LEAVING RUSSIA,
REFUGEES REACH
FINLAND SAFELY
The Americans and Others Leaving
Russia on Special Train Have
Reached Finland.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-American
consuls and their staffs, members of
the Allied Missions and civilian refu-
gees, who recently left Russia on a
special train, are reported to have
crossed the frontier safely and en-

Arrangements will be made for the

HUNS READJUST LINE

WITH THE BRITISH.-In the
region to the south of the Scarpe,
large portion of the German line
is now being readjusted, trenches
are being hastily dug and gun place
ments and protecting bastions are
being erected. These activities of
the Huns are frequently interrupted
by the British artillerymen, who
very frequently and regularly take
crack at them at long range,
drawing the ineffective fire of the
Hun batteries covering the working
parties. Several thousand yards of
the old Hindenburg line lying to the
southeast of Mocouvres have been
cleaned up by the British, who are
now in possession of it.

ACTION IS MENACE:
Won Hertling Fears For Safety of
Crown and Dynasty If Reforms
Are Granted.

AMSTERDAM. Speaking to
constitutional committee of the Prus-
sian upper house today, regarding
the fulfillment of the kaisers pledge
for the reform of the franchise
rights of the German people, Chan
cellor Won Hertling said that it was
his honest conviction that the ques-
ton was very serious one and that
it placed the German crown and
dynasty in jeopardy.
The chancellor intimated that if
the emperor redeemed the pledges
given the German people and grant
ed franchise reforms, the protection
and preservation of the crown and
dynasty would be at stake.

RICE SHORTAGE
IN JAPAN PUTS
BAN ON HAWAII

HONOLULU. = Rice imported
from Japan must not be sold to any
but japanese is the edict of Toxic
under which exports of rice to
Hawaii are permitted. Another
limitation is that the rice must be
used only as food and not for the
manufacture of sake, the Japanese
national drink.
Orders to this effect have been
issued by the Japanese consulate
general for Hawaii.
Japan is short of rice, but is will
ing to accept the shortage to supply
it for the white population
This it is thought will pre- baby
work a hardship on the Caucasian
populance later in the year, as Ha-

HUNS DESTROY MUNITIONS

WITH THE AMERICANS.-Ae-
riel scouting parties reported today
that they believe the Germans were
destroying ammunition dumps, and
the violent explosions frequently
heard by the troops along the Vesle
line would appear to bear out the
statements of the scouts. One avi-
ator reported that he heard a terri
fic explosion at Villers Emprayers,
on the south bank of the Aisne and
directly north of Fismes. 1t is
thought that the Germans are re-
peating the tactics adopted by them
prior to the great withdrawal of the
main body Of their troops on the
Marine front, and are now planning
retirement on a large scale.
Towns Occupied.
The Americans this morning oc-
cupied the villages of Basouches and
Flsmette, which places the Germans
had evidently evacuated during the
night, and by noon strong American
units, following the retreating Ger
mans, advanced beyond the occupied
positions and reached the slopes on
the northern side of the plateau
between the Vesle and the Aisne.
Every indication points to the fact
that the Germans had retired their
main body across the Aisne.

ATTENDANCE At
N[NANA SCHOOL
SHOWS INCREASE
Miss Luella ShAffer, the Principal
Opens New School Term In
Nenana

Miss Luella Shaffer, the newly
appointed principal of the Franklin
K. Lane school, assisted by Mrs NJ
A. Schaeffer, opened the winter
term of the school last Tuesday with
an attendance of thirty-four pupils
Six new pupils were added to the
roll this term. There were twenty
eight pupils attending the school
last term.
Several other pupils will be added
to the attendance list in the near
future, both in the higher and lower
grades, some of whom are now on
the way to Nenana.
Miss Shaffer has had very con-
siderable experience in school work,
and on being selected by the school
board to take charge of the training
of Nenana's younger generation, re-
linquished her position in the Sitka
government school, arriving here re-
Gently. She is favorably impressed
with our town and school and hopes
to see both grown in importance as
time goes on. The school at Sitka
which Miss Shaffer had charge of
was much larger and had a bigger
attendance of pupils than the Frank
lin K. Lane can boast of at present,
but this condition is bound to i'm
prove with the growth of the city
and population.
Mrs. NJ. A. Schaeffer, who assists
Miss Shaffer in the school work has
had considerable experience in school
work. She was last engaged in this
work at Ukiah, Cal.
At present eight grades are
taught in the Franklin X. Lane
school; thirteen pupils comprising
the higher grades are taught by
Miss Shaffer in one of the rooms
in the building, and FL pupils COM
prising the lower grades are taught
by Mrs. Schaeffer in another.
Miss Shaffer, the principal of the
school, stated that she was very
much pleased with the way in which
the school board had arranged for
the work to be done, especially as
regards the equipment and supplies
available, which she said was ample
for all purposes. She was also much
pleased with the school building,
which was fitted with all the mod
ern conveniences for the health and
comfort of the pupils attending the
school.

planes became known here recently
The arms of the black cross are now
straight mot curved as formerly
with white edges. The change is
said to have been made because
the previous form made recognition
of German machines difficult and
easily led to confusion with the
circular signs on Entente airplanes.

BRITISH ADVANCE

LONDON.-The British troops,
continuing their advance along the
Flanders front, made marked prog
ress last night and, overcoming the
resistance offered, compelled the
enemy to give ground. They cap
tured the village of Ploegsteerm and
Hill 63 after much heavy fighting.
The Germans held on with great
tenacity to their positions on Hill SO
but the persistent heavy attacks of
the Britishers proved too much for
the defenders, who finally retired,
leaving many dead and wounded be-
hind. The British Immediately &C.
cupied and consolidated this posi-
ton and advance guards, scouts and
accommodating parties were sent out
preparatory to further advance
in force.
Drive Southwards.
Driving in southerly direction
from Neuve Chapelle to Givenchy,
the advancing British line succeeded
in reaching the old line held by
them up to last April. Their ad-
vance was disputed at several points
but the resistance offered was of a
feeble nature and was easily over

with their recent victories every

ASK PEACE, BUT COMMIT
CRIMES"
Lord Balfour Says Huns Haven't Had
a Change at Heart.

London, Oct. lido not forget
that while asking for peace Germany
is perpetrating the most cowardly
crimes Lord Balfour said today in
addressing luncheon of American
editors. Balfour characterized the
sinking of the Leinster as "barbar-
ISM"
They were brutes before the war
and will remain brutes," he said.
"The alleged change in their constitu-
ton has not changed their hearts.
1--WE have to make right peace.
and do not think asrigkt peace is a
very easy thing to make. Our enc
mics are attempting to change their
constitution, but appear to have no
notion that what we call change is
not. so much change in the formal
purpose of the government, - q
change of heart whereby the govern
ment is to be directed and animated"

A CLARIFIED SITUATION.

When the President asked Ger.
many the three questions consider,
able body of critics were alarmed
They said the situation which the
President had purposely and deliber-
ately created would lead him into
mistakes, and they scolded him very
much a, they might have done had
he made the mistakes they we're
afraid he would make.
Then came the answer to Germany
implying by unmistakabe inference
that the Germans will have to SUR
render before they enjov the peace
for which they long. This was an
answer which met to the full the
wishes of those who had been worry
ing the day before for fear the Presi-
dent would be trapped into some sort
of comprimised settlement of the war.
They had to admit that the answer
was a good answer, that it left no
opening for German trickery and laid
out a program of war to the finish
However, it would not do to admit
frankly that they had been wrong
from the beginning, and therefore,
we hear the sulky reservation that,
while the Presidents answer meets
the situation, he ought not to have
asked the questions, but should in
stead have beloved Surrender" at
Prince Max the instant he asked for
peace conference.
Instead of that, the President,
without COMMITTING himself to any
thing, took the opportunity to ask the
German Chancellor just how far he
would go to- secure AN armistice for
the German Empire, and he got an
answer showing that, even in the in
ner circles of the Government, Ger
man morale is at low ebb. Does
anybody imagine that the Kaiser
would have effaced himself four
months ago as he did efface himself
in the negotiation just closed? Is
there the remotest possibility that the
German Government would have had
anything but scorn for the IA prin-
ciples last March? So far has the
German Government come toward
the admission Of defeat.
: 1t is valuable to know this for the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the Allies and for
the instruction of the German people.
They have q better measure Of their
Kaiser's state of mind today than
they ever had before, and the knowl-
edge thew gained does not cheer them
on to battle.
Moreover, through the CORE
spondence the President secured an
opportunity to tell the German peo-
pie what they must do and how much
further their Government must come
to be relieved of the burden of dis
astrous war. p
The situation behind both battle
fronts Is cleared. The issues h.
volved in the war were never 90 well
defined a. now and the world 10 debt.

as promptly and as forcefully as they

as promptly and as forcefully as they
were expressed.
Every proposition to help push the
war--to force Germany to surrender
internationally must be met with all
our resources.
Before America today is the Fourth
Liberty Loan, the oversubscription of
which would do more to convince the
Huns that our peace terms are final
than all the flamboyant speeches that
could be made or all the lurid editors
ials that could be written.
In the Liberty Loan campaign
American money is going to talk
mighty loud and Germany is listening
mighty hard in the hopes that it will
show weakness behind our de-
mands for unconditional surrender.
X tagging Liberty Loan this time
would be weakening to the Allies and
source of strength to the Beast Of
Berlin.
