 FED ERAL EMPLOYEES
 CONVENTION AT DENVER

M. s. Whittier was chosen as dele. gate from Juneau to the Federal Elm. ployees' Association convention to be held at Denver. next month, at a meeting of the local federal em ployees held Saturday evening last at Elks' Hall MT. Whittier plans to leave Juneau about August 2S.
 Beside representing the local or ganization of federal employees MT. Whittier will speak before the con vention for the adoption of a reso- lution for dfferential in favor of the Alaska federal employees. The chief reasons in favor of the adoption of this measure, as given by the off cers of the local organization, is on account of the general condition of living in Alaska being more expen- sive than in the states, which in cludes the higher cost of living in Alaska. the increased cost of edu- eating children in academic work higher than that of high school and the higher cost of transportation for travel. especially in its effect on an nual vacation trips.

GERMAN MINISTRY OUT.

BERLIN, Aug. 13.-Reslgnatlon of Chancellor Cuno and his entire Cabinet have been accepted by Presi- dent Ebert.
 Dr. Gustav Stressmann. leader of the German Peoples Party, has been commissioned by Ebert to form a new government.
 After accepting the task, pr. Stressmann had a conference with the various parties.
 The greatest difficulty seems to be in connection with the Foreign Ministry and it is believed possible Stressmann may take that post him. self temporarily.
 It is believed in political quarters the new Cabinet will be of strictly personal character including repre- sentatives of the United Socialists, Clerical, Peoples and Democratic parties.

 q find that Juneau is most live ly" said Tonner when he made a call at the Empire office this morn ing" Everybody seems prosperous and everybody is working. In Prince Rupert, where l am located, there have been stories circulated that Juneau was slipping. I fail to see any slip except that she is slipping in all directions spreading out with increasing population. I also find that many of my former friends are raising large families and was es- pecially pleased to meet on the steamer J. F. Mullen, wife and chil- dren."
 Tonner formerly had operated "The Fishermen's Mug Up' at Prince Ru- pert, but now controls the MacDon- aid cannery, which puts up the famous Pearl Brand of crabs and shrimps.

ranks for his human qualities and his constant solicitude for his men, says:
 "It must be realized that it is only human to expect that our de- parture will be heralded with cer- tain amount of satisfaction by the Turks. I look to all ranks to con duct themselves during this period with dignity and restraint, and to do all in their power to avoid incidents, so that the evacuation may be car ried out in accordance with the high standard which exists throughout the force, so that they may leave behind them memory and respect for British forces which will be long lived in Turkey and in the history of the British army.
 All have a difficult task to per form. The patience and restraint which have been exercised by the troops are beyond all praise and worthy of the best traditions. The closing weeks may be difficult ones, and for this reason I ask all ranks to help me in completing the task with the dignity and high sense of duty which has so characterized the forces I have been so proud to have under my command
 The evacuation will be completed six weeks after the ratification of the peace treaty. General Harrington has asked his government for in structions regarding the status of the army of occupation during the period subsequent to the ratification until evacuation. He suggests the provision that no Turkish forces shall be allowed to come to Constantinople. and that no triumphal entry shall take place until the last of the troops have gone, in order to avoid the danger of incidents during the delicate period.

CRITICAL FOOD SITUATION.

BERLIN, Aug. 13.-The critical food situation at present is super induced by the shortage of supplies and the prices being beyond the reach of the workers who are being paid in worthless paper marks. This together with the internal economy and financial situation which is re- garded as highly favorable effective propaganda, is being spread by the Rolshevik. This is believed to be the immediate cause of the impend- ing retirement of the Cuno min istry. The leaders regard the sit uation as highly serious.
