ILLEGAL VOTE IN THE
 ALASKA ELECTION FOUND

SEATTLE, Nov. 25.-0ne bit of evidence of fradulent voting in the recent election held in Alaska devel- oped here. According to a reputable witness, Louis Klopsch, late editor of the defunct Daily Times at Fair banks, on his way to the outside, vot- ed at Sourdough rOadhouse. Klopsch registered at Fairbanks, which is in the Fourth division. Sourdough road house is located in the Third division, and therefore Klopsch's vote was ir- regular and illegal.
 Kopsch is now here and he stated to many in the various hotels around the city, especially to the Alaskans that he voted in the Third division.
 There is every indication here that this matter will be brought to the attention of the Alaska authorities Ex.

The following indicates the terrible nature of the submarine warfare:
 Since then, despite the huge sums that England and France have been compelled to raise in Wall Street, the ratio of losses from the U-boat war fare has increased considerably.
