QUITS THE MOON E0R BAROMETER:
 IS SEEKING HOPE

On every side today the people are turning from the moon as an arbiter of the weather and Hooking toward the scientific side of the matter, as represented by the baro- meter. There Is an especially fine instrument of this class hanging in Johnny Kelly's office at the Northern Commercial company. According to MT. Kelly, who has kept track of it's variations during most of the cold spells during late years. there is no indication of any immediate change for the better, at least not within the next eighteen hours. Com parison of this barometer with three others shows that they record the same pressure.
 According to the reports re$eived from all over the country, the Same conditions prevail From Nome comes an advice that it is 40 degrees be- low zero with gale Iaging. The lowest temperature reported is at Bircles, where the mercury stood at 72 below. In the south from Copper Center to Valdez the figures run from zero to AZ below, with a high north wind blowing.
 The fuel situation here is practi cally unchanged, the wood piles be- ing gradually consumed and no pros poets for replenishing them under existing conditions, the weather still being too cold for the teams to make a trip any distance after wood. Lots of familie1 are reported to have just about enough wood to tide them over two days more. Most of the hotels having steam heat. it will be necessary for those who exhaust their fuel supply to move there un- til the weather moderates.

1 coalition cabinet was formed, anc when it was charged that Lort Kitchener the secretary of state fu war, had failed to supply the arm with sufficient guns and ammunition It was agreed that the occasion calico for one of the strongest men il England to awaken the country |, the paramount necessity of provid ing war materials on a huge scale. The battle of Neuye Chapelle," as Lloyd-George said, had consumel more ammunition than was used il the whole Boer war"
 The manner in which Lloyd -Georgt tackled this new problem was typi cal of his energetic career. He hur- ried the passage through parliamen, gave the government broad powers of control over all factories that were making or capable of making war munition- The bill made strikes and lockouts illegal, gave power tC fine "slackers." limited the profits of employers, and provided for (, volunteer army of workers who should pledge themselves to g. wherever the government required them to work in the factories.
 EXasperated by the slowness witt which workers rallied to the fac tories, Lloyd-George gave the labo. leaders ju~t seven days in which to make good their promise of getting sufficient men to man the plants for maximum production. During tn, week the newspapers all over the United Kingdom were flooded witt full page advertisements, and the labor leaders turned town halls throughout the country into recruit ing offices, with the result that wo men as well as men workers enlist ed, in even greater numbers than were nece> sary, and the munition problem was soon solved.
 Lloyd George is one of those whc found intoXication to be serious handicap in maintaining efficiency al the munitions plants. and it was through his vigorous handling of the situation that new legislative restric tions on liquor sale were put into effect.
 His latest portfolio is the premier ship. What his policy as premier will be, and it's success, remain to be seen.
