CZERNIN THE sCAPEBOAT

The resignation of Count Czernin foreign minister of Austria Hungary may be interpreted as victory for the kaiser over the dual monarchy Czernin's efforts to obtain peace, and his statement that at one time Aus tria was at the point of. making separ- ate negotiations, one may imagine, ere ated deep-seated wrath in the Hohen- zollern family. The result-exit the peacemaker.
 It may be assumed that the incl dent will not tend to improve the re- lations sbetween Germany and Aus tria, although it is too much to ex- pect a breach in consequence. The French made things unpleasant in the central powers by publishing letter from Emperor Charles. the young Austrian monarch, which recognized Frances just claims to Alsace-Lor- raine and approved the demand for the restoration of Belgium. Caught with the goods, the vassal king snout- ed Liar" reafirmed his adherence to the alliance with the kaiser and made Czernin the goat for his actions. But if fortune favorsz 2

 The present Teutonic offensive may determine the future relations be- tween Germany and Austria. It IS known that Austria is war-weary ana that anti-German feeling in the dual monarchy is spreading. But if for tune favors the autocrats the kaiser will continue to hold his ally in line Should they suffer a great defeat however, it may be Austria's move

10000 STUDENT OFFICERS
 GO ON WAITING LIST

WASHINGTON: Ten thousand or more student officers who today have completed their course of training at national army cantonments and na- tional guard camps, will not be grad uated and given commissions, but will be placed on an eligibility list, from which in order of their ratings they will be commissioned and called to service as the army needs them.
 The men are exclusively non-com- missioned officers and privates of the National Army, National Guard. and regular army. or students from col leges having military courses in the curriculum.
 Until called to duty as officers these men will wear white brassards on their arms as an insignia of their sta tus. They will be called to the service in small groups. Consequently 1t is impossible to present now any list of graduates" as was done when the two previous series of camps closed.
 Any man who has remained in the camps until today is assured of a place on the eligible list.
 Late reports to the war department bear out the estimate that 60 per cent of the men admitted will complete the course.
 Elimination of unfit students has been proceeding practically since the opening of the camps. Physical exam nations of those who passed all oth- CT tests began on April g.
 In each division school, students drawn from the division organizations will be placed on an eligible list for infantry or eligible list for field ar tillery," according to war depart ment memorandum. Students from other sources will be placed on sep arate lists for the same arms. It is the purpose of the war department to re turn the new officers, so far as is practicable, to the units from which they were taken.

recruits are being summoned so rap idly that at the present rate s00,000 men will be in camp by midsummer.
 What is now mpst pgessipgly re- quired is. that the fighting forces of the United, States be brought as soon as possible into the field" said A. l. Balfour, the British foreign secretary in an address yesterday. "The Ger man plan is to shatter the British army before the American weight can be brought into the scale. The Ger man inspired press has been instruct ed by it's masters to show the utmost contempt for the American military effort. But the masters do not share that contempt. They are planning their whole campaign and are sacri- ficing men with reckless extravaganza in order that the American help may arrive after their blow has been struck"
 That explains the need for speedy action on the part of this country. Transports in large numbers are rushing troops to France. Thousands are on the Atlantic at the present mo- ment. The need is vital and the Uni ted States is sparing nothing to in- crease the allied reserves who are counted upon to turn the tide in Pic ardy and Flanders.

CARRYING coals to Newcastle is illustrated by the shipment of 500 tons of coal from the mines at Nanai- mo, B. C.. to Seward recently. Seward is close enough to the mines to be within whooping distance, but the railway is not yet completed and she is forced to buy coal at high price outside. Other Alaskan towns are in the same fix. Notwithstanding the thousands of acres of first class coal deposited at many points in the ter ritory, it's citizens are dependent upon British Columbia for all their fuel supply. This is the result of the con- servation plans adopted by the admin istration, which goes on the theory that an ounce of conservation is worth a ton of coal.

James cannot see the handwriting on the wall plainly enough to withdraw from a contest where defeat Is sure and certain it is nothing to our sweet young life. Charles A. Sulzer, taking the vote at the primary as an indica- tion, will bolt MT. Wickersham and his fashioned political trickery like a malamute would a mouse.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS

Today will be the last issue of the Prospector, for the duration of the war, or until we can secure competent , help from some at present unknown source. Notwithstanding our efforts to secure printers to take the place of our employees who leave on the AL aska to enlist in the United States Marines, it has been impossible to get them to come to Alaska on account of the scarcity of men and the high wages paid outside. With the depar- ture of many of our citizens and the mounting cost of material and freights, the burden of running a daily has increased each month. The past few months have taken all that the weekly and other sources made to keep on the right side of the ledg- CT. Not wishing to run at loss and emerge from the war burdened with debt we have reluctantly decided to discontinue the daily, and give our SuDSCrlD6TS Ouc Ol tuo uCot "SOhhSo in the territory. We will continue talk ing the same amount of press dis patches, and issue bulletin service to those desking to take the same.
 We again ask the cooperation of our citizens in continuing the Miner. While our advertisers will not be able to reach our readers as often as they might thru the medium of a daily, they will have the advantage of near ly 300 more readers, and of larger and better appearing publication. Our rates for advertising will be commen- surate with the cost of issuing week ly, which is greater in proportion than that of daily If the citizens of Val dez will give us their support they will have a paper which any comumn- ity may be proud of. Advertisers de string to take additional space will have better opportunity for display as the daily has been overcrowded on account of its size.

THE CALL FROM "OVER THERE

The response to the call from En- gland and France for more American troops is to be seen in the speeding up of the draft movement.

 War is not pink tea, but in a worthwhile cause like ours, mud rats. cooties. shells, wounds or death itself are far outweighed by the deep sense of satisfaction felt by the man who does his bit. There is one thine my experience taught me that might hslp the boys who may have to go It is this-anticipation is far worse than realization. h civil life man stands in awe of the man above him, wonders how he could ever fill his job.
