TIMBER CRUISER
 CONCLUDES TRIP
 ON YUKON RIVER
H. K. Carlisle of the G. L. O., Is Returning Home After Summer
 Trip on the Rive-s.

The government launch Alaska, owned by the General Land office and which was specially built for the use of the field forces of the General Land office stationed at Fairbanks, arrived in Nenana last night with Timber Cruiser H. K. Carlisle on board. He is now on his way to Fairbanks for the winter.
 MT. Carlisle left on an extended trip shortly after the opening of navigation and has visited all of the wood camps on the Yukon and Panama rivers in his official capacity
 He first went up the Yukon as far as the international boundary above Eagle and from that point worked down, attending to all of the timber business enroute. After brief stay at Panama, he went down the Yukon to point a little I way below Nulato.
 The travelling was necessarily slow as MT. Carlisle was obliged to make stops at every woodcamp and home stead claim along the river. He has gathered much data in his travels and will take appropriate action or these cases as soon as he gets back to his office in Fairbanks.
 MT. Carlisle states that the en. zines on the launch worked very smoothly and that no trouble from this cause was experienced during the entire rtip. The Alaska is fitted with a powerful Scripps medium duty engine.

HOLLAND TAKING
 CHARGE OF FOOD

THE HAGUE.-Standar food Is becoming the rule in Holland and standardized clothing may be next.
 The scarcity of meat has called into being the standard sausage, a mixture of beef and veal, produced under government control and sold at the fixed price of OPP per ID.
 The shortage of leather is re- sponsible for the introduction of standard shoes in three grades and prices. and standard sack suits in six varieties of sober tints are prom ised for the near future.
 Standardization in women's clothes is urged in some quarters; but few venturesome spirits hazard any con- crete suggestions on this thorny problem.
 The latest is the standard cigar. Tobacco prices are soaring and cigars now cost twice or three times as much as they did year ago. The government article will be made of the remaining stocks of Java tobacco in the country, and pro- vided with wooden mouthpiece, en- abling the smoker to finish the weed to the bitter end, which is expected to result in a saving of 15 per cent This cigar will retail at Dutch cents and pickers up of cigar stubs will have to look for another trade.

 The Italian delegation of IT in- cluded Deputy Conci, irredentist deputy in the Austrian parliament. There were besides Rumanians from Pennsylvania and Bukovina, four Dalmatians and three Bosnians. Among the notable figures were Tetmaier, dean of the Socialists of Poland, Rybar, ex-mayor of Leibach, and Krista chief of the Democratic party. It was a strange medley of racial factions, and only such gathering as could be found among the oppressed elements crowd ed within Austria Hungary.
 Practically nothing concerning the gathering was allowed to appear 1T i the press, and the papers appeared with great white columns disclosing how the censors had suppressed al references to the meeting. They announced, however, that 35 arrest: i had been made; also that the crowd: had succeeded in breaking the police cordons thrown around the gather ing, and the measures finally odptet to disperse the meeting. A continu ouss struggle was carried on be tween the population and the police Unknown hands decorated the finder trees with emblems of Slav frater nifty.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

The extent to which the revolu- tionary ferment has increased in Austria Hungary is shown by the text of the resolutions adopted by the Congress of Oppressed Nations, copies of which have reached Switz- erla>d. It is in the form of proclamation and is said to be the first joint revolutionary proclama- tion ever issued in the dual mon- archy It says in part:
 "The assembled representatives unanimously declare that a better future for this nation is to be founded and durably assured on the firm basis of world democracy, real and sovereign government by the people, and a universal alliance ot nations vested with the authority of arbitration.
 "They reject most emphatically all treaties not sanctioned by the sovereign will of nations. They are convinced that all peace for which they and all democracies of the world are longing, can be right eous and durable only if the world puts an end to the existing unbear- able domination of one nation over the other, and if the world makes it possible for nations to organize basis of equal rights and free con- ventions, in order that they may defend themselves against the evils of imperialism.
 They are resolved to sacrifice everything, convinced that these are the nations critical days that they are aiding civilization in the effort to free humanity once and for al from the everlasting internationa violence and murder-as shown by the experience of this unprecedented war-and are helping toward the new era of dependence on inter national law, the fraternity of na tions, equal rights, and human liberty"
 The gathering was one of tht most notable in the history o+ Prague, says correspondent of th' Associated Press, comprising large delegations from the oppressed ele ments within Austria Hungary. Th' Slovaks of Hungary sent part. of 22 with the great Slavok poe Eviezdeslav. The Polish delegation numbered sixty, three from Silesia one from Prussian Poland, and tn rest from Galicia, including ex-Min ister Glambinski and five deputies The Croats and Serbs numbered
 hundred with nine deputies. Amon the 300 Jugo-Slavs were 60 Slov

HELP IT ALONG

While the News has not had the opportunity thoroughly to go into the work of the Red Star society, to which the people of Interior Alaska are being urged to give their support, it must be apparent to Alaskans that there is broad field for such a work. Like everything else in connection with the world war, the number of horses attached to the various Allied forces almost passes comprehension, and dogs, too are playing a very important part in the great struggle for world free dom
 Those engaged in the humane work of rendering assistance to these noble animals should have every en- couragement, moral and financial Theirs is most worthy cause, be. ing to our war horses and dogs what the Red Cross is to our sold diers.

WARS DEMANDS CAUSING GROWTH
 IN PARIS STAFF

PARIS-So great have been the war demands upon the diplomatic and consular services of the United States in France since America entered the conflict that the en- massy has had nearly to multiply eight times it's former strength in Paris and the consulates all over France have doubled their forces. In addition there have been es- tablshed in Paris, either in the em- bassy or in close liasion with it branches of the War Trade Board, the Hoover Food Bureau and the Committee on Public Information.
 The working force at the embassy before the war began was about 10 exclusive of secretaries and attaches. Today it is 80. About 70 clerks have had to be brought over from Washington to take care of the growing influx of work.
 At the embassy in pre-war times there were two attaches-naval and military. Today the naval attache has four aides and a clerical force of about 15 persons, while the mili- tary attache is surrounded by five aides and from 15 to IS clerical employees. In addition new at tache's post has been created, that of scientific attache, a post filled by Dr. Frederick Durand He rep resents the Board of Inventions in France, and investigates all inven- tions in France that may be used in prosecuting the war successfully.
 The establishment in Paris of a branch of the Bureau of Public h. formation is another event of re- cent occurrenc Headed by James Kerney, the board employs a staff of American and French newspaper men who are both gathering and disseminating information about events in France, and are making it daily clearer to the French public just what America is doing in the war The bureau works in lasor with and not directly under, the embassy.
 The War Trade Board, Paris branch, is another new feature Headed by William McFadden witt Clarence Stetson as assistant, the board here is necessarily active car rying out the directions of Vance Thompson, head of the parent board in Washington and in general look ing after American trade interest: in Europe. ...
 Dr. E. Dana Durand, one-time chief of the census, is at the heac of the Hoover Food Bureau tha has recently been established here This bureau follows ship movements the food situation, gathers fooc statistics, and is responsible for tht division of the food supplies to thu Allies. By keeping an intensive watch on the various food decree promulgated by the French authori ties it is able to advise accuratel, concerning the appointment of foot
