BERLIN CROWDS
CHEER CHANCELLOR
Won Bethmann-Hollweg's Latest
War Speech Highly Approved
in German Capital.

Berlin, Aug. 81 (by wireless 10
Tuckerton, y. j., Aug. 24.-"That the
German people heartily approve of the
patriotic action OF the Reichstag in
passing the war loan demanded by the
government was made manifest last
night at a patriotic demonstration be-
fore the official residence Of DR.. Theo-
bald Won Bethmann- Hollweg, the I'M
perial German Chancellor says the
Overseas News Agency.
Long before 9 ?. m, the hour set
for the demonstration, thousands of
persons Of all classes gathered in
front Of the historic building, so long
the residence Of Prince Bismarck. In
the crowd were old men and boys,
officers and soldiers, some of them
recovering from wounds and wearing
the Iron Cross decoration; gray
haired veterans of 1S70-'71 proudly
wearing their oldtime war medals and
many women Of all ages. Also there
were seen Red Cross nurses in their
official garb and Boy Scout organlza-
tions in uniform.
"Tbe Chancellor was completely
surprised. When informed that
member Of the crowd wanted to ad-
dress him he ordered the big gates
swung open and entered the balcony,
where he listened to the address. The
speaker. in his brief remarks, dwelt
upon the great speech Of the Chan
cellor in the Reichstag on the loan
vote and on the wonderful victories
Of the German army.
The crowd first sang Deutschland
I-obor Allies and then the old
Lutheran hymn. A Mighty Fortress
Is Our God the Chancellor and his
encourage joining heartily in the sing
ing. After the last verse of the
Lutheran hymn Chancellor Won Beth
-Hollweg stepped forward and
addressed the gathering;
"'What you sang he said, is an
echo Of the battle thunders, our peo-
pies jubilation over the heroic deeds
Of our armies which resulted in Rus
sian strongholds being smashed like
esrthen vessels. With burning hearts
We thank God, who has helped US so
far"

of cotton were abundant In the carrier
months Of the war. and therefore ~
was not necessary to enact any orders
regulating its consumption.
ION the other hand. il has now been
found practical by the government, in
view OF the cessation Of cotton i'm.
ports, TO regulate the production OF
cotton goods in n manner which. under
all circum stances, will insure and
safeguard the supply, no matter how
long the war may last.
Making Of peace Articles" Barred.
The first measure enacted in this re-
spect calls for prohibition in the man
ufacture of certain dispensable peace
articles and it can be truthfully said
that this order is very lenient and
that the textile industry has retained
under il its independence, although
under official control.
Even if this new order does not
permit the manufacture of certain cot
ton goods for the civilian population,
the manufacture of the principal re-
quirements, however. such as under
wear and bed clothes. dress goods and
Innings, is fully permitted.
Furthermore. it was found practi-
cal to prohibit the manufacture OF
goods which. actually dispensable. are
so called peace commodities How
ever. provision has been made in such
cases where public welfare or mainten-
ance of economic life is concerned.
"It was found on close examination
that restrictions in the production OF
dress goods and cloth would not neces-
sarily be detrimental to the trade. as,
in view Of the large supplies on hand
of such goods, the demand for the
civilian population is entirely assured
for very long time. Therefore. TO
produce further supplies of such
goods would be. under prevailing cir
cumstances. waste of raw material,
and such waste must be prevented.
at is considered a safety measure
10 limit the manufacture of cotton
goods to safeguard the supply for the
army and navy, in spite Of the large
supplies of cotton on hand"
Figures recently complied by the
Department of Commerce show that
at the end of July of this year Ger
many had on hand only 670 bales of
cotton, compared with 100000 in the
same month last year. and only $780,
100000 worth of cotton goods. COM
pared with S250.000,000 in July, 1914.

STREET FRACAS IN COURT
Fairbanks News Miner, Feb. 10)


 The municipal court was the scene ot lively though short trial this afternoon, when Roy E. Maddocks was found guilty of assaulting Bion A. Dodge and fined $20 by Magistrate Pauli Neither side had law yer, each representing himself, and only two witnesses were called. The testimony was brief and the cross examinations brlefer.
 It appears from the evidence submitted that Messrs Dodge and Maddocks met this morning about 10 80 o'clock between the entrance to the postofice and the N. C.. hardware store. Dodge testified that Mad docks struck him twice very lightly, the first blow knocking of the formers hat into the snow on the sidewalk He did not see the first blow struck, and says that he the second one No words passed until did not return them Then some pretty strong language was indulged in, and the men went their ways, Some time later Dodge came to the city hall and swore out complaint against Maddocks, charging him with plain assault
 Maddocks in his testimony claimed that Dodge started to cross dlagonally in front of him on the sidewalk, and that he simply pushed him out of the way once, He also claimed that Dodge produced a small billy" or stuffed leather poke and threatened him with it. all of which Dodge enlphatically de nied, claiming to have raised no defense whatever to Maddocks, whom he character ized as a fighting man." while he himself was physically not in it.
 The only actual witness to the assault was Claus Johnson, from the creeks, who happened to be coming out of the post office. He testified that he saw Dodges hat in the snow when he first sighted the two men, and that he saw Maddocks hit Dodge About the profanity which followed he was uncertain, except to be sure he heard it. He did not see Dodge make any defense, nor did he see him with "billy" or a poke in his hand. So far as he could see no damage had been done in the af- fray.
 Adolf Landass, who works for the N. c. Co.,, was shoveling snow thirty or forty feet from the men when he first noticed anything unusual. Then he saw Dodge rrack for his hat The men were separated by several feet of space at that time. Lan- dass thought it was joke, as there was no evidence of violence.

TRAP SHOOTERS
 ORGANIZE CLUB

A great deal of interest was taken in the trap shoot held near the tramway at the edge of town last Sunday afternoon. There was large crowd in attendance, among those present to witness the contests being a number of ladies. The day was perfect and the sport was thoroughly enjoyed
 Being the first time that many of the contestants had shot at clay pigeons, and even the experienced not having had an opportunity for practice in some cases for years, the scores made were not high, but it was demonstrated that there were some experts with the shotgun among Iditarod's sportsmen, and some record scores may be looked for in future shoots.
 A number of the ladies present were induced to try their skill with the shotgun, but Mrs. John c. Currin was the only one who succeeded in breaking any of the blue rocks making three out of five on one oc- casion, which was considered excellent shooting under the circumstances, and was better score than some of the male con- teStants made.
 In the main event of the day, 25 singles at unknown angles, Earl Byers made the top score, with IT, Henry Weir and Harry Watson tied for second place, and in the shoot-ot Watson won out.
 Gun Club Organized
 The interest aroused in last Sunday s shoot has encouraged local sportsmen to or ganize gun club. At meeting held at be fire hall last Monday night an organ ization was effected and plans laid for the holding of regular contests.
 Harry Watson was elected president of the club and Dick Button secretary A board of directors, consisting of the presi- dent, Henry Weir, Ira Wood, Earl Byers and John c. Currin, was also elected, and was instructed to draw up a constitution and bylaws for the government of the club, and also to make the necessary ar engagements for regular shooting contests,
 The organization has met with much encouragement, and it is expected that a membership of at least twenty-five will be achieved. There are at the present almost l score. Besides the 1ditarod enthusiasts, many sportsmen on the creeks have signl fed their intention of joining Those de- sirous of becoming members should com municate with the secretary, MT. Button, at the bank.

SOLDIERS TRANSGRESS LAW
 IN ORDER TO BE SENT HOME

An example was made of four United States soldier prisoners in the United States court at Juneau on February f. when Judge Robert w. Jennings sentenced w. F. O'Shaughnessy, w. l. Moore, H. Daugherty and c. G. Foley to fifteen months i'm prisonment in the federal jail on their pleas of guilty to indictments charging the sale of liquor to Indians.
 That the soldiers had broken the law in order to evade serving out their terms ot enlistment in the army was Judge Jennings charge, a moment before he sentenced them, says the Juneau Empire. You have de lberately committed crime against the United States of America; you have dis, graced the flag you swore to uphold and defend, and you have lowered your self, respect and decency in order that you might get away from duties that you found un- pleasant. It is the judgment of the court that each of you serve fifteen months in the federal penitentiary at McNeil island but that the execution of the sentence be made in the jail at Juneau"
 Not long ago the commanding officer al Fort Seward posted notice from Washing ton that hereafter soldiers who break the laws of the United States in order to get out of the army will be dealt with by the military authorities upon the expiration o their sentences.

PIONEER NEWSPAPERS

Among the visitors attending the state fair at Sacramento Cal, was A. J. Thayer, who has spent a number of years in Alaska, On his last return from the far North Mir. Thayer brought down with him paper the Yukon Press, an 8-page 10xl2 edition printed at Fort Adam, on the lower Yukon, New Years. 1S94-the first paper published in the Interior of Alaska Thayer showed this paper to some of his friends at the fair. The first copy was sold for an ounce of dust-practically $l5. While no publish ers' or editors names appeared on the sheet, 1t is generally believed that the Rev MT. Totty, missionary at Fort Adam, should be given credit for the paper.
 In the year 1898 the Midnight Sun and the klondike Nugget appeared. It has since been disputed question which came out first. A. V. Buel of the Sacramento Bee states his belief that the Midnight Sun beat the Nugget by 3712 minutes. Thayer tells # the great greed of the sourdoughs and chechakos for news Local papers could not supply the demand at p cents copy, while Outside papers a month old sold for S1 apiece.
 E. J. ("Stroller") White was one of the great romancers of the North whose copy was widely and eagerly read; Casey Mo ran, who told of life in Circle City; George Carpenter, writer of Juneau tales, and Dave Tewksbury, who gave inside dope on the gamblers, were the well-known reporters , of that day.
 George Swinehart, owner of the Midnight Sun, was persuaded to put in an art depart ment by Thayer, ,whohel ped him make a casting box from old boiler iron, cut chalk plates from a crosscut saw, and melted ammunition for castings to make the daily illustrations.
 Good copy was plentiful in the land of the North Bob" Service wrote poetry that earned him the sobriquet of the Kip ling of the North" Duncan A. McRae wrote many a clever satire and verse and Sam Durham was another writer of good "stuff. ."-F airbanks News Miner

SWEDISH FISHERMAN'S
 NARROWING EXPERIENCE

kETCHIkAN, Jan. 26-As the gas boat Alert was passing Duke island last week Captain Steers discovered boat near the beach that didn't look just right, and found it to be a gasoline sloop about thirty feet in length, from Prince Rupert, owned by Emel Alfred Norman, Swedish fisherman. Investigation showed that Norman who was on board at the time, had nothing to eat. and had been on the island, his engine having broken down, for several weeks but
 st how long the man did not seem to know. the hardships he had undergone hay ing apparently affected his memory It was with difficulty that he was persuaded to go on board the Alert and get something to eat. fearing that someone would wreck his boat if he left it. At last. however, he con sented, a line was made fast to his boat, and he and it were brought to town. His mental condition was looked into at once and the conclusion arrived at was that a few days of rest and proper food would make him all right agani. During his stay on the island he seems to have subsisted on clans and crabs and such fish as he could easily catch
