DANGEROUS TO FRIEND AS TO
 FOE.

From present happenings the de- duction seems fairly safe that Turkey will suffer as much, if not in quite the same way, from alliance with Germany as Belgium has suffered as a result of putting herself on the oth- CT side by resisting the violation of her neutrality.
 We have, indeed, heard too often since this war began of decisive vic- tories that later proved to have decid- ed nothing to assume with any con- fidence that Turkeys defeat by Rus sia settled the conflict in that par ticular "theatre,' but the Russian re- ports on military operations, though they have often concealed reverses, have never exaggerated successes, and it can be taken as a fact that a considerable part of the Turkish army in the Caucasus has been de- stroyed and the remainder very se- verely handled.
 As this was accomplished without materially weakening the Russian forces to the northward, the Turks canot view the situation that con- fronts them with less than the gray. est of apprehensions, and not many of them can now be thinking that the outlook is promising. Retirement into Asia Minor, their long prophesied fate, is still open to them, but they can have no assurance that the gla- cial advance of Russia will stop at Constantinople.-EX

of bringing up ammunition and food and also, if necessary, endorsements of men to any point which may be menaced. Further provision for the conveyance of endorsements is at hand in the large numbers of auto mobiles of all kinds which can make the journey speedily from any point to another, carrying groups of arm ed men.
 The existing forts have also been strengthened, but now only serve as supporting points and depots for large bodies of troops resting from their trench duty.
 The Parisian delights in making Sunday trips to observe the works in- tended for his defense, and, although he is not permitted to learn many of the secrets of the arrangements, he has been able to see enough to in- spire him with confidence.

Plane Trees of Cannosa.

Not least among trees which have be- come celebrated are two giant plane trees at Cannosa, near Ragusa. that ''pearl of the Adriatic." Within three hours walk of Ragusa. on an elevation above the tideless sea, lies the famous garden of Count GoZze. From prim- itive landing place path leads up be- tween olives and pomegranates, myr- ties and oleanders to the level spot where the two colossal trees have stood from time immemorial. The effect of the larger tree upon a spectator standing beneath 1t is positively over- whelming. It takes twenty-five paces merely to walk closely round the trunk, while the spreading branches reach horizontally for from thirty to forty paces and then bend upward and fork. A good sized public meeting could be held in the shade of either of these immense trees.-Wide World Magazine.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1915.
OUR NEW JUDGE.

Charles E. Bunnell will be the new judge for the Fourth division, and The Citizen, which devoted it's energies in MT. Bunnell's behalf previous tG munity should feel complimented. Mr. BunnelPs clean campaign for del egate to congress earned for him the respect of the people of Alaska, and it is to be expected that his services as judge will be just as far above criticism as was his political campaign.
 There was a host of candidates for the judgeship, and many of them were creditable, competent men. Thus there were other men who applied for the job that could have filled the judge ship creditably, but no one will prob ably attempt to say that MT. Bunncll was not as good as any other aspi"- ant for the position.
 Knowing MT Bunnell's previously good record and his high sense of duty, The Citizen is ready to guar antee that he will be an unbiased, conscientious judge; that he will keep the back door of his office closed to attorneys who attempt to reach him by it's means improperly to influence him; that he will refuse to become affiliated with any political faction in Fairbanks; that he will enter heartily into the social and progressive life of the community, and that he will become party to no political job bery whatsoever
 If MT. Bunnell fails to come up to the foregoing standard, The Citizen will be quick to condemn him. But there is no danger that MT. Bunnell will be found wanting, for he has made it evident previously that he is man of rare good judgment and of high ethical sentiments.
 It would be political suicide for MT. Bunnell to forget his ideals at this time. His career is now in the m;.k- ing, as it were, and if he so far for gets himself as to become affiliated with men of questionable regulations or becomes party to plans for pro- mating the ambitions of undeserving politicians, he will lose caste. Upon MT. Bunnell's own strength of char .acter and upon his tactful ability to follow the course of duty without ere ating enemies will depend his future success.-Fairbanks Citizen

Peru the Source of Cocaine.

There is shrub in high Peru which does not bring the blessing of the po- tato-I mean the cocoa tree, whence comes cocaine. The leaf is chewed by young and old. Some doctors say 1t is very bad for the people of Peru. The infanti1e death rate is high. and they say few old persons are to be found. Other doctors aver that the cocoa leaf is very good for the peasants. am inclined to take view between the two opinions. I met man in Cuzco who was running grocery store. and Professor Giessecke told me they had very good proofs in that town that he was a hundred and fifty years old. He sold me chocolate and also cocoa leaves. l chewed the leaves to try to cure an ulcer in my stomach. and they helped me more than all the medicines of civilization that l had tried.-Peter MacQueen in National Magazine.

 That's a remarkable request" ob- jected the good fellow. "Why have you developed this streak of bashful- ness at this late day? l never saw any signs of 1t before"
 Never mind about that" said the niggardly man. You get out!"
 After long and acrimonious argu- ment the good fellow went out on deck and stayed half an hour. When he returned to the stateroOm the niggard- ly man was stretched out in the up- per berth. Moreover, he was dressed up like q Christmas tree in berib- boned nightgown and a woman's bou- doir cap.

PARIS DEFENSES
 NOW COMPLETED
City Is Surrounded By An In- trenched Camp Sixty Miles
 In Diameter.

PARIS, Jan. 19.-The army of eX- cavators who, early in September, began to dig Paris in when a Ger man siege was threatened, have com- pleted their work.
 The General Confederation of Workers alone sent 5000 volunteers, who provided their own digging tools and were merely recompensed by a daily ration of food. Thousands of Belgian refugees hunted from their own land have also assisted in the work
 The city now lies in the centre of an intrenched camp, whose diameter is about sixty miles and whose cir conference is nearly 200 miles. This is surrounded by row after row of trenches, thoroughly covered in with logs and turf, through which loop. holes have been left for rifle fire. All of them communicate with each oth- CT and contain traverse banks of earth to prevent them from being en- filaded, by infantry or machine gun fire. Out beyond them are rifle pits and barbed wire entanglements, plac- ed in all positions where an attack might originate. Still other precautions have been taken in front of the advanced line of trenches by the digging of deep ditches, whose existence is hidden by a light covering of branches and turf, making them invisible to approaching cavalry, infantry, or artillery, and forming veritable traps into which an attacking force might fall prey to the defenders machine guns and ri- fles.
 The approaches to the trenches from | the rear consist of subterranean gal ieries which permit the reliefs to be made without any exposure of the 1 men.
 All along this front posts of ob- servation have been established, each of which is constantly occupied by at least three men provided with pow. erful field glasses and in direct tele- phonic communication with head quarters and with the artillery bat teries In the immediate vicinity. The emplacements of these batteries are known only to the headquarters staff and to the men who serve the guns, all of which are buried in the earth, only their muzzles protruding. For the benefit of the gunners the ranges of all prominent objects in the front have been measured.

Got Away From tho odd One.

A curious story comes from the peo- pie of the Niger. A very rich man died, leaving the vast fortune (for Ni- geria) of 2OOO1 cowries. It fell to the lot of the king to divide them among three sons, and he was at his wits end to know what to do with the one cowrie. A wizard was called in. who gained boundless credit by doling out the cowries one by one until only six remained. These he divided into three lots of two each and gave lot to each son. The king to this day attributes this very satisfactory outcome to con- juring.-Independent.
