THREE KINDS

Relative to the war, Socialists in the United States may now be roughly divided into three classes.
 First there are the out and out Ameri- can Socialists, who have from the first stood by their own country and government in this war, and who have left the party or been driven from the party because of their con- de1nnation of the outrageous and intolerable St. Louis platform.
 Foremost among them are such men as Russell, Spargo, Simon, Gaylord, Judge Cordes, and a score or SO of former party leaders
 Second there are the Socialists who are now disposed to reconsider their condemna- ton of the part of the United States in the war, not because of any particular love for the United States, but because of the recent proceedings of the German government in Russia in its treatment of its Bolsheviki com rades and the Lenine- -Trotzky soapbox re- gime in that country.
 Obviously there is not enough genuine American patriotism in the sudden Support of the war" trumpetings of these gentry to wad a gun with, and their overtures to the national government should be treated with contempt Their Support" is not needed not wanted not worth thirty cents in Villa currency.
 Third there are the Socialists who, not withstanding the kaiser's treatment of their precious comrades" in Russia, and the multi plying evidences that he would shoot and hang the whole outfit as anarchists and prop agandists of infection" if he could lay his hands on them. still stand pat on their trea- son-breeding St. Louis platform.
 As to this last class, it is difficult to es- cape the conclusion that the root trouble with many of them is that down in the bottom of their hearts they are with Germany and against the United States in this war
 If that be the case, they will consult their own interests by bridling their tongues on the subject of war with more and more |cimculnspection as the war proceeds and as the full realization comes to our people that they are in the war.
The weekly Alaska citizen., 1918-05-06
LATE FOR PLANS

The alleged frantic endeavors of the Russian war minister, Leon Trotzky, to have compulsory military service put into effect in Russia, have the appearance of insincerity when one considers the action of the same Trotzky, who, as foreign minister of the Bol- sheviki government issued the order for the Rehabilitation of Russian armies at the be- hest of Germany. It is true that large DOT ton of the Russian forces had already disinte- grated before the demoblization order was is sued, but there was residue of loyal soldiers who could have been used to advantage had the Russian Soviets been so inclined.
 For Trotzky to come out now and take his stand for the upbuilding of another Rus sian military machine savers quite bit of camoufage, or even worse. He had the rem nants of an army and declined to make use of it against the Germans, who were at that time advancing more rapidly into Russian territory than at this time, yet he would have the world believe that he is alarmed over the menace of German invasion at this late date.
 On the face of events in Russia he is either bluf6ng for an unknown purpose or really wants to reorganize the Russian forces, but for some other purpose besides fighting the Germans. It has been apparent for months that neither Trotzky nor the govern ment which he serves has had any inclination to give battle to the Teuton invaders
The weekly Alaska citizen., 1918-05-06
MAIL SERVICE

On account of the vagueness concerning the method of transportation to be used ill handling interior mail service during the com ing winter, there is some uneasiness over the winter traffic of all classes. This may prove to be without grounds, but recent arrivals from the coast say that the majority of the road houses along the route to Chitina are not making any extensive preparations to re- main in business during the coming winter.
 While it may be true that all the postal department is interested in is to get the mail through, it is hardly beleivable that it would take a step which might mean practical cessa- tien of traffic from large part of Alaska for seven months during the year if it knew or had reason to believe that this would be the case.
 During the past few years the interior has had an excetn mail service performed in such manner as to afford equally as good freight and passenger service during the winter months. If the change in the mail service is to endanger other traffic, or lessen the efficiency of the mail service, the interior should know of it and seek to remedy the situation before 1t becomes too late
 This matter is of more than local inter est. It affects the welfare of large section of Alaska. It should be investigated by the local Commercial club, and if the situation warrants taking steps, the circumstances and conditions should be laid in full before both the department of the interior and the postal department in such a manner as to obtain a remedy.

OLD METAL IS VALUABLE NOW:
 MUST BE SAVED

With the first spring days. the housekeeper begins to look about with dissatisfied air, and a great longing to clean up that cellar and cache and back yard fairly bubbles up in her breast. When this hap pens. be sure to have barrel or a gunnysack handy. and put into 1t all the waste that will be valu. able for the salvage bureau of the Red Cross. Then telephone some member of the salvage bureau, rep resented by Mrs. Bickford and Mrs. Beraud in Fairbanks. and Mrs. Bax- ter on Garden Island. and a Boy Scout will call for it and see that the, waste is delivered to the proper parties. You wouldn't think of throw ing away dollar bill if 1t were worn. We'll. that old inner tube. those burned out tungsten lamps, and those dozens of perfectly good stocking tops. are all money to the Red Cross. Do not destroy them. What is to be saved? Practical. ly any metal scrap. especially brass, copper. zinc. lead. aluminium, silver. This means broken trinkets. discard ed jewelry. old revolvers. old tele- phone batteries, tin foil. percolators, tungsten lamps (which contain a tiny platinum filament), as we'll as steel waste, such as scissors and razor blades.
 This also means rubber, in any shape or form. but especially inner tubes of auto tires and rubber pacs. It also means leather of any de. seription. and gunny sacks. which are greatly Tn demand.
 Old stocking or sock tops are need ed in vast quantities this minute They are being made into gun-wipes by the girls knitting club. Nothing is better for this purpose. and thou. sands are needed and at once.
 There is decided shortage of wool Wool clippings, even the small. est. or discarded. wool garments of any nature, have a value to the Red Cross, even though they are of no value to you.
 The Red Cross is trying to help you as much as it is trying to help the boys at the front. Have waste less household in every sense of the word You will be happier this spring if you know that what you cannot use is being used to good advantage for the benefit of your representatives in Uncle Sams army in France.

sian armed camp hanging over them. There IS now no reason to suppose that Germany is any more willing to scrap her fighting ma chine than she has been heretofore.
 Even should she promise to do this, the world would be unable to trust the present imperial German government to carry out guarantees that such promises would be full filled
 It is to be expected that Germany will listen with appreciation to the proposed peace offer of the pope. It comes at a time when her much vaunted offensive on the western front is being carried on and when it has met with such severe checks.
 It is even highly probable that the offer has been caused by intimations received either directly or indirectly from Germany that it would be open to further peace talk This would fit in nicely with renewed peace of- fensive by Germany. In fact, dispatches state that indications have not been lacking that such an offensive was about to begin, and coming from a neutral country would naturally have more weight with other neu- trals than emanating from Germany.
 Peace now on any terms which would be advantageous to the Teutonic allies can not be acceptable to the allied governments and people, When the Prussians are ready to subscribe to the terms set down by Presi- dent Wilson early this year and all that these fourteen articles mean and imply, then it will be time to talk peace, but until that time comes 1t will be useless. And this time will not come until the allies have inflicted death blow to Prussianism.
