A RAY OF LIGHT FROM GERMANY

Let us hope that the action of the Workmen and Soldiers Council in passing resolutions request ing the German Government to accept the peace treaty may have the effect of bringing the people of Germany to a realization of the necessities of the situation in Europe. There is to doubt that the German Government understands that tually their country submit to the terms pro- posed by the Allies It is inconceivable that they could conclude that anything could be gained by causing a further invasion of their coun- try No other explanation of their refusal to sign promptly hnkable than that they believe the peo pie would not support the Government if it should Therefore we must believe that the moment they can be convinced that the people would support the peace terms proposed that moment they would at tach their signatures
 The hope for early termination of the con- structive which still exists between the Allies and Germany is not inspired by any fear of the re- suits that would follow It is not likely that there would be any organized resistance to Allied in vesion of Germany Germany's refusal to sign the treaty could only bring about the occupation of their country perhaps with as little difficulty or formaty as Alsace- Lorraine and the Rhine birdgeheads were occupied
 However there is much to do at home-in America and Great Britain and France-to repair the damage and dispel the uncertainties caused by war that the sooner the Governments get work at the task the that will confident assurance that is so necessary to prosperity be restored The practical agreement of the policies of the Pres dent and the declarations of the Republican leaders in Congress the reconstruction program is reas uring to those who have hoped the best
 At last the Workingmen's and Soldiers Counci may have done something to compensate for its pas troublesomeness

 While Juneau did not show the percentage of oversubscriptions that of the towns did but her quota far more than twice great that of any other town, and the amount of her oversubscrp- ton exceeded that of any other town except Fair banks which made the remarkable record of over subscribing $121,0 or 121 per cent
 The figures show that in substantial wealth and material things the First Division is easily the most important section of Alaska. Her quota $429- 300 against s247S00 for the Third Division $163,250 for the Fourth Division and $114,550 for the Second Division.

 It is practical for this Personal solicitation rarely fails to accomplish the results sought.
 There will be few doughboys who will not yield to the influence woman exert when inspired by the most exalted patriotism.

 But the way out of contest is easily found The special election provides it. Let Judge Wicker sham enter the a candidate for the vacancy and against the whom the Democrtic party will select And in this manner let the people of Alaska again whom they desire to represent them in Congress
 Such procedure will clarify the situation great ly It will save the country money and satisfy all Alaskans who believe in fair play. And if the ma jority of Aaskans satisfied neither Wickersham nor any other individual has right to kick.

Hope that the extraordinary grand

PEELED yesterday when it was found
that another list of witnesses has been
summoned.
Because papers vital to the inves-
tigation tomorrow will have to do with
the operation of the District Attor-
ney's office it is expected that Assist
ant District Attorney James F. Smith
Will be excluded from the jury room.
The witnesses called Tor tomorrow.
1t was learned, include Misses Theresa
and Hattie Grant, nieces of David

and CASTOR b. Means. who has conduct
ed a two years investigation of the
ONCE OF the District Attorney. Assist
ant District Attorney John T. Doolinp.
who prosecuted Means on a charge Of
numbering Mrs. Maude King. with the
result that Means was acquitted, was
by Means.
The nieces of Commissioner Hirsh-
heid Will be examined concerning a
trip upstate, in which the Commits
sioner is said to have used CITY
automobile. Mr.. Hirshfeld, in two
statements issued since he was sum
moned before the jurors, said the trip
was solely on business and that the
city funds did not pay for it. Yester-
day he denounced the insistence of the
Jurors that his nieces be examined.
They failed to respond to subpnnas
issued early last week.
1t was said yesterday the jury still
has numerous witnesses to be heard
this week. One more week may be
consumed in the questioning of city
employees concerning facts revealed
through study of official papers sub
p9naed by the jurors.
The conference of Raymond F. Almi-
rail-, foreman of the grand jury, with
a representative of the Indictment bu-
reau indicated that indictments might
be returned tomorrow. While the
srmmoning of witnesses indicated that
this probably will not be done, sup
elemental report with true bills
against men in any case that may
have been closed by the jurors, would
not surprise those familiar with the
