u. S. PROTESTS OPENING MAILS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—The government today dis
» patched a protest to the British government against open
ing and censoring mails going from the United States to
neutral countries. Senator Hitchcock has a resolution
calling upon the postmaster general for information re
garding interference with American mails by the British
censors and it is expected that the subject will result in
very warm debates. In the lower house today Represent
ative Gardner made a strong speech in opposition to plac
ing an emoargo on war munitions. He reminded the |
house that real neutrality would be violated in favor of
Germany if the allied nations were refused the supplies
which they were able to secure by the ability to keep the
seas opened.
THINKS lT. S. WILL FIGHT
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—Administration leaders ex
press the belief that war is sure to come between the
United Suites and the Teutonic powers regardless of the
outcome of the Persia case if the taking of American
lives is continued by the Teutonic submarines. Many
cabinet members believe the time has come tor making
certain that no more attacks on merchant ships carrying
Americans will be tolerated. \\ hen Bernstortl this after
noon advised Lansing that Germany will pay indemnities
for the American lives lost on the Lusitania he informed
the secretary of state that Germany did so without ad
mitting that the act of sinking the liner was wrongdoing.

WHAT LANE SAID ABOUT
THE ANCHOKAGE ICE
Seattle Time* Washington Corres
pondent Asks Him a
Straight Question.
Secretary I^ane of the Interior was
recently asked by the Washington
correspondent of the Seatle Times for
an expression of opinion about the ice
conditions at Anchorage. This is
part of the interview appearing in the
Times:
“How about the situation at An
chorage?” the secretary was asked.
“The trouble there was that there
were no steam tugs available,” an
swered tho secretary.
“As soon as I saw the report that
ships could not get up to town I tele
graphed for information and was told
that gasoline launches or tugs could
not get in because of strong currents.
The result was that one ship turned
back. That’s all there is to that.”
HORSEFLY CREEK
1DITAROI) DISTRICT
f _____
RUBY—Fra_pk Salon, who arrived
at Ruby late last week, has the dis
tinction of being the discoverer of the
prospect that caused a stampede of
some proportions to Horsefly creek,
lditarod. Fred I»aBelle, arriving at
Ruby the same time as Mr. Salen,
was at the creek before coming here.
These men say the prospect found on
Horsefly was very light and gravel
seemed to be scant. From their an
swers to questions about the find it is
gathered that it did not excite them
any.
Horsefly is the creek to which the
mysterious stampede started from
lditarod October 28, mention of which
was made in The Record-Citizen
November 20. From the lditarod
Pioneer it is learned that several out
fits went into the locality later.
The creek is tributary to lditarod
river, the mouth being about half way
between lditarod and Dikeman—
