Can Ii Be True?

The News has no desire to iutrude in any way upon the controversy going on between the Juneau dailies, but now and then a masterly statement slides from the pen of one or the other of them that SO completely answers all previous arguments that we cannot refrain from quoting 1t. We give as case in pointan excerpt from an article in the Empire on "Alaska Democrats aud Patronage;
 "Tbe Empire believes that Che rank and fle of tbe Democratic party in Alaska. like the rank and fle of the Democratic party of ths Nation, is democratic and more concerned over the translation of democratic principles into realities Of government than it is ever who is holding this office or that as long as the people are getting good service. It believes that there is a world of legitimate use for the Demo cratic party in Alaska, aud it believes that Democrats know this and will make it apparent when they assemble again in convention as they made it plain at tbe Sksgway convention in 1914. It believes that the democrats of Alaska do not regard the party simply as a vehicle for the use of meu am- bitious to get on the public payroll, but as an organization which can aid the President and other great men of the organization in the task of develop. ing Alaska, Hs resources and govern ment in accordance with American principles"

The kind-hearted editor of the White horse Star gives the following advice Do Alaskans: "Since the liberal parcel post regulations offer such favorable inducements, the Sears Roebuck con- oern, which has a branch house in Sc attle, has announced its intention of going after the grocery trade of Alaska through the mails. The grocers of Alaska can compete with these "big fellows" only in one way and that is by getting down to a rock bottom cash basis. Tbe mail order houses extend no credit and the dealer who does and who loses an occasional bill, can never compete with the former. The resi- deuts of Alaska who are interested in building up their country will not send their money to the Seattle concern.

EVEN WILSON'S PATIENCE is
ALMOST PLAYED OUT

Washington, July 31.-Deinite
steps towards the restoration of peace
In Mexico will be taken Immediately
after President Wilson's return from
New Hampshire next week. This
specific action was disclosed, but it
was not stated authoritatively that the
executive departments of the govern
ment' were preparing to carry out the
program determined upon Only an
unexpected move in Mexico itself to
restore peace, would prevent the Unit
ed States taking a hand now. Armed
Intervention is not regarded as con-
templated, as it is believed that most
of the factions will force a conference
to restore peace, although Carranza
is still holding off. Whether in case
the conference did not meet, the Unit
ed States would lay an embargo on
arms, or use United States soldiers to
guarantee the transportation of food
to the starving is unknown, but the
army and navy are known to be ready
for any eventuality.

AMERICA PAYS FOR
GERMANY'S INHUMANITY
An Incomplete Estimate of What il
is Costing Our Country to Keep
Belgium Alive

London, July, 31.-The principal
speaker of the opening of the summer
season of Kings College was Fl. c.
Hoover, chairman of the American
commission for relief in Belgium. His
address was a description of the work
Of the commission
81 could bore you stiff with details
of the multitudinous branches of our
work." he remarked, "but the main
facts are there:
"Foodstuffs worth $4,000, 900 have
been supplied and sold up to June 30;
1.-TWO hundred ninety-three COM
plete shiploads, comprising over 6O0.-
900 tons of bread stuffs, have been
imported;
"We are spending $3,5O0,OOO for
the upkeep of the eanteens for Bel
gians absolutely destitute;
"We have spent $5OO,O0O through
the committee appointed to look after
homeless and orphan children; $4,000
children have been placed in tempor-
airy homes until after the war;
Twenty thousand foreign refugees
in Belgium are also being cared for
and fed;
'Tn destroyed communities $500, 900
has been spent in the erection of tenn
porary shelters;
"Clothing worth $3,4OO, 900 has been
distributed through the central cloth
ing bureau in Brussels;
"For the purchase Of clothing
locally, $2,2OO,000 has been distribut-
ed to the destitute;
1.-THE total subscriptions up to date
in actual cash have been about $15,-
OOO, 900;
ain the distribution of food over
$4,000 volunteer workers, mostly Bel
gians, have been employed; I.
The relief work has extended to
the distribution of medical supplies
and to the distribution of thousands
of tons of seed TO agriculturalists;
"In France, where the nation is
still behind the dispossessed indus
trial workers, the commission has
found it sufficient to grant money
subventions to the communes, which
undertake the care Of their own des-
titute"

LIFE IN LONDON
Has the Gaiety of Men Seeking n
Brief Respite from Wars
Horrors
oAssociated Press)

London, July 31.-One of the par
adoxes of the war is the visiting of
Parisians to London for a bit of ex-
citement and gaiety. Paris is moth
ing like its old self, for its theaters
are closed, motor buses at the front,
most of its taxis laid up and large
number of hotels closed. But London
has sacrificed but little of its old life.
Hotels are full, tea rooms and res
taurants as crowded as ever, the
aters, especially the music halls and
revues, well attended and the Hyde
Park and upper Thames have their
usual crowds of holiday makers.
But this does not mean that London
does not feel the war. The hotel
guests are mainly purchasing agents
for the allied powers, visiting at
taches on official business and agents
for American factories looking for
supply contracts. Comparatively few
of the younger men seen in the fash
ionable tea places and restaurants
wear civilian clothes. Khaki is also
the prevailing colore among the men
at the revues. The 'Piccadilly knut," I"
as the young men who set the fash
ions are called, has largely disappear
ed from his old haunts.
LOndon's gaiety is in one sense
largely kept up by the war. Men liv-
ing the hard routine of duty at the
training camps or a life of constant
danger at the front seem to find a
complete change and rest of mind in
a frivolous show as in nothing else.
The first idea of a wounded man on
getting out of the hospital is a round
of restaurants and variety halls. Of
ficers and enlisted men with arms in
sings and on crutches are sights too
there to attract more than
passing notice.
