IL was her first morning in the teem- ing metropolis the dream city of her life for the last ten of her one-and- twenty years. The eddying crowds on the can yoned stream of motor cars on the con- gested avenues; the glttering shops which she had passed on her way to the boarding house recommended by her friend back in the home town, formed exactly the kaleidoscope which Jane had pictured in her own mind long before she left the little village of Fernbank.
 It was all so stupendous, during that first breathless, lonely walk from the big railroad station, aided by her many in quiries of the broad-shouldered, amiable policemen at busy corners, that Jane still felt it all dream, until at least she reached the address on cross street in the upper Thirties. There she was brought to earth by the extremely mat ter of fact manner of Mrs. Selden, pro- prietor of the boarding house.

.R|ALT0 SHOWS ALICE. BRADY IN "REDHEAD'
Beautiful Stars Latest Pro- duction To Be Seen Here
 This Week

'Redhead," Alice Brady's latest pie lure will be the feature attraction this week at the Rialto theatre.
 It is the story of a wealthy young man. a good -for-nothng, who marries Dazie, alias "Redhead," when they are both under the influence of liquor. She proceeds to make a man of him and de- spite much opposition she succeeds in doing it.
 One of the novel feature of this pie ture is the unique marriage ceremony. Matthew Thurlow, the man-about- town, asks Dazie to marry him on bet, when they are at a small dinner party in one of New York's gayest restau- rants, where Dazie is a star entertain CT, Dolly Gard, friend of Thurlow's and justice of the peace maries them. In a noisy restauront with walters running to and fro, surrounded by an ippumerable numbe CT of strange people Matt and Dazie are united in marriage.
 Miss Brady is especially fine in the role she portrays. She is alive and trobbing and depicts splendidly the life of the cabaret girl, whom no one be- leves to be decent, just because she is a cabaret girl It does not require much imag gination to follow the inner thoughs of Dazie. Miss Brady makes you see the heartache she bears-the greatest heartache in the world-that of loving a man and not being loved in return. You feel with her the pride she feels in her oldfashioned country parents and the happiness at last of learning that she is loved. She is ably supported by Conrad Nagel and an ex- celllent cast.

 A slisht limp in blue herons seems to be rather common. due to the fact, it is said. that one leg is frequently shorter than the other from the habit of using but one to stand on. You frequently hear people pity poor. lame heron' that is probably quite unconscious of any need for pity. They used to pity the mother who limped out with her one long-legged offspring from the fringe of woods along the Ham Branch at twilight, seeking, per haps, some sort of food in the meadow. though it had all the appearance of an evening stroll. However, when anybody attempted to walk down across the meadow and get near the couple, the poor. lame thing" displayed an agility that was remarkable. and so did the off spring. She was quite willing to be a decorative touch to the lovely interval la andscape. from afar; but she had no intention of allowing what the motion pie lures describe as a "close up.

THERE WAS NO MUTINY

It is pleasing to have the direct statement of tn officer in command, that there mutiny upo the part of American soldiers at Murmansk last Apri as reported The reports rushed through b Bolshevists and were not The foundation fo the report based upon the refusal of prlVat to load truck when ordered to do by sergean it developing later that the private was Polish DC who did not understand the command In con mentng upon the erroneous report, the officer command in this countr, says:
 q have, rhad long experience in the army and do not recall ever having American soldier who did want to get into fight They aiway said Lead me it. and went to it.
 Whenever there has been trouble with America soldiers it has been due to the fact that there wa no fighting at hand. Our soldiers become rest1V and rather hard control at times when lyin around a camp with prospect of getting into at ton It was the when the boys were bein sent abroad those who were left behind were rest less and impatient and did a good deal of complain ing But no organization in the whole army shove the slightest resentment at orders that carried tc ward the front
 And now that the fighting is in Europ, with no prospect whatever of further action, the sol diers are again restive and dissatisfied. They wan to come home now that the is ended. But trouble were to break again, they would resen being ordered home they would then be restles to get back to the front Most of the boys who hay returned from will tell you that they hay had enough of war-and they have But if the me of this nation called upon today to voluntee for actual and immediate fighting, these same fellow who have had enough of would be the first t rush to the colors

Grigsby, who elected Delegate to Congress at the special cleo ion. Politically, the Times is opposed to MT Mur- )hy. Personally, the Times is glad of the oppor unity afforded to few words of commendaton n his behalf.
 The Attorney General is old-time Alas He knows Alaska and he is loyal friend of his vast uneXpoited region He is here by his own choice. He did with fat job in his pocket, to depart from whence he with the aspiration of term of office. From successful practice in the States, MT. Murphy did u this vocation when he first to Alaska. He he North hland-he took pack his broad back md endured the hardshps, the privatops, the weari toll of the prospector.

 In assuming the Attorney -Generalship, MT Mur phy steps into of the most important offices ir Alaska.

THE POLITICIANS AND THE TREATY

The politicians have they way of figuring With them it is not much the merit of an issue IS the expediency of t-not so much question ot whether a certain proposition Is right or wrong, as whether it will inure to the good of the party. The reaty of peace with its attendant League of Ma ions will prove no exception to the rule
 may therefore be accepted fact that the reaty will be ratified by the United States Senate few minor reservations may be included, mean ngless in their effort, but sufficient to afford oophoe for those have been vociferous in their lenunciations of it.
 The politicians will figure it this way: If it is ,ot approved by the Senate, and something happens n Europe then it will be said that it would have lappened if the treaty had been adopted. And if it ratified then whatever follows will be laid at the loor of the treaty. If trouble comes, those who at leart oppose the treaty easily say, "Oh, well;
 knew the trouble would come if the treaty were atfied, but you would have it that way or words O that effect.
 The plain, cold truth is, no man knows what effect this treaty of peace is going to have The ,bIes men of the world divided in their opinions lpon the subject. But there is nothing else to do put to ratify it. and hope for the best.

WYCKOFFS HERE
 TO GET FACTS
 ABOUT ALASKA
Publishers and Owners of the Wall Street Journal Spending a Few Days
 in This City

That women can make their place and name in the world-evcn in the financial world something which has always been very vague and mys terious to women-is the belief of Mrs R. D. Wychoff of New York who, with, her husband, is spending a few days in Juneau.
 Mir and Mrs Wychoff are owners of the Wall Street Magazine, the largest financial paper published Mrs. Wychoff, proving that her be- lief in women is not idle, is business manager and secretary and treasurer of their company-the only woman to occupy such a position on a fin ancial paper in the country.
 "One of the things our paper wishes to do, is to make people, young men especially, realize the value of a study of finance" Mrs Wychoff remarked. Just now it is one of the important things before the country. With a knowledge of finance, comes the ability to make proper investments, and if one makes proper investments during his life, he need not be dependent for his living upon a salary when he has reached old or middle age. If we could help make more men independent we feel we would be doing a wonderful thing for the country as well as the peo- ple."
 Intensely interested in Alaska and it's development, Mrs. Wychoff said she believed in the future of the country. 'It needs men and women with ability to work with vision and practicability," she said.
 Mir. and Mrs. Wychoff desire to get information regarding Alaska, it's rail roads and various developments. They are interested in Alaska and desire to learn more of Alaska that, because of their close connection with the financial world, they may interest others in the country.
