GERMANS MAY TRY
TO SURPRISE ALLIES
No Outward Indication Of
Where Teutons Will Strike
on West Front.
FRENCH SCORE SUCCESS

There are yet no outward indica-
tions as to when and where the Ger
man command will launch its next
stroke against the allied line. The
fighting lull on the western front
continues, with only raids and local
attacks. 1t is two weeks since the
German crown prince ceased his in
effectual efforts to reach Compiegne.
and the breathing space, which has
been longer than between the often
sive across the Aisne and that on the
Noyon- -Montdidier front. has been suf-
f1cient to permit the Germans to pre-
pare fully for a renewal of the Often
sive. Allied capitals look for another
enemy blow very soon. Military OBJ
servers believe it will come on the
front between Montdidier and Ypres.
For the past few days the German
artillery fire has been violent on sew
eral sectors, eacfr Of which might be
selected for an attack. These sectors
are south of Arras. the northern and
southern legs of the Lys salient and
south of the Aisne. The Germans
may, however. attempt to surprise the
allies by attacking where they hope
they will not be expected.

THIS IS A GOOD ONE

Many remarkable stories have their origin in the Northland. Old timers will recall the alleged dis covery of the Ark. which Casey Moran and Artist Buel resurrected in the Koyukuk region, beyond the Arctic It was a good story and was we'll put over.
 Less romatic and somewhat more plausible was the story circulated several years later, during a par ticularly mild winter, that a sudden shifting of the Japanese current had put an end to cold weather in the Northland. The phenomenum was celebrated at Dawson with a big midwinter open air party, at which straw hats and summer dresses were very much in evidence, and the story was given the widest publicity throughout the Outside world.
 And now comes the report from Dawson, that forest fires near the Arctic Circle, to the north of the famous old town, caused an unusual rise in the mercury during the past summer, thermometers at Dawson having registered eighty-five de- grees in the shade for a period of several days. This story, like the others, is now making the rounds of the press, and doubtless has found many willing believers. -

THE WORLD SERIES

The world series, the classic of American baseball, which terminated today with victory for the Boston Americans. was staged fully month earlier than has been the custom heretofore, during the thirty years of post-season contests. The ini- tial series, which was held in 1884, was not begun until October 23, which is the latest date ever selected for the playing of such a series. Another coincidence is the fact that the last series played before the National commission assumed con- trol was also started at an earlier date than any other before or since, with the single exception of the series concluded today.
 During the period between 1884 and 1897 the opening date of the big series fluctuated all the way from the first days of October to well past the middle of the month. During the years when the National League and the American Assoca- tion clubs competed, the initial games were usually played on a date ranging between October 10 and IS. Later when the National ard Ameri- can teams took up the series con- test, the earlier days of the month were more popular.
 Under the control of the National Commission the date of the first game from year to year varied from October 6 to as late as October IT. The series of last year began on October 6. which was the earliest date ever selected for the play un- der the direction of the interleague tribunal. For the period between 1884 and 1917 covering some twen- ty-siX world series, the average date works out as October 10, which is some thirty-odd days later than the start of the series this season.
 The present series is the fourth in which the Boston American club has participated and in all of them carried off the honors. The club has the additional honor of having won the American league pennant in 1904, but series of post-season games were not played that year.

ANCHORAGE FAIR
 IS CALLED OFF

ANCHORAGE-No industrial nor agricultural fair will be held in Anchorage during the period of the war. This is the unanimous deci- sion of stockholders and officers of the Alaska Fair Association. which had charge of last years exposition and which was formed for the pur- pose of directing annual exhibitions here.
 While no fair will be held during the war, the association will main tain it's organization so as to be ready to resume it's activities after the conclusion of peace.
 The officers and stockholders at their recent meeting decided on the immediate purchase from the Land and Industrial department of the Alaskan Engineering commission of a site for fair grounds. and order ed the appropriation of S275 from the associations treasury to defray the purchase price. The site, which IS on the southern boundary of An chorage, contains sixty-five acres.

 Nothing can be substituted for the rich experience of the house. wife; and if she will but apply her experience and her knowledge of the task of economizing, of utilizing every proper substitute, of pre- serving and conserving useful things which now go to waste, the total saving will be immeasurable.
 Fighters cannot fight without food, and the civilians of America Britain and France and Italy, who support soldiers and sailors cannot do without fool To make food win the war, it must be abundantly pro- duced, economically manufactured, evenly distributed. and carefully conserved.

ANCHORAGE MAN
 HAS PLANT FOR
 MAKING BRICKS
STRAW IN ANCHORAGE.

STRAW IN ANCHORAGE. GE................ ANCHORAGE-What promises to be a large and profitable industry in Anchorage is the making of bricks. Two hundred thousand bricks last year and this year, have been baked in a kiln in a small yard immediately south of the city and on the line of the government railroad. Their use, to the present time, has been merely local and has been limited to the erction of fire places and chimneys However, next season, Anchorage bricks, if afforded sufficiently low freight rate on steamships, are expected to enter the commercial markets of other Alaskan coast towns and even of cities in the Pacific Northwest states.
 The Anchorage bricks are made of glacial, blue clay which abounds 1t Is said. in extensive beds through out the Cook Inlet region The clay excels as material not only for bricks, but also for sewer tile and common earthenware, such as iups and crooks. Even when not put through the baking process, the clay is declared to make an adobe, or soft, brick of superior quality. It mixes, works up and dries out in the most desirable way without the addition of any foreign sub- stance. In this respect, it excels the Biblically famed brick clay de- posits of Egypt
 The Egyptian clay seemingly is so deficient in quality that it re- quires an admiXture of straw, for Moses records that on one occasion when Pharaoh wished to persecute the lshaelites by laying upon them an exceptional burden he con- pelled them to make bricks without straw. Over this task, almost i'm possible of accomplishment because of the inferiority of the clay. the lsraelites emitted such loud and bitter complaint that it has rever- berated ever since through the corri- dors of time.
 With the Anchorage clay. a work CT needs no straw nor anything else to make perfect brick. Indeed. if he were caught putting straw into the brick he forthwith would be fired off the job
 Charles J. Young, who owns and operates the Anchorage brick ward. came here two years ago from San Diego, Cal, where he managed what Is reputed to be the largest brick yard on the Pacific coast. He in tended to engage in the coal min Ing industry in neighboring fields, but the occurrence of excellent clay deposits, the insistent local demand for bricks and the opportunity of developing markets elsewhere in Alaska and in the States for An ehorage bricks induced him again to take up the brickmaker's trade.

Former Presidents as Advisers.

Mr. Taft and MIR. Roosevelt find in
current affairs much of interest. Both
contribute frequently to current dis
oussion. The war has appealed to them,

lions on the subject.

matters. Trained for the bar and
commissioned for the bench, he yet
when transferred to another field of
cndeavor "took up" very readily with
SIS duties, and performed them with
great success. It was. his record in that
field that recommended him for the
presidency. Had he remained on the
bench, his name would probably never
have been mentioned in connection
with the White House.

British Election Results.

All doubt that may have existed rel
alive to the support Of the British
coalition government is swept away
by the returns from the recent cleo
tions, just being ascertained after a
delay necessary for the receipt and
counting of the soldier vote. An over
whelming majority is indicated by the
results of the count Of ballots, COM
prising at latest accounts all but four
Of the 707 seats in the commons. Of
the 703 districts canvassed SIG will be
represented by coalitionists, which,
giving the opposition the missing four,
means a majority Of 331 for the
government. It is evident that the
women, voting for the first time,
supported the government very gen.
orally, and that the soldiers did the
same. The most conspicuous result of
the election was the defeat of promi-
nent laborites, notably J. Ramsay
Macdonald, Arthur Henderson and
Philip Snowden, who were decisively
swamped.
Seventy Sim Feiners were elected,
according to one dispatch, which adds
that these members will not take their
seats in commons at London, but will
assemble in Dublin and organize an
Irish parliament. If dispersed by the
government, it is stated, they plan to
move about from place to place, to
maintain the semblance of an indie
pendent legislature. This plan, if car
ried out, means virtual rebellion
against British authority. 1t is to be
expected, now that the war is prac-
tically over, that the Irish question
will Immediately become acute. That
problem is still the most difficult of
all that Great Britain has to face, and
it may figure in the Paris conferences.
Apart from the Irish issue, which
thus takes a new aspect, the British
government is greatly strengthened by
the result of the balloting and is as
sured of an almost unanimous popular
support during the period of recon-
struction and peacemaking.

The Presidents Plans.

Speculation as to the length Of time
the President will remain in Europe
runs even to the point Of suggesting
that he may stay over there until the
spring, regardless of the schedule Of

the present session, ending March 4,

ment on that date. At q short session
most of the important measures, in
Guiding some Of the large appropria-
tons, are put through in the last week.
The ten.day limit-which the Attorney
General has ruled runs from the time
"a bill is physically delivered to the
President-has no bearing on such en-
actments, which must be signed to be-
come laws. With the President in Eu-
rope at that time, or on the sea return
ing, much Of the work of the session
would be lost. An extra session would
then be imperatively necessary to pro-
vide for the operation Of the govern
ment during the next fiscal year. With
out doubt these considerations are
fully borne in mind in determining
the Presidents plans, and it may con-
fdently be expected that he will be in
Washington at least during the first
week in March, if not much sooner,
even though he may return to Europe
after the adjournment Of Congress in
case the peace conference has not by
then completed its task, which is al
together likely to be the case.
