Late Returns Increases Lead in Third and De- Creases Opponents
 Lead in the Second.
IA PRECINCTS TO COME
Between 15O and 200 Votes Are Still Unre- orted; SuIzerl Leads by ~
 Good Plurality.

With one precinct unreportedi in the First Division, one in the Second, eleven in the Third and one in the Fourth, Sulzer is lead ing in the race for Delegate to Con- gress by at least 36 votes-and it may be by 50 or more. Delegate Sulzer has carried three of the four Territorial Divisions, and lost the Nome Division, solely on account of local factional quar- rels. A labor strike there also op- erated to Wickersham advantage.
 The missing First Division pre- clnct is Hadley,. from which three reports have been received, one that it gave Sulzer and Wickegashm 4 !, another that it gave Sulzer 10 and Wickersham ?, and still another that it gave Wickersham and Sulzer 1.
 The missing precinct in the Sec ond Division is Bethel, at the mouth of the KuskokWim river-the most remote precinct in the Territory. One report comes from Nome that it gave Wickersham 26 plurality, and another comes from the way of Fairbanks that it gave him 16. At Nome it is regarded as incredible that it has been heard from at all as there are many hundred miles between Bethel and Nulato.
 Missing Precincts.
 The mi Sejpp prpriDptS in the Third Division are Ninilchik, Ke- mai, Illiamni, Unga, Chignik, Sa- nak, Choggiung, Nushagak, Nak- nek, Susitna and Chisana. The missing precinct in the Fourth Division is Kantishna.
 It is estimated that these missing precincts cast between 150 and 200 votes
 | Without these precincts the un- official reports, checked up as far as possible with the returns in the offices of the Clerks of the Court at Juneau, Nome, Valdez and Fair banks, show the following plural ities:
 | Sulzer-First Division, 69; Third | Division, 40; Fourth Division, 2; total 211.
 | Wickersham = Second Division 175.

 However, the Fairbanks News l Miner gave Sulzer II instead of ? l plurality in the Fourth Division and all reports from Fairbanks are | that a second return from Ophir gave Sulzer a lead of 13 in addition tQ the plurality that is used in the 1gures.

London, Sept. 13.-The American

mated the columns of the newspa-

Chancellor, in a Speech at

Admissions.
(By Associated Press)

Amsterdam, Sept. 13.-Postpone-
ment of peace prospects and the like
lihood that the fifth winter of war
will weigh equally upon all belliger-
ents, and not upon Germany alone
was admitted by Friedsrch Won Pa
yer, German vice chancellor, in a
speech at Stuttgart. He reminded his
hearers that the war was still being
waged almost entirely in enemy ter
rit0ry. He admitted that the U-boat
war had not worked as quickly and as
surely as had been hoped, but he said
it was useles sto dispute as to whose
fault it was. He asserted that the
enemy were still unable to compen-
safe for their losses by new construc-
tions. He said the more troops the
United States sends the greater will
be the need of shipping for reinforce
ments of munitions and provisions
The filling of the enemy army by
Americans therefore bears in itself
its limitation. He asserted the enc
my's attempts to sow discord were un-
availing and that the Germans were
strong enough to reach decision sin
our differences of opinion regarding
economic power, political rights and
even down to the food question"

London Sept 13.-The Americans have captured IL,
900 prisoners and the entire ST. Mhie salient The rail-
road from Verdun to Commercy, TOul and Nancy has
been opened to the Allies. The Americans have captured
all the villages i'm the St. Mhie salient and have reduced
the front from forty miles to less than twenty The line
now runs directly from Pagiy to Nationwide
The Americans captured $500 prisoners in one DIS
trict near Montesc Among them was Major Count
Schmesig He and his staff had their baggage packed
and were waiting to be captured In the majority OF
cases the prisoners resisted comparatively little before
they surrendered In many instances detachmens winch
had escaped the barrage in their trenches and duso
made nerfunctory resistance with machine guns and
then surrendered detachment of about 200 Germans
at the foot of little hill ordered to charge upon
the advancing Americans The Americans were ordered
I +ho canta;n tn retreat They fell back the brow
f the hill where they awaited the rush of the Germans
and received them with bayonets. All the Germans were
either killed or captured.

Tho prisoners captured included $50
'Austrians.
The Americans have advanced
eight miles on front of fourteen, at
the southern side of the st. Mlhlel
alient, and are continuing to make
rapid progress. The Germans are de-
stroying ammunition dumps at Hat
tonville and Dombaux. So far Gen
eral Pershings men have taken 95oo
prisoners and 60 guns. On the west
side of the St Mihiel salient, where
the country is much more difficult
and where the German resistance Is
more determined, the Americans
have advanced three miles on front
of twelve. German prisoners say the
American attack was expected, but
that it was delivered so rapidly that
it prevented stubborn resistance. 1t
is reported that the Americans have
captured VigneulIes, seven and one
half miles north of Xivray, and Be
ney, Heudigourt and Boiz de Thia-
court are also reported to have been
captured. If this is confirmed, the
neck of the st. Mihiel salient has been
narrowed to less than six miles. 1t
is reported that two German divisions
were in the salient last night. If they
are still there it is improbable that
they can escape.
