C0E, SAFE AND WELL,
FOUND IN ALASKA
Young Standard Oil Employe,
Missing Since January, Lo-
Gated in Fairbanks.

NEW YORK. May 1.-Henry Clarke
Coe. jr.. the Standard Oil employe who
disappeared from his home in Boston
January 30 last, after bidding his
young wife good-by, Is alive and well
In Alaska, according to information in
a telegram brought back from Boston
by the young mans father. DR.. Il. c.
Coe.
DR.. Coe is so certain that his son has
been found that he authorized the Bos
ton detective agency to send men at
once to Fairbanks. Alaska. from where
the message came, to complete the
Identification.
Il cannot disclose the sender Of the
message. but ! am confident our long
search Is ended" said DR.. Coe today.
The telegram is believed to have
come from operatives of the agency
who have been securing the Northwest
for the strangely missing man.
Young Coe had been traced through
several of the Middle Western and
Western States. but just as the detec-
tives believed their search was to be
rewarded, Coe eluded them. For sew
eral weeks operatives have been visit
Ing towns in Alaska. where 1t seemed
virtually certain that Coe had gone.
Reports that the detectives we're close
on the young mans trail were fol-
lowed Tuesday by the definite assur-
ance that they finally had found him
and that he was in good health.
Coe was to attend q meeting in the
Boston offices of the Standard OIL Com
pany the day he disappeared. A little
more than a month after he left home
a daughter was born to his wife. and
It was thought that this would bring
him back.
There was no explanation for his dis
appearance except that his mind may
have been affected by business worries.
The Standard OIL Company through its
many subsidiaries Joined in the nation
wide search that was being made. but
nearly all of the reports of his appear
anCe in various parts OF the United
States were found to be cases of mis-
taken identity.

Takes Exception To Viola Kauf
mann's Letter.

mann's Letter.
Just a line In argument to Viola Kaur-
man:
The State OF Mississippi may have
had twelve lynchings last year, not due
or connected In any way whatever with
man-made laws-due to the instinct OF a
few poor degenerate men, mentally par
alyzed from whisky Illinois had more
lynchings in 1914 than any other state.
Why pick Mississippi? Because women
are gaining faster in Illinois than in
Mississippi?
The State Of South Carolina protects
its women. Her men rise and give a
lady a seat in a car. and there are Jim
Crow cars. Same conditions in
Georgia
Moro women, men. and children were
killed in the Colorado mine disaster
than all the lynchinss combined last
year. There is calico Senator" In
Colorado. Why didn't she do some
thing?
Now, I was reared in the North. and
am partisan. but not TO the extent that
l am mentally deficient IN common
sense or reasoning.
I have been In everv State she men,
tions in her arguments. and conditions
are even worse In many woman suf-
frage communities.
One thing more: Should women have
the entire making of laws in South
Carolina or Georgia would that stor
lynchings? Would 1t stop Illicit whisky
making?
Would appreciate It II Viola Kauf-
man would kindly post us at to what
advantage laborer would have II
women made the laws.
What would they do with the orphan
asylums?

from $100,0O0,000 TO 5000, 100000 a
year in the expenses of foreign
travel, nearly all of it in Europe. Not
only will this be kept at home for
the greater part, but most of the
greatly reduced number of people
who are going abroad this year are
going, not to spend money there,
but to bring back big sums of it. The
golden tide, for one summer at least,
will flow toward these shores rather
than from them, and whether the
actual cash comes to US now or is
represented by credits and loans is
comparatively immaterial. The fact
remains that another year of wa,
will pretty nearly clean up the debt
that we owe to Europe; it will take
this country out of the list of debtor
nations, and will do 1t without our
quite realizing it.
The scope of this commercial op-
portunity that the war brings to
America is indeed difficult quite to
realize. In the first place it brings
US prosperity where prosperity was
not. After that it forces certain
economies upon us that mean solid
saving, both now and in future; and
it pays off the big debt we have
been owing abroad. 1t is as if a
business house, deeply in debt and
finding. business thoroughly bad,
should suddenly stumble on a time
In which it was able very quickly to
restore it's business and at the same
time pay off its obligations.
Foreign travel will be affected for
long time in future by the war; but
it is too early to tell how. Without
a doubt there will, Immediately after
the war, be grand rush of Ameri-
cans to see the battlefelds on which
the war will have been fought, and
to get first-hand impressions of the
conditions it will have produced. But
after that rush it is quite possible
that for considerable period Amer
lea will be disposed to fall back or
other resources of amusement. Our
people are going to learn a vast deal
about their own country, this year
that they have not known before
There are already signs of a dispo.
sition to give more thought to the
Americas as a world worth the see
ing. The opening of the canal ano
the California expositions will give
direction to a new stream of trave
that will not exhaust itself in one
season, but that on the contrary vii
be likely to be augmented in future

OUTFLANKING EMPIRES

learned that the allies had staged
one of the biggest campaigns of the
war, that against the Hellespont and
Constantinople, so secretly and effec-
lively that the attack was actually
opened before the outside public
had known it was coming. 1t was
like a movement to outflank central
Europe. Now comes from Russia
the report that the marvelously re-
sourceful and active Germans are
believed to be opening a movement
whose purpose would be nothing less
than to outflank Russia. 1t is said
that German cruisers are co-operat-
ing with an expedition that has
placed cavalry in the Baltic prov
inces of Russia, with the purpose of
making a raid into the interior and
menacing the railroad communica-
tions through which the immense
Russian armies many hundreds Of
miles to the southwest must be pro-
visioned and renewed. 1t would be
daring adventure; yet the annals
of successful military strategy
record Sherman's march to the sea,
which was vastly more risky, and
which succeeded.
The dispatches mention Polangen
as the scene of these developing
German operations. Polangen is al
most at the western extremity Of
the Russian frontage on the Baltic
Sea. From it, distance is only a
few miles to Lobau, farther north
on the Baltic, which is the great
Russian naval base and one of the
important points for manufacture of
munitions; while at a distance of
about $50 miles to the southwest
from Polangen is the very important
railroad center of Wilma, or Wilno,
in the Russo-Polish province of
wilma. Here center a number of
lines by which Russia is able to
maintain communication between her
armies in Austria and the hoAe
bases.
1t would be a master stroke if the
Germans could make raid into
the Baltic provinces of Russia in suf-
ficient force to cut off Libau, seize
Wilma, and break up the railroad
communications, in large part at
least, between the Russian armies
at the front and their sources of
supply. 1t is very evident that the
immense forces the Car is main.
tanning in Galicia must be imposing
a great task on the railroad lines
that keep them supplied with am.
munition and food. To get in their
rear, even with comparatively
small force, sufficiently mobile to in.
fict maximum of damage very
quickly, VOID be to inflict terrific
blow at Russian power just now.
Invasion of Russia is one of the
enterprises in which no military
leader in his right mind is likely ir
future to engage. Charles XII and
Napoleon, geniuses of their respec.
tive periods, both tried that, and il
cost each a crown. But there is q
vast difference between the attempt
to pierce far into the interior OF
Russia, a hundred and two hundred
years ago, when it was vast steppe
without any good roads and wher
railroads were undreamed of, anc

least threatening to attempt a per
formance that might result, for once
in disaster through an actual effor
to outflank the military might of tn,
