DICTATOR ON
OLIGARCHY?


PARIS. Nov. 81. = The allies
conference will be called upon to
decide whether the nations fight
ing for democracy shall establish
single military dictator or ere
ate a military oligarchy to fight
the German aristocracy. Amer
ica's vote may be the deciding
factor.
The French favor the creation
of one supreme generalissimo, as
against the British idea for SUI
preme war council.
The British, inherently individ-
ualistic, foresee possibilities Of
trouble at home If the British
armies cease to be controlled by
the home government.
They are not disposed to con-
cede complete transference of au-
thority, particularly since the pre-
vailing idea is apparently that the
generalissimo be Frenchman.
Not that there is any distrust of
a French generalship-on the con-
trary, there was some disposition
today to regard it as inevitable if
such a supreme war chief were
created that the man named
would be a French commander.
| AS for the Americans, whose
votes may actually decide the
matter, they are keeping close
counsel, listening, doing some
hard thinking and hard working.

half of what it was last year at
this time.
1.-The entire pack of frozen sal
mon Is not more than 25 to 40
per cent of what 1t was last year.
Zone of the chief reasons for
the high prices is the unprecedent-
ed shortage In catches. Puget
Sound dealers have been forced to
pay unusually high prices during
the last IL months
Another big reason is the keen
competition Of Canada at Prince
Rupert, where the Grand Trunk
railway has established a terminal
where American vessels can land
fish and put them on the eastern
markets without the long run from
Prince Rupert to Puget Sound.
This attraction to the fishermen
has resulted in big proportion Of
the fleet landing fish there. leav-
ing a shortage in the amount land
ed at American ports.
Big Factor.
"The prices have steadily ad-
vanced ever since Prince Rupert
was introduced as a shipping
point. 1t is the world-old ques-
ton fsupply and demand.
"And in addition to the fact
that Haince Rupert has been a big
factor IN the purchase of halibut
for the last year and one half, the
fact remains that halibut has been
growing scarcer. This has been
recognized by the government, and
there has been a movement start
ed between the U. s. and Canada
TO clos up certain areas to fishing
OF halibut for a period Of years to
give the fish a chance to propa-
gate. and to prevent similar sit
uation to that which occurred on
the Atlantic coast a few years ago
when II was practically depleted
of hadbut.
Cost q Operation Higrer.
While 1t is true that some of
the luckier fishermen have profited
by the high prices during the last
IL months and have made unusu-
ally large earnings. it Is also true
that the cost of operation of hall
but vessels. like that of any other
industry, has increased 100 fold.
80 far as salmon Is concerned,
the failure OF the sockeye run on
Puget Sound this year caused the
canneries to pay unusually high
prices for. silvers, falls and hump
back salmon. Four years ago
hump backs were tire cents
apiece. This year they were So
cents each to the fishermen. ST.

THE food administration and
the Wholesale dealers have been
cooperating along the lines Of in
creased production in other varie-
ties than halibut and salmon, real
ixing that It IL impossible to in
crease the production on either
or salmon.
"If the people Of this section
could be educated to call for other

LONDON, Nov. 27.-Repulse Of
a violent enemy counter attack in
the northeast corner of Bourbon
wood was announced by Field
Marshal Haig today.
The assault came late last
night. 1t was the first counter
thrust of major force which the
enemy had directed against the
new British advanced positions In
the wood for nearly "a hours.
Nearby, however. in Bourbon
village the fighting has been al
most continuous, the position be-
ing half British and half German,
with both sides striving violently
to increase their holdings.
The present fighting in Byngs

practically a return to the old

MAY NOT co
TO WAR WITH
AUSTRIA YET


WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. 81.
President Wilson will not ask
for a declaration of war against
Austria or Germany's other allies
at the outset of congress, it was
authoritatively learned by the
United Press today.
Developments in the sinking of
the American steamship Schuyl-
kill may change the outlook, how
ever.
"Watchful waiting" of the stu
alton will be the presidents at
titude. despite wishes of many
congressional leaders for immedi-
ate action.
Until an actual clash of Aus
trian and American forces is in
evitable the administration prefers
to let the displomatic situation
rest as 1t is.
A deadlock on the Italian plains
or decisive Teuton defeats on
other fronts may cause Austria to
seek an. advantageous peace.
Debate on the policy is likely
to start shortly after congress con-
venes, Dec. 3.

Just as soon as he get hundred thou

At this time, on the threshold Of December,
it may not be amiss to state that we have raised

This is not said boastfully, but rather in
thankful spirit, as BELTS the season.
We have done this business solely on merit.
Not single article has been "marked up"
to be marked down again-not word has been

SO far as we know, that we would wish to recall
or blush to hear repeated.
Many lines have been sold out completely,
and these will not be replaced
Indeed, we couldn't replace them if we
wanted to, for prices since the sale began have
gone skyward, and on most every line involved.

KINGMAN REAL
 TOWN DECLARES
 BIG MOVIE KING

If his big Stutz racing car had not broken down at Blackberry yesterday, Jesse L. Lasky, vice president of the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation, a S20,000,000 motion picture company, would not have learned of the "Gem of the Desert" "-Kingman-and the latter would not have gotten acquainted with the movie magnate. Instead, he would have reached Los Angeles at midnight last night and, in his own words, missed one of the treats" of his life.
 Mir. Lasky, accompanied by George M. Mooser, general manager of the Morosco theater in New York, and a mechanician, left New York two weeks ago in the big Stutz. 'We planned on taking an outing," said MT. Lasky last night. Incidentally, I figured on winning a substantial wager from a friend of mine who said I'd never cross the continent in an au- tomobile."
 He admitted that when he broke down yesterday his hopes went aglim- mering, for his mechanician informed him that the car was so badly damag- ed that it could not be repaired out side of a big city.
 C,,,,,..zoI ,4 To,,-,,
 But another wonder I've found, be- side your hustling little town and the livest newspaper in the country" he continued, ''is a regular mechanic. I at a local garage and was that they would have me out by noon tomorrow"
 And by noon today, MT. LaslIy and companions plan to be on their way to Los Angeles. Part of the Lasky stu dios are located in Hollywood, where some of the most famous screen dramas are staged.
 Visiting the Daily Miner office last night, the movie magnate was surpris- ed beyond expression to find one of the most up-to-date newspaper plants in the country. q had been reading the Daily Miner for the last two days, and had no idea that it was published in a town the size of Kingman," he said. q want to say that in all my travels this is one of the most hustling little towns I've ever seen and you have the lvest little newspaper in the land"
 Describing his experience yesterday, MT. Lasly expressed regret that he didn't have a camera along, to film ''The Tragedy of Desert Motoring"

 FLOODED BY RIVER

J. s. Withers, who came in from the Klondike mine yesterday, reports that the Colorado river, at the old Klon- dike mill, is the highest ever known, and is still rising. Only the highest spot on Cotton Island was visible, and all the farm lands on the east side of the stream are under water, the bare tops of the wheat and barley being above the water. On the west side the ranchers have deserted their homes and no sign of any of the old habita- tions are visible from the Arizona side. All the houses in the valley of the Cottonwood are flooded with water, some of the people still in habit them, having provided a cause way from the high lands into the up- per parts of their homes.

 ing citizens, who lend their sympathy and cooperation merely to be "good fellows" rather than that their serious impulse is to upset the course of jus tice. Such weight is brought to bear upon your board and by our board up- on me, that justice is done only in iso- lated cases.
 The cost of securing evidence and conviction in "bootlegging" cases is great. Increasing bitter complaints from county officials are being receiv- ed at this office against the parole of such prisoners and the impression is abroad that there is little use of spending great sums of money to bring these people to punishment, if our acts are to make them free upon the payment of fines, or because they are in physical and mental distress, such as is alleged to warrant executive clemency.
 There is no doubt that the traffice in intoxicants has been increasing. It is carried on boldly at the present time. No good reason can be given why all such miscreants should not suffer the full penalties for their skillfully pre- meditated acts, regardless of their in or past record as law-abiding citizens. The laws governing these practices are not obscure and they are widely understood. I firmly believe that it is not only the large profit which attracts persons, who might otherwise become economic factors in our industrial life, into this illegal traffic, but the comparative immunity from punishment which your recom- and my acts of clemency lead them to expect, should they be caught and sentenced.
 It was therefore pleasing to me to learn that your honorable body is in agreement with these ideas, and I shall be under added obligation if you will resolve that, in the future, eX- cept in unusual cases, no recommenda- tions for clemency as to sentences for 'bootlegging" be sent to this office for my consideration.
