Master Stroke of Government.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The long
expected master stroke of the United
States against anarchy in America has
come.
simultaneously in fifteen cities Sat
urday night agents of the department
of justice swooped down on anarchistic
meetings on the eve of what is said to
have been the beginning of the long
heralded "social revolution. As re-
suit of these raids 2l1 leaders of the
organization known as the Union of
Russian Workers are held by the feder-
al government All of the prisoners
taken doubtless will be deported.
The arrests were made under the de-
portation laws and the persons held are
aliens. In many cases numbers OF
American citizens were captured by

existing laws.

Official Statement by Local
Football Team
Management
BRATTLEBORO READY
TO MEET RIVALS
Evident that Rutland Is Not DESTROYS
of Doing So-Local Team Will Not
Accept Dictation in the Matter from
Rutland.

Because of so much comment on the
failure of the Brattleboro and Rutland
high school football teams TO get to-
gether for game this season, and be-
cause of many inquiries as to the rea-
son for the failure, the following off
cial statement was prepared for The
Reformer by the management of the
Brattleboro high school team:
cit is high time that the truth and
the whole truth should be told con
corning the Rutland -Brattleboro ath-
letic situation. In the first place the
Brattleboro schedule was made out in
June and the early fall and called for
eight games, beginning with Bellows
Falls Sept. 20 and ending with Keene
on Nov 10. The schedule allowed for
only two open dates, those of Nov. l
and Nov. %. All of those games have
been played with the exception of the
| second Greenfield game, which was can
celled by the mutual agreement between
the two schools.
"When Coach O'Brien wrote the
high school management here early in
OctoDer ASKING II game could be
awarded either at Rutland or Brattle-
boro on the 25th of October and men
toned definitely the guarantee that
would be satisfactory, Brattleboro re-
piled stating that she had game with
Greenfield on that date, but would be
/ very glad to play Rutland here either
/ Nov. l or Nov. 2a- The next say Tifc
game between Greenfield and Brattle-
tboro was cancelled and Rutland was

SOUTH LONDONDERRY
HUNTER HITS BEAR
Wound in Leg Leaves Trail of Blood
in Snow and Dog Is Secured, but
Animal Gets Away.

A black bear was wounded but not
killed by Herbert Magoon in South
Londonderry yesterday, which is fur
ther evidence that the organized hunt
of Nov. was staged in the wrong gar
den.
Mr.. Magoon was in the woods on
Underwood hill, half mile from South
Londonderry village, when he shot the
bear. He shot, but the bear made off.
The hunter secured a dog and tracked
the bear some distance by trail of
blood in the snow which came from the
animal S leg.

REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION

While the republican organization in the senate has been practically completed with out any serious party fight developing, it is apparent from press despatches that there is every prospect for such scrap in the near future. The present organization, while in some respects agreeable to the progressive members, is nevertheless practically under the domination of the Old Guard Reactionaries are in positions to shape the attitude of the party in the upper house despite the selection of Senator Cummins for president pro-tem- pore.
 Senator Lodge as leader of the republi- cans, has more power than that possessed by Mir. Cummins There is no reason to believe that he will depart from the old committee appointment system, or that he will change the traditional policy in any single essential point The chairmanships will be awarded accord ing to priority.
 This is evidenced by the determination of the progressives to carry e.fight against the appointments of Senator Penrose and Sen ator Warren to head the finance and appro- priations committees. These men, with Sena- tor Lodge and a few others, constitute the mainstay of the Old Guard division of the republican party. And from the proceedings of the conference Wednesday it is plain that they are still in power in the party councils

THE POWER PROJECT

The cornerstone of our future prosperity is cheap power. A cheaper source of energy than is now available must be had in order to attain that development and commercial prosperity of which the country is capable. The men who have studied the power situa- tion including fuel, etc., are more thoroly alive to the benefits which cheaper energy will bring than the rest of us.
 The Tanana Valley Chapter of the Amer ican Mining Congress, after making a close investigation of conditions and resources, has drafted bill which it will seek to have intro duced and passed by congress for the purpose of getting the government to build power plant to supply the needed energy. The in vestigation of the mining association shows that the cost of such plant would not be ex- cessive and that the present market open to such project would give the government req sonable returns on its investment from the very start.
 The construction of such plant will be of benefit to the entire territory It is for the best interests of the whole country that it be built Since this is the case, it is pro- per that the whole territory boost for the pro- ject.
 The mining association can't do much if it has no support from the rest of the terri tory. Its influence is too limited to expect it unaided to win against such opposition as it is likely to encounter. It is the duty of all the people to come forward and give whatever assistance that is possible.
 Too many times the plans of practical men are looked upon as half-baked schemes of idle dreamers The packers of the power project are not dreamers. They are men who have worked in this country for years They know the rough side of the game and their recommendation of the plan gives it weight. Let's everybody pull for it.

and see that their country is included This is work for Alaskan commercial organiza- tions, civic bodies, in fact for all Alaskans, whether they be- farmers miners teachers, professional men of any kind, or laborers of any occupation It has no especial interest for the members of any one industry. It is of general interest It is for the best interest of the territory and not for any class or classes alone.
 What is to be done must be done quickly. Congress convenes next Monday. The Citizen urges the several local organizations to spend a few dollars telegraphing to various parties enlisting all the support possible in getting congress to put Alaska in the list of states which are named ill the proposed legislation.

IGNORANCE OR PAID PROPAGANDA

The criticism of the United States by Senor Albuquerque, whom press despatches Isay is a leading journalist of Brazil exhibits all the earmarks of propaganda, Hunlike in conception and method, but it may be the fruit Iof crass ignorance It is certain that no one familiar with the United States, and its achievements ill the war, would have made such assertions unless from ulterior motives. | To comment upon his attempt to take away from Americans arms the credit due
 them for the vitally important part they play ed in the war would be to give his remarks an importance which they do not possess. The history of the war was changed with the entry
 of American soldiers, and the present session of the peace conference is in existence only
 because of Americas taking sides with the allies. Any one who can read intelligently can make no mistake about that.
 When the forbearance of the United
 States in her relations with Mexico is remem bered, the charges made by the Brazilian that
 America is at the bottom of Mexican revolu- tions can but become ridiculous There is no
 nation under the sun which would have played
 the forgiving big brother as America has done times without number Many occasions have
 furnished ample reason for American inter-
 vention in Mexico which any country with the sole exception of the United States would have taken as sufficient cause for war. In its dealings with every country on the western hemisphere, the United States has proven its disinterested desire to promote the
 welfare of all without obtaining a single foothold whereby to exert undue influence in
 their affairs. Any student of the politics of the Americas knows that there is no other parallel in the history of the world to the big brother attitude of the United States to-
 ward its sister American republics.
 And when Senor Albuquerque attempts to belittle President Wilson he tries for the impossible. Nothing that he can say will shake the confidence which all the people in the world have in the American executive His high mindedness, the greatness of his spirit, the loftiness of his ideals and the sin
 cerity of his efforts to better all mankind
 have not been in vain. He has impressed his
 character upon the world as no other man of
 his time.
 It is not reasonable to conclude that any person can be as ignorant as the Brazilian journalist appears to be. It is against all the
 laws of human possibilities that such ignor-
 ance can exist in this day of enlightenment It could hardly be found in Bolshevist Rus sia.
 For this reason, it is logical to believe that the would-be-slanderer of the United States
 the man who sees in America, "the Prussia
 of tomorrow, is himself in the employ of the present Prussia. A certain percentage of
 Brazil's population is German in origin and sympathy. And it is more than probable that Senor Albuquerque is one of those who have
 their inspiration in the slimy pools of Prus- sian jr,nkerism and German kultur.

RED CROSS WILL
 SELL ALL YARN
 LEFT ON HAND

After several months of delay di vision headquarters in Seattle has finally granted permission to the To- cal chapter to sell the yarn on hand The yarn will be sold at cost. thr n"or"nfG reverting. of course. to Panama Valley Chapter of the Red Cross.
 Both sweater and sock wool will be on sale. The sweater wool is all of the last shipment, gray in color. The sock wool on hand is of two cOlors. l:;,ht gray and whit.
 Practically all of the magazines for women contain directions for knit ting sweaters of every conceivable style--sweaters for boys. men. young girls and matrons The gray sweat pr wool is suitable for both mems and boys sweaters, for caps, hug, tights, and for shawls to protect grandma from drafts. In fact there is no end to the uses suggested for it by tho current magazines.
 The sock wool which knits into warm, soft socks for use in this northern country can be diverted from it's original purpose and used for sweaters. the finished garment giving the effect of Shetland wool which is the popular material for sweaters at present.
 The white wool can be easily dyed before knitting, care being taken 60 follow exactly the directions on the package both as to process and as ID the amount of dye necessary to ss, cure the desired effect. Most failures result from attempting 10 dye too much material with one package of dye
 The sweater wool will be sold at three dollars a pound: the sock wool at two dollars six bits: the needles at two bits a set. At these prices everyone can afford to experiment. with socks and sweaters, either for father or son, or with one of the fac cinating Shetland wool sweaters in a General Foch, Patricia or Lady Jan" design, which are being worn now with the seasons sport suits.
 On "Wednesday and Saturday or this week. at the Library between three and five. the wool will be on sale. The committee in charge hopes to dispose of a goodly amour. of thr yarn and thereby reimburse the Red Cross.

PIX TO LEAVE
 FRANCE EARLY

Frank P. Wood, better known to Fairbanksans as Pix" who has prob. ably seen as much if not more war than any other boy from this camp. in letter just received by his broth. CT Dick. who sometimes works at the First National bank when none of the other boys there feel like it, says that he is still enjoying the after.war period at Paris. France. He has been there for sometime and will probably keep his station until he returns to America.
 He says that he expects to be or dered back to the United States about the last of May. Whether or not he will return to Fairbanks im- mediately after being mustered out of the military service is not known. His many friends here hope SO. and among those doing the most wishing are the members of the Fairbanks ball team. who are considering petitioning the war department to turn Pix loose and send him to Fairbanks by the first boat.

IS WICK BEHIND THIS, TOO?

Down in the Seward district there has been found, or rather has disclosed itself, an organization which honors itself with the title "The Alaska Association" This association is circulating letters seeking additions to its membership and justifying its existence by trying to kill the Alaskan Engineering com mission.
 The objects as set forth by the associa- tion in its circular are as follows: "Under the pseudo management of Mr. William C. Edes, and the men actually in charge under his all legged direction, the railroad project will not be completed within any future period now reasonably or probably certain for the req sons, as we believe, that these men are in- competent to build the road, and are also un- willing to complete it so long as public monies are available for salaries expense accounts, and other charges in which they are interest ed.
 "We believe the removal of these men from the positions they now occupy is abso- lutely indispensable if disaster to the entire Alaska railroad project is to be averted.
 "For political and other obvious reasons their removal thru direct appeal to the Pres ident is perhaps not to be expected before the assembling of another congress; but as mat ter of information for yourself, it may be said that the new committee on appropriations, and all the senators and representatives, will have DETAILED INFORMATION of railroad management in Alaska during the past four years WHICH WILL DEFEAT ANY AP- FEDERATION TO BE DISBURSED BY THESE SAME MEN"
 The Citizen knows of but two sets of fig ures and two accounts from which such in formation can be had One of these sets is the official one. It was given out by Secre- tary Lane during the debate on the railroad appropriation last spring and is ansanswer to Wickershams attack upon the project These figures are true accounts of the stewardship of the Alaskan Engineering commission. If they show mismanagement waste, incompe- tency and favoritism then the house failed to find it. t,.
 These statements appear in Secretary Lanes report Tn the summer of 1918 sent Mir. Edwin F. Wendt, of the Interstate Com merce commission, in charge of the valuation of the railroads of the United States from Pittsburgh to Boston, to make an investigation into the manner in which the Alaskan Rail- road was constructed and its cost. He re- ported to me as follows:
