ATTEMPTED K|DNAPER CROVER |. BERGD0[L
 GETS q MONTHS

MOSSBACH, Ger, Decf S-Lieuten- ant Corliss H. Griffis, formerly with the American army, was sentenced to a year and nine months in prison, and a fine of 2,000,000, 100000 marks for his part in the attempt to kidnap Gro yer Cleveland Bergdoll, the rich Amer ican draft evader.
 When Griffis was placed on trial for the attempt to kidnap Bergdoll, the court was strongly policed. Griffis re- lated in detail how and why he tried to kidnap Bergdoll and asserted that he himself was the prime mover in the plan, which was exonerated by the American Legion. He said many American officers in Paris were cog nizant of the plan, which hoped for no reward but was purely of patriotic motives. Griffis said in an impassion- ed speech at the conclusion of his de- fense "A hundred million Americans know of the damnable things con- mitted by Bergdoll, who is an Ameri- can, and whose father was an Ameri- can, yet who betrayed his country in wartime"

STARS AND STRIPES
 WILL BE PLANTED
 ON NEW CONTINENT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The possi- bility of planting the Stars and Stripes on a new North Polar continent of a million square miles, which may some day become an economic asset to the United States, was pointed out by Lieut. Commander Fitzhugh Green, of the Naval Arctic Air Board. Lieuten- ant Green says that Spitzbergen, on the European side Of the North Pole is on a line with the volcanic ice area, and the Aleutian Islands of vol canic formation furnishes evidence that similar land may be found in an unexplored blind spot north of Alaska.
 This revelation caused the board to concentrate it's attention on Point Bar row, Alaska, as the best point from which to hop off. While the Navy is preparing for it's great exploration Amundsen is laying in supplies for an airplane dash from Spitzbergen to Nome, Alaska, via the North Pole Thus an international competition is developing which may prove embar- rassing to the United States.

 Presidents Visit Will Live
 President Hardings journey to the Northland, so beautiful and so won dertul, and, in it's termination, so trag- ic and deplorable, will live in song and story. Alaskans hailed him as a great and good friend, who had trav- eled far to see them and under whose wise guidance the the future of the Territory would be secure. His speech on Alaska, the last of his public utter ances, in which he lauded it's mighti- ness and magnifcence and paid high tribute to it's citizenship, and foresaw its early equipment for Statehood, will forever be treasured. That the broad policies which he touched upon and outlined, preliminary to putting them into definite and concrete form will be duly formulated and carried out, is confidently to be believed.
 Alaska's dimensions are great and it's sectional or local interests widely divergent. Therefore, anything like a unanimity of views as to the Terri tory's needs, is still wanting. But, whatever the differences of individual or group opinion, concensus of faith in Alaska today abounds.
 Preconceived Theories Upset.
 Administrative officials and national lawmakers who came with preconceiv- ed theories and fixed convictions, but with open minds, undoubtedly gained much of profit from their visitation, through contact with the people and close range inspection of conditions. Thus will they be qualified to deal in- telligently and helpfully with prob lens calling for solution and appraise the worth, or lack of worth, of much transformation which, in the past has mischievously served to confuse and complicate Alaskan issues.
 Alaska Is All Right
 Inherently Alaska is all right. It's paramount need is and ever has been to be known and understood. Popular misconception has been its heaviest handicap. Climatic fallacies are now being eradicated. Truth is at last im- planting itself. The world is belatedly learning that Alaska is blessed with ideal Summers; that it's Winter wealth CT in the interior and toward the Arc tic is no more bleak and forbidding than that of the Northern and North western States and that along its Southern Coasts its climate is mild

The annual report of the Governor of Alaska, Scott c. Bone was given to the press today. It contains much detailed information as to mining, the fisheries, road building and the years operation Of The Alaska Railroad, and is most optimistic througohut He says:
 The year of our Lord, 1923, the 56th in number since Alaska passed from Russia to the United States, will ever be memorable and stand out as the most notable in all the history of this Northern territory.
 It was Alaskas most successful year not in actual development or unpre- cedented production of wealth, or in hum Of industry, or influx of popula- tion, but in making known to the world at large Uncle Sam's last re. maining frontier, and rentering and concentrating popular interest and at leullOu Ill anu upon IL.
 Visit ,, President Harding Noted
 For the first time President of the United States, accompanied by three members of his cabinet, set foot upon Alaskan soil and journeyed along the picturesque coasts and traversed the vast interior to meet fellow Ameri- cans sturdily engaged in working out the destiny of pioneer land and to become acquainted with conditions and problems confronting them
 Congressional Party Here Also
 Preceding the head of the Nation, distinguished delegation of Con- gressmen, Senators and Representa- tives on similar mission bent, made a comprehensive visit to and through knowledge of a domain hitherto vir- tually unknown to them. The Ameri- can press sent staff representatives for observation and the chronicling of facts and opinion, and motion picture producers and photographers contrib uted geographically and helpfully to depicting Alaska, not as an unheaval of ice an snow, as it has existed in fiction and fancy, but the inviting and habitable land it really is.
 Seriously planned and steadfastly devoted to inquiry and study, the far reaching benefits of these visitations are manifest and of incalculable value.
 Indeed, it may well be believed that the year 1923 will mark the turning point of Alaska and that growth slow, perhaps, yet steady and sure will henceforth ensue, with a devel- opment and utilization of the Terri tory's natural resources, practically
