GERMANS AND ENGLISH PLAY
 FOOTBALL CHRISTMAS DAY

The following letter was written to the London Times by a piper in the Scotch guards of the English exped- itionary force in Flanders:
 We had d glorious time of it on Christmas day. There was keen frost and snow falling slightly. on Christmas eve the Germans shouted from their trenches, which are only 100 yards from ours, in these terms: "A merry Christmas, Scottie guardie. We are not going to fire tomorrow; we will have d holiday and a game of Football" Our fellows agreed Next morning, sure enough, the Germans came out of their trenches and began to saunter over to ours, unarmed At this our chaps went over half way to meet them. They greeted one another like the best of friends and shook hands.
 You would have thought the war was at an end. We exchanged cigarettes for cigars, tobacco, etc. They brought

The Brthday of Bobby

Perhaps never since the words were penned by the immortal bard of Scot land, "Some ha' meat and canna eat, and some ha' none that want it," has the world so fully realized the con. dition. But the Douglas Caledonian Club is preparing to celebrate the birthday of the poet, January 25th, and on that occasion they will be able to complete the quatrain by adding, "But we ha meat and we can eat, and so the Lord be thaukit." The celebration will be held in Eagle hall, and Frank Rob ertson, John Mills and Alex Kiloh are the committee in charge.
 All Scotchmen of Douglas Island, Iuneau and Thane are invited to at tend.

The Commercial Club

Citizens of Douglas to the number of two score or more met at A. l.. U. hall Sunday afternoon at2 o'clock for the purpose of organizing a commercial club. At the appointed hour Mayor O'Connor rapped for order and stated briefly the purpose of the meeting. He asked Postmaster Jack Henson to act as temporary secretary, and then called for the nomination of officers to have charge of the formation of permanent organization. Chas. A. Hopp was SC. lected to preside, Elmer E. Smith was elected secretary, and Martin Olson, treasurer.
 After some discussion it was decided that the name of the organization should be The Douglas Island Com mercial Club, and that the initial fee for members and the first years dues should be S5, payable in advance. Forty one men came forward and signed the roll. On motion, J. r. uen- son, F. M. Simpson and Elmer D. Smith were arpoiUted a committee to draft by laws. A second meeting will be held on next Sunday afternoon, at the same time and place to perfect the or gauizatiou. Meanwhile it is expected that all business men of the city will be invited to be present at the next meeting and become members of the club.

 Last Saturday afternoon a party of Douglas little folks, chaperoned by Mrs. II. II. Schuman, took the o'clock ferry for Thaue, where they were enter tained by Mrs. Ed. Hurlbutt in cele- bration of the 10th birthday of hath- leen Mccormick, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Richard Mccormick, of this city. Besides those mentioned, other guests from Douglas were: Augusta Knispel, Rita Mccormick, Agnes Patterson, Charlie Patterson, Helen Sergeant, Ethel Sergeant, Walter Mccormick and Kathleen Tolch and Merl, Hoddy and Lucille Smith, of Thane.
 Hose Company No. met at the city hall Monday night. The committee provided a lunch which was thoroughly enjoyed. although for a time the dis cussion of Ere department matters be- came so absorbing that the lunch was neglected. This company, with the ad dition of new blood, has taken a fresh start. Itis now planned to limit the mem bership and to weed out all those who have lost interest and fail to att tend the meetings. A special team has been appointed to have charge of the chemical, and the balance of the com pany will look after the hose cart and ladders. The reforms suggested, if carried out, may affect the entire de- partment. The boys are in dead earnest and Douglas property owners cannot do better than to give them every eu. couragemeut.
 What is thought to be the beginning of the 6ual inning in the long delayed settlement of the trouble between the government on the one side and Father Duncan, the aged missionary, on the other. occurred Thursday. A break in the water pipes necessitated repairs, and the superintendent of the govern. meut school ordered some of the na. tives to proceed and do the necessary repairing. It was not long before Father Duncan appeared aud claimed the property as his own, and ap- parently made threatening remarks. Fearing bloodshed, the superintendent appeared before the commissioner and swore Co a warrant of arrest for both Father Duncan and his main supporter, R. Houston, a native. They were brought to town aud entered plea of not guilty. Father Duncan explained that he had made no threats other than having said that to interfere with his property might lead to bloodshed. Father Duncan has expressed his de- sire for a dismissal of the charge for the time being at least, as he purposes taking a trip to Washington, D. C. He was allowed to return to Metlakahtla on his promise to appear next Wed- nesday.-Ketchikan Progressive.

 With Company.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.--The name of Ambassador Bernstorff was COZ nected with the alleged German con spiracy today when Dr. Karl Buenz, president of the Hamburg American, Steamship company. testified that Ambassador Bernstorff. as the rep c. sentative of the German government held a contract with the steamship company whereby the Hamburg American company was bound to help the German warships in case of a war
 Dr. Buenz stated that the contract he believed, had been in existence since the steamship company was or ganized and thinks that all German steamship companies are subject to the same rule. He admitted under cross examination that a number of American ships had been chartered to carry fuel and food to the war ships and said that ships had been sent into the Pacific to coal cruisers there.

It is stat ed that the railroads throughout the country are prospering as never be- fore and it is predicted that braEcE lines which have been under contem- plation for years will soon be under construction.
 The earnings for the Pennsylvania raiIEpad for the month of October 'w4ls36, 100000, an increase of more than $5,OOO,OOO over the cor responding month last year.
 The New York Central X Hudson River railroad shows an increase of eI,3oO,000 during October over the corresponding month in 1914.

 The Steel Corporation October statement shows that it's thrilled or ders increased eight hundred and forty-seven thousand tons. This is m unparalleled record but is only in keeping with all other developments 1n the current markets.

WEEKS OPPOSES
 TOO MUCH LAW
Believes Country Would Be Better Off If Congress Would Adjourn
 and Not Meet Five Years.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-United States Senator John w. Weeks, of Massa- chusetts, who has announced his can. didacy for the Republican presiden- tial nomination, is opposed to gov ernment ownership on the grounds that it is expensive and fails to give service such as privately conducted enterprises At recent banquet he declared that the country was bur dened with too many laws and be- lieved the country would be better off if Congress; would adjourn not to meet again for five years.
 He believes the postoffice depart ment should be conducted by private capital but thinks that such a change would be impossible under present political conditions. He predicted that government interference with business had passed the high water mark and that in future private cali- tai would be free to develop the re- sources of the country.
