NEW YEAR LOOKS LOOKS GOOD TO
 SKACWAY PAPER
Takes an Optimistic Out. look of Conditions and Thinks Trade Will
 Improve.

A general optimism prevails in the press of Alaska, concerning the new year, despite the lowering clouds of war darkening the hori- zon. For instance here is what the Skagway Alaskan says editorially:
 The old Year has gone and the New Year is here. The division marks a time when everything that was displeasing is left behind, and the people look ahead, carrying with them the happy memories and circumstances of the past year to the prosperous days to come.
 During 1917 war made it's call upon the American people. Every town and hamlet in the United States and all it's possessions have been affected. The youth of the nation is going to the front The money of the nation is being spent freely. Skagway had done it's very best, and will continue to give of ts blood and it's wealth.
 There is much in store for Skag- way in the coming year. Business, which has seemed to be depressed, will be better than in 1917. Rec ords in Canada show that in the first year of war everyone con- served and there was little travel But the second and third years Canada awoke from her gloom, and times again began to prosper. So it will be with the United States, and reports from transportation companies already indicate increas- ed tourist travel to Alaska the com ing season.
 Conditions in Skagway are prom ising. Bank reports show a larger growth the past few months than ever. Despite the great drain our resources and the call for money by the government, there have been Skagway during 1917. We have seen number of Skagway's busi- ness houses increase in stock and in size. Some changed in man agement, and each change has meant enlargement Several new business houses have opened up.
 The outlook for the coming year is hopeful. It will be largely just what the people make it. If we all hang onto our money, condi- tions will be tight. If we give freely, and encourage business, bus mess will be good. Increased tour ist travel will be our biggest asset.

BIBLE CLASS GROWING

The Presbyterian Bible School is starting out the new year with enthusiasm and interest. Its mem bership is growing. It invites ev. cry man woman and child in Juneau who is not affiliated with some oth- CT school to join it's ranks and enlist as a member We need you; you need us. Sunday begins the new quarter; let every member plan to be present. During Red Cross week a generous offering was given by the school to the work of the Red Cross Society. Next Sunday an offering will be taken for the starving children of Armenia, Syria and other Bible lands. While fla mine is always appalling it is pe- culiarly so when children are af- fected.' In addition there is an ele- ment of sadness introduced in the fact that these children are starv- ing in the very land where the Savior was born. It is confidently expected that liberal response will be made to this appeal not only by the children but also by the older members of the congregation.
 A new departure in connection with the school will be the plan of making each class responsible for one month for the musical services. Next Sunday the Bible class will lead in the singing. Mrs. Dawes has kindly consented to sing for the school solo appropriate to the first of the new year.
 Bible school convenes at 12:15 Sabbath morning. Come and enjoy the hour with us.

AN APPEAL TO GERMANS MADE
 BY GERMANS

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-An appeal to American citizens of German birth and descent to join it's cam paign for helping the United States win the war was made public by the executive committee of the Friends of German Democracy. Franz Sigel, son of General Franz Sigel, of Civil War fame, is presi- dent of the organization.
 This war is rot on the part of America against the German na- tion,' the appeal stated. "It is system of society and government. This system of society and of gov crnment unhappily dominated the German people to their own and the worlds undoing"
 The committee declares that "a majority of the German people, if properly informed about their own Government and it's misdeeds, will not wait until the German nation is completely crushed by force of tti lilS, OuI VIII SOOiltl LII ldICl IfSC against the Kaiser and the junk CTS and establish democratic Gov ernment in Germany"
 President Wilson has very clear ly pointed out" the statement adds, "that the war must go on until the triumph of democracy is com plete. This matter is no longer debatable. All American citizens of German birth or descent must now realize that they are face to face with known fact and not with an open question. America and her allies are going to win this war against the Emperor and the ruling classes of Germany.
 During the past seventy years over 6,000,000 Germans have come to America. We find that the prin- ciples for which many of our inn mediate ancestors, or we ourselves, suffered exile are threatened by the very powers which forced us as a pople out of Germany. We, must rally with our fellow Americans against the tyranny which has so long cursed the country of our fathers and which now rises as dangerous threat against the liberty of the whole world.
 "The Friends of German Democ- racy urge our German people in America by every means in their mower tO assert themselves on the side of right in this conflict.
 "Let us emphasize that we, the Friends of German Democracy, are seeking to unify the people of Amer ica in the common cause as well as to arouse the people of Germany to sense of their duty and their We know that our action here and in Germany will prove a blessing to both countries.

THE HUN PERIL.

1t is reported that there are 100000
armed Germans and Austrians in ST.
IBERIA The Bolsheviki have ordered
the transfer of the immense stores of
war material. now at Vladivostok, to
western Russia. Putting these two
circumstances together it is readily
seen that Japan is wise in landing an
armed force at the eastern terminus of
the Siberian railway.
AS early as 1908 the British consul
at Vladivostok wrote of that port as
follows: THE bulk of the foreign
population here is German. CONNER
cially speaking, the town is practically
German one. Not only the whole
German hands, and there is only one
Russian firm of real importance"
If. as the result of the disorganiza-
ton of Russia, the Siberian railways
are even temporarily controlled by
Germany. Vladivostok, that Russian
Gibraltar of the Far East. will be con-
verted into a German military outpost.
1t would be easy for the Germans to
ship submarine parts over the Siberian
line to Vladivostok where they would
be put together and used to the detri-
ment of allied interests.
It must be remembered says the
Review of Reviews, that Vladivostok is
far more formidably fortified than
Port Arthur had ever been fortified
in the historic days of General Alex
Jeff. Russian Island, lying athwart
the main entrance to the harbor, is
guarded with the heaviest guns, and
was, before the war, garrisoned with
whole division of troops. The Shkott
and the Godolbin Peninsulas that en-
brace the harbor are likewise impreg-
nably protected.
At the outbreak of the war there
were al least seventy-six forts mount
ing some $50 cannon of different cal
iber and manned with $4,000 soldiers.
The military and naval warehouses
were constructed on a grand scale
| extending for thousands of feet along
the naval basin and capable of stor-
ing supplies sufficient for long siege
Vladivostok. in short, is one of the
most strongly fortified ports in the
world. Such a port, if controlled bv
Germany, will be like the mailed fist
aimed directly against the japanese
For japan is only forty hours ride
across the Japan sea.

ANTI-BOCHE RIOT
Demonstrations Against Ger.
many Occur i'm Austria.
Crowds of Slovenes. Cheer for
the Entente.

Amsterdam, April 29.-Serious anti
German demonstrations have occurred
at Laibach as a result of the crisis in
the affairs of the Austrian cabinet.
Crowds of Slovenes, according to vi
emma newspapers, almost destroyed
the German club and smashed the
windows of German stores and cafes.
Troops were called out, but the
demonStrants continued to throng the
streets. carrying Slovenian emblems,
singing anti-German songs and cheer
ing for the entente.
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
received in London Saturday from The
Hague, said the Papal Nuncio at
Vienna, at the request of the Austrian
government had begun an inquiry into
the case of the Archbishop of Laibach
The archbishop was said to have been
charged with taking the leadership of
the Southern Slav movement the aims
of which were said to constitute high
treason. A large portion of the South
ern Slavs are Serbians who desire
separation from Austria.

TO SELL A FLNvER
Junior Red Cross Gets More
Articles for Auction.
Billy Says Thursdays Sale Will
Be Biggest Ever.

Interest in the postponed auction
sale of the Junior Red Cross is grow
| ing rather than abating, many contri-
buttons having been received today,
principal among which is a Ford au-
tomobile donated by w. F. Thompson.
This machine has only been used two
| years and is in good condition. 1t will
go to the high bidder at the sale on
| the south steps of the state house next
Thursday afternoon. $3.50 o'clock. i'm
mediately following the sale of the
Overland automobile contributed by
| the Overland agency.
While Saturdays sale, in spite of
the Indictment weather, was very sue
cessful-nearl $500 being realized,
this was only a splash on the win
| dow pane" as compared with the re-
turns which will be received next
Thursday if the weather is at all
agreeable. The bad weather on Fri
day and Saturday prevented hundreds
of farmers sending in their contribu-
| tons and for their convenience the
junior Rcd Cross auction sale store
room at ia Kansas avenue will be
kept open Tuesday and Wednesday,
from a. m. until 6 p. M, for the
convenience of those interested.
Want Stores to Close.
] I'VE hand this out as a suggestion
only, but think you will agree with us
that it would be nice for all concerned
and very profitable to the Junior Red
Cross if the business houses would ar
range to close at 8 o'clock on Thurs
day and thus give an opportunity to
the hundreds of merchants and clerks
employed to participate in the sale. -
Biby said today.
The committee has on hand at the
present time and will offer for sale
Thursday more than 1000 quarts of
choice fruits. preserves and vegeta-
| bles; 100 chickens; more than a ton
of flour and feed stuffs; a great as
sortment of gentlemen's and ladies'
hats; three cases of eggs: a vacuum
sweeper; a fine new bicycle; a ladys
| new silk evening dress; a guitar; a
| banjo; a silk UNI brella; a collection of
gold pieces including Csc. soc and
$1.0O gold pieces; an English soyer-
eign; two of the first pieces of paper
money issued by a Kansas bank; $500
worth of orders on Topeka business
! houses. including professional services.

rockers and other pieces of furniture;

a number of bonds, among which is
! one $50 Spanish-American war bond
due in August of this year, with two

| $25 offer has already been received
saddle horse, Shetland pony, hogs, and
hundreds of other articles too NUM-
erouS to mention.
On the grounds, in connection with
the sale. Miss Ward and the ladies
who assisted her at Crosby Brothers
Saturday will offer for sale still
larger assortment of cakes and other
delicacies than they had last Satur-
| day. at which time they realized
| $135.00.
Crews and Murphy, together with
| the other gentlemen who assisted as
| auctioneers Saturday, will also have
charge of the sale on Thursday.

Bale WAGGENER.

The passing of Bale p Waggener
who died al his home in Atchison Sun
day afternoon, removes from Kansas
one of the states biggest men and one
of her best beloved citizens. His long
service to the commonwealth and to
humanity had endeared him to men
and women everywhere and especially
to the children of the community in
which he lived.
The death of Bale Waggener takes
from the state one of it's biggest and
brainiest men and from the political
party with which he was affiliated its
greatest leader. He ranked with the
great Democrats of the past-Blair.
Fenlon. Cochran. Goodin, Moon
light, Harris and Overmyer. There
were giants in the Democratic party
of a generation ago and Mr.. Waggener
was the only living reminder of the
old days. He will be missed in his
party councils and in every movement
for the welfare of Kansas and the good
of humanity at large. We may not
soon look upon his like again.

DEEPEN AT "a.

Chauncey M. Depew, of whom one
seldom hears now, altho there was a
time when he was constantly before
the public eye and in the public print,
celebrated the saith anniversary of his
birth last Saturday. On that occasion
he was rendered a reception by the
Montauk club. which celebration num-
bered 81 in a series of such events
In his after dinner speech on that
occasion he told the club that there
is nothing that pro1ongs life more
than having an object to live for This
affects the will, and it is the common
experience of doctors that the will is
the greatest enemy of DEATH
In the course of his address Mr..
Depew referred to the Russian situa-
ton as follows:
The dream of the socialists. a gov
eminent controlled by the PRINCIPLES
| of Karl Marx. was realized They
had their opportunity. They had Rus
STA with her great armies, unlimited
resources and absolute power. They
killed or imprisoned those who dis
agreed with them, they arbitra rilv
suppressed the press, they confiscated
property. 1ney tried to DESTROY the
Church and it's influence and ruled
more arbitrarily. automatically and
! tyrannically than the Car and the
bureaucracy which were overthrow
| by the revolution. On the theory thai
| internationalism is to succeed national
! ism, they disbanded the Russian arm
les and navy and signed a treaty OF
peace with Germany without reading
| its terms, under which the ports OF
| Russia, her mines and wheat fields
| and vital resources and territories
| which made her a great power in the
| world, were surrendered to the enemy
| Anarchy and chaos instead of law and
| justice rule a helpless people Truly
| in the great settlement which makes
the world safe for Democracy, De-
mocracy must be made safe for the
| world.
| The German socialists, upon whom
Lenine and Trotzky relied. were as
eager as the Junkers and miIitar,
aristocracy for the spoil and loot OF
Russia. The experiment has demon
strated that the safety. liberty and
prosperity Of any nation is in the
patriotism of it's people.
In this picture may be seen a warn
ing to the United States. What the
Socialists have done to Russia, the 1
w w. and the Nom Partisan league
would do this country if permitted tc
l have their way.
