FAMOUS TE2ElA.1ES: nd of
 the Civil


In Che parlor of D square bricl, building ln the Virginia college of Ap. pomatox Court Blouse. on the loggy Palm sunday of 1865. two men sat at small ta5es 2 group Of officers stond- ing around them.
 One of the two men at the tables was stately of bearing while-bearded, broad Of brow He was clad In a brand new dress uniform Of gray with gold trappings. and the sword he wore was costly and of furnished hilt. The mon at the opposite table was shorter thick set. broWn'beardod A cigar was stuck in one corner of hts thin-lipped mouth His blue fatigue uniform was wrinkled and unbrushed, and the trouscr legs were stuck into the top of pair of muddy boots He wore no sword
 There was nothing of the story-book hero about this grim little man in blue nothing spectacular or tlashy He was tacilurn wholly undramatic and he always went about his work n Qdet mal,erot-iact way The particular work he had just finished was the crushing of the Southern Con federacy and the dealing of death blow to the Civil War
 The End Of Confectionery
 He was U s. Grant The man in gray was Gen. Robert E. Lee. Grant had smashed Lees last defense at dreaded army of Northern Virginia dying in retreat past Richmond to. ward Appomatox. There Sheridan's cavalry had cut oil their retreat and captured the supply trains on which the furnished Coniederates were rely ing. Grant had come up with the main Federal forces and Lee was fairly caught

The army Of Northern Virginia was the last real bulwork Of the Conled- eracy-the very power that stood be. tween it and destruction Through death. capture and desertion during the past few days that army had dwindled to less than 2s.OOO ragged and hungy mcn of whom only about one.lhird were armed. Between the 25th of March and Palm Sunday CAD. rii % Lee had lost something like 20. 900 troops There was now no aller native for him but to yield
 lie and Grant met in che McLen house at AppomattoS, and there the terms of surrender were drawn up These terms were practically the only otrcaty that ended the Civil War
 The conquorors Magnanlmity
 Grant merely required that Lee sur render himself aud his army giving their parole of honor moi to take up arms against the United States gov. ernment again unless regularly ex. changed. These were the sole condi- tions exacted by the conQueror from his helpless foe.
 He furthermore gave back to the Confederate officers their side arms and luggage to officers and men alike their horses-and pledged the faith of the government that they should not be punished for their treason and rebellion SO long as they should commit no further acts of dis obedience.
 Also a. Lees entreaty Grant order. ed ratlsns dealt out to the starving Confederate soldiers. who for the pass week or so had been living chiefly on scant quantities of prched corn and he urged them to 50 back to their farms and begin the spring plough ing.

MONEY
 IS COMING IN

First results of the license law en. acted by the last Legislature are ey- idencod in applications received by the office of the Territorial Treasurer today in which requests for licences arc made as follows: Henry Cocker ne. of Valdez. applies for profession- al license to practice dentistry Cock erllle will receive Professional Li- cense No. ]. License No. 9 will so to Ernest C. Dalton, also of Valdez. who applies for prophessionai physi- cian's license Harold M Craig of Haines, will receive license No. 8. likewise a phyisicians license.
 Two automobile licenses have been applied for one of the applications coming from Claude T. Boyles, of Val. dez and the other Owen E- Meals ct the same city Boyles will be granted General License No. ]. and Meals General License No. Q
 The office reports several applica- tions from eKtchilSan for mining and fishing licenses as well as profession al licenses. ft win be remembered that until the enactment of the last Legislature became euective the Ter ritory was unable to collect license fees owing to the fact that although a law had been passed authorizing their collection it was found that the law was opposed to the organic law of the territory and that collections could not be made by the clerks of the court. as the law then provided.
 The organic law was amended by Congress in 1914. Tho new law just passed provided that these collections be handled by the Treasurers' o0ce.

than war. The war of to-day has its
primal motive to keep the farmer down.
1t is, at bottom, the fight of pride and
privilege against the common man. 1t
is the last stand of imperialism against
democracy. 1t is the last supreme eff
fort of those who believe that some
men and some nations are good enough
to rule other men and nations against
their will. This is not the whole story
of the war, but it is what the war has
come to mean. No nation can make
money out of any war, and no nation
that begins war can tell how it will
end. But in every war there are some
few men, contractors, gunmakers, iron
plate makers, who make a good deal OF
money. And so long as the Krupps, the
Vickers and the Schneiders of Europe,
the 'armor-plate patriots of Germany,
England and France, have their way,
there will always be war, and the farm
ers of the world will pay for it."
