AN OPPORTUNITY WHICH MOST
 PEOPLE HAVE NEGLECTED

LONDON, Jan 27.-A debtor who in 1914 borrowed 750,O00 Russian ru- bles then worth about 97S,OOO can now repay in full with $50, Judge Russell has decided in the Chancery division of the Royal Courts of Justice. However, stay of execution was granted with view to an appeal.
 The parties were the British Bank of Foreign Trade which borrowed the 750,00O from the Russian Commercial and Industrial Bank against securities which the borrower now sought to re- deem. The lending bank however in sisted on payment of the larger sum.
 The judge held that the loan was a ruble loan repayable in rubles, either imperial Romanoff, Kerensky or So- viet issues, whichever were available Soviet rupies were quoted at about 60 for a penny at the time the judge rendered his decision.

NINETEEN MILLION. STARVING PEOPLE. HAVE TO BE FED
FIFTEEN MILLION MORE WILL SURELY DIE UNLESS RELIEF
 REACHES THEM SOON

GENEVA, Jan. 27.-Nineteen mil lion persons are suffering intensely for want of food in Russia and 15,000,000 more will certainly die unless succor reaches them quickly Dr. F'ritdjof Nan sen told the League of Nations Inter national Committee on the Relief of Russia here.
 Nansen said he was greatly dissatis, fled with the way in which the Rus sian government had acted under the agreement regarding relief, as no eff fort had been made to assist the com mittees, relief trains standing on the sidings for weeks, while the Soviet of ficials lived in luxury.
 Nansen, who has just returned from the famine districts of Interior Russia said conditions were pitable, men, wo men and children sitting around in a state of apathy, too weak to move.
 A general exodus of peasants is talk ing place into the town of Russia, and it is weared there will be a great croI shortage next year.

IMPORT TRADE
 CHINA GROWS

China is entirely dependent upon foreign machinery and methods for the development of natural resources or the creation of an industrial organ ization," says the National Bank of Commerce of New York, in the Janu- ary issue of it's magazine, Commerce Monthly, and it is not surprising that there should be keen international competition for Chinese trade.
 Despite a very low average standard of living the absence of industrial de velopment makes China larger user of foreign goods Japan, the British Empire and the United Sta es are the chief competitors continues the bank, land it is of interest to note that since the close of the war imports into China from Great Britain and the United States have more than doubled in value while those from Japan have slightly decliend. Imports have been increasing steadily III the past decade, except for the war period and in 1920 reached a total of 762 million taels, the equivalent of billion dollars at the average rate of exchange.
 Cotton manufactures form more than one half the total of both the British and the Japanese trade and are important in the imports from the United States. In the American trade far the most valuable items. Both Great Britain and the United States send iron and steel manufactures, machinery of all kinds and electrical goods in considerable quantity.

RAPID PROGRESS
 IN SECOND LINE OF J. s. DEFENSE
CHIEF OF MILITARY BUREAU PRESENTS INTERESTING
 MILITARY DATA

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Rapid pro- gress in the rebuilding of the nations second line of defense-the National Guard-was made during the last ifs. cal year, says the annual report of the chief of the militia bureau under signature of Brigadier General Jesse Nc l. Carter, retired. On June 30 the report says the guard numbered 113- 630, with 331 organizations allotted, but not yet organized.
 On the basis of expansion during the last year General Carter estimated that before the end of the current year the guard would number 160,000 men or some 10000 more than in the regu. lar army. Pointing out that available funds for this year provide for only 122,0OO men, the. report says that un. less increased appropriations are al lowed there will be trouble ahead for the militia bureau.
 As existing laws prescribes the pay of the guardsmen General Carter says there appears to be no way to avoid creation of a deficiency except by re fusing to recognize additional units duly organized under provisions of the law.
 "Such action," he adds, Twill surely cause bitter feelings and charges ot bad faith; it will crush the present rising tide in the organization of our second line of defense"
 Appended to the report are state ments from army officers as to pro gress in organizing various guard units in the various corps.
 Col F. O. Johnson of the eigth corps
 'ndquarters at -ort Sam Houston reports favorable progress in guard development in rizona Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas
 Tn the ninth corps area Colonel Rob ert s. Noble reports from the Presidio Gal, that it is confidently expected al units allotted by the militia bureau fol the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922 will be promptly organized" His re port covered organization work ir many states.

 TON IN RATES.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Delegate from Alaska Dan Sutherland, having been in conference with the shipping board on the Alaskan transportation situation in an endeavor to have the Board either furnish government ships for tn eAlaska trade or bring about a reduction of rates, said today that the conferences were suspended on infor- nation which had been received from the Alaska steamship lines, which he said contemplated sharp reduc> tion in rates.

RIVER BOATS WILL NOT COMPETE
 WITH RAILROAD

MT. E. Volkman arrived on the train Thursday from the Interior and is stopping at the Van Glider Hotel while he is in Seward. He will go south on the Northwestern en route to Los An geles.
 MT. Volkman is a pioneer merchant For the past several years he has been agent for the White Pass people at Tolovana. Prior to that time he was manager of a mercantile store at Fox and at various times was connected with the old A. c. company.
 According to MT Volkman, the White Pass and Yukon people will operate two boats on the Yukon this next season to carry silver ore from Mayo to St Michael. It is estimated that two or three thousand tons of ore will be shipped down the Yukon this summer. The boats which will be op erated will be the Herman and the Alaska. There will be no boats oper> ated by this company on the Panama rived. They 1cft considerable money last year because most of the freight and passengers for Panama river points were carried by the government railroad, and they will not attempt to compete with the railroad this year.
 It is expected that the shipment of ore from the Mayo district down the Yukon will be only temporary because it is planned to extend the White Pass and Yukon railroad from Whitehorse on into the Mayo and Stewart river district, and probably to Dawson. It is believed that the magnitude of the silver deposits in that district will warrant the construction of the sev-. eral hundred miles of railroad
 MT. Volkman will spend some time in the south looking over prospective. investments and will probably return north this summer.

DEAN 0F ALASKA
 PUBLIC OFFICERS SAILS FOR SOUTH

One of the most picturesque figures in Alaskan official history is in Sew ard on his way to California, where he will locate. Cornelius L. Vawter, after twenty-three years of life in Alaska as an official of the Department of Justice will leave the territory on the steamship Northwestern to take up his residence i6n San Diego. MT. Vawter is beyond a doubt the dean ot public officers in Alaska.
 Prior to 1898 Mr Vawter was a sue cessful silver mine operator in Mon tana. Then came the slump in silver and the subsequent closing of many mines throughout the western States. In the year 1898 MT. Vawter was ap- pointed deputy United States mar shal by U. s. Marshal Shoup and was stationed at St. Michael. At this time there was but one Judicial Division in Alaska. The headquarters of the court was at Sitka. In 1898 Vawter took a number of criminals from St. Michael to Sitka, among whom was Homer Bird, who was convicted of murder, .after- -41Ma- -.XerY. sensational trials, and hanged at Sitka. He was the first man legally executed in the Territory.
 In 1900, the Second Judicial Division with headquarters at Nome, was es- tablished and MT. Vawter was appoint ed United States marshal for the new division. MT. Vawter was marshal all through the stirring days of the regime of the notorious Judge Moves. He was the officer that took the infamous Alexander Mckenzie to San Francisco under arrest upon charges of contempt of court of the Circuit Court of Ap- peals. MT. Vawter was an important witness against the Moves and Nc Kenzie crowd, made famous by Rex Beach's story, "The Spoilers"
 Subsequently, MT. Vawter returned as deputy marshal stationed at Unga, and when H. K Love was made mar shal of the Third division MT. Vawter was placed in charge of the Valdez office. When the Fourth division was created in 1909, Mir Vawter accompa- nied Marshal Love to Fairbanks, and has since served as deputy of the Fourth division at Iditarod and for the past several years has been stationed at Fort Gibbon.
 It is understood that Marshal Stew ems desired to retain MT. Vawter, but after these many years of service he has determined to seek a place where the waters run more smoothly and life is not so strenuous.
 The memoirs of MT. Vawter drawn from his 23 years of official life in Alaska, passing through the troublous times at Nome, the early Alaskan life of turmoil and strife, the stirring epi- sodes of frontier life, would fill vol umes of fact. stranger than fiction, a portrayal of human nature at it's best and in it's elemental passions.
