here last fall making a thorough in- vestigation of the clam beds in this vicinity, and satisfied himself ths. here was a good field for a plant. He found that the claims were very Ius- cious, and the supply sufficient to operate on a pig scale.
 There are twenty-six people in MT. Sprague's party, representing a num- Der of families. These were busy to- day securing homes and practically all of them have arranged. for cabins, and expected to be settled in few days, and will be quite an acquisition to our town.

BATTLE CENTERS VICINITY IF
 SALON|k|

LONDON, Dec. 27. - Reports from the Balkans are conflicting. The chief question is as to what course of ac- tion the Teutons and Bulgarians, crouching on the Greek frontier, will take. Some advices assert that the Teutons under the leadership of Mac. kensen are steadily preparing for an offensive in conjunction with the Bul. garians and Turks. According to these rumors the central powers plan to force the fighting down through Greece towards Salonik and force the allies to evacuate that city. Others say that the Bulgarian gen erals are opposed to taking the of fensive, as they fear to make an at tack because of the nature of the country between the border and Sa- loniki. According to these experts if Bulgaria should attempt to advance, they would be caught between two fires in the strip of territory extend. ing to the sea. One allied army would attack along the railroad running from Gievgeli to Saloniki, while an- other force would harrass the Bull garians from the other side along a line stretching from Doiran to Sa- loniki.

The Turks made a mass attack on the British positions last Saturday, but were driven back with a loss of seven thousand in Filled and wounded. The British losses were under two hundred.

LANE WANTS TO SEE COUNTRY
 DEVELOPED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. - In his forthcoming annual report Secretary Lane says that the government should continue it's systematic cooperation inAe development of Alaska. He urges that the confusion in admins trative action in Alaskan affairs should be abolished. Tt would be too hazardous a thing to surrender these resources to local control or disposal for those who have lived in any new country know the temptation is to grant away waterfront and power sites, forests and other exceptional resources to those who come offering large sums for quick improvement. Yet this should not drive us into a po4ey that makes slow administration a necessity.
 The confusion in administrative action in Alaska is well known. have tried to give it currency that it might hasten the establishment of some method of co-ordinated control of Alaskan affairs, primarily in the hands of a resident commission, but always in touch and responsive to the wish of Congress and the President through one of the departments. That land has a mysterious charm, a pull which affects all who set it and those. too, who know indirectly of it's large ness, it's grandeur and it's economic possibilities. This could not be bet ter illustrated than by the number of applications for places which were received by the Alaskan engineering commission. When that body left for Alaska in the spring the number was over 3S,000, and most of those who applied were not out of work, but already held positions with railroads, in banks, on farms, or in some city shop. They wished a taste of the large life of this new land. There are many more of the same desire, some of whom will make Alaska rich CT by their presence and find Jhappi- ness in searching out the land"
