TWO BOATS MAY
 GET TO DAWSON
3 AND ALASKA GET THRU JAM AND PASS FORTY
 MILE YESTERDAY

According to adVices received here yesterday there is not much doubt about the steamers Alaska and Seat tie making it thru to Dawson and 1t may turn out that they can go thru to Whitehorse. A message re ceived by Robt' Lavery yesterday says that the Love and Latimer fam flies, who were on the Alaska, were in Forty Mile and expected to reach Dawson last evening.
 The Seattle lined her way thru the ice jam at Cliff creek, ten miles below Forty Mile and this enabled the Alaska to get thru also, The ice is said to be thinning out from Circle to Dawson and there may be a chance for the Yukon and Wash burn to get up steam and pull thru to Dawson before another and more permanent freeze-up comes. No word has been received from Circle as to conditions there during the past 36 hours.

 WAR IN FUTURE
 SAY HUN PAPERS

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN GERMANY,-(By MaiD-An en- tferlv new scheme for establishing a reserve army in Germany in antiCipa- tion of some future opportunity to establish German military power Is seen by some German newspapers in a plan they have just discovered and exposed.
 While the scheme is confined to only one regiment and so probably has no sanction from the war ministry it is an indication, in the opinion of American army officers who for eight months have been studying demobi- Iization of the German forces, of how hard Prussian militarism dies.
 The Lightschlag corps in West phaIia, now the Sixty-second Reich swehr (National Army) regiment of the Thirty-frst Reichswehr brigade, has sent out circulars to all men who have served in this volunteer unit sInce the armistice, urging them to sign a pledge to answer to a call to the coIors in the event of general disorder or new revolution. The Freheit, the Independent Socialist organ in Berlin, suggests that the the men responsible for the scheme really have in mind something more than suppression of disorder the paper then quoting from the curcu- lar as follows;
 Soon the time will come when the Fatherland will have need of every resOlute and proven arm"
 The circular, according to the news paper, say that the corps IS organ izing a reserve" from among the best of it's released soldiers, the re- serve to be called into the service of the corps in time of need. Details are then given of the method of issuing such a call The Freheit, in a recent issue, demanded to know who had given the corps the right to establish such a reserve and to promise regular Reichswehr or national army pay to these "reserVistS" when ever called
