HELEN KELLER MAY
 SOON WE'D SECRETARY

BOSTON.-Helen Keller one of the worlds most remarkable women blind and deaf and dumb, still she was taught to speak. is to be mar lied soon, it haJ been learned here.
 Peter Pagan, her secretary, a for mer Boston newspaper man, applied at the city hall here recently for a license to wed Miss Keller, accord ing to City Register Edward w. Me Glennen.
 The application was denied be cause Pagan insisted on absolute secrecy until the marriage became fact.
 The report is denied by Pagan himself, who declares the rumor to be the "wilde~t thing 1 have heard in a long time." But acquaintances say that the only reason for secrecy is the opposition to the match of fered by Mrs. John Macy, the wo man who has been Miss Keller's teacher since early girlhood.

WILSON SENDS NOTE TO
 BELL|CERENT NATIONS

rassed in making the suggestions at this time. for the req on that it may seem to have been prompted by a desire to play part in con necton with the recent peace over lures of the Central powers. To both sets of belligerents he says that his note was in no way sug gested by ,uch oyertures, but by the object which both sides of the controversy have in mind and which are virtually alike, that is, peace All of the warning nations have aired their opinion on the German peace proposal to their people and to the world, but as yet the concrete ob- jccts of the war have never been definitely stated. Tn the President opinion, as expressed in the note an interchange of views on the part of all nations concerned would clear the way at least for conference and make a concord of nations i'm mediately practicable.
 The note was a distinct surpri. Q to all official Washington But after it was published in full some of the chief administration officials, as we'll as foreign diplomats, expressed the opinion that the note has i'm measurably improved the prospects for some sort of an exchange look ing toward peace discussions At the White House tonight no state ment could be obtained as to wheth- CT any of the belligerent nations had intimated through their representa- tiyes how they would receive such a communication.
 At the British embassy consider able surprise was expressed when it was learned that President Wilson had dispatched his mediatory note In fact, the British ambassador was utterly taken by surpri,e when he learned of the contents of the note

H. A. GRANT AND TEDDY GlEA- SON ARRIVE IN FAIRBANKS FROM SCENE OF NEWEST PLA- GER EXCITEMENT IN THE TAN ANA VALLEY.

Teddy Gleason and H. A. Grant,
 two prospectors, arrived in town yes terday afternoon from the scene of the newest placer excitement in the Panama valley, the find made in
 what Is known as the Toklat coun- try, which is contiguous to the Kan tishna country. They state that they have nothing new to report except that pay prospects have been found
 there, although none of the pros pectors have reached bedrock. There the present time, as the district is hard one to reach. The scene of the new find, which was first reported at Nenana by Fred Hou rel man, who is said to have taken
 $1,00O in gold out during the late fall, is on Moose creek, which is about 125 miles from Nenana, ac-
 cording to the two recently arrived prOspectors.
 The shaft sunk by Houselman is
 reported to be about twenty-two feet deep. But, like Gleason and Grant
 and other prospectors, he did not
 find bedrock, according to the re-
 port The shaft sunk by Gleason and Grant was put down only twelve
 feet, but they are exhibiting a few
 coarse colors which they took out as indisputable evidence that there is gold there. They are of the opini
 on, however, that nothing has yet been found which would warrant a stampede. They had intended to freeze" the hole down through the thawed ground which underlies the surface and which prevents the sink ing of shafts to bedrock by ordinary means, but their grub gave out and they had to come in for an outfit. They will start back with their out fit within the next day or two, prob ably tomorrow.

Associated PTcSs)

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Dec 20 Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, sent a note to all of the belligerent nations of Europe last night urging them to a discussion of peace terms. The fact that the note was sent did not leak out until today, and it's content, were not made public until tonight The note does not actually propose peace, nor does 1t contain an offer of media tiOn on the part of the United States government. It is very formal in its nature. merely suggesting that an ea.ly occasion be sought to call out from the belligercnt nations of Europe such an avowal of their re speCtiye view on negotiations which might make it frankly possible to compare them and to evolve some scheme to conclude the war in Eu- rope. The note is best summarized in the Presidents own words, as given out by White House at tache this afternoon, to the new, paper men. He spoke as follows:
 "The President is not proposing peace He is not even offering me diation. He is merely proposing that soundings be taken in order that the United States and other neutral na- tiOns, a. well as all of the bellig erents,, may learn how near the haven of peace may be for which all mankind longs with an intense and increasing longing He believes that the spirit in which he speaks and the object which he seeks will be understood by all concerned, and he confidently hopes for a re- spOn V from all of the warning pow CTS which will bring new light into the affairs of the world"
 The President also stated in the note that he was somewhat embar-

Many stocks have reached the levels of a year ago, when the United Stateg was not manufacturing as much ammu milton and war supplies as it is al present, and it is well known tact that increased buying of war material in this country was what caused the stocks to rise so steadily in price in the fir~t place. and that the possibilities that a peace con ference will be arranged for have occasioned the declines

(Associa ted Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 19.- Delayed)- increase of from ten to twenty per cent for govern ment employees receiving less than $1,S00 per year are provided for in a bill which has just been passed in the house. The bill also provide. for an increase in the salaries of secretaries to representatives of $500. They are now getting salary of $500 a year. About 10000 people will be affected by the raise in sal ary, under the provision of the bill, if it is passed and signed by the Pre-. ident
 The increase means an additional governmental expense of fully thirty nine million dollars annually. The statistics regarding the increase were secured from the treasury de partment.
 Before the bill was passed Rep resentative Fitzgerald, chairman of the appropriations committee, fought it to a standstill on the floor of the hou1e, objecting vigorously to the in creases. He said that huge deficit already confronts the government, and that the passage of such a bill was folly of the worst kind. He further declared that the government, in order to pay it's expenses during the coming year, must raise five this year than last.

PRESIDENT WILSON AND HIS CABINET OFFICERS ANXIOUS " LOOKING FOR WAYS AND MEANS TO CUT DOWN THREAT FINED DEFICIT.
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 1S (Delayed) President Wilson held a conference with the members of his cabinet Jouay at which ways ant means to raise revenues to meet the deficit which threatens at the end Df the fiscal year, or June 30, 1918, were considered It Is understood in regard to the matter, although several methods of raising fund were preached by the various cab net members
 Among the methods considered was a bond issue This was opposed b. President Wilson for various reason A report from the conference, how ever, is to the effect that the Presi dent would consider a bond issue tt meet governmental expenses of . temporary nature. It was also stat ed here this evening that the Presi dent will probably address congress in regard to the matter at an earll date.
 It is also stated that the President and his advisors decided that the expenses must be curtailed For this reason the President will request that the rivers and harbors bill be limited to urgently nece sary eXpen- ditures. It is stated, however that many new river and harbor projects will be favorably passed upon. al though they will not be included in this years bill of appropriati fol economy's sake.
