Admits Some Peculations.

According to John H. Robinson, special investigator for the Alaskan Engineering commission, who ar rested Boyles, the prisoner admitted having embedded the commissions funds, recepits of both the tele- graph and telephone department, and the lighting department, but was not certain as to the amount of his peculations.
 The money, it is said, was taken in sundry amounts since August, 1916, the first dedication for less than $100 occurring about three months after Boyles had come here from Valdez to take the accountancy position. Now that his accounts have been accurately checked, it is declared they show he pilfered al most every month, the thefts rang ing in sums from as low as $50 monthly to as high as $1,500 mont hlV

Took Money As He Needed It.


 To acquaintances and to officers the prisoner contends that he took money as he needed it for personal expenses and eXtravagances and that he is now destitute. This view after a thorough investigation, is reluctantly accepted by officers of the law.
 When Eoyles came to Anchorage from Valdez in May. 1916, where he had been private in the signal corps of the United States army, h. told the officers here recently, that he left considerable debts there. Ht had served one term of enlistment il the signal corps and had enlisted for second term, and then pur- chased his release. While in Val deb he had lived beyond his pay IS d private soldier, having owned an automobile there, and he bor- rowed money to buy his release from the army.

WHAT is A BILLION DOLLARS?

Congress has appropriated for ex-
penditure this fiscal year the sum of
nineteen billion dollars.
How much is billion dollars?
No one is able to visualize it, be-
cause what a billion dollars will do
passes present grasp of intellect,
Frank Vanderlip, head of the larg-
est bank in the nation, told Milwaukee
business men that he cannot tell what
a billion dollars is.
He has worked with money so much
that he can tell how much a million
is, or ten millions or a hundred mill
ions. He knows what kind of an office
building a million will erect, and how
many miles of railroad a hundred mill
ion will build.
But he does not know what bill
ion dollars will do, and so he does
not know what a billion collars is.
And the United States will spend
nineteen billions in one year.
Mr.. Vanderlip says that If twenty
dollar gold pieces were placed side by
side they would reach all the way
around the earth at the equator, ant
still not aggregate quite nineteen bill
ions.
Since the government of the United
States was founded and down to th'
beginning of the war, the total expen
ditures of the central government were
/ S26, 800, 100000 And now, in singh
year, nineteen billions are appropri
ated.
! This money would buy all the rail
roads in the United States, and leav'
a large sum in the treasury.
! In other words, in a single year tn
! United States will spend enoug
money and do enough work to replac
all the railroads on the land, with al
of their equipment, and carry on tn
ordinary business of peace at Oh
), same time.
Mr.. Vanderlip, by his comparisons
has enabled all of us to see littl
more clearly what large job the cou1
try is undertaking, though not a singl
man, as he says, can visualize thos
nineteen billions that are to be spen

MAKE LOAFING A CRIME.

In Aberdeen a police judge has de-
creed that any man who will not go to
work shall go to Jail One man who
refused to get a job within forty-eight
hours was sent to Jail for 80 days and
given a fine of 500.
That is good work There are none
who cannot now get jobs at high
wages. There is no excuse for
"slackers" who are needed in the in
dustry of the land
In Aberdeen, since the police judge
made his ruling in this case, the num-
Der of loafers has been reduced, ac-
teOrding to the Aberdeen World.
Why could not every city in the ma
ton follow the Aberdeen plan with
profit?
There are still hundreds of men in
the cities who will not work AS long
as loafing is permitted they will work
just enough to subsist, and many of
them would rather commit minor
crimes than earn honest money at
useful toll.
Now is a good time to make every
man get a real job.
Make loafing an unhealthy pastime,
for both the rich and poor.-Tacoma

PERSONAL TAXES GENERALLY
EVADED

Cleveland and New York city are
again trying to locate John d. Rookie
feller's personal property, with the
idea of taxing it. Cleveland can find
little of the personally of the oil man,
but it is going to slap on IN assess
ment for four hundred millions for his
movable wealth.
Every year since we can remember
this matter of taxing Rockefeller
personal property has come up. And
every year about the same result is
reached.
If all personal taxation was abol
ished and the money it yields obtained
from other sources, the burden of taxa
ton would be more fairly distributed
and the law would not make evasion
a popular sport.

HUNS SINK THEIR OWN TONNAGE

1t will be some time before Germany
sinks United States ships of a total
tonnage to equal the German and Aus
trial ships we have confiscated.
The government announces the loss
of sixty-nine ships to German subma-
Tines in the past year Most of these
were sailing vessels, and their total
tonnage was III, O61 gross. With these
ships were lost 300 persons and vaIu-
able cargoes.
But the lives and cargoes were not
so precious as the ships-thus bluntly
has the nation come to look at the war.
Men and food and munitions can be
replaced almost on che spot: it takes
time to build ships.
For the sixty-nine ships Germany
has sunk, the United States has 1O7
German ships that were in our har-
bors when war was declared These
ships include some of the largest boats
in the world, and their total tonnage
Is 686,494 gross, leaving a gain to the
United States of 515,433 gross tons.
The Germans will have to go on
sinking their own boats for long time
before they can begin to reduce the
tonnage the United States owned when
the war broke out. And this does not
take into consideration the ships built
and building for the merchant marine.

ITALY SLAMS THE BOOSTERS

Our Italian allies are the right stuff.
They can stand temporary defeat and
still be in the mood to put a blow or
TWO across.
While the Huns are sending out
word that they are preparing for their
biggest drive, it does all of US good to
see the Italians stand up and slam
them. That is the right kind of con-
tempt
The Germans are trying to put a
scare into their enemies. The frigh
lis not undertaking.
For our part we believe that the Ger,
mans are bluffng We do not think
they have the heart for a big attack
We do not believe the German gen
erals would risk the inevitable depres-
sion that would follow the certain fail
ure of any lunge they might make on
the western front. And again, neither
side is advertising attacks months in
advance. The Germans never did so
before, and they only do so now be-
cause they want to disconcert their
enemies.
We may be wrong, and we hope we
are. 1t would help our cause for the
Germans to launch big offensive with
its consequent large loss of Hun lives
and the certain spread of unrest in
Germany as the attack failed of its
purpose.

WHILE THE GRABBING is eoor

The hardships imposed on the good
people of the Third congressional dis
trict of Kentucky by the high cost of
living and increased taxation are to
be alleviated in a marked degree if
the ninety-five private bills introduced
in one day by their Democratic repre-
sentative are enacted into law. Fifty
three of those bills propose the grant
ing of pensions in cases which have
been rejected on their merits by the
pension bureau; thirty-three of them
make appropriations of varying sums
to parties who allege that their prop
erty was injured or destroyed during
the Civil war, and nine of the meas
ures provide for the removal of the
charge of desertion standing against
the records of Civil war veterans, so
as to make them eligible for pensions.
One of the bills would correct the
military record" of several entire bat
talions of Kentucky militia and grant
pensions to their surviving members.
The imposition of such burdens upon
the treasury while the country is
struggling to finance the war repre-
sents the conception of patriotism en-
tertained by some members Of the
party in power, and yet it is such men
who cry the loudest for Democrats to
be sent to congress to stand by the
President"

than the minimum number of men in
France in August, 1917. He continued:
And then the editor goes on:
BY next year, 1918. we could have
100000 men to send over, or any part
of 100000 men which we could ship
Now, instead of having $4,000 or
10000 men in France in 1917, we have
many more men than that in France,
and instead of having 100000 men
whom we could ship to France If we
could find any way to do it in 1918.
we will have more than 100000 men
in France early in 1918, and we have
available, if the transportation facilf-
ties are available to us-and the pros
pect is not unpromising-1,50 900 men
who in 1918 can be shipped to France 3"

have you not felt it proper to let the

ence to these things that you are tell

Senator, I confess have hesitated,
and still hesitate" replied the secre-
tary. 81 have here a statement from
Field Marshal Won Hindenberg in
which he is quoted as saying in Ger

ion of US, that we have advertised our
preparations for this war in an UNI

everything we have done?"
eyes, know. If I may rely upon the
confidential information which we get
from confidential sources, the German
government is still mystified as to the
number of men we have in France or
have had there at any time"
Why Facts Were Held Back
The chairman said he doubted this.
After some discussion as to the policy
of governments in announcing military
secrets, Mr.. Baker said:
Il am saying this now because you
have asked me why l have held back
these facts until now. l am saying to
you that you could not get from Great
Britain at this moment don't know
whether I could get-the number OF
soldiers Great Britain has in France or
at home. I could get an approxima,
ton; could get whatever information
might be deemed helpful to the imme-
