COUNCIL MET.

The village council met for the first
time last Monday night with DR. Ed
wards. our new village president, i'm
the chair.
The meeting was more in the line
OF introducing the new councilmen
into their Offices than anything else
as no business OF any kind was trans
acted The old council members
stepped down and the new members
took their places after which Pres.
Edwards appointed water committee
TO consist OF Councilmen Anderson
and Whitehead. The business OF the
village will be taken up In earnest at
the next regular session

The death OF Mrs. Verne Stansberry

about ten years Of age
The family came here couple OF
years ago, Mr.. Stansberry being en-

No SALOON At ALPHA.
Mastodon Township in 1910 Had Not
Population OF Five Hundred.

From the office of the prosecuting
attorney al Iron River The Diamond
Drill Is informed that Mastodon town
ship will not be allowed a saloon un-
der the law as now interpreted. Tie
provisions OF the law are that there
can be in any township. village or city
one saloon for each 500 of populatiol
according 10 the federal csneus Of
1910 which is the basis OF representa-
ton
A recent decision of the supreme
court says that fractions cannot be
considered in apportioning saloons;
that the full nve-hundred people must
have been counted in order to form
the basis OF saloon,
This is interpreted by the prosecut-
ing attorney to mean that township
must have 500 people in order TO Ii
cense saloon. In 1910 there We're
but $50 people in the township OF
Mastodon and therefore no saloon can
be licensed in this township under
this Interpretation of the law.
There is no use OF me telling you
fellows that you can do any OF these
questionable acts" said the prescott
ing attorney. SHOULD ! tell YOU that
| will not give a decision on these
matters and you go ahead and act the
'drys' will take up the matter and
enforce the law. They have attorneys
hired TO do those things and will lose
no time in bringing anyone into court
who is not legally entitled to what Is
granted him. You must abide strict
ly by the law as Interpreted by the
supreme court"
Mr.. McDonougii made this statement
in reply TO requests from Iron River
and Stambaugh where the population
i'm 1910 was much below that OF the
present time and where the number
OF saloons is very much out Of pro-
portion to the number of people now
residing within those municipalities.
Mansfield is another township that
Is not entitled TO a saloon. Hematite
is entitled to one, Crystal Falls city to
seven, Crystal Falls township TO four
Stambaugh village 10 two, Stambaugh
The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1917-04-07

township 20 six, Iron River village to
four and Iron River township to one.
Crystal Falls township will not IL
cense any saloon so the number Of
possible saloons Is reduced 10 thir-
teen and, ofsthat number, Iron River
township is liable to refuse to Issue
any license outside Of the village, thus
reducing tile number TO twelve.

Many New Members a.
Are Joining the Y.M.C.A.

It seems that the local young men
have realized that physical training is
a very useful factor for those who are
a little particular about their health
Last night the physical directors had
the pleasure Of meeting a great num-
Der of new members in their depart
ments. The new gymnasium and
modern installations, expert teachers,
etc., have been the causes this year in
bringing so many new members into
the association. The records have
proved that this year the Y. M. G. A.
had more renewal members than in
previous years.
John Brock, the physical director,
and his assistants, Robert Grasson fenc-
ing mater, and Arthur Lord, boxing
intructor, are making every effort to
make the physical work more effec-
tive and the association more attrac.
tive to the members.

u. S. PROTESTS
CREEK SEIZURE
OF AN AMERICAN
Sends Note Asking Restora-
tion of Money and Official
Inquiry.

London, Jan. 6-News dispatches
from Athens quote passages from a
note presented to the Greek govern
ment on December "a by the Ameri-
can minister, detailing the case of an
American citizen, Basil Saffis, who
wa sarrested on December 2, as a re-
volutionary by Greek soldiers.
: The soldiers are said to have ignor-
ed Salts American passports and to
have taken 4,535 francs from his
pocket although after examination he
was liberated. -* e..
AS quoted, the note described how
Saffis left his dwelling to buy food
when he was seized, despite his pro-
testation and the production of his
passport, and taken before a justice
who refused to hear him and ordered
the soldiers to take him away. Salts
soon realized that he was being taken
out of the city and from jests ex-
changed between his escort and vari-
Gus passing patrols realized that he
was about to be executed. He i'm
plored his guards not to put him to
death but according to the despatch
he was forced along with blows from
fists and the butts of rifles until they
were outside the city when an or
derby overlook them and ordered that
Saffis be taken back to the barracks.
Here he was examined by several off,
GERS who. being convinced of his ma
tionality, ordered him released.
According to dispatches, the
American note stated that Salts was
in no way concerned with Greek poll
tics and was about to start for
America when arrested. The legation
delayed taking UP the matter with
the government, the despatch said
until convinced of the truth of the
matter and now asks for the restor-
alton of his money and an official in
vestigation.

into the Punjab where for months
they vainly endeavored to cause gen.
eral disaffection among the Indian
troops and the people. There were
murders and other eoutrages but the
attempt failed, largely because the
people, having no sympathy with the
movement, voluntarily turned to the
aid of the government and helped ar
rest many of the offenders.
Aside from internal affairs is the
question of the border )tribesmen at
the north. These are by nature a war
like folk and fighting is their main
business. There have been a num-
Der of conflicts between them and the

Macedonian Situation
Key to Greek Policy

5 London, Jan. "a despatch to tho
Times from Piraeau, dated Dec. 21,
says that the real key to the situation
in Greece is the military position in
Macedonia. According to this story
King Constantine has received dis
couraging news from beyond Monas-
tir to the effect that Field Marshal
Mackensen considered it impossible
to move on Monastir before another
two months at the earliest The Greek
government realizes therefore, SAYS
the despatch, that if it broke with
the entente it would have to support
the struggle alone

American Shipyards
Report Big Business

Washington, Jan. 6 = American
shipyards in 1916 put out a tonnage
exceeded but twice before. A bureau
OF navigation statement today shows
the construction of LISA merchant
vessels with a tonnage of 52O,S47 and
so vessels of 10000 tons for foreign
flags. In 1908, the tonnage produced
was $4,000 and in 1855 when the
American merchant marine was the
largest in the\world, American yards
turned out $4,000 tons of wooden
ships.
. Reports show that the United
States is leading all the world except
Great Britain and that American
that American yards are close behind
the British.
