German Commissions Reveal the
Spirit of Revolt With Military
Resources Still Large.
RED ARMIES ATTACK POLAND
Fighting Severe With Poles Showing
Splendid Spirit-IsIamic Situation
an Anxious One-Peace Treaty
and Democratic Platform
Higher Coal Prices.
BY E. F. CLIPSoN.

Germany'S commissions reveal hot
bed of revolt. Although the treaty Of
Versailles aimed to thoroughly cripple
the nation in a military sense, reduc-
ing it's army to only sufficient strength
for internal needs, it could not stamp
out the heritage of long years of mill
tarfsm. Germany is no less a nation
of soldiers today than it was in 1913.
These soldiers, bred under an arrogant
system and trained to kill, have been
exhibiting in full measure the results
of their teaching, even though it is a
fight of brother against brother. Ger
many was disarmed in the larger
sense, but the allies, as they did not
occupy the country, could not reach
the immense stock of smaller cannon,
rifles and ammunition, minenwerfers,
lfammenwerfers, etc. Events since the
overthrow of the Kapp revolution in
dictate that each peasant has arms
and the ability to use them. Civil war
would be in full blast if the various
groups did not lack cohesion.
The Ebert government, displaced for

then suddenly confronted by a coun-
Iter-revOlt of radicals instituted during
the general chaos, appears to be slow
lily struggling back to authority. The
crisis has not entirely passed, but an
easing of the situation is indicated.
This is especially true in Saxony and
some other states where socialism is
strong but where the moderate social
lists seem to have prevailed for the
time being at least over the radicals.
Conditions have been most acute in
the districts bordering the east bank
of the Rhine, especially in the Ruhr
basin, or coal mining region. This
area has been occupied by the Sparta
cides, bOlshevists, communists or
whatever one chooses to call them, the
Occupation being by a large, we'll
armed and effective force. The town
of Vessel, an industrial and railroad
center of great strategic Importance,
has been besieged. Inasmuch as most
of the coal comes from the Ruhr, oc-
cupation of it and complete cessation
of mining operations for a period of
ten days would be sufficient to stop all

account of what she regards as unfair
treatment in the Holland settlement.
France may be imperialistic, but the
case is not yet proven. She is at least
consistent in regard to the treaty Of
Versailles and the only one of the
allies completely consistent. The
treaty was put into effect with a loud
blare from all concerned that it would
be upheld. Should France be criticized
for demanding that Germany live up
to the pact?
1t is time for the sinking of diff
ferences, for unselfish cooperation
and the wisest craftsmanship. Ger
many scotched the Spartacide menace
last year, but did not kill it. The Kapp
revolution was suppressed, but left a
long attendant train of evils. The
present trouble is more stubborn and
may yet go entirely out Of hand. The
next CONFUSION may be uncomfortable.
All Germany and all factions are
emitting loud wall over the terms Of
the peace treaty, stating that it en-
forces economic slavery on the nation
and is at the bottom of the spirit of re-
volt. It is to Germany's interest to
make the claim. The man worsted in
a fight and all wrongdoers seek an
amelioration of the consequences Of
their acts. A negative light on the
question of economic slavery is the
action in a recent plebiscite Of a por-
ton of Schleswig. The town of Ton
dern, some other nearby towns and a
considerable adjacent area, given an
opportunity to join Denmark, where
conditions are normal and taxation
light, voted to stay with Germany. 1t
is not apparent that these people
viewed the prospect of industrial serv-
itude as very serious.
Germany's throes have been &C.
companied with much bloodshed.
Complete figures are not available.

tropoi, the reds endeavored to force
crossings of the Slutch river. Kovno
is an important railroad center ana
Kamenetz- Podolsk is valuable on &C
count of its strategic Importance. The
Polish resistance seems to have been
effective at most points, although the
army is under heavy difficulties, due
to incomplete equipment and lack OF
commissary and medical supplies.
Advices state, however, that the splen-.
did spirit of the Poles is everywhere
evident.
\ Just how important is the bolshevik
campaign remains 70 be seen. 1ndica-
lions are not lacking that it is part
of general movement of which the
German radical uprisings and disturb
ances in other portions of Europe are
a part, and timed in consonance.
Other indications point to a strong
demonstration to affect the various
peace negotiations which the reds are
carrying on with other nations.
Peace, or at least an understanding
with Great Britain and Italy, has been
an active probability. A solid pact
guaranteeing a cessation Of hostilities

Russian soviet armies are engaged
in the long planned spring attack on
Poland The campaign has been
launched on a 4O0-mile front, but the
action has not been general. The boil
shevists are using heavy artillery,
tanks, armored cars and other appa-
ratus captured from General Denikine
on the south Russian front. Previous
repulses of the enemy have been for
tunate for the Poles, as they have
heartened the soldiers to determined
resistance and have affected some
what the morale of the Russians.
Nevertheless, the engagements have
been severe, especially in the vicinity
of Kovno, Kamenetz-Podolsk, Rzecy-
cza, KalenkoWitz, Zaslava and Stare
Konstantinow. At the latter point,

the point of making important conces-

hemmed in by the allied armies on the
west, Holland on the north and gov

been their ability to prevent the pro-

among the allies. Unfortunately unison
is not apparent. The alliance so DOW
erful during the war, and which was
to work great principles for the bet

disintegratiOn. America has refused
to ratify the treaty on account of the
League of Nations covenant. Great

China that these prices hold good.
Transportation costs ID to 10 cents

These facts are set forth in review

will greatly prefer to extend their de-
velopments and relieve their conge6ted
populations by settling their own terri

ways have been developed In China, and
where modern Industrial plants are now
in operation. the prices Of commodities
and Of labor have already moro than
doubled during the past decade China
today is in the inception Of modern

1.-THE greatest possible service that
Americans can perform In connection
with the relations with China, both
for the protection Of American labor
and for assistance to the Chinese people,
is to render every possible assistance
in Chinese modern industrial and eco

Alleged Purchase of Maps.
The newspaper first printing the
charges said that an unnamed Ameri-
can had paid 10000 yen (s20.000) to
Tsunanori Oyama, an attache Of the
Typographical office, for maps of a
certain far eastern country, and un-

sion appropriation amounts to but $150,000. manifestly it will not GOV CT a great deal of territory. Until we know just what we have to spend no definite statement can be made as to the extent of the work. Eight crews will be worked on the Rich ardson Highway this season. One will work south of Willow Creek and seven to be distributed from there north to Fairbanks. The work there will be under the direction of Dan Jones, District Engineer.
 Returning To Valdez
 Colonel Gotwals expects to return to Valdez in short time for the purpose of going thoroughly into the reconstruction of the destroyed road through Keystone Canyon. There was too much snow on the ground during his recent visit for him to make an investigation. He will select a permanent route for the reconstructed trail on his next visit. From there he will return to Juneau and then go to White horse, down the Yukon river, touch ing at Eagle, Circle and Fort Gib bon, thence to Fairbanks where he will look over the entire district, and possibly take up the matter of building road into the Kantishna district. He expects to arrive in Fairbanks early in July and will return from there to the coast over the Richardson Highway examining the work being carried on along that route.
 Not Going To Nome
 Col. Gotwals said that he would probably be compelled to abandon his contemplated trip down the lower Yukon river and to Nome district, this year, owing to the many matters requiring attention in other sections. Asked concerning the probability of road work in the Cold Bay district, he pointed to large wall map. in dicating r~oject that had already been started at Ilamna and replied, Our engineer for the Seward dis trict will probably be sent to this point to look after the work which has already been started and will in all liklihood go into the Cold Bay region.

PROTESTS AGAINST ANTI
 CATHOLIC PROPAGANDA

JUNEAU, June 2.-To The Editor particularly the past week. there has been mailed to citizens of Juneau, from the postoffice of Juneau an. onymous pamphlets or circulars at tacking the Catholic Church with a bevy of slanderous statements and lies. This, in itself, is nothing new the church is used to this, and as a rule the statements made are so obviously false that no attempt is made to refute them; They are passed up as unworthy of notice. If time was taken to refute every false and scurrilous statement against the Church, the clergy would have no time for anything but answering these lies. We have so much faith in the fair mindedness and spirit of fairplay that permeates the great majority of the American people that in most instances we can afford to ignore such charges. However there was one pamphlet styled Rome in the Government" purporting to be an editorial printed in the Ma tional Catholic Register, and pro duced in the Western Recorder Gap sist), of Louisville, Ky, that on ac count of stating mythical paper might have the earmarks of authen ticity. Consequently I feel constrain ed to answer this. and to give the public the honest and true facts The only true statement in this cir cular is, that this article was in fact published by the Western Recorder (Baptist and credited by that paper to the National Catholic Register The matter was investigated and the Western Recorder (Baptist) ended up by acknowledging that there was no such paper as the National Cath ollie Register, and never had beer any such paper; that the statement was wholly false and unfounded, ana a scurrlous lie.
 1 do not like to think that these namphlets are sent out by any persoT that is affiliated with any othe' creed or sect I am not aware 0 any religious society that teaches dis trust or hatred of your neighbor It is very likely the act of an ir resronsible person bent on creating animosity and i'll feeling in our com mnnitv. and leave it to the fai minded and intelligent body of ou citizenship as to whether acts O this sort should be condoned
