AT LYNN'S MINE
 COAL PRODUCTION WILL BE SPEEDED

i W. J. Lynn, who is operating a coal mine near the engineering camp at S5-mile, known as camp 3S5, arrived in town on Saturday for the purpose of hiring more men to work the night shift in his mine. i Lynn has a contract with the Alaskan Engineering commission for the supply of a large quantity of coal, and the greatly increased de- mand for this fuel, which cannot be met with the force he has at present at the mine, has necessitated the putting on of an increased day force and also a night gang, so that the demand can be met and SUD- piled.
 Lynn has force of six men working in his mine at present; and the A. E. c. has authorized him to hire sixteen additional men, so that he will be enabled to extend oper- ations and add largely to the out put of the mine. It is expected that an increased day crew and the night crew will commence working today.
 Owing to a shortage of men in the district, reat difficulty was ex- perienced in hiring men for the mine, and out of the sixteen men authorized, only seven or eight have been hired so far. It is expected that the balance of the required labor force for work in Lynn's coal mine will be signed up in the course of a day or two.
 Up to Sunday night, twelve full carloads of coal had been delivered from the mine pit to the Alaskan Engineering commission, the bulk of it being brought to the Nenana yard for use at the power plant and the boiler house near the engine house, and machine shop, where coal is now used exclusively. The coal is hauled in the new Roger ballast cars, which have capacity of S0,00O pounds each. Lignite coal, however, is light and it is estimated that the carloads brought in were approximately of twenty-five tons each.

 There is also climate, oodles of it; and rising sun, which if not met today will be met yesterday or tomorrow
 There is the Alaska Range and Mt. Mckinley National Park, with it's countless herds and floeks. And all of this is reached by way of the Inside Passage; over the green waters, past the shining gla- ciers and rugged mountains. All of these things and many more, are to be developed and en- joyed.

EXTRAO|1|ON OF
 FORMER KAISER
 MAY BE REQUIRED

LONDON-The Express says that the Allies are about to make a de- mand on Holland for the surrender of the person of the former German kaiser.
 It is believed that Holland is not disposed to block the extradition and that she will comply with the demands of the Allies on the ground that the position of the former German monarch is analogous to that of aspriate or a slave trader, who is not generally regarded as being entitled to sanctuary in any country.

 FOUR YEARS AGO
First Battle of the Marne Killed Germany's Hopes of Ultimate
 Victory.
OOSTERLAND, Holland, Dec.

OOSTERLAND, Holland, Dec. 8 The former German crown prince said today that Germany was thor oughly convinced that they had lost the war early in October, 1914, i'm mediately after their defeat at the battle of the Marne ..~.: ..
 The position of the Germans were considered hopeless after this great battle had been fought and won by the Allies.
 Germany would not have lost the battle of the Marne, he said, if not for the fact that the chief of the German general staff suffered from bad case of nerves.

The PRESIDENTS DEPARTURE

TT IS altogether regrettable that Mr..
Wilson, on his departure for Europe
today. cannot feel heartened and supported
by a more general sympathy among his
associates in the Government. It is not
seemIy. that the President, approaching a
task OF the utmost difficulty, with aims
admittedly high and beneflcent. should have
to start upon his mission under circum-
stances that make him appear as an an
tagouist of a majority in Congress.
At this moment it is difficult to say how
much of the blame for most unfortunate
situation lies with the President himself
and how much of the responsibility belongs
with those Senators and Representatives
who used the occasion to manifest their
incurable dislike for a man whom they
cannot understand.
Open antagonism to the President at
this time Is of grave importance. since
whatever happens in Washington or in
the rest of the country now to discredit
Mr.. Wilson or to lessen his prestige may
be capitalized in Europe by every interest
opposed to the high purposes that carried
America into the war
Mr.. Wilson has virtually snubbed Con-

or forgive. Yet We have all made sacri-
Aces and the gentlemen i'll Washington

| But then the rebuke should be unmistals

| We beIiete that when Mr.. Wilson's ship

STRAIGHT TIPS FROM BoREAs

TIME wellmeaning eruditon Of the

confidence. Empirical meteorological sages
have for years challenged its verdicts with
wide variety Of prophetic machinery.
Ground hogs have been pressed into serv-
ice. Rheumatic twinges have been extolled
as accurate, though painful, weather
prophets. When the late Max Adeler, of
This city, dared to be merry, ere his fun
sense withered under the weight OF po,

unerring index of imminent humidity.

swer could be made to the three ques-
tions with which this article begins.

There will be work enough for the
workers. But will there be wages salts
factory to those who have been getting
war prices for their work? The answer
to this question is not so easy. Wages
have been apparently high. but they have
actually been low, for the reason that
dollar today will not buy much more than
forty cents would pay for four years ago.
So long as prices remain high wages
must remain high unless the workers are
to suffer. A man paying ninety cents a
dozen for fresh eggs on wage OF eighty
cents an hour is no better Off than q
man paying forty-fve cents dozen for
eggs on wages Of forty cents an hour.
Fifty-cent bacon necessitates an eighty
cent-an-hour wage, whereas man was
better off at forty cents an hour when
he could buy bacon for twenty cents.
1t would take the seventh son OF a
seventh son, born with a caul, to foretell
how this question Of wages and prices is
to be adjusted without causing discon-
tent and suffering. Most of those who
have tried to tell how it would come
about have been whiting a peg to fit a
hole the shape of which they did not
know.
The best we can hope for is that the
underlying common sense Of the Ameri-
can people, employer as well as en-
ployed, will guide them to an orderly
and approximately just solution of the
difficulties with which they are con-
fronted.

Justice to the Jew

TO the Editor Of the Evenin1 Public Ledger:
Sir-The "oogroms" or massacres that
have been and still are raging against the
Jews in Galicia have left bloody stain on
the hands Of the Poles which will not wash
Off so easily.
For years the Polish people have cried and
entreated for an Independent State +; and now
when their plea is about to be fulfilled thou
sands OF their countrymen become the insti-
gators and principals OF as sanguinary an
orgy as ever ragged in the dark days of
darkest Russia.
In the city of Lemberg alone they have
deliberately murdered over 400 Jews None
but despcable towards OF the most miserable
morale could massacre unprotected people
the way they did!
And when the victims barricaded them
selves in their synagogues the sanctuaries
were set afiame and tho refugees shot down
II egression was attempted!
Those bloodthirsty coyotes in human form
That Is the height of barbarIty!
We read but the reported cruelties what
of the unknown atrocities those dalnnable
| persons have doubtless perpetrated?
When Belgium and northern France were
overrun by Hun hordes who practiced fear
| full depredations, one thing could be said for
the Huns-they did that in time of war
When the Turks slaughtered the poor Ar
| nenians even they raised an alib; that il
| was a war measure.
| But what can the guilty Poles say" What
allbt can they give? In q time OF peace to
|
| peacefully inclined people is beyond de-
| nunciating damnation of the human tongue
A pity the Jewish Legion was too far away
| to offer aid. Doubtless a few shots would
have set all those cowardly assassins run
| ming
Some Of the local English newspapers are
| apparently unconcerned. They print the
| news of those awful massscres in an out-of,
| the-way part of the paper. while the type Is
so small as even to be passed over by y
| telescope.
For shame! You newspapers Of righteous
ness and Justice Are you really represeu
tatves of the people? If so. surely you hav,
no prejudicial enmity against certain creed.
of peoples You have cried loud enough thai
justice and retribution be given Belgium ant
the other oppressed countries: why don't 70,
say something of that massacre that ha.
been and still Is raging in Galicia?
Let the guilty dailies awake and treat al
rights and wrongs neutrally and impartially
Let there be justice and retribution for al
creeds when the peace delegates sojourn!
The righteous newspapers which believe 1,
Justice to all will denounca those atroctie
