HOHENZOLLERNS CELEBRATE
 CHRISTMAS WITH PONIP

Berlin, Dec. 27-Christmas was celebrated with special pomp by the Hohenzollerns, who. with the Grown Prince recently back from exile. en-
 loved the first real Christmas since the war At the Castle of Gels all the brothers and the Crown Prince gathered and took part in special church service in the Castles chapel, which was decorated under the Grown Princes supervision. The Grown Princess. like true haus- own hands, as tradition required the Hohenzollern Princess to bake such a cake. The Monarchistic in- former of the Tribune says this years "honeycake" was great sue cess. IL is a sort of spiced cake, made according to the genuinely century-old Hohenzollern recipe, and everyone who spent Christmas Eve in the house of 'Hohenzollern, must have a piece of this cake The Crown Princess must also prepare plates of apples. nuts, and choco- lates for every guest in the house. The Crown Prince did an enormous amount of Christmas shopping, ac- cording to the dealers of quaint shops in the village of Oels, which were not only for the family but for the servants and the needy families in Gels. The Crown Prince request ed the Mayor of Gels to give him complete list of all the names of the families who were in need. The Crown Prince selected a Christmas Tree and it was decorated with can
 dies only, since tradition prohibits the use of gold and silver trimmings
 All the children of the Crown Prince have been in Gels for the past week assisting to prepare the first Christ mas with their father since the war.

CHANl EIDK MAKX DELIVERS
 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

Berlin. Dec 27-"Give us peace and take away unfair sanctions and expressions. Give us chance to work and live, then Germany will save her finances and pay repara- tions accordingly" The above is a part of the Christmas message of Chancellor Marx. "A Germany in which order reisns is the strongest security for France and much stronger security than military treaties and agreements and anna Wents.' In the beginning of the message the chancellor was very bitter Christmas expresses our longing for peace more than any thing else This is easy to under stand since Germany is a country in the center of Europe, surrounded by envious neighbors who often fight their quarrels on German soil, tear ing up the country"
 What we have gone through in the last year iS HothihS Uut eoh tinuation of war. which has been practiced upon a de:enseless and dis armed nation. such as ours. in the middle of official. but unexisting peace Contrary to the provisions of the Versailles Treaty. German soil is occupied by foreigners. and loyal Germans must spend Christmas in foreign jails because they refused to go against their own country"

FUR REGULATIONS FOR THIRD DISTRICT OF ALASKA FOR
 1823-1024.

Marten, Land Otter, Mink. and Wcasel, Nov. 18th to March a1st.
 Muskrat, May 1st to June 10th.
 Lynx. Fox, Dec. 1st to March 3lst
 Beaver, Sea Otter. Closed Season. BeaH (black, glacier. cinnamon>, wolf. wolverine. squirrel, marmot. (whistler) Snowshoe and Arctic Hare, are unprotected.
 Three changes are noteworthy in the above:
 F1RST-The fox season has been advanced to December 1st and ex- tended to March 3lst. This Is to- prevent the great influx of unprime skins into the hands of the traders, during the early days of the open season. We estimate that the mon ey value of the fox catch can be increased more than 109s by siv- ing the animals 15 days more to mature before trapping.
 The advisabilfty of prescribins different open seasons for white fox and red fox was discussed. but the habits and ranges of the two species are too closely associated to allow of this.
 SECOND-The change in the muskrat season is radical and, we. believe. efiicacious.
 The long midwinter season is not wanted either by trappers or trad CTS. It leads to destruction of houses and runaways that would certainly e1terminate the rat if long continued. The forty days open season at the breakup gives the hunter a chance to select and shoot the finest rats at time when their pelage has reached it's highest point of excellence.
 THIRD-The season is closed or Beaver. The trapper forced this issue upon himself by a wholesale destruction of beaver houses during the two years open season granted.
