THE RUSSIAN EarIGRANT.

oh, Russia, Mother of US all,
We turn to you today;
In silent wondering and awe
We can but dream and pray.
In long pursuit of Freedoms peace
We crossed the dreaded sea,
In misery, In hope, in fear
And now, today, you're free!
Gone lis the Jewish Settlement,
The Pale where he must stay;
While for the Finlander and Pole
Hope rises new today.
And with the exiles' homing cry
Our pulses leap and strain,
AS fifty thousand turn their steps
Back from Siberia's plain.
Oh Russia, Mother of us all,
Thou art freeborn today;
In wonderment at what ii brings
We turn to thee and pray.

tourists, the Valdez Miner says:
 "A large number of tourists, going inside by the river route, took advan- ;aSe of the auto service last sum mer to make the trip to the coast overland, and without exception they Wee mos. enthusiastic over the trip.
 "In addition to it's scenecy it lasses through country where moose sleep, goats, bears, ptarmigan and grouse are abundant; where the angler may find trout streams :he like of which he never dreamed, and gray ling fishing unsurpassed anywhere on earth. As a pleasure trip, if the tour is. brings his own outo, there is noth- ing in the world that can surpass il. During the summer and fall months the climate is ideal. After the coast range is passed there is little or no rain, there are roadhouses in plenty, and a camp may be made almost anywhere. If the tourist does no: desire to bring machine, one can be obtained with driver and guide at reasonable prices. No better va cation trip can be made, none afford ing such a variety of pleasures, as the ride from Valdez to the Tanana metropolis, and the indications are that next summer will see hundreds of people taking advantage of the opportunity to get a maximum of en- joyment at a minimum of expense"
 The construction of the government railway is inducing road building for feeders The road commission is ask ing a yearly appropriation from con- gross of $500,000 for the next few years, which with appropriations from the Alaska fund, will greatly aid in getting business for he rail line, furnish attractive cross country trips to tourists, and facilitate local busi- ness.--P.-I.

Bri- tain Hipped in the bud by the elmin- ation of the czar and his pro- German camarilla; the persistent nibbling of the allies on the western front; the serious interna, condition of the cen tral powers in regard to food supplies; the very evident discontent of the new Emperor Karl of Austria at the con- dition of virtual yassilage to Ger | many demonstrated by his having replaced all the pro- German ministers who had been in control since the beginning of the war, and were re- sponsible for drafting the ultimatum to SerYia in July, 1914, with men of Czech learnings opposed to German dominance; and finally the knowledge that der tag on the western iron.
  inevitably drawing near; these were the factors that compelled Germany to play her last card of ruthless sub marine warfare" and defy the world thinking that if by these means she could seriously cripple England be- fore the United States resented the affroHt that walks thus hurled in her face by active participation, another leace proposition still favorable 10 ing :he whole of 1916 Germany was on the defensive on her main fronts, and the successful incursion into Wal lachia did not materially alter the position of affairs.
 All efforts to break the deadlock on The western front had proved fer tile, and the Verdun recoup by the French, had @ very disheartening ef- feet on .he morale of the troops that had been promised an early victory, ahi'e the small results gained from the conquest of Roumania, which had been exploited to the German people as the decisive factor m .he war both economic and military must have had a very disheartenlHg effect on the civil population.

ALASKA GOOD ROADS.

The great northern territory is be- ginning a campaign for tourists in it's own behalf The Valdez chamber of commerce has recently issued a book let descriptive of the trip over .he Valdez Fairbanks military road, now improved to the extent that automo- piles are able to accomplish a more than 30O-mile journey from the coast to the interior in two days.
 The Alaska road commission has constructed and maintains 990 miles of wagon road, 629 miles of winter s'ed roads and 2,2lO miles of trails Approximately $S,ioO,OOO has been ex- pended on Alaska highways.

OUR AID TO BELGIUM.

The amount of pride which the peo- pie of this country take in the con- tribu:ions which they have made for the suffering Belgians is dispropor- tionately greater than the contribu- tions themselves.
 Three fifths of all of the purchases for the relief of the Belgans have been made in the United States, and the amour. of money expended here for the purchase of supplies for this purpose has reached $15O,OO0.000 It is est;mated that the profits to the United States on these sales have amolnted to SEQ, ,HOl while -rr ancunt of all of the American con- trlhutionS for the relief of Belgium has heen l ut sJ.n0O,OO0. It is not a record to loast of, at least to the zx,.u. tbat loasting has been done.
 The largest contributions to be credited to this country are the ser vices of the men who have headed the relief commission and who have devoted extraordinary talents for or ganlzation and administration to the task of distributing the relief funds. The work done by these men has

warfare neither delayed nor in any way hampered the long promised drive, and now with no prospect of victory, with the entrance of the Uni- ted states the internal condition of the central empires is so bad tha. thc whole hearted support of the peo- pie can no longer be counted upon How bad things are, we have no means of knowing, but reports from reliable sources indicate that great change for the worse has taken place in the last two months.
 Munich dispatches through neutral sources state that ;he substitution of the house of Wittlosbach-the Bavar- ian royal house-for that of Hohen zollern is advisable if German in.cg- rity is to be maintained.
 Can Germany promise her people any gain on the eastern front? A regenerated Russia, with troops know
 ing that they are fighting not only against an enemy who has invaded their soil but for government which has given them a new freedom, will surely give an accounting worthy of such cause, for they must surely know tht a German victory would mean the restoration of the cZar and autocracy. No people ever had more to fight for, and m all probability the Russians will appreciate this and demonstrate their wonderful national capa bilities. On the eastern front little can be gained by Germany that would have any bearing on the situa- tioa, while a Russian offensive, that may be looked for at an early date, will, show her incapable of maintain ing her assumed role of conqueror.
 Blu: Germny is not beaten, and if her war lords can continue to delude the German people, she can fight with her back to the wall for a long time, thought the ultimate issue is inevita- be and the longer the e-awakening of Teuton democracy from the torpor of Prussian au.ocracy is delayed the worse for this misguided nation ed ucated to fanatic faith in mllitaristic omnipotenee.

been a worlds wonder. The fact that they were Americans has fixed in the minds of the Belgians and largely i1 .he minds of Americans the idea that it was the United States which was doing the relief work, while the truth is that our contributions have been infinitely smaller than those made by England or by the Belgian people countries. The record in that respect hes with New Zeland, where the Bel gian contributions foot up to SIPS per capita, as compared with 9 cents apiece for the people of the United Statcs.-P.-I.
