k|LLISNOO IS
 IN LINE ALSO FOR RED CROSS
Slow in Getting Started, but When Residents Do, They Make
 Things Happen.

KlLLISNOO, Alaska, Jan. 26.-- The Empire:
 We are a little slow starting anything, but when my people start anything they usually go to # with all their savage might So it is. in this case. l mean the Red Cross drive. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one, from patriotic viewpoint. My people do not like to be last at anything, so they made up their minds to join the Red Cros sand support one bed at the hospital at France.
 The membership of the Red Cross came up to $117.00 at the opening meeting, with more joining right along.
 The members paid in their mem- bership dues at $l00 per member so you see our membership ex- tends to IF members now, and more coming in. The effort is due entirely to the untiring efforts of Miss Gibson, the government nurse, and Miss Nellie M. Taylor, the public school teahc- CT.
 Will let you know later on the result of next Red Cross meetings. Respectfully yours,

 GERMAN GOVT

FL PASO, Tex, Aug. 26.-The as- sertion of Gaston B. Means, in Chi cago, that General Victoriano Huerta was in the employ of the German i'm perial government, was not a surprise to federal officials on the border who uncovered the Huerta revolu- tionary plot and arrested Huerta on July 2, 1915.
 While being held for trial as a prisoner at Fort Bliss, General Huerta told his guards that after he abdicat- ed the presidency of Mexico he went to Berlin and had a personal inter- view with Emperor William. He said he had gold deposits in banks of London, Paris, Berlin and Barcelona. Federal officers here believed the Huerta movement was being financed by the German government and that the purpose of the movement was to involve the United States with Mexi- co and prevent the shipment of muni- tions to Europe.

 IS B0BTAILED
 OUT OF ARMY

On board the steamer Panama on her arrival in Fairbanks Sunday ev. ening was one Albin Tupperainen, who achieved some notoriety here through his persistence in seeking to avoid induction into the army.
 Prior to his being inducted Tup, perainen caused the local board not a little trouble by his refusal to make ready to go with the rest of the boys, offering as his excuse that he belonged to religious sect that prohibited it's members from entering upon warfare, fiatly stating that he would not go to Fort Gibbon. Ht was ordered to be ready when the boat would leave. On the boats departure he was not on board, hay. ing hidden away. Later he was ap- prehended and sent with the nex, boat, listed as a deserter.
 At Fort Gibbon he was assigned to such work as falls to men of his class, and to all appearances madt no effort to correct his attitude. Re- gently the officers there held court on him, the result being that he was given a dishonorable discharge for the good of the service.

SCHOOL OPENED YESTERDAY WITH
 BIG ATTENDANCE

Yesterday morning the old familiar sound of the school bell announced that the fall term of the Fairbanks public schools had begun. Shortly before the hour of the opening ses- sion the school grounds were throng. ed with the merry children, all glad of the opportunity of being together again and of meeting their teachers.
 The enrolment of the school this year is considerably less than that of last year, which was about 1855. The number listed yesterday was 139, divided in the various grades as follows: 1st, 16; 2nd, IS; 3. 23; 4th. 12; 5th, IA; 9th, 6; 7th. H.; 9th, II; 9th, IT; 10th, 8; 11th, |; 12th, 2. This will stand a chance of a slight increase of about ten, as there are approximately that number here who will report. The grand total will be lessened by about five, that being the number who are going away. The enrolment may be still further enlarged owing to a recent decision of Commissioner of Educa- tion L. D. Henderson. who announces that all children who will have be- come six years of age prior to March 1, 1919, will be eligible to become enrolled in the public schools.
 The school personnel is slightly changed this year from that of last. Miss H. A. Mirick is principal and is taking over the teaching of first and second year Latin, and second, third and fourth year English. Prof. c. s. Hahn will teach biology, gen. eral science, bookkeeping, general his tory, first year English and short hand. Mrs. L. K. Pratt will have the seventh and eighth grades; Miss M. E. Carpenter, fifth and sixth; Mrs. Josephine Tupper. third and fourth; Miss Florence Poucher, sec ond, and Miss Florence Smith, first Mrs. Chas Blaser will act as the instructor in French, and it is stated that a competent person will be se- cured to teach mathematics until the arrival of an instructor from the Outside.

MOOSE HUNTING
 IN AUTOMOBILE

Novel hunting stunts have become common in nature in the interior. Recently R. c. Wood killed bear with shotgun from motor boat and the big game men thought it a good stunt as well as a novelty. Ed Wolcott Sunday had the pleasure of killing moose from Bill Evans car while enroute to the headwaters of Clear creek for a days fishing, this putting the bear killing in the shade, both for meat and size Of game.
 It is reported that there are sev- eral moose in the lowlands between Fairbanks and the 25-mile post, and the one killed Sunday was evidently one of those reported. About this time of the year the big game comes down from the hills to graze on the good pasturage of the lowlands, and it is not a difficult matter 10 secure one of the game animals once their haunts have been studied out.

branch of the bureau of public in formation is another event of re- cent occurrence. Headed by James Kerney. the board employs staff of American and French newspapermen who are both gathering and dissemin- ating information about events in France. and are making it daily clear CT to the French public just what America is doing in the war. This bureau works in liaison with, and not directly under, the embassy.
 The war trade board, Paris branch. is another new feature. Headed by William McFadden with Clarence Stetson as assistant, the board here is necessarily active carrying out the directions of Vance Thompson, head of the parent board in Washington and in general looking after Ameri- can trade interests in Europe.
 Dr. E. Dana Durand, one-time chief of the census, is at the head of the Hoover food bureau that has recently been established here. This bureau follows ship movements, the food situation, gathers food statistics, and is responsible for the division of the food supplied to the allies. By keep. ing an intensive watch on the various food decrees promulgated by the French authorities it is able to ad- wise accurately concerning the ap portionment of food and the amounts to be sent each month
 A passport bureau or office after the British model has been installed at 68 Rue Pierre Charron and to it were transferred the staffs of the embassy and the consulate that had formerly done passport work. There are over twenty clerks here today under the direction of Lee Meriweath CT, assistant to Ambassador Sharp Second Secretary Ben Thaw and Vice Consul Henry P. Elliott.
 The expansion of the diplomatic activities is reflected in the physical extension of the embassy quarters.

SLACKERS FROM ENGLAND HIDE
 NEAR DUBLIN

DUBLIN, Aug. 25.-The rounding up of the English slackers who came to Ireland to escape conscription is proceeding thoroughly, but has not produced anything like the number of men that most people imagined to be available. Estimates running as high as 3O,O0O were at one time current, but the best opinion now fixes the number at one-fifth of that figure.
 The deportation of these people was quite popular. Some of them are supposed to have taken to the hills to avoid arrest, and there are ru. mOrs in Dublin that the Dublin and Wicklow mountains are affordjng them shelter.

CORPS
 0FDlPLOMATSIS
 BIG IN FRANCE

PARIS, Aug. 20.-So great have been the war demands upon the di plomatic and consular services of the United States in France since Ameri. ca entered the conflict that the em- bassy has had nearly to multiply eight times it's former strength in Paris and the consulates all over France have doubled their forces. In addition there have been estab- lished in Paris, either in the em- bassy or ir close liaison with 1t branches of the war trade board, the Hoover food buleau and the com mittee on public information.
 The working force at the embassy before the war began was abort 10, exclusive of secretaries and attaches. Today it is 80. About 70 clerks have had to be brought over from Wash ington to, take care of the growing influx of work.
 At the embassy in pre-war times there were two attaches naval and military. Today the naval attache has four aides and clerical force of about 15 persons while the rniii. tary attache is surrounded by five aides and from 15 to 18 clerical employees. In addition new at- taches post has been creat, d. that of scientific attache. a post filled by Dr. Frederick Durand. He represents the board of inventions in France. and Investigates all inventions in France that may be used in prosecut- ing tie war successfully.

flour went into effect. Heretofore we have been treated more liberally than any other part of the United States, but now we are asked to continue our wheat saving program upon the same basis that our mer- chants were compelled by the food administration to purchase their sup ply of substitutes and flour. It is hoped that the loyal people of this division will do this gladly.
 This matter is not optional with the merchant. He is under orders from the food administration, and unless he sells three pounds of sub. stitutes with each five pounds of wheat flour, or thirty pounds of sub- stitutes at the same time that he sells a sack of wheat flour, he is liable to have his license revoked and be punished in addition, and we should neither ask nor expect him to violate the rule.
 The food administration has also recently issued an appeal to the people of the United States to re- double their effort in the saving of sugar We are asked to limit our consumption of sugar in the house. hold to two pounds of sugar per month for each person. This can and should be done in every home in the Fourth division. You may be able to circumvent the food admin istration if you try. Disloyal mer- chants may be found who will sell flour without substitutes or sugar in excessive quantities, but those who take advantage of such an oppor- tunity-those who do not voluntarily observe the rules of the food ad- ministration, and who do not help conserve the food for the allies and for our fighting forces in France. are SLAckERS of the worst type and more to be despised than one who evades military service.
