least competent class. In the class that now. rules Russia there are many criminals, there is little intelligence. It is a government whose guiding prin- ciple is based, not upon Noxperience, upon love of liberty and respect for law, but upon hatred of all other classes, upon the resolve to destroy them. All these things are of common knowledge, and upon the basis of this knowledge public opinion in the United States, in France and Great Britain has come to regard the Bol- shevists as the enemy, not only of Russia, not only of the allies, but of mankind That opinion is disre- garded, it is openly fouted, when the statesmen at Paris or any of them make advances toward the Bolshe- vists tending to create the impression tat they may be treated with as though they were a civilized govern ment, that dealings may be had with item such as would be had with 8 power lawful in its establishment and in it's intentions. There is no dissent from this prevailing public opinion, save on the part of a few individuals or few organs known to be misrep- resentative of the common thought. We know that no good can come of the coddling of Bolshevism; only evils, it may be giant evils, can be the result. That the contrary belief could have been entertained anywhere for a single moment is a cause of aston ishment.
 Along that path there is no deliver ance for Russia, there is no hope that the peace conference can in that way solve the problem in the East that must be solved before it can give the world peace and security. The dan ger is great, it grows greater every day. The menace in Germany fs se- rious. Everywhere the belief is gain ing ground that there can be no se- cure peace until the Russian people have a government established by their free will So long as this con flagration rages in Russia, no treaty aEd no league of nations can make the world safe for democracy.

RELEASING PHYSICIANS
 TO COMBAT DISEASE

LONDON, April 20 (Corrcspond- erce of the Associated Press). ).-Coin- cident with publication of the report showing that during the last quarter of 1918 the number of deaths ex- ceeded the birthrate for the first time in the history of civil registration in this country, the war office has an nounced the release in one week of 700 physicians from the army.
 Influenza caused the great increase in the death rate, the number of vic tins from that disease being 98,998, or Al per cent of the total deaths for the period. Lack of physicians is held responsible for the failure to curb the epidemic. At the beginning of this month, although 1,750,000 men of the army had been demobilized, only 1,500 out of 10000 physicians had been released.

CRIPPLED GERMANY
 CAN NOT PAY INDEMNITY


 LONDON, May (by Associated Press) It will be impossible to crip pie Germany without to some extent crippling British trade, Charles s Addis, director of the Bank of Eng land, told the Institute of Bankers re gently. ITO secure the maximum in demnity for the minimum of injury to the trade of the country" he said it would be necessary to afford Ger many free access to raw material and freedom to arrange her own mode ot paying the indemnity. This would be for moderate amount well within her taxable capacity and on such terms n to keep alive in the debtor the hope of redemption within 2 req sonable time,
 "A crippled Germany could not pay a penal indemnity and to suppose that In crippling nation you thereby gath a guarantee of continuous peace is chimerical. The only guarantee of peace is that, having beaten the en- emy, you should be ready to fight him again whenever he likes.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

Ketchikan from now on will grow more rapidly than ever before. It will be large city when other preten- tious towns in Alaska have gone back in the rank of small villages, because this part of Alaska combines mining, farming and fishery business in greater proportion than any other part. The fishing business is permanent, and mining will flourish hereabouts when the rest of Alaska is worked out. For these reasons necessary improvements should be made to last. The period of makeshift Is passed now for our pros porous town. Let us go at the i'm provement in businesslike manner; it shall be money well invested.- Ketchikan Miner.
 The arrest in Seattle of officers of tie law. charged with the robbery of liquor in possession of a federal of ficial, is only cumulative evidence that indifference has it's reward. With tEese arrests, police scandal is threatened that will out-class any previous scandals in the history of the country; provided it is aired out. But leave it to that community and it shall come out with flying colors at the expense of goat or two, as much and no more may be expected; for the Spirit City is known to be in a class by itself so far as geuine restrictions of anything where money is involved. That city is known far and wide to be as liberal in many respects morally as it is with it's money, and that is going some. With hundreds of patrol men and good sprinkling of detec- tives all over the city, it would seem tl4at very little of that should have passed unnoticed for any length of time; but according to reports, the traffic has been fourising for year or more. Prohibition may prohibit; but it also makes thieves-apparently Miner.
