HAKNH REPRISAL BY
GERMANY IS PLANNED
BERLIN, Nov. 25.—Measures of
reprisal upon Russian prisoners have
been ordered by the German govern
ment pending the Russian govern
ment’s acceptance of German de
mands for improved treatment of
German prisoners of war in Russia,
according to the semi-official North
German Gazette.
This newspaper says the German
government asked of the Russian gov
ernment that it end conditions which
were causing suffering to German
prisoners of war and that the period
given by the German government for
compliance having elapsed without a
satisfactory answer from Russia, the
German government has ordered re
prisals. To this end, it is said, a
number of commanding officers be
longing to crack Russian regiments
have been transferred to a special
camp where the discipline is espe
cially severe and where they will re
main until the Russian government
complies with the German request.
Germany’s protest has arisen from
the knowledge that Russia is sending
large detachments of German prison
ers to Siberia to work in the mines,
and thousands have died off from the
unusual cold and hardships of that
country.
Men coming in from over the pe
ninsula, mushers, mining men and
others, who have been in the wilds,
are unanimous in agreeing that there
are no ptarmigan this year. The
sight of one is a rarity in Nome. Once
in a while one is brought in to town
by a native who likes to pick up the
elusive dollar by the sale of game,
says the North Nugget.

ALASKAN TO RAISE BLACK
FOXES IN WASHINGTON
SEATTLE, Not. 26.—Tbe silver
black (ox, which wu to rare until
recently that it was thought to be a
"freak of nature,” thrives in the cli
mate of Washington, and when raised
for market brings in a tidy income,
says the P.-I. A. W. Tibbets, who
brought fourteen of them to the state
last February, said Monday at the
Arlington that he expected soon t >
transport more of the animals from
his Alaska farm to stock a ranch in
the Cascades.
At Dry Creek in the Copper River
Valley, Alaska, Mr. Tibbets has more
than forty foxes being raised for
breeding and their skins. At the
temporary farm which he establish
ed last spring on Lake Washington
the young tenants are growing ft',
on a diet of boiled rice, milk and meat
scraps—about a pound a day per fox.
Up in Alaska they are fed one day
on wild rabbits and the next on dried
salmon, dried without salt.
"The silver black fox is nearly ex
tinct,” said Mr. Tibbets, Monday. "Iu
eleven years in tbe Copper river val
ley I saw only two. It was found
that, contrary to popular opinion,
they would propagate in captivity,
and fox-raising has become a thriv
ing industry. On Prince Edward Is
land, Eastern Canada, none of the
‘farmed’ foxes have been killed since
1910, because the market is so good
!for breeding animals. Ours is the
only farm on the Pacific south of
Alaska.”

GREAT DISTRESS IN RUSSIA
Difficulty of Getting Goods from
Britain lias Caused Suffering.
—
i WASHINGTON. D. C., Nov. 25.—
.Official advices to the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce report
serious scarcity of the common neces
sities of life over a large area of Rus
jsia, due to the difficulty of trade with
[Great Britain, from which country
j Russia has always bought largely.
I What little manufacturing there iB
'in the interior cities has been slack
ened by war conditions, and no now
[machinery can be had owing to the
interruption of transportation.
Capitalists are doing a large busi
ness in second-hand machinery and
many manufacturers are making
more by selling than by running their
shops. There is also a shortage of
hats, shoes, gloves, linen and wool
|en goods, clothing, china, glassware,
[stationery and groceries. Some trade
was attempted with England in sev
eral of these clases of goods, but
[ without results. Orders have since
[been placed in the United States and
Japan, whence goods are beginning
[to arrive.
j Distress in the Netherlands from a
[shortage of crops is indicated by the
: latest dispatches from Consul Listoe
at Rotterdam.
