AMERICANS LOSE CITIZENSHIP

Ed L. Keen the United Press correspondent in Lon
don tells an interesting story of the difficulty this
rys representatives having in trying to solve the
problem, when is an American not an American?
The issuance of passports is of the embassys most
troublesome duties. Numerous Americans who have re-
sided in England for ten fifteen twenty years decided
after the began and particularly after the Yep
pelins put London their calling list that they had
better inquire into their citizenship All wanted Amer
ican passports Some wanted to go back to America
Others bound for France or other comparatively
Zeppelin-ess cmes. There was the rub
Passport officials at Uncle Sans London address
struggled with the problem. The applicants many of
them with English accent long had they been out of
touch with the Statue of Liberty forced to
imposing lists of questions which forwarded to the
State Department at Washington.
The Department Of State, acting on a musty and long
unused law decreed that to be recognized American
in foreign country person must report to the proper
American authorities at various times duly pay taxes in
America if he she has enough property to be taxed
make visit home once in while. A great many
Angliczed Americans had failed in this, in whole in
part They are now persons without country pass

Republicans Will
 Adjourn Tomorrow
Herron's Request Will Be Complied
 With by Committee.

The Territorial Republican Com mittee which was to meet here to- morrow and select a date and a place for the territorial convention will ad- journ to some future date at the re- quest of Chairman Heron. Commit
 teeman J. J. Fnnegan stated this much today. He and Ed. Whittemore, committeeman for the westward, are the only two committeeman likely to show up as Heron has probably sent word to the committeeman of other districts that the postponment will take place. Mir. Heron says the postponement is necessary so that some new rules of the party might be learned but some of the dopesters have a different idea altogether. Heron is now believed to be in Ju
 neau and there are some who believe that the next few days may have a political surprise in store in relation to Republican politics in Alaska.

THE TRAVELLER
 IS NOT LOST
MEN ON FIRE ISLAND ARE NOT CAPTAIN CRAMER AND
 CREW.

The boat Traveller is not the one that was lost recently near Anchorage and Captain Cramer and his crew of the Traveller a,o not the men who have been marooned on Fire Island. When the Dora touched at SelcOvia the other day on her way to Seward the Traveller was snugly dOcked and Captain Cramer was with her as large as life. Anchorage has had no means of finding out this fact as she has no communication with Seldovia. Some of the people on the Dora be- lieve that the the parties marOOned on Fire Island are seven men who left Seldovia some time ago for Anchor age in a small boat.

SCALDED TO DEATH

RUBY.-Last Monday at Kokrine, the two year old son of Titus, a native, fell into a pan of boiling water and scalded his arm ana side.

There is always an overflow of Stran-

and bread were supplied the chilly and
