and they will be called into consulta-
tion when the subjects on which they
have specialized are brought into the
deliberations of the principal dele
gates.
Working Out Details
Secretary of State Robert Lansing,
Colonel Z. NJ. House an; Lord Robert
Cecil, who has made the subject
of the league of nations a special
study on behalf of the British govern
ment, held long conference to-day re-
gardng the details to be worked out
n forming a league. Their conference
followed consultations between Pres-
dent Wilson and Colon.l House last
evening.
To Fix Farley Date
The coming conferences will, among
otner things, probably decide on the
date Of the opening of the formal ses-
sions of the conference, the extent to
which they will be open and other de-
tails which are of great interest to the
public.
The peace, conference, according to
present arrangements, will open with
an exchange of views between the min
isters of the four great powers con-
cerning organization, composition and
procedure. These exchanges are cx-
pected to take up the time from Jan
uary 13 to January IS.
In the event of an agreement being
reached on January 1S there will be q
plenary meeting at which all the
powers who broke relations with the
Central Empires will be represented.
At that time the definite composition
Of the delegations Of each nation will
be settled.
Five Delegates Each
1t is virtually certain that France,
Great Britain, the United States, Italy
and Japan will have nve delegates
each. Other nations such as Belgium,
Serbia, Greece, Rumania and Portugal
will have three delegates. The coun-
tries which severed relations with the
Central Powers and did not engage di-
rectly in the war will have two repre-
sensatives.
The work of preparing the foreign
office building in the Quai d'Orsay for
the meetings is going on actively. All
the rooms on the ground floor will be
used by the various delegations The
"cloak room" will serve for the ordi-
nary meetings, while the plenary ses-
sions will be held in the big dining
room, where there is room for $50
persons.
Premier Orlando and Foreign Min
lister Sonnino, of Italy, and Premier
Lloyd George and Foreign Minister
Balfour, of Great Britain, are expected
here soon to confer with Premier Gle
menceau and Foreign Minister Pichon.
1t is probable the members of the
various delegations will be officially
announced before the end of this week.
Owing to the fact that peace negotia-
tions are to begin very soon, the Off

 annual report Secretary Franklin K

 If once we realize that education is not solely a State matter but ( National concern, the way is open And what argument that could bt advanced would be more persuasive that education deserves and mus have the consideration of the Centra Government than the figures that art given?
 If men cannot be converted read 1 fly into soldiers but must be helc in camp while they receive a pri mary education, surely no one car hold that this is a matter deserving of merely State attention. The Ma tons life may not have been imper fled by the presence in the Army o' considerable percentage of mer who could not be equipped for ser vice promptly, but this is the minor part of the reason why this humil iating condition should not obtain il this country The greater reason
 is that we can not govern ourselve:

 able to sense the movement of oul
 times save through the gossip ol

BUSINESS TO INCREASE
Property Owners and Bus mess Men Already Are Planning for Increased
 Business

With two steamers rapidly ap- preaching Juneau all sCld out, the Spring rush has started earlier this year than on almost any previous year, save during the early gold rushes.
 Numerous telegraphic dispatches and every mail brings evidence of the fact that many people are pre- pairing to come to Alaska this Sum mer, in addition to the Alaskans who served in the war and were taken Outside for civilian and other war work.
 Alaskans have proven good boost CTS wherever the fortunes of war or Government service has placed them and they have interested great number in the last frontier land of Uncle Sam. There is every indica- tion that all lines will be quickened his Summer and that many of the opportunities and undeveloped re- souhces will be searched out and made to produce still greater wealth md commerce and manufacturing. Already in Juneau may be seen signs of the anticipated increase of business. Property owners are fix ing up their residences and business men are increasing their stocks Plans that have been in abeyance during the war for getting capital fer development purposes, are again side may be seen more hopeful outlook

 of our fundamental law we can find

 little money, perhaps as much in

 five hours in France and the work
 could be done. It could be done with
 out coercion without trenching on
 the prerogative of the State in the slightest If we could offer help to those willing to accept it, the end would be accomplished. Make the same kind of an offer to the States for the education of their illiterates that we make to them for the con struction of roads, and in five years here would be few, if any, who could not read and write in this country It may be worth while to consider lome of the groups that, taken to gether, constitute the problem.

$4,000 Bonus to be Paid 10 Soldiers
Discharged Since April 6, 1917.

Section 1406 of the Revenue Act APP
proved February "a, 1919, authorizes
the payment of a bonus Of $50 to Of
ficers, soldiers, field clerks and
nurses Of the Army upon honorable
separation from aticve service by dis
charge, resignation or otherwise.
This bonus is not payable to the heirs
or representatives of any deceased
soldier.
Those who are discharged hereafter
will receive this bonus on the same
roll or voucher upon which they are
paid their final pay.
Those who have been discharged
and have received their final pay
without the $50 bonus, should write a
letter to the Zone Finance Officer,
Lemon Building, Washington, D. c.,
stating their service since April 6,
1917, the date of last discharge and
their present address to which they
desire their bonus checks to be sent
and enclosing with this letter their
discharge ertificate or military order
for discharge and both, if both were
issued or a certified copy of the same.
Upon the receipt by the Zone FL
nance Officer, Washington, D. c., OF
this information and the soldiers dis
charge certificate, this officer will
cause checks to be drawn and mailed
to the claimants in the order in which
their claims were received by him.
The discharge certificate will be re-
turned to the soldier with the check.
1t is estimated that at least one mil
lion and a quarter persons have been
discharged from the service who are
entitled to the benefits of this Act and
while payments will be made as ex-
peditiously as practicable, it will
manifestly take considerable time to
write and mail this many checks.
