PEACE TALK IN EUROPE

There may be some truth in the report that comes from Berlin by way of London. that negotiations look ing toward peace in Europe have already assumed considerable proportions. It may be taken for grant ei ;hat all Europe is tired and sick of the conflict ana none os the nations an ttose engaged in actual warfare. Adyices rom Berlin are Jo the effect that Germany wishes peace for business req sons. Since her foreign commercial business has been completely destroyed from practically the mo- ment that war was declared there be little doubt for that reason alone aat Germany would welcome the cessation Of war: but Germany has other equally weghty reasons besides those which purely ecCno- mic The drain on Ter resources hes been terrific the desoaton of her people has been terrific; and. furthermore with the war practically stalemate. Germany probably a better position to treat for peace now than she will be year hence should the war continue that long.
 The Allies. too are baIly worn. and though they are perhaps. in better condition economically to continue the combat indefinitely. signs have been ac- cumula,iug quite rapidly which indccte a state of un- rest among the several allied nations and which seem Go convey the idea tha they. too. will not turn a deaf ear Go peace oyertures and this too notwith- standing their oit-repeated declarations trat even thought ot peace would be entertained by them severaly or collectively until Germany was destroyed. t may be that the thought has been gradually pressed home that the destruction Of Germany presents un- surmouutable task Great Britain is in the throes ot minsteral crisis. and this fact indicates surely, if indicates anything that her people not sat- isfed with the way the Asquith ministry has con ducted the war and it's lack of substantial achieve men,s The cold fact Of the matter is that not only Europe is tired Of the senseless conflict. but the whole civilized world as well. This statement is shared by ,he peoples of the belgerent countries. and among neutral nations the belief is gaining rapid Iy indeed. that concerted action should be taken to end the European holocaust

A NEW ALASKA
lnuluth Heraldl

tDulUtQ tteIdAu.l
 Hidden away in the more intensely interesting news dispatches telling of the results of the election there was on Wednesday brief story from Alaska that is strikngy significant of what may be expected in that country.
 hundred homesteaders have arrived and settled in the section of country through which the United States government building it's railroad that these settlers are prospering, and that indications favor rapid n' crease of this class of newcomers.
 Think of that! Homesteade7s going to Alaska, instead of gold hunters. It opens an entirely new conception of that country. I that instead Of stripping an unwilling land of its sole wealth and then abandoning it. men are finding that there is a continuous wealth in the agricultural possibilities Of the country. and going there to cultivate 1t and to make it continuously richer and more profitable. lt gives notion of a new Alaska of vastly different style from that of former days.
 Perhaps too there is another significance in this movement Perhaps it is an indication that men are not today as iusanely anxious for sudden wealth as they were in the 49 and Yukon days. but are better satisfied to be industrious and prosperous with cer- tainty. without taking the risks and undergoing the hcrdshps of the usually disappointed gold hunter Perhaps.
 Alaska has yielded up many millions in gold; now it may begin to yield more millions in even more valuable products.

A PACIFIC COAST MINING CENTER
Seattle Times)


 Secretary Lane. by deciding to place one of the federal mining and metallurgical experiment stations at the University of Washington, has recognized m a practical manner Seattles position as Pacuc Coast center for this industry.
 Circumstances amply sustain the judgment or tne Secretary and justify his action in the matter rms city is the natural headquarters for the big companies operating in Alaska and also for many Of the con cerns developing properties in the Pacific Northwest. Here the largest supply of labor and the best mar ket in which purchase supplies.
 In point of fact the mining interests centered at Seattle have been steadily increased in number ana importance Ten years hence, there will be several o these concerns n the city where there is one nov" The opening up Alaska and the utilization or ocaI fuel in Territorial plants unquesuona0le VIII De re- sponsibe for the increase in mining activity m the Northland. which will be fayorably felt here
 Furthermore this city seems destined 10 become the biggest factor in the foreign metal trade on the American Pacific Copper from South America already is coming here to be refined. In time Bolivian tn also may be smelted Puget Sound. Whenever the United States feels constrained to call upon the vast mineral resources of Asia these commodities natural ly will be handled local wharyes
 The mining and metallurgcal institution at the University of Washington is very likely to have the most varied experience of any in the United States for it is likely to be consulted more by operators outside continental America than by those with prop critics inside the counryS boundaries lt would not be at all surprising if the local station proved to be most important factor in Building up Americas future foreign mining industry.

BERLIN, Feb. 11.-(by wireless to Sayville). The Austrian official com munication today says:

 "On the eastern front the enemy g reconnoitering troops continue their activity on Archduke Jos Ferdinand s front They have been everywhere repulsed.'

The newspaper specifies two American ships. the Mancnuria and the Henry Smith, from which it says civilians were taken by the British and three American vessels, the Carolina, Goa : mo and San Juan, from which civil ians were removed by French war craft It does not, however. refer t1 the successful protests of the Ameri- can government with regard to the three last named steamers.

NatlNe element was in complete con- trol of the meeting and voted down all radical suggestions. Leaders of the meeting said 750 Seward laborers were present.
 A secret committee of thirty men was appointed to spread the strike call among the construction gangs
 The formation of the union and the call for a general strike are the result of the walkout Sunday of six ty track layers working at Peters branch of the government railroad. The track layers demanded fifty cents an hour instead of 37 1-2 cents paid under the existing scale.
 Leaders of the strike movement declared that 1,5OO men attended the meeting at Anchorage at which the new union was formed. The meeting lasted from 8 o'clock Tuesday night until o'clock Wednesday morning, when organization of the union was completed with the election of Jack Sutherland as president and A. J. Ross as secretary
 A. J. Wendeler. president of the Anchorage chamber of commerce. ad- dressed the meeting, urging modera- tion on the part of the laborers. Lieutenant Frederick Mears, |. s. A, of the Alaska engineering cOmmis- sion declined to make any statement regarding the strike.
 Other officials of the Alaska en- gineering commission said, however, that the minimum wage of 8 cents an hour with an hour day paid common labOrerS by the govern ment, was much higher than the scale paid during the construction of the Alaska Northern by private cap ital several years ago when com mon laborers were paid 7 cents an hour with a ten hour day

 Under the heading the scandal of the war relief funds" the Daily Chronicle today urges the government to take control of and prevent waste in unauthorized collections.
 over fifty Belgian relief funds have been opened in England" says the Daily Chronicle and we are sat
 isfied after a careful investiga tion that many of them are conducted on exceedingly urbusinesslike lines Some of the Belgian relief funds are be-
 yond all reproaCh. They are admir- ably managed and they are admins
 tered by men and women who give their services gratiously and whose devotion has in it sublime quality.
 "The finest and foremost is the commission for relief in Belgium This is the main conduit pipe through
 which the splendid generosity of the
 American people flows. No commen- cation can be too warm for it's mag nificent work-as noble a piece Of practical philanthropy as ever was recorded"
 After recounting how various funds
 are conducted inefficiently, the Daily | Chronicle says:
 We beg the government to act | without delay. Action is necessary
 no less in Belgian interests than those
 of the British subscribers. The cause of Belgium, as noble as ever appealed
 to the generous instincts of our peo- l plc is not served by indiscriminate appeals. some of them on behalf of societies which are not really needed and whose methods are slack ana slovenly."

DOING 0N NANYFR0NT IN
 EUROPEAN WAR

Except for the Artois region of France and the Volhynian and East Galician sections of the Russian line, 1 the inactivity that has prevailed for several days continues.
 The Italians and Austrians are keep ing up their artillery duels on the Aus tro-Italian front, despite the heavy i snoWs in the mountain regions, and here and there delivering infantry at tacks against each other but withoat appreciable result
 In Albania the Austro- -Hungarians have occupied Tirana, a short distance to the northeast of the Port of Duraz- 20, and also dominating heights in that region.
 Petrograd says the Russians in their operation against the Turks con- tinue to make progress and that all at tempts by the Ottomans to assume an offensive are being put down by the Russian fire. Bombardment of the Turkish positions on the Black Sea coast are being kept up by Russian torpedo craft On the other hand, COnStantinople asserts that in the fighting between the Turks and the British in Mesopotamia, the British attempted an advance from the right bank of the Tigris but were compelled to retreat to their old positions.
 Hard fighting still is in progress around Vimy where the French are endeavoring to recapture positions taken from them recently by the Ger mans. Berlin reports that four French attacks in this region have been put down and also that similar offensive with a like purpose to the south of the Somme resulted in failure.
 The French, however, have been ac- tive with thelr artillery at various points and have caused considerable damage to German positions
 In the Riga section of the Russian front artillery duels have been in progress. In Volhynia, the Russians have repulsed Teutonic counter attacks and to the northwest of Tarnopol have held strategic height despite an at tack by numerically superior forces of Austro- -HunSarians, according to Pet rograd.
 Official denial is made in London of a claim by Berlin that German tor pedo boats sank off the Dogger bank British cruiser and torpedoed another boat of this class The British denials indicate that it was one of four mine sweeping vessels that was sunk.
 The Belgium legation in London brands as untrue a report that Bel gium recently made peace proposals to Germany.
