DID NOT VOTE AT
 POINT BARRON

NOME.-Point Barrow did not send any election returns, says the Nome Industrial Worker. United States Commissioner Richardson, at that point, explains that there were only five voters there, including the Hitter ate wife of trader, and so, although they have the honor of having the largest voting precinct in the world, they didn't want the honor of casting the smallest vote. The voters telt they didn't know a thing about the candidates, so didn't see the necessity for putting the government to the ex' pense of a vote being taken. The hope was expressed that some time when the precinct was more devel- oped they might be able to cast a vote proportionate to it's size.

Non Participation of Japan
in European War Ascribed
to Lack of Transportation

participation Of the man power
Of Japan in the European war, a cues
ton that has been discussed especially
since the United States decided to send
troops abroad, has been due to the lack
of methods of transportation to any Of
the fighting lines except the Russian n
frontier.
Russia needs no more men, but she
has been in sore need of materials and
munitions, and these Japan has sup
piled In great abundance. 1t was stat
ed by men well informed of the view
point of the European allies.
So far as sending men to other allied
nations. it was stated by this authority.
1t was considered that tonnage could
be used to better advantage in carrying
supplies and raw materials. It was
stated that Russia could not have
fought through the past year as she
did without the help of Japan In sup
plying munitions and supplies
This authority stated there is the
greatest confidence in Europe in the
efficacy of American troops He said
that the American army Is discussed
abroad much more than it is in this
country. Americans can scarcely real
ise. he said. how much the arrival OF
American men will mean to the spirits
Of the British and French on the battle
fronts They will count not only from
a military standpoint, but as an as
surance Of the cooperation Of the
United States. and as an evidence thai
a great nation has thrown its re-
sources with the allied cause.

Early Arrival Finds Tent
Beds Comfortable and He
Camps Out for the Niuht

The first veteran to arrive at the
tented city for the Confederate reunion
requested quarters last night. He was
taken to one of the buildings where
there are 500 comforta BILE. new beds
ready for occupancy. After going the
rounds Of the 500 and testing the
sleeping properties of several. he con-
cluded that they were were pretty much
alike and settled himseIr IN one of them
for the night.
Food supplies to subsist the host Of
veterans who will be encamped around
the Union station plaza during reunion
morning, and facilities for caring for
these supplies were arranged for.
Only a part of them are in as vet
but already the indications are that
there will be quite mound of food
staples on hand before long. The guam
titles on the list of provisions REQUIRED
would provide work for an army QUAR-
termaster. for the purchasing is on
the same scale as for an army unit.
Among them are such items as one ton
of beef daily, $4,000 rolls of bread. in
addition to several thousand loaves per
day. To care for the perishable sun
plies, a big ice box is being put up.
G. e. .Guvernator arrived this morn
ing from Richmond to supervise this
phase of the preparations. To carry
out the great amount of work he has
secured q force Of $50 men, who will
aid in the "subsistence department"
The large sums of money expended
in the purchase Of supplies are ali
being invested In this city, it Ia said.
Work on the wooden buildings which
will house some of the veteran con-
tingent is nearing completion TO-DAY.
Lack OF sufficient canvas retarded
somewhat the hosting Of the big tents
on the plaza. Several Of these are nm,
however, and the vista over the nlaza
strongly resembles an unusually large
and well-kept circus establishinT
itself.
stacks Of soft and CONGRATULATIONS

partment were being sent to various
