A DIFFICULT QUESTION.

The matter of punishment for those Ann erican soldiers who recently entered into a mutiny on the Archangel front is likely to prove embarrassing to the war department and army officials whose duty it will be to handle the affair That SO serious an infrac- ton of military law and discipline will go unheeded is hardly to be considered
 In many armies of various foreign coun- tries men taking such course would have met firing squad without any formalities.
 In peace time an organized effort to disobey |orders-refusal by an entire company to obey sidered a capital infraction of regulations In the time of war, facing an enemy of superior forces, and in the country of such an enemy, it can easily be seen that such an of- fense is extremely grave. The punishment provided for mutiny can be death, and in most cases would be death.
 The peculiar circumstances which sur round the Russian campaign, however, have a mitigating effect upon the matter. It is pos sible that the case will be up before the mili- |tary affairs committee of both houses. The army authorities may be instructed just what punishment shall be inflicted But if it is left Ito the military men to decide it will not be |pardoned, and the offenders will not go scot free of all punishment.
 No one should expect that it would. It affects the safety of every allied soldier on that front The same spirit which actuated these men, if shown by the remaining com panies of Americans on the Archangel front, would produce the collapse of the campaign in that region and place the entire allied force there at the mercy of the Bolsheviki troops
 Press despatches do not indicate that the 1nutiny was caused by any spread of Bolshe- vism. It seems rather an unwillingness to continue struggle against an enemy with whom they have no quarrel. Misleading propaganda led them to take action which, as soldiers and Americans, should not have been thought of. But there is no reason to fear that our forces, as whole, are being infected with the ruinous doctrine of the Russian Bol- shevists.

statement was made and to whom it Was made. That should satisfy any truth loving people" in theSvorld2
 Yesterday afternoon the News Miner who in common with number of people in Fairbanks, received an edited and corrected version of Wickersham's pleading last winter got this document out and proceeded to quote Wick as he might have said it but didn't The "public document" from which the News Miner quotes Wick as saying Mot if l lose HERE" is nothing more nor less than a pamphlet struck off at the government print ing office in Washington costing Wickersham about 10 cents copy and printed after Wick |ersham made whatever corrections he desired. And it isn't hard to guess where the word HERE" first made its appearance on the ISCene.
 The Citizen doesn't have to misquote Wickersham in order to take issues with hlr But we believe that when he pledges himself to certain course of conduct and then flatly repudiates his pledge someone, preferably The Citizen, should let truth loving people" know the facts.
 And this is fact as printed in the Con- gressional Record of Jan. 4, 1919, Wicker sham on the floor of the house of representa- tives, not in any committee room made this statement, NOT IF I LOSE, BECAUSE I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF IT," AND there is no HERE in it. The truth loving people" of Alaska can judge between the cor rectness of the statement as contained in the Congressional Record and as it appears in the pamphlet edited and amended by Judge Wick ersham and printed by the government print ing office for the usual sum.

against the government and Alaska's future prosperity. If Wickersham ever said one
 word about such a combine against the road
 prior to the publication of his letter, if he ever attempted to prove the existence of such a combination, then we never heard of it, and
 Wick is not one to conceal his light under a
 basket. He did attempt to charge exorbi- tant rates against steamship and various rail-
 way corporations in the Alaskan field some years ago. He got hearings, some of them even being held in Alaskan towns, but he fail- ed miseraby to make a case and the commits
 sion ruled against him. But as far as we
 know he never, at any time before attempted to show that Alaskan transportation compa- nies had united for the express purpose of killing our railroad but he says it was done in 1914. It might be interesting to the people of Alaska to know why he waited until now to make his howl.
 Prof. Hayden's letter proves that his charges against Lanes administration of
 Alaskan railway affairs are groundess. The
 only apparent reason for such tirade as Wick put out is that he is simply trying to
 even up some political scores and does not hesitate to ruin all interior Alaska in order to accomplish it.

FORDIZING HUNGARY

Press despatches say that the new Hun garian government plans to invite Henry Ford to go over there and organize Hungarian plants along the same lines as the Ford fac tories in America are conducted. Such pro- cedure would seem to indicate that all the communists are not fools and followers of the will O the wisp.
 Many prominent American business lead CTS characterized MT. Ford as crazy when he first announced his intention of inaugurating a minimum wage in his factory at Detroit. A howl went up that was heard from one end of the country to the other when he intro duced profit sharing" in his shops. Not only would he ruin himself, but he would de- stroy American industry, declared some cap tains of industry.
 But these men have been proved in the wrong. Ford didn't fail. He made money for himself and his worlmen. His factories be- came models of their kind. And those men who were strongest in condemning him have been forced to adopt many of his innovations in order to compete with him in his own line.
 He applied common sense to making au- tomobiles and succeeded. He standardized his product and made fortune It is not un- reasonable to believe that he could standardize Hungarian industries, counting of course up- on hearty cooperation from those concerned, and place them upon basis for competitive manufacturing and production.

WHAT NEXT!

Some wealthy women, says Thursdays telegraph news, are financing Bolshevism in the United States, according to reports re- ceived at the state department. What will they do next!
 When the war was on they could give charity teas, lawn fetes bazaars and hundreds of other things which, while seldom accom- plishing much, did give them an opportunity to spend some money and kept them out ot mischief
 Several years ago, pet poodles, monkeys, and other freakish animals satisfied their craving for excitement Later came the dance craze and the cabaret fever. None of this did any real harm to the nation. Their ac- tions concerned themselves only since they alone were affected thereby.
 But if the reports of their financial as- sistance to the Bolsheviki propagandists in the United States are based upon facts, it will prove to be another matter. No one minded them catering to long g-haired Bohemian poet or futurist exponent of the drama. That was only a diversion, but when they begin to furn- ish funds to an organization which has for its purpose the destruction of all organized government as it now exists, when some of them supply money to spread Bolshevism among the Negroes of the south, it is time to call halt. The naturalization of women, a Bolsheviki doctrine, may appeal to some rich women, but to the average woman it is too disgusting to even be mentioned much less thot ot. Such women as are said to be mix ed up with Bolshevism in the United States should be sent to Russia as present to Len inc and his followers.

Casey in. vested several thousand dollars in his venture and appears to be we'll satisfied with his investment.
 A recent rumor to the effect that Mir. Casey had succumbed to the rav- ages of the influenza epidemic is set at rest by the receipt of the let. ter and all his friends will be glad accordingly. He states that he is receiving his copy of The Citizen quite regularly and Is kept well in. formed as to the happenings in his former home town.

tial will be received all over the country with approval. The evils which now exist in the system, and which have existed for years, are overdue to be corrected.
 This matter was brot up in congress at the last session and was strongly condemned. A resolution to rectify what wrongs may have been done under the present system to 22,OOO men was introduced in the senate and house. Its author was Senator McKellar. It provides for boards to assemble the records of these cases and reopen them with view of seeing just how far justice has been abused.
 The last paragraph declares, And it shall be their (the boards') duty, whenever the justice of the case may require it, to change, reverse, alter, mitigate, set aside, an martial convened during the present war"
 Commenting upon the situation, the New York Globe declares, That gross injustice has been done ill many cases there is no ques- tion." It bases its assertion upon testimony given before the senate military affairs com mittee which it declares showed shocking state of affairs, in fact if it were not for the records of the war department to prove it, it would be unbelievable
 In light of General Ansells testimony there is no question but what many wrongs have been done under harsh military courts in the past. The proposal of Senator Nickel lar would right those committed during the war, but there is no way in which the wrongs done in years before this can be righted.
 The matter, however, should not be al- lowed to die. The future should be provided for so that injustice may not again be visited General AnSell IS thoroughly familiar with General Ansell is throoughly familiar with military law and proceedings. He, by virtue of his former position as judge advocate gen. eral of the army, should be able to suggest legislation which will wipe out all the evils of the present system and if he does not do so he will have failed to do his full duty

CORRECTED? NOT WE!

No matter how much we may endeavor to do so, it just seems as tho The Citizen can't run its editorial column to suit the benevolent old gentleman who writes the editorials for that great family journal" the News-Miner. Something always creeps in that he doesn't approve of and it keeps us on the move all the time.

THE GERMAN MIND

The strenuous objection offered by Ger many to the demand of the peace conference that Polish troops be allowe to land at Dan zig and the reported activities of the German military authorities in strengthening the for tifications of the Baltic port indicate that there is still feeling turnout Hunland that they are in position to renew the struggle against the allies if it should become neces- sary. It is evident that the idea of German military supremacy is not yet driven from the minds of perhaps the majority of Ger mans.
 An American army officer, in a recent article dealing with the state of mind prevail ing in Germans, published in the intelligence summary of the American army of occupation at Coblenz, says:
 "The German feels, first and foremost, his army was not only unbeaten but had all the military prestige of the war. Then he knew that there was increasing scarcity of victuals at home, and feeling that the allies were in mortal dread of new drives by the German army and would be only too glad to proposed an armistice. .
 Germany expected all the world to sup ply her gladly with all her needs and, as a mark of good faith to encourage the allies, of fered to allow them to advance to the Rhine. Now the Germans affect to wonder why Ger many is not completely supplied by the allies and why the garrisons having been allowed to see the Rhine scenery do not withdraw.
