 Luxemburg is independent territory imbedded in the German empire with the right to control of it's soil is possessed by Belgium. While Belgium sought by restrain the German invader LuXemburg elected osuer invasion without militant op poston though has ceased to complain bitterly The future of the German empire looks to the acquisition of various mineral lands iron mines and other assets of in Luxemburg and Wilhelm conceives now to be the time to arrange for it. In the usual way of kultur he is seeking obtain by ndrection that which, by direct acon would further harden world prejudice against him. So Wilhelm is trying to marry Adelaide to any of number of German princes who may prove ac- ceptable.
 Marie Adelaide is g years old very pretty woman and has mind all her is evinced by her criticism of Germany's conduct in the Two German princes have already visited the Luxemburg court, interviewed Adelaide, and returned home with look of pained prise decorating their features The kaiser, of course has full assortment of prncelings and there Is no lack of substitutes, but Adelaide appears be young lady who has made tip her mind to be satisfied with any of them There is question whether Wilhelm can send any German prince to the Luxemburg court who will be persona grata. It may thus be necessary for the kaiser to take Luxemburg without the ceremony of marrying its reigning duchess to Hohenzollern
 In the meantime Adelaide is going to have the friendly concern of Americans whatever happens and the friendly intervention of Gen Pershng just as soon as he can arrange his affairs to take his boys the line and protect her in her choice of husbands-seatte PostInteligencer.

IRRECONCLABLE.

Somewhere and some years since we remem- Der distinctly an article we rad in which the writer eulogized the Kaiser in the following "TIe hates meanness and favoritism. There is in him fundamental bent toward what is clean, manly and aboveboard." This may have been true of the man some years since; but what a difference today. His zeppelins by his orders have killed sleeping women and babes. His submarines have sunk thousands of ships, irl- cluding hospital ships as well as relief ships. His armies have poisoned wells, streams and even food Not satisfied with that, but his ar mics have raped the women and girls of Belgium and enslaved them all with his approval-evi- dently We wonder if the writer of the eulogy above noted can reconcile these facts with his opinion of the degenerate Kaiser of today

SOAK 'EM.

Congress is about to pass law prescribing 9 penalty and giving authority to deal with pro- Germans and other enemies of our country in the proper and beftting manner that their de- manor calls for.
 It Is strange that some peoples cannot or will not understand that our government is a democracy, of the people, by the people, and for the people, and that the people of commun- itE, of whatever religious faith, are portion of that people who constitute that government, each having voice in determining it's policies
 The policies Of our government are always determined by majority, and when the majority in its wisdom decides to take step, every loyal member Of the minority should join uncomplain- inGy with the majority in carrying out it's pol icies. Tn the present crisis to do otherwise is injurious to the majority. Even only lukewarm indifference in the present situation is giving aid to the enemy and in very effective way.

YOU DID WELL FOLKS. YOU DID WELL!

Candidlv, the country must admit that ket- chikan has perfect right to be proud of the record made Saturday in the oversubseription of the third Liberty Loan. But whether the en- tire country grants Us that right or not need not worry us at this time, suffice it to say that being human. we are therefore little vain and admit of a fondness of compliments, especially when they are deserved In this instance, for fear that nobody will compliment us, we proceed to announce that we are proud of the citizens of our fair city. And while we always knew the citizens could be depended upon to answer the country's calls the outside world more than likely didn't know as much Hence the announcement of our pride.
 If we consider that no organization existed, therefore no plans for the campaign outlined the amount of work done is remarkable. In less than three hours from the time the provnsional committee started out the quota of S56,O00 was secured. With Senator Heckman as chairman ably assisted by other big men of the community, subscriptions poured in, so to speak. Talk about patriotism. This is the kind of patriotism the citizens of Ketchikan are imbued with, which is the kind that counts
 This ready contribution to the cause may be said to be accompanied by fair warning to others that Ketchikan is no place for slackers. Where the people respond readily to patriotic call like the citizens of Ketchikan did this time or anytime, it is unhealthy for the pros to abide \ hint to the wise is generally enough.

Wheat receipts at mills have fallen
from 5000, 900 bushels to 100000
bushels week within the last
month. according TO figures receiv-
ed by government agencies. The de-
cline is ascribed to the desire to
hold wheat for higher prices which
would be obtained if congress pass
es a bill now pending to increase the
prices Of wheat to $3.50 a bushel.
Corn growers have written the
food administration threatening to
abandon the planting of corn for
the sowing of wheat unless the corn
price also is raised and fixed. Food
administration officials regard the
situation as serious since a great de-
cline i'm the corn acreage possibly
might result in a tremendous de
crease in hogs and other meat an
