HOUSE CLEANING IS F0RET0LD
ALASkANS PREDICT A
 BIG OFFICIAL SWEEP

Brown and Bunnell. It is probable that all these will be re-appointed without any question.
 Many political house cleanings are foretold for Nome. One well known Alaskan who only arrived a short time ago from the capital and left again this morning, says that the house cleaning in Nome will be gen eral. This authority also said that District Attorney Spence was also scheduled to get the axe and he gave the somewhat amusing excuse for

ENTENTE PROGRAM INSANE
 SAYS VIENNA PRESS

VIENNA, Jan. 14.-The declara- tion of the Entente that at least the Central Powers will have no means for denying knowledge of what their peace terms will be and com menting upon the statement made in connection with the Wilson note reply say the papers the Entente program is that of an insane alliance which is observing neither the facts of the war not the facts of the future.
 The irreconcileable attitude of the Entente is the position of a murder ous suicide who bent on his self de-

ering from the senate progressives regardless of politics. The senators who are not hidebound corporation ists agree that labor's position that such bills mean a revival of involun tary servitude is beyond any sort of denial too sound, and that the meas ure, they positively believe, is un- constitutional.
 It is declared that Wilson is stin very much set upon this legislation but facing filibustering majority, his chance is slim of getting his will to materialize in law.

SEATTLE, Jan. 14.-There is just as much talk about federal po- sitions and just as much personal activity seeking them in Alaska as if there was going to be a change of administration in March.
 All Alaskans regardless of politics who have close tabs on the situation, both here and at Washington say that of all the present office holders the only men who are absolutely sure of retaining their berths are Governor Strong, Judges Jennings,

pected from time to time.
 The artillery activities noticeable on Friday east of the Mouse gave way to a desultory fighting which indicates no intention of any serious resumption of active hostilities.
 The collapse of the Somme drive is decided and complete. The re- newed efforts marked by raids upon minor positions south of Ypres and near Arras of recent date show that the Somme attempts have been as good as abandoned.

 LONDON, Jan. 14.-It is about an even break as far as the Ruman- ian war news is concerned today. The clever attempts to break through the Oitoz pass and flank the Russian Moldavian positions have apparently been repulsed while the heavy attacks of the Rumanians in the Kasino district appear, &C., cording to the Berlin deports, to be disturbing.
 The situation is approaching either a climax or a deadlock.

BERLIN, Jan. 14.-The western theater of war shows no change for almost two weeks. There is no i'm portant fighting, although trench raids and small engagements are ire uuent if without any serious results.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14.- 1t is now certain that Wilson and the administration bit off more than they could chew when they sought to rush through the strike legisla- tion.
 It is almost certain that the com- pulsory arbitration measures will meet an inglorious death in com mittee. It is very doubtful indeed whether they will ever attain as much life as to be introduced.
 The Senatorial efforts to force the passage met all kinds of filibust-

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 14.-Thaw is shut out from all visitors and re- porters are especially taDoo.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 14.-Pa- pers here declare regardless of the guilt of Thaw as far as the charges recently preferred against him are concerned, it is highly desirable that the man should be detained as not normal. His attempted suicide is proof of this.

Comment is heard upon the di- vergent reports as to the result Of the delegate election. In the face or these the best that can be said is that the issue is still doubtful and Wickersham's as well as Sulzer's fate seems destined to rest in the final outcome with the canvassing board. The fact that all returns are not in will hardly change this con- dition as in several divisions there are precincts reported as the places where some technical or other cleo tion irregularities took place and while the total votes cast at these do not amount to very much they are sufficient to make it certain that it is the canvassing board which will have the final say in things. The board may not like this state of af- fairs, but in view of the closeness of the election it is practically up them to say what is the result of the election.

concerning his peace efforts.
 The Pope is almost constantly ac- credited with undertaking efforts to bring about peace in spite of all opposition. Practically all of these reports are groundless. The Temps accuses the German press of being responsible for these canards from the Vatican. The French are peeved with the Pope, constant charges of pro-Teuton leaning being levelled in some of the papers against him.
