ALASKAN WOMEN
 ARE LAUDED
Los Angeles Times Gives Re- port of Activies of Women
 by Mrs. Robeson.

The following article appeared in the Los Angeles Times recently;
 Far away Alaska is none too re- mote from the center of activities to prevent women there from being in terested vitaily in club life.
 Interesting reports are given of the spirit of cooperation in civic mat ters, literature, music and world at large problems in which residents of Juneau and Wrangell, and uie1r up into the Klondike are manifestinS. by Mrs. Rodman Robeson, prominent leader from Alaska, here for the winter
 Women have one object in com- mon in Alaska and that is that the time may soon come when Alaska will emerge from territorial lmita- tions to the privileges of a state.
 Alaska has no voice in national matters. It is governed from Wash ington without regard to local per sonnel.
 "The Territory is one of the rich est in the world It's mineral output alone would make nation wealthy. The salmon packing industry is an 1 immense one.
 But home rule Is denied Alaska, and the population therefore does not increase.
 Great significance has been at- tached recently to the visits of the navy in Alaskan waters.
 "Women's clubs there are doing all that they can to bring the attea- tion of Alaska's resources to the world at large, and to attract a per manent population that Alaska may come in to her own as a state with her own governmental cabinet"
 Mrs. Robeson is one of the most hospitable of hostesses in her Ala,ka home, and during the last summer she entertained at many affairs for women, many of whom were Ca!i- l fornians, and high in the social world.

pARIS, Jan. 25.-People of the north of France whose territory was so long occupied by the enemy, have not forgotten or forgiven the Ger mans for their excesses in the war.
 A war council at Lille has just passed a number of sentences against German officers and soldiers for crimes committed during the in- vasion. The condemned were not present to be tried, so that these sentences can only be put into effect if one of the guilty persons should be arrested in France.
 General Muller was condemned to five years imprisonment and 500 francs fine for stealing objects of art and furniture at Caudry.

TO FIGHT FOR
 COMPENSATION
 FOR VETERANS
American Legion Will Take Fight Direct to Cham
 bers of Commerce.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Jan 25.-The American Legion will plead it's case for adjusted compensation before every Chamber of Commerce in the country, according to a plan of Han ford MacNider. national commander.
 The Legion's object is to obtain a decision favorable 10 compensation in the nationwide referendum on the subject which has been called for by the United States Chamber of Commerce at Washington. This body went on record against compensation at it's last annual meeting and has since waged a bitter fight on the Legion's bill, but there have been in. dications that it's attitude has not re- flected faithfully the stand of many of it's individual members. Chambers in such important cities as Cleye- land. Ohio; Seattle, Washington i; Portland, Oregon, and some 20 oth- CTS have openly repudiated the posi- ton of the national organization and have adopted resolutions supporting compensation
 That the Legion's attitude has been befogged by opponents of the meas ure is charged in letter from Mac Nider to the president of the Federal Chamber. copies of which have been distributed to every post MacNider claims that mistaken idea of the bill has been spread abroad by the persistent attack on the leash bonus" clause, which is only one of five pro visions for adjusted compensation.
 Cash. vocational training, paid-up 20-year endowment insurance. farm or home aid. and land settlement are the five optional forms, and Mac

BERLIN, Jan. 25.-Pet dogs have become so popular among the feni- nine population of Berlin that thea ter managers have been compelled 10 install rooms where the dogs may be checked. Some patrons complain that none of the theaters have made similar provisions for checking babies and think this is an unwarranted dis crimination.
 During the intermissions the wo- men repair to the dog room" aad feed the animals with bits of sanj- wiehes which it has become the GUS tom for theatergoers to eat between the acts.

 The population now consists of an assortment of oil field followers and thousands of men and women seek ing employment, leaving an old field for the new, coming on trains from all parts of the United States, or in wagons, trucks or horseback, ' some bringing their assortment Of household goods and camping outfits and finding from ten to hundred men for every job, and DO place available for spending the night.
