armies joined the revolt He says in part "The revolution which broke out in Pet rograd was, of course, the result of long struggle against autocracy. Matters came to crisis by the complete Reorganization to which the life of the people had been brought by the continual changes of minis ters, owing to the influences that prevailed at the court It was evident, not only to those in close contact with the administra, tion but also to the mass of the popula- tion that if this state of affairs continued longer Russia would unavoldably be run ming toward great disaster
 "The agricultural population, feeling that there was no security in the life of the country, refused to bring provisions to the city, and the army began to feel that the support it had received from the whole of the Russian nation, especially since the sale of spirits had been prohibited, was going to be disorganized totally.
 'The campaign begun by Minister Pro topopoff against the two unions of the zemstvos and municipalities added to the discontent.
 "The two unions had taken care of the hundreds of thousands of wounded soldiers whom they took from the bases behind the battlefield lines to distribute them in hos pitals created all over Russia In addi- ton, they organized in the rear of the fight ing lines medical supplies and necessaries for the army, as we'll as tents, hot baths and feeding stands, and had won the sym pathies of the army by their continuel care for the needs of the soldiers.
 "Protopopoff decided to destroy these unions. He prohibited their general meet ings and ordered that at every committee meeting an officer (who might report every thing to the Germans) should be present
 'This continual discord explains why the army so rapidly joined he revolt'

America down upon him, and that he con siders that the rupture WAS an irreparable mistake The failure of the submarine war will soon show that he was right, but 1t will | be too late.
 "The people he fears most are the anti militarists, snt-PEussian liberal republicans, who want the relchstag to be based on ] universal suffrage That is why Wilhelm is so anxious to convince the nation that he did not want war. All his protestations are made to appease the Liberals and hls i famished and ruined subjects whose num- bers are growing stronger.
 "He wants to continue popular at any price, and that is why he spoke the first word of peace The people were grateful for it, but tn esubmarlne war came and spoiled everything
 "It is hard to realize how the emperor, who enjoyed a popularity unexampled in our epoch, suffers in his pride. He alone, perhaps, in Germany knows the whole truth, since he alone has in his possession the elements for forming judgment in the sit uaton as whole How can he rest, nor ally and physically, under such strain :? Cert rtainly he hopes something, but less and less, for the success of the unrestricted sub marine warfare which he opposed. He sees the isolation of Germany become more and more complete.
 "Once he tried to initiate peace negotla- tons and failed. To try again would be to admit and proclaim to the world, but above all to the German people, which he fears most, Germany's real situation. If the allies solemnly declared, as they did with Napoleon in 1915, that they would refuse to treat for peace with the Hohenzollerns, it would be knockout blow. Our German people who still believe in him, would aban don him, for peace at any price will soon be the unanimous and hidden thought of tortured Germany.
 What recourse is left to him but 8 dramatic abdication in order to retain the sympathies of the German people and save the political future of Prussia? He will say I sacrifice myself to make peace Without me, those only are responsible who desired savage war and the complete iso lation of Germany; those who took at the beginning my son as their party leader and forced me to mobilize measure l hesi- tated to take"

A Sight to Cause Men to Weep

Before crowd of interested spectators on Second avenue, near Washington, Deputy United States Marshal Isaac Evans destroyed 2O5 gallons of high grade whisky yesterday afternoon, says the Seward Gateway of March 2S The liquor was shipped to Sew ard in the name of Captain H. B. Peter sen," and was seized on the ground that it was sent to false conslgnee, no man of that name applying for it. After keep ing it in storage for several months it was ordered destroyed by the court. The liquor was in small kegs and after being emptied out the kegs were commandeered as fine receptacles for salt fish. One or two in the crowd almost wept at the "wanton waste" in the face of the coming dry years, and one burst forth with the lament that he never expected to live to see such a sight"

0Id-Tjner Protects Colony of Beaver

Out on the knik trail to the Willow Creek mines road at Mile 2312, is the home of one of the finest oldtimers in Alaska-no other than the well-known Forty Mile Miller, says coast exchange, He has beautiful place on the Little Su- sitna river, good buildings erected, and a fine farm started Near his ranch, for some unaccounta able reason the beavers have se- lected a portion of the flat as home and there is at that point, perhaps, one of the largest beaver colonies extant And Mir. Beaver, when he selected Forty Mile" for a neighbor was wise for his years, No better friend could have been selected. MT. Miller is miner, and not 8 trapper. When little more than year ago Miller found some steel traps near he beaver dam, he stated that the owner could have them by calling at his place, but if he imagined that he was going to get any beaver out of that pond he had another guess coming. MT. Miller said that during the previous sum- mer he believed that he had seen as many as a thousand beaver working on their project at one time, and he had many in teresting stories to tell of the industrious little animals and their habits. If anyone wants to go up there and do some pho tographing next summer it is believed that it can be arranged, but people are advised not to go there for the purpose of securing specimens
