PROTESTS PURSUING
 CHTMERA, SAY TRENCH

PARIS, Dec. 9.-"Ten thousand of words sent each day by wireless across the Atlantic by the Teutons are travesty on the systematic de- signs the Germans are pursuing in this war;" says the Temps in its leader on "The New Pacifist Cam paign."
 "All that does not prevent discus sion among the Germans" continues the paper, "as to the objects of the war in an entirely different tone. A great majority of the people and the most influential parties have not abandoned tho idea of annexation with military and economic guaran- tees that would produce most ini- quitous and insupportable peace. They see nothing on the war map but occupied territories. which en- courages them to believe that peace, concluded under the present condi- tions, would still bring them ap- preciable advantages; hence these in vitations to American pacifism re- sumed and developed by the entire Germa1o-Philo press.
 American humanitarian pacifists are pursuing a chimera. Their ex- cuse is that they live,too far from the events to form clear idea of what Germany wants, and of the methods by which she seeks to re- alize her plans of conquest and of spoilation.

OIL TANK FLOATS
 LIKE SHIP AT SEA

KATALLA: A huge tank, 45 feet in diameter and twenty feet high, was successfully lowed to it's destination on its own bottom, over ten miles of open sea and over the two dangerous tars in front of Katalla
 The St. Elias Oil Company, now running a refinery at the Katalla oil fields, found 1t necessary to move tho tank which has stood for several years on a hillside at Pete's Point to its operating plant. Capt. Ben Durkee, who had charge of the jol'. went against the advice of the en- tire community, and decided to move it without removing the rivets and taking it to pieces.
 The tank was skidoed down the hill to the tide water and lowed by two launches. It weighs fifteen tons, has a capacity of 5200 barrels, and drew six inches of water when afioat.
 Capt. Durkee. who in the course of bis transportation career, has lowed and transportated nearly every known object under the sun, says this is the first time he has ever navigated the dangerous waters of Alaska in a tub.

CIPHER
SPELLS big PLOT
British Censor Discovers Four
Letters to Influential Ger
mans Urging Action.

New York, Aug. n-That a plot
to aid Germany, which was to have
been carried on with more success
than any of the others. has been
stopped by the British government
became known today when a cipher
letter captured by the British was
sent to this city. In it an appeal is
made to an influential German to
raise 100000. or s5O0,0O0 If neces-
sary, to carry on the work. The
writer of the letter. whose name is
known to United States Secret Serv-
ice operatives. and who is said to be
well known in this city, refers to the
President as follows:
Wilson is only a lamentable and
contemplate creature in the hands of
the powerful Wall Street spectators,
into whose service he has gone for
the sake OF money, and with whom
he has allied himself body and soul"
The writer went to great trouble
to prevent his scheme from becoming
known. He wrote four letters, and
to get the sense of what he was
striving for it was necessary to piece
them all together and then to get
the key of his cipher.
