"One cf the boys wrote in yes

Col lee' or, commissioned officers and
: Messrs. Burns, Winston, Williams,

A mo'lon was adored appointing
Mayor Heneghan a committee of

The attempt to Infuse politics in

ouf ceremony tabooed. Tho meet

ization and the enrollment of volun
teers.
This afternoon the local cable of

order, "To all Stations, As a
mlJi'ary precaution, discontinue un
til further orders reports relative to
the movement of all boats.
(Signed) Chief Operator, Sitka
U. S. Signal Corps Station."
This is merely an order which ha
beea sent out som© time ago, and
prtbably has just been put into ef
fvet in Alaska waters. The fact
that the naval department has no
tified masters of Pacific ocean
going ships to be on the lookout
for a German diver, may have some
bearing on the subject, but it is
more probable that this order \vill
b* suspended just as soon as de
tails are worked) out, and it is
learned that there can be little dan
ger in this zone.
