 Did not the Kaiser quote from Steph- en A. Douglas or Wendell Phillips, asks the Scotsman. Douglas said. God and one are a majority" Phil lips exphession took this form, "one on Gods side is a majority"
 Some scholars attributed the lines to an old Spanish proverb. At any rate, it is pointed out. that being ''in majority" was not sixteenth cen tury phrase.

BOUNTY IS PAID
 FUR RUSSIAN PRISONERS

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 BERLIN, Feb. 23-An officer at Aus trian headquarters in Galicia writes of how a Bohemian corporal who spoke Russian carried on a lucrative business enticing Russians over to the Austrian lines by painting to them in rosy colors the easy time Russian prisoners were having in Austria.
 For every unarmed prisoner this thrifty corporal is able to entice to our lines," he writes, he gets twen- ty cents, while for an armed one he gets forty cents. Hence he usually sends an armed deserter back to get his gun and, if possible, to bring some of his comrades with him, There continued to be many desert. CTS as long as the 23Oth Russian dI- vision was in front of our lines; but this has been replaced with a more trustworthy division, owing to the fact that 1t mutinied on the Russian New Year"
 The Austrian undertakes to explain the mutiny by saying:
 The malcontents appeared before their commander and complained that the promise to finish the war bv New Year had not been kept. He put them off with the soothing news that he was expecting every moment telegram from the Czar announcing the end of the war; but when the telegram failed to materialize fifty men deserted to the Austrians."

 MT. Evans was in full charge of the expedition. The Matanuska Valley, he said, is broad, with much fertile soil. The coal beds outcrop from Moose Creek to the head of the valley. distance of thirty to forty miles. The climate is delightful, with very little rain. In winter snow falls to a depth of about three feet, and while it is cold, at the same time 1t is com fortable.
 The Boring River field lies fifteen miles east of the mouth of Copper river, he said, and Is sometimes known as the Controller Bay field. The eli mate is not as desirable as that of Matanuska because of the excessive rain and snow. The soil, however. is good and crops of vegetable can be grown.
 This field has high grade bltuminous and anthracite coal, he said. with about twenty-eight square miles of the former and twenty-two of the latter While analysts has shown the bitu- minous equally as good as that of Matanuska, the navy tests have not shown 1t up to the Matanuska quality.

FIJI VOLUNTEERS
 ARE NIFTY SOLDIERS

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 LONDON, Feb. 23-The Fiji Island volunteers proved a sad disappoint- ment that lined the way to the war office to see the contingent march by. It was expected that they would ri- val the Indian Sikhs and Ghurkas, The Algerian TurcQs or the Senegal ese for picturesqueness But instead of giant, coffe-colored islanders with skirts of tapa cloth and necklaces of beads, with perhaps modsrn rifles sub stituted for war clubs and spears, the crowd saw a band of tall, we'll tanned British coloniah, uniformed in khaki-colored shirts, riding brooches with puttees and gray slouch felt hats turned up on one side. They were sixty in number, of whom quar- ter were born in the Ffjis and the oth- CTS in Australia. They have raid their own way to England, sailing from the islands to Vancouver and crossing Canada to embark for the mother country.
 So advanced is the military train ing of the Fiji volunteers that they will be sent to France next month. They must first be outfitted for the cold weather, however, to which they are now quite sensitive.
