 OFFICERS FOR
 ENSUING YEAR

After having been postponed sey- eral times for various reasons, the annual meeting of the Fairbanks Com mercial club was held last night in the commissioner court room in the federal building. About thirty repre- sentative business men of the city were in attendance, practically every branch of business being represented.
 The meeting resulted in the dis cussion of numerous small matters of interest to club members, but the chief business of the evening was the election of officers for the en- suing year. But one nomination was made in each instance, the officers being elected by exclamation A. J. Nordale succeeds himself as presi- dent of the club, and the newly elected yice-president is John A, Me Intosh The new executive board members are R. C. Wood, H B. Par kin, R D. Menzie, P. J Rickert and H. c. Kelly.
 The condition of the club as re- gards its membership was brought up by r. j. Rickert when other mat ters had been disposed of, MT Rick ert deplored the state of the club s finances, saying that they should be in much better condition and that there should be more members. When he had finished speaking a motion was made that the chair appoint a membership committee, the business of which will be to seek members from the ranks of the business men of the city. The committee named is composed of E. R. Peoples, Chas. L. Thompson and w. F. Whitely.
 The report of the secretary of the  club showed that $2,397.00 was col lected by the Fourth of July commit tee. It also showed that after all expenses are paid there is a balance in the First National bank to the credit of the committee of SIP 2.49.
 WCrk of the executive board of the club along various lines was re viewed. The chief subject under dis cussion in this regard was the Alaska Agricultural College X School of Mines IL was pointed out that noth- ing can be done in the matter until Governor Strong appoints board of regents for the institution, which the governor has promised to do in the near future.

LONDON, Aug. 0.-The Associated Press summary of activities i'll the eastern and western theatres ot war to- night states that, through the eNhortation of their leaders, the Russians have SlaCkened their retirement in BukoWina somewhat, while in Flanders the AngIo-French and Ger man armies are feeling out each other through raids and bombing parties. More favor- able weather has returned to the western front, making military moves on a large scale possible once more.
 The British war office reports the repuIse of fresh German attacks at Holbekes, in the Ypres salient, The attack was made in force, the Teu- tons returning time and again to their fruitIess efforts to take the salient by storm.
 With the clearing off of the skies today, after the heavy rains, the British air fleet resumed it's activi- ties above the Flanders battlefront today, evidently with the purpose of photographing new German positions. Many combats far above the lines took place, in which the allied ayi- ators maintained their mastery and came out of the contest victorious.
 Five Teuton planes were shot down and three others were forced to descend out of control behind the British lines. One British plane had failed to return to it's base at the time the dispatch was filed. All others came out of the combat safely.

ROME, August 0.-The statement that Cardinal Gas parii, one of the high officers of the Roman Catholic church, is about to tender his reSlg- nation as papal secretary ot state, has caused great sen satiOn in ecclesiastical circles. The cardinal made known his intention of taking this step ill a message issued from the Vatican tonight, and his res ignation Is momentarily eX- peCted.
 The reasons behind his de termination to step out of the important position are not fully known.
