SOPHIA ASHORE AND PASSENGERS l BE BROUGHT HERE
 Princess Boat Goes Ashore During the Early Morn- ing in a Binding Snow Storm.
 BOATS TO THE RESCUE Vessel Touches on Van- derbiIt Reef and Believed That SheWiII Float at High Tide.
BOATS TO THE RESCUE

In a binding snow storm, the steamer Princess Sophia of the Can adian Pacific Railway Company, Capt !. P. Locke in con nand, went ashore on rr anderbilt rect four miles West of seftinel Island at ? o'clock this morn62g. She had aboard 26S pas sengers taken on at Skagway. The calls of the Princess Sophia's wire less were received here about 2:1E this morning.
 The passengers are all safe, and as far as is known, the boat is moi badly damaged.
 The Juneau office of the c. P. R cabled to Fort Seward and secured the services of the Peterson which was sent from the Fort at 3:45 this morning to take as many passengers from the boat as she could carry The Estebeth and the Amy left here about the same time and the Lone Fishermen left about seven o'clock this morning for the scene of the accident The King and Winge was sent up at eleven o'clock.
 The word received from Capt Locke is that she is not taking WI ter. He said also that he expected to get her off the reef at high tide at 4:40 this afternoon. The Prin cess Sophia is bulkheaded and built with a double bottom. Just how badly she is damaged will be determ ined later.
 The Peterson, Amy and Estebeth should arrive in Juneau with the Princess Sophia's passengers about three or four o'clock this afternoon
 The place where the Sophia went ashore is about half way between Juneau and Skagway, near the mid. dle of Lynn Canal, four miles West of Sentinel Island
 The, Elsinore and the Excursion left Juneau, for the Princess Sophia about 11:30 o'clock this morning.
 In addition to the 26S passengers, the Princess Sophia had aboard "A horses and five tons of freight.
 q have wired for a special steam CT to be sent here to care for the Princess Sophia's passengers" said F. F. w. Lowle this morning. "l think it likely that the Princess Al ice will be sent up to take them South.
 We were in luck last night in securing the Peterson. There is no night operator in the cable office at Haines but Cary Tubbs, who was in the Juneau cable office last night called Haines for three-quarters of an hour until some passerby must have heard the calls and found the Haines operator"

FRENCH WELCOME DEPUTIES FROM
 RECAINED LILLE.
After Years in Hands of Huns Legislators Return Paris; Are Cheered;
 Describe Horrors.

PARIS, Oct. 24.-The Chamber of Deputies enthusiastically welcomed the Lille Deputies, DeIory and Raghe- boon, who have returned to their seats after years in the hands of the Germans.
 Deputy DeIory informed the other deputies in the Chamber that it was impossible to denounce all of the crimes the Germans had committed during their occupation.
 He said among the most abomina- bIe, was the carrying off of women and girls of 19 and 16, by enemy soldiers, and their enforced submis- sion to medical examinations, and their being obliged to work under machine gun fire from their own people for the German army.
 The Chamber shouted it's indiena. tion. One member cried: we shall never forget. We shall tell our children what DeIory has told US and shall pass the word on from generation to generation of French men,"
 Deputy DeIory said Lens Plains were nothing but immense areas of ruins, with not a single house intact. He says there cannot be a French man who doesn't wish euipable chas. tisement for such acts.

PLAN TO COMPLY WITH WILSON'S
 CLAIMS STATED
German Chancellor Out lines Foundation for Democratic Govern
 ment for Huns.

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 24.-Aceord- ing to 'advices received here last evening Imperial Chancellor Maximii- ian told the German Reichstag of bill making the Reichstag responsi- ble for peace or war, which will be- come effective when the proposed League of Nations 10 formed.
 The Chancellor said the essence of President Wilson's program for a League of Nations cannot be achiev- cd until all of the people have the right of se1 e1-determInation.
 This realization of community law, he said, means the abandonment, in part, of unqualified independence which has been Gan indication of sovereignty by us and others."
 "If we comprehend that the siqni- fieance of this war is . victory for the idea of justice, if we submit with. good faith to this idea," the Chan celior continued, i've shall find 1t cure for our present wounds and a reservoir of further strength"
 The Chancellor said that he and his colleagues were armed with the establishment of the political author. ity of the German people.

WILSON REPLIES
 QUICKLY AND NO
 CHANGE RESULTS
Germany Must Meet All of Presidents Conditions
 Before She Takes Up
 Negotiations; or Yield.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The Pres ident's position is not altered by the latest German note, and his reply to it simply makes that more plain. The situation Is now believed to be closed so that there will be no more negotiations until the Germans evac- uate Allied territory, establishes a government that is representative of the people, meet the Presidents de- mands to stop inhumanities and the destruction of private property, per init seIf-determination as to gov ernment by the peoples of that coun- try, and otherwise conform to his requirements previously stated, or unti; they agree to military status that will be equivalent to surrender.
 The Presidents reply to the Ger man note was made within a few hours after the receipt of the note.
 In the meantime the war will pro- ceed.

Delegates to Congress Rid dies Wick's Speech at Westward City and
 PIeases People.
COVERS ALL ISSU ES
All Issues Before Territory Covered in a Mastery Manner by AIaska's
 Representative.

CORDOvA, Oct. 24. = Delegate Charles A. Sulzer addressed one of the largest audiences that ever as sembled at Cordova last night, and made very effective answer to Judge Wickershams recent speech here, in which charges of pro-Ger manism and slackerism were made against Delegate Sulzer.
 Delegate Sulzer referred to his birth. He said he was born in New Jersey and was given an American education and an American rearing He said his father was German, but was exiled from Germany when he was IS years of age with hundreds of others with whom he had cooper ated in an effort to overthrow au- tocracy in that country. His father never returned to Germany, and never desired to return. He married an American wife and reared an American family. Three of his sons including the present Delegate from Alaska, enlisted in the Army during the Spanish War, two of them gave up their lives in the Philippines.
 MT. Sulzer said that he had been helping the Government to win the war in every way possible, and asked what Wickersham had done to that end
 Wickersham Has Been Holding
 Alaska Back
 He answered the question by de claring that Wickersham, Fighting Jim," instead of fighting the Kaiser had devoted himself to fighting the work of Alaska's Delegate and Alas ka's best friends in Washington "He is willing to sacrifice his rela lives, but has done nothing himself ' said the Delegate.
 The Fisheries Bill
 Delegate Sulzer discussed the fish cries bill. He said the fisheries situation demanded quick action, and that action should have been taken long ago. He said that Wickersham had been in Congress for eight years and had done nothing, except to give his consent that the Organic Act should provide that the Territorial Legislature should have no power tc legislate on the subject He ex plained that he had never claimed perfection for his bill, that he intro duced it with the firm conviction that his plan to protect and expand the spawning grounds and to per

TANKS OVERCOME
 HUN RESISTANCE
 ON MEUSE FRONT
Americans Clean Germans Up in Boyade Forest, and Capture Town on
 West of Mouse.

WITH THE AMERICANS, Oct. "A. Despite the most stubborn and ter rife resistance, during which the Germans sacrificed themselves even to the last man in many instances, the Americans have cleaned up Boy ade Forest West of Brieulles.
 The fight started week ago and has been one of the most stubborn since the beginning of the Argonne and Mouse offensive.
 The Americans were forced to re- tire at times under terrific pressure of fresh troops hurled against them only to rush forward again in all night operations. The minute the Germans hoped for a breathing spell from driving back the Americans, the latter were at them again pelI-meIi, recapturing the ground they had lost and advancing their lines. These constant quick counters on the part Of the Yankees are proving a great puzzle to the Germans and are with. out precedent in warfare.
