PEASANT PARTY LEADER
TRIED TO STOP BULGARIA

LONDON.-M. Stambuliwsky, the
leader of the Peasants party and
head of the New Peasants govern
ment in Bulgaria, was among those
who sought to prevent King Ferdi-
nand from committing Bulgaria to
war on the side of the Central
Powers.
At the conference of party lead
ers held with the king at the palace,
M Stambuliwsky spoke his mind
freely, telling the king that he was
leading the country to destruction
and that he would pay for his crime
with his crown and perhaps with
his head.
To this the king replied that
Stambuliwsky need have no concern
for the royal head, but had better
take care of his own. Later STAN.

HIGH GRADE TOBACCO
MORE PLENTIFUL NOW

SALONIKI.-The opening up of
Bulgaria to tho Allies has caused
the release of $6,OOO,000 worth of
American-owned tobacco in the
towns of Sores Drama and Kavalla
on the Greek coast of the Aegean
Sea bordering Turkey, occupied by
the Bulgars until their surrender.
The transportation of this supply
may materially affect the shortage
in high-grade tobacco.
Since the beginning of the war
huge new acreages in Greek Mace.
donia have become the principal
tobacco source of Europe The
Greek crop has increased IS per
cent during the war. The labor
comes mainly from skilled Turkish
growers who escaped from Smyrna
and European Turkey to produce to-
bacco in Greece for Entente armies.

SPECIAL MEETING
OF NENANA CLUB

The members of the Nera1ls club
held special meeting at the club
rooms last night to discuss import
ant matters regarding the welfare
of the club and the membership and
also to provide additional attractions
during the winter season.
The attendance was not as good
as it might have been, due possibly
to the holidays, but there was a
sufficient number of members to
make the meeting interesting.
The question of an additional pool
table was discussed at length and it
was decided to purchase good
table that happened to be on sale
at the present time; steps will be
taken at once to acquire and install
this table as soon as possible.
A committee was appointed to
take in hand the arrangements for
another get together smoker to be
held in the near future, the date
of the smoker to be arranged so
that it will not conflict with the
Commercial club smoker. They were
also empowered to enlist the aid of
local talent and get up program.
Ed Cronin, the newly appointed
secretary of the club, was duly in
stalled as such secretary.
That the club picked out a good
live smoker committee is evidenced
by the speed they have shown in
the matter of enlisting talent for
the program to be rendered on that
occasion. A member of the COM
mittee stated this morning that sew
eral promises had already been Sc
cured for interesting items of the
program. Ed Cronin, who was for
merly a member of the Morgan
Athletic club of Chicago, has prom
ised to contribute. buck and wing
dance; Kenneth Finlayson will con-
tribute solo or two; R. Bouchere-
Games will deliver an address on the
agricultural possibilities of Alaska ;
and G. L. (Cap) Hall will speak
about the propagation of reindeer
in Interior Alaska in it's relation to
solving the meat question.
It is expected that the smoker
will take place about the second week
in January, due notification of the
date chosen will be made in these
columns.
