FRENCH BOYS TO FIGHT
PARIS, Nov. 30— By a vote in the chamber of depu
ties today it was decided to call out the 1917 class to the
colors. This means that two hundred and twenty-live
thousand boys of the age of eighteen must join the colors
immediately and undergo training to take their place at
the front as soldiers. The socialist members of the cham
ber strove hard to prevent the call out of the boys and
many passionate speeches were made but the socialists
tried in vain to prevent the decision. After a bitter war
of words the government leaders, including the war mini
ster, made a promise not to send the boys to the trenches
unless it became imperatively necessary. The government
made no secret of the fact that the losses in the French
ranks made the calling out of the 1917 class a necessity if
France is to be saved from the invader. “Every person
in the republic must sacrifice his life if necessary" Gal
lieni is reported to have cried when he heard of the op
position to calling school boys to the deadly front
REPORT ALLIES RETREATING
SOFIA. Bulgaria, Nov. 30.—A general retreat by the
allied forces in southern Serbia has been commenced and
the Bulgarian army is following up the advantage in
force, according to the official announcement issued by the
war office this morning. The British and French are re
treating to the southward while the Serbians are retreat
ing to the west. It is also announced that our forces have:
inaugurated a drive in the Monastir region but it is admit
ted that a stubborn resistance is expected owing to the
nature of the ground. The people of Bulgaria are now
awaiting eagerly to see whether the Greek army will at
tempt to disarm the French and British should they con
tinue their retreat through Greek territory. The Greek
government has declared that the allies would be intern
ed under such circumstances but that such an act would
compel Greece to enter the war on our side is regarded
as certain. Conservative papers here and officials warn
the people not to be too sure that the French and British
are not falling back to meet reinforcements.
MONTENEGRO NEXT '
VIENNA, Nov. 30.—Austria has now launched a ter
rific offensive against Montenegro and the Austrian
troops are pouring over the border for the annihilation of
one more enemy of the central powers. Terrible weather
conditions prevail but the home war office announces that
neither weather nor any other circumstance will be per
mitted to hinder a continuous drive until Montenegro is
humbled like Serbia. Owing to the mountainous nature
of some of the Montenegro country a quick decision is not
looked for but we have prepared enough to crush the main
Montenegrin army and drive it into the hills where it
cannot hope to live long without surrender. The drive
has been decided upon for some time but the Italian of
fensive against Gorizia looked so threatening for a time
that the Montenegro campaign was delayed. By attack
ing Montenegro territory the retreat of the Serbian rem
nants may be endangered.
Eighteen Million
D
at Panama Fair
Nineteen Million Expected Before
Great Exposition Closes.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. SO. — The,
figures of the attendance at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition have been
amended and show that eighteen mil
lions have passed in through the gates
since the great fair opened. An ad
ditional million visitors are expected
before the close and this will make a
record for all fairs for all time, it is
said. The closing few days now com
ing are expected to have a greater
attendance than any of the others
and as one day’s attendance showed
more than three hundred thousand it
is believed certain that the nineteen
million mark will be reached.
SEATTLE PATROLMAN
UNDER SERIOUS CHARGE
Margett Indicted on Four Counts.
Took Jewelry and Auto
From a Negro.
, SEATTLE, Nov. 30. — Patrolman
Margett, who was eccused of grafting
and stealing from a prisoner, has been
indicted on four counts, ch*ef
a/norgst which is fhat of grand lar
! cenv. He has been released o i bonds
for jeven thousand five hundrei dol
lars. Margett first got into trouble
when a negro whom he had arrested
accused him of stealing his auto and
his jewelry while the negro was kept
in jail. Margett denied the accusa
tion strenuously but the negro was
able to produce proof and the turn o!
the patrolman himself came to be a
jail bird. Margett is well known for
a long time on the police force.
Krause Goes Back
North for Trial
Man Suspected of Several Murders
Sent to Juneau.
SEATTLE, Nov. 30. — Edward
Krause was taken north last night
on the steamer Humboldt to await the
action of the grand jury on the charge
of murdering William Christie, Ole
Moe and Captain Plunkett. He is
under arrest on the charge of imper
sonating an officer and is being taken
back on that charge. The fact that
none of the alleged victims of Krause
has yet been discovered will probably
cause some difficulty to the grand
jury. All efforts to locate Christie
or to find his body have failed, ac
cording to advices from Juneau, and
the general belief is that his remains
are now resting at the bottom of
(iastineau channel and will never be
found unless Krause can be prevailed
upon to make a confession, if he is
guilty of murder, and direct the
authorities to where Christie met his
oe ‘b. Rewards for the discovery of
Christie dead or alive have now been
posted by the authorities.
IMMIGRATION
FALLING FAST
EUROPEAN WAR CAUSES TRE
MENDOUS DECREASE NN
NEWCOMERS.
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 30.—Com
missioner General of Immigration
Caminetti has announced a tremend
ous falling off in immigration owing
to the war in Europe and he ex
presses the belief that for several
years after the war immigration will
fall almost to nothing. In his official
statement just issued it is seen that
for the present year of the war the
immigration to this country will* be
only about a third of what it, was for
a similar period before the war. In
the year previous to the war, Cami
netti announces, the immigration was
a million. During the first yea) of
the war immigration fell to six hun
dred and fifty thousand. Immigration
during the second year of the war, at
the present ratio, will be less than
three hundred thousand.
REFUSES R. R. REQUEST
TO OPERATE STEAMSHIPS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—The In
terstate Commerce Commission has
refused six railroad companies per
mission to operate steamship lines
without operating under the canal
act. The applications by the com
panies were made as a result of the
closing up of the canal as they be
lieved the fact that the canal is out
of commission renders the law un
necessary.
ANCHORAGE WEATHER

named Schofield who arrived from
that city in Seward last evening. He

of three days, by foot and by rail
road train. Mr. Schofield also says
that the cold at Anchorage has made
impossible the installation of a water

FINDS RICH PAY
IN PRIMROSE
—
jCHARLES HUBBARD WILL SHIP
OUT THIRTY TONS OF
ORE MONTHLY.
—
That he has discovered rich ore in
the Primrose mine and that he will
ship out about thirty tons of ore a
month from the mine is the statement
nade today by Charles G. Hubbard
who took an option on the mine some
time ago. Mr. Hubbard, who came in
last night, says he has found sixteen
inches of ore on the foot wall ami
fourteen inches on the hanging wall,
and that the ore will run two hun
dred dollars to the ton. He will be
gin shipping almost immediately to
the Tacoma smelter. He has reached
140 feet under the outcrop and about
two weeks ago he made this later
find and the appearances indicate a
pood body of ore and a permanent
mine. The filling between the two
veins is pay ore but not valuable
enough for shipping. It runs about
$25 to the ton. Even this ore, Mr.
Hubbard says, with proper equipment
would be fine paying ore. Mr. Hut>
bard says that the latter strike will
warrant him in exercising his option
on the property.

Gunboat Smith Got
Jim Coffey Easily
Another Man Eliminated as a Pos
sible Antagonist of Willard.
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—Jim Cof
feys star probably went down and
out for ever last night when Gun
boat Smith knocked him to sleep in
the fourth round. The big ltoscom
mon man made the same mistake as
in the tight with Frank Moran—that
is, he was looking for points and let
Smith land on his most vulnerable
spot—the jaw. The showing made
by Gunboat brought back many of his
friends as his defeat by Weinert some
months ago had created the belief
that he had passed away as a serious
consideration. In spite of the victory
by Gunboat, however, he is not re
garded seriously as a probable chal
lenger of Willard.

PUBLICANS.
, NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—The Na
tional Committee of the Progressive
party announces formally and official
ly today that the party will not
amalgamate with the Republicans and
that it will remain independent of all
other parties. The members of the
committee expect that Roosevelt and
Johnson will again head the ticket
and that they will be candidates for
the presidency and vice-presidency
again next year, no matter how poor
the chances might be. The announce
ment of the decision to remain inde
pendent was made as a result of a
statement that the Moosers would
probably join the Republicans im
mediately after the beginning of the
session of congress next week.
RAILROADS PLACE AN
EMBARGO ON SOME FREIGHT
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—The very
remarkable fact became known here
today that the Pennsylvania railroad
has placed an embargo on flour, lum
ber and most export goods in order
that it might be able to expedite the
movement of other kinds of freight.
The question has already been asked
if a railroad may follow such a
method but there seems to be nothing
to stop it, unless the Interstate Com
merce laws J ave provided for it.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 30.—The Balti
more and Ohio R. R. has placed art
embargo on iron and steel export ship
ments through New York to relieve
the congestion in the lighterage situa
tion.
REPUBLICAN POSTMASTERS
ALL TO GO SAYS PAPER
The Juneau Dispatch is responsible
for the statement that all Republican
postmasters in Alaska must go. The
same paper ^ays that a postal in
spector has recently been sent to ex
amine all offices presided over by
members of the Republican party
and it seems to insinuate that hif
visit will be followed by alleged
reasons why vacancies should be de
clared for the benefit of Democrats.
Don’t forget tho Gateway is estab
lished at Seward, Alaska.

(ELLS TODAY TERMS
GERMANY Witt ASK
Reichstag Meets to Discuss the
Question of Food
Supply.
GERMANY TO SPEAK
BERLIN, Nov. 30.—It is thought possible that in the
; Reichstag today Chancellor Bethniann Hollwrg will de
clare in behalf of the German empire what Germany is
lighting for and what terms of peace she would accept.
It is known that the Reichstag will discuss today the
question of the food supply and that the discussion will
be public but the greater interest is manifested in tin
fact that questions will be put to the chancellor asking for
a statement of the government’s aims in the war ar.d the
grounds on which it would consent to peace. In anticipa
tion of the fact some of the leading newspapers declare
that no peace can be possible whose terms do not include
the absolute freedom of the seas and the return of the
colonies wrested from Germany since the war. It is al
so stated that Russian influence in the Balkans, Turkey
and Persia must give way to Teutonic influences and tin
advocates of this idea point out that with the road open
to Constantinople Turkey can place new armies in tin
field.
AUSTRIAN CABINET TROUBLE
LONDON, Nov. 30.—Several Berlin papers publish
ed yesterday unofficial intelligence to the effect that sev
eral members of the Austrian cabinet are about to resign
because of differences of opinion connected with the con
duct of the war against the Russians and also in the Bal
kans. There is nothing to indicate the real seriousness of
the differences.
MANY SHIPS WERE SUNK
BERLIN, Nov. 30—An official announcement was
made today that since the German submarines were dis
patched to the Mediterranean eighteen allied ships have
been sunk by them and that the total tonnage of the eigh
teen ships amounted to one hundred and twelve thousand.
One of the Italian ships sunk near the African coast had
recently been built at a cost of a million dollars. It is al
so reported that other German submarines are constantly
being sent to that sea and this alone is the cause of the
slackening of submarine attacks in the northern waters.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30. —"he
son of the president of the C \ nese

Tne real reason fo» the detention is
that he is declared to be afflicted with
hookworm. The holding of the man
has caused a tremenodus flutter in
Chinese circles and feeling is rather
bitter. He will probably be refused
admission and be compelled to go
back to China.
