DOUGLAS AND TREADWELL NEWS NOTES

ceived by their foreign cousins on the banks of the mighty Yukon, by their nearer relatives in sun-kissed Skagway and by their soldier-glad old neighbors and warm friends at Fort William H. Seward where a voyage yesterday The excursion boat was in charge of Captain Waldo States and that doughty skipper re- turned the most popular man on all Alaskas' 26,000 miles of coast.
 The excursion party from Channel points reached Skagway at II o'clock Friday night and had just settled for few hours much needed rest when a chorus that had to do with ham and eggs disturbed their slumbers. It was the contingent from Fort Will liam H. Seward which had arrived on the transport ship Peterson. Al ter that interruption there was no further sleep and at five o'clock the excursion train with 235 merry mak- CTS on board pulled out from the town made famous by "Soapy" Smith for Whitehorse, the scene of the cele bration, the latter place being reach ed about Ii o'clock. The Canadian town was in holiday attire in honor of the visitors and the hospitality for which it's residents are renewed stalked rampant.
 Baseball was the principal attrac- tion in the way of sport and in the first game Skagway went down be fore the Douglas boys by a score of Il to 2. Fort Seward walloped White, horse by to 6 and in the final the soldiers trimmed Douglas in three innings by 14 to a setting" of goose eggs.
 The ball games were interspersed with music by a picked band from several places and by songs by a quartette of soldiers led by popular Cliff Cunning, former Superintendent of Streets at Juneau. The patriotic selections rendered by the vocalist captured everybody and even base ball was delayed while encore after encore was given. The other mem bers of the quartette beside Cunning were Ed. Sparling, Bill Taschek and w. Smith.
 Among the former well-known To cal boys now at Fort Seward who joined the excursion were Oscar

USING NEW GUNS TO SHELL PARIS
 FROM HUN RANKS

PARIS, June 3.-The longrange bombardment of Paris continues.
 Examination of the shells discharg- ed by the Germans in the long range bombardment of Paris, which began again a week ago today, indicates that new guns are being used. Larg- CT shells are being employed than formerly, the calibre of the guns be- ing "A centimetres (912 inches), in stead of 21. The powder charge is greater and the detonation louder, but the force of the explosion does not seem to have increased
 A shell exploded yesterday only a dozen yards from man seated on a bench and did not injure him.

Think Before Ton Cash Your War Saving Sta mpS

The government Is making a record of all persons who pur chase War Saving Stamps and the reason given if these stamps are cashed before their maturity. These finally will be filed with the County Clerk in each county to establish a permanent record of each individuals part in the war work. Every citizen will be known not only by the extent of his investment, but by the du- ration of his loan. This fact probably Is not known by persons who unthinkingly cash their stamps before payment from the government Is due. Uncle Sam spends the money as soon as 1t Is received. When he Is called upon to refund these loans, he Is in the same predicament that one would be if he borrowed money from bank to build a house, and after he had purchas- ed material and put carpenters to work, the bank would sudden ly recall the loan. Don't cash your War Saving Stamps before 1923 unless you have to. Be sure that your season, as it will be put on record at the court house, l justities your act.

Certain other agreements were likewise entered into. The Council of Defense now believes that as one of the steps essential to the rapid establishment of normal after the war conditions, it should and hereby does lift its ban in connection with holiday buying
 in the desire to give a national impetus to the re-employement of those normally engaged in the production of holiday material and in the holiday trade.

FLEET READY TO SAIL
American. Warships in Europe
Will Meet Wilson's Vessel.
Dreadnauehts and Destroyers Are II
Shape to Proceed From French
and English Bases.

Paris, Dec. 5.-The American war
ships which will meet President Will
son on the high seas on his way to
Europe have assembled at the Ameri
can naval bases at Portland, England
and Brest, France.
The dreadnoughts in the fleet com
prise the largest ships on this side
of the water, including the New York,
Oklahoma and the Nevada, under Ad-
miral Rodgers. The destroyer cOntin-
gent will number "a vessels.
The fleet will proceed $500 miles
out to sea, where the meeting with
the steamship bearing the President
with it's escort will take place. Ad-
miral Mayo, on board the escorting
battleship Pennsylvania, will then
take command of the combined fleet
of 10 battleships and % destroyers,
the latter including the four proceed
ing with the Pennsylvania A stop
will be made at the Azores, principally
to insure supply of oil for the de-
stroyers.
1t is probable that French and Brit
ish warships will meet the incoming
American fleet at later stage, but
no notification to this effect has thus
far reached the American authorities.

Rest of the Locomotives Germany
Agreed to Deliver Are Demanded
by the French Commander

London, Dec. 5.-Teuton journalists
believe general occupation of Germany
by the Allies is imminent as con-
man armistice commission to comply
with the terms of a new ultimatum
from Marshal Foch, which has already
expired.
Marshal Foch demanded the rest of
the locomotives Germany agreed under
the armistice to deliver, according to
Berlin. Erzberger asserted the feat
was physically impossible and offered
to deliver them as soon as they were
repaired. He asked for respite, but
none apparently was granted.
Trouble in East Forecast.
Word from Copenhagen says that
Herr Barth of the new government
told German soldiers at Ems that the
general situation within the kaiser's
former domain was serious.
He praised the soldiers discipline,
but said he could not see how it was
possible for the great mass of troops
on the Eastern front to be evacuated
in view of the coming Of winter and
the hostility of the population.

say the Allies have granted safe con-
duct to German troops returning home
from Finland.
