KENNETH MILLER NOW DIRECTING Y. M. C. A. FOR
 THE CZECHO SLOVAKS

CHELIABINSK, RUSSIA, May r. Kenneth Miller, formerly head of the John Huss settlement at New York city, is now directing an American Young Mems Christian Association en- terprise at Cheliabinsk which is great ly appreciated by the Czecho-Slovak troops. Having lived in Bohemia he knows what best pleases the Czech army and so he established sausage factory and bakery. The sausage fac tory is turning out tons of sausage and does business of 300,000 rubles monthly. The work is done by twenty five German and Austrian prisoners.
 Every day the bakery is making eight thousand of the rolls so popular in Prague. Everything is sold at cost. In this practical manner, Mir. Miller has made good" with the Bohemians and people generally. It was at Che liabinsk that the Czech-Slovak troops inaugurated their campaign against the Bolsheviki and Magyars..

FACTS ABOUT SEWARD

Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay, midway of the coast line of the Gulf of Alaska and l6O miles from route of the Pacific steamers to the Orient.
 The various trade routes of the North Pacific Ocean and all the roads and highways and trails and mountain passes from the interior converge at this point much as nature had anticipated the need of gateway through which the trade and travel of great region might find convenient passage.
 The deep, perfectly protected harbor presents an ob' long surface embracing forty square miles, upon which any ship that floats may sail in safety at any tme and which in appearance suggests nothing much as beauti- full inland lake.
 The mainland and shores of Resurrection supply ann pie space perfect topography for the building of city of whatever extent future needs may develops and this cir cumstance added to its natural position gateway to the interior the freedom from ice at all seasons of the harbOr and adjacent waters lead the to select this port as the terminal for the railroad The un limited coal and oil and mineral resources of Alaska will flow through this port to enter the of the world and in return will the supplies for distribution over territory greater in extent than many state combined thus making it the great port of the North Pacific the NEW YORK OF ALASKA.

GREAT PROFITS MADE IN COAL
 IN ENGLAND

LONDON, MAY 17-- By A. P.- Testimony concerning enormous pro- fits made by various British collieries was given at the inquiry of the Coal Mines Commission by Albert Emil Davies, general manager of the Bank ing Corporation and a writer on fin ance and economies. He stated that 1 1000 pounds invested in 1903 in shar' es, then quoted at par, of a certain company would have earned dividends equal to about 500 pounds and would now be salable at $500 pounds.
 In the case of another company hc said that "for the ten years ended in 1918 the dividends paid were equiva- lent to about 243 percent of the in creased capital, or over 300 percent or the actual capital
 The witness said that in most cases the extent of profits in coal had beer obscured by the capitalization of re' serves or rather readjustments of cap. ital.
 "By these methods and by divi- dendS," he testified, "the most success full companies are able to return tc their shareholders every few years the whole of the share capital originally subscribed by them"
The Seward gateway daily edition, and the Alaska weekly post., 1919-05-17

Mir. Davis said that if the coal re- serves of the country were pooled, the enormous profits made and partially concealed by the large companies would be available to meet part, at least, of any additional working costs that might be necessary, and that the incentive to build up reserves for sub sequent distribution, which obscured the enormous profits actually being made, would disappear.

The Monticellonian., 1919-01-17

A food map of Europe today shows not single country in which the fu- ture does not hold threat of serious difficulties and only q small part which is not rapidly approaching the famine point. With the exception of the Ukraine only those countries which have maintained marine commerce have sufficient food supplies to meet actual needs until next harvest, and even in the Ukraine, with stores accu- mulated on the farms, there is famine in the large centers of population.
 Belgium and northern France. as well as Serbia. appear on the hunger map distinct from the rest of Europe because they stand in different rela- ton from the other nations to the peo- pie of the United States. America has for four years maintained the small war rations of Belgium and northern France and Is already making special efforts to care for their increased after-the-war needs, which, with those of Serbia, must be included in this plan, are urgent In the extreme and must have immediate relief.
 The gratitude of the Belgian nation for the help America has extended to her during the war constitutes the strongest appeal for US to continue our work there. The moment the German armies withdrew from her soil and she was established once more in her own

F..1ik 1. .-4 G.t.t.1gtl for aa tiila vast sock of poison gas, and 1t Is going to be a problem what to do with 1t. The factories in this country are now wrestling with this problem. It is feared that if 1t is released into the air 1t might cause death or injury to millions of people. If turned into the streams it would kill all the fish and cause untold damage in other ways. The best thing proposed is to devise ways to convert the gas into chemicals which can be utilized in the industries. There will be a big waste connected with the matter in any case, as the gas has cost a lot of money, and even if 1t was turned into some useful product most of its value will have to be sacrificed.

LAW AND OBEDIENCE.

From the time the angels sang,
 Peace, goodwill to men, great and noble minds have striven to perfect q system by which men, races and nations might live in harmony and good will toward one another, but its in the begin hing of this good year 1919, that 1t is the all absorbing thought and work of the greatest and brainest men of the world to eff feet that system. The world has been drenched with blood be- cause the leaders in Germany assumed that they were THE people and that wisdom would die with them They aspired to conquer the world by beating down the truth, that all men are by right equal under the law. They would use force to make themselves master of the billions of the world and enslave them. But might does not make right land because Germany broke the law of right that nation is hay ing to pay the penalty.
 The government that is found ed and based on the law of right and justice and liberty, is the government that will make pro- gress and stand the tests that shake the world. However, O. bedience to good and just law is a necessity for the prosperity of any nation land or cline. This is the lesson that we, of this great republic of America should heea.

gions, with conditions most serious in Finland.
 Bohemia, Serbia, Roumanla and Montenegro have already reached the famine point and are suffering heavy toll of death. The Armenian popula- tion is falling each week as hunger takes its toll. and in Greece, Albania and Roumania go serious are the food shortages that famine is near. AL though starvation Is net yet imminent. Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Fur key are in the throes of serious str1n. gencies.
 In order to fulfill Americas pledge in world relief we will have te export every ton of food which can be A4s- dled through our ports. This means at the very least minimum of 20.00o. 900 tons compared with 6,000,0O0 tons pre- war exports and 11,s20,000 tons ex- ported last year, when we were beuRA by the ties of war ts the European allies.
 If we fail to tighten the black cpots on the hunger map or If We allev aAy portions to become darker the very peace for which We fought. and bled will be threatened. Revolt end anarchy inevitably follow famine Should tAis happen we will see iA sther parts ef Europe a repetition of the Russian 1s- bacle and our fight for world peAcs will have been in vain.

THE PRESIDENT AT THE
 PEACE CONFERENCE

The task which President Will son set for himself, on going to Europe 1t is now obvious, was to rally all the forces of democracy in support of the principles with which he seeks to imbue the set. tlement of the war. That he sue. Iceeded in that bold adventure is evidence by the enthusiasm with which he has been hailed as champion by the democracy of France, of Great Britain and of Italy. In fact the masses of every county seem to be looking to him to secure the freedom the war fought to win; freedom not only from the menace of autoc. racy, but from imperialism, mil ltarlSm, and those national ieal- ouSies and competitions which generate the forces, which pro. duce war. It seems likely that this general confidence in his purposes and in his judgment will give to the President a power great enough to make his ideas imperative in the peace confer enCe.

seat of government tue little nations first thought was to express her grati- tude to the Commission for Relief i'll Belgium for preserving the lives of millions of her citizens.
 Germany, on the other hand, need not figure in such map for Ameri- cans because there is no present indi- cation that we shall be called on at all to take thought for the food needs of Germany. Germany probably can care for her own food problem if she Is given access to shipping and is enabled to distribute food to the cities with dense populations, which are the trou- ble centeTs.
 England, France. the Netherlands and Portugal, all of which have been maintained from American supplies, have sufficient food to meet Immediate needs, but their future presents seri- ous difficulties. The same is true of Spain and the northern neutral eoun- tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark whose ports have been open and who have been able to draw to some degree upon foreign supplies.
 Most of Russia Is already in the throes of famine. and 40,000,000 people

Sudden Death of Theodore
 Roosevelt.

The world was shocked by the news of the sudden death of Col. Roosevelt, which occurred early in the morning of Jan. 9th at his home at Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay, N. '. Although it was known that he was not as vigor- ous as he had been, yet most people thought of him as being destined to be big factor in a. fairs for years to come. He died while he slep. He had taken an ardent and aggressive interest in activitiyes of every sort right up to the eve of his death.
 Roosevelt as a boy was natur. ally delicate but he become an example of what boy could make of himself, by persistent care of his health, physical training and the use of strong will power.
 He was q man of great abilities that led him out into various fields of activities. He was pos itive and forceful in character and such a man as preferred to wear out rather than to rust out
 His funeral, at his special re- quest, was free from pomp and display. His coffin was plain and he was buried in the little grave. yard near his home in Long Is. land, the funeral servlces were held at the little local Episcopa. llan Church which he and bls family generally attended. Col. Roosevelt, though prevented himself from taking an active part Ill the war, had sent four sons to the front. It is said he srieved deeply for his son Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt, who was kill. ed Tn an air battle July r, 1918. not far from the city of St. Quentin in France, but he was determined to set an example of spartan fortitude to other par ents who had lost their boys. and he orayely accepted his share of the sacrifices entailed by the war.
