 "Tms order led to retaliation. Legislative acts m- tended to benefit Alaska have been shom of their bene- fits bv discriminating teeth put in them Alaska IS now taxed i'm order that Seattle may spite Prince Rupert
 "The Jones bll recently passed by Congress reveals how Alaska is being made to suffer i'm many ways for Pacific Coast riyares Goods destined from Minnesota to Seattle can go by way of Prince Rupert But goods destined from Alaska to Minneapolis must go by way of Seattle thought the Prince Rupert route offers say ing of time and cost

No matter whether the prohibition or any other law is popular or otherwise it is the duty of all good citizens to aid in its enforcement At the present time the pro- hbitiou law is the one most frequently and fagranty violated and if such violation is permitted to go mchaI- enged and mpnished, respect for other and all law will be lost and the country will go to the everlasting bow VOWS and hell will be to pay It is encouraging that local officials are awakening to the evils that have been stalking rampant and in defiance of law in this and other Alaska communities and the festive bootlegger and moonshner will do well to depart from the evil of their ways-otherwse they very certain to be slowed away in some place from which departing is raugh with con siderable difficulty

Signing Of German Treaty
Makes Possible Direct
Cable Negotiations.

One result of the signature of the
peace treaty hav-
ing been to confirm the American
rights to equal participation with
the other allied and associated powers
in the disposition of the formerly
German-owned colonies and islands
of the Pacific. 1t has now become
possible to conduct negotiations di-
rectly between the United States and
Japan for the settlement of the dis
puted claims for the cable control of
the island of Yap and other issues
that it is desired to eliminate from
the discussion Of the coming Wash
ington conference.
Negotiations Have begun.
In anticipation of the ratification
of the German-American treaty. such
negotiations already have begun.

effected between the United States
and Japan by the other powers inter-
ested. Great Britain, France and
Italy.
States and Japan on the subject of
zap followed the unsuccessful at
tempts of the international communi-
cations conference to dispose of the
cable privileges of the little mid
Pacific station. 1t was suspended
after the note of Secretary Hughes
of April 2. in which he declared him
selef unable to agree with the con-
tention of the Japanese government
with respect to zap. The position
also was taken that the United States
could not be bound without it's con-
sent by the action of the supreme
council in the allotment of mandates
over former German-owned terrific
ries and islands.
