WHAT THE ISSUE IS.

Alaska is not between Statehood and full Territorial form of govern ment." The question is whether we are going to have a full Territorial form of government pending State hood. ;,.
 The helplccsness of Juneau in the face of her need for school build ing and an adequate water system in dicates very clearly the handicap to progress that is resulting from the limited. form of Territorial govern ment which we now have. What are we going to do in growing Alaska be- fore Statehood comes? Are we to continue to let Federal officials man age the schools? Are we to continue to forfeit the proceeds of our forests In Southeastern Alaska? Are we to be forced to continue patchwork in our municipal development OH ac- count of the restrictions which make 1t impossible to distribute the pay ment for municipal works of various kinds over a period of several years? Are we to continue to permit Federal authority to fix the amount and col lect and expend large portion of our taxes? Are we to continue to permit the Federal game laws to stand? fire we to have nothing to say regarding the fisheries? Are we to continue to permit the Federal government tc do our policing, including the regulation of the liquor traffic? Or areewe to ex- ercise these powers and other pow CTS that other Territories have en- joyed pending Statehood?
 That is the question before the people. There are none but that rec ognize that Alaskan destiny must be Statehood, but what are we going to do before Congress will grant State hood to such portion or portions of Alaska as shall. in the opinion of Congress, qualify for it?
 Some of the press and leading peo- ole of Southeastern Alaska desire separation and Statehood for So "r eastern Alaska. Anyone with any knowledge on the subject knows that Congress would not grant such re- quest until there has been further development here. Others want a di- vision of Alaska with the First and Third divisions united in one great commonwealth. Many others believe that the great unorganized Arctic country should be eliminated from our Territory for governmental reas- ons. So far the Empire has not hear a single informed resident of the I er- ritory, aside from Wickersham poli- ticians who have the temerity to sug- gest that the whole of the 50U.00t square miles of this territory should he created into single state
 What are we going to do before these question are settled? Are we going to have full Territorial f'rm of government" or are we going to have our present government?
 It is time to quit making this ':nes tion a football for politics and get down to business. The business men and progressive citizens generally want a full Territorial form of sov- ernment, and have been asking fpr it for several years. They would have had it long ago if the Delegate had not been opposed to self-government for Alaska. They know that the need for 1t is pressing constant need.-Junire Empire.
 The Empire has expressed the needs of the Territory clearly and sue cintly. Alaska can never expect to receive any benefits from Congress until our Delegate quits playing at with tho noNnln He

RUSSIAN LOSS IS
6, 100000 MEN
This is Estimate of AuStrO-
Hungarian Staff-YOung
Officer Lead legiOnS.

VIENNA. May I6.-The total
losses of the Russian armies since
the beginning of the war are esti-
mated at nearly 6.oo0.0 900 man by
the experts OF the Austro-Hunsarion
general staff
According 20 statistics published
here the Russians had lost 5.400. 900
men on Dec. 81. 1915. Their losses
since then in the New Years battle
on the Austrian front and durine
their ilI-starred offensive aSains. the
armies Of Hindenburg in the nos q.
are figured at more than 100000.
on Jan. 1, 1916. only one-third ~
the IS classes of the Russian field
army at the beginning OF the war
was still at the front
Official reports show that duriug
the last year 1900, 600 men and 1885,
600 officers were killed, while l.
$4,000 men and 100000 officers
We're permanently disabled.
The number of prisoners taken
10y the German and Austro-H Hun
garian armies in 1915 was 100000
so that the total Russian losses
during 1915 amount 10 100000
men and about $4,000 officers.
Comedies 1.OOO. 900 Loss.
To these figures must he added
the losses during the first five
months of the war. ON Jan. 6, 1915,
the Paris "Matin" conceded that the
Russians had lost 100000 officers
and men up 10 Dec. 81, 1914.
Since Jan I, 1915, the Car has
raised about 100000 new troops
and numerically his army is almost
AZ strong as originally. But its ef-
fectiveness has been reduced at
least so per cent. and has very few
capable officers left.
All of the fresh troops coming 10
the front are poorly trained and in
sufficiently armed.
The lack of officers becomes more
apparent with every new battle. as
whole Russian battalions and even
regiments are led by non-commis-
stoned officers or youthful heuten-
ants who have themselves been
train cd only a few months and are
rot able TO direct even a company
properly.
