MILITARY ACTION IN SIBERIA NOW
 IS N0T LIKELY
Time Is Not Considered Ripe For Joint Military Intervention
 In Siberia.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Officials of the department of state have to- day made the statement that a des- patch from Tokio has been received recently, indicating that Japan has accepted the proposal made by America relative to joint military action in Siberia for the protection of Allied interests, in view of pos sible German penetration thus far.
 Military action, at the present time is considered to be premature.

MORE LIBERAL PRACTICE
 ASKED FOR FRENCH COURT

PARIS.-The French senate is being urged to resurrect from its "grave" "on the table" bill passed some two years ago by the chamber which provides that every defendant before a courtmartial must have. at least two judges of his own rank.
 The so-called Bonaparte Code of 1857, now in use, provides this for officers but not for privates or non- commissioned officers, and in fact no one below the rank of corporal and only one of that grade, sits on the judges bench at present.

WHIRLWIND FIGHTING
 MARKS ALLIED DRIVE

WITH THE AMERICANS-Al- though the American forces engaged in the present offensive, and who are bearing the brunt of the fight ing on the right wing of the army advancing along a twenty-five mile front are small in comparison to the Allied strength involved in the struggle, their concrete achieve ments on the field of glory have far outshone and are far greater in their results than any credited to the American arms since the civil war.
 Raw Troops
 Many of the troops were engag- ing in battle for the first time and received their baptism of fire in the present offensive, but despite the fact that they had never seen active service before, their seeming recklessness and gallantry under fire is winning for them high praise from the foreign military critics and observers
 Transport System.
 The French transport system, that has been partly taken over by our troops, proved very efficient and very materially added to the glory of the day.

ADVANCE CONTINUES

PAR1S.-Dispaches received from the Marne front indicate that the Allied advance between the Aisne and the Marne still continues de- spite the fact that the German divi- sions held in reserve have been thrown into the conflict in an effort to stem the Allied rush.
 Big Guns Captured
 Up to the time the cable was sent today, over one hundred guns of large calibre have been captured, most of them were taken by the American troops. In addition to the guns, large quantities of munitions and war supplies were also taken. The enemy forces holding the town of Oeilly were elected and the town captured by the Allied forces.
 Italians Advance.
 inc Itallan troops operating with the Allies on the Aisne- -Marne ad- vance have thrown the enemy back to the south of the Marne and have captured the town of Molin D. Ar dre, northwest of Pourcy.
 Prisoners Taken
 One of the French newspapers claims that 13,O00 prisoners were taken, but it is known that this has been far exceeded. No attempt has been made to estimate the num- Der of prisoners taken during the course of the big counter offensive, which is still progressing favorably.
The Nenana daily news., 1918-07-19

WASHINGTON, D.C.- General March, chief of staff of the Ameri- can army, said that it is believed that eight American divisions were used in the fighting on the Aisne- Marne battlefront. He said fur ther that the present drive will not replace or hinder the preparations that are now being made by the Allies for great offensive planned for later on in the year.

ENGLISH LABOR LEADER .
 IS FAVORITE WITH TANKS

LONDON-American soldiers take a keen interest in the Houses of Parliament, and scarcely day pass es that parties of them are not seen making a tour of the buildings, sit ting in the galleries of the House. or perhaps chatting on the floor with members.
 John Burns, labor leader for Bat tersea, is much in demand by Ameri- can visitors as guide-a duty that he undertakes gladly, and for which no member of either house is better qualified. He knows every nook and cranny of the great buildings and is thoroughly familiar with the long history of parliament. His fund of knowledge and anecdote, his geniality and humor, make him a great favorite with the Americans.

procedure. They hung their shirts over q hedge and beat them with their en- trenching tool handles.
 I asked one of them why they didn't pick them off by hand. and he an swered, 'We haven't had a bath for nine weeks or a change of clabber. If tried to pick the 'cooties' off my shirt. I would be here for duration of war" After taking close look at his shirt, I agreed with him; 1t was alive.
 The greatest shock a recruit gets when he arrives at his battalion in France is to see the men engaging in "coOtie" hunt. With an air of con tempt and disgust he avoids the com pany of the older men, until a couple of days later, in torment of itching, he also has to resort to a shirt hunt, or spend many a sleepless night of misery. During these hunts there are lots of pertinent remarks handled back and forth among the explorers. such as, "Say, Bill, I'll swap you two little ones for big one," or, "rve got black one here that looks like Kaiser Bill"
 One sunny day in the frOnt-line trench, l saw three officers sitting out side of their dugOut ("cooties" are no respecters of rank; have even noticed a suspicious uneasiness about certain well-known generaD, one of them was a major, two of them were exploring their shirts paying no attention to the occasional shells which passed over head. The major was writing letter; every now and then he would lay aside his writing-pad, search his shirt for few minutes, get an inspiration, and then resume writing At last he fin jshed his letter and gave 1t to his run ner." l was curious to see whether he was writing to an insect firm, so when tine runner passed me 1 engaged him in conversation and got a glimpse at the address on the envelope. It was addressed to Miss Alice Somebody, in London. The runner" informed me that Miss Somebody was the majors sweetheart and that he wrote to her every day. Just imagine it, writing a love letter during 'cOOtie" hunt; but such is the creed of the trenches.

CHAPTER III.
| Go to Church.

Upon enlistment we had identity disks issued to us. These were small disks of red fiber worn around the neck by means of a string. Most of the Tom mics also used a little metal disk which they wore around the left wrist by means of chain. They had previous ly figured 1t out that if their heads were blown off, the disk on the left wrist would identify them. If they lost their left arm the disk around the neck would serve the purpose. but if their mead and left arm were blown off, no one would care who they were, so 1t did not matter. On one side of the disk was inscribed your rank, name, number and battalion, while on the other was stamped your religion.
 C. of E., meaning Church of Eng land; k. C., Roman Catholic; w., Wes- leyaH; r., Presbyterian; but If you happened to be an atheist they left 1t blank, and just handed you a pick and shovel. On my disk was stamped c. of E. This is how got 1t: The lieuten- ant who enlisted me asked my religion. l was not sure of the religion of the British army, so I answered, "Oh, any old thing" and he promptly put down c. of E.
 Now, just imagine my hard luck. Out of five religions I was unlucky enough to pick the only one where church parade was compulsory

Is Not a Spy

SKAGWAY, Jan. 23.-Word has ,been received from Morningside that Fred Crewe (Kruhe) detained in Skag- way as a suspicious character, was in the sanitarium only six weeks in 1914. at the end of which time he was re- leased.
 The idea that Crewe is a German spy has been abandoned, and he is being detained only temporarily until his father, who lives in Fairbanks, and with whom authorities have been in communication, sends him money and a fur overcoat. Crewe will then leave for Fairbanks, going by way of Cor dova, and will join his father.
 Nothing further has developed in the city regarding the plot warming. Sey- eral soldiers returned today to Fort Seward, but others will be kept here indefinitely. The story that the Peter son had gone to Juneau has been sifted down to a rumOr. It is a fact that the Peterson left Fort Seward, going down the canal on a secret mission but as to where she went we cannot say.
 RumOrs about town that all enemy aliens must report to the authorities three times a day, and that they must remain indoors after 2 D. m. are with out foundation. Precautionary meas ures were taken by warning aliens of the law regarding seditious speech. Other than this. no rules are in effect.

Arrests Made

SKAGWAY, Jan. 22.-SOldiers are still policing the streets of Skagway, and extra precautions are being taken at night. Martial law has not been necessary, but the effect is almost the same.
 Last night fourteen persons in Skag way were ordered to report at the court house, where they were in- structed in the rules of the govern ment regarding the approach to termi- nals, depots, etc, and were informed of the laws against seditious speech This was merely a precautionary meas ure, and the persons called were those whom the authorities thought should be specially warned for one reason or another
 Word has been received from Fair Fairbanks that Kruhe, detained in the was committed to Morningside sani- tarium in 1914. A wire was immedi- ately sent to that institution inquir- ing about Kruhe, and when and how he left. No one has been able to read the shorthand characters which Kruhe had in his possession, and he himself will not read them.
 It was learned this morning that the United States harbor boat Peterson went to Juneau immediately after leav. ing here, so it is supposed precautions have been taken there in like nature to those at Skagway. Although no information has come | from the Outside cable reports that | any concerted plot has developed, pre- cautions are being taken. Rumors ir | Skagway are to the effect that the re i cent I. w. w. plot in Fort Seward

BUREAU OF FISHERIES
 RECOMMENDS OYSTERS

The bureau of fisheries, department of commerce, is distributing a poster giving reasons for eating oysters more generally. The oyster production of the United States is greater than that of all other countries combined, and there is available in this resource a vast quantity of animal food which should be utilized to the utmost at this time.
 Federal and state inspections are now given to the sanitary condition of the beds and the handling of oys- ters, and the producers are co-operat- ing to assure the purity of the product
 Particular attention is called to not only the harmlessness but the excel lence of "green-gilled" oysters. The gray-green color characteristic of this condition is never found on the body of the oyster, but is confined to the gills, fleshy plates which are brought into view when the edge of the Oys- tSA VI illpH Ill COOhlllS.
