ADMIT FAILURE
 OF PEACE PLAN
Statement of Lloyd George that Ger
 many Expected to Give up Occu- pied Territory and Pay Indemnity

BERLIN, Dec 22.-The newspap CTS here express little surprise at the tenor of Lloyd Georges speech before the British parliament. It is said that such a stand by Great Britain was expected, and the practical refusal of the German proposal is no more than was anticipated.
 The reference made by Lloyd George in his speech of restitution Is interpreted by the newspapers to mean a surrender by Germany of the occupied territory, and probably the payment of indemnities to Belgium end Serbia. These terms, the news papers assert. form too broad Chasm for even the most optimistic to bridge, and they tacitly admit the failure of the German attempt to bring about the end of the war.

BRISK FIRE IN
 ARCTIC HOTEL
BOOMERS LEAP FROM WINDOWS
way When Discovereu-Loss Will Amount to Several Hundred Dol lars, Principally by Water.

Fire broke out this morning short ly after o'clock in the Arctic Hotel, on the corner of Keystone and Hobart street, and owned by Mrs. Herman Syrine. The fire had gained consider able headway when first discovered so that the entire interior of the house was filled with a deLse smoke when the inmates were aroused by the alarm. Several of the lodgers, unable to get out by the regular means. leaped from their windows. Later some of them went back and secured their clothing, but two were unable to reach their rooms and were compelled to- seek sufficient attire to cover themselves from their friends.
 Tho fire started in the rear of the building and had broken through and was burning briskly when the alarm sounded. The fire department re- cponded promptly and soon had two streams on the burning building. The fire was a difficult one to subdue, the flames having gotten in between the partitions and spread in all direc- tions In the effort to extinguish them the building was thoroughly flooded with water, and the most serious dam age to the contents of tne building is duo to the water.
 Thn n III fire started is pretty we'll gutte1. but the main building is not badly dam- aged. except by the water. Several Of the roomers had their clothing badly damaged by water.
 Tho damage to building and con tents Will probably amouat to several insurance.
 The fire department is deserving of the utmost credit for the skill and eff fciency displayed in handling this fire. Notwithstanding the night was intensely cold and a strong breeze blowing, they arrived promptly on the scene and in record time had two streams ot water going under high pressure, fighting the fire from both sides. There was an ample supply of water and within five minutes after the streams were turned on the fire was under control. Considering all the conditions and the strong start the fife had attained before the alarm was given the work of the depart ment in confining the fire to con- paratively small section of the build ing is a splendid example of the eff |iciency of the men and tho apparatus |composing the Valdez fire cepart- |ynent.

WINTER MAIL
 SERVICE DENIED
FROM VALDEZ WILLOW CREEK
Second Assistant Postmaster General Writes that Small Number of Per sons To Be Served Does Not War
  rant Expense.

In answer to his communication to the Post Office Department regarding the establishment of a winter mail service between Valdez and Willow Creek, Capt. Robert M. Nolan, officer in the charge of the First Division of the Alaska Military Telegraph and Cable system has received a reply from the Second Assistant Postmas- ter General, in which it is stated that "A representative of this office has re- gently made investigation of the con- ditions affecting the proposed service and it is found that owing to the very liroited number of persons that would be served during the winter months, the Department would not be war ranted in mourning the expense that would be involved in providing the service"
 The Valdez Chamber of Commerce also interested itself in the proposed service, and communicated with the department urging the service be es- tablished and in reply received in the last steamer letter from the Second Assistant Postmaster General alm ost identical with that received by Cap tain Nolan.
 From these letters it is apparent the service will not be established this winter, but Capt. Nolan is by no means satisfied with the result of his attempt, and will carry the matter further in the hope that such a serv- ice may be established next season. if not this. He insists that the men at the various telegraph offices along the Valdez-Fairbanks road between Valdez and Willow Creek are engag- ed in a public service of considerable moment, and it is an act of injustice that these men for more than six months in each year should be cut off from all mail service.
 Nor are these men the only ones deprived, for there are a number of miners, prospectors and roadhouse men who are similarly cut off from the service. He further states that this is not all the advantages to be derived from the establishment of such a service, as it would connect with the interior mail service from Chitina at Willow Creek and would permit the sending of mail to any point in the interior country at a saving of several days time over the present method, which compels the sending of the mail from here to Cor dova, thence over the railroad to Chitina.
 In this Captain Nolan will un- doubtedly have the support of the Chamber of Commerce and of every citizen of the town, and 1t is believed a concerted action will avail to bring about the establishment of the win ter service here next year.
 Secretary H. H. Jones of the Val dez Chamber of Commerce, hos been corresponding with the department in an endeavor to have this service es- tablished and he believes that the decision of the Department may be rescinded if strong showing is made.
