conference. For instance, Russia has long desired a permanent outlet to the Mediterranean. These desires will not be allowed to work to the disadvantages of the small countries which are situated in the Balkan peninsula. Other nations might like this or that, but these wishes can not be granted by the league of nations unless 1t is for the benefit of all. This second principle simply guarantees that no nation shall suffer because of the desires of a bigger and perhaps more powerful nation.
 The third principle is to guard against any connivance within the league itself In other words, the peace conference must not be a frame-up. There shall be no com bining interests in the league in or der to get a majority of power and thus put through measures which would be unjust and unfair.
  question of boycott This has been a much discussed problem and has been advocated as q means of keeping Ger many in bounds after the war But President Wilson says there shall be no economic combinations within the league and that boycott shall not be used except as a disciplinary meas ure A boycott of all German-made goods has been advocated The Presi- dent does not definitely state that no such measures should be taken. but says that they should be regulated.
 And last but not least in this re- markable set of rules of conduct for the future peace league is that con corning treaties and agreements. The President says that all international agreements and treaties shall be made known to the rest of the world This will make possible all the other terms, or combinations that will work for the good of one or two nations at the expense of the others
 Take it all in all, the gist of the Presidents five principles for the es- tablishment of peace is justice; jus tice and liberty for all nations for all time. without discrimination. metod out by a league of all nations for all nations. And such is what makes our country what it is today, the ideals of justice and liberty for which our fore fathers shed their blood innumerable times. and for which our sons and brothers are now giving their lives.
 America will be known in history as the savior of the world and of the ideals of the world.

MINING MEN IN
 }-DAY MEETING
 AT MILWAUKEE

MILWAUKEE. Oct. 8.-With an aim duction of iron and steel and coal and coke. a special meeting of the Ameri- can Institute of Mining Engineers convened here today for a three days session. Prominent members of the institute of metals division and the iron and steel section of the institute are in attendance.
 Mining engineers throughout the country feel that the importance of iron and steel production. which in itself Is dependent on the quantity and quality of coal and coke avail eabl, is paramount at the present stage of the war
 The meeting is being held simulta- neously with the annual meeting of the American Foundrymen's Associa- tion. and the men actually working with the products of American mines will be able to take counsel with the American engineers on the most pressing needs of the day.
 Some of the subjects to be taken up in the course of the sessions are: A symposium on the conservation Of tin. the metalllography of aluminium. dental alloys. radium, low tempera- ture. distillation of Illinois and lndi- no of farTn. alloys in the electric furnace, the use of coal in pulverized form. price fixing of bituminous coal by the United States fuel administration. the work of the national research council
 Motion pictures will be shown on the tripleX steel process. concrete ships. and the work of war cripples in the manufacturing industries.

VALDEZ GREEK
 MINES ARE TO
 BE PRODUCERS

Deputy United States Marshal A. C. Bowling has returned after an cX- tended business trip to the Interior. Among the places visited during the trip was the Valdez Creek placer mines. and the marshal. who is an old timer in the country, and who has seen and been connected with many mining outfits expressed his opinion that the proposition was bound even tually to be successful
 Unfortunately the company was un- on the ground during the early spring, and not only was considerable time lost. but part of the outfit was de stroyed in the ovcrhOws of Gulkana river which is one of the worst streams in the country to travel on during the breakup. which this year occurred earlier than usual.
 The marshal says that the equip ment which this company has on the ground is one of the finest in the ter ritory, and he gained the impression that with d small expenditure of money to provide some needed changes the mine would soon become highly successful producer.
 h going out the party had diff culty in keeping to the trail owing to a heavy snowstorm which overlook them on the Clearwater divide. IL showed steadily for thirty-Six hours. and the marshal and party had to fol low in the wake of "Birde," Gn old trail mare of Meiers. who knew every foot of the country.
 With the exception of small bunch of caribou and one brown bear, the party did not see any game on the trip. The caribou were too far away to reach and the bear was too near, so they did not modest either-Naldez Miner.

THE SENTIMENTAL SHAW
Sitting By the Preside Peace of His Aut11mnai Years, An Incorrigible
 Strums His LNrC.

We wish that MT. Jesse Lynch Will
 Hams had not seen fit to disi1lusion us a bout Bernard Shaw when introduce ing to New York, With a journalistic preamble, his comedy Why Marry?
 One can understand Mr Williams
 anxiety to make quite clear and un-
 mistakable to US the difference be-
 tween his own outlook as a dramatist
 and the outlook of MT Shaw. This
 was a valuable service, and Mir. Will
 Hams, obNlously embarrassed in the
 performance on an awkward duty,
 has manful1y accomplished it. But
 We wish he had not deemed it neces-
 sary to be so frank about MT. Shaw.
 Poor dear Lr. Shaw. Can he not be
 left to the treside peace of his au~
 tumnal years, and cannot we who so
 long have affectionatc1y com panioned
 him be left in tranquility by such
 grim iconoclasts as Williams? One
 had supposed that even the last faint
 smoke cloud of the great battle of
 Shaw contra nundum had vanished
 Yet here is the ruthless MT. Williams,
 indifferent to the appealing specta cIe
 of the venerable Celt at ease in his
 armchair, telling us that MT, Shaw illustrates the limitations of the scientific attitude in his sophomoric refusal to acknowledge the existence Of the things that cannot be seen and felt and dem nstrated and tabulated He intellectualizes everything :. There is nothing in Shaw to show that he knows much of anything about he things of the spirit, the things which science has not sue caeded in card cataloguins.' These deficiencies. we may infer, are sup l piled in MT. Williams own perforn- anccs as a dramatist. wherein, pre- sumably, Shaw is taken several steps 1 further -- sniritUalized, humahlzed, 1 made sensitivelv intuit1ve.

Mutinv is at once a wonderful and a terrible thing. Sometimes its mo tiVes arc base. Mostly, though, it is a mans final and desperate rebellion against wrong. To join an uprising against authority and law requires both moral and physical courage. But HOT pur daring and cleverness one can not find better examples than among the original conspirators.

NiSconSin'S Two Tragedies.
(NcN York WOrldN

When tue Wisconsin Senate yoted 26 to in favor of a resolution con demning Senator La Toilette for his failure 70 support the Governm ment and people of the United States ir, their war upon autocracy, it gave the Senate of the United States, d much more important body, a suggestion which ought to pe needed.
 . Since last September Mir. La Fol 1ette has been under charges in the body of which he is a member, chal- lengins his fitness for and right to further service in that capacity AL though the evidence against him is all at hand in his printed and spoken words, the com mittee having the matter in charge has made no report and the senate itself, still adhering to it's cid assumption of privilege and courtesy, has taken no action.
 Whatever the Lower House of tl1e Wisconsin Legislature may do. the expression of the State Senate shows that politically at least those best fitted to judge public opinion in the State responsible for him are not afraid of Mir La Toilette himself or of his well advertised o-German supporters. The Senate at Washing ton exhibits no such faith in the American people and no such con- tempt for those who in 8 great crisis fail to keep step with them.
 Wisconsin's other Senator, Paul Q. Husting, great patriot, was acc1- dentally killed while hunting, but there was no such tragedy in his case as that 1ingeringly personltled in Robert M. La Toilette. A United States Senate which eulogiZed a Hustirg convicts itself of mental dis honesty or cowardice when it refuses to pass judgment upon La Toilette.
