Alsation Is Now the
Principal Language
in Strasbourg Streets

Strasburg, Dec. 4.-The language
most commonly heard on the streets
here is not German nor French, but
Alsatian, patois not more dissimilar
to French than is the patois of the
Bretagne farmer or Brest longshore-
men. Strasburgers are intent, how
ever, to ELIMINATE German as much
as possible.
This evening I heard loud talking
in corner of a dinfngroom of the
hotel just behind my table, it was
the head-waiter berating one of his
help. The voice bore a specially
strong German accent, although the
words were French. They were: II
don't want to hear a single word of
German spoken here; French it must
be from now on"

In the dis cussion it was claimed that fisher men and even other tradesmen who live in Alaska are compelled to pay their fare to Seattle in order to sign up for working season in Alaska and be sure of employment. Those taking part in the discussion claimed there were a number of families and others in Juneau who wanted to se- cure work this Summer in the Alas kan canneries, and it was to the interest of this and all Alaskan com munities to all work together to see that Alaskans were offered the first chance for those who have their. in- terests in Alaska.

The party rounded the end of Douglas Island and ran into a fierce Northerly wind and decided that it would be i'm possible to operate at the scene of the wreck and returned to port. Cap tain Jacobsen is now convinced that the stretch of water where the Prin- cess Sophia plunged to her death, is much worse than the famed Bay of Biscay," When there is calm weather in other places the wind keeps doing business there.
 The men left this morning over the bar to try and get to the scene of the wreck.

 He was with the battery which sent the first American shell whist. ling on it's way to announce that the Yankees were on the firing line He fought through the whole of the war and in more than one encounter his companions were killed and he mar rowly escaped death by what all accounts claim was a miracle. He was wounded four times and has been in various hospitals since Sep tember 27th, received his discharge last Saturday, as unfit for further military service"

,TAPD TO ESTIMATE DAMAGE CAUSED TO
 BELGIUM BY HUNS

BRUSSELS, Feb. 10.-Thus far 1t has been impossible to estimate the extent of damage caused in Belgium by the Germans, or to fix, even ap- proximately the amount of indemnity which Belgium will demand from Germany
 In the majority of the factories which the Belgians were allowed to operate during German occupation, the plant remains, but everywhere all stocks of raw materials have been entirely removed.
 In the other factories, which the Belgians were not allowed to operate, there was systematic removal of all the machinery which was dis mantled and sent to Germany. The to whom the machinery was shipped have been ascertained.
 Belgian industrial circles seem to be divided whether to attempt to re- cover the stolen machinery from Germany, now necessarily worn, to to buy new machinery abroad and to make Germany pay for it.
 The Belgian coal fields in the re- gions of Mons, Charleroi and Liege were operated by the Germans who used Belgian coal as currency to ob- tain from Holland provisions, cattle and horses. Thus, while the Belgian population suffered from cold, coal rose in price to 400 or 300 francs a ton and Belgians witnessed the spec. tacle of workmen weakened by pri- vations forced to drag heavy carts loaded with coal, taking the place of the horses which the Germans had stolen.

TYBO, New, Feb. 11.-Tybo's old school bell rings no more, and there is no small boy to be glad. In fact the Tybo school has been closed be- cause there isn't even one child of school age here. The teacher, Miss Hattie Ewing, of Tonopah, left be- fore the holidays, after the moving van emptied the homes which had supplied her pupils.
 A few months ago Tybo was a thriving mining community. Today the mines are closed and nearly ev- cry family has gone. A few hang on with the expectation that develop ments of the next few months will bring a revival of activity in the mines and new life to the town. Just now there is only one child in town and he is not of school age.
