The findings of the board were not
announced, but it is believed that the
report will eXonerate Supt. w. S,
Harris OF the school.
The local committee was named by
Supt. Cook to take testimony in the
case, but they declined because the
colored members refused to act unless
they had power to determine what
should be done.
One of the witnesses was Onhelia
Wade, a 21-year-old ncgress, who
provoked the strike by alleging az
insult Lad been offered her. Sup.

Let u not be forgotten that President wison's victory was won not for the United States. but for law Germany has not conceded" anything to this nation she has simply acknowledged that the accepted principles of international apply to submarine war fare-that the use of a particular device has not ai fected their validity or cogency Germany has not made a particular concession to particular nation; she has announced her willingness to change her prae tice with respect to the destruction Of merchant ships to conform to the international code.
 Her previous refusal was based on the contention that Eneands violations of international practice jus tned her own although the uncontested rights of neu trals were thereby disregarded Germany now ack- nowledges practically if not explicitly, that the fact that England has wronged her does not justify her in wronging us.
 This is much more important than special con- eessiou to the United States would have been-such one as she proposed when she offered to guarantee the immunity from attack of particular vessels marked and safeguarded in particular ways Of course, the very idea of carrying on ocean trade under such conditions was ntolerabe to nation with spark of selfrespect but leaving this aspect out of the matter on one side such concessions" even if made in manner not re- pungen to du sefrespect would have been indicative simply of particular attitude toward They would have been mere international personalities. But now Germany has bowed not to the United States but to law: she has yielded not to power, but to prinet pie Her acceptance of our view thus becomes part of the history of civilization civilization is but the substitution of general principles of action for more personal motives.

sEArrLrs MUNICIPAL DEVELOPMENT

The municipal pay roll of the City Of Seattle now amounts to Ss.27OOOo year. The number of employ ees is about 5000 The figures tell story of munich pal development him who looks for it that is mighty interesting regardless as whether approves or disapproves of the manner of development The tale is one of increasing municipal activities. The munich paes are doing more as municipalities than be- fore
 But to return to the meaning of these figures, it must be taken into that they independent of the schools with their hundreds of teachers inspect ors physicians and other specialists, ianiors care takers etc. Nor do they include the county govern ment with its hundreds of tax assessors collectors treasury custodans recorders accountants road build CTS carers for the poor law enforces etc. the nine courts of supreme jurisdiction with their clerks bal ifs jurors experts etc.. etc. They apply simply to the municipality itself
 What do the people get for this money is the ques tion that suggets itself? We shall not attempt ex pert examination as to whether they get full value not but that is not necessary in order to understand that the city is doing lot than support a police system. a fire department and street improvement force It means that the municipality provides parks and playfeds: lights it's streets and furnishes the city and citizens with water 1t inspects the hotels apartments and other buildings; 1t carries away and burns the garbage and of the city, it maintains employment bureaus; 1t feeds the unemployed and gives them place to sleep; operates street car line and is considering more of 1t; in short it is extending municipal activity in many lines. and the demand for further growth along that line seems unsatiated.

GETTING ACQUAINTED
Fairbanks Times.)


 In his efforts to secure federal protection for the timber of Alaska, Chief Forester Graves will have the support of every Northerner Alaskans believe in con- servaton that conserves They can be depended upon to lend their assistance to any plan which has its object the prevention of waste and any steps that be taken by the forestry department to reduce the nual destruction of timber by fire will be doubly wei come.
 Alaska has been much neglected in this regard by the federal government in the past, with the result that the chief forester has observed since his ar
 rival in the Territory thousands of of forest have been laid waste The destruction is annual occur ence each adding materially to the burned and lessenng the possibilities of future development The losses during the present in the immediate vicinity of Fairbanks have been particularly severe and doubtless in every could have been prevented at least moderated had the district been properly policed by competent to cope with such situa- tion.
 The conclusion reached by Mir. Graves. as the re- suit of his Northern trip, suggest the advisabty of encouraging the heads of other federal departments to visit Alaska. An intimate knowledge of conditions in this country cannot be acquired at Washington. The distance is too great The reports which reach the ous Appointments through regulation channels do not serve properly to enlighten those who should know the Territory thoroughly The present trip has been ation to Mir. Graves and already have assurances of reforms in consequence The coming of other de- partmen heads doubtless would hasten muchneeded re- forms along other lines.

WHAT AMERICAN SKILL CAN DO.

Ten submarines designed by American engineers and built by American artisans according to the New York Herald have crossed the Atlantic under their own power and are now in active service. They did not start from American ports of course The neutrality laws were strictly observed They were erected and launchei at Montreal
 But while others were talking about submarines that could cross the seas American engineering skill and American craftsmanship have made them ac compished fact Five of them are said to be some where in the North Sea and the other five somewhere in the Dardanelles
 But the really important part to consider is this: IT American skill can perform such feats just in the ordinary course of business for money price what may not be expected of it when patriotic motive is added by an attack our own country in denial of it's rights?

ALAsKA AND Irs COPPER
Seattle Times.)

Seattle Times)
 Some observers may see in the marked increase ol Alaskas copper output as result of Europes war; an indication that the Territory will play far more im porant part in the calculation of military commanders in the future than in the past
 Copper is necessary to the conduct of war; There was hope at one time in Britain that inability to ob tain supplies of this metal would hamper German milt tary operations just there is now hope in London that the same result will be achieved by curbing the foes cotton supply
 It is even within the bounds of possibility that the United States might day be compelled to reckon with the Alaska copper supply either to supply its own armies in order to prevent an enemy from ob taning control Of the Territory and it's output of the metal
 The United States would of course, as a patriotic measure hold Alaska against all the world This nat ural policy may be supplemented by anoher-that retaining control of the territorial copper in time o war.
 There are two ways of holding the country One is that used by the Russians defend Siberia against encroaching Japan-by settling numbers of its hardy citizens in the country. The second is that used by Britain to protect its coonies-by creating great fleet
 The latter policy would prevent the landing of a foe in Alaska. followed by the United States to the lenses and naval bases on the coast of the United States and in Alaska. The former would be defensive for the pioneer Aaskans could be depended upon to de peratey resist invader if resistance within the range of possibilities
