RyM02S SAY POST ID BE

That a change in the administra- tion of troops in Alaska is immin- ent seems to be certain Inrorma- tion has been received from a relia- bIe source, during the past week, to the effect that Fort Liscum is to be abandoned and all the troops in the territory concentrated at An- chorage and Fort Seward. This is said to he the statement of the au- thorities at Ninth Corps Area Head quarters. The Skagway Daily Alas kan of last Soturady contained a dispatch from the interior to the ef- feet that Fort C.bbou was to be abandoned, and the soldiers moved elsewhere. The pest Quartermas,er at this station has also received request from Ninth Corps Area to give immediate estimate of the cost of putting all the barracks in shape. All these bits of information. piec- ed together. seem to intimate that some decided change is in the air with the odds f5v5riug a bet that Fort Seward will receive at least one. and perhaps two. companies more than her present strength. If any change is made. it will very likely occur in the sDring-Fort Seward News.

Friday that martial law had been pro-

that disbanded soldiers of Chang Tso-
