GERMANY's CONFESSION

Il has come at last. After pro-
testing innocence and brazenly
denying guilt for nearly four
years. Germany has admitted
her crime against civilization.
She has done Il through her
former ambassador In England,
Prince Lichnowsky. He has
been corroborated by a former
director of the great Krupp gun
factory. a Doctor Muhlon. And
the truth Of their testimony has
been substantially admitted by
the man who was G%ermany's
foreign minister when Prince
Lichnowsky was German embas-
sador in London, namely

we knew the text Of the Aus

see their provinces overrun, their
villages and cities laid to waste?
DIR. MuhlOn's Evidence
DR.. Muhlon. uf the boardso of
Krupp's directors, does not make
a summing up. lie merely gives
evidence that in the middle Of
July 1914, he had a business con-
versation with a director Of the
Deutsche Bank In Berlin, who
advised him that the bank would
not assist Krupps in certain
large transactions in Bulgaria
and Turkey" because the politi-
cal situation had become very
menacing" and the Deutsche
Bank would have to wait be
fore entering into any further
engagements abroad" This d.
rector Of the Deutsche Bank was
DR.. Heliferich, since vice chanrel-
lor Of Germany. lie explained:
THE Austrians have just been
with the Kaiser. In a weeks
time Vienna will send a very Sc
we're ultimatum to Serbia, with
a very short Interval for an an
swer. A whole series of
definite satisfactions will be de-
manded at once; otherwise Aus
tria- Hungary will declare war on
Serbia"
This is the ultimatum about
which the German authorities
have insisted they were not con-
suited.
DIR. Muhlon continues: "Dr.
iteilleflch added that the Kaiser
had expressed his decided disap-
proval of this procedure on the
part of Austria Hungary. He
had said that he regarded a con-
hict with Serbia as an internal
affair between these two coun-
tries, in which he would permit
no other state to interfere. If
Russia modified, he would mo-
bilize also. But in his ease mo-
bilization meant immediate war

Carl Hansen aud Andy Peterson recently discovered fairly good pay dirt on Discovery claim, on Dome creek, and as soon as they can get rigged up, will start hoisting paydirt to the surface. Peter Peterson, and Ryan and Company are drilling on Dome, they've found small pros poets but no regular paystreak. I must say another word about the dance, we had swell time that night in the new Movie Picture Building, which is 25 x45 feet. Nearly 100 attended the blowout. We were rather shy on the ladies end of it, but We got along alright. A delicious lunch was served, while the dance was going on. The eats were served by Porter and Go. (gra tuitously)
 Mrs. Hans Hanson serves about 100 meals per day at her popular roadhouse, at $1.00 per. Unless something else is struck round here, and judging the way things look at present, I believe Dime will be a good little camp as small pro- ducer, for about another two years. There is some low grade ground here, but commodities are so high that is too expensive to operate the same at present.
 Ed Holt is here, he has been here for five or six weeks. He's looking as fat and prosperous, as though he was the National Food Administrator. Holt said that he intended to leave for Nome within the next few days. Well, boys I'm going to bring these few lines to close. Continue to send the Worker in the future as regularly as you have in the past. Give my best wishes to all members of Local 240. I remain yours for,

LONDON, March 4.-The English forces operating in Palestine have made another sudden attack on the Turkich positions North of the city of Fl Kuds, (Jerusalem) capturing 2,135 prisoners and gaining over 5000 yards on IS mile front. The two small towns of Fl Jib and Er Ram wee taken in this advance after most bloody battle in which much hand-to-hand fighting was re sorted to and in which more than 5000 were killed and many thou sands wounded.

 Siberia Reports from other sources state that the Bolsheviki having learn
 ed, of the friendly proposition of Japan to the Allies have become alarmed by the fear of being attacked by Japan and are blowing up all the largest bridges of the Trans-Siberian Railway near China, from which country Japan is expected to alvance into Siberia. The State Department fears that if these reports are true that the American Ambassador, Mr. Francis and his staff would be unable to reach Vlodivostock. Francis had orders to leave Petrograd when the Japanese Government made it's pro
 position to the Allies, that Japan should be given a free hand in Siberia.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March A. Congressman Meyer London of New York, today introduced 8 resolution in the house calling upon Congress to repudiate the invasion of Siberia by Japan. London claimed that Japan had the most sinister motives in mak- ing such proposition and that Ja- pans proposal also had unclean in f1uences in this country in operation fostering the acceptance of it's plans
 Lonlon said that for the United States to carry out this diabolical scheme of Japan, at this very time, when this country has entered the war for the sake of Democracy, would be nothing short of subversive subter- xuge. He deplored the United States taking any such action and said the people of Russia at the present time had the utmost trust in this country

 He said the Russian people are thoroughly aroused to their danger and had no intentions of giving in to the Germans in spite of all the lying reports to the contrary. Such report have been spread by the enemies of Russia to discredit her every effort simply because the present Russian Government would not bow the knee to the autocracies and the profiteers of the world of today.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4.-The Secretary of State today announced the receipt of cablegram by the State Department, from the Ameri- can Ambassador to Russia MT. Fran cis. Mir. Francis advises that he and the Embassy Staff have all arrived safely at Vologda but did not say at what time he would start for Moscow, Vologda is the Capital City of the Province of Vologla and has between 35.0Oo and 10000 population. It is a river port of importance on the Suk- honia River, about $50 miles directly East of Petrograd and about 250 miles north of the city of Moscow, to which city it is connected by rail.

ing notices posted all about the Kan sas City Stockyards, declaring that unless the packing firms recognize the Union that strike would be called. The packers then took immediate steps to halt the strike by complain ing to the Government that their en- ployees were threatening them with a strike, which however, never mater ialized. This, said Walsh was only one instance. of the way in which the packers attempted to discrelit the ef- forts of the Unions, in their attempt to settle their differences with the pack CTS. But at the present time, the packers were so lustful for profits, and still more profits, that they were constantly trying to force the men and women employed by them to strike, thinking that they could very easily force the govern ment to intervene in their behalf by claiming that the strikers were pro- German and were trying to hinder the filling of government contracts
 If they could once make the govern ment believe all these lies they could consider themselves well on the way to have the government approve the importation of the 5,O00,0O0 Chinese

right limit of Rube creek without results so far. Valentine and Porter are working full blast on NO. 6, a few pans running as high as $15.O0 to the pan were found in a crevise in the bedrock on the claim, but the pay on the average is about two feet of 5 cent dirt. There are seven self-dumpers working on the creek. From 125 to 140 men are employed. The average width of tho paystreak is about 50 feet. The Murray boys are prospecting on Valentine and Porter's ground, they are trying to locate the extention of the paystreak which Glassner and Mass are extract ing. Glassner and Mass have drifted about 125 feet up and down the direction the creek runs in pretty fair paydirt. They have consider able snow in their locality, but not over-burdened with it.
 A big dance was given on the 22nd by Porter, celebrating the New Picture Hall which will be opened up for business about the 5th of March. There are several dumps of fair paydirt on the surface of No. above.
 The coldest day we have had so far, was 60 degrees below zero. Milton Adams sold his wood cutting machine to Ralph Williams and Geisler. c. Bann and wife are taking life easy. Capt.

CHICAGO, March 4.-The Chica- go Federation of Labor today decid- ed that they would not order a general, strike in protest of the hanging of Thomas Mooney, until all other means had failed to secure justice. They agreed to use every possible effort to obtain a reprieve and have requested Gompers and Secretary of Labor Wilson to use their influence to see that Mooney was saved from judicial murder. If this method is not successful every city in the United States will be called upon to declare a general strike as a mighty protest to Presi- dent Wilson against the murder of innocent nen to satisfy the blood lust of these American butchers as exemplified in the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce..

The American profiteers and plutocrates as well as the same class in other countries, said London, hated above all things to see 0 really democratic government in existence. and he cited an issue of the plutocra- tic Wall St. Journal, in which it was stated that an unlimited monarchy such as Russia was during the reign of Car, was the best country in the world for American financiers to in vcs, their money.

NEWS FROM DIME CREEK

$ One of the members of Local 240, sends us the following interesting news from Dime creek.
 Haycock, Alaska, Feb. 23 1918.
 Industrial Worker Office Staff:-
 Comrades, as the mail is about to leave I take pleasure to drop you these few lines to let you know that some of the Union boys are still alive and we'll. I read with regret, the temporary dificultiy you're having in the ofice.s There are between 40 and 50 members and ex-members of the Local here, many of us have often discussed the newspaper question. It was agreed upon, at one Of these meetings sev eral of us held, |, at at any time the boys in Nome need any financial, or any other kind of assistance from us to retain possession of the Daily Nome Industrial Worker, tell the Secretary of the Union to just let us know and we assure you we'll do our share towards it. The unani- nous opinion of the boys down here is, for you fellows in Nomh to keep the paper on deck, under any and all circumstances. We were certain ly very glad to hear changes had been made in regard to the office staff.
 The camp here at present is very quiet, with very little encour- agement in sight. Quite number of men are waiting for a chance to go to work. John Nelson and John Jacobsen are resting up, after putting in long shift in the woods felling timber, and hunting and trapping. John Christiansen had the misfortune to meet with a serious accident a short time ago, he was cutting quarter of frozen reindeer with an axe, while steady ing the meat with one hand he made a swipe at it and struck the meat and his hand, about the same time. The axe made an awful gash in his hand, he came near losing couple of fingers. His hand was fixed up by one of the prospectors here who is somewhat of a quack-doctor. We tried to get Christianson to go to Nome, but nothing doing. He said he would if any serious complica- tions set in. At present his hand don't appear to be so very bad. Harry Conrad and his partner are prospecting on Peace river, they went to depth of 115 feet in one shaft before they struck bedrock without, finding ny symptoms of gold. They are still consistently plugging along in hopes of locating | the paystreak.

 FOOD ADMINISTRATORS
Issues Notice to all Who Have Any Excess Flour To Re-
 turn Same

Esq. l.. B. Winfree of this city who was recently appoin- ted food administrator of Woodruff county is getting busy with his work of looking after Uncle Sam's food affairs. He is just home from a visit to Cotton Plant and Hunter and states that the people there are observing the regulations more from a standpoint of pa- triotism than of law which is as it should be.
 MT. Winfree, being we'll and favorably known to the entire citizenship of this county, is especially suited for the above place and will, we are sure, look after the duties of same to. the best interests of all concerned and we know that with the hundreds of volun- teers who have left Woodruff county fresides, there will be practically no opposition but on the other hand the hearty cooperation coming from her citizenship in this work. Fol lowing is a notice from the ad- ministrator which we gladly publish and which we admon- ish our people to heed, there by saving themselves unneces- sary time, trouble and expense. McCrory, Ark, Mar. 1, 1918.
 To those who have four in excess of the amount allowed by the Federal Food Admins tration, l want to warn you to not listen to the enemies in our midst who would make you believe this to be a mere re- quest and that it is optional with you as to complying with same. There is a severe pen atty attached for your failure to comply. Do your duty by your country at home and thereby help those fighting for you in the trenches.
 Respectfully,
 l.. B. WINFREE,
 Administrator
