GERMANS ON RUN,
BUT NOT WHIPPED
Lieut.. Col. Repington's View
of Huns Desire for an
Armistice.
BY LIEUT.. COL. REMINGTON.

Cable4ram to The Sunday Star and
New York World. Copyright, 1918.
LONDON. October 12.-When I re-
turned to London yesterday from the
British front in France / came back
more interested in the barometer
than in communiques. The German
armies were on the run, and it was
more a question of fine weather than
anything else how far they would
run and how fast we could run after
them.
I am far from thinking the war
yet won, all the same. Although the
Germans have not thirty divisions
left that may be considered fit and
of the first class, there are still 1875
divisions In all in front of the allies
on the western front, including eight
Austro- Hungarian divisions. and re-
sources are still available to main
tain the war.

If the President was stirred by the
momentous turn in the international
situation there was no surface. indi-
cation of it SO far as could be noted.
After the band of the Italian Grena-
diers had played. Mr.. Wilson led the
applause which led to an encore. Oc-
casionally he chatted with Mrs. Will
son or peered through his opera
glasses at the famous italian ber-
saglieri and Alpini seated on the
stage in the uniforms in which they
fought on the italian front.
When the Grenadier Band had fin
fshed playing the President turned to
the Italian ambassador and they en-
gagged in earnest conversation for
perhaps five minutes. The President
was seen to gesticulate repeatedly as
he talked. This was the first serious
touch to the Presidents attitude after
the news regarding Germany's note
had been conveyed to him
When Secretary Tumulty called
Washington he was informed that the
official text of the note had been re.
ceived neither at the White House no,

text had been received, however.

Who Was at Conferencep

With whom were these conferences
held? it was asked last night. The
note did not state. It only said the
government had been formed by con-
ferences" and in agreement with the
great majority of the reichstag.
Another question was held to be
there presented: Does the minority of
the reichstag comprise, perchance, the
ruling military authorities of Ger
many and include the kaiser with his
possible power of veto and repudia-
ton? And would it be possible for
that minority at some later date to
overturn everything done in the name
of the majority. through the possess

kETCHIkAN IS ONLY TOWN (}N ALASKA
 SAY SEATTlEITES
Mir. H. C. Strong, Says First City Is Only Town In Alaska On
 The Map

Everybody is talking about Ketchi- nerymen, and all the Seattle people. They all say it's the only town in Alas ka that is doing any big business, and think we're going to have an e'-2eed- ingly busy season. MT. II. c. Strong, said today MT. and Mrs. Strong re- turned on the Sophia yesterday morn ing from a trip as far south as the Mexican border.
 MT. Strong returned home with one big idea in his mind which he says however is not for publication as yet, but the main thing about it is the utilization of good eatable fish, which are going to waste in Alaskan waters, when they could be used as fooo by millions of people in the Unit ed States at a most reasonable price. Fish and meats are almost out of reach now in the large cities" said Mr. Strong, "and if only these unknown fish could be properly put up, they could be transported to the consumers for a ridiculously cheap price per pound.
 Mr Strong expressed the opinion that it was good thing that the gov ernment had taken a hand in the reg ulation of the price Of fish, especially canned salmon, else, the price for pink reached $5 per case.
 MT. Strong is heavily interested in the Sunny Point Packing Company, as well as the Northland dock, and has been in the fishing game" for many years, and has always had the interest of the business at heart

Persons Evading Law Liable to S10,000 Fine or Ten Years
 Imprisonment or Both

\ Mitchell Palmer Alien Property Custodian. authorizes the following statement:
 Federal agents have begun a search Of the country from coast to coast to get alien property still outstanding. Holders of property thus uncovered who have failed to report may be fin ed $10,000 or imprisoned for 10 years or both.
 The law will be impartially enforced against all individuals or corporations who fail to report the possession of enemy property. Full notice has been given and the time for making reports literally extended Nevertheless it is apparent that holders Of both large and small blocks of property are either not reporting it or are attempt ing to conceal tt in part. Others are attempting to transfer property for he duration of the war to be turned back to the enemy owners after peace is declared To stop these practices the fullest powers provided by the trading -with-theenemy" act will, if necessary. be eXerted.
 Only small number of reports have been received from certain com munities. There seems to be all as tonishing lack of knowledge of the law and it's requirements. A president of trust company recently admitted that he held S100,00 worth Of German securities in his vaults When asked 10 explain why he had not complied ith the law, he replied that he did adt know there was any law which re quired report.
