That censorship is in force in Seattle is evl- dent by the absence of reports of daily occur rences in that city to the Alaskan papers.

part as follows:
in this hour of danger, in which
military absolutism is threatening
everyone, there are nations that have
forgotten old and new competitions
and have united to defeat this menace
to the common safety.
1--WE are in a more fortunate posi-
ton. Between the United States OF

been any cause Of conflict. This new
and closer union means for us a
greater bond of sympathy and solid
arity, added to those which already
linked us.
This long friendship without strife,
this union without mistrust, this
cloudless future are enhanced by the
fact that both Our peoples are at war
to defend the same ideals OF humanity

The figures for Jail inmates and ar

similar cases during the correspond
ing month this year.
According to city police records for

charged with drunkenness. For the
same month this year 8s6 were ar
