IS
 THOUGHT TO
 BE THOROUGH

LONDON.-Germany is now believ- ed to be effectually blockaded. Ac- cording to estimates made here, she now is completely cut off from receiv- ing imports from other than her al lies owing to the fact that the pre- vailing shortage of food stuffs in neu- tral countries nearby has made 1t necessary for them to withhold from her any imports needed by their own people.
 Virtually nothing is now permitted to go into Holland or the Scandina- vian countries from England. the United States or any other of the entente countries. These now almost control the worlds exports of food stuffs, feeding stuffs and raw ma terials of every kind.
 The stiffening up of the blockade is attributed here to the policy adopt ed by the United States in July of withholding its exports from neutral countries near Germany except on terms under which they must cease the export even of their own produce to Germany. This principle was ex pressed in London In the phrase We will not send you wheat or fod der to enable you to export meat and butter to Germany. Until you agree to stop your exports to Germany ws will send you nothing"
 America's memorandum to Norway as published in that country says substantially: "The United States will regard all export to the Central pow CTS as a substraction from the foot supplies of other necessaries which the country concerned should expect these countries with necessaries i support. It can hardly be expected that the United States will assist these countries with necessaries ol they continue to give help to tho Central Powers.
 ' Imports of oils and fats into Hol land and Scandinavian countries have decreased from an average of 75.00( tons a month before the war to { monthly average of 22.500 tons a present. according to figures made public here. Imports of cereal ant fodder, formerly 342,000 tons month have decreased to 25.000 month Cotton imports have declined one half since 1916 and imports of hide' and leather are now a mere fraction of what they formerly were. Coppe imports have declined almost to one fifth their former proportions.

SHORT
 IN U. 5. NAVY
 YARD SERVICE

The civil service has issued re- cent bulletin describing the work done in various navy yards of the United States, and also of the short age of labor in some of the branches of the work carried on in these yards.
 The bulletin reads as follows:
 For many years there, have been few additions to the number of navy yards and stations in the United States, but the war has made neces- sary considerable increase in our facilities for conducting naval ope- rations.
 The naval aircraft factory at Phil adelphia, Pa., and the naval operat- ing base at Hampton Roads. Va. have recently been completed and are now in full commission. In course of preparation are 8 naval training station at Gulfport. Miss. and submarine bases at New Lon- don. Conn.,, and San Pedro, Cal. It will be noted that these two subma- rine bases are so situated as to add to the defenses of both the At lantic and Pacific coasts. Located close to supplies of steel and coal is the projectile plant at Charles ton, w. Va. which is expected to be in operation soon after January l. The buildings erected for the expo sition at San Diego, Cal, are serv- ing a further use as a training sta tion for the navy. and thousands of Uncle Sam's recruits are being made into sea fighters with these artistic structures as a base.
 The whole navy yard service is, of course, humming with activity. There is a shortage of labor. how. ever, in certain lines and ship con. struction and other work is suffer. ing in consequence. Anglesmiths, blacksmiths, boatbuliders, canvas workers, copper smiths, drillers, fab ric workers, frame benders, machin. ists, power sewing machine operat ors (women), sailmakers. ship drafts men, shipfitters. shipsmiths, sub-in' spectors of ordnance, and other me chanics and technical men are badly needed. The United States civil ser vice commission is urging, as a pat riotic duty, that persons trained in these lines offer their services to the government at this time of great need. Representatives of the civil service commission at the post of fees in all cities are giving full in formation and supplying application blanks. No written examinations are required.

GEORGE ADE'S ADVICE TO MEN
 FROM THIRTY TO FIFTY YEARS

No Time to Waste Proving Facts
 This is no time to waste precious hours and vocal energy in trying to prove that two and two make four, and water is wet. and the sun sets in the west, and the mad dog of Prussianism must be muzzled. Do not try to convince the minia- ture LaFollettes, because they do not wish to be convinced. They derive 8 bilious comfort from being different. They have learned that no cloud has a silver lining: it is fes- tooned on the interior with crepe. If all the optimists along your street should arise some morning into a world bedecked with dew sparkles and exclaim in unison. What a beautiful. sunshiny morn ing!" then some two-legged crab would emerge from behind a lilac bush and say. "Yes: but think it'll rain before night"
 If you find banana skin on the threshold of patriotic opportunity. kick it aside and do not permit yourself to become fussed. The stalwart men and women of middle age are to keep the home fires burning during the supreme or deal now at hand.
 They are to raise the crops. speed the factories. collect the taxes. or ganize the home guards. conserve the wheat and meat and sugar. back up the Red Cross, peddle the Lib erty Bonds. write the letters. pack the comfort kits. and stand by for orders at all times.
 If a busy worker feels someone tugging at his coat tail. the thing to do Is to kick straight back and kick hard, but do not waste time in looking around.
 | By the way. here is an important tip for every man past 30. Do not tell around that you would be keen to enlist if you were just a little younger
 l Some of the men just under 30 will have their doubts. and even those who believe you will not find enter, tainment in your conversation.

THANKS GIVEN
 FOR Y. M. (. A.
 CONTRIBUTION

In the last mali Rev. o. F. Krie- ger received letter of thanks for the contribution sent out from Fair banks to the Y. M. c. A., the letter being from Charles w. Wilcox, ex- ecutive secretary of the Washington State Y. M. c. A.
 This collection, fifty dollars in amount. was taken up at the union service held by the Methodist, Pres byterian and Episcopal churches of Fairbanks on Thanksgiving Day.
 MT. Wilcox is anxious for further Y. M. c. A. work in the north, and makes inquiry as to possibilities of raising more money for the cause up here. His letter reads as follows: Rev. o. F. Krieger.
 Fairbanks, Alaska.
 Dear MT. Krieger:
 Your check for $50 for the war work of the Y. M. c. A. has been received and we are sending 1t on to New York to be added to the big fund recently secured. note with much interest the weather con ditions under which this money was secured and I congratulate you and your people on your generous giving. will try to send you some infor- nation concerning our movement and 1t may be that as result of this publicity others of your people may care to give.
 As far as know, this is the first money received for this cause from Alaska. It seems that there ought to be more. wish you would write me again at your earliest convent ence as to the possibility or feasi- bility of securing money up there for this purpose. Do you think 1t would be worth while for some one from here to go up there and person ally organize campaigns in the way that was done down here? While Alaska is not included in my terri tory, I am, of course, interested in securing all the money can for the war work, and it may be that inas- much as I am nearer your country than any other state secretary, it may be my duty. Naturally one who does not know Alaska very well does not banker after a winter trip up there. wish you would express an opinion as to whether you think we might do better next summer.
 You will be interested to know that the national fund has now pass ed the $50,000.000 mark. although the goal was originally placed al 5,OOO,O00. In Washington we sci out to raise $3O0.O0O and secured more than $400,000. Three charac teristics of the campaign in this state will interest you. The first was the ready response of the peo pie who were asked to solicit the money. Second, the very liberal re sponse, and third the amount of casf as contrasted with pledges for de lferred payments as might have beer expected.
 Yours truly,
 CHAS. w. WILCOX.

LIBRARY GETS
 SUM OF MONEY

Reverend Lumpkin is in receipt of a check for one hundred dollars from Bishop Rowe, which money is to be used in purchasing books for the George c. Thomas Memorial Li- brary. These books are to be on engineering and scientific subjects, particularly with regard to modern methods of mining. John A. Davis. of the bureau of mines, has consent. ed to aid in the selection of the books which will be purchased. and they will probably be ordered, at once and arrive on the first boat.
 The money donated was given by the Church of the Holy Apostles. of Philadelphia, to which church Geo. c. Thomas, founder of the library. belonged and helped support while he was alive.

YOUNG GIRLS
 CONSCRlPTED

BERNIE, Switzerland. Dec.-Young Alsatian girls, even under the age of 17, are forcibly conscripted into mili- tary work on the west front. accord ing to frank admissions in the Alsace- Lorraine Diet. published by the Strass- burg Post. Following complaints, however. that this means of keeping the German army machine tuned up Is religiously and morally dangerous for the women. those under IT are in future to be accepted only if they volunteer"
 This revelation was made recently when deputy filed an interpolation on the information that girls were drawn in to perform necessary work" He was officially answered that. though it was true. "only" eight per cent of those from Alsace-I.or- raine employed on the west front were girls under F and tia, .lll half of those were volunteers" The government also answered that all necessary precautions were taken to insure the religious and moral vel fare of the girls. However, according to the Post. in deference to the ex pressed wishes of the population. the imprrssing of girls will soon stop and volunteers under IT will be accepted only in case they can live at home and secure the permission of parents or guardian.

SMITH IS NOT
 HELD FOR JURY

Commissioner Reed Heilig yester- day released William Smith from custody when the latter appeared before him at o'clock. The com. missioner said that he did not think there was enough evidence against Smith to show that he had commit ted a crime. Assistant District At torney Pratt and Cecil H. Clegg for the defense. appeared at three o'clock ready to argue the case on points of law, but as Commissioner Heilig decided the case on evidence or. rather, on lack of evidence. there was no legal argument.
 Smith was charged with embez zling money he had collected for ( client at Nenana.
