The taMjHHHM^the Valdez Civic
League whb'Bfllfactive last summer
in making VatSez the cleanest town
on the coast of Alaska are objecting
strenuously to the custom of certain
citizens dumping their ashes and
other debris In the streets, to become
unsightly heaps near spring when the
snow melts.
The dumping of ashes in the streets
lie prohibited by city ordinance and if
the practice is persisted in it is very
probable that the offenders will re
ceive a visit from the city marshal.

The officials of the Juneau Land
office say that he owners of the lots
have no recourse under the law aR
the Interior department has ordered
that the sale of lots must be cancell
ed and the money forfeited if the
purchasers do not show good cause.
All of the following list have been

ance of the provisions of the regu
lations will be entertained. With re
spect to violations by lessees or oth
ers, which have heretofore occured,
proceedings looking to forfeiture will
be brought only In case wherein it
can be shown that the lot purchaser
was aware of the act of the lessee,
as to which you will govern your ac
tion by the regulations heretofore to
be provided. It shall be understood,
however that under the townsite reg
ulations ignorance by the purchaser
of the acts of the lessee or others on
lots purchased by him is no defense,
and forfeiture may be declared not
withstanding in caso hereafter aris
ing.”

GERMAN PRISONERS ARE
RELEASED RY JAPAN
TOKIO: At the request of the
French government, Japan has re
leased nine German prisoners of war
who h^d served in the German garri
son during the defense of Tsing-tao.
These prisoners were born in the
province of Alsace-Lorraine and al
though forced to serve at Tsing-tao
they were of pronounced English
sympathy and since the reduction of
the .Tsing-tao fortress they have ex
pressed their desire to fight with the
French army in Europe. They are
represented as being especially filled
with fervor to see Alsace-Lorraine
brought back permanently to France.
Informed of the desire of these
prisoners the French government
took up the question with Japan and
yesterday the men were set free and
later embarked on a French steamer
at Kobe. Since the capture of Tsing
tao they have been detained at the
prisoner’s camps at Kurume and
Osaka.
