New York.-"American business
possibilities in Russia during the war
have been large. After the war
even under an autocracy. they would
have been very great. After the war
in a democratic Russia, they will be
simply enormous!
1T depends entirely upon what
wisdom. foresight and energy Ameri-
can business men display. Democra-
tic Russia, with freedom for the
energies of the people. will be
much in sympathy with our republic,
and present many parallels TO the
United States"
The speaker was Edward c. Por-

american Russian chamber OF COM
merce. organized a year ago by
American business men TO work in
close relations with the Russian
American chamber OF commerce of
Moscow, which, in turn. has close
connections with all leading Russian
cities.
In speaking OF Russia" said Por-
ter. you find yourself continually
making comparisons with the United
States. For instance. when Russia
begins to have the full development
she will undoubtedly enjoy now,
she will present many of the pro-
blems OF our own pioneer west.
she has boundless prairies await
ing cultivation. boundless forests
from which to cut timber, unlimited
mineral resources awaiting develop

I'VE Americans mastered all these
things in our own west. and our
American business men have a

Russia. The chief way TO do this s
to supply the capital needed for
Russian development
Europe is going to need six or
seven times as much lumber in the
period OF reconstruction after the
war as il did before the war. Rus
sia. with a timber area as great as
that of the United States and
Canada combined, can supply the
lumber: we can supply the ma
chinery and the money.

NOTORIOUS MURDERER
 SAWS WAY OUT OF PRISON
 AND IS KILLED BY FARMER

JUNEAU, April l6.-Edward krause, under sentence of death who escaped last Thursday from the local federal jail, was killed yesterday afternoon at Doty cove, Ad- miralty island sixteen miles from Juneau by Albert Franzen, formerly of Nome, who has 8 homestead at that place.
 Krause was forced to go ashore because of lack of food, and approached the house of Franzen, who covered him with gun and asked him if he were krause. The latter admitted his identity and started to run behind the house. Franzen shot twice. One bullet penetrated the body just over the heart, and the second struck the fugl- tive in the head, over the left eye.
 Krause was not armed, and the fact that he had no food shows that he had no ac- complices in his escape. A case knife with nicked edges found on the body shows the method he used in cutting the bars of the jail.
