new government of Russian Soviets
in each and every one of the seventy
states or provinces-a system of
township meetings or village mfrs

All this gathering Is done publicly

But no taxes have been levied
since January /. 1917, for what we

Not penny of tax is laid in all Rus

seventeen billion dollars. and it is safe
to say that that tax will never be

The same is true of the fur seal
bones. These are curiously unlike
the hair-seal and walrus bones. They
are very porous and more like chicken
or turkey bones than anything else
OF bony structure. When they were
put into the grinding mill nothing
came out of enough worth TO pay for
the work. So that job was abandoned
In 1851 because II was found that
the bones of 100000 seals, killed in
1876. altogether did not weigh more
than $4,000 pounds, or about six and
a half tons! The average weight OF
the two three and four-year-old seal
skeletons was only seven pounds Now
Secretary Redfeld says he will save
this waste by using the government
vessels and government men to grind
and sack these bones This is gov
eminent business, sure enough; 1t
goes far enough to make 1t paying
job, however. for the job holders at

A report of the bureau of fisheries
says that the steamer Roosevelt rem.
dered very valuable service in res.
cuing several cannery vessels in Bris.
toll bay. and. after a long search, took
twenty-one persons from camp on
an ice foe. where they had taken
refuge after the cannery ship Tacoma
had sunk. The cannery ships St
Nicholas. Centennial and Star OF Chile
were also brought to safety. 1t Is said
the st, Nicholas. with more than 300
persons on board. including lis of
the Tacoma's compliment, would
probably have been total loss in

NAL with 151 persons on board. would
not have lasted another week. The
Star of Chile, which had 220 persons
aboard. was in no immediate danger.
The Roosevelt was actively engaged

| lott of Washington for years con-
nected in a government capacity with
the fisheries of Alaska, was inter
viewed today on Secretary Redfield's
/ letter to the governor OF the terri
tory setting forth his ideas of what
movement to conserve certain foods
Mr.. Elliott not only disposed effec-
lively of the originality OF the scheme
| but also threw much more doubt over
the anticipations of success appar-
| emily enjoyed by the secretary. Mr..
Elliott said to your correspondent:
Secretary Redfield has written a
long letter to the governor of Alaska
in which he tells him he is going to
save certain resources for food in the
territory which have been wasted
heretofore. Then he renews the old
| chestnuts of his department of COM
merce which have been thrown out to
Alaska year after year since 1881,
anent the Atka mackerel' and the
kippered herring; but. aueerly
enough, he does not say a word about
that wonderful discovery which he
himself had advertised 80 well at pub
| lie cost in 1916-'the vast supply of
| delicious grayfish-enough to feed the
| whole country better than II was be-
| ing fed with salmon, halibut or cod ;
These Alaskan dog fishes. which he
had scientifically camoufaged as
gray fishes were to do that eco
nomic stunt for America under Red
fields acute business sense
Well continued Mr. Elliott, the
dogfish-grayfish job had a good and
costly trial at Seattle during the sea
son of 1916-l9I7, and the result was
complete failure for Redfeld.

1t? Does he know that the most keen
and energetic OF men. with whale oil
and seal oil records. tackled that fur
seal oil problem years and years ago
QS76 and 1881 only to acknowledge
complete failure? Does he know that
fur seal oil is so peculiarly thick and
odiferous that no refining of 1t can be
done at a profit in competition with
other seal oils and the coal oils?
Large refinery watts and boilers
were put upon the Seal island killing
grounds during the seasons of 1861,
and every resource of past experience
by old oil and blubber hunters was
invoked to make success of the ven
ture, all to no result except loss.

London, Feb I'm a speech at the

George said that the struggle had now
reached critical stage, which demanded
more than ever the full use of the coun-

that until recognition was offered of the

of the British to prosecute the war with
all the vigor they possessed.

should make restitution for the wrongs
it has committed and furnish guarantees
against their unproyoked repetition. Its
spokesmen refuse any obligations for

guments in the Chittenden county case
of the City Savings Bank a Trust com
pany of Vicksburg, Miss, vs.. H. 5. Peck
and wife of Burlington were made by
II. T.. Brown and Mr.. Peck. This is a
case in which the plaintiff seeks TO re
cover 81 800 on promissory note, with
interest, since January, 1917, the note
having been given by Mr.. and Mrs. Peck
to d. w. Aiken of vicksburg but later
placed in the plaintiffs Nbank without
the knowledge of the defendants in the
case. Both sides took an appeal from
the decision of Judge f. M. Butler as
chancellor, in which he decided that the
plaintiff had paid a portion of the note
TO Aiken. but gave the plaintiff small
Judgment. from which the defendants
appealed, while the plaintiff appealed
upon the decision of Judge NJ Butler as
a whole.
This case was followed by the argu
ments in the Windsor county case of

Something seems bound TO happen be
fore another month has passed, if the
present weather holds. Even now the
ground in some sections is quite fit for
fighting
The enemy continues TO make intense
preparations for what has been adver-
tised as the great offensive" German
troops and guns keep pouring into the
western front. and there are indications
that a few Austrian units are in Flan-
ders.
Certain areas back of the German
front have been cleared for action and
daily bodies of troops have been praetic-
ing attacks under the tutelage OF ex-
perts. Prisoners say that leave for the
soldiers was stopped on Jan. 20.
Actual fighting is still confined TO iden-
tification raids. air activity and occa-
sional bursts of artillery, Along many
miles of the front, which the correspond
ent visited in the past two days, there is
an ominous quiet.
Naturally the allied preparations can
not be discussed but every soldier IN the
long line knows what is coming and
smiles with assurance, for he knows
what his supports are.
