THE collapse of the Russian gov ernment. from which SO much was expected, is a severe blow to the al lied cause at this time. Had President kerensky been permitted to fulfill his destiny, Russia would have become a real help to the allies in the war. The Bolsheviki, the radical Socialists of the revolutionists, the Maximalists. comprising the anarchist coast, and the Soldiers and Peoples party, com posed of the labor unions and the military, have all been at swords points since the czar was deposed, and have kept the country in a state of revolution, negating the activities of the loyalists. and hindering the army and navy in its attempt to assist the allies. While President Kerensky was no less socialistic than the Bolshe- wiki leader. Lenine. he counseled federation in policy until the conclu- sion of the war, when socialism would naturally follow. Lenine advocated the establishment of a socialstic state immediately. The Bolsheviki are in reality anarchists. in practice if not in theory, and this. it is asserted, ac- counts for the enormous growth in power in a country just emerging from tryannical monarchy. Until the present war the Bolsheviki were wing of the social democratic party, and could be recognized as socialists of the Marxiam school differing from other socialists only on questions of tactics.

While tobacco might hurt a man who work ed indoor with no exercise, it Is bound to be mighty lot of comfort to the man in a wet trench on Q raw morn ing, and persons opposed to its use should not deny our boys every com fort or convenience that they desire.

ALASKA ROADBUILDER

Brig. Gen. w. P. Richardson, who has so long and so we'll served the AL aska communities in opening the wild erness by means of communicating roads and trails, has been called to report at Washington for duty, and it is likely that he is to be detached from his important work in the north, to perhaps more important work for the nation.
 Gen. RichardsOn's long service in Alaska has builded him a monument in good roads that will endure long. When he was first made chairman of the Alaska Road Commission there were not more than six miles of wag- on roads in the territory. Today 980 miles of wagon roads, 500 miles of winter trails and 2,0O0 miles of pio- neer trails are under the Jurisdiction of the commission. Blazing way through the Alaska wilderness has been a tremendous task, beset with difficulties, not only in accomplishing the work, but often in getting federal support for 1t. Just now the new All aska railroad promises to greatly as- sist the communicating lines of the territory, but Gen. Richardson's roads will always be useful, always neces- sary to the full utility of the rail line, and even more are needed. One road in particular, the Valdez trail, is to become a great scenic highway, increasing in popularity and use as its utility becomes known to tourists.
 The Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commerc- ial Club entertains Gen. Richardson at luncheon today, and this will fur nish an opportunity to Seattle men to express personal appreciation for his splendid work in the North. The Post Intelligencer desires to join with these in voicing appreciation on behalf of

VALDEZ TRAIL TO BECOME
 GRAND SCENIC HIGHWAY

After the war the old Valdez trail, on which many a hardy argonaut per ished during the early days of the gold rush, will become the grandest scenic driveway in the world. accord ing to Brigadier General Wilds P. Richardson, pioneer road builder of the North, who arrived yesterday from Juneau. Gen. Richardson has been chairman of the Alaska Road Commission since its creation in 1905, and through his enthusiasm and perseverance in the work has spanned the far reaches of the North with 3.68O miles of wagon road, winter trails and pioneer trails more than enough to reach from Seat tie to New York.
 Gen. Richardson arrived on the steamer Jefferson and is registered at the Savoy hotel He will leave Tues day for Washington under orders to report to the adjutant general for duty and will probably be detached from the chairmanship of the Alaska Road Commission.
 Wonderland Will be Opened
 Necessarily being a man of broad vision, cen. Richardson's ambition is to see the day when tourists from all parts of the world will ship their cars to Valdez in the summer or early fall and enjoy a motor trip of 370 miles through the heart of Alaska to the interior metropolis of Fairbanks.
 of present appropriations are con- tinued," he says, "this hope will be realized in another year or two. In fact the journey was made in less than two days running time this sum- mer. The trip will take the tourists of the future through a wonderland of mountains. canyons. lakes and mighty rivers and past mighty gla- ciers. They will cross two ranges or mountains-the coast range. near Valdez, and the interior range. a con- tinuation of the backbone of the Am erican continent.
 SpOrtmen's Paradise
 "The rod and gun enthusiasts will find this the sportsman's paradise and will be able to get big game within easy walking distance of the Valdez trail"
 xxy,>.,, xLo AIocIo Rood COnniS- sion was organized in 1905 and Gen. Richardson, then mayor Of engi- neers in the army. was placed at the head, there were not more than six miles of wagon road in the entire ter ritory. Today Gen. Richardson has charge of 980 miles of wagon road, 500 miles of winter trail and 2.00O miles of pioneer trail, all construct ed under his supervision.
 Changes in Commission
 A number of changes have been made in the Alaska Road Commits sion this year. due to the war. Col. w. P. Richardson vas detached from duty on the first of September. and a regiment at Camp Lew is. He has been succeeded by Capt. John Zug. Maj. J. c. Mehaffey has just been detached from the commis- sion and his place will be taken by Capt. w. H. Waugh.

U-BoATS LYING IN WAIT.
Sent Far Out to Sea to Attack Amer
lean Transports.

An Atlantic port, July 25.-British Of
icers arriving yesterday said that a
number of German submarines had met
with casualties in various ways and had
| to put back to their base along the Ger
man coast or at Zeebrugge in Belgium
| for repairs. This took considerable time,
they said, as the parts of the subma-
rines were made at factories in Barmen,
Essen, Elberfeld, Creffeld and other
manufacturing cities in Germany.
Also number of large submarines
had been sent out from 500 to COG miles
in the Atlantic ocean to wait for United
States transports, and others had been
dispatched along the Spanish coast
through the Straits OF Gibraltar TO the
Mediterranean to look for French and
Italian transports.
One of these big Uboats attacked the
Royal Mail steam packet Demerara on
July off the coast of Spain and sank
her with torpedo. The passengers and
crew were all saved and it was stated
that the Demerara had gone down in
shallow water and there was a POSSIBLE
ity of salvaging her after the war
The officers said the Germans had
been trying to get the Demerara ever
since June 3, 1915, when she sank sub
marine with gun fire off the Portuguese
coast while on her way home from
Buenos Ayres.
Capt. G. S. Gillard, who was in COM
mand at the time, received a reward of
81 900 from the British admiralty for
being the first merchant service captain
to sink one of the Uboats; the German
admiralty offered a reward for the cap
ture of Capt. Gillard, and he afterward
got a shore appointment with the COM
pany.
The Demerara was twin screw
steamship of IL ,4s4 gross tonnage, built
in 1912 in Hartland & VOLTS yard at
Belfast She was 500 feet one inch |
long, 81 feet beam and 40 feet depth of |
hold.
According to information brought by
the officers who arrived yesterday, the !
latest type of Uboat which are now
cruising halfway between Cape Race,
n. F., and the coast of Ireland are over
300 feet long, carry two five-inch guns
Of smaller calibre and have a cruising
radius of $4,000 miles.

SIX HEATS NEEDED.

Detroit, July 25.--The 1917 renewa

of these requisites at the time they are
desired.
Decide what will be appreciated in the
way of food, and then portion out tc
| each one their share in the amount OF
| provisions.
Sandwiches of ham, tongue, sardines
and chicken are good foundation; cold
boiled eggs are almost universally liked,
and buttered rolls and biscuit are easily
disposed of.
Then there must be plentiful supply
of good home made pickles, with cheese,
cold coffee prepared with sugar and
cream, lemons and sugar for lemonade,
and cold tea without sugar or cream, and
all these may be safely carried in fruit
jars, if carefully packed.
For sweets, tumblers of jelly, marina
lade or jam are delicious with battered
biscuits, and fresh fruit will be found
most grateful. Avoid taking pies or
much cake, as it invariably arrives in
mussy looking condition.
Ham or other variety of meat sand
witches, to be at their best, require the
ham to be finely chopped, seasoned, and
spread evenly over the surface of but
tered bread, which should be cut less
than quarter of an inch thick. Potted
ham is not expensive, and is very salts
factory with or without a mixture of
mustard.
Have the food carefully packed, so
that it may arrive in good condition.
Wrap many of the articles separately in
paraffine paper, which is excellent for
the purpose.
Remove the shells from all the hard
boiled eggs, and wrap each one of them
separately in parafiine paper, not forget
ting to take saltcellar filed with salt
and pepper mixed.
Soap, towels, some pins, needles and
thread, in case of torn dresses, small
phial of spirits of ammonia for bee
stings, or camphor, in case of accident,
should not be forgotten by the manager
of a picnic party.
For the comfort Of the older ones, take |
along several of the japanese rush mats
that may be purchased for about ten
cents each, TO avoid exposure in sitting
on the ground; and if hammock can
be conveniently tucked into the convey
ance, it will be appreciated by some
member Of the party who is conscious Of
