German Newspaper Claim United States Starts Peace Propaganda
 To End the War

BOSTON, Aug. 25-A Stockholm special to the Globe says that Ger man newspapers are featuring such headlines as Peace Propaganda Be. gins in America" This will go far towards the successful flotation of the next German war loan. The German people learn Indirectly from London" that labor troubles in Mich igan and Colorado are assuming ser ious proportions threatening the pro- duction of war materials. Figures relating to the number of American troops supposed to be under arms at last have been printed in Ger many by permission of the authori- ties. A Berne dispatch places the number at more than 1,000,000 but the German public is reassured by deprecatory comment.

FRESH FISH WILL GET PREFERENCE
 FROM DOUGLAS
Mayor Smith Receives Very Encouraging Advices From Pres. Baxter
 of Alaska Line

DOUGLAS, Aug 25.-According to a cable received this morning by Mayor Elmer k. Smith from Presi- dent Baxter of the Alaska Steamship Company, fresh fish is to be given preference over other commodities so far as space in that company's ships is concerned and henceforth the company's steamers Mariposa, Alameda and Northwestern, which have not formerly made Douglas a port of call, will stop here when southbound whenever there is any fish to be shipped.
 The cable to Mayor Smith, who is also agent for the Alaska Steam ship Company at this place, was the result of a cable from the mayor to the manager of the company ten days or more ago and at a. time when the fish warehouse here was full of box es ready for shipment and there were no steamers to relieve the conges- tion. Luckily, however, steamer with space was secured and no loss was sustained. To avoid such con- ditiOns in the future the mayor took the matter up and the very satis- factory cable received. this morning was the result

FEW EXEMPTION AMONG DOUGLAS
 AMERICANS
Registration on Island Is Progressing in a Most Favorable
 Manner

DOUGLAS, Auf 25.-Chief Regis tration Clerk David H. Christoe this morning reported his list as having grown to IA. number having come in yesterday for enrolment. All who have registered save one (name de leted by censor) have signified will lngness and readiness to defend Old Glory if called upon.
 The one exception is young Ger man who applied for and received first papers of naturalization in Cali fornia more than three years ago and before the European war start ed. He says that he is yet desirious of becoming full-fledged American citizen but that he could not con scientiously take up arms and fight against the country of which his father and mother are still citizens and residents
 The young man admits the incon- gruity of his position. He says he has foresworn allegiance to Germany and hopes to become a citizen of the United States and should, therefore, be willing to defend the flag of the latter country, but that blood ties would prevent any active participa- tion on his part against the country of his birth and the home of his parents.
 The sentiment expressed by the young man was noted on the regis tration card filed and there may be occasion to refer to it later.

 Rumors of such a conference, have been current in London for some days.

Foreign Secretary Balfour replied he had no knowledge of such a conference.
