MONROE DOCTRINE
IS ALL RIGHT
Says Chancellor Haldane in a Speech
to American Society in London
at Thanksgiving Dinner.
LONDON, Nov. 28—Chancellor Hal
dane, in a public address last night,
before the American society of Lon
don, strongly endorsed the Monroe
doctrine and praised the stand of the
American government in upholding it
against the world.
The chancellor stated that he hoped
the British government would sup
port the United States in the present
Mexican trouble and .aid the president
to work out a solution of the prob
lem, assuring foreigners protection
and to the better class of law abiding
Mexican citizens a staple government
free from graft and blood.
The Americans present at the din
ner cheered the speech for thirty
minutes and many shook hands with
the eminent English jurist.
CRUSHING DEFEAT
FOR FEDF.RAL8
Many Killed in Fighting About Juar
ez—Gen. Villa Wins Great Victory
—Kills Captured Officers.
EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 28.—The de
feat of the federal forces here last
Tuesday was crushing and hundreds
of Huerta followers were killed on
the battlefield and a few fell, into the
hands of the rebel leader. General
Villa has convened the drum head
court martial and a number of fed
eral officers have been ordered shot.
Villa himself gives the order to the
firing squad to shoot, as he fears that
some, whom he has been hunting for
months, may escape his vengeance.
The last stages of the battle was
a veritable slaughter and the order
to cease firing was not given until
long after the white flag had been
raised by the defeated federals. Very
few prisoners were taken.

The peanut roaster in King’s store i
caught fire from the overflow of gaso-!
line at noon today and to prevent the
building catching fire it was pushed
into the street, where it set fire to the
sidewalk. The gasoline fire in the
roasting machine was put out by cov
ering it with snow and a few fire
extinguishers soon put out the fire
under the sidewalk. A fire alarm
was turned in and Fireman Graham
soon had steam up in the big engine,
but it was not needed.
Fireman Graham will recharge all
fire e'xtingulshers free of charge. No
charge should be kept in the tank
longer than a year. The fire extin
guisher may save your own or your
neighbors property. Have it recharg
ed.

Foreman Lars Holland, of the Alas
ka road commission, will leave Val
dez on Dec. 2nd with a crew of men
to build the government bridge across
the Nizina river. The bridge was
planned for consti action last spring,
but the tleup on the Cordova rail
road prevented the delivery of the
timbers and iron necessary until so
late in the season that the engineers
of the commission were forced to de
cide between building the Gulkana
bridge and the Nizina, and they chose
the former because of the greater
travel from the coast to Fairbanks.
