England and France ready to go War with Germans
Summary Mining Activities In Kougarok Section
Germany Renews
Negotiations
Czechs
UNDATED, Sept. 8^ — Adolph
Hitler, supreme ruler of Germ
any, ordered Sudeten German
leaders to renew negotiations
with the Cz:ich government, af
ter the break of autonomy talks
given Europe, in the sharpest
war scare of weeks, which brot
tension to the breaking point.
Hitler, self-styled protector of
the Sudeten Germans, ordered
negotiations suspended yester
day.
He changed his mind, it is
said, because of his desire to
convince the world that he will
.-leave nothing undone to find a
* peaceful solution to the crisis.
Bvidence however that Ger
man patience was at an end, be
tween the Czech and British ef
forts to end the quarrel, was ap
parent, with great alarm, which
became more intensified at Lon
don, when the Paris and Brit
ish “inner cabinets” really came
to terms.
Premier Chamberlain, Sir John
S;m. Chancellor of the Ex-Cheq
uer Viscount Halifax, who is the
foreign secretary, assembled at
London today, while British lab
or parties demanded that Par
liament be summoned as soon as
possible.
Women at Lorraine prayed for
the three hundred and fifty thou
sand French soldiers who man
ned the Maginot line sunken fort
ress. facing Germany’s frontier.
The Fair Force has been re
inforced and the high command
shifted to experts in the Ger
man frontier zone.
Were Broke Off
PRAHA, Czeehoslavakia, Sept.
8. ;/P>—The Sudeten German par
ty today broke off negotiations
with the Czech's government dis
pubed autonomy question after
receiving reports that three Su
deten deputies had been assault
ed by the Czech police.
A party of officials are study
ing the text of the latest govern
ment concessions, handed them
earlier today.
Th y soon heard of the clash at
Marisch Ostrau, near the Polish
border.
Fir; reports said the deputies
had been attacked by the police
while investigating the treat
men of Sudetens in the town’s
jail.
Considers W arning
LON’DON, Sept. 9th, (fP)—Evi
dent- . mounting in support for
the unmistakable British warn
ing to Germany “before its too
late”, was weighed heavily in
favor of such course in Minister
ial meetings devoted to the Cze
cho-German crisis.
Persons from all walks of life
have been shaken out of their
indifference over the European
crisis, and recalled the indecision
and delays of the British govern
ment in 1914, and urged a strong
declaration at once.
These developments occurred
as the French government re
ported that it was pressing that
the British follow the French
example of wartime prepared
ness. One informant gave as a
reason that Britain failed by
diplomacy to convince Germany
that she was ready to fight if
Czechoslovakia was invaded.
Mobilized Dock
Workers
PARIS, Sept. 8, f/P)—The gov
ernment announced tonight the
unobFzation of all dock--workers
at the port of Marseilles, a vital
link in the French system of de
fense.
This step in placing an esti
mated five thuosand longshore
men under military discipline and
control. Hollowed a cabinet de
cree. putting the port under mil
itary jurisdiction.

The following story on min
ing developments in the celebrat
eel Kougarok section was obtain
e i by the Nome Nugget's versa
tile reporter. Mary Hood Chap
man, Nome High School grad
uate of last spring, who made a
short trip through that region
recently.
Mary Hood was unable to cov
er every point of operations on
her trip, but we think she has
submitted a fine, outstanding,
account of what has taken place
in that section during the last
year.
The valuable publicity to the
Kougarok and its operators de
pends largely on the facts being
ascer'aired. The Nugget could
carry many mining stories which
would be of help in developing
the country, if its reporters could
b transported into the sections
which at presept are somewhat
removed from Nome.
The entire Kougarok section is
booming this season, with no less
than two dozen mining c.amps
operating between Dick Creek
north of the Kougarok river, and
Bunker Hill, the end of t-he Koug
arok tramway. During die early
part of the season, the section
suffered from Lack of water, but
with the heavy August rains,
every outfit has be-:n working ov
ertime.

Kougarok section is that of Geo.

N UR MB ERG, Germany. Sept
9, t.Ri High Nazis, in a defiiarut
mood, predicted that Hitler
would demand and get a Plebis
cite in CzechosJovkia by advanc
ing his scheme, at wihat he deem
ed the opportune moment.
They also argued that Hitler
will give the British a chance to
save their face upon the failure
of unofficial British meditiation
efforts.
Because of the fact that the
holding of a Plebescite, is a dem
ocratic effort, Hitler has firmly
rejected all Czechoslovakia ef
forts efforts to compromise the
Sudeten-German minority dis
pute over sdlif government.
