COMMUNICATED.

To the Editor of the Industrial Worker:
 7 Dear Sir:-I read an article in
 your paper saying that very few of
 the Alaska insane recover. I was committed there and I want to tell you the reason why there don't more recover
 There are approximately two
 hundred and eight patients, or more
 correctly prisoners, at Morningside
 Hospital divided into two rooms.
 The only persons who have any
 chance to go out doors are perhaps a dozen that chop wood and work in the gGrlen. Tho most horrible part of it is tho dining room. They are all herded thcre together: h. dians, negroes. Chiramen, Esqu- maux, Japanese, white mon and
 women, sane and insane, and some (ncar gone from disoaGe. There is no sugar, milk or butter or the table only black molcsscs. In the morning therc is rolled oats and potatoes and the potatoes are near ly always sour. They novor had a change all the time I was there, except when there waG few beans
 CT some. cod fish left from supper and some kind of stuff they called coffee I think it was old coffee grounds boiled over and over. At
 lunch there was tho same kind Of stew three times a week, made of liver, carrots turnips and sometimes
 little meat in it, and bread and
 water twice week, some kinds of old soft fish, and bread. The other two days we had beans and cabb-
 age.
 There was a man with his nose
 nearly gone from disease at the
 table I eat at, and the only way l could eat was to turn my back to
 him. He was the most terrible
 sight I ever caw. I made kick
 and they bandaged it up, and he
 would come down to the table with
 the bandage soaked in blood and use the same spoon to dioh out the
 same food that there was that he
 ate and would stick hands in the
 stew and everything else.
 Dinner wasn't quite so bad
 There was generally beans, a lit
 tie dried fruit, bread and tea. The
 air on cloudy night made it worse than the steerage on a big ship that is crowded, and it was made
 still worse from foul food and bad
 stomachs. The strong room is
 worse than any hog pen. There
 are bed bugs infest it and it is un- l fit for human beings.
 It is run by pair of heartless
 scounlrels named Ldcke and Coe
 understand they got $27.50 fol | each victim. They are paid the same for the sane as the insane

The article In question is remarkable.
for the fact that it was evidently writ
ten by person OF, none or little mill
tary experience, and that it passed the
Russian military censors.
While the Hungarian
troops have thoroughly utilized the
long spell finaction in Russiatto for
tify their lines to an unheard.of de-
gree, the Austro.H Hungarian troops
have done likewise on the Italian front
in the face of an almost continual on
slaught by the Italian forces. When
the war with Italy broke out. the pres
emit Austro-Hungarian front, contrary
to what has been said, was not prepar'
ed for the position war" which has
since then obtained there. The result
Of this was, that, owing to the rock
surface OF the terrain which had to be
chosen. and because of the Italian ar.
tillery superiority, the Austro: Hunga-
rian troops had hard time of It. It
was impossible to dig trenches and
bomb proofs with the pick and spade.
Rock drills and dynamite had to be
used.
But today the Austro.Hungariaps are
declared to be well entrenched and
housed along the entire front. Where
water was hard to get reservoirs and
ducts were established. Everywhere
field railroads we're laid out--7ftl one
Isonzo sector over 1875 miles long.
Steep grades were conquered by

have been made accessible by building
elevators. Up to December /, 1916,
1927 bridges had been built. What has
been done to make the troops comfort
able is shown by the use of 200 rail-
road carloads Of lumber in a single
month last fall.
Meanwhile, barbed wire entangle-
ments and other Instructions have
hcen laid out on an unprecedented
scale. Land mines have been laid, In
fact nothing tending to give the Aus

Brother Ground Hog Is rapidly losing
his reputation for truth and veractty.
In this respect he resembles many
more Of us.

not unwelcome, her sex has often set
the example.

great amount of gossip and the sup

greater than the demand.
A wicked wit declares that IL Con-
gress passed a law compelling every
