 'I was iu Belgium when the first atrocity stories went out. hunted and hunted for atrocities during the first days of thc atrocity scare. couldn't find atrocities. ] couldn't find people who had seen them. ! travelled on trains with Belgians who had fed from the German lines and | spout much time among Belgium refugees. ! offered sums of money for photographs Of children whose hands had been cut on or who had been wounded or injured in other ways.
 "I never found a Grst-hand Bel sian atrocity story; and when | ran down the secondhand stories they an pctered out.

Hundreds of tons of old papers, maga- zines and other publications are destroyed in Alaska every year that would go far to- ward reducing the resent cost of paper if they were balcd and shipped to factories
 Such stock is worth seven dollars and half per ton at any factory, but the fact that it costs that much to ship it from Alaska to Seattle forcstalls the proposition from a business standpoint. If the transportation companies which return to the south with practically no cargo, woulG make cheap rate on balcd paper, junk men might m- range Co market that wh;rE k BOW wasted.

An editor who eudeavors to please the people rather than an individual is never discouraged when some one says, II did not like a certain article which appeared in your paper yesterday or last week" The article which may not have pleased one man, probably pleased one hundred others. Few editors ever study to offend a reader but that many are offended by what they see in print is one of the surest things

The Alaska Spokesman is the name of a new weekly paper which made it's initial bow to the people of Juneau last Sunday morning. It is very crcditable-appcming publication and the first issue showed cyi- dcucc of the intention of it's editor to hcw to the line without regard to where the chips may fall. The name of the editor of the Spokesman does not appear at the mast head of the paper, but his writings indicate that he is mo novice The only thing out of the common with the new paper is that it does not state that it's object is to fin long felt want, probably am oversight. The Spokesman will appear every Sunday morn ing. May its voice not be stiled.

TALK has been tried on Germany and it looks
as if Congress is trying to begin where the
President left off.
MR.. BRYAN'S attempt to get on the band

THERE will be no lowering of the price OF

the army question.
FTP IN in Ohio, they purpose exempting the

THE more one reads of Uboat outrages upon
those who are helpless before them the
irmer becomes the opinion that those response

that that document was thrown into the Cum
