SHORTSTORlES ABOUT ALASKA
 OCCURRENCES

The Seattle Sunday Times recently had a full-page portrait in color of Miss Cordelia Jennings, daughter of Judge and Mrs. Jennings of Juneau
 A sawmill plant has been taken in to Stewart by R. E. Workman and B. Lafrance, who owns the timber right. It will be used to saw lumber for build ings to be erected
 Roy Blair and Miss Grace Rolston of Nenana were recently united in marriage. The newlyweds left for the Outside, but will return North before the end of the winter:
 Encouraging news has reached Daw- son from Williams creek section. The properties there are said to be unusu- ally rich, and only needing transpor- tation to become a second Klondike.
 Thousands of caribou are reported on the Fortymile within the last two weeks. They are reported to be as thick in the hills as cattle on a Texas range.
 Dawson people are remaining at home this winter, says the News, pre- ferring to spend a long, quiet winter at home rather than going Outside, with it's industrial unrest and strikes.
 More than two hundred men are at work in the valley of the Fortymile, and there is said to be great activity in that camp. Most of the work is be- ing done on Steele, Wade, Franklin, Chicken, and bars of the Fortymi1e.
 The driving of the Jualin tunnel at Juneau has been let by contract to three well-known miners-Olaf Iron stad, c. Bomby and Carl Edison. The company has been driving the tunnel by day work, but decided the work COulu Dc eApeulttu Dy ieICiiS It oy contract.
 George Shestieh and Vincent Bon dozza, Austrians, were fined $500 each at Juneau recently for gambling. The men ran in a marked deck on a sucker, who squealed when he lost on four aces. They will serve out their fines in jail.
 After a summer spent in the Chan dear district, Jimmy Funchion, who has been prospecting in that district with Bert Johnson, left for the States with the declaration that Chandelar would make a good camp. The old time miners claim that the shortage of labor is a great handicap in mining. A large number of gasboats belong ing to natives were in Juneau recently, and their size and costly equipment were cause for favorable comment. Every native boat, if it has a mast, flies the American flag at the mast head, and they are intensely patrio- otic.
 The season has been very wet one on the Taku arm, with the result that the berry crop, with the exception of the high-bush cranberry, has been total failure. The rivers in that vicin- ity were in a flood stage all summer.
 Two cannery tenders were burned in Southeastern Alaska recently. The Marie, owned by the Deep Sea Salmon Company, burned to the waters edge, and the gasboat Homer, belonging to the Marathon Packing Company, also burned. Both boats were total loss.
 Duncan Michie and Charley Finnie, who have been working on All Gold creek, in the Yukon district, have sunk five holes on the Big Nine group. Each hole is thirty feet deep, through the frozen gravel, where the material is hard as adamant. After thawing the water ran profusely. There was so much seepage water that the men were forced to work in the bottom with slickers, sou'westers and rubber

clare the United States at peace with uermany which demanded concurrent action by the House. already adjourn ed. This was submitted to the For elSn Relations committee and will likely be the direct cause of another, argument in the next session.
 Efforts at d compromise which. jt seemed, might lead to ratification were futile The Democrats, under Senator Hitchcock, stated that they were willing to consider compromise but the majority of the Senate refused to have anything further to do with the document. Senator Brandegee. true to his word, expressed the stand that he has adopted since the discus sion opened when he stated that he would not vote for the Treaty at all, reservations or no reservations.
 It seems futile to carry on the dis cussion with another session, it ap- pears that the League of Nations is not for us under any circumstances. It also appears that there may be no declaration of peace with Germany, by vote of Congress. There is d great deal of question as to the rights of Congress and the President in this matter, though MT. Brandegec shouts, Let us have peace by proclamation and let the President veto it if he dares.'
 What is to be done? It is an utter ly confusing situation. We are at peace. yet We are not at peace; we hope to officially end the war. yet We are prevented from so doing by a President and Congress which are pulling in opposite directions in bit ter political battle. Meanwhile the relations with other nations goes on. Exchange is at it's lowest point in years, foreign business is watching us with anxiety and uncertainty. there is a creation of further unrest.
 It is time for the public to act with our legislators as We would with other recalcitrant bodies in our midst, to demand that the situation be cleared up for once and for all The coming Congress must consider peace at once, forget politics and bring our uncer- tainty to an end

THE TREATY KILLED.

The Senate has al last taken definite action upon the Treaty of Peace and the League of Nations pact therein contained. Last night. for better or for worse, the document which has been the bone of contention in the Senate since the convening of the spe- cial session of Congress last May was voted down. Every possible phase of acceptance was disagreeable to the majority and the special session went out of existence when the Senate ad- journed. The Senate is through, though there are prospects that the treaty fight will be resumed with as much bitterness and as little promise of reaching a successful conclusion in the regular session of the next Con- gross, which opens next month in Washington
 The Lodge program of ratification with various reservations as proposed in the Foreign Relations committee met with defeat, due possibly to the statement of the President that the reservations amounted to notification of the treaty and that a vote to ,ratify would not be acceptable under the circumstances. A party vote on a pro- posal by Oscar W. Underwood to ratify without reservations met with disaster. The treaty was laid aside by a viva voce vote. Senator Lodge sub- mitted resolution which would de-

\ CHI EIEI, FOR NEW BRITAIN.

Announcement is made today by H.
 F., Erwin, of the local Red Cr,ss
 that New Britain has collected over
 $14,O00 for memberships in the or
 sanization, with all of the returns not
 yet in. Whereupon we feel called
 upon to emit a cheer for New Britain and the people who have worked for the success of the campaign. The
 city has nearly gone over the top.
 there is a great possibility that it will
 before the week is over.
 The campaign elsewhere has not met with great success. Other cities
 are far behind their quota, much fur
 ther behind than is New Britain It
 speaks well for our city that it is rais-
 ing the amount that it has been al- lotted. During the war the excess of
 our patriotism carried us over and beyond our Liberty Loan quotas and the various drives for welfare work that were conducted The public subscribed freely. Since that time 1 give that was evident before and there has been extra costs to tta
 wage -earner to charge against ~possi-
 ble donations to charity. This has ,ot
 mattered greatly, though, we have
 done our bit despite the drawbacks. Y.
 M. H. Pease, chairman of the local
 branch has been unremitting in his
 efforts to secure the quota as others. including Mr. Erwin, have. Cooper atlon of the factories has been freely given and they have allowed the workers to do the charity duty on fac tory time. A good share of :. the i money was raised in factory can ! Nasses. .">
 l The women, as usual, have proved l great q factor in the campaign. Thei. l work was indispensable and their ] number was large. Mrs. Howard Par l sons, who had charge of the women workers, is deserving of great praise for her tireless efforts in the cause. 1 Then there are other workers, from l those who gave most of their time ] down to some girls who helped but l for a few hours on certain days. So let us give another cheer for l New Britain, for it's workers, male 1 and female, and for the spirit of the { public which put the campaign across
 and kept the city's name at the top l of the list of those who are willing to l do what is right.

On to Harvard.
(New Haven Union. )

If the defeat of the Yale team by Princeton las Saturday doesn't make the Yale eleven sore enough at itself to wallop Harvard at Cam bridge next Saturday nothing will. We can accept without a whimper a defeat for Yale when Yale is outclassed But Yale was not outclassed Saturday. Man for man it had bigger stronger team than Princeton. It proved that at a score of places during the game. ct it was outplayed, generated, out gamed by an inferior Princeton aggre- gatiOn.
 Defensiely from tackle to tackle the work of the eleven was beyond praise. Offensively there was absolutely mo- body home." As an attacking machine the Yale eleven is no better now than it was early in October. It showed only too clearly that it has no versal- ity on the offense. Perhaps the coach es are to blame for that: but they are not to blame for the eleven'S very evil dent lack of aggressivenes ess. Yale didn' t play Saturday at any stage of the game as if it cared whether it won or not. For a championship game it's work was positively listless. It lack ed punch and the good old Yale fight ing spirit. The work of the ends go- ing down under puntS was poor, and the work of the bacllfield in protecting Kempton's catching punts was Wretched.
 Princeton deserved it's victory, not because it had a better eleven than Yale: but simply because it fought harder for all it got. Princeton acted as if it really wanted to win; Yale did not Yale will have the opportunity Go |, inc II Ha cisiveIy to retrieve itself in public es- timation. We believe the eleven are capable of staging a great come back. We have waited all season to see it rise to real Yale fighting form. It ought to be fighting mad enough now to do so Here's hoping. On to Har- yard.

EXCLAMATION
 READ IN CATHOLIC CHURCH

The letter of Governor Marcus H. Holcofnb advocating the observance of this week as special Thrift week was read to the congregation at St. Pat rick's church at the :: 30 mass Sun day by the rector, Rev. John H. Brod- erick The day was the seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost, the gospel read in all the masses being Matt. XXI. 35-46, the reply of the Saviour to the lawyer who tempted him, sum- ming up mans obligations as love of God and love of neighbor.
 From this gospel Father Frederick preached in his brief instruction, on reminding his hearers that by obey ing Gods commands as summarized in the Ten Commandments given to Moses, and by living in accord with the command of Gods church, they would be fulfilling this great obliga- tion, which Christ called .the one inn portant law-"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with they whole heart and with thy whole soul, and with they whole mind;'' this is the greatest and first commandment And~the sec ond is like to it-thOu shalt love thy neighbor theysef.
