On all ironts-western. eastern. the Balkans, the Caucasus the Italian and the Rumanian. winter has grpped the conendng armies and is holding them in their trenches. French and German are resting even at yerdun. and the give and take or the Riga sector has dwinded to nothing.

Spring is no, far away and all the winning and losing moves Of this last phase of the are not to be made in European waters and on the high seas.

It will be re. uembered that she launched her mighty attempt at the Verdun forts in February of last year
 It is apparent that the Allies are not to abandon Salonik and 1t may be that the winter preparations have made it possible for that Allied army to time an offensive at the samemoment that Italy will make a superhuman effort along the Goritza sector in effort to break through. envelop Trieste and start a drive toward Vienna. vulnerable of capitals of the Central Powers.

WHY THIS SECRECY?

(Ketchikan Progressiye.Mner)
 Hardly a week passes but what some ono will come into the office and buy mining location notices When the question is asked whether q discovery has been made or a location anticipated and other par ticulars that might be interesting to the public the answer is invariably the same, which is: "l don't care to say anything" And there you are.
 From the time of the rush Co Nome followed by the rush Fairbanks. the miners in there were more or less inclined to keep all discoveries secret Not to keep others from locating ground, but more TOT the purpose of preventing stampedes which never failed furnish much hardships and dsappointments Men preferred keep the discoveries to themselves; at least from the general public. But here in South. eastern Alaska a stampede would not mean hardship Disappointment perhaps, but we are exposed to that We believe the country would be developed sOonr if new locations made known It would have the tendency of bringing real prospecors who would soon find out whether there is something in the country or
 It is said that there are fifty good pros. poets in the vicinity of Ketchikan, although not over ten or fifteen generally known because of that secrecy If we have a prospect, let the world know of it and if develop 1t. let some one else do it. After all what good is ton of mineral if we cannot use it?
 There is q persistent report about town that the Ketchikan precinct is on the eve of the greatest mining activity in Alaska.

THE LOGICAL MAN

(St Louis RepubC)
 The statement by The Republics Washington cor respondent that the House seriously thinking about a compromise organization at the next session with Champ Clark for Speaker accords with a common sense view of the situation, if one assumes that neither side can gather strength for victory.
 The Speaker is the logical for the place. He is of the most popular men, in and out of Congress. that ever held the gave. He has observed every rule of fairness in his official conduct and has presided with such high ability that throughout his term of office serious criticism has been of fercd. If the Republicans should propose one of their own number as a compromise they would be confronted at once with family quarrel. With a clear majority they would probably elect James E. Mann Speaker, but 1t is notorius that faction in his party would be glad to beat him and that NIanns following would be dissatisfied with any oth CT candidate.

OUR FOOD WASTE

Secretary Houston's estimate that $7OOOOOOOO a year is wasted in American Htchns is not beyond belief though the strikes first as appalling. In a country with a population of 100,- 100000 the individual must take not to waste his share of that and may easily waste it with being aware that he wastes
 While it has frequently been said that the we'll tOdO American is responsible for food waste the statement is not altogether true. The recent in vestigatiOn of family expense made by the New York Board of Health showed that the poor make their food budgets eXtrayagantly In Chicago Jane Addams and her Hull House people made the same discovery and tried it.
 The trouble in this regard with the city poor is that they largely of foreign origin and have never learned how to buy in American markets. Edu. cation will accomplish much in this field for the people are willing enough to and frugal in their household management in the old country. What can be done with the wlfully wasteful Ameri- can is another matter. In Europe is teaching everybody how to save

SOCIALISTS AND MAILS

To some persons it may be surpris-
ing that there are men In Milwaukee

is the United States. not Germany;
who 40 not understand that. the Uni
ted States being at war with Ger
many, Milwaukee stands n must

must not oppose the United States by
~endeavoring to advance by. word or

However. the action of the postal
authorities in barring from the mails
a Socialist newspaper published in
Milwaukee did o surprise intelli-
gent men who know what war means.
who know what n nations duties and
powers are when it is waging war.
American Socialists. who have shown
n true sense of loyalty to their coun-
try, have withdrawn from the Social.
list party and have %repudiated its
organ. because party and paper have
shown themselves to be pro-German,
ever as against Socialism itself.
Many who have read what the paper
has said against the nations cause
and the prosecution of the war are
somewhat at II loss as to why the gov
ernment did not proceed against it
sooner. The explanation. Of course,
is thai the government has n million
or more urgent things on its hands
and cannot do all at once. When il
takes action. however. 1t takes ade-
Quate action.
The government talks little. but il
works overtime and it is keenly or

are under constant scrutiny. Much
is known about them and more is be-
ing learned. Exposure of them is
