NO PEACE ON THE
STATUS QUO ante
Admiral Won Tirpitz Says
Britain Has Won Rath-
er Than Lost
(By Associated Press.)

Amsterdam, Dec. 1.-THE German
newspapers contain lengthy accounts
of the speech OF Grand Admiral Won
Tirpitz before the Hamburg branch
OF the Fatherland party in which the
admiral said:
up to the present in this war,
Great Britain has won rather than
lost Peace based on the status quo
ante or on remuneration, therefore is
out OF the question. for Germany.
With reference TO the rlmor that
Germany would give up Zeebrugge
and Ostend If the British evacuated
Calais, Won Tirpitz said:
The evacuation OF Calais would
never be equivalent TO the loss of
such first class security. Moreover,
the channel tunnel will become a
fact after the war. For real securi-
ty. we should have. besides Fland-
ers and Antwerp. Calais and
Boulogne. The rumor in question is
a screen behind which the question
of Flanders might be permitted to
disappear.
sThe pretext that we cannot
coerce Great Britain and America,
falls to the ground when we con-
slider the growing scarcity OF the
cargo space of our ruthless arch
enemy. The time for final decision
will come when real distress begins
to take the place OF merely threat
ening distress. That time will come.
1t Is only a question OF our keeping

TRAVEL HEAVY ON ROADS FROM
 ALASKA PORTS

That travel from Alaska is heavy at present is indicated by the fact that four boats which have left or will leave Juneau sOuthbound within the next few hours, are all sold out. This is caused by the fact that navigation on the river is clos ing, cannery crews are being sent south, and the annual fall exodus is on.
 The Alaska last night was able to take but five passengers from Jul neau, as she had full load from the westward. The Humboldt is talk ing a cannery crew from Chilkoot and will have but little space for passengers from Juneau, the Spokane will get a large number of interior people from Skagway and has but little space for Juneau passengers, and the Admiral Evans, from the westward is loaded with cannery crews and will have practically no space for Juneau passengers.

So far as this country 10 concerned,
the outstanding feature Of the World
War, during the week, was the ar
rival of the British and French COM
missions to confer with the govern
ment of the United States ~ to the
part this country will take in the
war.
Both commissions crossed the
Atlantic in fast cruisers; the British
coming by way of Halifax, and the
French war ship being met out in
the ocean by Americap destroyers
and escorted into port. Neither ves-
sci encountered any U-boats during
their trip.
The commissions were received at
Washington with marked honors.
In Mesopotamia, the British con-
tinue their victorious march against
the Turks.
On the Western front the British
and French continue pressing the
German lines back.

war occurred during the past week.

up on his office window a long strip
of paper bearing the words:
"Our horses need no whip to make

caused some amusement At the ex-

the tables by pasting the following
retort on his own window:
