THE REAL HEAD
OF RUSSIA'S ARMY
General AleIeff Is a Master
of Strategy.

Though the car is the nominal COM
mander in chief of the Russian armies.
it is no secret that the real man at the
head is General Michel Vassilievitch
Alexeff. who is the chief Of the gen.
eral staff. He seems to be the man
who has come through the close sitting
of time and stress. Since he took
charge there has been new spirit in
the Russian armies. No one knows
that better than the kaiser and Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg. The allies
know it, too, and the French govern
ment has conferred on him the grand
cross of the Legion of Honor. 1t was

WAS THE PERSIA
AN ARMED VESSEL?
A Vexed Question of Interna-
tiOnaI Law.

One of the most perplexing phases
of the sinking Of the P. and o. liner
Persia is the fact that the Persia
mounted one At inch gun. This was
disclosed in a dispatch from United
States Consul Garrels' statement at
Alexandria. Egypt The consul, how
ever, did not state where the gun was
mounted. The Hague convention pro-
vides that a merchant ship may carry
a gun mounted on the stern for pur-
poses of defense without being con-
sidered an armed ship.

international law to the limited arm

GENERAL MICHEL ALEXEFF.

General AleXeff who foiled the at
tempt of the Germans to trap the Rus
sian army during its retreat. This
was previous to his promotion as chief
of staff.
General Alexeff is a studious man.
He works hard, and for many years
he was professor in the military
academies of Petrograd, Moscow and
Nicolaieff In his manners he is demo
cratic, and in addition to being popu-
with the leading spirits of the now
dissolved duma, which. after all, rep
reSents the Russian people better than
the autOcratic government
His military career dates from the
RuSso-Turkish war in 1S77-S, when
Russia tried to break her way through
to the Golden Horn in vain. Young
AleXeff had been graduated from the
Military academy at Moscow in 1874
as a Sublieutenant. and during the war
with the Turks he was wounded three
times. In 1890 he was attached to the
general staff.
In the war with Japan he was one Of
those whose regulations were enhanc-
ed rather than the contrary. He was
in command of the Third army in Man.
churia. and the japanese recognized
him as worthy opponent. When the
war was over the car gave him a
jeweIed sword as a mark of his re-
gard. 1t had not been A1exeff's fault
that things had gone wrong.

The Royal Box.

Princess Henry Of Battenberg, COVER
nor of the Isle of Wight, is the only
British woman ruler.
King Peter of Servia is not a mill
tary man at heart. Rather Is he a
scholar and philosopher, as is shown
by his admiration of John Stuart Mill,
whose works he has anonymously
translated into Servian.
King Gustav of Sweden is teetotal-
er, and he and the entire royal family
Of Sweden are at the head Of the tenn
perance movement in Sweden. His
mother for over forty years devoted
her time and money and influence to
the cause of temperance.

GOING SOME

Rio De JaneirO, Dec. 11.-Comes a
story from Ypacarai, Department of
Paraguari, Paraguay, that Jacintho
Chilavert, merchant and congressman,
and wife are the proud parents of A
children, who have been arriving for
20 years in squads of two, three and
even four, and are all living and in
good health.
Something more than a generation
ago the male population of Paraguay
was all but wiped out by internecine
strife and now Chilavert and wife are
doing their part toward repopulating
the country. This should bring joy to
the heart of Teddy Roosevelt. There
IS no race suicide there, but how
about the high cost of living?

TRIED TO SUPPRESS
NORTHWEST WORKER

The fact that an attempt was made
to suppress the Northwest Worker,
the socialist paper, published in the
interest Of the socialist party of Sno-
homish County was about the
smallest piece Of meanness of which
The Commercial Clubs mob Of con-
sptrators has been guilty.
No thinking man or woman would
expect Of those persons who have
turned loose their wolfish wrath upon
all who dared to discuss or call public
attention to their misdeeds and law
le-suess to tolerate publicity. If they
can suppress one newspaper, they can
suppress any publication which is not
financially strong enough to resist,
which dares to print the truth about
their illegal acts.
No. no: they could find no law to
suppress the publication, so they tried
% choke it to death by threatening to
boycott the printing concern in whose
hop the paper was printed. But thus
far they have failed. There are other
shops.
II seems that the head and front of
The Workers offending was the pub

hoods was established or given demon
stration. Incidentally to that wider
agreement there was formed during
the convention closer cooperation be
tween the brotherhoods and those
trades allied with them in the trans
portation service that were already in
cluded within the Federation.
The convention, in other words, dis
played to the nation it's control of the
machinery or the instruments with
which the workers and producers of
wealth are prepared to defend them
selves against economic expressions
of combined money or the political
tyrannies which combined money as
sumes the power to inflict. The in
strument or the machinery prepared
by the labor movement for it's side in
whatever industrial struggle i'm
Ponds is made the more potent by the
fact that the supply of workers is
now restricted by world facts.
So much was done by the conven-
ton that the convention assumed the
proportions of a capable legislative
congress.
1t was, in fact, labor's legislative
comment and labor's legislative action
on the industrial facts disclosed by
the United States Commission on In
.dustrial Relations.
The convention furthermore de-
clared again labor's opposition to
militarism and to militaristic training
of young persons in the schools 1t
ratified the steps already taken by the
Federation to bring about interna-
tional understandings through cement
ing international relationships of the
working classes. 1t not only ratified
the steps already taken, but made
further steps forward as affecting es-
pecially the United States and Mexico,
the South American republics and
Japan. With regard to Porto Rico,
the resolutions of the convention
demonstrated that the American labor
movement wished to extend American
protection to human rights rather
than to investments of capital in
neighboring countries and posses
sions.
The many specific acts and resolu-
tons of the convention can hardly be
enumerated by a brief survey and ap-
probation of it. The spirit of the
convention was it's dominant factor.
There was an Enthusiastically self-con-
fident democratic spirit. But it was
embodied also in definite and direct
statements on the fundamental demo
cratic issues of the time. The In
dustrial Conference Board and the
railroads, who have thrown down the
challenge to organized labor, will be
surprised at the prOmptness and
yigor with which labor has taken the
challenge up.

SHERIFF McCULLOCH

Mr.. McCulloch is equipped by long
experience, moral and physical cour-
age, and is in every way capable.
When he assumes, early next month,
the office of sheriff his friends are
confident that he and he alone will
be sheriff, because he knows how to
perform the duties of the office as an
honest and efficient public servant.

1t seems that bureaucracy in the
Department of Commerce, being hos
tile to the LaFollette Seamen's law,
are trying to make some parts of it

RIGHT TO PICKET
UPHELD IN COURT

Cheer up. Court decisions are not
always against labor, which makes us
think the Clayton act is not in vain.
The attention of the Everett Com
mercial Club is called to the follow
ing telegram:
Chicago, Dec. S.-The right of the
members of the Tri-City Central
Trades Council of East st. Louis to
picket the plant of the American
Steel Foundry was upheld by the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals in decision reversing the
United States District Court.
""The right to strike for higher
wages and improved conditions of
labor is too firmly established to
necessitate further elucidation,' the
decision said.
In the pursuit of a lawful purpose
to secure a raise in wages, picketing
may be employed, as this court has
held, to ascertain whom the late en-
ployer has persuaded or attempted to
persuade to accept employment and
persuasion may be used to induce
them to refuse or quit employment.
Methods may be considered law
full even though the employers bust
ness is interfered with, because such
methods are incidental to the right
of the employed, which right should
be and is recognized as equal to the
right of the employer
