Made Deal on Gasoline.

MT. A. A. Shonbeck has made ar- arrangements with the engineering commission whereby he is to ex- change his shipment of gasoline now lat Seward for an equal amount of the same held here by the commission. The agreement made is very reason able and fair, MT. Shonbeck stating that he would sell the gasoline at the same prices prevailing at the time his goods were carried back to Sew ard on the steamer Farragut, giving the engineering commissioner credit, too, in so generously coming to the rescue at this time. The prevailing price at that time was $4.60 per case, and MT. Shonbeck will continue to sell at that figure.-Anchorage Alas kan.

PREDICTS
 LONG EUROPEAN WAR

VIENNA: The Neue Freie Presse publishes an interview with German Field Marshal von Hindenburg at his quarters, described as being "in one of the most important points of the line of defense which Russia has es- tablished against Germany.
 The field marshal began, in reply to remark concerning his popular ity and his eventual triumphal entry into Berlin, by saying laughingly:
 "I am already frightened about it. If I could have my way I would not enter Berlin at all, but would wear civilian clothing and leave the train Iat Kottbus. I do not like to be feted. Cincinnatus, who returned to the blow, is a beautiful figure.
 However, my entry into Berlin will not come so quickly.
 "At present the enemy won't make peace. They are not yet weakened enough. We must therefore keep it up further"
 Field Marshal von Hindenburg criticised the French demands, par ticularly those relating to Alsace-Lor- raine.
 "If they want it they should come and get it.
 "The British" he continued, Zap pear also to have decided to continue the war. It is true that reports come from India that ought to dampen the British lust for war somewhat, but one must wait and see whether these reports are true. Great Britain has her Achilles tendon; am not refer ring to India alone.
 'In Russia also the emperor and government plainly desire continue |tion of war The most remarkable thing is that all these nations do not see that they are only sacrificing themselves for Great Britain. It does not look like peace and so Germany cannot sheathe her sword" The field marshal declared that every German would rejoice if an end were put to the terrible blood-letting but that Germany must carry on the war, which was forced on her. When questioned concerning the military situation, the field marshal said:
 "Our tactical position is excellent. Especially in the east the German army has reached the most favorable strategic position conceivable"
 The German chieftain also asserted that the Russian human material was much poorer than in the first year of the war; that Russia could fill the gaps with the reserves now mustered, but could not form new armies. Lack of officers was also hindrance. Russian assertions that their de- feats in July and Aug. were due to lack of ammunition were only poor excuses said the fieil marshal who added:
 There are no signs that the de- IIuOTklILhLAOA Ol SuS RuSoAdA uy OU- served then has been overcome" He said he did not expect another Russian offensive, but was ready for one; the nature of the warfare had made the war one of ammunition. The extension of warfare all over Europe was danger for Napoleon and the reason of his fall, said the German commander, but it played no role in the present conflict in view of mod ern railroad facilities. He concluded by saying:
 "I should be especially pleased at the destructive defeat of the Italians. This war must not end without the three principal sinners-Great Brit ain. Serbia and Italy-receiving just punishment. t.'-Chicago Herald.
