seven other countries in relatively
small amounts. America appropriat-
ed 10 billions for loans to the allies
but only about nine billions have been
actually taken up.
Some Things Left Out.
The above rough summary leaves
out of consideration a hundred Ifs
and butts" such as: How much DANA
ges the allies will actually collect
from Germany; the next ten years
crops; the a t of what remains of
the king b%uslness;" results of the
League Of Nations; Bolshevism; etc,
ETC., etc.
Nobody knows the answer to these
ifs and butts"
But the financial authorities put
the quietus on loose talk around peace
circles to the effect that: They're
not worth the paper they're written
on"
That is %sillier, they assert. than the
fat assumption that: They're all as
good as gold In the pocket"
Some system of international f1nan-
cial backing under the League of No
tions, that will stabilize exchange, re-
store confidence, and boom business
all yer tho world, is probably the
answer all right. And hat Is the goal
toward which the financial geniuses
of the world are working.
But of course that is based OF peace
and there are still about 81 varie-
ties of wars n revolutions in the
world, to say nothing of threats of
new ones.
The accompanying boxes and dia
grams show the present financial out
look in the various countries. Such
figures vary somewhat, but these are
American peace mission figures-used
by the American experts in their work.
The American postwar debt will be
about 40 per cent of her total wealth.

But the British are going right after
their debt. The British tax rate has
been far heavier than Frances
throughout the war. 1t still is. The
new British budget runs to around
five billion dollars. The French ia
around three billions.
Under the spur of war necessity the

taxes. They are keeping 1t up. And

So far France isn't. None of the
French ministries since the begin
ming of the war had the nerve to slap
on needed heavy taxes; though of
course taxes increased.
France was under invasion and the
French war cabinets were all afraid
of the effect on the nations morale
IL they imposed the rates needed.
The French government is broke
though the nation Is not danger

vidual.
However, financial authorities be-
lieve that once French business gets
under way, France will get busy on
wiping out her debt, with the aid of
the damage bill she will collect from

 '1. That it is evident from the lifelong observations and experiences of well-disposed citizens and we your memoria1ists believe that unless the present general regulations, as pub lished by the department of commerce of salmon in Alaska waters, be strictly enforced, and other laws and regula- tions added thereto, the supply of sal mon in Alaska waters will become de- pleted

 A. That the fishing of echoes and dog salmon should be resumed after the closed period of fifteen days, these varieties running later, and in the rainy season of the year are amply protected by the above regulations and under the present law, if properly enforced. -7-"
 5. That the run of red and pink salmon varies considerably in time in the different sections of Alaska; there fore it should be ascertained by the bureau of fisheries when the closed season for the different localities should commence.
 "6. That at least 25 fish wardens should be appointed for a period of not more than ninety days in each year, for the purpose of preventing violation of laws and regulations rela- tive to the fishing of salmon.
 "7 That unless actions are speedily taken in this matter the greatest in dustry of the territory and the world s largest supply of this food will be so depleted and destroyed as to be ar irreparable loss to our wealth and our revenue, and we, your memorialists will ever pray"

COMMANDERIN RUSSIA IS0LD-
 TIME ALASKAN

Brigadier General w. P. Richard son, who will command an American army in Russia, is an Alaskan. He went through all the army grades from lieutenant to brigadier general in the infantry branch of the United States army while in service in this territory.
 Lieutenant Richardson came to Alaska first with Captain Ray at the time of the Klondike rush, and served on the Yukon river where they went to preserve order, to aid in providing against starvation and perform the various offices that frequently has de- volved upon the army on advanced frontiers where there was not or ganized government.
 Later he came to St. Michael when an army post was first established there. While there he was promoted to be a captain. His first service as Captain Richardson was to select sites for army posts at Nome, Fort Gibbons and Fort Egbert.
 At this time Skagway was regl- mental army headquarters for Alaska, but the government was using rented buildings for quarters, barracks, hos pital, commissary, etc. Captain Rich ardson was sent to SkagWay to select a site for the principal army post 1n Alaska, instructed to make the selec- ton on Lynn Canal, near SkagWay He selected the site of Fort William H. Seward at Haines, and superln- tended the clearing of the land and the construction of the entire post, ln- cluding parade grounds, rife range, water and sewer systems and all the buildings While engaged in this work he was promoted to the rank of major.
 Ten years of Alaska work had made Major Richardson a confirmed Alas kan. and he went to Washington ana secured the law creating the Alaska board of road commissioners. He established headquarters at Skagway where they were maintained for seV- era! years. Fro. there he moved his headquarters 0 Valdez, and re- mained there sev, al years. He was promoted to be lie1 enant colonel and then colonel of infancry while there.
 In the spring of 1917 he head quarters of the Alaska board of road commissioners was removed to Jul neau, and in July of that year Colonel Richardson was promoted to the rank of brigadier general.
 In November, 1917, General Richard son went to Washington, and in De- cember was assigned to the command of the depot brigade at Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va. Later, discovering that he had to take a brigade and train it if he hoped to get to France, he asked for and was assigned to the command of brigade at Camp Bu- reaugard, La That was in March 1918. In October, 1918, he took his brigade to France, where the training was resumed.
 General Richardson's home was al Farms, Texas, from where he went to , West Point. He graduated from the military academy, and was assigned to the infantry. For several wears before coming to the Pacific coast he was a military instructor at the West Point Military Academy.

GALES FERRY

Saturday morning, December 21st there was the launching of TWO naval destroyers at Newport News, Virginia, by the Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co.,, of that place. One was named in memory of Captain Charles Satteriee, of Gales Ferry, who was in command of the U. S. s. Tampa which was lost while on convoy duty in Bristol Chan nel, England.
 The Sunday paper, The Virginia Pi- lot. and Norfolk Landmark, publish ed the following:
 Little Rebecca Satteriee, six years old. daughter of MT. and Mrs. Elmer Satterlee, of North Haven. Conn. christened the destroyer SattGNee, when it took it's first dip in the briny at Newport News, yesterday. The little girl is the niece of Captain Charles Satterlee, who lost his life in the Bristol Channel September 26, 1918. when his ship was sunk by a submarine. The Satterlee went over board at 9 o'clock and the little spon- sor, who had already won the hearts of the thousands of shipyard work men and a few guests, who witnessed the launching was given q big oya- ton when she crashed the bottle o1 vessel as it started down the ways She performed her duty like a veteran and when the bottle crashed agains i the nose of the boat those standing within fifteen feet. of her distinguished

the words, T christen t!ee Satterlee," spoken in clear, steady voice.
 In a special despatch to the New York Herald from Newport News. cov- ering the launching, one Of inc latest photographs of Captain Satterlee is
 produced, in wood cut, and also one
 of the little sponsor.
 The Times-H Herald of Newport News
 of December 21, pays the following
 tribute to Captain Satterlee:
 Charles Satterlee. as he was af-
 fectionateIy called by his associates,
 was one of the most gallant men that
 ever graced the navy Of the United States. He was born in Essex, Conn.,.
 September fl, 1875, and when only 20 was appointed to the Coas1 Guard Academy. n 1898 he was promoted to the grade of third lieutenant. in 1891 to the second grade, to be first lieutenant in 1906, and 10 be captain in 1915. In the Coast Guard service along the New England coast, es- peccially around Cape Cod he did splendid work and rescued many a struggling vessel from the troubled wa ters. He was noted for his courage and his rigid adherence to duty, no | matter what the peril to himself might be. He became deservedly popular among seafarIng men lorg before the war in Europe began and the naval authorities were not slow to recognize | his value. He was assie-ed to the I Tampa at the Key West station anh l during the past year escorted eighteen l conveys between Gibraltar and Brit Fish ports, It is said that while on the

 lost in the fortunes of war, but he went down with her and gave his fife

 honors his memory, and fame by the
