PRESIDENT REPLIES:
 NO ARMISTICE YET

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senator F. Ashurst, of Arizona, after a con ference with the President today, said that President Wilson does not propose to take any action that will weaken the Allied successes, but on the contrary will greatly strengthen the military situation by his answer to the German note, signifying the ac- ceptance by them of the terms as laid down by the President on Janu- ary 8th, and in subsequent state ments.
The Nenana daily news., 1918-10-14
AMERICANS IN ACTION

WASHINGTON, D. C.-General Pershing reported today that the newly won positions held by the Americans on both sides of the Mouse were subjected to repeated strong attacks by the enemy forces. All of the attacks were repulsed by our boys and the Huns finally hurl- ed back farther east, to take cover under the fire of theri batteries. To the south of the town of Le Cateau, the combined British and American forces are operating very successfully, while on the Champagne front the French forces are doing equally as we'll. The Germans are being steadily pushed back with heavy losses.

REWARD OFFERED
 FOR LOST LAUNCH

It is reported from Fairbanks that Resident Engineer Hawley w. Sterling has offered a reward of one thousand dollars to anyone who finds the wrecked hull of the launch Flyer on which boat Mrs. Sterling was a passenger.
 MT. Sterling believes that the bodies of the victims of the disaster are still on the boat and he has been working almost increasingly, with the parties engaged in the search for the bodies and the hull of the launch, at Hadley's camp.
 Up to a late hour this afternoon. no news had been received of any thing having been found by the searchers or of the locating of the hull.
 Andy Hoey, who had been with the search parties for some time, returned to town on the steamer Shusana last night and states that although there was no ,letup to the operations of the searchers, their efforts, up to the time he left Had ley's camp, had been unrewarded.
 MT. Hoey worked with the party on board the Northern Light. This vessel with two polling boats fastened to her stern was allowed to drift with the current in just the same
The Nenana daily news., 1918-10-14

manner as a derelict would. Her drift was, however, controlled and was only for the distance of the cable attaching her to the shore The men in the polling boats astern of the launch probed the surround ing waters with long pipes while the launch slowly drifted with the tide. When the end of the cable was reached, the shore end of it was brought to the spot reached by the boat and again made fast and the drifting process continued. In this manner a total distance of nine miles was covered, but not a trace of the boat or the bodies were discovered.
 MT. Hoey thinks that Norman Hadley may have been mistaken as to the channel followed by the sunk en launch and is of the opinion that it may have been another channel that branches off the river a little below the spot indicated by Hadley as the point where he cut the Flyer adrift. This channel, he says, is full of snags and has not been thor oughly prospected. He recommends a thorough search of this channel and the use of dynamite to loosen the many asnags, some one of which may be holding down the hull of the ill-fated launch.
The Nenana daily news., 1918-10-14
MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Gov ernment of the United States asks the people to withhold their judg- ment of Germany's peace note until President Wilson has had time to give the official document contain ing the German acceptance of his terms the fullest consideration.
 Immediately after the receipt of the document at Washington, Presi- dent Wilson called Secretary of State Robert Lansing and Secretary of War Newton D. Baker for a con- ference and discussion of the terms of the note.
 The note does not mention the kaiser and Imperial German gov ernment and the officials are wond- ering what has happened to the kaiser
 Editorial comment on this latest phase of the peace proposition in- dicates distrust of Germany. The Washington Post says that no peace conference can be made possible while Germany still holds the sword.
 The New York World says that the German offer would appear to be a surrender without proper se- curity being given for compliance by them with the promise made regarding acceptance of President Wilson's terms.
The Nenana daily news., 1918-10-14
THE PRESIDENTS REPLY

WASHINGTON, D. C.-President Wilson notified Germany today that German autocracy must go before peace can come and that when the time was ripe to consider an armis- tice the Allied military leaders and advisors will be consulted, so that no military advantage gained by the Allied forces will be lost.
 The only condition on which an armistice can be granted, the Presi- dent said, is that atrocities on land and sea must cease. In the mean time the government will continue to send 250.000 men monthly, to- gether with the necessary war sup plies There will be no relaxation of the war preparations of the coun- try.

NISH CAPTURED

PARIS.-According to reports re- ceived from the French commander in chief of the Allied forces operat- ing on the Albanian front, the Ser bian troops in a brilliant assault in force, captured Nish, the capital of Serbia. After their occupation of the city they left "a sufficient garri- son to look after the place and restore order therein and pushed forward beyond, attacking and cap turing several strong positions held by the enemy to the north of the city.
The Nenana daily news., 1918-10-14
PRESIDENT TO ACT QUICKLY

WASHINGTON, D. C.-It is be- lieved in official circles that in deal ing with the German reply accept ing the American terms, the Presi- dent intends to act quickly and posi- lively. It is thought that the Presi- dent is not contemplating the grant ing of an armistice except upon con ditions amounting to an uncondi- tional surrender being assured.
 Allies Are Consulted.
 President Wilson exchanged leng- thy messages today with Paris, Lon don and Rome regarding his answer to Germany.

WAR LEAD
 WITH THE ALLIED ARMIES The British, Belgian and French troops attacked simultaneously on a wide front in Flanders and are mak- ing a general drive in the direction of Courtrai and Ghent. The Ger mans appear to be prepared to re- tire from the Ghent line, which means the evacuation of their bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge on the coast.
 Attack Furiously
 The Allies are paying scant atten- tion to the peace talk, and attacked furiously. A great battle is raging with the Allies steadily progressing.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
 SWEEPS MINNESOTA

DULUTH, Minn.-the worst fire ever recorded in the annals of the state, visited the northwestern sec tions of Minnesota, reaching pro- portions that made it humanly inn possible to control it. A careless camper is thought to have caused the fire and the dry state of the vast forests of northyestern Minne- sota, at this particular season of the year was all in favor of the de- vouring element, which rapidly gain ed headway and spread over such a wide area that all chances of con- trolling it by known methods was made absolutely impossible.
 Early estimates of the actual loss of life as direct result of the con- flagration state that at least a thou sand people perished.
 Every able-bodied man constituted himself fire guard and worked un- tiringly to arrest the spread of the flames, while the women and child ren escaped to safety, but in spite of all human effort the loss of life was appalling.

NEW CHANCELLOR
 WILL QUIT POST
Newly Appointed German Official Will Tende- His Resignation
 Soon.

LONDON.-The Berlin National Zeitung gives prominence to an arti- cle which declares that the resigna- ton of Prince Maximillian of Baden as chancellor of Germany may be expected at any moment.
 The article states further that the chancellor's resignation is con- sidered inevitable in German official circles, and, although no reason is advanced for such action, it is thought that the recent peace move may have something to do with it.

LOAN |S NOI AFFECTED BY
 PEACE REPORTS
American People Unaffected By Peace Talk; Are Steadily
 Subscribing to Loan.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Despite the peace proposals and peace talk of the past few days, the American people, who appear to be unaffected by the peace movement, are not let ting it interfere with their patriotic duty and are pledged to subscribe at least three billion dollars to the Fourth Liberty Loan during the next six days.
 This is the greatest financial task ever given to any nation, and the response of the people has been good. So far three billion dollars have been subscribed, which is just half of the entire loan quota.
The Nenana daily news., 1918-10-14

in the section affected by the fire have lost everything they possessed on earth and have been rendered homeless, while the property losses will amount to many millions of dol lars. It is impossible, at the present time, to make anything like fair estimate of the damage done by the flames.
 A vast quantity of the seasons crops, some of which was ready for shipment, was destroyed, and it is feared that some of the more pre- tentious farms in the burned area will remain uncared for and unde- veloped owing to the fact that valu- able machinery, livestock and acces- sories have been lost. These things will be very difficult to replace for some time, owing to war industries having preference over everything else in the big factories.
 It is reported that at least dozen towns and cities that were in the path of the flames were destroyed and incalcuable damage done.
 The sections that suffered heaviest by the visitation were Moose Lake, Kleet River and Clouuet.
