In such situation the United
States might become an actual par
ticipant in the hostilities on the
European continent without becom-
ing a political ally of any of the
Entente powers, simply casting It's
weight of men, money and moral IN
fluence into the battle against the
common enemy.
Might Open Our Ports
To Entente Warships
The ports of the United States
probably would be opened to war
ships of the Entente navies, credits
from the vast stocks Of gold, food,
munitions and other materials might
be extended to all the Entente pow
ers. The American navy probably
would cooperate with the British
and French navies in clearing sub
marines from the seas.
Hurry calls for all party leaders
in Congress went out to-day as soon
as the President announced advance
ment of the date Of the extra SEES
sion. With the menace Of war
looming close ahead, political diff
ferences began to fade away. Some
Senator'S and Representatives, al
ready here, went so far as to sug-
gest that the fight for organization
of the House be postponed until
after the international situation had
been dealt with.
In laying the whole situation be-
fore Congress the President is eX-
pected to detail fully the warlike
acts of Germany against the United
States and to pay particular atten-
ton to the future of the American
government as the great conflict
draws to a close.

John A. Wilson was a passenger on the Silver Wave for Marshal. where he is going to inspect road needs in that district As the AL aska Road Commission is without funds for the work, it is likely that the Territorial Road Commission may complete the construction of the corduroy road from the landing to the creeks which is so badly needed The extra expense will not be very great while the need is urgent.
 Little dredging work, relatively speaking, has as yet started up. They are short on a considera ble quantity of repair material, ordered but delayed owing to the rushed condition of machine shops due to war. How soon some of them vii. be ready is therefore problematical. Frost also is bothering some of the machines, according to reports re- ceived yesterday, for the slight snowfull early in the winter allowed the frost to penetrate to an unusual depth in the ground

The ouly wide open camp in AL
 asla just now is Dime creek. Reek
 ing with consolidated drunkeness,
 gambling and dance halls, the new
 camp has dug itself a nice little ulcer on the tributary of the koyuk
 A little, log cabin shelters the gamesters where the gamblers have high old time and rake offs
 mount as high as three hundred
 night. Currency runs short and checks endorsed by a dozen differ
 ent people, mudstained and to- bacco odored pass for the chips
 when gold and silver fall. Pangingi, black jack, poker or such other de-
 lightful game as separates a man
 playfullv from his money is to be
 had for the asking. The camp is without a deputy and when the
 Commissioner shows up in the vicin-
 ity everything is innocent looking.
 But that's not all. They have a
 dancing hall, popularly known as
 the Monte Carlo where a couple of
 ladies have initiated the wights ot
 Dime into the Terpischorean and
 other Bacchanalian mysteries that
 may be referred to only as general
 izations. Here the tyro reaches
 that stage of sociability wherein he is willing to whoop it up and whoop it up he does, with the help of the stecrsmen who guide him to the
 cabin where the real games are
 played The delightful condition or things has raised the mischief with the camp, but some of the sharks are a lot richer by their visits and it's a pretty prosperous field. No gold mine along the deposits of
 Dime creek have produced the
 wealth that that cabin has returned to those who have operated the
 games and the figures are prodigi-
 ous as to the limits played. It is evidently no place for pikers. One man lost as high as fourteen hund- I red, another four hundred and an- other a couple of hundred within a short time. If this keeps up the green cloth will be able to buy steam yachts. So too with the la
 dies. A recent fair one from the direction of St. Michaels is said to
 have amassed a fortune in the dance hall put her sisterhood from otherwheres in the shades. It's pretty easy camp with the lid off
 and the limit thrown into the creek.
 That's the statement of fact which
 returning Dimeites bring to Nome.

The Provost Marshal General has sent the following telegram to the gov ernors of all States:
 Under Presidential Regulations, section 20, paragraph h, the term, dependent for support" has given rise to several further questions of principle, affecting large numbers of persons.
 The general basis for ruling upon such questions should be the spirit and purpose of the act in providing for such discharge wherever the terms of the act and of the Regulations are not in themselves conclusive. The act authorizes the President to dis charge wherever the parties drafted
 are 'in status with respect to per sons dependent upon them for sup port which renders their exclusion or discharge ad sable.
 Such depc@ ency ordinarily renders discharge a sable, because, since the drafted person loses his civil in come and thus loses his means of support, the wife is left without SUD- port, and this lack of support is the effect which the act aims to avoid. But wherever such effect does not in lfact follow and the wife is not left without reasonably adequate support but will receive such support from other sources, there is no real de- pendency rendering discharge advisa- ble.
 The following classes of cases are within this ruling:
 (A) Wife and Children. 1. Where the parents or other rel atiyes of the wife or the husband are able, ready, and willing to provide adequate support for her { and child ren, if any) during the absence of the husband.
 2. Where the wife owns land which has produced income by the husbands labor but which could with reasonable certainty be rented during his ab-

THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES COMES

With Fifty Thousand Cans For
 The Fish Gamers of Alaska

MT Ernest P. Walker Commissioner for the Bureau of Fisheries, was in- formed by wire yesterday that the department had secured from the Am erican Can Company 50,000 cans for distribution among the canneries who may be short of the supply this seas on. The cans are supposed to reach Ketchikan next Thursday, when Mir Walker will be ready to start distri- button.
 From the meagre information at hand. MT. Walker infers that the dis tribution Of these cans will be left 10 his discretion. For that reason he will have to ascertain in some man. her the needs of the party or parties desiring a supply. Although late in the season, said MT. Walker, the de partment felt that if it could help the canners with a little supply of cans it would be to the country's benefit.
