Few. Are Enthusiastic.
Practically every syrianL~fn Wash
ington has enlisted in the war saw
Iings movement as a result Of an ac-
tive campaign made for the cause by
prominent Syrians. Most remarkable
OF all. according to the District w.
s. s. Committee, is the fact that the
campaign was organized on their own
volition.
Although washington's Syrian pop
ulation Is comparatively slight al
ready sales Of war stamps totaling
SIS, ,225 have been made. The canvass
has also proved that the Syrians are
particularly loyal to the country OF
their adoption and are strongly pro-
ally in sympathies. Although Syria
is ruled by Turkey, its people have
been subjected to constant persecution
of the most cruel sort, consequently
an American allied victory has for
them an added meaning.
As result of the success Of this
campaign, District Director Callahan
will probably undertake the organiza-
ton of similar canvasses among other
classes of foreign-born people in this
city, many of whom 1t was difficult
to reach during the general canvass
conducted in June because of their
slight knowledge Of the English Ian.

He branded as enemy propa ganda the

Said he:
"No secret compatts viii ever be

force in Great Britain.
The world must understand that IN
America there Is but one sentiment:
That peace is possible only when the

II feel that these particulars ought
to be left for the peace table.
No nation of the allies ought to
be embarrassed by a premature in
diyidual effort to mortgage the peace
commissioners to specific provisos
before the negotiations are actually
opened.
Such discussions equip Germany
with valuable knowledge and might
enable her TO Offset whatever meas
ures are planned"
Senator Lewis declared that all
questions of future economic rela-

justment and should not be preju-

Members of City Council Committee Recommend ed Lease Waterfront
 Property.

The Juneau City Council last night came to a deadlock with Mayor k. Valentine over the question of the purchase of the James and Mann wharfsites for the purpose of install ing fish floats.

 A special report from the commit tee consisting of Councilmen Charles Hanson, Peter Carlson and Nels Sor- by was read, recommending the lease of the James property, at an annual rental figure, with the option of pur- chase at the end of a stated period. They also recommended the lease of the Mann property for $100 per month for a period of five years, with the option to purchase for $10000 at the end of that time. This proposition had already been agreed to by Henry Shattuck, who controls it.
 Immediately after the reading of the report of the committee, Mayor Valentine asked for an executive ses sion and ordered the room cleared After a lengthy. discussion the COun cil stood unanimous for the leasing ot the two properties. but referred the matter to the same committed for further investigation, to report at a special meeting to be held with in the next few days.
 The Council met with Peter Carl son and E. J. Ellingen absent. Tue first action was to waive any license charges for two cars of the Alaska Castineau Mining Company, one ol which is kept at the Perseverance, Mine for emergency accident cases

 The salary of the Chief of Police was raised from $50 to SITS month ly and the patrolman from $130 to S150 without opposition. The Coun ell voted to raise the salary of Street Commissioner s. P. Raymond from $50 to $175, but Mayor Valentine served notice of veto on their action
