BERING COAL MINE
 HARD HIT BY FIRE

Fire recently destroyed the power plant, cook and bunk houses of the Alaska Anthracite railway at their coal mines and all work has been suspended in the Bering river dis trict.
 The buildings were log structures, located at Carbon Sountain, on Can yon creek, and are total loss, to- gether with their contents. The origin of the fire is unknown, and as both Charles Davis, secretary of the company, and Contractor George Nelson are spending the winter in Seattle, no estimate can be given of the loss sustained.

 MARCH FIFTEENTH
Associated PreSs)

PARIS, Feb. 11.-President Will son, who expects to be in Washing ton in time for the opening of the new Congress early in March, ex- poets to return from Washington to France about March 18th.
 He expects to give his personal attention to the work of the su- preme executive council, which promises to be the most important feature of the lnter-Allied peace conference after the Society of Nations has been formed.
 The supreme economic council is about to be organized, and it is expected that the first thing it will consider will be the proposals made by the French and Belgian governments.
 The claims made by these two governments call for the occupation by the Allied forces of Essen and other German industrial centers, in order that the manufacture of arms and munitions by the Germans can be prevented.
 The British delegates believe that the losses of the French and the Belgians should be recouped by cash indemnities rather than by stopage of German industries.
 The supreme war council has ap- pointed a committee of eight to study the problems of the war.
