ing was fierce but the German
being short of provisions and

miles of Paris, and now they
have been driven hack over a
hundred miles.

er part of the Austrian army

Germans Make a Stand
London, Sept. 15—The Ger

prssion that Ihe withdrawal of
the German army is for the
■purpose of reorganizing Tor an
oilier campaign. It is also believ
ed that the Germans will now
fight on the defensive .only.
London, Sept. 15—The main
part of the retreating German
army still continues to remain

Delegate Wickersham who is
touring Alaska on a campaign
for reelection as Alaska’s dele
gate to congress was given a
cousing reception at the Red
Mens Hall last evening where
he gave a lalk lasting about t*vn
hours,
'Hie introductory speech was
made by D. Smith Harris.
Judge Wickersham had forti
fied himself in commenting up
m the positions assumed by
his. opponents by having letters
and other documents showing
where they are >of one political
party now, whereas only a
couple of years ago they were
lined up with the opposite
factions. Letters, luw books,
congressional records and pres,
ideiitial messages figured rath
er conspicuously in bearing out
his point why lhe people of Al
aska should give him their sup
port in the coming election in
November. The Republican--.
Democrats, Socialists, Bull
fdooseps, and Non-Partisans;
ail came in for a polite wrap,
yet he said he was anything
but “a lady like man in Wash
ington.” He dwelt at consider
able length op the Home Hub
for Alaska and spoke of it from
every angle, even to the extern!
of quoting President Wilson’?
message to Congress on Alas
kan affair?,
As to the fish question, In
slated that there should be new
legislation enacted whereby tin
preservation of the fish would IT
assured for the Alaskan people
and not for the interest of a
foreign country. lie has under
consideration a bill to be pre
sented to Congress covering the
shipment of fish from the
country identical with the law
governing of foreign ships
fishing in British waters, II
was pointed out that, sciow loads
of fish could be shipped out
free of any tariff and in a ra'w
state while the law of Brili-h
Columbia will not perrnti tlie
shipment of fish until they have
been frozen, canned or put up
in so mo preserved state. Men
tion was made of his many
trials and tribulations 'exper
ienced while presenting tlie
Alaska Railroad Bill to Congress
and tlie many difficulties lie
had to overcome. There t>vas
a strong opposition represented
there in Washington in the
nature of a large body of lob
bists, who forever han* -'0(]Ik;
the Senators’ and representa
lives’ dO'Or.s awaiting nn op
portunity to seek the influence
of tlie law makers in defeating
any particular hill of impor
tance, and this was especially
true of the Alaskan bill. Time
and time again he was applaud
ed 'when mention was made of
his past work for Alaska and
Alaskans. A list of the num
erous bills he had submitted to
Congress relative to Alaska was
read, and this was met with
hearty applause.
