SURVEY IN ALASKA
Will Be Continued This Year BY a Dozen
Parties.

1 In accordance with plans approved by
Secretary of the Interior Lane, the in
vestigation Of the mineral resources of
Alaska by the geological survey will be
continued this year by IL parties. Con.
gress has recognized the necessity of pre-
pairing in advance for the survey of this
difficult field by including the appropri-
alton for its continuation in the urgent
deficiency act, which was approved on
February %. This prompt action makes
it possible to plan the work in advance
of the opening of the field season and to
carry out the plans efficiently and eco
nomically.
The work to be done this year includes
a detailed survey of the region tributary
of Juneau, which is the most important
quartz camp in Alaska. A continuation
of the study of the mineral resources or
the Ketehilan district, where there are
important gold and copper mines, is also
planned. The investigation of the water
powers of southeastern Alaska will also
be continued. Only one party will be
employed in the Copper river region Two
parties will work in Prince William
sound.
-Four parties will make surveys in the
region directly or indirectly tributary to
the government railroad under construc-
ton. One of them will study the new
Toloyana placer district and also make
some supplementary Investigations of
the Fairbanks lode district. The geolog-
list of this party viii later visit the
Nome district. A detailed geologic sur
vey will be made of the western part of
the Nenana coal field, which is adjacent
to the route of the government railroad
Two other parties will be employed in
carrying reconnaissance surveys west
ward from the railroad route to the Kan
tishna placer and lode district. 1t is also
proposed to make surveys of the Lowell
Yukon, including the Marshall placer
district.

An X-ray examination at the hospital

to be a chip of steel but the strongest
magnets at the office of DIR. Byers in
Montreal failed to move it. so strongly
is it lodged Acting on the advice OF
the specialist, Mr.. Bemis win not have
the eye operated on until after few
weeks of observation, for the eye ut
present is giving him little trouble and
it is likely that an operation will not
be necessary. The sight of the eye,
though somewhat impaired, is not total

Direct Primaries.

BY last weeks vote, Vermonters will
not have to wait long to put the direct
primary idea into actual experience. The
first chance will come May l6, when the
delegates to the national convention will
be chosen.
Under the law the official ballots must
be prepared at least 10 days before the
primary, the names of all candidates be.
ing printed on one ballot, arranged in
columns by political parties, each col
umn to be headed by the name of the
party. Each voter is expected to con
fine his marks to the column of the party
of which he is member. Indeed If a
ballot has been marked in the column
of more than one party ii is thrown out
as defective. The ballot gives every
voter opportunity to designate his pref
erence for presidential candidate. Any
candidate for presidential nomination
who secures petition of 500 voters may
have his name printed on the ballot.
We believe the voters of the state viii
welcome the opportunity to express first
hand their preference for president.
Thus early in the season, this new
plan has its disadvantages, especially at
this time, when more than ever before.
it seems, the Kaleidoscope of public opin-
ion is constantly and quickly changing
and men are made and measures be-
come important over night.

Constantinople. Jan. / (via Amstef-

view would have swayed the polls.
II does not follow that Lloyd George
would have become Prime Minister, or,
in present circumstances. would wish
TO be. He sees too clearly It is difficult
/, for the head Of the government to keep
an oversight Of the whole business of
administration and at the same time
concentrate effectively on the direction
of the war For that reason we might
possibly have had something on the
model Of the famous combination be-
tween the Duke Of Newcastle and Pitt,
or an improvement on that example.
Lord Ktchner, who is more a man
Of affairs and less purely and simply
a soldier than is generally imagined,
might have become Premier, or even
Lord Derby, with Lloyd George IN
either case as leader Of the House of
Commons, the nation and the war.
In any event, a very remarkable and
masterful administration would have
been formed. Bonar Law, as Unionist
leader. would have had high place in
it, probably as Chancellor OF the EX-
chequer, and Austen Chamberlain
might have left the India Office for his
great fathers familiar chair at the
Colonial Office Sir Edward Carson
would certainly have been member,
for he is a real strong man and not
a sham strong man. In spite of past
differences Major Churchill would
doubtless have been recalled from the
trenches and Lord Fisher to the navy.
The war council would have been re-
constructed with single view to more
active. daring and consistent manage
ment of the entire struggle by land
and sea.
Conventional amateurs in criticism
Of our policies will tell you that Great
Britain has no alternative TO the
present government. Do not listen TO
them. We are by no means so poor
in reserves of personality or so hide
bound by pre-war traditions.
These were some of the speculatons
among the better informed, in view
Of the chances of clean split in the
Cabinet when IL came to The pinch OF
CONSUMPTION. Wise men, nevertheless
however earnest in their respective
opinions, did not want 20 swap horses
when crossing the stream.
Happily, all changes so startling
have been averted by Asquith's dexter
ity and judgment in handling the po-
litical situation. Just when jealous
men say he will never move forward:
ne does move The danger was not. or
course, that he would squash his spe-
cifc pledge to call up the single men
first. but that he might have consented
to proposals for delaying enforcement
indefinitely. in the uncertain hope that
voluntaryism might bring up the lag

Berlin, Jan. 1.-The article in the

give Germany's peace conditions, a
summary of which was circulated by
the Wolf Bureau. attracted, as was ex-

the provinces such important organs as
the "Koelnische Zeitung," the Frank

Of the article, printing it prominently.
