Finds A Great
 Lake Of Natural Oil

That whole lake of oil, great flowing natural wells and imense streams of the fluid have been dis covered to the northward of Seward peninsula is the amazing statement brought to Nome by the Revenue cutter Bear, and statement proven by photographs taken ana brought here by the discoverer of what ap- parently means nothing less than a vastly greater find than any gol,i fields within the limits of the terri tory.
 Vanvalin is the name of the dis coverer. He was picked up by the Bear at Wainright just south oi lle place of discovery ot the extra. ordinary oil lake. The lake is sit uation between Wainright an1 Point Barrow in the extreme north of Alaska. The photographs talk. en- by Vanvalin show clearly that the lake ot oil is of large extent, that an extraordinary flow of oil is taking place and that some of the channels through which the oil flows have over two feet depth of the fluid. The lake contains oil oi very color and density. The story has created a sensation at Nom. and stampede is sure to result.

The note Of the imperial German gov

received the careful consideration Of the
government Of the United States and it
regrets to be obliged to say that it has

Decisive Action Delayed


1t is not expected, therefore, that de-
cisive actions on any of the fronts will
be fought for few days yet, although
the battle between the Vistula and the
Bug rivers, where the German Field
Marshal Won Mackenzen's army is ad-
vancing toward the Lublin Cholm rail-
road has about reached climax. Here,
according to the German official, COM
nunication issued this afternoon, the
Germans have succeeded in breaking
the obstinate resistance of the Russians
at several points and forced them to
retreat. The Russians. however, have
had much time to prepare series Of
positions and il is believed that they
will make every effort to hold them
until, if it becomes necessary, their
army is able to retire from Warsaw.
South Of Warsaw. in front of the for
tress OF Ivangorod, the Russians. have
retired TO the Vistula river. which,
with its forts and a lack of bridges. it
Is believed must form a barrier which
the Austrians and Germans will find
it difficult TO overcome.
Counter Attacks
The northern German army under
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg also
is reported 10 have made progress; but
il is stated that it has not yet been
able to cross the Narew river. another
natural defense of the Russian triangle
behind the Polish capital. In fact. all
along this front the Russians have re-
sumed their counter-attacks from the
fortress of Novogeorgievsk, but these,
according TO the German accounts,
failed in their purpose. Therefore Ro-
IAN. another If the river fortresses the
Germans declare they have taken and
taken two fortified villages and cap
tured number OF prisoners.
Nicholas Strategy
Opinion here is still divided as to
whether Grand Duke Nicholas, the
Russian commander in chief. will ac-
cept a decisive battle or is simply
trying 10 inflict as heavy losses on the
enemy as is possible before withdraw
ing from Warsaw and the whole Pol
ISL salient to Brest Litovsk and the
Bug river line.
In the Areonne
Severe fighting is still going on in
the Nosges on the western battle
front. but without bringing any very
material changes in the positions of
the opposing armies. 1t is reported
unoflcially that the Germans are
massins troops at ST. Mihiel for a
more extended offensive, but the Off
clal communications do not indicate
that anything in the nature Of a Sc
rious engagement has occurred there
as yet. That the Germans will at
tempt an offensive here is considered
by the military observers quite like
~, as they assert that the recent ac-
tivlty of the German crown princes
army shows they are hoping to weak
