FAMOUS BRETON WARNS ENGLAND
 MUST IMPROVE
.Ssrr8rpI IrpGSt


 LONDON. Nov. 16.- Lord North cliffa created quite a sensation to- day throughout England when he practically accused those at present running the war with incompetency. NorthcIifle, who has just returned from long visit to America as Eng lands high commissioner there, evi- dently believes that his own opinion Is held by a large portion of lead ing Americans
 In letter written by Lord North ahfte to Premier Lloyd George he declares: T know that unless there is swift improvement in our present methods. the United States will tightly take into her own hands the entire management of the greater part of carrying on the war. From countless conversations with leading Americans, l have been made to real iz" that America will not sacrifice its blood and treasure to incompe tent handling of Europe's affairs"
 Since his return from America. he has been offered the appointment as head of the aerial ministry, but he declined this, saying that he believes he will be able to accomplish more for the allied cause by keeping free from political entanglements.
 Speaking today concerning what is being done on the western shores of the Atlantic, Lord Northcliffe said: America and Canada are pro ceeding with their war preparations with a feryor and enthusiasm and earnestness which is little Compre- hended and less understood on this side of the Atlantic" Americas progress, he declared, has been little short of marvellous, and the world would be surprised when the time came for her to open her offensive.

POPE REQUESTS PROTECTION OF
 THE ITALIANS
Associated PTess)

tAssOCiatcd PTess)
 ROME, Nov. l6-The pope this afternoon wired the German and Austrian emperors asking that the commanders of the Austro-Gelman troops at present invading Italy be given positive instructions that the rules and customs of international usage be strictly adhered to in their occupation of the country.
 He requested that the lives anu property of all civilians be regarded as sacred from harm; that all dili- gence be exercised in the protection of women from violation and chjl- dren from misuse. He asked that all clergy be treated with proper consideration and that hospitals be respected as their merciful purpose so entities them; churches be left unmolested, as well as the palaces of bishops and all presbyteries.
 It is believed that the request of the pope is caused by the numerous tales of terrible violence and oppreS- sion which are being spread through out the central and southern proyinc- es by the refugees from the northern section of Italy, which has been overrun by the invading Teuton ar, mics. Tales rivaling any ever told of the German occupation of Bel gium are being circulated, and there is not much doubt that some of them are founded upon fact.
 A semi-ohicial statement from the vatican tonight declares that the pope will insist upon his request be ing compiled with to the letter and that he expects both the German and Austrian rulers to give positive instructions to their officers in Italy to prevent any outrages of any kind, either upon persons or property. No reply had been received at the Eati' can late this evening.

TURKEY SELLS
 AT SlXTY-FIVE
 IN C0ODY SALE
FLOOD COUNTRY

The sale held last evening by the committee for raising funds for the Fairbanks bed for American soldiers
 in the hospital at Neuilly, France was a great success from all stand points. Long before eight-thirty, the time scheduled for the sale to start the Nordale cafe rooms were packed with people anXiously awaiting the opening hour. At eight-thirty sharp the sale started, and the home cook ed delicacies went like wild fire. Early in the evening six bottles of California champagne donated by Tony Nordale were rallied off, forty chances being sold at fifty cents chance Alabam LaboyteauX was the one who drew the lucky number and went off with the prize. Later in the evening many articles were que toned off The chief feature of the evening, however, was the que tioning of a huge turkey. W. F. Whitely was auctioneer. Bidding started at five dollars, and went rap idly upward, with such anxious bid ders as "Alabam," Judge Bunnel, Sylvester Howell and others bid ding for the prize The bird finally went to Sylvester Howell for sixty five dollars, and when that gentle man went up to get his purchase he was greeted with three rousing cheers by the ladies in charge of the sale. Other articles also sold at good prices. One chicken brought in $115O, a plate of salad $5, ham $6 and big cake $6. Over in one corner of the room the Camp Fire Girls sold candy and lemonade as fast as they could dole it out
 There was a predominance of men present in the crowd which thronged the sales room last evening, although there was also many women present. Men were seen wandering around with pies and salads and other good things under their arms with an air of happy anticipation that they had never worn since the days when they lived on mothers home cooking.
 Financially the sale was extremely successful, a total of $447.50 being taken in from all the things sold. Of this sum, s27.50 was raised by the Camp Fire Girls from their candy sales and s5 from their lemonade
 This is much more than was real ized at the last delicatessen sale, where only little over a hundred dollars was taken in.
 Mrs. G. A. Coleman, on behalf of all those taking part In the sale, wishes to express, through the col umns of The Citizen, very deep and heartfelt thanks to everyone both in Fairbanks and on the creeks who contributed to the supplies sold, thus helping to raise such splendid sum.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 16.- In local circles there is strong be- lief that the strike between the Pa cific Telephone and Telegraph com pany and it's operators and electri- clans will be settled very soon. The federal mediation board, headed by Secretary of Labor W B. Wilson, is slowly but surely arranging mat ters so that a settlement between the company and it's employees can be affected
 This settlement, however, may only affect the California unions, as the northwest organizations have severed connections with the California bodies and are refusing to enter any con ferences until the company recog- nizes their union If Secretary Will son is able to induce the strikers here to return to work, he will very probably go to Seattle and other northwestern cities and hold confer ences with the strike leaders there.

RAMPART MAN DIES YESTERDAY
 AT ST. J0SEPH'S

Yesterday morning E. T. Town send, of Rampant, passed away at St. Joseph's hospital MT. Townsend had been shot through both arms during an altercation near Rampant. and both arms became infected with blood poison. His arms were rapid ly healing after being brought to the hospital, but he seemed to suffer from an internal shock and kept steadily growing worse up to the time of his death.
 The story of the trouble in which Townsend was shot is as follows; Townsend and Gray, the man who shot him, were working on Big Mi nook creek in the Rampant district The two men had some trouble at Rahmsdorfs store at Rampant before October 21, but on that day the shooting occurred. Gray came to a deserted roadhouse on Big Minook creek and saw posted there sign warning away trespassers and sign ed by Townsend. He then went to Townsend's cabin. From here on the stories of the two men differed
 Gray says he went to ToWnsends cabin and that Townsend appeared in the door with rifle, and he, Gray. fired at Townsend several times, firing high to frighten him. and then departed.
 Townsend's story, on the other hand, both at the preliminary hear ing and on his death bed, is as follows: He heard his dogs barking on the 21st of October and came to the door to see what was the matter. On getting to the door he saw Gray with a rifle turned on him, and Gray ordered Townsend to throw up his hands Townsend ran in the house and Gray fired, the bullet go- ing through both of Townsend's arms. Townsend fell down and Gray kept walking around the house fir ing through the windows for about an hour, and then left As soon as he thought it was safe Townsend went out for aid. He was given first aid treatment as soon as pos sible and was brought to Fairbanks and placed in the hospital.
 Gray was arrested and bound over at the preliminary hearing on charge of assault with intent to kill. He was released on bonds and is said to be at Nenana at present
 Gray is now liable to arrest for murder, but the federal officials re fuse to state for the present what action will be taken.
 Townsend was formerly deputy marshal on the lower river under Marshal Love. He is said to have been an excellent and capable off cer. Nothing is known as to his relatives as yet.
 Charles Hanover, of Nenana, will leave in a short time for the Out side to Join the medical corps of the United States army.
