GEORGE CARPENTER
 IS NOW AN AVIATOR

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Georges Carpenter, the sensational young French boxer who before the war was looked on as the most logical man to uncrown Jack Johnson, lost his first ''bout" in the world war. Carpenter is now a Sergeant Aviator in the French Flying Corps, and has seen extensive service in the air.
 In letters to friends here, Carpen- tier describes his adventures and mournfully depicts the loss of his first brush with the enemy, but he says there will be another battle and when it comes it will be death deci- sion-no throwing in the towel, nor faking.
 Carpentier relates that he got his pilots license after only two months apprenticeship. He was given new Maurice Farman 130-horse power bi- plane and was employed in recon noitering over Alsace.
 One day he was assigned to patrol duty, and while he paced his "beat" high in the clouds German aviator, or "aviatik" came into view.
 "I immediately gave chase" he writes, but the Boche's machine was much fleeter than mine and-rue the day!-he outdistanced me. can only describe the feeling by saying it was like going into a ring against man many stones heavier than yourself. have fought and whipped many ad- versaries under similar hanlicaps, but, alas! I could do nothing"
 During the chase, Carpenters machine was hit twice by the German, who fired over hundred shots at him but he himself was untouched.
 Georges has had many narrow escapes during the war but with one exception has. come through un- scathed.

|. s. TO ACT AT ONCE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-Presdent Wilson arrived at the Whitehouse from Hotsprngs this morning and inn medaey declared that the very moment the fact connect ed with the topedong the Persia and Gengye have been established action will be taken He has called Chairman Stone and other members of the foreign rela tons committee into conference and is probable that the relations between the TeutOnc empires and this country will be discussed from all sides with view to preparing public mind for whatever action might be deemed neceS Sary While President Wilson himself has made no direct statement his secretary J. P. Tumulty has stated that every possible is being used to get at the facts of the situation which he admitted to be very grave Officials believe that if it proven that the Persian sunk with out warning just Austria and Germany were declaring their intention to abandon such course the sinking of the vessels can only be regarded direct act of defiance against the United States.

EPIDEMIC MOST
 AWFUL KNOWN
NOTED DOCTOR SAYS DISEASE ENDS FATALLY WITH
 PNEUMONIA

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Surgeon General Blue of the Army reports that the influenza epidemic now spreading is the most serious epi- demic ever known in America. It still continues to spread alarmingly, he declares, and in some cities such as Cleveland and Detroit hundreds of thousands of people are prOstrated with it.. Blue declares that whenever the attack terminates in pneumonia it proves almost certainly fatal and he warns the people most solemnly to be careful against letting it develope to that stage. So widespread is the epidemic now all over the country that it is having a serious economic effect owing to the fact that it has incapacitated hundreds of thousands of workers of all walks. He believes federal aid is out of the question and that local regulations alone can be used to combat it.

BUNDESRATH HAS
 SOME MORE ORATORY

The members of the city council indulged again last night in oratorical flights over the proposed new dock approach, the electric light arrange ments and some other questions. Permission to let the work go on in connection with the First avenue ap- proach to the proposed dock was post poned. Mir. Winstadt again deliver ed a speech. Mir. J. J. Finnegan and Mir. Whittemore appeared and spoke in behalf of those seeking the permis- sion ot erect the new wharf. A couple of the boy orators of the august body itself, watchdogs of the treasury, spoke several times, but no one seems to remember what they said, and the dramatic critic was absent.

EDES WILL COME
 WITH THE MONEY
OLD FUND ALL PELUK AND NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT
 WHAT'S COMING.

From R. J. Weir, the engineer in charge, down no one at the railroad headquarters seems to know the least thing about what is likely to occur in connection with the granting of new money to carry on the work. This is merely said to satisfy curiosity on the matter. Everyone really knows as much as anyone else about it and the only little item of information that could be secured this morning at the headquarters building is that Chair man Edes will not be likely to come back until the money is secured. In the meantime only enough money re- mains to pay the permanent force and unless more money comes soon even that force can hardly be retained. There is fear, indeed, that many of the present staff hold their positions under a most precarious tenure at present. That emergency appropria- tion MUST come and come soon.
 Whatever hearings are going on be- fore the appropriations committees in Washington with respect to the mat ter must be mighty little. It is clear, anyhow, that no one has attempted yet to oppose the appropriation or we should have heard of it. The oppon- ents, indeed, are probably only the offsprings of a diseased mind. The Gateway has received letters from two of the most prominent men con nected with Alaska affairs. They are amongst those who have been charged with being opponents of any appro- priation the railroad might ask for but each seems to be most warmly anxious to have the appropri- ation given. The letters would be gladly published but they might give the Gateway the appearance of enter ing into a controversy with idiots, which is next door to being actually an idiot oneself. However, from those letters there is evidently not the slightest antagonism to the appropri- ation unless it is created by a local individual who might be described as "His Majesty, Rex Asinorum."

EXPECT ELECTRIC LIGHT
 PLANT FOR ANCHORAGE

Anchorage expects that one of the first uses to which an emergency ap- propriation would be put by the Rail road Commission would be the install lation of an electric lighting plant for that city. At least this is what J. J. Grady, Stewards ball player, says and believes. Mir. Grady came over the night before last after a rough trip and will go down the coast to cover some other towns for his house. The only lighting plant in Anchorage now is the Brown and Hawkins one.

CONGRESS- HAS
 RE-CONVENED
GREATEST INTEREST CENTERS IN INTERNATIONAL SITUA-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Congress re-convened today. The session is re garded with greater interest than any session for years past owing to the grave nature of the international situation, particularly since the tor pedoing of the British liner Persia and the loss of the life of an Ameri- can consul. Opinion amongst mem bers of both houses seems to be that the United States will now be forced to act. The more extreme believe war can hardly be avoided but the others think that the severance of relations will be found sufficient.

Big Fight Due in Congress on Pre-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Opposi- tion to the administration plans seems to be growing not only with respect to preparedness but also in relation to the revenue proposals of President Wilson and his advisors and a most heated session of congress is looked for. Kitchin, the democratic leader, is by no means the only democrat op- posed to the proposals but they will probably not be made party issues at all. The majority is believed to be in favor of the plans yet.
