WITH THE AMERICANS IN FRANCE, May 7.- Escaped French prisoners arriving from Germany bring information regarding the shameful treatment which is being given the Americans held in German prison camps Many of these prisoners declared be physical wreck their health hopeesy gone perhaps ruined for life by the hardship which they forced to undergo.
 One French soldier who talked with an American sol dier just before escaping from Germany says that the Am ericans forced work in the salt mines where condi tons unspeakable The American whom the French, interviewed had been in the mines for three months and during this time he had lost thirty three pounds weight.

NEW RED CROSS
 DRIVE TO OPEN
 MAY TWENTIETH
(Associatad PressD


 WASHINGTON, D. C., May T. President Wilson tonight issued a proclamation designating the week beginning May 20 for Red Cross Week throughout the United States and calling upon the American peo- pie to contribute generously to the second $100,000,000 war fund to be raised for the work of the American Red Cross society.
 The Red Cross organization will be in charge of the drive and will appoint campaign managers to stimu- late interest in the drive, and 1t is expected that the fund desired will be largely oversubscribed, notwith- standing the fact that the Third Lib erty Loan campaign has just closed.
 Local Red Cross officials are pre- pairing for the campaign in this sec tion. Their plans have not been perfected yet, but it Is expected that an announcement of interest to the entire district will be made in a day or two. It is believed that the rec. ord made in the great Red Cross Christmas drive will be broken in the coming campaign.

COMMITTEE NOW INVESTIGATING
 AIRCRAFT DEAL
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. D. G., May T. At least two distinct probes into the aircraft production situation will be made at once. according to off cial announcements made here to- day. One of these will be made by the department of justice. President Wilson already having asked Attor- ney General Gregory to have com plete investigation started without delay.
 The other probe will be made by the senate military committee, ac- cording to a statement of its chair man. Senator Chamberlain, who an. nounced in the senate that his com mittee with the support of the sen- ate would investigate the aircraft situation with the view of determin, ing how and where the money ap- propriated for that purpose had been spent. He said he was ready to put his finger on the men responsible for the conditions now prevailing in aircraft production
 Senator Chamberlain said that he had positive proof that not single American built battleplane has yet been sent to Europe, although he admitted that large quantity of material has been shipped abroad for assembling. The committee will ask the war department to lay all it's information before it and invite representatives of responsible bodies which have also taken an interest in the aircraft program to place any evidence in their possession before the senate committee.

CONDITIONS IN
 PERSIA AWFUL;
 TYPHUS RAGING
lAssoclated pressS


 WASHINGTON, D. C., May IT, The state department is today in receipt of advices from the United States consul at Teheran, Persia. re. vealing unspeakable misery and sui. fering widespread in that nation. The conditions are described as desperate. and it is probable that no other people in this war have undergone such acute physical distress.
 The consul wires that the food shortage is forcing the people to eat dogs, and in certain localities the people even practice cannabalism in its most revolting phases, despite the efforts of the better element to stop the practice. The famine is still growing, and it is feared that cannabalism will increase unless there is some form of relief made available immediately.
 Adding to the suffering entailed by actual want and starvation, the dreaded disease of typhus Is preva. lent in every city of any size in the country and is claiming thousands of victims daily. There is serious lack of physicians and medical aid to combat the ravages of this epi. demic, which weekly adds to its list of victims. Even the richest of the families are unable to obtain any amount of food, and in the weak ened condition of the population the disease finds a ready lodging place.

GERMANS ADMIT
 BRITISH BLOCK
 RAID SUCCEEDS
Associated press)


 LONDON, May That the raid recently made by the British naval forces on the German submarine base was entirely successful is indicated by the tone taken by German news papers over the raid. The success is plainly admitted by the Frank furter Zeitung, which urges the Ger man navy to take measures to deal with the British.
 The German paper calls Zeebrugge one of the most important strong holds over which the German flag floats and criticises the German nav al administration for not affording it ample protection
 These German reports confirm the reports of the British admiralty re- garding the raid. Two days after the British naval forces had sunk block ships across the Zeebrugge channel and blocked the Bruges ship canal in similar manner. the ad- miralty announced that these ope- rations had effectually bottled up Zeebrugge and destroyed it's useful ness as a base for German subma- rines operating in the North sea. Later investigations and aerial photo graphs taken off the harbor of Zee brugge strengthened the British claims of complete success.

EXEMPTION OF
 MEN ENGAGED
 IN INDUSTRIES

Recognizing the needs of the coun- try in having sufficient men to con. duct the industrial enterprises, the preference Is to be given to those whose presence is necessary in the fishing and mining industries when the time comes for inducing into service those eligible to the draft.
 On this matter there was received by the local board yesterday tele- gram setting forth those who would be placed in the preferred lists. which is as follows:
 Juneau. May 2. 1918. "Heilig, Fairbanks.
 Number A two hundred sixty three. In order to prevent hardship resulting to registrants temporarily employed in seasonal occupations such as fishermen and miners who are necessary to the prosecution of the industry in which they are en. gagged, and which, if such employ ment were permanent, would entitle them to deferred classification. 1t Is desired that local boards defer the induction of all such registrants un. til the close of the season for the in dustry in which such registrant is employed. This procedure is cover ed by sub-paragraph A. section one hundred Afty-eight. s. s. R. This instruction is not to be taken as giving unlimited authority to defer induction of men who may be en- gagged in the occupation of fishing and mining generally. but must be construed to apply only to such reg istrants as are absolutely necessary to the industry in which they are engaged within the meaning of the regulations applicable to necessary industries.

WAR DECLARED
 BY NICARAGUA
(Associated PveRa1


 SAN JUAN DEL SUR, NICARA- QUA. May 7.-The Nicaraguan con gross passed resolution declaring war against the imperial German government and aligning itself along side of the United States. The reso- lution was introduced in congress several weeks ago and, despite the fact that it was held up at the final vote. only handful of members voted against it.
 The government Is already taking steps to intern all dangerous enemy aliens, and numbers of Germans who have been endeavoring to promote pro-German sentiment here and stir up antagonism against the United States are being held under close observation. The Nicaraguan govern ment has assured the United States of its full cooperation in defending Central American countries against German aggression and in crushing German propaganda.

U-B0AT RESTED
 IN FIGHT WITH
 AMERICAN SHIP
(ASSoCiatod Presel


 WASHINGTON, D. C., May 7.- The navy department reports that the American steamer Tidewater de. feated and probably sunk large German submarine after a short fight on March IT. Details of the fight reaching the navy department show that the steamer outmaneuver. ed the enemy undersea craft and, instead of running, stood its ground and finally sunk it.
 The submarine is reported to have been one of the latest cruiser types and carried larger guns than the smaller types and was apparently of much higher speed. The American vessel, after several minutes of ma. neuvering, succeeded in securing a position from which the naval gun crew was able to make vital hit The gun crew only fired four shots, the first and last of which took eff. feet. After the last shot the U-boat disappeared beneath the waters, div. ing stern foremost, apparently out of control and helpless.
