 Portland Man Speaks.
 Jay s. Hamilton of the Portland Chamber of Commerce was guest at the meeting and upon request ad- dressed the body. Mir. Hamilton said that many people wondered why he was in Juneau. "I am here," he said, because the people of Portland have at last awakened to the vast oppor- tunities offered in Alaska for the ex- tension of trade. Two weeks ago they decided to send some member of the body up here and l am pleased that the pleasant duty fell to my lot. Port land has been busy selling town lots and has been neglecting Alaska, but we are in earnest now and intend to try and become better acquainted with you and do business with you"
 Mir. Hamilton spoke of the inaugu- ration of the Portland line of steamers and stated that the Chamber of Com merce had bonded the company and this in itself would insure every effort should be made to develop business relations here that would result in mu- tual benefit for the city of Portland and to the people of Alaska.
 Routine Matters.
 Ed. c. Russell, of the Daily Alaska Dispatch. and John w. Troy, of the Alaska Daily Empire, were appointed and authorized to publish a pamphlet showing the resources of the Territory tributary to Juneau and such other in- formation as is sought about Juneau and vicinity.
 A communication was read from the White House, signed by President Will sons secretary, Mir. Joseph P. Tumulty, thanking the club for it's telegram of appreciation.
 A communication was received from the Valdez city council. stating that that body had cabled its endorsement of the memorial addressed by the Ju- neau Commercial club to President Wilson and Congress, asking for an appropriation of $2OO,OOO for the pur, pose of collecting and maintaining an Alaska exhibit at the Panama Pacific Exposition.
 The committee appointed to arrange for a celebration over the passage of the railroad bin reported progress and was continued in action.
 The question of seeking a better mar ket for Juneau's fresh halibut was dis cussed. Oliver Orange of the Juneau Cold Storage Company was present and stated that the local concern was handicapped by the fish dealers com bine in Seattle, but that there was a prospect of getting better terms. Steps will be taken to interest Portland fish dealers in the Juneau product.

FEELING SWEEPS
ALSACE-LQRRAINf
Excursiorists Returning From Over
French Border With French
Colors Liable to Punishment
Wheat

Berlin, July 2S.-The sharper
wind predicted for Alsace-Loraine
as result of the change in viceroys
has already begun to blow. One of
the first inaiIStions was the recent
order forbidding army recruits from
the ReisChland to be mustered into
regiments of their home provinces.
Another is the following paragraph
from the "Offcial Correspondence"
of StrassburG, the organ of the gov
eminent: Gsgg
at has recently been observed
that especially upon the return of
excursiouists from over the French
border, flags and badges of all varie-
ties of the French colors arc worn
in a conspicuous manner. 1t IS
therefore adisable to direct attention
to the fact that, under Article vi OF
the decree of August II, 1S4S, and
under numerous decisions of the
courts, the publlc exposing OF these
colors constitutes punishable
offense, subjccting one to imprison-
ment and considerable fines"
Repeated incidents in the con-
quered provinces show how wide
spread the anti-German feeling is
among different classes. The most
recent incident is reported from
Saarburg, where the pastor of the
state church refused to have the
church bells rung in honor of a visit
Of the viccroy, Or. Won Dallwitz. The
mayor inte~ycned, calling attention
to an ordinance requiring the bells
to he ruig on such occasions. The
pastor still refused. The mayor
then summoned gendarmes, who de-
manded the key of the belfry and
rang the bells themselves.

putting the population of the empire
at the end of the first half of 1914
at 67,S1,22000. This compares with
66,9S1,000 in the previous year and
shows an increase practically the
same size as was recorded from 1912
to 1913, and exceeding the gain
from 1911 to 1912 by $4,000.
Comparisons with the growth Of
the population in France give strik-
ing figures. In 1872, following the
Franco German war, France had a
population of about 3G,00A,000, only
100000 less than Germany. In
1911 she had less than 100000
and the number has declined since
then Thus her increase in forty
two years has been less than 3,000,-
900, against an increase for Ger
many of 26,00O,00O.
The tremendous increase of Rus
STA saves the Triple Entente from be-
ing overwhelmed by numbers by the
Triple Alliance. Germany alone
has three-fourths as many inhabi-
tants as Great Britain and France
together, and Austria and Italy add
roundly S6,000,000 to this number.
The great population of Russia.
however, brings the total strength
of the Triple Entente to 253.OO0,0OO
against 152,OOO,OOO for the Triple
Alliance.
