A Shattered Dream.
Seattle Times

Berlin newspaper sadly chronicles the ending of Germanys grandiose dream of Middle European Empire designed to separate and ultimately to domin ate Slavdom the one hand, and Western Europe, the other.
 "The continental policy of the German Empire has collapsed, it says. "The Hamburg -Bagdad line has been reduced to the Hamburg Brodenbach road. The last-named town is in Bohemia short distance from the German border, and the road" mentioned is con fned therefore, within the border of Germany.
 What a vast difference there is between this mod est, pitfu statement of German plans and the bombastc declarations current in the Empire prior to and during the opening years of the war?
 It the Crown Prince who remarked in 1913: "t is only by relying good German sword that hope to conquer that place which rightly be- tarily."
 His father, the present Kaiser, also declared God has called to civilize the world; the mis- sionaries of human progress" while Ludwig Volt mann, in 1913 gently observed: "The German race is called to bind the earth under it's control"
 They believed this stuff, too! As Vernon Kellogg remarked, in the of article appearing in 1917 "They (the Germans) fight, not simply be- they forced but because, curiously enough they believe much of their talk"
 They did believe it-impcitly! Prior to the out break of the and during it's early stages, there nothing too great for Germany to contemplate, nothing too ambitious for it to essay.
 By arms, it intended fixing the Teutonc yoke upon Slavdom and Western Europe By force of that vic torious example, it intended to bring all other states under the influence of German "Kultur."
 Berlin Bagdad merely phrase indicative of state of mind in Germany-the state of mind, in fact which rendered it to all the of the world.
 now in the hour of defeat. its editorial spokes bitterly chronicle the death of these and other over-ambitious plans. Verify, the humiliation which descends upon the vanquished is working desirable and appreciated change in German thought!

CURED OF BOLSHEvIKISM.

The New York Evening Post recently published extremely interesting letter from Oskar Tokoi, formerly Prime Minister of the Government of the Reds iE Finland friend in America Tokoi was in sympathy with the Bolshevki. accepted their help and expected tho movement they organized to develop into a mill ennial reform. When the activ- ites of the Bolshe, ki in Finland resulted in Ger dominition there Tokoi fled to Russia and has travelled about that country since.
 What he has conynces him that the movement in which he look part has definitely been turned into ghasty failure, and he finds the to be what all the world outside of Boshevk circles clearly foresaw.
 The Bolsheviki forth to conquer in the name of democracy and proclaimed Government by a minority to be imposed by force upon majority. When all of the educated Russians the land owners, large and small, business and prosperous skilled workers numbered they exceeded the simon pure proletarat who assumed rule all the others and attempted to impose upon all Russia, not merely a new Government, but a state of mind atti- tude toward human rights.
 In that mad policy they have utterly failed and Tokoi finds that today the Boshevik have been deserted by nearly all Russians. Their support comes largely the depraved and criminal classes, and in his view Russia is hopelessly disorganzed that there be reorganization without help from other nations.
 In that situation Tokoi dismisses the thought of

BRITISH WORKMEN SPENDING WAGES
 TO GOOD ADVANTAGE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov 12. British working women are spend- ing their increase incomes due to high wartime wages and separation allowances on their children and their homes, and not on dissipation or amusements, according to an ar ticle by Violet Scott James. made public today by the British Infor- nation Bureau nere. The article is based in large pert on an official report of conditions in Liverpool and reveals that stories of British women workers waste of their un- usually large incomes, due to the war, very generally are unfounded
 The writer cites the Liverpool report showing reductions in deaths due to drunkenness from 95 in 1915 to 70 in 1915 and 28 in 1916, and reductions in convictions for drunk enness from 672 in 1903 to 472 in 1917.

Safeguarding Alaska,
Fairbanks Citizen.

Fairbanks Citizen. )
 Governor Riggs has taken steps to safeguard Alas ka against an epidemic of the Spanish influenza. It is well for Aaskans in general that the Governor was on the job and machinery in motion that will do the possible keep the dread disease out of the country.
 He has requested the steamship companies to ex- anime all mail matter and passengers with view or ascertainng whether it they have been exposed to the disease.
 The influenza would be especially dangerous in the Interior of Alaska because of the tendency of the disease to develop into pneumonia. Many of the deaths that credited to the epidemic have been caused by pneumonia rather than the disease itself
 Pneumonia is dangerous in this country as every knows Dawson visited by siege of this disease last winter that took it's toll of the sour doughs of the country For the sake of the future of the country such epidemic is especially to be avoided, because there comparatively few people sticking to the Interior for the winter.
 The measure of prevention that Governor Riggs is causing to be taken will doubtless fulfil its pur- pose and keep the dreaded disease of Alaska. It spread all the States, and yet there has been effective preventative for it discov- cred The partial quarantine which is being main tained at request of the Governor is about the only preventative that could be used to keep the epidemic from spreading to this country
 We will all hope that these measures will prove successful in keeping the epidemic which is raising such havoc Outside from coming into the country. Our safety and freedom from the disease depends the thoroughnes and efficiency of the officials who charged with the examination at Seattle. May they do their work conscentiousy and succeed in safeguarding country from the epidemic which is raging Outside

ZEPPELIN RAID
ON EAST ANGL|AN
COAST F|ASC0
British Flyers Bring Gown One
Airship in Flames, DAM
age Second and Drive
Away Third.

London, Aug. 6.--The attempted
raid by German Zeppelins on the
east Anglian coast last night proved
to be complete fasco, according to
reports thus far received.
British flyers were ready for the
visitors and met them we'll out at
sea, bringing down one in flames,
damaging a second and driving a
third away. What. happened to the
other two is not disclosed in the Of
fetal statement. The fact, however,
that the report said "Zeppelns
crossed the coast" is ground for the
presumption that these did reach land.
There is. no evidence as yet that
they dropped any bombs.
The novel feature of the raid was
the early arrival of the airships. Two
of them were actually seen approach
ing the coast by holiday makers from
the promenade of a widely known
seaside resort. 1t is considered pos
sible that the Germans miscalculated
the visibility and by arriving before
dark invited an easy defeat.
Airplanes Immediately went into
pursuit and the Zeppelins, throwing
out smoke clouds, turned northward
and endeavored to escape. They were
overtaken some 40 miles from the
shore and Just before midnight one
was brought down in flames and an
other damaged.

V|ADUCT
AND FUEL HOUSE
At YARDS BURNED
Hundred Thousand Dollar Blaze
Destroys Bridge Over Tracks
in South Side; Eight
Cars Consumed.

Fire, started by a spark from an
engine, almost completely destroyed
the South Side F street viaduct at
Thirtieth and F streets Tuesday
night, reduced the new $1,000 fuel
house to ashes, and worked havoc
with the great network of tracks
which lead to the Union Stock yarde
The fire started late in the after
noon and quickly spread to the cars
and buildings in the vicinity. The
west end Of the bridge burned so
quickly that 1t was almost destroyed
before the flames were checked by
the fremen and apparatus from the Is
stations which were summoned.
Big Structure Collapses.
The extent of the loss is esti-
mated as we'll above 100000, all
covered by insurance. Due to the
high cost of steel and building ma
terials under war conditions, the loss
may run far above that figure. Eight
freight cars were burned, two Of
which contained shingles. Track
age in the vicinity was bent by fire
and washed out by water.
The center of the bridge collapsed
from the heat and fell in a huge mass
on the tracks beneath. Gangs under
the direction of Superintendent OF
Transportation Richardson of the
stock yards began the work of clear
ing the wreckage Immediately after

BoIsheviki Considering War
Declaration as Answer to
Allied Plans for Inter-

London, Aug. 6.-It Is reported

considering a declaration of war
against Japan, says an Exchange
Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen

Premier Lenine, the message adds.
has up to this time been opposed to
such action, but it is believed that
Russia will be compelled to declare
war, notwithstanding the people are
opposed to any new war"
Toxic, Saturday, Aug. 3.-Voicing
the aim of japan to crush the Prus-
sian menace in the far east. Count
Terauchi stated that the present step
Tor armed Intervention in Siberia had
been taken in perfect accord with the
allies. If it should be necessary for
the allies to dispatch additional troops
and arms the country must be pre-
pared to meet the emergency.
The Japanese-American negotia-
tions had been made the basis of re-
crudescence of wrangling over do
mestic politics, with charges and
counter charges and sensational de-
mands for the resignation of the
cabinet and the customary campaign
CT recriminations. Consequently the
government had recently closed down
tightly on the newspapers, which
were rigidly suppressed if they at
,, tempted to discuss the negotiations.
1t is understood that the Seilyukai
majority party in the house is willing
to adopt wait-and-set policy. Con-
sequently the Kensei Kai minority
which had hoped to effect an opposi-
ton combination is powerless for the
present There seems every reason
to believe the tenseness of the situa-
ton has been relieved and that the
plans for the protection of the
Czecho-Slovaks and of the allied in
terests against German and Austrian
influence in Siberia, completed long
ago, will be carried out without ex-
citement.
As far as Japan is concerned, every
detail for putting the plan into execu-
ton already has been arranged.
