gineering commission is preparing to
push work this summer on the gov

great coal fields of the Matanuska

section will be new work on Turna-

and the third will be the completion of
the line from Anchorage to ChickalOon

found best for naval purposes.

EXCEPTIONAL TALENT SHOWN

Exceptional talent was displayed in
the pretty cantata, "Hiawatha," which
the pupils OF the Milan public school
rendered last evening at the town hall
before an audience that filled the room.
The entertainment was thoroughly en-
joyed by all those present and it is to
be repeated Monday at Augustana COL

The program was given under the
direction OF Miss Wilhelmina G. Wis

student teachers. Miss Johnson. Miss

Previous to the presentation of the tune

the school in a short musicale in which
some of the old fayorite songs were
featured
The Cantata had an excellent rendi-
ton, considering the age of the young
performers and the lack of adequate
stage facilities with which to properly
dress the production. The difficult
music was handled with an ease that
was surprising and instructors and
the pupils are both entitled to a great
deal of praise for the showing made.

new church edifice, members of the
United Presbyterian church, Rev. J.
L. Vance, pastor, have begun CAM
paign along four different lines: To
study designs for new church as to
size, form, style, material and cost;
TO survey the city as field for church
work, searching out the best location
for disposing of the old church or to
make the property source of revenue
by sale, rent or lease, and to devise
a scheme to finance the whole project
by securing large gifts and steady
contributions to a building fund. and
set on foot approved methods of earn
ing money
The property the congregation Is
now occupying is old and inadequate
to the needs of the body and it has
long been felt that a new church edi-
fee should house the congregation.
The church has recently taken up
mission work throughout the city and
organized the Oak Grove Presbyterian
church at Nineteenth avenue and
Twenty-fourth street, which it is ex-
pected will maintain a regularly ap-
pointed pastor in the near future,
The church has again branched out
and will tomorrow begin services at
Sears, holding services Sunday ar
ternoon at 3 o'clock in the Sears
school house. Sabbath school will be
followed by preaching services which
are to continue every week Rev. j.

Woodrow Wilson has presented
in a pen picture the strong con-
trasts between himself and Gro
yer Cleveland. In his history of
the American People, Wilson says
that Cleveland was of the "open
and downright sort that all men
who love strength must always
RELISH" that business men had
confidence in him because he had
successful business experience Of
his own, that long apprenticeship
in affairs made it plain to him
how men were to be handled, and
that his close acquaintance with
the personal side of party COM
bination was the basis of his po-
litical sagacity.' - In all these re-
spects Wilson differs from Cleve-
land. Wilson is secretive, not
oren. He had no successful bus
inesseXperience-in fact the boasts
OF his lack of business experience.
His, want of acquaintance with
the personal side of party affairs
accounts for his lack OF political
sagacity. His weakness in all
these respects will explain the
frequent need for his changing
his mind upon impt rtant public
questions. No successful busi-
ness man would need to change
his mind so often in his private
affairs. No man could make a
success of private business on
such small experience as Wilson's
Neither should any one be sur
prised that Wilson has made such
a dismal failure as CHEF eXecu-
tive of a nation of a hundred mil
lion people.

A COURSE FOR AVERTING WAR

The Tribune is ready to take into account the condi-
lions that confronted the German government in making
its reply to President Wilson's last note on the submarine
question, but it is not so ready to excuse those conditions.
They were of Germany's own making.
There is no doubt at all that the imperial govern
ment has been led to believe that the people of this
country were not behind the president and would not
back him up. And the people of Germany have been led
to the same belief by the agents of this same imperial
government. SO the German government, which is the
German military caste, is responsible for the sentiment
they have to combat if they would longer maintain friend
" relations with the United States.
The day after the president went before congress
with his recent message senators and representatives be-
gan to receive kilograms protesting against any support
OF the president in any act that might lead to war with
Germany. One congressman IS said to have received
5000 of these, all in the same language and all prepaid.
Now, who paid the tolls? If the signatures were gent
inc who organized the signers?
Among the recipients OF those "stock' kilograms was
Senator Husting of Wisconsin, who made reply to all o.
them by publicly replying to one. He suggested that no
one was more DESTROYS of keeping the country out OF war
than he, but that war could best be averted by wrong
Welding to right, and he would therefore respectfully
suggest that the authors of the kilograms also telegraph
the German ambassador at Washington of the ferVld
desire of all Americans to remain at peace, and that peace
could best be preserved by a strict observance by the I'M
Derial government of the provisions OF international law
governing naval warfare. And Senator Hustlng further
suggested to the signers OF the kilograms that they wire
the ambassador that all Americans, regardless of their
ancestry or syrnpathles, stand sol1dly back OF their gov
eminent in this crisis.
If kilograms in favor of peace are a good thing, there
is no reason why some of them should not be sent to the
ambassador in question for transmission to his govern
ment at home and if possible for circulation among the
subjects of that government. The Won Papen organlza-
ton in this country was not truly representative or
American sentiment, and the propaganda it spread, both
here and in Germany, has added tremendously to the dit
fculties of both governments.
Let us hope that the language of Germany's latest
reply will. when published, indicate some awakening to
real conditions and to the further fact that the rule OF
performance and not of promise is the rule that hereafter
must govern.

THE DREAM OF CENTURIES

For centuries an outlet by the Dardanenes to the free
sea and the possession of Constantinop1e have been the
great goal of Russian ambition, and that ambition is
likely to be gratified if Russia can come out victor in
the great European war. Professor Milukoff, the liberal
leader, made the statement in the Russian duma the
other day that a definite agreement has been entered into
between the entente powers whereby the Dardaneles will
be given to Russia at the conclusion of the wa if the
Teutonic powers are beaten.
Of course, it still remains to beat the Teutons. But
Russia at least has a reasonable assurance that in case
the Teutons are beaten it will not lose its aspirations III
the diplomacy game which will follow the game of war.
The possession of the Dardanelles will be of immense
value to Russia. It's present ports are blocked by ice dur
ing many months of the year, and a clear path to the Med
iterranean would make Russia a world power commercial
ly, as it is in strength, population and resources.
Russia is fighting this spring with greater vigor and
effectiveness. Since last fall it has held the Germans and
Austrians firmly and has even gained ground in some
places. 1t has won notable victories over the Turkish
forces in Asia Minor and is moving steadily toward Con
stantinople. 1t has also sent troops to the western front
to assist the French. Evidently it is determined to do it's
full part toward bringing ultimate victory to the entente
side.
