DENIES AUSTRIA WANTS
FURTHER PEACE FARLEY
Premier Count Czernin Says His
Country Has Outlined Conditions,
But Now Will Fight.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VIENNA, Wednesday, January 81, via
London, February 2 delayed
Associated Press today sought from
Count Czernin. the Austro-Hungarian
minister of foreign affairs the meaning
of the recent utterance of Count Tisza,
Hungarian premier, that the Austro-
Hungarian government was inclined to
continue with the United States fur
Their exchange of views peace.
Count Czernin said: 1T is incompre-
hensible to me how American papers
can declare that while our enemies
stated their conditions of peace in an
swer to President Wilson. the central
powers abstained from doing so. 1t is
a matter of fact, as everybody is able
to Judge for himself from the text of
our notes, that we outlined our condi-
lions of peace in exactly the same gen
eraI manner as our enemies have theirs.
"Condensing the contents of our enc
mics statements. we can gather the
plain conditions under which they are
prepared to make peace, namely. to am
putate Germany and deprive her, as
far as her internal policy is concerned,
of the right of self-uetermination: to
dismember Austria Hungary, to reduce
Bulgaria and to annihilate Turkey al
together.

Will Fight to Bitter End.

THAT our proposals were refused,
we regret and we do not hesitate to ad-
NIT this, even at the risk that this re-
gret may be interpreted, as has often
been the case, as weakness on our part.
Ever since the beginning of the war
our enemies have made. especially as
concerns Austria-Hungary, SO many
false statements and prophecies, which
since have been refuted by the facts,
that they ought, indeed, to be some
what suspicious regarding their own
judgment
However, in view of the attitude of
our enemies. who simply deny, because
1t does not suit their egotistica1 theo-
ries, there is nothing else left to US, as
every fair-minded person will admit,
but to defend ourselves to the bitter
end, and the future will prove that we
have strength to do so with success
our enemies do not wish peace
through mediation. If they force US to
continue the bloodshed, they alone are
biamable for it, and we seriously hope
that in America this will be realized
and our decisions judged accordingly"

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS

where they were treated to coffee and cake and instructed to vote for Wickersham. That they went to the polls and voted as instructed. None
 of these natives voted for Sulzer. All of them had their votes marked
 by someone else.
 The portion of MT. Rustgard's in terview in which he states that the deputy marshal at Seldovia enter tained the natives of that precinct and instructed them how to mark their ballots for Sulzer and took them to the polling place is pure and simple falsehood There is not one word of testimony supporting this statement, while the testimony establishes that the entertainment and instruction was done by "ShOr- ty'' Stoffer and Mike DolchOk, and it was conclusively established that these two men acted as Wickershams precinct workers.
 There is also no testimony what ever to sustain the statement that the Russian priest in Kodiak preach ed a sermon for Sulzer and dis played Sulzer's picture with the holy pictures on the walls of his church. The testimony did establish that two of the judges of election at Kodiak were strong Wickersham support CTS and that one judge of election there was a Democrat.
 In regard to the statement that there was an attempt made to de- fraud Wickersham of his opportunity to be present or represented at the taking of these dcpositions, I have to state that Wickersham refused to name a representative in Alaska upon whom service of the notice of intention to take these dispositions might be made was therefore compelled to wire my entire notice of intention to take dispositions to Seattle and have it transcribed and served upon Wickersham and after considerable delay in ascertaining his whereabouts he was found some where in the country near Auburn The fact that Mir. Rustgard was present representing MT. WlckerSnan in the matter of these dispositions seems to me refutes any charge of attempted unfairness in this matter. am herewith enclosing you a photograph of a portion of Wicker sham's constitutiency in the Seldovia precinct These five persons all tes- tified that they were members of the Kenai Indian tribe and all but one testified that they could not
 read, write or speak the English or Russian language. Some of them
 testified that they voted for Wicker
 sham and others testified that they did not know whom they voted for They were all examined through an interpreter excepting one who could speak a little English.

 The Carlson cannery at Aux bay at the present time has 27,50O cases of salmon packed and it is expected
 to get 4,000 cases of fall red fish before the end of the season. For a one line cannery working with the equipment installed at Aux bay, this is considered an excellent showing for the cannery. w. o. Carlson, who is in charge of the plant is highly gratified with the showing made, and especially so since it is only his second year in actual charge of a canning plant

Napoleon, as the dominant military figure
Of the nineteenth century, stands for all that
was despotic in militarism but back Of him
was the need, and the Justice in the demands
he made, for the saving of France.
In writing ''The History of Napoleon"
Mr.. Watson had made deep study of the
needs of France; the tremendous need for
the formation of an army that would cope
with the allied forces of Europe; he could
not help but learn in his readings, of the
systems needed for the formation of an army
the scope and strength of Napoleon's-but he
also learned that every walk Of life would
respond to the need of the nation, without
the compulslon we have had put over on us.
Read Napoleon; it costs $3.50 in hand
some red cloth binding, and it is illustrated
with a number of actual photographs.
Then read ''Waterloo"; and you will have
gained a knowledge Of actual war that will
perhaps amaze you. And you will realize
that no man who wrote two books like these,
could be ignorant Of the need for the mill
tary preparedness of his country.
We have Waterloo in two bindings-one,
the red cloth, gilt lettered, matching the
other cloth-bound books, the price of which
is 81.
In good paper cover, same print, and
makeup, the price is fifty cents

Dear Sir: Here is a list OF names

l took a trip yesterday out to
little country town, and everybody
was talking about Tom Watson and
asking if you read last weeks Jeff.
Tom don't get discouraged and think
the common folks are not with you,
for it is common talk that you are
their best friend. They appreciate
you and are ready to. hold up your
hands.
[ don't know whether this letter
will be appreciated or not but I have
a heart full of love for you, and felt
it my duty to let it be known. No

 The chalce came directly to them from the hands ot fhe excayators in 1910. It can be dated with certainty to the second half of the first cen- tury, A. D., says Dr. Gustavus A. Eisen, the archeologist, who now is in this country and who has made a preliminary report on it to the Amer ican Journal of Archaeology.

pared as carefully as those of the Newfoundland banks. Each year the catch in Alaska waters increases, the number taken last year having been nearly four million larger fish.
 Fish experts say the North Pacific cod fishery may yet outrank the sal man fishery. The fishing banks of the Aleutian islands and Boring Sea are said to be as extensive as those of Newfoundland, which are regarded as inexhaustible. Several years ago a few Gloucester fishing schooners equipped with power came to the Pacific coast, but they were not adapted to the waters, and. returned to Massachusetts,. It is proposed in Seattle to equip a codfishing fleet to

For many years the north Pacific cod was regarded as an inferior fish, and to this day Gloucester codfish are sold m retail stores on the Pacific coast.

GAME IN THE ANTARCTIC.

In the antarcic there Is not the im- mense variety of game which is to be found in north polar regions, but, on the other hand, it is very abundant and can be turned into food with the smallest exertion. The Weddel seal which sometimes weighs as much as half a ton, allows itself to be killed and cut up with placid calm. It's natural enemies are m the water, and for long generations it has been ae- customed to bask in the sun undis- turbed says the London Chronicle.
 Seal steak is in acquired taste, but when acquired explorers prefer it to timed provisions, It Is a, common assumption that sea. flesh tastes of train oil. That hs a mistake; the flesh itself contains no fat, but 1t is ex- tremely rich in blood, and in taste suggests the Scottish deilcacy known as black pudding.

 The British navy has always drawn many of it's best sailors from the North sea fishing fleets, and the New foundland codbanks have been a training ground for the sailors of Newfoundland, England and Canada The same skill and courage are re- quired in the waters of the North Pacific, where the fishermen battle with fog. storm and frequently ice.
