URGES ADOPTION
 SWISS SYSTEM
Colonel Roosevelt, Speaking Before Americanization Committee
 Denounces Brutality.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21 The National AmericaniZation committee, which is in conference here, was ad- lressed yesterday afternoon by Col. Roosevelt, who advocated the adop- tion of the Swiss military system for the United States army.
 Col. Roosevelt bitterly denounced what he termed as the callous brutal ity of the German military system, but declared that it had proven the most efficient fighting force the world has ever known.
 The committee will be in confer ence for several days and is planning to perfect branch organizations throughout the country, the member ship of which will devote g. portion of Independence Day each year to aid ing and encouraging immigrants who have come to make their home in this country.
 The utterances of Col. Roosevelt regarding Germany's invasion of Bol- gium is being made the subject for editorials in all the leading newspa- pers, many of whom are severely criticising him:

the fact that the four-foot space be- tween the buildings had been hard packed with snow.
 The business houses which were emptied of their effects when threat ened by the fire included the Love- Whitley butcher shop, Kings grocery, The Pioneer Barber shop, Mrs. Win ter's ladies' furnishings store, the Valdez Drug store, the office furni- ture of the Alaska Road commission, Mrs. Wathey's furniture from over the Valdez Drug store, George Reinke's jewelry store, the Minnesota club boarding house, the Pinzon bar, Pin zon Cigar store and Liberty theatre. | The transportation companies fur nished teams and as the perishables were taken from the buildings the stuff was loaded onto sleighs and talk en to warehouses where they were protected from the frost.
 Several of the firemen were drench- ed with ice cold water at the begin ming of the fight with the flames. When they attempted to connect the hose with the hydrant in the rear of the Pinzon their mits froze fast to the iron and prevented the couplings being made. Russell Herman's ears were frosted and others suffered froz- en cheeks.
 Good work was accomplished by men with shovels during the earlier stage of the fire as they kept the flames from breaking through where they would be famed by the wind. Inquiry among those whose effects were taken from the buildings and piled in the street shows that the peo- Iple of Valdez have lived up to their reputation for honesty as all report that nothing of value is missing. This is considered all the more remarkable when it is remembered that thousands of dollars worth of jewelry was en- trusted to the hands of persons who were practically unknown to the pro- prietors.
 The big stock of the Pinzon Cigar store was quickly moved as was that of the liquor stock of the Pinzon Bar, hundreds of men and boys volunteer ling in the work.
 Mrs. White lost all her pretty fur niture and hundreds of dollars worth of cutglass which she had received as wedding presents, but saved her dog and birds.
 Andy Marovich, who suffered the loss of his business. reports that he had just paid his rent and laid fin a stock of coal amounting to several hundred dollars.
 Harry Whitley Is congratulating himself over escaping with the loss of only few hundred dollars damage to his building and breakage in nov ing stock.
 During the fire the mercury in the thermometer at the court house stood at fourteen degrees below zero and the water from the hose turned the huge piles of snow in the street into a glacier.

GREEK PREMIER BITTERLY
 ARRAIGNS THE ALLIES

LONDON: That the entente AL lies firted with Bulgaria and humili- ated Greece, asking Greece to give up Kavala and seres, and ignored Greek suggestions as the best way to take the Dardanelles, is asserted in an in terview by Premier skouldous of
 Greece, reported here. The premier,
 who complained bitterly of the allies behavior, says they demanded Greek help at the Dardanelles but stipu- lated that Greece troops should get no closer than 50 miles to Constanti- nople. He also said the allies had given Greece no definite assurance of
 compensation in case Greece should help them.

organized baseball, either as owner
of the New York Giants or Yankees.
That is best evidenced by the prices
he is asking for some of the stars he
has under his wing. Charley Weegh-
man asked Sinclair to put price on
Lee Magee and Benny Kauf, and the
oil magnate, not wanting to turn his
old pal down fiat, offered Magee at
$50, 900 and Kauff at $4,000. Need
less to say, Charles did no more dick

However, Weeghnan will try to
land Steve Yerkes and Fred Ander-
son from the Buffeds. Yerkes should
still have some second basing in his
system, and Anderson is touted by
Artie Holman as a grand spit-baller,
built along the lines of Ed Walsh.
Holman himself is a free agent
and may remain in Chicago. He has
asked Frank Chance for a job with
Los Angeles. In the event de does not
land there he intends to organize a
semi-pro team and play games at the
old West Side park. Hofman's team
would draw well as he has large

love for my people gives me a con
yiction firm as a rock that we shall
iigh, and conquer as we have fought
and conquered hitherto, Our enemies
wish to let 1t so on to the end. We
fear neither death nor devil not even
the hunger devil which they wish to
send into our country. The men who
fight out there around Verdun, who
fight under lIindenburg; our proud
bluejackets who showed Albion that
rats bite, are fashioned from a breed
that knows how 20 bear privationS
also. These priyations are here adj
nit it calmly and openly, even to for
eign countries-hut we will bear them.
"ln this fight against hunger we
will also make progress. Gracious
Heaven allowed a good harvest this
year. 1t win not be worse, but bet.
ter than in the previous hard year.
This calculation of our enemies on
our economic difficulties will prove
deceptive.
Another Of their calculations was
sharply corrected by our navy last
week. This victory will not make us
boastful. We know that It does not
mean that England is beaten. But II
Is token Of our future wherein GER
many will win, for herself and also
for smaller peoples, full equality
Of rights and lasting freedom of sea

domination"
