To formulate a comprehensive Opln-
lin on how food prices can be reduced
man would need ito be practical
farmer, to be educated in scientific az
riculture, and to have had much eA-
perience as large business organlz-
er. The present writer claims no sucn
advantages. But any practical obserV-
er can see important particulars IN
which farming is not organized on the
basis that has reduced production
costs in other lines of effort.

ARMY MAIL SERVICE

That the coast towns ill both soltl- eastern and southwestern Alaska are In fair way of getting an aerial mail service thru the efforts of army air service officials, even tho such service does not immediately touch the interior, is cause for qualification to us all Such a service will be but the first step in the establishment of an aerial service all over Alaska.
 Once it is in operation, the hardest part will have been overcome, and 1t should not be difficult to secure extension from time to time as they may become necessary or be deemed advisable. In fact the logical development of such service should, with in the space of few years, bring relief to remote Alaskan points in connection with present mail service conditions
 The proposed service will indirectly benefit the interior of Alaska by cutting down the present time required for mai transportation. It should be more frequent and regular than the service now main tained by coast steamship companies and make us independent of their whims in mail matters.
 In letter received by The Citizen a few weeks ago from the Alaska Aircraft Transportation Co.,, of Seattle, it was stated that that corporation intended to inaugur- ate an aerial service between Valdez and Fairbanks, the first trip possibly coming sometime next February. If that venture proves to be success, and there is no req son why it should not, it should be easily possible for arrangements to be made with the army service for connections and give the interior districts service from Seattle shorter than ever dreamed of before Re made in the cross-the-continent derby and return over the same route, prove that the proposed service is not only possible but would be easy of accomplishment.

GERMANY NEEDS RAW MATERIALS
 FOR INDUSTRY

LElPSlC,-tBy MaiD D--Robert S Schmidt, Germany's food and eco homie minister in a speech at the Lsipsic Fair said Germany was "sicI; torials and fuel"
 During my visit to the Fair build ings." he said, T heard constant con- p'aints about the lack of coal We have the workers and we have the orders in plenty, VIC can easily get millions. even billions of orders. But when I asked each individual cvhi- hitor why he did not accept orders he replied invariably that he lacked raw waterfall and fuel It is true that every effort is being made to force Germany back into an inferior place. not in the usual way of competition but thru political methods. German trade however. will build it's way in world trade for no power can prevent the hunger for goods where it can be advantageously satisfied.
 People are accusing Us of again having recourse to the dumping sys- tenn We do not merit this accusa- ton. and mutt deny it most onergct ically. have the hope that in spite of all hindcrances We will soon climb up to prosperity if work and construc- tive power, raw materials anu coal are placed at our disposal in sufficient quantities.
 We need the world market. The pressure will be removed from Ger many, and we will get credit abroad. We must be convinced that we are again to climb. This people is not to be destroyed economically. If all energies revive I hope that we are not at the end of our rope, but that the German people will overcome these sad days and that the joyful times will come again. 1 am build ing on the never failing creative pow CT of our industry, our technique, art and science"

RACING
 CRAZE STRIKES
 MERRY ENGLAND

LONDON. N.-R)-There is more bet ting than ever on horse racing thru out England. according to one of the leading London bookmaking firms, as tho every one was trying to make up for the wartime period when racing as well as betting was suspended.
 "It is not only that more people are betting" said the head of the concern" but they are wagering larger sums The small man who used to have his tanner on a race now risks his shilling or half crown, while the clubman who formerly was content to wager a sovereign not bets flyer.
 'I have been in business for 35 years, and have never made such books as this year over the derby and other classics.
 Another point about present day betting," continued the bookmaker, lis the number of women who back horses. Fifteen years ago don't think we had a dozen women GUS toners. Now we have hundreds. I don't know where they get their information, but some of the biggest checks we have drawn this year have been for women.
 "They nearly always pay too, when they lose. Of course, we get an oc- casional defaulter, as we do among our men customers. But take them all around they are just as sporting over the business as any of the men we have on our books"

ROOSEVELT AND TREVELYAN" IS
 SECOND PAPER COVERING LIFE
 0FF0RMER AMERICAN PRESIDENT

Colonel Roosevelt, in what was 7rotaly one of his last letters to Sir George in 1918, referred to the fact that his four sons and a son-in-law were fighting for the allies. After sefcrring to them in terms of affcc- tion and that he would not for any thing "have them anywhere else," he conluded: q fear we would welcome their reurn home, each with an arm CT leg off, so that they could feel that they had played their parts man. fnlly,-and yet We could have them back"

the coal strike Is the effect it will have on individual life and personal comfort of mil lions of people turnout the country. With the lockout less than one week old, already there are indications of what may be ex- pected from an extended strike.
 The average town is seldom if ever able to acquire fuel stocks sufficient to lay away a reserve supply large enough to cover full season. It depends, as rule, on weekly shipments to keep the current demands filled and at times simple block ade on railway Ines of supply has been known to exhaust visible supplies in few days.
 Empty coal bins mean darkness, cold, and endless suffering. With darkness comes increased crime and with cold is sickness and misery. likeness too is involv- ed for many besides the strikers, and for the enforced idle there is no benefits to accrue Industries, save those which are vital must close down to conserve supplies of fuel for public consumption and indus tries of greater importance. As the store of supplies become less even the more i'm portant plants must close including light and power plants,
 The curtailment of passenger train ser vice indicates the threat the strike has for transportation. It does not mean that the railways are already short of coal but that it is taking precautions against shortage by cutting down its fuel consumption to a minimum If the strike should continue for a period of several weeks, every bunker of coal saved now may be instrumental in preserving hundreds of lives.
 It is the danger of suffering and pri- vation to the general public rather than in rioting and mobs of strikers that the real menace of the strike seems to lie. So far there has been little or no disorder. This is probably largely the result of the non-oper- ation of the mines. What might be the re- suit if the operators should attempt to i'm port large bodies of non-union workmen to reopen the unionized mines is matter of pure conjecture, but it is safe to conclude from trouble that has followed similar eff forts in other labor disputes that a general Ireopening of the mines could not be accom- plished without at least minimum of con- Iflict.

GERMANS WOULD
 TEACH YANKEES
 "HOW TO FICHT''

BERLIN.-(By Ma1D D-The Spanish embassy in Berlin which is in charge of American affairs pending the rati- fication of the peace treaty has re- ceived so many applications from reg ular German army officers who want to serve in the American army that it has posted a big sign on the outer door announcing that such applica- tions will not be accepted and that it is useless to apply. The number of applicants since has gradually de creased but still there are some.
 Some of those seeking commissions in the American army urged that they could be of value in teaching the Americans how to fight"
 There has been a rush also of Ger man officers to join other former enemy or neutral armies. The appli- cants were ready to serve in either the American, British. Japanese, Ar gentine or even the French forces.
 Every correspondent in Germany, regardless of his nationality has been bombarded with queries and personal applications. In vain did they assure the officers that their armies would under no circumstances accept Ger. man officers. In vain the explanation was made that all the entente armies were overburdened with officers and were making every effort to demobo- lize them. Argentine has become more or less the mecca of the would be emigrants from Germany because it has advertised thru it's consulate for agricultural laborers and has offer ed Inducements in the way of free land. However, those who want most to leave Germany want least to go to farming. For those who really want to take up agriculture the Ar gentine invitation is still attractive.
 Others determined to reach the United States by a round about route sees in Argentine an opportunity to realize their ambition by first going to Argentine and then taking a chance of going on to the United States.
 Those who contemplate this ruse overlook the possibility of trouble both in Argentine and the first American port they reach. A young German woman sat in Berlin hotel lobby last night telling her companions in a voice loud enough for by-stand- CTS to hear that she intended to get to America thru the Argentine route if necessary by swearing that she had been in the United States before. She admitted that this was untrue but added that little white lie could do no harm"
 Many German writers on immi- grafton urge that Germany can i'll spare a single man, the taxes he pays or the labor he does. They also
 oint out that hotel keepers of Bel gium and Italy have resolved not to employ Germans for 10 years and that 5 years must elapse before the Ger man may live in China or Singapore. They declare that the American work men will oppose German immigration to the utmost because of the possible effect of wages and say similar inimical spirit exists in Australia and other British dominions.

STAY IN ALASKA

To those recent employees of the AL askan Engineering commission lately re- leased and preparing to go to the states, The Citizen urges, don't. Today is the least likely of all time for even a temporary so- journ on the Outside, conditions badly un- settled there as the present show no prom ise of becoming better during the winter and it is rather expected that they will be aggravated still more before spring.
 Under such circumstances, living in al- most any interior Alaska town is cheaper than in the states. The amount of cash it will require to make visit to the states and return to the North will easily pay the living expenses of that same person in Fairbanks until the time comes when plenty of work will be obtainable as spring construction work opens.
 In fact there is no country anywhere one can live so economically. Cabins are plentiful and rent for moderate prices. Homegrown vegetables may be obtained almost for song. Game for meat is not hard to get, nor expensive when purchased on the market. Prices on food and clothing are cheaper right here in Fairbanks than on the Pacific coast for comparative values and actually lower in many individual in stances.
 Next spring when work opens up there is going to be big demand for men. Every industry is going to need employees and it now appears as if some of them are going to suffer for lack of workers. Every man lacking retards our development by just so much.
 We realize that this is hard country in which to endure idleness. But there isn t man who will remain in for the three months or so of unemployment, probably not that long, who will not be better off than those who make the trip to the states and the former will be on the ground floor when the best jobs are being filled and stands chance of getting the pick of the lot.

WF SHE WENT TO NENANA.'

With apologies to o. Lee Margarine ) If the dainty little tourist Who lately struck your town Would drop in at Nenana We will not pipe her gown. We would not make remarks about The color of her nose And we would scorn to cast a glance Athwart her little toes. We have some high class mashers
 here But none would so be so bold To meet this lady on the street And tell her she looked cold. We'll show her down our market
 street And then bring her up A. She need not fear that John will Raap When she goes to the hay. We'll protect that wandering chicken So determined to be good We would not pluck a feather; Wouldn't harm her if we could. But if she tries to lock her door And tells Fred Douse the glim We'll pO and pat Tim Hapon And have them both run in.

BULGARIAN TERMS

Bulgaria s reluctance to sign the peace terms are easily understandable when the loss they entail is realized. It is estimated that each of her 2OOOOOO inhabitants must pay annually six dollars head for period of thirty seven years in order to clear off the war fine assessed by the council
 The treaty provides that Bulgaria must:
 Pay damages of $445,OOO,OOO in thirty-seven years;
 Reduce her standing army to 10000 and her gendarmerie to 10000 men;
 Surrender her warships and sub- marines to the allies;
 Cede western Thrace to the allies, to be disposed of as they shall deter mine;
 in favor of Serbia;
 Recognize the independence of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, now com prised in Jugo-Slavia;
 Compensate Jugo-Slavia for stolen coal, by delivering 5O,OOO tons annually for five years;
 Renounce the treaties of Brest- Litovosk and Bucharest.
 That these are rather harsh terms to impose on so small nation at Bulgaria is conceded. But it must be remembered that the Bulgars, or their official leaders, after mature and deliberate consideration, threw themselves into the war on the side of the Teutonic powers without any ex- cuse for making war; They sold their sword to the Germanic allies because they believ- ed that Germany would win and would be better able to reward Bulgaria than would the entente. Whatever consideration due to an honorable foe however mistaken ii cause might have been does not enter into this case.
 It is true that the former Bulgarian king and his prime minister might have been responsible for the war in the main but his subjects seem to have willingly fol lowed his leadership. In losing it is not sufficient punishment that that king should lose his official head and his kingdom, but his former subjects as accomplices after the deed must join in payment for the losses caused by their part in the war.
