v
 TOKYO, Nov. 14.-ln statement given Japanese newspaper men today, Minister of War Oshima declares that it is impossible for Japan to send an army to Europe for the purpose of assisting her allies. He declares that the reasons for this are two-fold First, Japan lacks suf ficient tonnage to transport forces numerous enough to be of any ma terial assistance, and second, that the cost of such an undertaking would be entirely too great.
 The statement of the minister was called forth by speculations of the Japanese newspapers regarding the exact meaning of the agreements entered into by Japan with the Unit ed States Numbers of these publi cations have held that it was entire ly probable that Japanese troops would appear on the western front before many months It is believed that this statement disposes of the question for all time.

PrnssN

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Nov. Ii According to an annOunCement made by the provost generals office this morning, the remaining 5000 900 men eligible for military service who have already registered will be divid- ed into five separate classes. Cues tion blanks were mailed these men by the provost marshal which each registrant is required to fill out completely, and these will be put on file according to the classification
 The first class includes single men without dependents, husbands who are able to support family while performing military duties. married men who are dependent upon their wives for support, unskilled farm and industrial laborers and those of the registrants who fail to answer the questionaire.

 LONDON, Nov. l4.-Britain is holding celebration tonight over the wonderful record made in the anti-submarine warfare during the last week. The ad- miralty tonight published its weekly list showing that only one British merchantmen of over l600 tons burden had been sunk in the week just closing, and five vessels under 1.600 tons, to- gether with one fishing boat
 This is by far the smallest weeks loss since the declara- tion of unrestricted submarine warfare made last February. It is much below last weeks report. which was up to that time the smallest record The wonderful showing is attributed to the az sressiye and stringent measures taken by the British and Ameri- can naval forces to combat the U-boats during the last few weeks.

SAM FEDDERSON
 TELLS OF FAR
 REMOVED CAMP

Sam Fedderson. formerly a resi- dent of Fairbanks, but of late years a prospector in the kantishna coun- try. came into Fairbanks Tuesday. He made the trip in from the dis tant camp in nine days, but reports that he had very hard journey. In one place along the trail it took five miles. The road, he says, Waa built in the middle of last winter, and there was a lot of snow on the ground, so that the road builders were unable to clean off the nigger- heads and short stumps, and as result the road is almost impossible until there Is large snowfall
 Glacier City, the only occupied town in the kantishna district, was almost completely destroyed last summer by high water. Over three feet of snow fell during the latter part of July, followed by heavy rains, and a washout occurred as result. The high water greatly retarded all work last summer ,as well as de stroying a considerable amount of supplies.
 Mr. Fedderson reports great shortage of salmon this year, there being only small catch, and as a result all the dogs will be short of feed this winter unless some is hauled in. Game, however, he says, is plentiful, and all moose killed have been very fat. There is plenty of fur this winter, too, particularly marten, but as there is closed sea son on marten, not much trapping is being carried on.
 There are some thirty people pros pecting in the Kantishna country now, and, while none are making large fortunes, all are doing fairly well and making more than grub stake. In Glacier City there are ten or twelve people staying for the winter. Here is the office of the commissioner and the post office. Van Orsdale, the new commissioner and postmaster, with his wife. went into the Kantishna country this fall and is now at Glacier City. Billy Taylor, climber of Mount Mckinley, came in on the last boat and is do ing some representation work on his various claims.
 Joe Dalton was the only operator on large scale during the last sea son, he having had a crew of three or four men working for him in an opencut proposition. Dalton has quit work now and expects to arrive in Fairbanks for the winter some time around Christmas.
 There are only two white women in the Kantishna now, Mrs, Van Orsdale, wife of the commissioner, and Fannie Mckenzie, the well known oldtimer who has been in that part of the country for years. Mrs. Me Kenzie and her partner, Quigley. are said to be working on quartz proposition.
 Mr Fedderson intends returning to the Kantishna in week or ten days with load of supplies. He will be remembered by residents of Fair banks as the crack rifle shot who won so many prizes when the local rifle club was first organized
 Norman Campbell, the lower river river teamster and freighter, left for Nenana yesterday morning with large load of freight.

AMERICAN ARMY AVIATORS TAKE
 PART IN RAIDS
(AssoCiated Press)


 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Nov. 14.-A large number of American ayiators are receiving training under actual war conditions with the French airmen at the pres ent time. These American flyers have been carried along with the French machines as bomb troopers and observers in numerous raids over Germany and have gained wealth of experience which will be of the greatest value when they take charge of their own machines.
 The Americans have also taken part in several raids which bombed German artillery positions and mill tary stations, the American flyers acting as observers and pilots in ob servation. No Americans have yet been engaged |. any aerial fights of any importance and have not yet suffered any casualties, although the German airplanes heavily shelled them on several occasions.
 It is the intention of the French to give every American aviator at present in training in France course in this instruction which it is thought will make them perfectly familiar with the work which they will be called on to perform for their own armies when a general offensive is undertaken.

them about It. MT Davis is espe- cially anxious to have any operators wishing to have tests made during the present winter call at the Sta ton at once and let him know their needs so that he can make arrange ments for the preliminary eXamina- tion of their mine and the ores and plan the winter work of the metal lurgical laboratory.
 Mir Davis says that i, is his honest belief that the mineral wealth of our Territory has scarcely been touched. The best is yet to come. What We need now is to keep the daring and courage of the old days and yet be patient enough to face the mining game as a straight business propo sition. bringing to it a sober sense of values and knowledge of the best and most up-tO-date technical meth ods. It is in the so-called economic phases of mining that the greatest and the most permanent fortunes have been made, turning camps" into great industrial cities. This is the good word that the new Bureau brings us. It has sent us it's best in trained men and in equipment It is up to us now to cooperate with them in every possible way, for one can easily see that their success for us is going to be in direct proportion to the support and good feeling arouseds toward their work in this community.

THE WAY WITH CARAMEL

"
 The ability to make good caramel IS usuaIly considered to be the earmarK of a really good cook. It is one or those feats, like making mayonnaise or Frenun dressing. for which one Is supposed 10 need a special talent. By caramel one does not mean, of course, those deiecta- ble chocolate candies beloved by young sters. but browned sugar such as one uses as flavoring and coloring Tor eV- ervthing from soups to desserts.
 It really is not so difficult perform ance 1T you try to make 1t wltholt adding water to the sugar, as some rules direct, your task will be trying. YOU will also have bad luck If you attempt to go away from the stove when the sugar is melting.
 Here is good method Of procedure. Clean very thoroughly an agate pan that has no burnt or broken spots and then xvine If with care. Now measure out SIX tablespoons of sugar and three or water and place it on the stove, allowing II to boil for 10 minutes without stlrring' IF if continues cooking until it turns eolden brown, regulating the heat of the stove to keep 1t from scorchng, 1t should he the consistency of thick molasses. Be sure not to stir until the sugar Is en- tirelv melted as this would tend 10 gran ulate the sugar, making it lumpy. IL IS almost impossible to melt it when once if begins to brown. Add three-quarters nf a c,,p of hot water to the browned sugar If this is cooled and then poured into a perfectly clean bottle it will keep indefinitely and is very nice to have on hand for flayoring custards, cake icings and to give color to soup and meat | sauces. Skilled cooks make use of car
 amel very frequently as means 10 give l a very dark color to certain Hch soups l ana this kind of caramel is usually or 1 darker hue than the kind just de- ! scribed. A teaspoonful of the caramel here mentioned, though it will not make
 aoup very dark will bring out the fla-
 yor of meat soups in a delightful way.
