TO MUCH BOLSHEVIKI

\ winter of starvation is a safe prediction for Russia, writes a cor respondent of the Associated Press. Indications, he says, are that it will be one of the worst winters the Russian people have experienced in all their history
 All summer the food situation in Russia, particularly in Moscow, Pet rog/4d and other large cities became steadily more and more acute. In the latter part of August, before the writer left Moscow, bread, ol that mixture of straw, oat husks and other ingredients of unkown origin which Moscow inhabitants are induced to accept as bread, had al most entirely disappeared, and cer, tain city districts haa not received the usual allowance for nearly a week.
 The government had classified the

eight miles wide, the Broad Pass roadhouse is situated just over the pass.
 The trail all the way through is said to be good in the winter and it is thought that the distance be- tween the ends of steel should be covered in about weeks time.
 There is said to be scattering timber on the trail, Jack river and the country adjacent to the middle fork of the Chulitna river having more timber than elsewhere along the trail, Sufficient wood howevos, can always be obtained anywhere along the trail to make campfire with in case of a breakdown or hav- ing to "siwash" it from any cause.
 The roadhouses are said to be comfortably fitted up and good meals can always be had. They always have supply of fresh wild meat moose caribou and mountain sheep being frequent on the bills of fare
 On the Broad Pass the trail crosses three small lakes, the larg- est of which is about mile and a half long. The trees along the trail have been blazed to mark the way and where there are no trees, tri- pods have been set up so that the traveller may not lose his way.
 Mike Cooney and a gang of men are now building a trail to the end of steel on the coast division, and from accounts received to date, the intending traveller will find very good trail all the way from Lignite to Talkeetna, which is said to be the end of steel for the coast divi- sion.

SAVING THE ARMENIANS

The British government is de termined that the wro. 9 suffered by the Armenians at the hands of the Turks shall be righted and thei, recurrence made impossible, writes Lord Robert Cecil, the parliament. ary under secretary of state fol foreign affairs to Viscourt Bryce. Four points mentioaed by Lor.l Cecil as the charter of the .Armen- ian's right to !ibaca .io, al the hands of the Allies are:
 The refusal If tii. Armenians as a nation in the fall Of 1914 to work for the cause of Turkey and her allies, although offers of auto nomy were made if they actively assisted Turkey in the war. Partly on account of this cour- ageous zeal, the Ottoman Armenians N'SiS SS SStSHidtiSdiS iHu- 'iSItu US lHC Turkish government in 1915, two thirds of the population being ex- terminated by most coldblooded and fiendish methods-70C,0 ,000 men. women and children being killed.

population into categories, whereby working men and government em- ployees received a larger allowance, while professionals and well-to-do people get the smallest, which in Moscow amounts to one-sixteenth of a pound. In Petrograd the bour- geots or middle class fared poorly on an allowance of three herrings 8 day
 The shortage of bread is largely due to the governments snort-signt- ed policy in fixing low price for grain which did not even cover the farmers expenditure let alone a profit. The peasants refused to comply with the decree to turn over all grain in excess of certain ar bitrarily fixed amount to the food committee, and when the latter were reinforced by a detachment of armed "bread crusaders, the peasants gaht- cred from several villages and offered resistance, frequently put ting the crusaders to flight.
 But even if the government price were much higher the peasants would not willingly exchange their grain for worthless money of which they seem to have much and which has no practical value to them. They want manufactured goods which the government is unable to furnish, as most of the factories are idle. for lack of fuel and raw material. and also because the Bolsheviki need the workmen to fight on the numerous
 fronts :..

A LESSON IN HISTORY

Many. many years ago on the site of what is now the city of Leadville way back in the early seventies, there was great placer stampede and gold rush. Earlier in the sixties there was a great gold rush to Mon tana-Alder creek, the richest dig ging the world ever knew with an equal era. In '49 Sutter's mill drew men from the uttermost ends of the earth.
 Today the city of Leadville sends the smoke of a hundred smelting furnaces through long channels so that the precious contents of even the fumes of the furnaces may be saved.
 Today Butte and Helana stand as monuments to that band of Alder gulch pioneers.
 Sacramento, San Francisco and a hundred cities of mountain, hill and plain mark the result of the placer production of Sutters mill
 What would have happened to these localities if the good old American spirit of persistence had not prevailed.
 Those places soon gave out. But the men who dug in them kept ever lastingly at it and turned the very disadvantages Of nature to their ac- count. They found new methods of mining, they discovered new ores, they wrested the secrets of Mother Nature from her very bosom and built great commonwealths on the ruins of their placer camps
 Shall Alaskan's be lacking in this great American spirit? Or shall we overcome the difficulties that beset us?
 Snail we say that Fairbanks placer diggings are exhausted when We know that in California ground having less values would be counted bonanzas?
 No-never, We must devise the means and the method to restore placer production. We must de velop her hard rock mines. We must turn Nenana's coal deposits into the power that will revive Fairbanks and bring to life a hun dred other fields of production
 Fairbanks is not dead-Nenana is not sleeping. We are going into partnership-the Nenana- Fairbanks partnership, that will make the won der twins of the world the Butte and Helana of Alaska-the Seattle Tacoma of Alaska: the San Fran cisco-Los Angeles of Alaska.
 We can do it if we will bury petty jealousies and give ourselves whole -heartedly as one soul to the effort.

OF the war is credited solely to the

OF any desire for territory is likely to

Wilson distinctly left the peace door
wider open than ever. authorities say.
Tor he pointed out that his January 8
address contained the fundamental but
not Interchangeable peace terms of the
United States.
At the same time he sounded a flrmer
note OF confident determination to carry
on the war to victory II the essentials
