This declaration was made in 1889. Strong located in Fairhaven, (now a part of Bellingham), in 1890. His wife and relatives and New Bruns- wick friends testified that they all knew he was engaged in newspaper work at Bellingham in the early nine ties. He was engaged in newspaper work With Elliott Stewart and Samuel Mullin in this city, Strong being edi- tor and Mullin manager of the paper Hundreds of Alaskans and Washing while in Bellingbam and knew of his paper, and that the same man is now Governor of Alaska.
 The Empire alleges that E. E. Paine, special agent of the Depart ment of the Interior, checked the in formation secured by special detec- tives and verified the testimony sub mitted and discovered much more evi- dence, all confirming the story that Strong was born in Canada and was not citizen of the United States.
 The Empire states that the inter- for department demanded that Strong answer the charges against him and that he completely failed to meet them. The uncovering of the gov ernor's duplicity has created one of the greatest sensations in the history of the city.

 PROSPECTOR STORY
Says Strong Was not Citizen at Any Time-Publishes Facsimile of
 Affidavit
(SpeciaI 10 the Prospector)

JUNEAU. Alaska, April 15.-The Juneau Empire Saturday came out with an article openly charging that Governor Strong is not and never has been a citizen of the United States. The Empire further charges that evil dence collected shows that Governor Strong was not born in Kentucky, as he claimed. and that the story with
 which he was wont to regale his hear CTS of being a major in a South Am erican army was the veriest moon- shine and a pure fabrication. The ar ticle alleges that Strong was born in Thornton, New Brunswick, and was educated in a school in Toronto in Frederickton in that province. He taught school several years and ran

His former wife and two daughters reside in Fredericton, where the eldest Miss Janet is a res pected school teacher. Bessie cares for her mother who is now an inval- i'd, while the son Robert is employed in the Canadian woods, and is of no material help to the family.
 Afidavits of many persons who searched the records state that Strong never declared his intention of be- coming a citizen of the United States after that time. The paper prints as proof the statement and affidavits of scores of persons from Puget Sound and New Brunswick. including his former wife and brother. Thornton neighbors also testified against Strong.
 The testimony says StrOng's wife recognized his photograph taken while Governor of Alaska. He failed in business in 1887 or 'S9 and left for the west. He was in Butte, Tacoma, Victoria, Fairhaven, Seattle and again in Tacoma. While in Victoria his name was on the voters list and the En- pire printed photographic copy of the affidavit of Strong in which he swears that he is a British Suhiecf

PNEUMONIA VACCINE SOON
PERFECTED, ARMY HOPE

Work ON a vaccine which 1t is be-
Meved will eradicate pneumonia from
the army is progressing satisfactorily
and has led to successful results. In
dications are that success will crown
the efforts: Of the medical corps in
vestigators.
Further tests of the vaccine are
being made in Washington under the
direction of army medical officers. Not
only soldiers but also civilians on
duty at the Surgeon Generals ONCE
are being given the opportunity to be
vaccinated against pneumonia. A
most careful record of results is being
kept and from these. along with past
records, will be determined the exact
effectiveness OF the new preventive
agency.
Last winter the Surgeon General
named q number of the most re-
nowned men on his stan to form q
board. known as the "Pneumonia
Board" intensively to study that dis
ease. For the past six months Its
members have been investigating and
experimenting with the vaccine. II
is known rs the Lipp vaccine and Is
being prepared in limited quantities
at the present time at the Army Med
zeal school. The Laboratory D1vl.
sion of the Department has been and
is playing an important part In all OF
this research work and investigation.
The health power and importance
of a serum or vaccine in guarding
against q disease Is perhaps not fully
realized by soldiers. especially wnen
the danger of that disease is no long
or apparent. This is the case with
typhoid. Not SO very long ago, IT
was the disease most dreaded by COM
man-1ers of armies in temperate or
tub-tropical countries. Take our own
Spanish American War for example
Eighty-five per cent of all disease
deaths during that conflict were
caused by typhoid.
1t is q rare lesson to compare that
figure with the present loss from ty-
phoid. During the year ending Sep
TENDER last, 81 deaths from typhoid
in the American Army were reported
to the Surgeon General, and the ma
ioYity of these were contracted prior
10 entering the service. This IL an
annual death rate from this cause Of
022 per thousand.

INCREASED COST OF ARMY
RATION

The cost of living in the Army has
advanced $50 per cent. in the past
twenty years. according to statistics
Of the Subsistence Division. In 1897
the average cost per meal for each
soldier in the Army throughout the
year was o little over four cents. less
than thirteen cents per day being al
lowed. The present ration approx
mates fifty cents per man. No aFbi-
trary sum is fixed for the feeding OF
our troops, the emphasis being placed
upon quantity and quality rather
than price. Due to large purchases,
however. prices paid by the Army are
considerably below the current mar
ket quotations.

~ Associated Press. }

London, April ia proposal by
Irish Nationalists to omit the con-
scription of Ireland clause from the
manpower bill was rejected by ma
jority of 172 in the house of commons
last night. H. H. Asquith, former
premier, while strongly objecting to
the conscription Of Ireland, frankly
declined to take the responsibility
at the moment the nation is facing
grave military crisis Of pushing
that opposition to the extent Of fore
ing change in the government:
The government spokesman in the
house, Andrew Bonar Law, in closing
the discussion, said:
I'VE could not tell America she had
the right to conscript Irlshmen in the
United States while we had not the
same right at home we intend at
the earliest moment to introduce a
bin which we hope VIII give home
rule, or rather local government, to
Ireland.
We shall try to carry it through
simultaneously with preparations for
carrying out the manpower bill, that
Is all can say"
His speech was interrupted con-
stantly by fronical remarks from the
Irish members. The Irish members
at the conclusion challenged the gov
ernment to q further division on the
conscription clause. It was carried
BY the government this time by PSI
to lie, a majority Of l65.
William Addison. for the labor
party, appealed to the government to-
give assurances that conscription
would not operate until a generous
measure Of home rule was effected
Sir Mark Sykes, Unionist for Hull,
who condemned the Nationalists for
base motives to the gov
eminent, said the government could
only minimize the risk they had
taken in this matter by taking fur
ther risks. They must, therefore, in
troduce an adequate home rule bin
and stand or fall by 1t. That was
only to stabilize the British moral
position and prove the sincerity Of
British aims to the United States and
