GERMANY IN THROES OF
 RADICAL REVOLUTION

Berlin, March 20-Germany is again aflame with the revolutionary spirit In south Germany the radical labor element are everywhere in charge in the important industrial centers. The workers are not only armed but are in many cases beseiging the govern ment troops in their own barracks. At many points in central and south western Germany soviet governments have been installed and several im- portant cities are under their control. Owing to q strict censorship and the fact that no newspapers have been issued for five days, the population of Berlin is ignorant of the events going on outside the capital. \ hun dred people were killed and three hun dred wounded in the battle here Thursday between troops and civil ians. The waving of q handkerchief by woman from q window in the Hotel Adlon was the signal for the slaughter by machine guns manned by newly returned Baltic. troops. which some witnesses assert were fired on first by civilians

sEPPALA ON CANDLE TRAIL

Leonard Seppah arrived at Una lakeet March 9 and is now somewhere between Nome and Candle with lady brought from Fairbanks, according to advices reaching the Nugget from Unalakleet.
 The noted musher left that point on the day following his arrival, with the intention of coming to Nome im- mediately following his visit to Candle.
 The lady passenger. according to our correspondent, is Miss Wilson, de- escribed as late and direct from the City of Mexico. and evidently made a deep impression on the normally 'blase' scribe. who incidentally refers to her as "a Mttle of the sunshine of the tropics"- and forgot to tell us where she was bound for or what brought her to this remote corner of the world
 However we will have our natural curiosity appeased when Seppala re- turns. probably within the next two or three days.

PROSPECTS FAVORABLE FOR
 SIBERIAN MAIL ROUTE

Prospects are believed to be good flor the early establishment of mail
 communications between Nome and Siberia, via .Anadyr.
 Postmaster Walsh states that the Postofiice Department is favorable to the proposal. but nothing is known regarding whether or not the depart
 ment has taken any active steps in that direction. At any rate the postal Authorities are not unfavorable, which fact combined with others bearing on the subject, suggests that we may see the much desired communications es- tablished next summer
 The mail inspectors who visited Nome last year investigated the pl-tc. tica bility of a Nome -Anadyr mail route with view to reporting to the de- pertinent and it is believed their re- concentrations are the basis of the present departmental attitude

PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR
 COMPLETION NOME HAReoR

The Nome Chamber of Commerce
 has been advised that the River and
 Harbor Bill, recently passed by the House of Representatives, carries q
 lump sum appropriation amounting to SIP. 100000 tor continuing old projects, but nothing for new ones. Also it carries no specific items. Accordins to d telegram to the Chamber of Com- merce in answer to d recent cable by that body asking information regarI- ing the appropriation sought for the
 harbor by the Nome harbor commit
 tee delegation at Seattle, details of which were published by the Nugget
 some time ago. the Rivers and Far-
 bors bill will probably pass the senat in its present form, in which event the
 outlook for the continuance of the loe- al harbor construction is excellent. US the disposition of the army engineers
 is in favor of continuing the work.
 The army bill authorizes the Engin- |eering Department to allot from the
 twelve million appropriated such sums as may be considered necessary for the completion of projects already begun. hence the question of complet-
 ing the harbor appears to rest en- tirely in the hands of the Engineering Board. The telegram says $l3.000 of
 the old harbor appropriation is left and sufficient money will be availabla to finish construction if the engineers so decide, An eqsineer waH leav'itsor Nome on the first boat, the messa ge informs the Chamber of Commerce. and future action on the harbor will depend on his report.

ONLY ONE CHANCE TO VOTE
 FOR CONVENTION DELEGATES

In view of the fact that the new regulations, are little known to the public. it is desirable to call atten- ton to the provision that candidates for National Committeeman and Dele gates to the National Convention and alterna1es. will be voted on only at the primary elections. The voters are thus given but one opportunity to ex- press their choice regarding applica nts for those offices. In the case of those seeking other offices, the names of the successful candidates are carried forward to the regular elections and are again submitted to the voters. but this does not apply with respect to the national ommitteesnen and national delegates. Two Republican delegates to the convention and two alternates will be selected at the primaries. The Democrats will select six delegates and four alternntes. Each party will select one national committeeman.

 Literature is frequently distributed without any indication as to where it came from. Tn order to escape detection, it appears that the party members take unusual precautions. The members are known among themselves and literature is passed around among them. sometimes by messenger.
