WOMEN SERVANTS ARE
 STILL SCARCE IN ENGLAND

LONDON, April 1.-Demobilizati is returning men servants to England in ever increasing numbers and the wealthy householder has no difficulty now in hiring butler, footman, groom, chaffeur or page boy. The shortage of women servants, however daily become more acute. Unlike the women, the men have no objection to returning to their old indoor domestic jobs. The reason. according to a West End employment agency man. ager. IS that the male indoor servant is chosen mainly for decorative pur- poses -the women do the work.
 Parlor maids are now demanding the salary of trained typist. Some are highly particular about hours, quality ofFfpod and conditions of em- sployment. One notified an agency she would work only from 3 to5, with time of tor meals. \

CREATNESS0F
 ALASKASHOWN
 YCHEECHAKO

Rockwell Kent gives the following praise to Alaska in the Seward Gate way:
 To go from the Eastern States to the West is like opening your window to fresh air; to leave the Western States and enter Alaska Is to step at once straight out of doors. Here in this great, resourceful, unpeopled country there is the freedom that the crowded world is fighting for. You have that, native and growing wild, which states : men will forever with all their wis dom in the contrivance and piling up of laws fail to achieve. The freedom of a country that is big enough for every man to walk alone on his own path, the freedom that comes from men having their own work to do in their own way, that, by Heaven, is what you still have here in Alaska and that you should clinch for all time against the dangers that the changes and growth of the future will produce. You have a manhood in this land that is rare, men who are here because by their initiative and force they differed from the rest of men. These are the men who are fit to lay down the foun- dations of state and it is they who should determine the destiny of Alaska.
 What concern is it of yours what has been done outside This is new country and it should from the very start be animated by finer spirit and trucr ideals than the world outside has ever known. Unless the child be better than his parents progress has stepped. st
 A citize1ry more fitted for self de- termination or more deserving of un- limited freedom in their own lives will never again be in this territory. The mass of mef the world around are sheep; here all men are leaders Every law that limits their freedom in their own affairs is tyranny.
 It's getting late to start your cul- tivation of freedom. Dry rot and con tamination from without are already at it's roots. Unless you choke it now it will overwhelm you, and with the influx of new thousands from the crowded States your strong freedom will vanish under the trival culture of lesser men. The man who forces abstinence upon his neighbor, the man who hopes for the registering and ticketing of free citizens, the amaetur 4sleuth skillful in all business but his own, all these are already among you, militarists in lambs clothing! There's a menace of Kaiserism in democracy, and that's the danger even here. A free people will build it's jails for med dlers.
 In giving you this praise and criti- cism of an outsider it is with no claim to knowledge of conditions here. These are impressions of Alaska upon senses that are new to. it. The vast wilderness of Alaska, the glory of what is free in it's life, and above all its strong, freedom-loving manhood show the land fit to be the foundation of great, free state. It is the only lard that have ever known to which I have wanted to return.

WILSON RETURNS TO
EUROPE NEXT WEEK
AFTER BRIEF STAY
HERE, WILL RESUME WORK AT
PEACE CONFERENCE.

President Wilson, who arrived In
Boston Monday from attendance upon
the peace conference at Paris, plans
to return to Europe next week imme-
diately after the adjournment of con-
gress next Tuesday evening.
After delivering public address at
Boston Monday, where he was well
coined home with tremendous Ova-
ton, the president hurried on to
Washington, d. c., where he has since
representatives on the league cove
nant and various legislative matters
pending in congress.
A cabinet meeting, at which the
league covenant was discussed in de-
tail and the president explained the
views of himself and the other Amer
ican delegates at the peace conference
in respect to its provisions, was held
Tuesday evening. Wednesday even
ing he entertained the members or
the foreign relations committee of tho
senate at dinner, going into details
regarding the covenant with them.
So far Senators Poindexter, Borah
and Reed have delivered addresses at
tacking the league, and Senator Hitch
cock, chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee, has spoken in favor
of 1t. While majority Of the sena-
tors are reported to be in favor OF
ratifying the plan, 1t is said to be
doubtful whether it would be ap-
proved now by the required two-thirds
vote. A steady tide in its favor IL
noted, however.
President Wilson. in discussing tho
league with members of congress ana
also at conference, with newspaper
correspondents, expresses confidence
in the success of the plan. He has
expectation of the conclusion of peace
within few months and in this con-
nection has said territorial adjust
ments presented the most delicate
problem remaining. Work on all
other questions, he has stated, is rap
idly nearing completion by the COM
missions appointed to handle it.
The president is emphatic in ex-
pressing his belief that In no particu-
lar does the proposed constitution of
the league conflict with the American
constitution or with the Monroe doc
trine. He has in mind only one
amendment. designed to clarity the
clause dealing with enforcement OF
territorial decrees.
He has announced that he will not
address congress before It adjourns
and will not ask any formal expree-
sion from the senate on the league at
this time.
Mr.. Wilson Is said to have indi-
Gated that he was reluctant to reopen
the league constitution before the
peace conference. He is represented
Is feeling that with the document ~
I, Sroved unanimously by IA powesy
after many weeks deliberations 4
would be inadvisable to reopen the
negotiations unless changes proposed
are fundamental. The change he has
in mind was not so classed by the ex-
ecutive.

START DRIVE FOR
100000 HOTEL HERE

BE CONDUCTED BY 10
COMMITTEES.

Ten committees of three men each,
under the general direction of j. l..
Peters as chairman, will start on a
whirlwind campaign next week to sell
stock in a 100000 company, to be
known as the Olympia Hotel COM
pany, for the erection of modern
fire-proof hotel in this city of 100
rooms.
Plans for the campaign were dis
cussed at meeting Tuesday evening
at the Chamber of Commerce, and
final arrangements were concluded az
a meeting of the committeeman Fri.
day night Enthusiasm in support OF
Peters expects to close the drive by
the middle of March.
The need for a new and modern
hotel in Olympia is appreciated by all
it's residents and the committeeman
anticipate hearty cooperation in the
plan. Details as to the site, plans for
the hotel, contracts and the like, viii
be determined later by the officers
placed in charge of the company's
affairs by the stockholders, as soon as
the company is financed.
The plan under which the new COM
pany is operating calls for ownership
of the site and building by the local
company. the old plan of donating a
site to outsiders to erect the building
having been abandoned. The stock
is confidently expected to pay sub
stantial rate of interest. whether the
local company operates the hotel
direcly or leases it.
The company will issue 5000
shares of a par value of 500 each
and the payments for the stock will
be spread over a period of year by
series of instalments. The commit
teemen are starting out with the de-
termination of disposing Of the entire
issue, SO that the company will OWL

that he had made no sacrifice as yet
and calmly responded to the call for
blood.
Now that it is all over, when asked
to give an account of himself. Private
Hume merely grins and says he is
glad to be back home. And 1t takes
some diplomatic coaxing to get any
more than that out of him.

said:

they can't tell me that There was
no bluffing there. Each OF us knew
just how all the rest of us felt about

back and sternly peered into what
looks like blank space to us stay-at-
