AlhuS people nave thought lIldl
the mere signing Of the treaty with
Germany marks the ending of the
world peril, The situation today is
still serious, The worlds statesman
ship will be sorely tried in the next
few years
The peace conference has been
historys greatest instance of a uni
fed world craftsmanship directing
the moral and material resources of
the worlds family of nations To al
low the spirit behind 1t to dlslntegrate
at this moment of emergency, when
united action Is imperative, would be
fatal to all the hopes Of permanent
peace with which we entered the war.
"Out OF Il all has come the most
important International document
ever drawn-the treaty of peace with
Germuny--a document which not only
meets the issues of the present war,
but also lays down new agreements
of the most helpful and most hopeful
character. The nations are bound to.
gether 10 avert another world catas.
frOphe, backward peoples are given
new hope for their future; several
racial entities are liberated to form
new states; a beginning is mnde to-
ward removing unjust economic re
strictons, and the great military au
docracies Of central Europe are de
strUyed as the first step In q general
disarmament
The treaty is, Of course. not all
that we had hoped for. Too many
conflicting interests were involved.

DISTRICT COURT

After months trip to Kusko vim river points, Judge c. E. Bunnell re convened the Special June 1919 Term of the District Court at Flat on Tues day, July b. With the assistance o: Clark k. Peck, as jury commissioner. and F. Bascom Hali, clerk of court, a grand jury and list of petit jurors were duly drawn. The grand jury commenced operations on Thursday night of last week (July 24), and was discharged by the court last Monday night.
 Several cases on the civil docket of the court have received attention dur ing past two weeks. but among the 'whole caboodle" of them there was not cause of sufficient importance to attract and hold widespread public at tentlon for any length of time, although they doubtless meant great deal to the parties directly concerned
 AS to the criminal docKet the reverse is the situation of affairs, as there are several Cases that attract considerable attention. Among them is the re-trial of AIOis Huber. who was convicted at Fiat last summer of killing his mining partner in mixup on their workings near the kuskokwim river. Indict- ments were returned against both par tici cipantS in d cut-and-sIa ash affair be. tween two men (Maki and Salo) of Ophir camp. The scrap is re ported to have taken place several weeks ago on the hlgnway between Flat and Ophir camps, lar far away from any other persons. "A true bill" charging John Novak. a former empioye of the Yukon Gold Company, with 'lifting' quan- litv of anna gam belonging to the com pany, w;.s also returned by the grand jury.

Too Low.

Washington.-Fair price committees
throughout the country were informed
by Attorney General Palmer that their
activities were not expected In any
wise to include sanction for raising
prices above present levels.
Reports that in few places com.
mittees cooperating with the Depart
ment of Justice in the governments
effort to reduce the cost of living had
advanced charges to consumers
caused an official circular to be pre-
pared making 1t clear that such a
step had no approval from Washing
ton.
"The purpose of this campaign is to
reduce the cost Of living, not to in.
crease it," the circular said Fair
price committees should not at any
place or under any circumstances in.
crease prices. II in the judgment OF
the committee a price is too low II
should not be touched. 1t is only
prices which are too high with which
we are concerned"
Assistant Attorney General Ames, in
charge Of the administration OF the
fod control law, said there were only
few places where prices had been
advanced. Mr.. Palmer's circular, made
public by Judge Ames, likewise gave
instructions as to the basis Of cost to
be used in determining fair prices.
"In ascertaining what is a reason
able charge" the circular said, "the
original cost is the one factor to be
considered, the replacement value is
another, and all the facts and circum
stances surrounding the transaction
are proper elements entering into the
problem. Fair price committees must
use their best judgment in such cases
without narrowing the question to any
one factor"
Jurisdiction will be taken over wear
ing apparel as well as food and fuel.

MINERS RETURN TO HOMES

Charleston, w. Va.-The several
thousand miners who took up march
across country with the avowed pur.
pose Of forcing non-union miners in
Logan county to organize, we're pre-
vailed upon to desist in their efforts
after almost hourly telephone confer
ences between Gov. Cornwell in this
city and Frank Keeney, president Of
District II, United Mine Workers. The
men were started back to their homes
from Danville and Clothier at which
points they had camped over night.
They were brought back in special
trains sent to the rendezvous by the
governor, and the union officials said
that all will return to work.
The men had taken up the march
without instructions or counsel with
President Keeney. False rumors and
reports infIamed the miners. Some OF
the reports were that women and
children were being murdered by mine
guards in Logan county

was called upon by the governor to go
