 Mir. Mcdonald went to Washington, D. C., where he virtually camped un- til last September, when the commis. sioner of the General Land office, Clay Tallman, called on the Juneau land office for all papers and documents and a report on the case, following which one of the Mcdonald claims was ordered patented.
 From the location of the claim with reference to tidewater, it should be possible for Mcdonald to ship coal on a commercial scale almost at once as small boats and barges can navl- gate to Boring lake at almost all stages of the tide.
 The coal on this 16O acres is a semi bituminous coal and 1t is reported to be of a very high grade, and experts have declared the claim the richest in the field.

Peace

All neutral sons should hail the day When warning hosts their hands shall
 stay
 This worlds sad tragedy. When weary hearts to hearts shall yield A pledge of friendship on the field
 Now fraught with destiny. When brothers from their hearts shall
 say We've fought our light and hall the day And pledge 1t with our life. When greed of power and lust shall cease And those at war shall give release To weary sons of strife. Who has lost faith in wrongs redressed or sons with heavy hearts oppressed Or born to poverty For he who guides through starry space The suns and worlds that run their race Shall judge In equity.

ITALIANS IN RICHMOND
DIVIDED ON WAR ISSUE

An Italian reservist said today the
divided on the Italian war question
as the Americans were on what action
the government should take on the
Lusitania incident
The reservists have not received no.
tice officially that war has been de-
clared and will not return to their
country until such notice is given. If
they fail to respond to this call, they
will never be able to return to Italy
again because of the close registration
system not only of army men and re-
servists, but also of private citizens.
Some of the more conservative 1tal-
ians believe Italy plunged into war
unnecessarily and favor a policy SINH
lar to the "Watchful waiting" of Pres
ident Wilson, the Italian said, who eX-
planned the situation.
How Police Work.
The police are in charge of every
thing in Italy all the time" he said
In time of peace, if you wanted to 60
from one district to another as you go
from Indiana to Ohio, we would have
to have a customs house paper which
is similar to passport. If you don t
have this. the police will arrest you.
There is a complete registration sys-
tenn for everybody. Every district is
districted into smaller sections and a
person from one section of a city is
not permitted to shop in neighbor-
ing section without permit.
This shows the strictness of Italy
