INVITES TEUTONS ID FORGET "uBER ALLIES"
 POLICY AND BENEFIT
,HIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE UNITED STATES SETS FORTH BASIS ON WHICH PEOPLE OF GER MANY CAN END THE WAR AND ENJOY A PART IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS ON BASIS OF EQUALITY BUT NOT OF DOMINATION.
(By Associated Press Dispatch,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29-Presdent Wilson today rejected the Popes peace proposals finally setteing the question of dealing with the present German ruler, un- conquered or uncurbed at home.
 In his reply to Pope Benedict the President made it clear that lasting and durable peace is negotiable only by complete understanding with the German people and not alone the unstable guarantees of the existing gov ernment.
 The note indicates that the American government in- tends after the war; reprsas upon the German peo pe but desires in interest of world peace that the Ger be allowed to share in International economic op- portunties providing they will accept such share on an equality and not seek dominion.
 The President is believed to reflect acuratey the at titudeS of members of the entente alliance in that DOT tion of his reply in which he unequivocally denounces German military autocracy
 The general tenorof the note especially the portion in which the United States takes determined stand against the Germanic policy of world politics in which Deutschland Uber Ales is the mOtto was anticipated by the diplomats, but they surprised by the Pres dents virtually direct appeal to the German people to strive for emancipation from military control and to be- come fitted to deal with world democracy.

A. F.. Mclean. formerly postmaster at NuShagak, was placed on trial for his life this morning, charged with the murder of his wife at their home in the western Alaska fishing village.
 The majority of the witnesses are due to arrive on the Santa Ana, which should reach port before tomorrow morning, but the assurance that they will be here on time led the Court to start proceedings so that there will be no delay.
 The morning session was taken up entirely with the selection of jurymen and although there were twelve men in the jury box at noon, it is not cer- tain that they will be retained, altho accepted by the government.
 Twenty-four veniremen of the twen- ty-six called for this term of court were examined at the morning session and of these six were excused because of ScrupleS against capital punish ment. The government exercised two peremptory challenges and the defend ant four. The defense, therefore, has sixteen peremptory challenges remain ing, which if used, would result in re- moving all of the jurors now in the box and still allow four to go on. New veniremen will probably be call ed should any peremptories be used by the defense this afternoon.
 Attorney L. V. Ray is representing Mclean and U. s. Attorney Spence and his deputy. Judge Munley, are acting for the government.

TUNGSTEN IS
 IN DEMAND
Options Taken on Properties in In- terior by Representative from
 the Outside

FAIRBANKS, Aug. 10. (By MaiD. --One of the biggest deals in Fair banks mining circles in many years is tranSpiring at the present time. It has to do with the taking of options on a number of properties known to contain large lodges of tungsten ore by Jacob Myers, an "Outside" prospector, who arrived in Fairbanks last sum mer and who prospected here all win ter. Nothing is stated regarding the prices under which the properties have been optioned, but it is understood to be substantial. The ground on which the options have been taken lies on the ridge between the head of Steel creek and the head of First Chance creek. And it is understood to be the intention of Mir. Myers to start devel
 opement work on the claims in ques- ton immediately. In fact, work has already commenced, and a big mill with a crushing capacity of 150 tons of ore daily is now en route to Fair banks from the Outside, being brought in by Mr. Myers. Among those who are reported to have optioned ground to MT. Myers are Martain Harrais, Frank Miller, Frank Zimmerman, Will liam Wallace and Julius Hoffman.

RED FEED IS
 HANDICAP TO
 HERRING MEN
Fish Expert Finds Conditions at Sel- dOvia Similar to that on
 European Coast

w. P. Studdert, of the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries, has returned from Sel- dovia and is now at the Hotel Sexton, where he will be glad to talk with all fishermen, or anyone interested in the fishing or packing of herring. / The fish seen at Seldovia were of good quality, with the exception of being slightly discolored at the bone. This discoloration may be a temporary condition brought about by the red feed on which the fish are gorged. This so-called red-feed is a minute crustacean, and fish, while feeding upon it, are impossible to cure. At present the waters about Seldo- via are fairly teeming with red-feed.
 Red-feed is not restricted to the waters of Alaska, since considerable trouble results from the same source, where herring are cured in Europe To overcome this objectionable factor the herring are impounded for from five to seven days. While in the pound, which usually consists of a herring seine, stretched across convenient bight or bay, the fish search constant ly for hole through which to escape In so doing they neglect to take any food and gradually pass off that inside their stomachs
 No fish were impounded about Sel- dovia, due to the lack of suitable gear: gill-netting heretofore has been the only mode of taking herring in that region. It is likely, however, that next season will see some seines on the grounds, for where pounds are used the packer is able to operate through a longer season.
 Packing in the Selodvia district will probably begin about the middle of October, when the red-feed disappears and no further trouble results there from.
