Ford CHARTERS Shin,

New York, Nov. 24.-Henry Ford an
nounced today he had chartered the
liner Oscar ii as a peace ship to carry
from New York, December 4, the Amer.
lean delegates to peace conference in
Europe.
Ford admitted that plans for the.con-
ference are very indefinite, the session
he believes, will attract support from
peace advocates in other neutral ma.
tiOns.
"I have chartered the Oscar to call
into life neutral nations confer.
ence," Ford said " How to accomplish
this i will announce later. We are
going to see If we can do any good.
We hope to get the men out Of trenches
by Christmas,
"I hope we will have the support Of
every mother in the world in this great
effort to stop the war, crush militarism
and wipe out forever the talk Of mill
tary preparedness"
While the Oscar is 10000 ton YES
sci, capable of carrying 200 passengers
Ford admitted that possibly only few
delegates will go. Any reluctance OF
peace advocates, however, will not det
or Ford in his mission.
Some authorities raised the question
Of whether such conference, branded
with Ford 's leadership, would be ac
ceptable to England even IL il were 9th
erwise successful. This view arose
from the fact that English papers have
recently refused to accept Ford ads on
the ground that he was inimicul to the
recent allied loan.
Ford recently urged the president to
call peace conference, and will go
there again Friday TO follow up this
request. The president has indicated he
would be willing TO make peace move,
only when there were indications that
the time is ripe without offending any

Final Struggle at Hand.

London, Nov. 24.--With Austrian
capture of Mitrovitza and Bulgar cap
ture Of Pristina, officially reported to-
day, the central powers armies are
now face to face with the Serbs north
ern army. The final fight is evidently
at hand, s-n ao
In the twenty mile gap, between the
towns at the ends Of the historically
famous Plain Of the Black Bird, are
entrenched the indomitably courageous
Serbians. Buffeted across their land
since Nish fell, the Serbs up to the
present have offered wild resistance to
the invaders. They have lost many in
dead and captured, but their spirit is
still ferocious.
Whether the invaders are now in suf-
ficient force to attack Immediately is
unknown, but at any rate, it is be-
lieved that decisive battle on the
bloody Plain OF the Black Bird can be
delayed only few hours. Here his.
tory may be made again.
If the struggle continues long, the
Serbs, it is believed, must inevitably be
captured. The central allies by de-
touring can surround them, provided
they have sufficient time, and then the
Serbs may be crushed as were the
French at Sedan in 1870.
At the best, the Serbs can hope for
no more than to be forced over their
border into Montenegro. Capture Of
their army on the Plain of the Black
Bird or expulsion Of the army from
Serbia will mean that the Teuton- Bull
gar conquest of old Serbia and the San.
jak of Novibazar is complete
The Austro-German are now $50
miles south of the northern frontier,
and less than 12O miles north Of the
southern.

SEWARD COUNCIL .
 HITS THE GATEWAY
Makes Evening Post Official Paper of the City Without the For
 mality of Asking for Bids.

SEWARD, Oct. 6.-The Seward city council at it's regular meeting last night by vote of four to three made the Alaska Evening Post, Sew ards new daily paper, the official or gan of the city. No bids were asked and the Seward Gateway, the pioneer newspaper of the city, was given no opportunity of competing for the off, cial business of the city.
 All four of the councilmen who voted in favor of making the Post the official organ, are alleged stockhold- CTS in the Post Publishing company, and it is stated own majority of the stock. The action of the coun- cilmen in declaring their own organ the official paper of the town is meet ing with severe criticism.
 There is a city ordinance requiring that bids be asked for all work re- quiring the expenditure of city funds, but the alleged stockholders of the Post, in their eagerness for business for their paper, overlooked the ordi- nance.

 MT. Edes reports that twelve hum dred men are now employed on con- struction work on the railroad line from Anchorage to the Matanuska coal fields and states that work will be continued as long as weather con> ditions will permit. The arrival of timbers, the lack of which has re- tarded bridge building, will enable the commission to extend the rails several miles as soon as the bridges and culverts have been built.

MATANUSKA WAS WIDE-OPEN
 TOWN SAYS H. B. NOLAN

On his arrival in Seattle H. B. Mo- Ian, a chemist, who passed through Valdez last July on his way back to the states from Matanuska, and who claimed at the time to have served two months in the French army last fall, reported his experiences at Mat anuska in the following:
 "I am glad that I lived in Mata- nuska, as I saw town that I did not believe could exist in these days. We had real frontier town-open gamb' ling, blind pigs, with their eyes wide open looking for customers, and I even had the pleasure of attending an old fashioned miners meeting, which gave notice to an undesirable individual to get out of town within Ia few minutes. One other person was also declared menace to the prosperity and business life of the city. A miners meeting was held or this case and the offender was order ed to move to the outskirts. The or, der was not complied with and the miners picked up the house, occupant and all, and moved the whole concern bodily"

GRANITE HAS 0RE
 F0R MANY MONTHS
Senator Willard Reports that Mine Does not Lack Ore But Will
 Reduce Working Expense.

A number of miners who have been employed at the Granite mine on Hobo Bay, Port Wells, returned to Valdez last night and a rumor to the effect that the mine had closed down from lack of ore immediately began about the streets.
 When seen by representative of the Prospector Senator B. F. Willard, president of the Granite Gold Min ing company, indignantly denied the rumor that the mine had closed down from lack of ore and made the state ment that the force had been tempo rarily reduced until upraises now be- ing run had been connected with the lead, Tn order that the working ex- penses of taking out the ore might be reduced.
 Since the lead has been struck the pumps have been kept working to fullest capacity pumping water to keep the tunnels clear, and under conditions which have prevailed for the past two months extra expense was necessary in handling the ore owing to the lead being almost in blanket form.
 Senator Willard states that the Granite has ore in sight to last for many months, and that as soon as the ore shutes have been completed the mill will be running full blast again, with the expense greatly re- duceu

E. C. Niles, representing the Rem .ington Typewriter company, returned to Valdez on the Alameda last even- ing from an extended trip to the west ward. He spent several weeks in the : new town of Anchorage and while there secured several splendid pict- ures of the town and of the bay. He reports Anchorage as fast as suming permanent appearance with many substantial business blocks go- ing up and the merchants and others getting in big stocks of supplies in anticipation of the interruption of navigation on Cook Inlet for several months during the winter. Business men, especially hotel and bunkhouse keepers, reported good businesses. The restaurant business of the town is overdone, but Anchorage has sev- eral cafes which have no superiors in Alaska.
 When the townsite was put on the market by the government agents, lots were sold on both sides of the terminal grounds and keen competi- tion is reported by the different fac tions in securing the establishment of new business houses in their par ticular section. The districts are nearly one half mile apart and the main street of the town is about a mile long.

 The ordinance, which was rushed through as an emergency measure, provides a fine of not less than $1O or more than $10O and not over 90 days in jail for those failing to take out the required license.
 One councilman declared that he was tired of seeing the city paying interest on borrowed money to meet the bills of the city while many prop erty owners have failed to pay their taxes and merchants their license tax.
