Hold their fates. o Father.
In thy wOndrous hand.
Bring them back, If may be,
Back to grace our land.
For we loved them dearly
But our path was clear;

But If they must leave us,
If 1t be thy will.
Father, we implore thee,
Guide and guard tnem still.

POLITICAL POINTERS

POLITICAL POINTERS
Two years ago the Woman s Political AL
lance did some magnificent political work.
1t was however new at the business at that
time, but should be in much better posi-
ton to do political work now than two years
ago Two years ago Mrs. w. L. Presto was
president of the club and having had con-
siderable political experience she was able
to take advantage of many seemingly, to
persons less experienced, awkward situa-
tions that arose in the campaign. Let's hope
the present president is equally versed.
Next Sunday afternoon at 300 Main
Street the King County Colored Republican
Club will hold it's regular monthly meet
ing to consider the approaching political
situation. The coming primary promises to
be one of the hottest scraps that has ever
been pulled off in this county and if the
COlored Club has any trumps it should lose
no time in getting into the thickest Of the
battle. There will be number of candi
dates for each nomination and the fur will
begin to fly in the very near future.
No Democrat can be found willing to
run for any office in King county from
constable to congressman. All the filings
same condition is reported over the Pacific
northwest generally. But nearly always
hitherto the Democrats have elected part Of
their ticket in King county and the state
and two years ago Woodrow Wilson car
ried Washington by 1880 and King county
by 10000 It's in the air that this is to
be Republican landslide year. Why the
change?
All the progressive Republicans are either
back in the Republican party or they are
saving wood. Ole Hanson, who stumped
for Wilson among the Scandinavians in
1916 and rolled up thousands Of Republican
votes for the Democratic candidate, was
an honored guest on the platform at the
late Republican state convention. John
Ballaine who wrote the famous open letter
to Candidate Hughes asking his views on
Alaskan issues which Hughes lodged,
praised the Wilson record in Alaska in the
campaign two years ago and promised
Alaska coal on the markets of the western
coast by 1917. The Railway and Marine
News and the Post-Intelligencer, mouth
pieces for the Guggenheims, now show that
Alaska coal will not be on the markets be-
fore the next administration. They are
ieerng BalIaine for his letter to Hughes,
and are pointing to the carnival Of waste
and bad management on Uncle Sam Alaska
railroad as a sample of Democratic incompe-
tence. COL Otto Case, too, who did the
work Of a hundred men in organizing Will
son clubs among Progressive Republicans,
is dumb just now. Col. Otto spellbinded
on the Wilson achievements in Alaska, like
Ballaine But now, alas! Alaskan and Sc
attic papers are saying that the Guggen-
helms are again in the saddle in Alaska
stronger than ever, and the old line Repub-
licans are chuckling. And now comes Mayor
Ole Hanson with demand on the Federal
Trade Commission to investigate the coal
shortage and the high prices OF coal IN the
northwest.
No wonder there are no Democratic can
didates It's al! nuts for the Republican
politicians.

Austria Enslaves Jewish Refugees

Austria Enslaves Jewish Refugees.
Jewish communal leaders in
Austria have just learned of the
terrific plight in which a number
Of Jewish refugees from Volhynia
are being treated in Austria. 1t
was learned that $50 Jews from
Volhynia are kept as prisoners in
Salzburg, where they are compelled
to do most mental labors and where
they are treated like slaves. Their
rations are exceedingly poor and
they are not even allowed to write
letters to their families. The Jew
ish leaders in Austria expect to ap
proach the government in their be-
half and obtain some concessions
for these unfortunates.

Protest Against Persecution of
Roumanian Jews.

IIOICSl against PERSECUTION OF
Roumanian Jews.
The Ruthenian deputy in the
Austrian Parliament recently at
tackled the Austrian Government
for countenancing the persecution
of Roumanian Jews in Austria by
petty officials. He pointed out that
many of these Jews had been liv-
ing in Austria for many years and
that their sons are now fighting
in the Austrian armies, and still
the government has exiled many of
these Jews and also introduced
many discriminating laws against
them in the empire. The deputy
produced facts and figures in cor
roboration of his plea and his adj
dress made a strong impression
upon Parliament.

any other single trade and this fact
is reflected in the excellent fit and
smart cut Of the battallon's uni
forms. There are several artists
and sculptors, the latter including
leading British sculptor, Jacob Ep-
stein, whose work has been a center
CT interest in England for the past
three years. A prominent concert
violinist, Anton Tchaikov, is in the
same company with Epstein, which
also numbers a young Russian who
claims to be second cousin to
Kerensky.
Orders in Yiddish and English.

battalion are issued simultaneously
in English and Yiddish, and Yiddish
is used as much as English in in

WORLDS MODEL BATTALION
Unit of Jewish Soldiers Commanded by ishan Now Trann
England to Help Free Palestine.

The new Jewish battalion of the
British army is now encamped for
it's final training period on a hillside
in the west Of England. Early in
the New Year it will leave for the
Palestine front
The battalion is under the COM
mand of Colonel ]. H. Patterson, an
Irishman and great lion hunter in
East Africa in the days before the
war. His experience in command
of the Jewish troops dates back to
the Gallipoli campaign, where he
was in charge of the famous Zion
Mule corps, formed in Egypt of
Jewish refugees from Palestine. Al
ter the close of the Dardanelles
campaign, the Zion corps was dis
banded, but some of it's members
managed to make their way to Eng
land and form the nucleus of the
new Jewish battalion.
Very High Physical Fitness.
AS at present constituted about
so per cent of the Jewish battalion
are British born or naturalized. The
remainder includes the members of
the old Zion Mule corps, large
number of Russian Jews and curl
Gus melange from several Allied and
neutral countries. The level of
physical fitness, according to the
medical officers, is very high, par
ticularly in such matters as teeth
and eyesight.
Wet Canteen Closed for Lack of
Business.
The battalion is practically tee
total, and a wet canteen which was
opened in camp few weeks ago
was closed in fortnight for lack of
business. Colonel Patterson him
self is an ardent temperance advo-
cate. "Crime in the army" he said
the other day, 'is due to drink and
nothing else. This is shown by the
fact that our guardroom has been
empty practically from the start,
and you would have to travel around
many training camps to see the like.
The disused cells have been turned
into bedrooms for the guards"

and Sculptors.

fessions are represented in the bat

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS
 AT TERRITORIAL PORTS

There is much interesting informa. tion in the report of Alaska trade for 1917 issued by the United States ems. toms service. The total trade of the year, valued at $141 ,125, ,462, includes q growing variety of mineral and soil manufactured products Although the volume of tonnage and trade handled last year is not so large as for some of the preceding years, owing to labor troubles and lack of water for placer mining in the Interior, etc, the value is greater. For instance, the value of imports was $44,431, 500, compared with 35,314,933 for 1916, and the value of exports was $96,693,8 ,862, compared with $S4,622,45O for 1916 The total for 1916 was $119,937443.

TURKISH ORGANIZATION
 WHICH FAVORS ALLIES
(By Associated Press)

BERNIE, Switzerland, Feb. IA Renal Midhat Bey, grandson of the fomer Turkish Grand Vizier Midhat Pasha, is in Switzerland organizing a society known at the Turkish League of Peace and Liberty" the objects of which are stated as follows:
 'Tto persuade the Turkish govern ment to make a separate peace; to unite and reconcile the various nation alities which make up the Ottoman empire; and to modernize Turkey"
 In a statement to the press, Renal says: Turkey has reached the end of it's tether. The capture of Jerusalem has probably proved the finishing blow. My latest reports from Con- stantinople emphasize the tremendous impression made by the capture of Jerusalem. The stop the war move in Constantinople derives it's principal impetus from the economic miseries of the people rather than from any dismay at the dwindling of Turkish power and prestige. The terrible con- ditions of the poorer classes cannot easily be exaggerated
 "The disorganization of the army is another factor. The number of Tur- kish deserters in Asia Minor is now over 100000 The Turk deserts not because he is afraid. but because his eyes have been opened to the real origin of the war and the futility of continuing it. The aim of our organiza. tion is not merely to get Turkey away from alliance with the Germans, but to get Turkey into the war on the side of the entente"
