Country is Earnestly and

Alexander wekerle. Hungarian pre-
mier, in addressing the diet today
declared:
our readiness for peace is sin
Cere and earnest We never strove
nor do we strive for conquests.
we are ready 10 seek a just un-
derstanding which Will lead TO last
ins peace and the security Of that
peace and Of international agree
ments," Premier Wekerle added
according to advices reaching here
from Budapest.
With the military operations on
all the major battle fronts contin-
uing far below normal, the internal
political situations in Germany, Rus
sia and Finland are still TO the front
in general interest. In all three Of
these countries the turbulence of
past days. involving constituted and
defacto governments on the one
hand and dissatisfied populations on
the other, still prevails.
I'm Germany. although apparently
numerous strikers throughout the
empire thus far nave failed to re-
turn TO work. there seemingly has
been a lessening in the tensity Of
the situation; in Russia the interne-
cine strife between the bolshevik
and counter revolutionary factions
again has heightened. while in Fin
land the struggle between the white
guard. representing the new gov
ernmeut. and the red guard, which
is opposing it. goes on.
Meanwhile from Hungary comes
federation of the sincere and
earnest desire of that country for
peace. made before the diet by the
prime minister.
Tn, failure OF German newspa-
pers TO arrive at the usual neutral
points from which news Of condi-
tions in Germany is disseminated
leaves a veil of uncertainty over the
exact status of affairs there Such
advices as have come through.
however. tend TO indicate that the
strike movement has reached its
greatest height and now is i'm the
process OF dwindling. This fact is
ascribed to the seeming lukewarm-
ness of the labor leaders toward
the movement, and also and in great
part. 70 the strong repressive meas
ures adopted by the government.
Following closely upon the action
of the military commander in Ham
burg declaring martial law, the
commander-in-Ch in Branden-
burg province, in which Berlin is
situated. has placed the hard hand
OF the military upon the strikers
under his jurisdiction Under

commander informs the public that

breaches of the peace with all
means at his disposal. He warns
orderly citizens 20 take no part in
public meetings and 70 avoid
crowds and concludes by saying
that II arms have 70 be used "no
distinction can be made between
the disturbers of order and those
who are not taking part in such dis
turbances."

and protected by concrete trenches. In front of Cambrai, the villages behind the line had beneath them great chambers which it would be a islander to call dugouts. They were more like hotels, fitted with electricity, water sewers drying rooms and kitchens. They were shell proof and bomb proof. The trenches there were built along the banks of the Canal Du Nord which runs north and south near Havrincourt.
 Important German strong-holds protect the southern section of the line near La Fere. The forest of St. Gohian presents an almost in- superable obstacle in attacking this end of the line.
 Laon lying within tke Big Cor ner" where the line turns eastwards along the Chemin des Danes is re- garded as the keystone of the whole German system. Hundreds of ,.er- man batteries were installed in the screened ravines around that city and in the forests of St. Gokian.
 Southwest of Laon the town was protected by Massif of Menampteuil behind whose crest are huge under ground ravines and shelters, some big enough to hold a whole regi- ment. The forest west of Laon was crammed with a Vast store of muni- tions and materials. Divisions of troops could concentrate in it un- seen.
 Recently the Germans discovered that the big dugouts along the Hindenburg line were nothing but death traps. An order by the Ger man divisionsal commander forbade the German troops to occupy dug outs more than eight steps under ground.
 Behind the Hindenburg line the Germans are credited with three other lines of 'defenses.

STEAMER TANANA 10 BRING BARGES
 FROM ARMY TOWN

The steamer Panama sailed from this port at o'clock yesterday morning for Panama, and on ar rival there will take in tow two bargeloads of freight which was brought up by one of the lower river steamers from St. Michael, and come on up to Nenana. These two bargeloads of freight represent the last of the seasons freight to be received via St. Michael.
 On her way down to Panama, the steamer took the barge Moose, that had been left near the confluence of the Kantishna and the Panama by the steamer Yukon, and brought her up to the Tolovana station, a distance of about 12 miles.
 It was stated in these columns Saturday that the Panama would go on down river until she meets the Julia B or the Seattle No. 8, but owing to the lateness of the season and the fact that many pass engers going out by way of White horse were awaiting a boat at Tan ana, the arrangements made had to be changed and the Seattle No. 8 and the Julia B left their tows at Panama and proceeded to winter quarters. The former to Dawson and the latter to St. Michael.
 It is expected that the Tanana will sail for Nenana with her heavy tow some time today, and her ar rival here will be somewhat de- layed in consequence. It is thought likely that owing to the near ap- proach of freezeup, she might not be able to make Whitehorse, where it was intended that she would go into winter quarters, in which case she will winter at Fairbanks.
 The busiest boat at the end of the season, the Reliance, after she has landed the barge Moose in Ne nanan, will go on down stream and help the Panama up with her tow.

GAS COST BRINGS
 HORSES INTO USE

LONDON.-In England the war has relegated the automobile to the garage and brought the horse back into its own. Owing to gasoline restrictions, taxicabs are becoming extremely scarce in London and the hanson cabs of the old days have been restored to popularity.
 Dealers in dogcarts. gigs, traps, carriages and all other kinds of horse-drawn conveyances are reap ing a big profit. For six months prices have been going up steadily. until vehicles which were for dis posal at firewood prices owing to the vogue of the motor car, are now fetching more than they cost when they were new.
 Members of the royal family use horse-drawn conveyances, and the intuition millionaire, denied a motor except for war work, is investing in a carriage and pair.

SAILORS AMUSE
 SELVES AT BASE
 ON IRISH COAST

AN lRlSH PORI-Ihe thousands of American sailors stationed at the Destroyer Base in British Waters have been forced to provide their own entertainment to while away liberty" hours in the small town.
 One of the chief features of the Mems Club" is the theater which will seat about 1000 persons and where there is something going on free every night. Aside from the moving picture plays all the enter tainment is produced by the sailors. Some of the scenery for the stage was obtained in London, but some of it was produced right here at the base
 The talent uncovered has re- suited in brass band of 27 pieces, an orchestra as large an acrobat. several vocal soloists, yodler, half a dozen black-face comedians a quartette several piano players and enough good voices to stage a min strel show.
 Here is an average Saturday night program; a one-reel comedy, seven concert selections by the band, a four-reel feature film half 9. dozen songs by the quartette, the yodler and popular songs by "all hands" with the words thrown onto the picture screen.
 The last feature is what the sail ors like the best as they all seem to want to get in the show. They put real enthusiasm into songs about winning the war and getting" the German fleet, but when they sing something about home, the Sunny South or girl left behind they fairly raise the roof and sing the choruses over and over.
 They never tire of one feature, although they have participated in scores of times. With the house dark for an instant, curtain show ing the New York skyline is drop ped. As the first faint light dimly outlines the picture the orchestra starts to play "New York Town" and everyone begins to sing. Be- fore the song is ended many of the men break into cheers and throw their white hats into the air.
 q ain't from New York;, said trim specimen of middle-western young manhood one night, "but that skyline was the last thing I saw in the good old U. S. A., and that picture with the orchestra playing that song just naturally makes a fellow want to sing"
 But even with such expressions of sentiment there is little home sickness here. The sailors many of them mere youngsters are glad they are in the thick of the war. but many of them have said that the more they see of foreign shores the better they like home. ....
