OUTSIDE CONDITIONS DO NOT LOOK GOOD
 TO TWO ALASKANS
They Said It Is Difficult to Get Work and That the Cost of Living Is
 High.

Possibly there was no more hap pier bunch on the Alameda, among those returning North, than Wallace Daykin and Walter Gray, of Seward, who made the round of friends here while the Alameda was in port.
 MT. Gray was formerly connected with the United States cable office in Seward The two young men are bound for the Iditarod, and later in- tend to go to Nome and take boat for the Siberian shore.
 "There is practically no work to be had for love or money on the Outside at the present time," said MT. Daykin. The worst conditions ever experienced in Alaska do not begin to compare with those met with Out side. There never was a time but man could make living in Alas. ka, and no one ever went hungry, while on the Outside the cost of liv. ing is as great almost as it is in Alaska, and you go to have the coin in sight or you don't eat. Most Al askans have contracted the habit of eating, as often as they feel hungry and it is difficult for them to get used to looking in the windows at good things and not being able to go in and secure the best"

In a pamphlet just published in London. entitled "A League of Ma tons; a Programme for the Peace Conference" General Jan Christian Shuts. formerly member of the Brit ish War Cabinet. says # is neces- sary to view a league of nations not only as a possible means to prevent future wars but as a great organ for the orderly and peaceful life of civ-' ifization and as the foundation of . new international system.
 The war. he declares. has wrought . fundamental change on the politi- cal map of Europe. The Russian, Austrian and Turkish empires d. ready have disappeared. while Ger many. "even if she survives the storm of the coming days. will lose her subject races of non-German blood"
 'The only statesmanlike course" General Shuts continues. '4s t0 make the league of nations rever- sionary. in the broader sense. of the three empires. Russia. Austria and Turkey. whose people now are de- ficient in self-government The peace conference. therefore. should look upon the formation of league of nations as its primary task and should look upon itself as the flrsl meeting of the leagues
