AMERICANS TAKEN
PRISONERS SUNDAY
GERMANS, WITH BARRAGE FIRE
AIDING, MAKE ATTACK ON
PERSHING'S MEN.
SMALL SALIENT IN TRENCH
German Is Made Prisoner-12
Americans Captured - Were
Special Target for Teuts.

Washington-Armed forces under
the American flag have had their
first clash with German soldiers in an
attack which the Germans made on a
small salient Of first line trenches
where the United States troops had
been taken for instruction, and three
Americans were killed, five in jured
and IL captured or missing.
The war department made this
known Sunday, on receipt of a dis
patch from General Pershing showing
that the German forces, soon after
learning the position of the new en-
envy from overseas had launched a
desperate effort to overcome them
The Teuton attack came before day
light on November in the form of a
heavy barrage fire which isolated a
salient of the American trench, and
apparently left small force of Amer
leans at the mercy Of their enemies.
That the American soldiers fought
gamely is shown by Pershing's report
of prisoner being taken by them
How some of his troops escaped,
bringing this German back with them
is not told in the brief dispatch of
the American commander.
Artillery Increased.
The United States troops were ia
ken in charge of veteran French SOL
diers to a quiet portion of the long
line that runs from the North sea to
Switzerland, and for few days con-
ditions were normal Cable dispatches
for the last "a hours have been tell
ing of artillery somewhat above nor
NAL" On Sunday a rather cryptic
Berlin official announcement told of
North American" prisoners being
brought in, and this is taken here to
refer to the soldiers whom General
Pershing's dispatch says were cap
tured or missing.
Many French and British military
writer's have warned America that
Germany would hurl terrific blows at
the Americans. 1t was pointed out

PRESIDENTS APPEAL AND ALASKA

The appeal of President Wilson to the American people should be read and carefully considered Every one in America who would render service to his coun try should heed the request of him who is command ing the fight. It suggests duty to every one fires pective of whether he go to not-and that duty is to do all within his power aid in making his country productive
 Aaskas duty in the crisis which confronts the Ma tion is produce than anything else The coun- try will need the products of the Territory than before Copper and fish and gold are all neces- sary in the work that is before the Nation The man who adds 'd poInd Of fish Or other food, pound of copper or dollar in gold the countrys wealth is doing service that could be performed in other way
 Never before in the history of Alaska the duty cooperative work increase production to splan Heretofore the obligation for unity has been to Alaska and the men, and children who constitute her population and those who will join and those who will after them Now this duty has broadeued until become matter of patriotic loyalty the Nation and humanity itself The duty to aid through harmony in action and purpose, through cooperation and industry broad the for which America has taken up Patriotism demands that United States shall fall the slightest degree behind the best possible thing in the performance of the task she has for herself and Northern Ameri- canism demands that Alaska shall permit single commonwealth in the land to full com pliance with duty's demand than she comes
 Alaskans Americans first of all. Their first obligation in the present crisis is to their country. That only be performed in honest earnest, ergetic and patriotic effort toward harmony and operation in utilizing all the of the Terri tory to their uttermost. ..-qu.e- 4aI

DEMOCRACY IS PEACE

The distinction President Wilson draws in that historic message between our views of the German military autocracy and attitude toward the Ger people themselves is essentially sound. It is a distinction millions of Americans have instinctvely made since the began
 There is hatred for the German people in this country We understand how little they have had to say to the momentous decisions their government has taken We realize what an extent military autocracy, bent the furtherance of it's ambitious plans has played upon their of duty and led them to disaster after disaster.
 Our hostility is for the autocracy that holds them in it's iron hand that decides for themdecides after fashion that menaces the future of the world Be- tween such government and free representative government antagonism in inevitable. There may be long truce; there can never be permanent peace. Sooner or later the great antagonist principles will meet in the sphere of action, and that war.
 We regard the German peoples the victims of their own system, and we look to them to realize fact at no distant date. that the issue between democracy and autocracy has been plainly drawn by world events. In declaring that whatever we undertake will be of liberation of all peoples Germans included the President was uttering no emp ty phrase.
 That American hostility is reserved for war-mad German militarism and for the individual German character will unquestonably be atested as the Pres dent suggests, by the attitude of Americans during the troublous times to toward the millions of men and women of German birth native sympathy who live among and share life" As to the German people themselves. i've shall desire nothing so much the early establishment of relations of mutual advantage between us"

St. Nichola. Day and Christmas.

A writer in the Pail Mall Gazette
thus %speculated concerning the amalga-
nation of Christmas eve and ST. Nicho-
las eve: perhaps the amalgamation
of the two festivals was brought about
by motives Of economy, the giving of
presents on December 5 and again on
December rs constituting too heavy a
toll on parental purses. That this was
the case appears to be proved by the
custom prevailing in Catholic Germany,
where st. Nicholas duly appears in
each home on December B., and, inquir-
ing into the conduct of the children,
rewards the worthy with fruits and
cakes and lectures the unworthy on the
duty of obedience. He then asks the
Christ Child to bring them at Christ
mas, and on the morning of that day
they usually find the desired articles in
the shoes which they placed overnight
on the hearth. This variation of the
original Nicholas eve custom, for so
long obsolete in England, probably &C.
counts for our possession of Santa
Claus In his present form. He is
supposed to have been an importation
from America about 40 years ago
Gas a little earlier we had derived the
Christmas tree from Germany on the

band of Queen Victoria.)"
