CUSTOM maintains a firmer grip upon the European nations than it does upon the people of the United States. Tradition breeds conserva- tism. The ancient rites which are a part of the funeral services for the
 late monarch of Austria-Hungary il- lustrate the point. AS the body of the dead emperor was carried thru the streets of Vienna from the palace to the chapel its way was lighted with fiickering torches and it was "prc- ceded by score of equerries with lanterns" to quote the correspOr- dent, whose flames were hard to keep alive in the gusts of wind sweeping over the wet pavements." " We have a notion that if an elabo- rate ceremonial were to be carried out in the United States the latest system of electric lighting would be used and the whole spectacle would have something of an atmosphere of modernity. But the ancient forms in the European countries are likely to prevail so long as their systems of government endure.

GREECE has again appealed to neutrals against the "coercions'' which are being employed by the en- tente allies in their dealings with the Hellenic government; Austria-Hun- gary has protested against the act of the allies in forcing the Teutonic ministers to leave Athens; Germany has refused to recognize Venizelcs' declaration of war as representing any constituted power--and near = while, the allies have been getting just what they started out to get iu Greece. There is haunting remin- der of the German rape of Belgium in these transactions with reference to Greece.

LIBERALIsM has won a notable

LIBERALISM has won a notable victory in Russia in forcing the ap- pointment of g premier who repre- sents the people rather than the bu- feaucracy. According to a Petrograd 6ispatch-whict passed the vigilant Russian censors--"it is almost inl- possible to overestimate not only the political but the national significance of the duma victory, since for the first time in history Russian publ opinion is considered to have tri- umphed over influences which were regarded as antagonistic to good government" Even the press, which is under bureaucratic domination, greets the appointment of liberal premier as a forward step. Such an event as this may be of greater sig nificance than is attached to it at a time when the world is in upheaval. It may be the first rumbling of an orderly chance in Russia that will have an important bearing on the worlds future.

GET AFTER THE INDUSTRIES.

IF VALDEZ wants to do anything in the commercial or industrial line she should get busy. Seward. Al chorage and Cordova are all going ahead in industrial conditions, while Valdez is going back. To secure in dustries in a city locations and cx- emptions from taxes for a stated pe- riod must be given. In many in- stances a substantial bonus is requir- ed, contingent upon the erection of buildings or certain work done by in- vestors. We believe that when a man comes to our city with propo sition intended to promote a sub- stantial payroll, that he should be encouraged, consulted, and even kid mapped, if necessary, to secure his plant. One case in point occurred re- gently. MT. F. A. Twitchell, a can- neryman and mining man of more than ordinary prominence, has been Investigating sites for the establish ment of a halibut packing and ship ping plant. Seward and Cordova have both made him liberal proposi tions. We have better harbor than either of the above cities; ice in in- oxhaustible quantities for the taking out of the water, and good wharv,s and buildings suitable for the pur- rose The haul is few miles longer hut the superior harbor facilities should overcome this disadvantage. as halibut boat could come into Prince William Sound at any time and find good docking accommoda- tons, no matter how hard gaie was blowing, which would be an impos sibility at Seward. Our rate of taxes is too high to ever hope for an indus try to come to our city; but these could be exempted CT Iebated if our citizens so wished. With our great glaciers extending to the bay in this vicinity, and with a fine harbor and good wharves this should be an ideal port for shipping fresh fish. The coming year will see many new in- dustries established in Alaska, and Valdez should endeavor to secure share of them.

THE RAPE OF GREECE.

THE situation in Greece is not i'm proving with time. The faction head ed by M. venizelos, former premier, which set up a provisional govern ment at Crete, backed by the Allie. has declared war on Bulgaria ard Germany. This faction, however, does not represent the Greek government of which King Constantine is head. Constantine has given the allies as- Isurances of his benevolent neutral ity," and indeed, of his intention to
 join them at the psychological time. if he is forced to, but he considers that time has not arrived. Mean
 while the entente allies have grahtot; the fleet, the post offices, the arms and munitions, and whatever author ity the royal government possesses in Greece and has formally recognized the Venizelos regime. The former premier is not in open rebellion against the king and says he is ready any any time to dissolve the provi- sional government when King Con- stantine intervenes against Bulgaria. Public opinion in Greece is divided but seems to be generally in favor of war. The neutrality" which has been "enjoyed" by Greece has been such as to leave little room for doubt that Constantinople would have farcd better-and certainly he would have suffered less humiliation-by casting his lot with one nation or the other shortly after the war began, ard be- fore Bulgaria's hat was shied into ring.

should be protected"
1.-THE birds are useful to us in
many ways, and we should do all
we can to help protect them.
They protect the vegetables and
grain by taking the worms and
bugs, which would be very harm
ful.to us. 1t is said. that the robin
eats twice his own weight in in
sects, so we can see from that
what a great deal of good he does.
Birds are also very beautiful, and
we ought to like to see them much
better alive than dead or injured.
Some birds amuse and entertain
US by their singing, which is often
very beautiful, such as the canary
and the thrush. When a person
is sick in bed, he always likes to
hear something cheerful, and no.
thing isSmore SO than the song of
some wild bird; and it also helps
to Inake'a person we'll, for it di-
verts the mind from sickness, and
happiness aids health.
