MINISTER SAYS
 GERMANY SOLID
 IN HER SUPPORT
Associated Press) )

BERLIN, Sept. 3O-(Via ketchi- kan, delayeD-In an official state ment made public today, Foreign Minister Von Kuehlmann declared that all Germany was standing firm with Emperor William, and that the German answer to the popes peace note was not the answer of the German government alone, but ex pressed the united policy of both the government and the people,
 Continuing, he stated that the Ger man government was uncertain re garding the result of the pope's peace proposal to all the belligerent nations, but that he believed that it would be productive of beneficial re- suits in the future. He declared neither the government nor the peo- pie desire it strong enough to allow the allies to dictate the terms.
 It is impossible, according to the statement, for the enemies of Ger many to effect any division in the united support that the nation is giving the kaiser, and any attempts toward this end he chara cterizes as hopeless" There is no question: he declared, as to the absolute loy alty of the German people to their rightful sovereign. Germany will con tinue to fight, he said, until she is assured of honorable peace or com plete victory.

tAee,gia+ad press)


 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30. -(Via ketchikan, delayed - Food Controller Herbert Hoover today issued d new appeal ad dressed to every citizen of the United States. in which he pleads for more efficient methods of food conservation by the indi- vidual. This is the one way, he declared, in which every Am erican can do his bit in winning the war.
 Despite the previous appeals issued, MT. Hoover states that the majority of Americans do not realize the vast importance of eliminating all waste in every class of food products. Much waste has been done away with, but there is still much to d., and MT. Hoover declares that it rests with the individual more than with any other source, to determine just how much of this shall be eliminated. Wide pub licity is being given the appeal.

AMERICA HAS
 A BLACK LIST
 MEASURE NOW
Associated PreSS)

Associated Press)
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3O- (Via Ketchikan, delayed) President Wilson last night signed the so-called trading with the enemy bill recently passed by both houses of congress. This measure prohibits trading by American firms with houses or con cerns owned in part or wholly by persons of German citizenship.
 It also contains a provision pro hibiting the sale or export by Am erican firms of any merchandise, or trading in any form, with firms of neutral countries which are known to be dealing with concerns owned by Germans. This latter provision is similar in nature to the British order which placed several Ameri- can firms on the English blacklist during the early months of the war, and which caused much bitterness in certain American business circles.
 The entire law is apparently mod eled after the allied rules which have been in force for the past two years, and has the same purpose in view that of curtailing insofar as it is possible Germanys opportunity to ob- tain any supplies from any country except her own allies. It is thought that the American government has information that indicates that it has been the custom for several sup posedly reliable corporations in neu- tral countries to purchase supplies from American firms, ostensibly for consumption in neutral countries, but which were really intended for and went to the Germans. It is believed that the law just signed will effect ively put stop to such practices,

ALLIES ARE TO
 TIGHTEN UP ON
 GERMAN TIEUP
Associated Press)

LONDON, Sept 30-(Via Ketchi- kan, delay to an an nouncement made by Premier Lloyd George today, the allies will take steps at once for more vigorous and complete blockade of Germany than has yet been attempted In line with this determination it was also announced that certain articles have been forbidden for exportation to both Sweden and Holland, on ac- count of their proximity to Germany and the possibility of the enemy be ing able to evade the regulations of those governments and secure a DOT tion of the imports.
 It is stated that the government hopes in this manner to bring home to the German people the fact that it is impossible for the German gov ernment to fulfil it's promises to them and force some action by the Germans against their rulers by de priving them of everything from the outside world It is also stated that the allied governments are in pos session of information that numerous articles that have heretofore been allowed to be exported to both Swed- en and Holland have found their way into Germany, either with or without the knowledge of those gov ernments, and that in either case the only course left by which it will be impossible for Germany to continue to purchase these supplies is to shut off the export shipments.
 It is expected that both Sweden and Holland will endeavor to change the decision of the allies, as such a step is sure to be felt in both countries. These protests, if made, will have no effect, however, as the allies are determined to play safe.

 ATTACK LONDON
Associated Press)


 LONDON, Sept. 30,-Wia Ketchi- kan, delayeO O-The first day in the new week shows no Indications of a letup on the part of the German air raiders, as several groups of German airmen attacked this city tonight, making a total of four raids during the last eight days. The property damage was considerable The casualties have not been made public by the admiralty at this time.
 The attackers were divided into several parties ana made several dis tinct assaults, dropping explosive bombs in several regions of the city. Big searchlights were trained on them, and the roar from the anti aircraft guns was continuous. Mum erous British airmen rose to meet the invaders and these with the aid of the defense guns, finally repelled the enemy.
 The attackers were aided in their operations by a dense fog that en- veloped the city all during the night and early morning, making their planes difficult of location and al most blnding the searchlights.

BRAZIL TO BE
 PLACED UNDER
 MILITARY LAW
Associated Press)

Associated PrcSS)
 BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 30.-(Nia Ketchikan, delayed)-It is unofficial ly stated tonight that the president is expected to proclaim the entire nation under martial law not later than Monday night. It is stated that he considers the only means left him whereby he can put an end to the anti-German demonstrations which have been taking place all over the country, and which have been especially intense in this city.
 From the tenor of the disturbances now taking place, it is the wish of the majority of Brazilians that the government break all relations with Germany, and unless the demand is acceded to, there is every chance that the wheels of industry all over the country will be tied up by SeubId1 SlIIhe IL LS lO SuNI a strike that the president is said to have finally determined to pro claim a state of martial law to exist.
 It is the belief of many here that the government will be unable to withstand the demands for war, and that it will be forced to give in shortly or find itself in serious diff faculties unless it does so. The dem onstrations show no signs of quieting down, and every day sees new dis turbances in all parts of the country. Those who are demanding a break with Germany declare that they will not recede from the position taken, while the government shows no indi- cation of weakening in it's stand.
