This is strange country; the women

Just wear black dresses and little white
caps. Their shoes are wooden just like
YOU see in the pictures of the Holland

HAY FORFEIT HIS CITIZENSHIP

Juneau Dispatch: A!askans will not permit any man to state that he desires to see the President of the United States hung, or that be would net sup port his country in time of need, with out suffering for his sentiments. Con- rad Mauritz Olsen tlinnes tried it. ac- cording to the complaint, and IS now in a jail, with a suit filed against him by the United States government to can eel his citizenship certificate.
 The defendant is. or was a fisherman at Ketchikan, and it was in this district that he is reported to have made the statement quoted above. In the suit to cancel the defendants certificate, the government alleges fraud on the part of the defendant, stating that he was not sincere in his oath of allegiance and that papers were merely secured by the defendant that he might secure a license to operate a boat in Alaskan waters

DErENDS BOLSHEY EYIkL

New York William B. Thompson,
 in a letter to the New York Tribune, defends the Bolsheviki government and says that reports of iawlessnes5 in Russia are exaggerated. He believes the kerenshy government was going in the right direction but that the property-o"nin4 class wrecked the coalition government, "Because they are now trying an experiment of q workjnenan's government l see no reason why all the Allies should not give them a square deal,' he declares, and suggests that even the Allies do not formally recognize it, some sort of modus vyendi should be arrived at.

FRUIT OF D!sLOYALTY

A German-torn farmer in Martin county, Minn., who came to this coun- try tweuty-siX yearSagO, fought a farm for 8 few dollars 3n acre and retired some time ago with . competence that would be a fortune for one of his class in Germany, had no money 10 buy liberty bonds, to help sustain the Red Cross in it's humanitarian work or to assist the war !. NJ. C. A. in it's fine task of keeping American soldiers cheerful and true to their better selves Atop of all this he went out of his way to say:
 "America is all wind and blow. IL is ! damned poor country, and the kaiser is all right"
 This shoddy creature whined and pleaded in court that he be allowed to pay fine and have his liberty when the judge sentenced him to serve sixty days in jail. The judge rejected the plea and administered q rebu!lc that should sink we'll into the mind of the farmer during his two months behind the bars Of q prison. Let us hope there may fall into his hands a copy of the story, "The Mao Without a Country" :"
 If this retired farmer has children or grandchildren, or relatives of any kjDd, it's sad to reflect what his confessed anti Americanism and pro-kaiserisn may mean to them drought their lives. Granting his right to his own unnatural feelings and foolish opinion, he should

gave way, and admitted tho in Vadlng hosts to the fertile plains of Venice.
 If we were to have peace now, Germany has beaten Us. She has largely paid the costs of the war by descending upon unoffend, ing nations, enslaving their in habitants, and cOnfscating their property. By the war as it now stands, she controls the destinies of Central Europe as never be- fore. The autOcratic rulers Of Germany would declare that they had made good, that autocracy had proven itself the only eff c;ent government, and that de~ mocracy is a failure. Our coUn- try would have ro establish itself on a miIitaristjc basis to meet flu ture attack from the power thus flushed with victory
 The great lesson of the war is that the power that bits first has a tremendous advantage. If it can have but q few weeks start, it can seize territory and intrench itself so that it takes years 10 drive it out. If the war ends now, we shall have to prepare ourselves against the same sud den attack that overwhelmed Belgium. That would mean un- dertaking the OverpOwering bur den of a great standing army and navy. It IS cheaper in lives and money to fight now with powerful allies than to fight alone later.

SOCIALIST WAR AIMS

Paris, March l9.-"The war aims of the Socialist party of France are identi- cal with those of President Wilson" said Albert Thomas former minister ot munit ions, to the Associated Press just before leaving for the inter-allied So cialiSt conference at London.
 Ut has been our of my dreams," NJ. Thomas continued, "that a delegation of English and Trench Socialists should visit Washington, if the President would receive us, to explain to him that his purpose in the war are our purposes.
 The American army is entering into action in France and it's part will be q growing one. Nevertheless, Amer ica has greater role than that of its army. The spirit of the Entente AL lied peoples must be continually sup ported and refreshed by the daily con- seriousness of the justice of our aims. The minds of the people must be filled with ideals.
 ''resident Wilson's part can be much greater than the military action of the American army. By his inter- national diplomatic action in support of his ideals that j5 the supreme part which America has, President Wilson can become not only the leader of American democracy, but the leader of a world democracy, and l can assure you his influence already is very con- siderable with the peoples of Germany nd AuStl.iaN "

BRITISH WAY DIFFERENT
 FROM GERMAN METHOD

London, March l8,-Contrasted with the German proclamation threatening punishment upon the women and chil- dren of Udine, Italy, if they failed to work in the fields for l6 hours every day, under German domination, the order issued by the British commander to the people of Jerusalem after the capture of that city, shows the different manner in which the Entente and the Central Powers wage war The Brit ish order reads:
 Ut is my desire that every person should pursue his lawful business with out fear ofinterruption. Furthermore, since your city is regarded with afec- tion by three of the great religions of mankind, and it's soil has been conse- crated by the prayers and pilgrimages

GERMAN PROPAGANDA

The fact must be always in mind that Germany maintains all over the world, and particularly in the United States, a system of espionage and propaganda de signed to control the whole world for the benefit of German ends. The emissalies of Germany will work this winter with peace. Having captured the swag, they want to quit before they have to give it up, says the Juneau Em- pire.
 The Russians have been par alyzed by listening to this propa- ganda. They were not physical towards, but they have got the idea that you can have the bless ings of freedom without fighting for them. Similarly in Italy it looks as if the insidiOus intiu- ences of spies had been working in the regiments that suddenly

TRADE UNIONS IN CENTRAL
 POWERS NOT ALL IN HARMONY

Amsterdam, March 29.-The German and Austrian trade unions are engaged in squabble over demobilization pro- grams. According to the Austrian labor paper (Der Kampf} both are agreed that, after peace is concluded, no worker should be kept in the army longer than is absolutely necessary on military grounds, but in regard to the exact process of demobilization they differ. The Austrian unions demand discharges according to age. while the German unions insist that the first con- sideration should be given to particular callings and groups of workmen, the
 motive being to bring about the eco
 homie revival as soon as possible.

ms:crtiar1, Mar. l4-That the Ger man government is taking every pos Slble precaUtion 10 prevent the spread of SocialiStic propaganda in the army is shown by the following telegram from Cologne:
 "The governor of Cologne has issued an order forbidding soldiers to join any political committee. Soldiers arc further warned on penalty of imprjson- ment, against reading any Socialist or radical pamphlets or newspapers, par ticularIy recent publication entitled Social Democracy and the Field Greys.'"
