The message from Secretary
Lansing is as follows:
an. S. Cook, Clerk of Board
of Supervisors: Your telegram Of
November 20 received. Persons
making extensive trips into Mex
leo must carry regular passports.
However, those who cross the bor-
der daily on business and those
who merely visit places in Mex
leo near the border may carry in
stead of passport sidentification
cards issued by American immi-
grafton inspectors. Others may
obtain them upon application
made before the Department of
Justice agents, United States dis
trict attorney or immigrant in
spectors in the interior.
"ROBERT LANSING"
Will Labor Be Barred?
The message does not mention
the matter Of transporting labor
ers for the important flood pro-
lection and irrigation structure
work in Lower California, but it
was intimated today that the inn
migration inspectors would con-
slider the laborers in the same
class as those who visit places in
Mexico near the border for short
time only. -
The order of Secretary Lansing
practically saved the majority of
the concessions and cafes of Mex
icali, which depend upon the peo-
pie from across the border for
their incomes.
1t also saves great trouble and
expense for the Irrigation Dis
trict, which has hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of work
going on in Mexico, and which
proposes to raise the Volcano
Lake and Saiz levees immediate
ly. More than 200 teams and
twice as many men will be needed
on this work.
Although the supervisors also
protested on the food ambargo,
no word regarding this portion
of the protest has been received
from the State Department.

 In recent interview, Vera Butch kareff said:
 "I saw the President of the Du- ma and obtained permission to form a woman's company which is to leave for the front at once. We will set an example to the men sol diers, many of whom misunderstood the meaning of liberty It is enough to point to the assertions. to the Liberalization and to all the unde srable phenomena that are respons sible for the disorganization of our forces I will sacrifice my life for my country and 1 am sure that will find followers among women.

HOW TO HELP ALASKA

 Uncle Sam has established farm loan banks Outside to enable farmers develop the resources of the soil Why extend similar financial aid to Aaskans enable them to develop the vast re- sources of this Territory? It would be the greatest investment the government made It would not be gift or a financial waste by means, but would yield a marvellous return in monay and natural wealth.

 common sense plan with plenty of safeguards to prevent corporation control could be devised in few weeks time if the government really wishes to give the people the benefit of this vast supply of coal A certain tract of coal lands could be land drawing. Deeds or patents should not be transferable excepting to ones lawful heirs
 But without funds, the holders of coal lands would be helpless. The government should extend financial aid for the opening of the properties this work to be done under the supervision of Federal engineers the owner of the property being obligated to turn enough of the coal or money derived from the sale of coal, to reimburse the government After obtaining this start. the should have enough business ability to operate the mine himself Should he lack this ability and fail to make go of it. the property should revert back to the Federal government.
 Such system should be followed in the develop ment of quartz mines throughout the Territory. There is much rich in the Territory, and count capital to develop them. Government experts could satisfy themselves to the paying qualities of the and then extend aid above set forth
 What Alaska needs is capital and lots of it to develop The pioneer lacks ths and the logical result is that big corporations will get the cream of the country's wealth unless Uncle Sam experience knowledge of mining, capacity for work and all other requirements excepting that of capital

THE EMPIRE TOBACCO FUND

The Empire has joined many other papers of the country raising a fund to supply the soldiers in France with tobacco The fund is being handled by "Our Boys in France Committee" of New York, which guarantees that less than 45 cents worth of to- bacco will be to soldier for each 25 cents contributed The large tobacco manufacturers are putting up the packages for less than wholesale prices, the transoceanic freight charges being donated and the French government handles the shipments from tide water to the front without charge. The Our Boys in France Committee' and the newspapers donate their services without charge. The packages tobacco include cigarettes, smoking and chewing tobacco-some of each in each package. Each package is designed to be weeks supply fore the dordinary smoker 33sa al
 This movement to supply the boys in the trench es with tobacco is another instance of profiting by the experience of Great Britain and France The only difference here is that the newspapers are furnishing the advertising and machinery for reach ing the people and giving them opportunity to contribute to the tobacco fund. It has been found that of the tobacco is wasted While there are of the boys who do not tobacco and some who smoke but do not chew chew but do not smoke the boys in the field may be depended upon to perfect the distribution that nothing will be wasted

 The Presidents idea of permanent peace treaty according to Washington dispatches would em- brace the following agreements

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.--It was the ed Ensign Vera Butchkareff to en list in the Russian army and even tually to organize the Women's Le zion of death, of which she is com mander and which achieved fame in a recent battle with the Germans, ac cording to facts received by the Rus sian information bureau here. Ac cOrding to this information, Vera Butchkareff is a young country wo man who went to Petrograd from her native village in the province of Tomsk
 Having learned in May, 1915 that her husband was dead on the Ger. man frontier, she made up her mind to continue the task which her hus. band began. and enlisted in the 25th Reserve Corps of Tomsk.
 After a comparatively short train ing, she went to the front with a company to fill the ranks. Colonel Stubindorf enlisted her as a regular in the 2Sth Polotzk Regiment, 2nd Army. For three months, Vera Butchkareff fought with a rifle and on March 8, 1915, was wounded in the leg under heavy artillery fire in battle which took place on Lake Naroch. The wound notwithstand- ing. she remained at the front with her comrades who captured two lines of trenches and one thousand prisoners.
 On March 9. after the commander and the captain were killed, she led the soldiers in an attack which resulted in victory for the Rus sians.
 Afterward she went to the Austrian front, and was wounded in her arm, while taking part in counter charge near the Doubva Korchma. Nevertheless. she retained her posi- tion in the army. But in the next charge she was wounded severely by fragment of a shell. She was taken to the hospital where she re-
