During the past 15 years according to totals fi- gured from statistics prepared by United States Customs Service the total trade value of Alaska 533S45 for exports and $575,241675 for imports This is pretty good investment for the original price of $7,200,000 paid Russia by the United States govern ment for Alaska And remember this startling wealth has been produced by the enterprise of a popu- lation of than 650O0, and taking aver for the 15 years, considerably this great wealth mining which figures largely is still in it's fancy The extensive coal deposits have not been, mined yet beyond few tons for local consumption The forests have scarcely been touched.

A HOUSE DIVIDED
(EYchange)

t (Exchange(
 The people of the United States speak at eas' eiphtv Languages and dialects, and may be sald to employ habitaually among large groups so"e"h1Ie ' around twenty The people of Canada use Ill 'ne mass only two England and French Yet the pontiIa' and social complications arising from the use ol tne two are greater than those which spring rom the use of the twenty. The division between the fTencn sneaking Canadians and the Englishspeaking Canad ans is much sharper racial division in ths country-sharper even than between the white races as whole and the colored race.
 This apparent paradox is due to the fact that III the United States is, after all language tha' preyails Each successive generation must not ohiy know English but must recognize English as the es sential tongue for his service. The young Gernah Italian Russian, who here with hls parents speaks the language of his father in the home put elsewhere he rapidly dscards it. English becomes the language of his thoughts In too many instances ne even has a kind of contempt for his ancestral ian guage It is perfectly true that in our army toda! there are thousands of who can hardly under stand orders given in English but 1t IS equally true that all of regard the necessity of learning Eng fish opportunity.
 The French of the FrenchCanadans, on the other Neither is the master of the house. For this reason and for this reason alone, Canada has been sharply divided country for years; hardly country-rather two countries Why the French Canadians, in the present state of affairs have apparently no sentiment for France one not thoroughly acquainted with them can do no more than amazedy guess. But that, al any rate is not the point The point is that nation may have fifty languages with one dominant, and SC rapidy forward toward unity; but if it has two oi officially recognized equality it will remain coven foI centuries.

AUSTRIAN IDEALISM

The statement has been given considerable circu laton that Austria has proposed peace to Serbia on terms that include the cession to Serbia of Bosnia and Herzegovina, both districts which radically Serb. As indication of the belief in Austra's weakness the announcement of such terms possible is interesting As matter of historical they about probable offer from the Kaiser to give up Alsace and Lorraine
 Since 1866. when Austria finally expelled from Germany her hopes have all centered in the East. In 1878 with the consent of the powers she took the management of Bosnia and Herzegovina and in 1908, in the face of passionate Serbian oppos tion, she formally annexed the provinces Recent action but it the cumination of effort of cen tures. Since 1898. when Austria took Hungary again from Turkey, she has remitted her effort to keep the Turk back Her greatest statesmen have in sisted the policy of "Drang mach Osten." Bosnia and Herzegovina the only fruits of more than 200 years struggle. That she should reinquish them, except at the bayonets point under the strangling pressure of starvation is almost unthink able. Serbia is a minor factor in the war now. far power goes. Austria may have ap preached idealism. driven by the sword but she has not yet reached this peak of it.

WAGES AND THE COST OF LIVING
Chicago Record-Herald)


 Some interesting experiments in the correlation of a wage scale with the increasing cost of living are presented in the current number of the Survey The Franklin Automobile Company. after long study work ed out formula wages in relation current prices They study conditions and every three months the Sovay Process Company of Detroit after similar study a family of standard size, and raised wages to that point and when the stores in the neghborhood of the plant promptly put up their prices to absorb the rise the company established store of its own to furnish goods at cost to employees.
 A still elastic plan is that of the Oneida Community. Ltd Every empoye whose wage sal ary is less than $2000 year receives each month a bonus based Bradstreet's index figures of com modity prices. In January, 1917 the bonus 16 per of the regular pay in December last it was almost B per cent.
 The Franklin Company's plan, incidentally in cudes asO but theirs is for length service 2k per being added for each year continuous employment by the company-a plan that is in pro cess of wide adoption in form another all over the country.
 There is about these systems adapability that ought to commend them to employers A flat increase of wages. followed by another and another, is able long conditions like the present continue. But when the index figures begin decrease again are these flat raises to be cut down?

state the danger of Russian aggrandizement will be largely eliminated So long the socialists are in control of Russia Slavic imperialism, it is true, is dormant if not dead But the Swedes have dreaded Russia too long to be assured quickly that the old regime will not be resurrected. The desire for the protection of selfgoverned Finland explains there fore naturally Sweden's nasty recognition of the new power
 The Boshevki government actuated undoubt- edly by the force logic. Its principle of national self-determinaton made unacceptable recog- hilton of Finnish independence. The object of Ger many was not less apparent. Thereby Russia was weakened France on the other hand, was confronted with the necessity of not allowing the Finnish people to become estranged. The same considerations are doubtless giving work to Mir. Balfour and to Secre tary Lansing.

Lnke McLuke Says

A lot of men may develop horns from trying to butt into other peo- ple's business. But they never de- velop round shoulders from trying to carry other peoples responsibil- ities.
 The kind of man who can bor- row $1O,000,000 worth of trouble is usually the same same fellow who cant borrow 10 cents in cash.
 The mind of a woman should be more active than that of man. A woman can change her mind 10 times while a man is making up his mind.
 It is easier for an ugly girl to be virtuous than it is for pretty girl. A muddy complexion often denotes a clear conscience.
 We'll give the men folks credit for one thing They are not re- sponsible for most of the visiting.
 If nature happens to give girl good figure she goes around acting ike she did it herself.

raised fund of more than $780, 900
for the purchase Of books, the erec-
ton of buildings and the administra-
ton of the service. Thirty four large
library buildings have been erected in
the principal training camps, and three
or four hundred branch libraries have
been established in Y. M. G. A. and
X. G. buildings, the Y. w. c. A. hostess
houses and base hospitals.
To the library the public has do
, mated more than half n million vol
umes, but the requests for more ma :
terial are incessant. The Sammees
are hungry readers, and it is to supply
them that the campaign will be held
here
The books will be inspected. repaired
