FOR THlRD-CLASS
 P0ST0fFICE
Up to the People as to Whether Old Classification Is to Be RegaiHed
 With Consequent Benefits

William Ansley, recently appointed post master of Iditarod to succeed Albert Vile, has not yet received his commission, al though it is expected on every mall, In anticipation of the coming change in the local postoffice, Mr. Ansley on Saturday last purchased the building now occupied by the postoffice from Mrs Sylvia Chessley, and will expend considerable money in its re- pair and refurnishing.
 MT. Ansley states that in the event that the Iditarod office is reclassifed as third class office the postoffice will remain Tn its present location; but that if it is to remain a third class office he will be compelled to fit LID part of his store room as quarters for the postoffice
 It seems to be up to the people of ldta- rod to determine whether the office shall regain its former classification, and 1t IS a matter of interest to every resident. Auto matcally, when the receipts reach a certain figure. the office assumes the class which the business of the office justlhes according to postal regulations. The reclasslhcatlon is made at the end of the fiscal year, which is March 31. Mir. Baker, acting postmaster, states that the local office must do busl- ness of several hundred dollars during the present quarter to enttle 1t to reclasslhca- ton as a third class office, but believes that if the citizens thoroughly understand the situation they will respond
 The citizens of Fairbanks have for months been conducting campaign looking to shelr postoffice being again placed in the second class and last reports received from there indie ated that they would be successful. The same interest taken here would have sml- lar result A big factor in the campagn which is being carried on in the Tanana metropolis is the added importance sec ond-class office has in the eyes of the postal authorities with reference to the mail serv- ice furnished. It is reasonable to suppose that third-class office will not receive the same consideration in the dispatch ot malls and in the award of contracts for carrying them as would second class office and this is equally true as to fourth-class and thlrd- class offices. It is argued that our mall service is nothing to brag about at any time but if the business of the othce only justifes the maintenance of tourth-class establishment there is little hope for i'm provement.
 There are many ways in which the people of the city and district can help in this mat ter and the Iditarod Commercial Club has recently appointed committee to interest the residents of the city in the proposition.
 This IS one matter in which there should be no diScord, as 1t is to the interest ot every resident that the postoffice rot only should remain in its present quarters, but that its old classification should be regalned and the best service possible furnished in the way of mail delivery.

GERMANY'S CHANCELLOR
 OUTLINES PEACE TERMS

BERLIN, Dec. ll-Germany Is prepared to discuss peace terms with her allies, pro Wided there is an assurance that cessa- ton of hostilities will not be incompatible with the safety and dignity of the German empire. This, in brief, is the attitude of the German empire with respect to peace, as revealed by the long-expected speech of the German chancellor, Won Bethmann Hoil- veg. in the rechstag yesterday afternoon The chancellor said il, part:
 Germany is prepared to discuss peace terms with her enemies at this tune, pro yided there is a substantial assurance on the part of the allied powers that peace may be restored on basis that will not be ncom- patible with the dignity and safety of the German empire and her colleagues in the war.
 Germany feels that it would be foolish to make overtures for peace herself at a time when the statesmen of the allied powers, either through guilt or ignorance, are en- tangled with confusion as to the real mer- it's of the controversy which led to the war"
 The chancellor scoffed at the assertion of the spokesmen of the allied powers when they declared that Germany could be starved into submission to their terms of peace, "With the Teuton army triumphant every where" said the chancellor, "1 am filled with wonder and amazement that the enemy does not call for halt and take the inltla- tive in asking for terms of peace. They will find the Germans ready to meet them half way"
 "Henceforth," declared the chancellor, 'the world cannot lay the blame for con tnuation of hostilities upon the shoulders of the German empire, which stands willing to make peace at any time the allied powers may elect to discuss the matter. But there will be no peace unless it Is compatible with Germany's dignity and safety"
 Replying to interrogatories on the part of members of the reichstag as to what would be the probable basis of terms of peace that would be considered by the Ger man government the chancellor laid par iticular stress upon the fact that Germany did not wish any more territory, nor would it relinquish any. He declared that the German troops would be withdrawn from Belgium, France and Poland, but big in demnity would be required. Poland, he thought, would be permitted to form a separate government.
 All parties in the reachstag warmly ap prove the speech of the chancellor, and de- clare that he expresses the attitude of the Germans generally, even to the extent of rlinquishing the conquered territory which the Germans do not desire.
