BEHIND THE TIMES

Bill Shannon, the intrepid dog musher who left several weeks ago for the States to enter the movies, and incidentally to reside the remain. der of his days with the cheechacos has broken into print. Bill" de clares that there is no opportunity for a man in Alaska on account of the Guggenheims having everything throttled.
 Bill" is about six years behind the times as the Guggies unloaded most of their holdings during the war and are now engaged in building up Peru, Chilli and other South Ameri- can republics. They have very few interests in Alaska at the present time and those they now have are for sale.
 Rather than throttling Alaska the Guggenheim brothers were the means of it's opening up. Without their capital Cordova would never have been built, Latouche would yet be a desolate mountainside, and the Cop per River Railroad would not have been constructed. The company paid we'll for its holdings. In fact, they paid many times what the properties they acquired were worth, when one considers the lawsuits brought by alleged stakers, and which they fought for years at an expenditure of many thousand dollars.
 Yes, Bill" is wrong. He has been inside so long that the facts have escaped his notices. If every town in Alaska had a Guggenheim the Territory today would be hive of industry instead of on it's last legs from fighting off capital which has attempted to break in.

Special Council Meet
 Held Last Evening

Y
 The adjourned council meeting from Monday, May 4th, was held last evening. The meeting was held to hear the report of the School committee and on the proposed portion to be built on the Arcade Building. The Street committee, H. B. Selby and Joe Holman not being present therefore no action was talk en.
 The matter concerning the Arcade building died for lack of second to the motion made by Councilman Helm that the permit be granted.
 The special committee, known as the Committee. on Sanitation, re- ported that all was being done to remedy the present condition. Also that an additional fund would be required to take care of what is known as the garbage dump, in a sat isfactory manner.
 The Court Order, concerning the time of lighting the street lights was modified for lights to be discon- tinued after May 10. The light will be discontinued on May 15.
 Upon motion the meeting was ad- journed until the next regular ses- sion of the council

If Seward ceases shuddering long enough to realize the benefits accru- ing from the Jesse Lee Home, every citizen will welcome with open arms the expenditure if the vast amount of money necessary to construct a model place out of wilderness. The expenditure of $100,00O for buildings alone will give employment to every mechanic in the city, and will scat ter the money to every person in the vicinity. We predict that the Home will be pointed to with pride within a year after it's construction and that it will be an object of great in- terest for tourists as well as for the townspeople. Whether the town secures the coveted plum or not, the Rev. R. V. B. Dunlap and wife de- serve great credit for their efforts to locate the orphanage here. It will be the beginning of great pros- perity for the district surrounding the Home site, and the money an- nually expended for supplies a great help to local merchants.

Germans Compliment Women by Chasing Them as Married

BERLIN, May 12.-(P)-Should a maiden lady call herself Frau" or "Fraulein"? This question is being much debated in German women's clubs, suffrage societies, and women's professional organizations.
 The custom is becoming more and more established of referring to wo- men beyond their first bloom as Frau" whether they are married or not. The reason for this is partly the fact that in Europe there is still some prejudice against young women venturing out unescorted. By calling a young woman of marriageable age Frau" the German gentleman feels that he is paying her the compli- ment of assuming that she is mar ried and hence free from molesta. ton.
 Partly, too, the women themselves have favored the designation Frau" as they feel that the spinster is somewhat of an object of ridicule. They argue that as soon as a boy grows up he gets the designation Herr" whether he is married or not, then why should a difference be made between married and unmar- ried women?

 A lighted cigarette end, carelessly cast aside, ignited the dry pine nee dies. The girls tried to put out the fire, but could not, and then gave the alarm, but it was too late. They are now in jail, and will be sued for the loss of the forest.

1t was with a feeling of deep and
frankly apparent sentiment that the
delegates to the Thirty fourth Contin-

Memorial Continental Han today, the
last day they will remain in session.
Through the entire week they had
struggled through their session in
the Washington Auditorium because
Memorial Hall no longer affords suf-

Wife Typical Of Race.
Frau Marx is typical German
housewife and she was loath to ex-
change the quiet of F'riedenau for the
strenuous life of the executive man
sion, when her husband was elected
chancellor.
DIR. Marx stands the rigors of a
political campaign. surprisingly well,
and he has been making several
speeches and rear end platform
addresses daily in the American fash
ion. That his voice holds out, he as
cribes to the fact that he is non
smoker.
The familys close friends consist
mostly of civil service officials from
the Rhineland, who like Marx, have
transferred to the capital.
DIR. Marks interest in music, be
sides his piano, is further manifested
in his patronage of the Anton Bruck-
ner Musical Society His daughter is
said to have inherited her father s
musical talent and likewise his elder
son, who fell on the Russian front
during the World War. His favorite
author is Shakespeare.

PARIS, April 25.-The Communists
have shown Paris for the first time
their military organization. When the
crowds attending the meeting OF con-
servatives came out of the meeting
room the sharp military command
was heard.
"Sharpshooters, ready-frst section,
fire.
Fifty bullets sped into the unarmed
crowds.
The danger of the situation is re-
vealed by the police statement that
most of the soldiers of the Com
munist army" are the scum of Paris,
including many Tonkinese and Arabs
and other irresponsible individuals,
who are willing to kill for few
francs. They are all armed with
pistols and the latest pattern of sharp
poisoned daggers.
The police have found important
supplies of machine gun ammunition,
which were described by their owners
as war souvenirs" and a few letters
proving that the leaders draw sub
stantial monthly allowances from
Moscow.

). Sandwich Episode-Protest
: Is Likely.

The egg sandwich episode involving
Senior Don Jorge B. Joffre of the
Bolivian legation, is expected here to
lead to a change in Don Jorge's dip
lomatic career.
A report from the District Commits.
sioners was presented today to the
State Department. and, while there
was no official comment there, it was
regarded as foregone conclusion that
the attention of Minister Freyre of
Bolivia, would be called to the case
in such way that sooner or later Don
Jorge's assignment would be changed.
Don Jorge was accused by the DO
lice of having forcibly insisted that
q policeman eat an egg sandwich at
the heighth of a party in a Washing
ton restaurant several days ago In
other cases where subordinate officers
of diplomatic missions have found
themselves in difficulties with the DO
lice, and the State Department found
it proper to intervene, ultimate re-
moval of the diplomat to another post,
or even separation from the foreign
service of the government he repre-
sented here. invariably has followed.
