FORFEITURE CLAUSE IN
 REGULATIONS REVOKED

By executive order dated June 1S, the forfeiture clause in the regula- tions governing the sale of lots in government tpwnsites along the rail- way line, has been eliminated. The information comes in a message re- ceived today from the secretary of the interiors office, and addressed to An drew Christensen, manager of the land and industrial department of the Alaska Engineering Commission. This order will have the effect of free list ing a number of lots in Anchorage, that have heen threatened with for feiture, due to violation of the town site regulations, with respect to the sale Of liquor, gambling and kindred
 vio,atiC2s cf regulations that had
Valdez daily prospector., 1917-07-07

been imposed.
 While the Times has been conduct ing a campaign looking toward the elimination of this forfeiture clause, this paper willingly gives the chief credit to MT. Christensen, whose re- commentators along this line ante dated to those of the Times that as soon as he saw that the forfeiture clause was liable to work an undue hardship on innocent parties, who in good faith had made investments in this town, he strongly recommended the elimination of the objectable clause.
 Under this forfeiture clause, but two lots have been forfeited. and in both instances the owners had twice been convicted of selling liquors. In the remaining cases, action had been deferred, as it was expected that the forfeiture clause would be revoked. The executive order automatically free lists all lots that have been un- der the ban.
 The revocation of the forfeiture clause does not mean that this is to be "wide open" town, or anything or that sort. On the contrary, the pen al laws will be enforced as heretofore, and it will continue to be unlawful to sell intoxicating liquor, gamble, etc. Anchorage Times.

PEACE ONLY COME WHEN
 MLITtFIsM IS ENDED

GLASGOW, July 7.-"Peace can only come in the world when the al- lies have attained their aims and have had their objectives guaranteed" Premier Lloyd George declared in a speech here today; Peace without victory would be the greatest disaster in the history of mankind" he con- tinued, for indemnities constitute an essential part of the mechanism of civilization everywhere and with out them we have no guarantee against the repetition of other wars.
 "The democratization of Germany will be the best guarantee for peace we could negotiate. It would bring about a different spirit and with less suspicion with free government than with aggressive. arrogant Prussian militarism. Peace must be guaran- teed by the complete destruction of Prussian military power so that the confidence of the German people will repose in their equity and not in their right.
 "The only terms upon which Ger many has suggested restoring damag- ed Belgium are terms of vassalage,' the premier continued. "No German statesman has ever urged that resora- tion and none ever accepted that stat us quo ante, and no indemnity basis for peace. In determining the future trusteeship of uncivilized lands we must learn whether the inhabitants desire their old masters or prefer gentler hands.
 Imperial Chancellor Von Beth mann Hollweg almost promised in dependence to Belgium" the Prem fer said. "At the juncture when this seemed about to be consummated the mailed fist promptly boxed his ears. Germany asks an indemnity and lit- tie territory here and there with the privilege of other directions for her own wrongs.
 Germany says Great Britain is seeking her colonies. as we'll as Mes potamia and Palestine. If such aim was true" he declared, i've need not have raised three million or four mil lion of troops. Our own army would have been capable of annexing those lands.
 France is fighting to recover her peoples patrimony. Mespotamia was never rightly Turkish; the Turks have converted the garden of Eden into veritable wilderness. A great inter national peace congress will decide what disposition shall be made of the German colonies" he concluded, but Mespotamia and oppressed Armenia can never he restored to the. lasting tyranny of Turkish rule"

OAKGROvE CEMETERY
GETS ANNUAL CLEANING

City Sexton j. p Raiford has just
completed thorouhg renovation of ah
the walks and uncared-for lots in Oak
Grove cemetery and Americus' city Of
the dead today presents better and
cleaner appearance than for some
months past. There are number of
lots in the cemetery belonging to
persons who no longer reside here, Or
whose owners care nothing whatever
about their appearance and every now
and then Sexton Raiford, at his own
expense, goes over these ugly spots
and touches them up, thereby bright
ening the appearance of the whole
cemetery.
The work just completed was corr
menced several days ago, and the ef-
feet is very noticeable even to the cas-
ual visitor who happens into the Gem
etery. Every walk has been cleaned
OF rubbish and weeds and trash that
had accumulated during several
months hauled away and burned. This
puts all Of the public property in tha
cemetery in first class condition, and
with very little cooperation on the
part of lot-owners, it will be COM
paratively easy to keep its appearance
very creditable throughout the winter
season. Mr.. Raiford, who is deserv-
edly popular among a large circle OF
friends here, has earned the thanks
Of those who have loved ones in Oak
Grove through his thoughtfulness and
energy in thus looking after uncaTee-
for spots in Americus' pretty ceme-
terry,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 3.-For
the second time in eight months, the
Germans are retreating in France.
The crown prince has removed his
forces thirteen miles backward from
the Chemin des Danes line to the ALL
cite river, which he crossed, de-
stroying all bridges behind him.
French troops are pursuing the re-

ments, and have already crossed the
Ailette behind him.
The Paris war office reports the
capture of four hundred and twenty
two guns and seven hundred and
twenty machine guns =
There is, however, nothing to indi-
cate where the Germans expect to
voluntarily retreat further, but only
one b.. two lines offer a good pQsl"
ton behind which they could make o
stand
Italian forces have Feached the
Tagliamento river in their retreat,
and the Rome war office reports they
have checked the Teuton effort to
effect a crossing of the stream. The
Austro-Germans have not yet made a
determined effort to get across, how
