1.-THE German spirit today is tricky

Their war, with it's violation of every

Here is an illustration of the Ger

them to win.
"Well, they won, but their shoes and
leg guards were very old and shabby,
and I said to the captain after the
game:

Workers, over strikes called or i'm
pending in Illinois, Ohio and Indiana,
Mr.. Garfield sent a telegram to oper-

that the government would deal most
drastically with strikes Intended to
force a decision on a revision of gov
eminent prices to meet wage in

Washington, Oct 18.-Pro-German
agents in the United States, according
to reports to the Treasury Depart

ward defeating the Liberty Loan
Their organized propaganda has borne
fruit from Minnesota to Texas, it is
asserted, in scattered localities where
weak efforts have been made by indi-
rect methods to discourage subscrip-
lions.
The work of the pro-German agents,
officials assert, has been carried on
for more than two weeks. Some of
the workers, reports to the treasury
indicate, conducted their operations
here in the national capital.
Official recognition of the propa-
ganda against the loan was voiced to-
day by Col. Herbert M. Lord, repre-
senting the War Department. at the
war risk insurance conference at
which the details of the new Soldiers
and Sailors Insurance Law are being
explained to officers and enlisted men
from the various environments.

'In convincing refutation of the

that subscriptions from the army for

dollars, and that some of the sub
scriptions were written in foreign
languages.
1.-The announcement caused great
enthusiasm among the delegates from

Thermostatic metal, a new material, is
adapted for such uses as recording tenn
perature changes and giving automatic
temperature control. 1t is made of strips
OF two strong, non-corrosive metals. of

These are welded together, and any
change of temperature causes the COM

LIGHTING SYSTEM MAY BE SECURED
 BY THE CITY
Tentative Proposition Is Made and Figures Are To Be Presented
 to Council.
TO ENGAGE IN BUSINESS

] That the city of Juneau may install
 wires and poles and engage ill a general electric lighting and power 1 business was the announcement made
 late yesterday afternoon, as contain
 ed in the Empire. The Juneau Mer-
 chants Protective Association has
 taken the matter up with P. R. Brad ley. manager of the Alaska-Juneau
 and Alaska Treadwell companies and 1 figures and tentative plans will be
 submitted to meeting of the city council and the Merchants Protec- tive Association on Friday night. The matter was taken up yester-
 day with Mr. Bradley to ascertain if the city of Juneau could get electric ! ity from the Treadwell Company to supply the city if it desired to enter this line of business. The committee of the Council and Merchants were informed that they probably could
 get it an attractive price, and that
 estimates of the cost of installation and distributing system and also the price of the current to the city
 would be prepared and submitted to the Council
 It was called to the attention of the Councilmen and merchants pres ent that the Treadwell Company and the Alaska Juneau have four large electric current producing plans, which, since the catastrophe at Treadwell produce much more pow CT than is needed by the two com panies. This power. Mir. Bradley said, could be supplied to the city at a very reasonable rate. The princi- pal cost of an electric lighting and power system would be that of the distributing system.
 This is not the first time the mat ter has been considered The old council had the matter before it with the proposition to secure power from the Alaska Gastineau Company. At that time it was dropped on ac- count of the cost of the necessary in stallation of a distributing system, and also on account of the shortage of money in the city treasury.
 The question will be taken up and discussed at a meeting Of the Mer- chants Protective Association at a luncheon to be held tomorrow noon at the Alaska Grill. A special meet ing of the Council will probably be called for Friday night and the en- tire matter of the lighting and also the fishing matter will be submitted to them
