Patriotism, Financially Speaking

in favor of so per war profits tax This surely
ought to be sufficient to satisfy any patriot Fortunately
we are coming now to acceptance of this principle and
In my judgment, will put 80 per cent tax on war
profits this year"-Senator Borah.
Peace time profits, plus 20 per cent Is it patriotism
to be satisfied with such a rake-off senator?
Maybe it's 80 per cent (ninus) patriotism It is not

COMMUNICATION

Daily Empire, Juneau, Alaska:
 Way back in the little state of Maryland, at Camp Mead, thous- lnds of boys from all over the country are daily drilling and wait ng to go lover there" and do their pit for Uncle Sam.
 Ad Schlafli, of the 23rd Engin- eers, formerly of Treadwell and well known on Gastineau channel, now welterweight boxing champion of Camp Mead and Maryland, is also doing his bit and waiting his turn to go across.
 Now who do you suppose they ire talking of pitting against 5chlafli to make him show his lass? We'll you never could guess eor it is none other than the fa- nous and popular Norman Worth, ,lso of the U. s. army and station d at Camp Mead.
 It is a shame the laws of Alaska made it impossible for these boys o get together on the channel. So when Norman and Ad box way ,ack in Maryland the welterweight championship of Alaska will also ,e at stake.
 This bout will be of as much in- crest to the Juneau people as to he boys at Camp Mead.
 Yours truly,
 HENRY LOBE.

 In brief, then, the Central Powers are to keep by military occupation nearly all the territory they gained from Russia, but the Bolshevik are to sur render to the Turks all that the Russians have ac. quired in Mesopotama. The nub the German propo- ston is found in the fact that it is conditional upon the immediate demObzation of the Russian armies.
 If, as is believed, the Bolshevik government owes its existence and its hope of permanency Ger man support, it is conceivable that it might accept this onesded arrangement after pretense op- position Everything at first, far Russia is con cerned, will depend upon the Lenines and Trotskys They may easily be capable of betrayal unexamped in history but there will still the problem the true Russia, yet heard from

Women who enlisted in the navy and

about their immediate fate. Since they
enlisted, not for the duration of the
war, but for period of four years,
they are not eligible for honorable
discharge until the expiration of this
time. They can, however, be released
from active duty. This means that the
released women will receive no pay
except retainer fee of S12 a year,
and are not required to wear uniforms.
