PROSPERITY FOR AMERICA COMING
 IN WORLD TRADE
Big American Merchant Marine Built Up During War Should
 Be Maintained Forever

BOSTON-In an address delivered before the Southern Commercial Congress, which met here today, Speaker Champ Clark said that the future prosperity of the United States rests, in large measure, on the incoming foreign trade.
 Ye entered the great war, he said, mainly for the freedom of the seas, and President Wilson can be depended upon to secure that free dom at the forthcoming peace con ference to be held at Versailles.
 Concluding his remarks, he said, that the immense American mer- chant marine, which we built up during the progress of the war, should be maintained forever

BELG|ANS IMPOSE GE RYAN CUSTOMS
 IN GERMAN CITY
Same Rules As Germans Imposed In Brussels Are Now In Force
 In Aix-laChapelle.

ATX-LA-CHAPELLE.-This large German city is not enthusiastic over it's occupation by the troops of the Allied powers, and the yoke of martial law, which has been es- tablished here would appear to be particularly galling to the inhabi- tants of the ctiy.
 The entire population were shock ed beyond measure when the Bel gian troops who entered the city and occupied it, ordered all civilians to leave the sidewalks and uncover whenever Belgian officer ap- preached.
 These rules are exactly the same as those imposed on the population of Brussels when the Germans were in occupation of that city.

GERMAN EDITOR
 SAYS KAISER IS
 NOI RESPONSIBLE
Famous Socialist Editor Blames the German Military Party For
 Starting the War.

LONDON-Maximilian Harden, one of the leading Socialists of Ger many and editor of the the Socialist paper Vorwaerts, says that the Allies have a false impression of the kaiser.
 The kaiser, he says, had no per. sonal part in starting the war, but was the tool of the powerful mill. tary party, who believed him to be coward when the moment for the declaration of war came.
 The militarists, he declares, were afraid that the kaisr would refuse to sign the declaration of war when it was presented to him.
 Hardn says that the kaiser missed his vocation. He thinks that the former German monarch, by reason of his fondness for being in the limelight, ought to have been a cabaret or show manager. -s.

PARIS.-The French government is planning series of elaborate entertainments in honor of Presi- dent Wilson's visit to France which include state dinners, official calls, and probably a gala night at the opera.
 President Poincaire of France and other high French officials will meet the President on his arrival at the port of disembarkation on Saturday. A great many establishments have requested that the day be designated as holiday in honor of the arrival of the American President.
 It is expected that the celebra- tion which is being planned by the officials will be on a larger and grander scale than any celebration ever held in this city.

ROADHOUSES CLOSED
 IN kOYUKUK COUNTRY

Recent arrivals from the Koyukuk country say that there is very little travel by white men on the trail between Bottles and Wiseman, and on the trail south of Bettles, and in consequence the roadhouses are do- ing no business whatever.
 Several of the roadhouses between Bettles and Wiseman are reported to have closed down, owing to the lack of support and such as are run ming are owned by men who have homesteaded and are compelled by law to remain on their homestead so that they can establish proof of resi- dence when the time comes to prove up on the land and obtain a patent.
 The very poor transportation fa- cilities in the Koyukuk country and the consequent difficulty in obtain ing grub, especially where the re- motely situated roadhouses were con- cerned, made the running of these places dependent, to a very large measure, on the game obtainable in the country for the meat supply, the succulent rabbit being invariably found on the bill of fare of a Koyukuk roadhouse. at

 All efforts to obtain a line on the program proved unavailing, as the entertainment committee, of which Ali Eckland is the head, ab- solutely refused to divulge any of it. This attitude is taken as great many pleasant surprises in the entertainment line will be sprung at the appointed time.
 Visiting Moose are cordially in- vited to attend the meeting and the smoker.
