confidence that the German army defeat the super Of
fensive of the allied armies which is now proceeding

and the concentration of all the allied power on one spot
made inevitable that some initial successes should be
gained The leading newspapers are ralymg to the sup

that the chanceors peace designs weakened the position
of the German empire all over the world and in the minds
of it's enemies The feeling that submarine warfare
should be resumed seems to be growing although the adj
vocates of such renewal of undersea attacks make it
clear that they know it might trouble with the

OPPOSED TO THE
WICK NOMINATION

The Nomination Of Wickersham by
an alleged Republican club at Fair
banks is to laugh. Wick has already
been nominated ON the Demo-Pro-
gressiyc ticket, has diddlcd with the
Democrats, been turned down by the
old-lne Republicans, and nQw if he
can only get the endorsement Of the
Socialist party could retire this Fall
with clean score,-so far as nomi-
nations go. The Republican party in
the Territory is badly disrupted, but
it will have to be in q whole lot worse
shape than it is now to have Wicker
sham forced upon it. The party don't
want Wick, it has no use for Wick,
and Wick would be of no material
benefit to the republicans if they had
him.-Valdez Prospector.
