OPPOSITION IS OUTDONE
 BY PREMIER

LONDON, Nov. 27.-Lloyd George, Englands "self-made" premier, has successfully defended himself in Com mons against the first serious attack which has been made upon him since he undertook the difficult task of steering the British ship of state thru the war period.
 Several sets of remarks deroga- tory to his policies were made by va rious members on the floor and Her bert Asquith, former prime minister acted as leader and spokesman in the attack. The Welsh statesman was evidently unconcerned by the vigor and determination shown by his crit ics for he rose to answer the denun- citations hurled at him as though about to present prizes at some Welsh singing contest. It soon became ap- parent, however, that while unper- turbed, the premier was not under estimating the gravity of his sltua- tion and his answers to the attacks made on him are declared to have been embodied in one of the most masterly speeches heard in the Com mons for a long time.
 The main point of criticism was on his condemnation of the allies past strategy which he pronounced during a recent visit to Paris. Far from ma king excuses for his condemnation, Lloyd George proceeded to make clear his reasons for taking such views and apparently he convinced ev- en his oposition that his strictwes on the strategic methods employed were deserved.
 The close of his speech carried strongly optimistic assurances of the victory to come Prospects, according to Lloyd George had never looked quite so favorable to him and his ad- visOrs.

BALL
 WELL ATTENDED
 AND IS ENJOYED

As select and as well a managed dancing party as could ever be given by a private club by invitations, was the Military Ball last night at the Arctic Brotherhood Hall by the off, cers and crew of the '. s. s. Saturn. Seward matrons and the flower of Stewards youths were present and some of the costumes worn by the ladies would have done credit to a so- cial affair in New York City. The uniforms of the navy men, the con ventional formal dress of many or the citizens all blended with the prct- ty dresses of the ladies presented colorful scene perhaps never before seen in Seward. Over two hundred courles danced beneath the signal flags which hung in streamers. Along the walls flags were tastily decorated anJ Che nall never looked more spec tacular. In one corner of the hall de- Hcious punch was served to lhc ladies. In tn balcony, punch r.gA'5 and cig- arctic e,n s,lved to tine gentlemen. Seward citieus responder willingly and paid their soc,al respects to the Saturn's officers and crew and the latter left nothing undone 10 make the evening one .o be long remcm- bered.
 Dancers and spectators began gathering at the hall before nine o'clock and notwithstanding the wea- ther, kept going until the hall was we'll filled and the grand march started the evenings wh;t of plea sure -hortly before 60 o'clock. from then until after 2 orlo;l this morn- jcg the maze of canes was eNc. ut"". a we'll arranged program,

HOW ABOUT HOOVER?

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. - What does Herbert Hoover eat?
 Does he observe meatless days? Does he conserve wheat and sugar? Does he attend banquets?
 Does he practice what he is preach ing,
 The country is entitled to know.
 Red meat-beof-is found on the Hoover table not more than once each week. Fresh meats of all kinds beef, pork, and mutton-are served not to exceed three or four times in a week, approximately every other day. The meat menu is supplemented by using more fowl and fish.
 As to wheat, pure white bread IS NEVER found on Hoover's table. Corn bread and corn mullins are con- sumed in great quantities and graham bread and breads of mixed Hours are the order. Hoover's table in fact mas been the testing ground for great many experimental breads.
 Practically the only sugar used IS for sweetening coffee and tea, end this reduced to a minimum. There ore no cakes heavily iced, no sweet des- erts. Unsweetened rice cakes are a favorite. Fresh fruits are used for desserts. The only sweet he uses in any quantity is honey.
 Vegetables and fruits in season form the backbone of the Hoover menu. Hoover himself has eaten more watermelon than anything else this summer.
 AS to banquets-Hoover hates them. He never goes if he can es- cape. But the few he has attended this year have been primarily food conservation layouts.
 Yes, Madame Housewife, Herbert Hoover is the sort of leader you can follow.

CHARLES HAND
 AN OLD TIMER
 PASSES AWAY

Charles A. Hand, chief deputy clerk of the district court at Valdez, died there last Wednesday morning, according to advices received her. MI. Hand never recovered from a surg,ca! operation performed last September. The funeral services were hcld last Friday afternoon under the auspices of the Pioneers of Alaska, Tent No. 2 of which he was a member. Rev. John Finn preached the funeral ser mon.
 Tho G2 years of age and of fraiI physique, Mir. Hand possessed extra ordinary nerve and patience and he made a noble fight for life. It is doubtful whether he suspected to the last moment of consciousness that he was suffering his final illness.
 Charles A. Hand was born in 1855 at Fredlichshafen, grand duchy of Baden, Germany, on the northern shore of Lake Constance. He came to the United States in 1871. He was induced to come largely because of privations to which his district was subjected during the Franco-Prussian war although it was German. This made him all his life extremely nos tile to Prussjau Junkerdom.
 Arriving in America, MT. Hand liy- ed a short time in Northern New York then went to California, where he worked on the survey of the South ern Pacific in and around LJ5 Anre- les. He then worked on the Denver & Rio Crande when it was b"ilt thru Colorado and Utah in the eighties. From there he went to Idaho, where he lived until the Klondike stampede. He was county assessor of Boise county, and was an executive clerk in the office of Gov. Frank Steunen- burg of Idaho.
 In 1897 MT. Hand went to Dawson and in 1900 to Nome. He went to Val dez in 1902 and for ten years con ducted a cafe. When the town was prosperous he prospered with it, but in the periodical dull times which all Alaska towns pass thru he always lost money because he was too kind heart ed to refuse credit to anybody. The unpaid accounts on his books would astonish the community by their to- tal. When he finally closed his busi- ness in a period of depression sever. al years ago he told a friend that he had to do it because he was not col lecting enough to pay his grocery and meat bills. Yet he had a good patron age and his statement was a revela- ton to the man who heard it.
 On July 1, 1913, Mr. Hand became deputy clerk of the district court and held that position until his death. In that position he displayed the patient fidelity that marked every effort of his life. He knew every detail of the office Throughout his life in Valdez he was conspicuous as a public spir- tied citizen, liberal and charitable to a fault. He was town assessor until he wearied of the job and declined reelection.

Body Building Contest.

Interest in the Bodybuilding Con-
test, which was one of the features of
the 1916 Michigan State Fair, is fully
as evident this year. The time of re-
ceiving entries closed March lst and a
review of the contestants shows list
of capable competitors.
Both men and women are entered,
many of whom took part last year.
The competition between the women
is in every way as keen as the mems
contest. Many of those IN COMPETE
ton are striving to reduce weight in
an cndeavor to meet the requirements
of standard measurements.
One of the most enthusiastic con-
testants is three year-old George Il.
Mol, 293 Whittimore street, Pontiac.
George is too old to get into the Better
Babies Contest and the only other
physical competition open is the Body
Building Contest. He is 3219 inches
in height and weighs 80 pounds George
is the youngest competitor ever entered
in this contest.

It was presumably this unsatisfac-
tory reply which made the position OF
the. State Council untenab1e, and ul-
timate1y impel1ed its members to ten
der their designations.
But another factor which brought
the crisis to an issue was the arrest
and internment Of Pilsudsld on the
charge of conspiracy against the oc-
cupation. The Al stro-German mas
ters have dared to lay their hand on
man of whom the entire Polish ma
ton is proud and who, in sense, is
the living symbol of Polish independ-
ence and freedom. That act made the
continuation of the State Council in
office impossible and to give its res
ignat1on was the least thing 1t could
do in order to put itself right with
the people. This means an open rup-
ture with the Austro-German ..liber-
ators,' and unless the entire interna
'tiona1 situation changes, or the Rus-
sian revolution collapses. the Austro-
German cause in Poland may be re-
garded as irretrievably lost

your advice as to how this may be
done.
There is nothing that can be done
to stop the rise in meat prices if the
shortage continues, but il we stabilize
prices the rise will move at a contin-
uous level. Producers must have q
price that will stimulate production
and must get that price, though there
can be no Government guarantee, ana
see no way to bring about a volun-
tary agreement as to the prices that
should be paid.
IT doubt if legislation to guarantees
producers minimum price is wise.
and in meat believe it is impossible
to accomplish this
Walter L. Fisher, former Secretary
Of the interior, said that the allied
purchasing necessarily would affect
American food markets, and that its
control would in a large measure give
the Food Administration control of
meat prices.

tro-Gernan promises. The independ-
ence OF Poland was there on paper,
but where was the Polish National
Government? The Frankfurter lei
tung correspondent registers it quite
candidly.
Now, all OF a sudden, the voices
began to resound throughout the land,
demanding that first of all the Polish
government be constituted; that
Polish blood would be shed only for
the Polish cause, and that it was by
no means fit and proper that Poles
should fight under the command of
Germans"
This was the argument of the faith
less recruiting agents themselves,
who insisted that the Eolish army
should placed in Polish hands.
That was the first and most dfsas-
trous failure of the German plan; bat
there was no withdrawal, and, realiz-
ing their bIunder, the occupation au-
thorities established as a sort of halt

sentative public men as well as party
leaders, chosen by their constituents
and approved by the occupation au-
thorities, together with a number OF
men directly appointed by them to act
under the encouragement of War
saw as supreme Polish national au-
thority. OF course, it was to be only
a temporary arrangement, ending the
selection and election of a king, who
would then appoint a ministry and
summon, Diet on basis to be
drawn up in the meantime by the
State Council.
But here was a drawback. What
security had the two empires that the
Polish army in the hands of the State
Council would be used for their pur-
poses? The Germans found a way
out. The army was to take an oath Of
fidelity not only to the Polish State
but also to the ,Austro-German allies
for the duration of the war. OF
course the State Council fell in with
the idea and : fresh appeal was issued
for volunteers.
This time the Germans might have
had more success, but for the UNI

luton, which swept all Poland with a
wave Of emotion and made everybody
