IttiKLlN. Nov., li#— By A. 1\— The
! Spanish embassy in Berlin which is in
' charge of American affairs ponding
^h«* ratification of the peace treaty
has received >0 mam application;
from regular (human army officers
1 who want to serve in the American
army that it has post<*d a big sign on
win* outer door announcing that such
applications will not b»* accepted and
.hat i> useless to apply. The number
j »f applicant.*, since has gradually de
creased but still there are some.
Some of those seeking commissions
in the American army urged that thev
' could bo of value in “teaching tho Am
roans how to fight.”
ri'.'Mv has been a rush also oi Ger
man office s to join other fonner on- i
I emv m neutral armies. The applicants
\vi • ad> to serve in either the Am
ericans, British, Japanese. Argentine
or even the French forces.
Kvory correspondent in Germany,
regardless of his nationality has been f
bombarded with queries and person- !
al applications. In vain <lid they assure
the officers that their armies would
under no circumstances accept Ger
; ir.on officers.
In vain the explanation was made j
hat all the Entente armies were over- j
< burdened with officers and were mak- j
I !ng every effort to demobilize them.
Argentina has become more or less
i tin* t .ecru of the would-be emigrants
fit to Germany because it has adver
tised through its consulate for agricul
»tural 1al»« and has offered induce
ments in the way of free land. How
, ever, those who want most to leave
Germany want least to go to farming.
For those who really want to take up
I agriculture the Argentine invitation is
still attractive.
Others determined to reach the |
, United States by a round about route
see Argentina an an opportunity to ,
realise their ambition by first going
to Argentine and then taking a chance
of going on to the United States.
Those who contemplate this ruse ,
overlook the posibility of trouble both
in Argentine and the first American
port they reach. A young Gem an wo-;
man sat in a Berlin hotel lobby the 1
other night telling her companions in j
a voice loud enough for by-stander<
to heat *hat she intended to get to
America through the Argentine if nec
essary by swearing that she had been
in th^ United States before. She ad
mitted that this was untrue but added
! that “a little white lie could do
harm**.

SOPHIA NOW :
ABANDONED !
'
JUNKAU. (Uy Mail)— The Deep
Sea Salvage Company abandoned op* j
orations at the scene of the I’rinm*:
Sophia wreck for this season.
J. M. Dawson, local representative
of the company , when seen today,
said: “Our company felt that it
would be tri o too many chances
with our many thousands of dollars
worth of equipment to attempt to
raise the Sophia this year. The win
ter is upon us and although we are
practically ready to make the lift
we think it would he foolhardy to
try it. D' we succeeded in getting the
boat to the surface a storm might j
come up and we would lose her and >
maybe for ever.
“We will anchor our four scows
and the tug Harold C. in Itridgo
Cove for the winter with a crew of
several men to watch them. We are

as yet undecided what we will do
with the J. M. Coleman, the other
boat of the fleet but it is likely that
she will he berthed in the channel.

Dawson the president of the com
pany left on the Northwestern, and
the remainder- will go to Seattle on
the Alaska . I, myself will stay hero
all winter to look after company mat
ters.
“Having all our equipment on the
ground and the rigging mostly in
readiness we are sure that early in
the spring we will he able to make
quirk work of the raising of the boat
Two weeks after the crew land here
next spring we should have the Prin
cess Sophia to the surface. We v ill
have the advantage in the spring of
having the good weather coming to
ward us instead of recoding and will
feel that after we have the vessel
raised we can safely handle and
beach her.
“Hu* only cause of the failure to
raise the boat this year was the fact
that we arrived in Alaska just about
two weeks too late with our equipment
i .ere is nothing wrong with the
method we are to use or the men in
charge ,it is all a question of weath
er.”
Mr. Dawson also said that the con
tract held by the salvage company
with R. A. Tripple, receiver appoint
ed by the court, has been renewed to
take care of the extension of time.
