President Wilson's reply to the German request for
an armistice is here printed in full.

KITCHENER TOE
 GREAT PUZZLER
 FOR ESTER MAN

From Ester comes the following communication, which in itself is explanatory:
 Editor Citizen.
 Dear sir:
 Will you kindly allow me space ir your valuable paper for a few words in regard to the Kitchener Toe" am one of the unfortunate ones who have tried to make it. and have fol lowed the instructions as given out by the local chapter. and have come to the conclusion that they ain't no such animal" for I have gone over the top, around the sides, and across the center, and have come to the conclusion that 'it cant be did," and I am sorry to say that am not the only one that has be come disgusted with it. It seems that there are a few in Fairbanks that know how 1t is done, but they do not seem to want to give the proper directions.
 Now for the other unfortunates that are in the same fix as myself, will give the following rules, which I found in the March number of Modern Priscilla, which have tried and find that it is the toe that is wanted:
 To finish toe: The stitches are on two needles opposite each other Hold work so that the end of yarn is at the right hand side of back needle and push loops we'll towards needle tips. When working as in plain knitting the bodkin should point to the right and in purling to the left. The finishing yarn must always be kept below the knitting needles. Pass bodkin through first stitch on front needle as if to purl (Do not take this stitch off) now pass yarn through back needle as If to Knit (Oo not take this stitch off) these are the preparing stitches Pass bodkin through first stitch of front needle as if to knit and slip stitch off. Pass through second stitch on front needle as Ii to purl (Do not slip off) Pass through the first stitch of back needle as if to purl and slip stitch off. Pass through second stitch of back needle as if to knit. (Do not slip off). Repeat process from until all stitches are of needles.
 Thanking you in advance for space am
 Yours respectfully,
 EDW. TYNDALL,

Owing to other matters inter vening, this appropriation was never called for. and it is the intention of the board to consider plans in the future for the establishment of the college here.

SILENT FUND
 GROWING BIG

From Seattle Wallace Cathcart is notified that sums of money from various sources have been donated to the Red Cross to be turned in to the war fund. The telegram stating the amounts and the donors is as follows:
 Seattle May 24, 1918. "Cathcart,

 Following contributed your chap ter; Northern Commercial Co.,, s250; White Pass Route, s125. Following contributed branches your chapter and money must be paid over to them when received: Nenana, North. ern Commercial Co.,, $50: White Pass Route, $25; Panama, Northern Com mercial Co.,, $50; White Pass. s25; Ruby, Northern Commercial Co.,, $50; White Pass. $25. Checks have been mailed your treasurer for all above amounts. DAVIES"
 This amount with that previously acknowledged brings the total up to $1.011. all of which comes entirely unsolicited and makes a splendid acquisition to the fund, which at this time is already over the top.

JEWELER GOES
 TO NEW PLACE

Within the next few days the store room which has been occupied for many years by"H. B. Avakoff, the jeweler, will be vacated owing to a change in location and other changes being made in the building now be- ing used by him.
 While the establishment will be changed, the distance moved will not be of any appreciable space, be- ing next door to the quarters at present occupied by him. The new place will afford much more room than the old establishment. and he will be enabled to handle his in creasing trade with greater dispatch.

SHAKY FROM OVERFLOW

It is stated that the Goldstream flats are at present not in a good condition for train traffic. The train which left for the creeks yesterday was compelled to return owing to the condition of the road bed being such as to be dangerous for the heavy weight of the train.
 The ground is saturated with wa ter, making the foundation of the grade an unstable proposition. This is especially true in the vicinity of lower Goldstream. where high water has been prevalent for many days.

SMALL DELAY
 IN DEPARTURE

Owing to the sudden rise in the river, the departure of the Martha Glow has been delayed somewhat. the high water preventing the rapid repair work on the rudders. which do not respond quickly.
 It is probable that the boat will be able to leave some time Monday night with those who are to erect the cannery structure. The Tender son launch will leave about that time for the lower river carrying those who are not required at pres ent for the structural work.

BLOCKED IN FIGHT AGAINST
 CANNERY, DELEGATE SULER
 TAKES MATTER STILL HIGHER

during the next month, at which time will be glad to have a talk with you and it might be well for the Government to have representative on the river next year, as it looks to me there is more wealth in the Yukon in fish than all the gold that has been taken out of Alaska and there are many other varieties as we'll as salmon.
 Very truly yours,
 CARLISLE PACKING CO, Inc,
 By FRANK WRIGHT. In this it is seen that the Carlisle Packing Company places itself on record as intending to do little fish prospecting" only this season. the only equipment being "a small plant on a scow." This is of course in addition to the 47 or more small boats and the other vessels acquired by purchase or constructed here. Nor is any mention made of the ad- ditional equipment. nor yet of the size of the crew, some fifty odd from Fairbanks and others enroute from Outside points.
 The attitude with which the Blu reau of Fisheries regards the Car lisle scheme for the financial re- demption of Alaska is clearly indi- cated by Commissioner Smiths re- ply to the proposal, which follows:
 February 26, 1918. Carlisle Packing Company.
 L. c. Smith Building,
 Seattle, Washington.
 Gentlemen:
 The receipt is acknowledged of your letter of the 18th instant, advising that you contemplate the operation of small floating plant to prospect further the salmon runs of the Yukon River. and stat ing that you are not building a cannery. It is further observed that you are stationed at Andre afsky, on the Clear River, about three miles from the Yukon, this being large tributary of the Yu- kon which you think will furnish enough fish for a small plant.
 As you have already been ad- vised, the Bureau is not in favor of the establishment of canneries on the lower Yukon which would interfere with the run of salmon in the upper waters where the natives and others are largely de pendent upon the fish for their supply of food. If it develops that some of the tributaries of the Yu- kon can supply enough salmon for cannery purposes without interfer- ing with the runs needed for local uses, the Bureau would have no objection whatsoever to the under taking of such operations.
 This Bureau is not aware that chinook or king salmon are so rich in off that they cannot be prepared for dog feed. although it is possible that other species may be more desirable for that purpose. In any event, king sal mon are used to considerable extent as food by the natives and others residing along the Yukon and number of its tributaries.
 At the close of your operations this season the Bureau desires that you furnish full account of the work accomplished by you. A rep resentative of the Bureau will be instructed to look into your opera uons on the lower Yukon next summer.
 Very truly yours,
 H. M. SMITH,
 Commissioner.
