THE Anchorage Times is greatly worried over the attempt of Alaskan Democrats to oust Governor Strong and pays a glowing eulogy to Alaska s highest official. Inasmuch as the Times is a hybrid Republican organ it would seem eminently proper for this paper to keep its hands off and allow the Democrats to select their own gov ernor. Championship of the governor from such force would be the great est injury he could receive.

NEW dispatches today indicate that the embargo on publishing steamship arrivals and departures will be lifted on newspapers. This is well and pro- per as the censorship was useless and senseless one and caused Alaskans a great deal of inconvenience and un- necessary worry. While such ruling by the department may have been. and may still be, necessary on the east coast where the menace from subma- rine raids is real, Alaskans will never be any closer to the war than at the present time. While there is prob ability that a raider might escape the vigilance of the combined fleets and pay a visit to Alaskan waters, it is hardly probable. as the reward would mot be great enough to compensate the enemy for the expense. On the other hand it it of vital necessity that our citizens be informed of the movements of steamers, as at this season of the year many of us have friends and rel atives coming north, and must pre- pare to meet them.

MIR. BALFOUR, head of the Brit ish commission now in this country, pays us a compliment when he says that the entente would not think of asking this country to depart from it's established policy regarding entang- ling alliances. No treaty." he says, "could increase our unbounded con- fidence that the United States, having come into the war, will see it through to the great end we all hope for. '" This fits the case precisely. The al- lies know that this country is in the war to finish Equally so with En- gland and France. Also they know that to ask us to abandon our policy against "entangling 'alliances"-and it is just as we'll to remember that Washington advised only against "permanent" alliances-would be to arouse needless discussion over an is sue which ought not to be raised at all

THE Anchorage Times. owned by Charley Heron, the Sunny Jim Of the Matanuska Divide, says that the editor of the Prospector is chronic crouch and that "since the present control has assumed charge" the pa Der does not represent the people of Valdez" Right back at you. Herr, old sport. If we thought that the Times represented the people of An chorage we would send for our erring and absent ones to come home. But the Prospector and the Times could not occupy the same political bed, hence the control that assumed charge" must expect lingualistic slap on the wrist once in a while. With deep humility we accept the criticism for what it is worth,-but we'll keep our eye on our court house and other sources of income to the town.

THE Austrian ambassador, who is preparing to leave for his own cour- try, on the eve of his departure urges his countrymen to refrain from plots against the American government, stating that they can do the mother country no good and will only result in harm to themselves. And this is exceedingly good advice. Had the German citizens of the United States refrained from their senseless plots and incendiary acts they would have had more sympathy from our people and the probability of declaration of war been more remote. Damage to property, even an enemy's, is not to be countenanced in any civilized coun- try. and should bring swift punish ment upon the plotters.

rope encourage this hope. News of the allied successes on the western front, coupled with the growing dis sension in the central empires, some times leads us to believe that victory is in sight.
 Obviously, nobody can tell even ap- proximately when the end will come. It is impossible to gauge the signiti- canoe of the good omens which ap- pear on the horizon. We cannot know how serious are the internal troubles of German, but Ambassador Gerard in the press dispatches today. states that they cannot amount to much, IS none but weddings are left at home. Nor are we in position to determine how thoroughly tired of the war :he dual monarchy has become. Like wise, the effect of the great allied of fense in France is unknown. All these inspire hope, but the reports in last weeks dispatches that the Entente forces lost nearly hundred thousand men in the fighting around Arras, is proof positive that the German re- sistance is not broken.
 It is noteworthy that the allied leaders rA Washington have not in any way relaxed their energy toward enlisting the fullest cooperation of our government As a matter of fact they do not expect peace in anything like the near future. They discount the probability of revolution in Ger many. They doubt that Austria-Hun- gary will break away from the domj- nation of Germany. They do not be- lieve that the allies in the west are at the point of breaking through the German defenses.
 In other words, the allies, who are in a much better position to get the correct perspective on the war than we are, entertain no conviction that Germany is at the point of being de- feated. They know that Germany is suffering but that she is neither starved nor discouraged-also that it's resisting power, though greatly impaired, is not at the breaking point. They realize that possibilities are not proba Utilities.
 This country must strain it's re- sources to cooperate with the Allies in bringing the war to a successful the thorough going system that is being adopted by the to wage protracted struggle if need be is founded on the facts known to the allies.

THE VERNAL IMPULSE.

Sunshine breaks through the clouds of May and with the departure of the snow and the quickeIing of life under the genial heat of the sun. comes the vernal urge. On days like we have been having the past week. what Val dez citizens fingers do not itch to get busy with the shovel and hoe: of the two phases of tie spring operations on the peace terrain, that commonly known as spring fever" we make good to assert, is overshadowed by that which impeia a man to shed his coat, take an extra notch il: his belt, or hoist up his galluses peg. and lead d bayonet charge on the insensate clod.
 American history hardly records time when this vernal impulse can be put to more practical use, or to more patriotic use. than the year of our Lord 1917. To yield to it fully now is to join the Defense League, the Pre- paredness parade. the Home Guard and other patriotic organizations all in one. It is a response to call to the ColOrs It is even more than that it is a meal ticket at time when meal tickets are an extremely expen- sive luxury; and this business of spad- ing up the corner lot or making two beans grow where last spring only one l,Io patriotic of all businesses.
 Perhaps you have observed if your possession thereof is limited-- that dollar has not got the kick it used to have. It value now is mostly ephemeral. Cut one of your cart wheels into arcs representing frac- tions of your grocery hill, and you will notice that the arcs have grown larger in proportion as the value or your dollar has shrunk. In terms of potatoes for instance, the motto on your one-spot should not be "E piuri- bus Unum," but should be the Latin phrase for plain United States, Few In One" Your Goddess of Liberty is as big as ever in dimensions but is worth about dollar Mex, or one peso, in contrast with her value three years ago. The inconsistencies speculator has demonetized our na- tional medium of exchange.
 Thus the business of raising your own spuds, your own parsnips, tur- nips and those other root crops which grow luxuriOusly in Valdez takes on a new importance which is understood in every household. The world faces a food famine; the word has gone forth by the Secretary of Agriculture and prominent economists; the hand writing has appeared upon the wall; our people have been warned time and again If America cannot meet the test we also, along with the other countries, are certain to share the dis astrous consequences of that famine. What each man raises may not seem to affect the aggregate but it reduces just so much the danger of short age-a shortage which will make the present wartime prices look like a new quarter in a mudhOle.
 So take your first hunch, get out your spade. shed your coat, join the great spring drive and-dig in!

How to wash wOolens so they
will not shrink

Wooden fabrics differ wholly from any other fabric
In WOOL the surface of each fiber is made up of scales
overlapping like tiny fish scales.
Ordinarily, when wet, these fbers expand, but the
moment alkal in water comes in contact with wool
fiber these little scales interlock, the fiber draws up
and the fabric has matted" and shrunk.
The sensitiveness of wool fiber to alkal and to rub
bing are the causes of shrinkage.
In the choice of your soap product and in the way
you handle woolens lies the secret Of safety Of COM

STUDY IS BEING MADE
OF CIVIL WAR PRICES
Food Administration Would Compare
Cost of Foodstufs Then
With Now.

Experts of the food administration
arc making a study Of price rises dur
ing the civil war period. as a basis
upon which to compare price increases
during the present war.
surprising feature of the inquiry
so far is that prices continued their
upward trend after peace was declared,
a condition which it is hoped the gov
ernment price regulations will be able
to avoid after the present struggle.
If the food administration can aid
in keeping the prices somewhere near
the present level it will have accom-
plished much, it was stated, because
each of the four years OF the civil
war saw steady and substantial price
increases.
Thus sugar jumped from 51a cents
4.16 cents in 1851. and reached their
highest level. IL cents. in 1865. Po-
tatoes were 81 in 1851 and 1915 in
1864 Flour was 1925 a barrel in 1861,
and continued to rise during and after
the war until the price was $1625. in
1866 Milk went down the first year
of the war. from cents in 1851 to
cents in 1862, and continued to rise
until it sold for IN cents in 1857.
Wheat started to climb from IS cents
in 1851 until it reached the apex in
1867. $3.50. In 1851 eggs sold for 13
cents. and in 1865 they were % cents.
and continued their upward trend until
