 The day before yesterday was the first time in the history of Nome, that all of the Grand Jurors were in jail (together).
 The reason such peculiar in- cident occurred. is because the afore- said jury made the request in open court, that they desired to be furn- ished with quarters. wherein they could convene, and deliberate i'll secrecy, something which they be- lieved was impossible, in the room which is designated as the Grand Jury room, and located in the North west corner of the District Court House. It was further stated that such a necessity as a ventilation would be very beneficial if installed in said room.
 The scribe gleaned the above in- formation while a temporary guest in the Grand Jury room (during q recess) yesterday forenoon The recss, was taken on account of one of the Grand Jurors, MT. h. R. Holden becoming suddenly lndis- posed. MT. Holden was taken from the jury-room, to the office at the jail Dr. Chace was telephoned for and later, the sick juror was re- moved to his home.

Three days of attack the Austrian
offensive has not secured the detectives
hoped for on the first day" said
Andrew Bonar Law in the house OF

was reason 10 believe that the initiative
for the Austrian offensive had come
from Berlin.
Mr.. Bonar Law read extracts from
the minutes Of the last supreme war
council which was held at Versailles.
They stated that, thanks to the prompt
and cordial cooperation Of America, i.
would be impossible for the enemy to
gain a victory by wearing down the
allied reserves before exhausting his
own.
The chancellor said that American
troops were pouring into France and
had reached a figure which few
months /ago would have been thought
imossible. American military co-opera-
tion, he continued, would not be limited
by the lack of transports.

Kaiser Says War Is Struggle
OF Two World Views, His and
Anglo-Saxon; Not Army Fight

AMSTERDAM, June ls-The
war is not a matter OF strategic
campaign but a struggle Of two
world views wrestling with one an
other, Emperor William declared
Saturday at the celebration OF the
anniversary OF his succession at
German headquarters.
Either German principles OF
right, freedom, honor and morality
must be upheld" he added, "or
Anglo Saxon principles with their
idolatry of Mammon must be vic
torious"
The Anglo, ,Saxons, he asserted
aimed at making the people OF the
world work as slaves for the Anglo
Saxon ruling race and such a mat
ter could not be decided in days
or weeks or even in a year
The emperor emphasized the tact
that from the first he had realized
that the trials OF war would be
great. The first outbreak of en-
thusiasm had not deceived him.
Great Britian's Intervention had
meant a world struggle whether he
desired il or not
He said he was thankful that
Field Marshal Won Hndenburg and
General Ludendorff had been placed
at his side 70 councillors. Drinking
to the health Of the army and its
leaders. the emperor said:
The German people and army in
deed are now one and the same and
look up to YOU with gratitude.

he Is fighting for, the enemy himself
admits that, and in consequence we
shall gain vietory--the victory OF
the German standpoint That is
what is the question" "
The emperor referred TO the period
Of peace which he described as twenty
six years" Of profitable but hard work
though they could not always be re-
garded as successful in a political re-
spect and had brought disappointments.
His interests had been centered in the
work connected with the development Of
the army and the effort to maintain Il
at the level at which Il had been en-
trusted TO him Now. in time OF war,
he could not better celebrate the day
than under the same roof with the
field marshal and his faithful highly
gifted generals and general staff. The
emperor continued.
