GERMAN SMUGGLERs
 USE CLEVER TRICKS
(By Associated Press)

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Jan. 25. Endless are the tricks of the smug- gler Prior to the advent of cold weather Germans had been discovered crossing the frontier into Holland wearing no underclothing and women wearing only a mantle They were on their way to supplement this rather scanty raiment at some Netherlands store near the border, thence to re- turn homeward clad in genuine wool len or cotton underclothing instead of the substitute materials wherewith Germany is in these days arraying itself. TO counter this method of pro- cedure, the customs authorities have adopted the equally novel method of stamping the underclothes of all per sons who regularly or frequently cross the frontier If such travellers are subsequently found wearing un stamped clothes these are treated as smuggled goods.

HEARINGS IN EIGHT-HOUR
 SUSPENSION

The public clamOr against the ter ritorial eight-hour law, which went into effect January l, has had the ef- feet of arousing the territorial and fed eTal officials to the point of taking steps in accordance with the authority vested in the governor to suspend the operation of the law in case of emer- gency. AS already chronicled in these columns, Governor Strong has sus- pended it's operations so far as the fishing industry is concerned, as a war measure, but seemingly he has sion order to cover other industries, perhaps because of the fact that the law, drastic and unsatisfactory as it appears to be, was enacted pursuant to the overwhelming demand of the people of the territory.
 That there is strong probability of the order being extended to cover the other principal industries of Alaska is evident from the following telegram, received last evening too late for pub lication in yesterdays paper:
 JUNEAU, Jan. 24-Times, Cordova: At the suggestion of the council of National defense public hearings upon petitions for the suspension of the eight-hOur law as affecting the lum- Der and logging industries, steamship and railway transportation and the operation of mines in territory will be held at the office of the governor at Juneau beginning at II o'clock Tuesday, February next. Persons or companies desiring to be heard, either for or against the petitions, should be present or arrange for au- thorized representative to appear.

UNIQUE METHOD OF
 SPREADING FIRE ALARM
(By Associated Press

BUTTE, Mont, Jan. 25.-Fire. alarms in the Butte Mining company'g properties here are to be spread through the sense of smell, rather than that of hearing or sight. By the means of compressed air, an un- usual Odor is to be forced through the workings, and it is believed that the alarm may thus be spread quick ly.
 Because it will not depend upon un- broken circuits. as the present sys- tenn of electric lights does, and will be distinctly noticeable everywhere in the mine, it is believed that the proposed system will be most effic- acious.
 AS part of it's safety first" pro gram at it's Black Rock mine, the. Butte & Superior company is fssuing at intervals a periodical, containing d tabulated record of all accidents whereby man is incapacitated for 14 days or more. First aid sugges- tions and rules for accident preVen- tion also are given.

vented, strict justice and the common

Of those who are charged with the
responsibility of drafting the peace
treaty after Prussian militarism is
crushed" Secretary of State Lansing
said in an address at the celebration Of
the one-hundredth anniversary Of the
founding of Auburn Theological Sem
mary at Auburn, New York, a few
evenings ago. The secretary is abs9-
lutely right. 1t may he hard to be just
to the Hun at time when the out
RACES committed by him are fresh in
the minds of the people. The ternpta-
ton to be revengeful is strong, but the
temptation must be resisted. Peace
terms must look to the welfare Of the
future rather than to revenge for the
misdeeds of the past. Justice demands,
however, that restitution be made, as
far as possible, for the wrongs com
mitted and that the guilty be ferreted
out and properly punished.
The allies can show their greatness
by dealing justly and fairly with the
yanquished foe, but justice mast he

Save Old Rubbers.

The Chamber of Commerce is asking
all dealers who sell rubbers to keep a
barrel or other receptacle handy where
old rubbers may be deposited for the
Red Cross. People who go in to buy
rubbers frequently wear their old ones
and these they will be asked to donate
instead of having them wrapped up to
carry home.
Dealers are also asked to wrap up
nothing that can be carried without
being wrapped. This is for the purr
pose of saving paper, which is very
scarce. BY donating old rubbers when
new ones are purchased, the buyer will
be doing something for the Red Cross,
and saving paper as well.
