that it is simply a question of the
Dispatch running both parties instead
of laying down until its men are in
Office. Benedict Arnold and several
other old time American citizens also
achieved considerable notoriety along
these lines, but we have no recollec-

Seward, and there is no reason that

his endorsement by that paper would

THE RUSSIAN ENIGMA

VIII Russia, after all, weather the
storm and become real asset to the
allies? The question remains unan-
swered today, just as it has been a
source of considerable anxiety to the
allies from the days of Their evolution.
Nobody knows.
But light is filtering through the
clouds that have hung over the head
long course of the Slavic empire since
the extreme radicals launched their
efforts to undermine the first provi-
sional government in Russia-ac-
Cording to the best opinion-it is not
likely to negotiate a separate peace.
In fact, the view now seems to be that
there has been little danger of sep
arate peace. Yet admittedly the coun-
try is so completely paralyzed that
it can be of little immediate assist
ance to the allies even if it remains
loyal to its engagements.
The Germans, judging from express

HAIG'S answer to the boast of the
German kaiser that the British and
French offensive on the western front
had been definitely stopped, was a
drive at a new point, more terrific
and more devastating than any prev
ious attack in the worlds history. The
dominant position of the allies in the
West shows that they can attack
whenever and wherever they desire,
while the Germans-though by no
means defeated-are fighting purely
defensive style of warfare. The SUI
periority of the allies in men and
guns gives them the advantage neces-
sary to wear down the foe and ulti-
mately to win the war.

FRANCE is the first of the nations
at war to give the approximate terms
on which it will make peace. These
include, roughly, the restoration of
the lost provinces of Alsace and Lor-
raine as well as indemnity in the
form of reparation for the German in
vasion of France-the amount of the
indemnity to be determined, appar-
emily. at the peace conference. Also
the French demand a solution of mill
tarism by the organization of So
ciety of Arms. or league to enforce
peace, which represents the French
spirit of democracy. These aims are
clear and unequivocal-and the kais-
err is virtually told to make the most
of them.

sions of public men and of the press,
have little hope TO negotiating a sep
arate peace with the central govern
ment, and are directing their efforts
toward melting the Firms, the Lithu-
anians and the Poles to break away
from the Petrograd rule.
The socialist group is perhaps the
dominating factor in the situation at
present. The first provisional govern
ment was composed largely of repre-
sentatives of the bourgeosie, which
constitutes the majority of the duma.
The downfall of Milukoff, the foreign
minister, was brought about because
he urged the policy of selling Con-
stantinople and the Dardenelles, and
with him went the power of the mid
die group. The representatives of the
workmen and soldiers now share the
authority invested in the provisional
government in about equal measure
with the duma contingent. They in
sist, not on a separate peace, but on
general, international peace, on a
basis of no annexations and no indem-
nities-the socialist peace formula.
The Kronstadt- incident, resulting
from the seizure by soldiers and
workmen of the great Kronstadt for
tress, which dominates Petrograd,
looked serious for time, but happily
it has been closed by the socialists re-
the provisional government.
The leaders are visionaries who would
the government in order
to democratize ia policy which II
successful would lead inevitably to
dismemberment.
Just what the American commits
sion, headed by Elihu Root, will be
able to do, is uncertain, but there is
ground for the hope that it will be
able to revivify the stronger element
and, because of the democratic ideals
it represents, stabilize the tottering
structure which is neither republic
nor a monarchy.
At any rate, the outlook is grow
ing gradually more hopeful, even tho
the danger is by no means past, and
leaves ground for the belief that tho
Russia may not be an asset it will not
be an actual liability to the allies.

THE first word has been heard
from the peasants of Russia-and it
carries an encouraging note. The chief
factor in the situation since the revo-
luton has been the loose organiza-
ton of workmen and soldiers dele
gates, dominated by the socialists.
The peasants would constitute the
most powerful element in Russia if
they were united, for they outnumber
any other group. Their congress is OPP
posed to "humiliating indemnities"
as the price of peace, but what is
more important, it calls upon the Rus
sian army to submit to discipline and
to defend revolutionary RUSSIA
program which is the essence of pa
triotism and wisdom. 1t appears that
the peasants, rather than the radicals
possess the real elements of self-gov-
eminent. If that is the case Russia
assuming the peasants realize their
strength and apply it's destined to
become one of the worlds foremost
republics.

In a fitting manner, the committee In
charge of the affair reporting that
money enough has been subscribed to
make the celebration one of the great
est in the history of Valdez. The
Ladies Auxiliary of the Alaska Pho
neers will be in charge of the grand
ball at night, and this insures all who
attend a good time, as they are royal
entertainers. The bidarka race is a
new and novel feature in the program
and will undoubtedly bring out many
contestants. While Cordova will cele-
brate the day in common with other
Alaskan towns we believe our local
people should remain in Valdez, as
the program arranged for the ma
tons natal day is the best yet arrang-
ed. The prizes for many of the events
have been doubled, notably in the
rock drilling and baseball game, and
substantial prizes will be offered for
the races, tug of war and other sports.

IF some of our prominent men who
lived years ago were alive now they
would probably be indicted If not i'm
prisoned for traitorous conduct. The
stringent, un-American regulations
being enforced in many localities for
unwise and injudicious remarks were
unknown in the old days. John Adams
while President, refused to approve
of the celebration of Washington S
birthday on the ground that it was
un-American to honor a citizen of a
republic. Abraham Lincoln took the
stump against the prosecution of the
Mexican war and waged bitter fight
against President Zachery Taylor for
sending troops into Mexico. These
men were national characters and es-
capped prosecution, but had they lived
at the present time they would have
been promptly suppressed.-Ex.

Fire partially destroyed the home
OF Bernard r. Neyes at Cedar and
Aims street early this morning. The
damage Is estimated at about $1,000,
which Is fully covered by insurance.
It Is possible that Neves and his fam
fly, consisting OF Mrs. Neves and two
children, Amarlino and Flora, might
not have escaped from the burning
building II It had not been for the
presence in the neignborhood Of Pc
lice Officer d. Luki, who awakened
them from q sound sleep after hal:
the house was aolaze. He turned in
an alarm when a number of Portp-
guese boys told him they had seen
smoke coming from the building.
Fire Chief Thurston explains tina.
there was some delay getting to the
fire. for when they arrived at the box
from which the alarm was turned In
they could see no blaze and there was
no one at the box to direct them. The
Neyes home is three blocks from the
box and the firemen thought it was a
false alarm and were ready to return
to the station when they happened to
see lantern signaling to them. The
fire chief advises all who turn in an
alarm to remain at the signal box
and aid the firemen In getting to
fire as soon as possible.

.SHERIFFS HERE
FOR CONFERENCE:
ON REGISTRATION

Every precaution against the
spreading Of anthrax virus IN the big
pastures on the ranches on the island
of Hawaii is being taken, declared
Sheriff Sam Pua, who arrived from
Hilo yesterday for q conference with
the registration officials and to IA
miliarize himself with the require
nents of the registration law. So
far there has been no outbreak OF
anthrax on Hawaii, although stock
men have experienced losses from the
disease on Oahu, Maui and Kauai.
A few weeks ago the death OF a
dog and the poisoning OF two men,
a Filipino and a Japanese, was re-
ported in Pahala which was at first
feared to have been, caused by an
thrax. An investigation, however,
showed that an acid used for destroy
ing weeds had gotten into a. water
trough.
There will be no slaekers on Ha-
wall. IL effective police work will
check them. We intend to see that
every man of the draft age on the is
land registers" Sheriff Pau said this
morning, after he had had a confer
ence with Chairman F. ]. Green Of
the central registration board.
Not only is every precaution being
taken against the possible infection
CT Hawaii stock with anthrax, but
close guard is kept over every per-
son on the island under suspicion of
having pro-German tendencies" says
the, sheriff
Anyone whom We suspicion might
be influenced to take part in Ger
man plot one Hawaii is being kept
under surveillance" are the words the
sheriff uses in explaining the proven
tive precautions that are being taken
against the possible agents of Amerl-
cas- enemy.
W. H. Rice, sheriff of the island of
Kauai, is also in Honolulu for con-
ference with the registration officials.
