Too Many Servants in Britain.

Duncan Miller asked the minister of
national service, says the London
Times, whether his attention has been
called to the number of advertisements
for servants in households Of one. two
or three persons, where seven to ten
indoor servants are already kept, and
whether he proposes to limit the num-
Der of indoor servants employed in
each household. The minister of ma
tional service replied that he had al
ready pointed out how essential it is,
in the national interest, that no per-
son should employ more servants than
are absolutely necessary The min
lister trusts that the awakened con
Sciences of those who have in this
respect failed to appreciate their duty
will provide an immediate and suffi-
Gent remedy. If not, he will tell his

GERMAN TERMS READY


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. - Secre' tary Robert Lansing last evening an nounccd that armistice terms are to be offered Germany have been agreed upon unanimously and signed by the representatives of the Allies and the United States.
 He said these, if accepted, means the surrender and immediate end of the war;
 Mir. Lansing said the final peace terms would be dictated by the Al lies.
 Unofficial comment and informa' ton gleaned from newspaper sourc es indicate that the terms are prac' ticaIIy the same as imposed on other countries, and leaves the Allies en- tirely in control of the military and naval situation, until peace shall fi' naIIy be concluded.
 The armistice terms will be sub mitted to Germany at once. A state, ment has been authorized that the drastic conditions given Austria ac curateIy indicate the nature of the Allied terms for Germany. ,-

It is the duty of every Alas kan to vote today.
 There is more at stake in this election than any election that ever occurred in Alaska
 The question of self-govern- ment, the application of that kind of democracy for which the civilized nations of the world are fighting in Europe to Alaska, is at stake.
 The question of cooperative team work for the growth and development of Alaska is at stake.
 Delegate Sulzer stands for both propositions.

WICKITES ARE
 NOW TRYING TO BUNC FISHERMEN

-H-f7a VI ~4f-1ftF q
 Delegate Sulzer's fisheries bill was offered, as far as the reeulative features are concerned, as a tentative measure. It was written by Mr. Sulzer himself without consultation with any can nerymen or anyone else rep resenting the canneries or any other interest. It was introduced to secure the right of way and for consid- eration by the people Of All aska. It has yet to be per fected, and Delegate Sulzer asked for constructive crit icism of it. .
 But further than that, the claim of Judge Wick ersham and so-called lawyers who have never been able to makes a living practicing law, that 1t would put the fishermen out of business if passed in it's present form, is absurd, AND JUDGE WICK ERSHAM KNOWS TT AS WELL AS ANY ONE ELSE.
 Judge Wickersham knows that there is not regulative ; feature in the bill that the Legislature could not amend in one weeks time, and a session of the Legislature can be held within thirty days after the passage of the law.
 THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN USING THIS LAW AS A MEANS OF INFLU-i ENCING THE FISHERMEN HAVE BEEN BUNCOING THE FISHERMEN, AND THEY KNOW IT.
 They have been fighting to keep things just as they are, and that would mean abso- lute destruction of the sal mon industry, AND THEY KNOW THAT, TOO.
 The Wickites were whip ped from every field in the campaign, the contested cleo tion case, the prohibition question, the Territorial form of Government bill, every thing, and are making last stand on this fisheries bill because THEY THINK THE FISHERMEN IGNORANT AND SUSCEPTIBLE OF BE- ING FOOLED.
