So far as known there are no other relatives.
 Wards copper properties near American River are generally consid- cred to be the most valuable and promising copper lodes in this section of Alaska but have not been worked on q commercial scale owing to the absence of transportation through the difficult country in which they are To- cated.

THE Russian Soviet government

American Relief Commission. BY
formally accepting and registering
this document, the League Of Ma
tons recognizes the All-Russian
Soviet as the government Of that
country. - ...
Russia is bankrupt and hungry
now. But, as Lloyd George said, no
real statesman would think Of leav-
ing the vast potential power Of Rus
STA out of future calculations. We
have repeatedly said that the Soviet
government should be recognized for
reasons of world politics and the
general welfare of all nations. 1t is
far better that Russia should have
an international standing, even under
a bad government, than no standing
at all. We never hesitated to recog-
nize the atrocious and treacherous
government which the Russian revo-
luton destroyed. And no matter
how bad the Soviet government may
be, it certainly is no worse for the
world at large than the Romanoff
despotism.
Fortunately famine and pestilence
seem about to win for Russia what
neither diplomacy nor arms could
win-readmission to the Family of
States.

miners. There was nothing else to do

to be done now.-We hope it will be
done.
We hope that the President will
as vigorously and effectively put
down the lawlessness Of the West
Virginia mine owners.
These men are just as lawless as
the men who marched against their
mine properties.
They are organized to underpay
their workers and to overcharge the
public. Essentially and fundamen-
tally they are band of plunderers.
They hire gunner to shoot and
kill union laborers, exactly as some
union laborers employ guns against
their properties and non-union
workers.
They corrupt and control the poll
tics and the officials of the State
and the counties, and release or i'm
prison whom they will, in utter dis
regard of justice and legal rights.
Now that the Government has put
an end to the lawlessness of the ex-
asperated mine workers it ought to
put an end to the lawlessness of
these mine operators, who exasper-
ate, underpay and enslave the work
ers and profiteer upon the public
