MISSIONARY VESSEL FOR THE YUKON RIVER
 SLIPS DOWN WAYS

When the missionary boat Peli- can was launched last week in Seattle, the Rt. Rev. Peter Trimble Rowe, Protestant Episcopal bishop of Alaska, in Seward last week en- route to the Interior, was master of ceremonies and rode down the ways aboard the new craft, say ing prayer dedicating the Peli- can to missionary work in Alaska.

By Special Correspondent There was a bad forest fire here the latter part of the week, Saturday, May B, sweeping close to the fox farmers and only for the hard work of all the people here on the river, the Hardy and Williamson ranches would have been destroyed. The fire jumped Coal Creek after turning on the road to the Hardy ranch, jumping distance from bank to bank of approximately 800 feet, burning everything for seven miles before it was under control.
 
 Tom DickenSon has been doing maintenance work on the Kasilof road for the last few weeks and expected to leave on the next sailing of the MS Discoverer. The road is now in excellent condition.
 All fur farmers in this area re- port good increases and look for a good year.

Administration Does Not Think
Panacea Can Be Found
For World Crisis

The suggestion emanating
from Europe that the United
States might consider official
representation on an interna-
tional financial-economic con-
ference, if the agenda were
made very broad, found little
favor in Administration circles.
The administration does not
believe the world economic crisis
can be settled by a panacea dis
covered at such a conference. In
fact, it feels that in the opposite
direction lies the road out of the
slough OF depression; that an in
ternational meeting called to dis
cCss a long list of subjects, such
as debts, reparations, tariffs, sill
yer, the gold standard, and kin
dred subjects would defeat itself.
It feels such problems should be
decided singly.
The view of the Administration,
as expressed here, is that the
European Gebtor and creditor ma
tions might achieve beneficial,
concrete results if a conference
were called at The time to dis
cuSS solely reparationS.

garage to drain the water out of
his car, and get the shotgun and
some shells, left in the car after
a hunting trip.
Mandanyohl's wife, Gasch said,

FINLAND VOTES
ON DRY LAW

HELSINGFORS, Finland, Dec.
20 U.N.S0 Finland voted today
to decide the fate Of prohibition,
which it has had for Is years.
The voting climaxes the bit
terest campaigning ever waged
here on the subject.
The outcome was uncertain, \ al
though the vets held that the
weather, bringing blizzards to the
northern sections, would swing
the balloting in their favor. The
storms threatened to keep from
the polls the great numbers of
farmers and workers in the north
who form the backbone of the
dry forces.
The turnout of voters was ex-
pected to be greater in the
south. where the vets muster
most of their strength.
Women's ballots are to be
counted separately, and the in
fluence of their vote will be de-
finitely seen. OF the country's
10000 voters, one million are
women.
Voters were given three ways
to mark their ballots to approve
the present law, ask modification
to permit wines and beer, or vote
o repeal of the present law and
authorize system of federal
regulation.

The body of Lieut.. Harry H.
Gregory, former Spanish-Amer-
ican War veteran, who died in
Paris in 1908, is to reach its final
resting place in Arlington Ma
tional Cemetery today after long
journey, the final stages Of which
were complicated by loss of proper
papers.
Customs officials and health au-
thoritieS of several cities brushed
aside red tape to expedite the
journey.
The body arrived at Baltimore
on the steamer Lorraine, Of the
American-France line, yesterday.
Then complications arose which
threatenel to hold UP its trip to
the National Cemetery.
Capt. j. j. Jefers, commander
of the ship, explained to customs
officials that he was held up in
Hoboken on Christmas eve by
robbers, who deprived him of the

LEADS
FIGHT ON TAX

Taxation without representa-
tion will be one of the major
objections to the Mapes bills for
increased assessments in the Dis
trict when they are brought up
for discussion in the Senate,
according to Senator Lynn j..
Frazier (RO of North Dakota.
Unless the bill introduced in
the Senate for suffrage in the
District is adopted, Frazier de-
clared it would appear unfair to
pass legislation materially increaS-
ing the levies when residents are
unable to voice representative
protest.
The bills submitted by the
Mapes special committee to the
House and passed there by large
majoritieS, provide for an income
tax, increased gasoline tax, estate
tax, and an automobile weight
tax.
The portion Of the population
that favors suffrage is attempting
to recruit the aid Of many OF the
anti-suffrage crowd on the ground
that with a vote they would be
better able to combat the tax
bills in the Senate.
They will not be able to present
a united front, however. as some
of the anti,suffragistS have indi-
Gated they would not favor a
vote for the District under any
circumstances.

} DRY BATTLES
!. NEXT MONTH
|NCONGRESS
Vets ConCede Defeat, But Ex-
pect to Arouse Favor
able Sentiment

One of the greatest prohibi-
ton battles in history will be
waged in Congress during Janu-
ary, with three public hearings
running probably simultane-
ously on repeating the Eight
eenth Amendment, legalizing
beer and authorizing a refer
endum.
The vets concede defeat in all
three battles, but they hope to
produce sufficient public agita'
ton over the prohibition issue to
lead to early victory.
Weaknesses to Be Shown
The hearings will serve to reveal
one weakness of the wets-their
diversity of opinion over the
method of reform-and one weak
ness of the drys-their waning
power in Congress.
The repeal hearings may start
first before a judiciary -subconn'
mittee headed by Senator Blaine
(R.) of Wisconsin. He announced
he would call representatives OF
both wet and dry organizations
to debate the question of abandon
ing Federal prohibition.
The referendum hearings will
hold forth before another judict'
ary subcommittee, led by Senator
Herbert (R.) Of Rhode Island,
while a Senate manufactures sub
committee will conduct the beer
inquiry under direction of Senator
Metcalf (RO Of Rhode Island.
Bingham to Lead Fight
Senator Bingham (R0 Of Con
necticut, author Of a repeal amend
ment, referendum plan and a
beer bill, will be one of the moving
forces behind all the wet attacks
on prohibition. Senator Sheppard
CD of Texas, co-author Of the
Eighteenth Amendment, will be di'
rector of strategy behind the dry
defense.

FLOOD VICTIMS
FACE HUNGER

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 90 Il.
N.S0.-The menace of hunger
and famine blighted the rich
delta country of northwestern
Mississippi today while angry
flood waters surged over a wide
area.
The cotton town of Glendora
was almost completely cut off
from communication with the
outside world by a new onrush
of the deluge, squirting from a
20-foot gap in the main levee
of the Tallahatchee River.
Among the stricken residents
of the town a food shortage arose
in the wake of the flood, which
destroyed highways and levelled
telephone and telegraph poles.
Only a branch railroad remain
ed as Glendora's sole connection
with the outside. world and un-
less sufficient food supplies are
rushed into the town over this
line, a serious situation may de-
velop.
The entire male population of
Glendora was laboring feverishly
to check the rising Tallahatchee,
whose waters were increased by
the downrush of swollen streams
from the north Mississippi hills.
A circle dyke to dam up the
flow from the levee gap was be-
ing built by one emergency crew.
Other crews reinforced the intact
stretches of the levee with thous-
ands of SandbagS.
Women and children, abandon
ing their homes, were rushed to
higher sections.
More than 10000 acres of the
fertile delta soil in the Glendora
vicinity was under water.

series of attacks and counter
attacks. The day-long battle
started when an army Of 1900
Chinese, including many regular
troops, launched an attack upon
Lieut.. Gen. Jiro lannon's army
from their strongholds in the
hills, IL miles south of the city.
Japs in Surprise SOrtie
Tonight General lannon's
forces were bivouacked outside
Panshan, only 20 miles from
Koupangtze. Additional japanese
forces, making surprise sortie
southwark from Mukden along
the Peiping- -Mukden line, reached
Hsinmin, 10 miles north of
Koupangtze.
The next concerted Japanese
troop movement is expected to
put Koupangtze in the hands OF
General lannon's army tomorrow
or the next day. When this city
is taken, the Japanese will be only
18 miles from Taliangho, where
there is an important railway
bridge.
ChinchOw Fall Certain
From the military viewpoint,
Chinchow. a walled town, falls
the moment Japanese troops are
able to cross the Taliangho River.
No difficulty is expected in this
regard.
The waterway is frozen solid,
and the modern military equip
ment of the Japanese will en-
able them to deal with the prob
lem swiftly and effectively.
Hundreds Of automobiles and
trucks have been dispatched to
the Chinchow sector from New
change and Mukden, putting the
Japanese within easy striking dis
tance of the city across the coun-
try except for the mountainous
districts.
Chinese In Flight
The initial attack by Chinese
forces OUTSIDE of Panshan was
the signal for General Tamon to
throw the entire strength of his
infantry, artillery, and aiS force
into the battle.
Within a short time, the Chi.
nese had been driven northward
with the Japanese in hot pursuit
along the railway tracks.
At 1880 a. m. the Chinese
launched another attack. Their
forces this time numbered 5000
being augmented by additional
regulars. After a stiff engage
ment lasting half an hour, the
Chinese again took to flight, AT
1870 p. m. the main body of Gen
eral lannon's army had reached
Wangchiachung, seven and one
half miles south of Panshan.
Armed Train Pursued
The Chinese forces beat a re-
treat aboard an armored train
which was pursued for a consider
able distance by the japanese
while running fire was maintained
Placing more and more reliance
upon the aerial wing, japanese
commanders were kept in con.
stant touch with the movements
of nearly 10c separate rowing
bands of Chinese by a squadron of
scout planes which kept circling
over the area being penetrated.
AS the airplanes worked ahead
of the army. moving as q solid
unit, special effort was being
made to keep the Koupangtze.
