CARRY
 OFF ALL FOOD
(ASsociated Press)

PARIS, Mar. 21.-In a semi-Official statement made public here tonight it is absolutely denied that the Ger mans left the civilian population in the district they have just evacuated, five days food, as they have previous ly stated. On the contrary, it is de- clared that not only did they take all the food in the possession of the civilians, but also seized and carried off a large quantity of supplies be- longing to the American and Spanish relief societies.
 The suffering of the inhabitants of the region abandoned by the Ger man troops is stated to be terrible. In numerous cases the pursuing troops of the allies have found cases of almost actual starvation The country over which the Germans re- treated is in state of complete devastation, nothing being left for the inhabitants to exist on.

ADJUSTS
 INSURANCE, RATE,
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 21.- The federal war risk bureau tonight announced that it had been forced to readjust all insurance rates. This action was made necessary on ac- count of the extra risk arising from the state of war that is now virtually admitted by all to exist between Am erica and Germany.
 The new rate for vessels trayers- ing the war zones, as defined by Germany's proclamation of unre- stricted warfare, has been raised from two to three per cent. These rates apply to all vessels sailing from Atlantic coast ports to Euro pean ports, except those loaded with arms and munitions for the warning nations. The rate for the Pacific coast boats is only half that of the Atlantic rate.

INDICTED
 BY GRAND JURY

Two true bills were reported by the grand jury in district court yes terday morning. They were against John R. Montgomery on a forgery charge and James Bernard on the charge of shooting with intent to kill. Both were brought into court shortly after the indictments were returned. Montgomery was arraign- ed, but Bernard was not, as he stat ed that he had not procured the services of an attorney, and that he cannot speak good English. The court directed that an interpreter be brought into court this morning, and it is therefore probable that the ar raignment will take place when court convenes at 10 o'clock

Representative C. k. Snow, of Ruby, yesterday wired the Fairbanks Commercial club relative to money available for school funds in the ter ritory. The wire is taken to mean that a number of projects, in addi- ton to the schools, have been pre- sented to the legislature for ap- propriations, and that school funds may be shy, but it states that the legislators from the Fourth division will do the best they can. The wire was as follows:

 her in any manner he considers proper.

SPECIAL. SESSION OF CONGRESS TO
 VIEW SITUATION
sociated PIcss)

WASHI%GTO%, B. C., Mar. 21- The President this morning issued an executive order calling an extra scs- sion Of the siXty-fitth congress to meet on April 2. He will ask con gress to take action on the state of war that now is officially admitted to exist between the United States and Germany. Congress will probably be asked to declare that a state of war has been in existence since Germany began conducting her most warlike operations against American com merce. It is likely that some date will be specified on which an Am erican ship was sunk or an Ameri- can citizen killed.
 The action of the President in is suing the call today was not uneX- pected, as it was freely predicted yesterday that he had the advice and sanction of the cabinet for talk ing this step. In fact, it had been expected that the call would be for an earlier date.
 BERLIN EXPECTANT.
 LONDON, Mar. 21-According to information received by the British foreign office this evening, private telegram to the Amsterdam Bourse from Berlin states that the German government expects that state of war will be accomplished with Am erica within the next forty-eight hours.
 This condition of affairs will not be a surprise to the Germans, as semi-ofIicial publications have repeat edly declared that it was only a question of a short time until the United States became involved.
 NO DELAY IN CONGRESS.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 21.- Congressional leaders of both par ties now in the city declare that the reorganization of the house will not be permitted to delay action on the international situation. It is expected that there will be a hard fight to determine which party is to have control of the house organization.
 In case there can be no immediate organization effected, it is probable that a joint session of both houses will be held to receive the message of the President, as il is stated that neither the Democrats nor the Re publicans will give up without fight.
 The official figures now give the Democrats 214 members and the Re publicans 215 members, the remain der being independent of party lines. Should neither party be able to se- cure the 21S votes now required to elect a speaker, it is possible that a special rule will be adopted, by which a majority of votes of those present will be considered sufficient for election.
 MOBILIZATION PLANS COMPLETE.
 WASHINGTON, D. C.. Mar. 21.- Preparations for active hostilitles took on a greatly increased activity today in all parts of the country. All the various departments are work ing day and night rushing plans to completion.

ALLIES REPORT
 MORE GAIN IN
 EVERY SECTION
(Assnciafeh prcssl

LONDON. Mar. 21-An official statement issued tonight by the war office says that the British troops have steadily continued their advance throughout the entire day. Accord ing to the statement. the British forces today reoccupied forty addi- Uonal towns in their line of advance. This makes total of over hun drcd towns and villages occupied by the allied troops since the big ad- vance began less than a week ago
 The report also states that the ci- william population throughout the en- tire district is in absolute want, the rctroating Germans having taken all supplies with them, leaving the in habitants nothing to subsist on. They are being cared for as far as pos sible by the allies, but their wants are far beyond the means of the advancing troops to supply, as sup plies for the troops must be main tained
 While for the most part the ad- vance of the British forces has been practically unopposed, along part of the line there has been some heavy fighting. In the northern district around St Quentin, the German troops have stiffened their resist ance, and the British troops have been in touch with the rear guard of the German armies all day. Along this part of the battlefront the ad- vance of the British has slackened but has not been stayed
 Official reports from Paris indicate that the French forces have been almost halted at some points along the line. Several towns have been recaptured by the French, and fur ther advances are expected tomor- row. Reports of the sufferings of the people in the recovered region from Paris, are said to be inde- scribable, many deaths being report ed from actual starvation.
 RUSSIANS THREATEN TURKS.
 LONDON, Mar. 21.-It is officially announced tonight that the Russian armies from Persia have succeeded
 in invading Mcsopotamia and are now closing in on the rear of the Turkish armies that are retiring be fore the British forces that captured Kut-El-Amara and Bagdad It is thought that few more weeks will witness the capture or annihilatiOn of the Turkish forces in this region

OLD SPIRIT OF rs
Still IS BUBBLING
Many Ready to Enlist in Navy Should
u. s. Become Involved in War.

The spirit of rs is still alive in
Americans. as was demonstrated yes
terday afternoon in the new naval re-
eruiting station at the northwest cor
ner of Ninth street and Pennsylvania
avenue.
You can count on me as enlisting
10 war Is declared" were the patriotic
words offered Chief Yeoman J. ].
OBrien, In charge of the station. by
a young man who sought Information
about the navy.
Mr.. OBrien said that this was but
one of the many expressions of 10y
atty to this country with which he
came ints contact daily. He explained
that while the new station has just
been open for two days, many young
men have already called to inquire
about enlisting. Two applicants have
been accepted
The station. as well as all those
throughout the country, is pressing
new publicity campaign. One Of the
features OF this is the gathering of
names Of probable applicants for en-
lfstment. These names are suggested
by men now In the service, citizens,
and others.
Whenever a name Is received, q per-
sonal call is made by one of the Of
dcers of the station to interest the
prospective sailor in the service and
point out to him the many advant-
ages offered in the new American
navy. 4
while many young men do not ex-
press their willingness to enlist at
present, every one of them has de-
clared that he stands ready to go on
the firing line IL this country should
get into war.
II was q sailor during the Spanish
war" one applicant yesterday said
Then you know very little about
the American navy and must learn all
over again" Mr.. O'Brien answered TO
the surprise of the former sailor.
The significant part of his remark
was that because of the rapid strides
Uncle Sans navy has made recently,
there can be no comparison OF the
navy as 1t stands today with the navy
of the late SOS.
Assisting Mr.. oBrien is Chief Quar-
tsrmastsr e. F. Manning. Both of
these men have spent more than half
of their life in the service. Their
records and present posts bear strong
evidence of the many chances for ad-
vsncement in the navy.
