NEWSPAPERS ARE
 ACQUIRING 'DRY"'LOoK Gastineau Channel Papers Took Lead in Disseminating Ad-
 tisements of Booze

One by one the Alaska news papers have been eliminating liquor and oarroom advertising in prepar- ation for January l, when under the territorial law 1t will be un- lawful to advertise liquor in the Ter ritory, even if a dealer or manufac- turer was so foolish as to spend money in a dry unit where there is no chance to make delivery.
 The two Juneau dailies eliminat- ed liquor advertiSi.f on June first, just before the vote on local option although both papers favored grant ing liquor licenses for the remainder of the year on the ground that the city chances demanded this revenue
 The Douglas Island News discon- tinued advertising of this character about the same time; also the Nome Industrial Worker, a paper controlled by the laborites.
 So far, with the exception of the Anchorage Times published in a dry unit and the Skagway Alaskan in another dry town, the press of AL aska accept liquor and barroom ad- Yertising. This is noticeably true Of the small weekly papers who derive large portion of their patronage from this class of adVer- tiSing.
 Notice was served on the Juneau papers by the postmaster last July that under the laws of Oregon and arlington papers containing liquor advertising could not be mailed in- to those states. This forced an issue of either printing a special edition for mail subscribers in those dry states or eliminating the liquor advertising. Investigation disclosed the returns from saloon advertising were small, and it was better business policy to cut it out; the liquor dealers being agree able, it was decided to accept no further liquor advertisements.

WHAT?

"Gsstinesu Channel Papers Took lead in Disseminating Advertise pents Of Booze"
 This Is. 8 sub mead on an articld which We reprint today from the Juneau Daily Dispatch, and while Ee do not look upon our action of
 continuing liquor ads as a mat .er Of great moment, still We claim 70 be among the first of the pa- pers in Alaska to throw out pay Ing liquor advertisement.
 On May 31, 1915, the Sksgway Daily Alaskan cancelled q contract with the Seattle Brewing and Malt Ing company, calling for S60 per year for advertising Rainier Beer. It was at this same time that the advertisement of the Board of Trade saloon in this city was also discon- sinued, and from that day forward, LhAre has not been a liquor ad7 7eritsement Of any nature whatso- ayer appear in the columns Of this paper.
 We would therefore request that Sdltor Russel makes a correction of his statement

Arrangements have been made for shipment on the United states army transport Crook of Matanuska turnips to Seattle, according to ar nouncement of Andrew Christensen, who is in charge of the land an0 industrial department of the Alas kan Engineering commission. The freight charge on the vegetables will be $7 a ton from Matanuska to Seattle, and this charge will cover the cost of transfer from rail to water here. Agreement to this mar keting scheme has been given by the two privately-owned stamship lines operating between this port and Pu- get sound. Their freight rate on turnips is something more than $SO a ton, and they realize thk figure is so high it would not permit the vegetable to enter the market in the states on a business basis. Be caus. they do not want to reduce the rate to figure that would make shipments feasible, they are willing that this commodity should be handled by the government trans port.
 "The Matanuska district said MT. Christensen, twill have a crop of two or three hundred tons Of turnips, rutabagas and petroWskls' Petrowski is a Russian turnip. This yield cannot be taken by the Iocal trade, and, accordingly, arrange ments have been made to market the surplus in the states. Some ot the vegetables in the sample shlp- ment that will go forward on the next sailing of the Crook will be sent to the military cantonment at American lake, near Tacoma. feel confident that no difficulty will be experienced in disposing of the vegetables.
 Alaska turnips are regarded in the markets in the states as & veg etable of superior quality to turnips raised in the states, and the north ern product ought to command higher price.
 "The last quotation on turnips in the Seattle markets showed they were selling at $40 ton. At this fgiure, the Matanuska crop, if it amounts to 300 tons-and think 1t will-wilI bring S12, 1000 on the out side market.
 This proposed turnip deal will be the first effort on any extensive scale, I believe, to sell in the states vegetables from southwestern Al aska.

HENRY FORD ON DELAY IN ES'

Under the circumstances his present point Of lew is interesting. He explains as follows:
 T cannot see that any great harm as come in waiting until now with pur war preparations. Things ave moved so fast in a mechanical 5ay since this war began that many hings that were new three years go are out of date now.

D'ANNUNZIO
QUOTES LINCOLN'S
WORDS OF PROPHECY

Rome. via Paris. April s.-Gabriele
D'Annunzio. the famous Italian poet,
who Is now serving at the front asa
c:ptain In the aviation corps, has is
sued the following statement in con-
n%cction with Americas entrance into
the war:
THE group Of stars on the great
republican banner has become a, CON
%stellation. a propitious sign to sailors,
armed and unarmed, and a spiritual
token for all nations fighting in a
righteous war. Italy salutes the glo-
rious spirit which has led the people
OF the American union to reconfirm
and reseal their pact with liberty.
Italy, alone among the allied ma
ions having the possibility to avoid
war and remain an inert spectator,
arose freely to arms, not so much for
the reconquest Of her heritage as for
the salvation of all that which, in the
centuries born of Rome, has repre-
sented the n%obleness Of freemen. She
armed herself, as the American ma
ton does today, for an ideal reason
and heroic claim. Her spontaneous
act, like that achieved today by the
people Of George Washington, has
the beauty Of sacrifice, offered to the
hopes Of mankind.
I'm this hope the American nation,
from North, South, East and West,
arises today to offer its accumulated
treasure, acknowledging in our cause
the finest cause for which men ever
fought. April IA is the anniversary Of
Lincoln's death.
From his sepulchre issued the
grand words which his sacred lips
pronounced in the cemetery of Get
tysburg on soil sanctified by the blood
Of combatants. Again we hear LIN
coins great prophecy: This nation,
under God. shall have a new birth Of
freedom"

MONARCHIAL S T
STRONGLY
Must Win the War "By any
Means" is Statement Of
Count Won Reventlow.

Copenhagen, April e.-Talk Of
peace. as reflected in the German
newspapers, is indefinite and uncer-
tain, although rumors Of impending
developments on this line appear to
attract more attention in Germany
and Austria than Americas entry in
to the war.
Premier Tisza Of Hungary in an
Easter article in a Budapest weekly
writes that he thinks he sees signs of
the dawn of peace on the eastern
horizon. though possibly milder con-
fagrations may flame up.
1.-The fortress walls Of our enemies
are beginning to show cracks" he
writes. THE events in Russia por-
tend similar developments elsewhere"
Evidentaly the premier had Italy in
mind.
Count o Reventlow of the Tages
Zeitung is apprehensive that If peace
comes it will not bring all that ardent
German annexationists crave. He
laments that the government, in re-
plying to President Wilson, in the
Norddeutsche Allgemein Zeitung, did
not proclaim the firm intent to wage
war to a complete victory and accept
no business peace" or one based on
a compromise. Only a peace founded

Monarchy Must Survive.
The German monarchial system Is
defended by Count o Reventlow as
the rock foundation Of the empire.
This. he says, is the reason why Ger
many's enemies are attempting to UNI
dermine 1t. possibly with the assist
ance Of the democratically inclined
section of the German people. It al
so is the reason why Germany must
win the war under any conditions
and with any means"
The Vorwaerts is happy in the be-
lief that reform of the Prussian fran
chise will be undertaken during the
war. 1t calls attention to Austria
Hungary with a scathing arraignment
Of conditions in one country ruled
without parliamentary institutions
during the war. The Vorwaerts also
critics sharply the Gereman Nation
alist party. saying it is attempting
without parliamentary assent to as
sure maintenance Of dominion over
non-German races.
