He declared that the maintenance of an adequate military establishment was es- sential to an effective naval de- fense. Vieount Morley, described the present situation as the most tangled toil that ever confronted European dplomacy in this generation.

MANY NATIVES Fairbanks, Alaska, Telegrams to federal officials here from the Nulato trading post, a native village on the Lower YukonsRiver, 600 miles from here say a mysterious epidemic has the place in its grip.

Washington, May 5.—The r‘¢hi of print paper made from the wood of the crown lands of Brit- ish Columbia to enter the ®nited States free of duty under the only operative clause of the Canadian reciprocity agreement is being investigated by the state and treasury departments. British Columbia is the only province from which crown land paper comes. Western wood and paper manufacturers have protested to the government that the contract regulations between British Co- lumbia and the Powell River Paper Company, which sends the crown lands paper in free, are such as to impose a_ restraint upon the exportation of lumber and wood pulp. Sueh restriction would prevent the free entry of lumber, wood pulp and paper from the lands affected. The Spanish River Paper Company of Ontario has appealed to Secretary McAdoo to reverse the decision of former Secretary McVeagh denying them free en- try for their paper on the ground that their contractual relations with Ontario are not questioned.

The approaching visit of King Alfonso is regarded as of con- siderable signifleance for Europe. It is said it may mean the en- trance of Spain into the friendly understanding kown as the triple entente between France, Great Britain and Russia. Alfonso is to arrive on Wednesday. After a stay of two days, crowded with innumerable entertainments, the King will leave on Friday after witnessing a review of military airmen and aeroplanes just be- fore his departure, The Daily News has the larg. est circulation in Northern B.C, DIPHTHERIA 1S KILLING OFF OF LOWER YUKON EPIDEMIC HAS THE NATIVE VILLAGE OF NULATO IN ITS GRIP AND SEVERAL DEATHS HAVE BEEN REPORTED. hand to treat two cases, and that the situation is desperate.

Bruno Nantel, minister of inland revenue; Hon. Frank Cochrane, minister of railways, and Hon.
