DEFENDANT WINS
 ISLANDER CASE
 PROVING ILLUSION

BERLIN, Aug. 20 fb-Professor A. Moll, one of Berlin's foremost psy- chophysicists was victorious recently Ill islander suit brought against him by Frau Rudloff, a spiritualistic me- dlum for criticising her performances. He said that no one could speak of a spiritualistic phenomenon only then. if every step of the seance could be carefully watched and controlled by some licensed state institution, such as the Techno-Physical institute.
 As the trial progressed Professor Moll proposed that a seance be held in the courtroom and that Frau Rud- lof be requested to show her tricks. She strongly objected, however, stat ing that the atmosphere of a court room was not conducive to summon

SURVEY AMERICAN .INCOMESSHOW HOW
 MONEY FLUCTUATE

NEW YORK, Aug. 21 (P)-The to- tai current income" of the American people rose from $67, ,254 100000 in 1919 to $74,159, ,000,00O in 1920 and de- clined to s62,736, 100000 in 1921. These figures are contained in a report to be issued by the National Bureau of Economic Research which summar- izes the results of an exhaustive in vestigation upon which Dr. Milford I. King, Maurice Leven and corps of assistants under the general direc- tion of pr. Edwin F. Gay and Dr. Wes- ley c. Mitchell, co-directors of re- search of the bureau have been engag- ed since the summer of 1922. Anoth- CT outstanding revelation by the re- port is that 34,00O000 persons engaged in "gainful occupations" do not re- port taxable income and do not pay income taxes.
 The sharp drop of eleven and one half billion dollars from the imitation period of 1920 to the depression year of 1921 was the greatest fluctuation in the nominal total national income recorded in the bureaus income stu dies running back to 1909.
 In the latter year the total income is shown to have been s27,000,000 000. It rose steadily to s32, ,OOO,OO000O in 1913 and then dropped to s31, ,600,000,- 900 the next year. Beginning in 1915 the trend started upward again mak- ing annual leaps until the peak was reached in 1920

RANGER VISITS FOX RANCH ON
 WINGHAM ISLE
SURVEY OF NEEDED TRAILS IN kATALLA DISTRICT IS COM
 PLETED BY DEPARTMENT

Forest Ranger E. M. Jacobson re turned to Cordova last week on the Shamrock, from ten day trip to the Katalla district, announced the Cor dova Daily Times.
 During this time he apraised Wing. ham Island, which has been lately added to the Chugach National For est by presidential proclamation.
 Wingham Island has been operat' ed successfully as a fox island for over twelve years, and during this period the operators have held the island under what is known as the "squatter's rights" Up to the time when it was included in the Chugach Forest it was administered by the Government Land Office, which can not issue fox island permits under the existing regulations.
 MT. Jacobsen reports that the is land is we'll stocked with blue foxes and is very we'll adopted to it's pres ent use. During the last trapping season a dead whale drifted ashore which resulted in the operator be- ing handicapped in trapping foxes, because finding so much meat they would not visit the baited pens, and the food houses where they ordinar- fly obtained their food. This island is operated by Frank Townsend and Otto Reopen.

s. B. COMBEST IS KILLED BY

CHlcHAGOFF MINE SUPT. FALLS DOWN SHAFT AND IS KILL
 ED, SAYS EMPIRE

A telegram received by H. L. Faulk- ner last week at Juneau, advises that s. B. Combest, acting superintendent of the Chichagoff mine fell down a chute and was killed. The body was brought to Juneau on the motorship Virginia ".
 Mir. Combest was about 38 years of age, and was former resident of Douglas Island where he was in charge of the cyanide plant of the TreadweIl mine when it was in op- eration a number of years ago. Sev- eral months ago he returned north to take charge of the cyanide plant at the Cnichagoff mine He was made acting superintendent of the prop erty when George T. Jackson, man. ager, left last week on a business trip to the states. MT. Jackson, now in Seattle, has been advised of his death.
 MT. Combest is survived by wife and two daughters, who are at Chi chagoff. Mrs. Combest was before her marriage Miss Mabel Nicholson, and is the neice of Ed Andrews, the photographer of Douglas. She met MT. Combest in Douglas when he came there to visit with her uncle and they were married ten or twelve years ago.

ing spiritual phenomena. Professor Moll then played the part of the spir- itualist without darkening the court room and requested the judge to be the medium. The latter's eyes were covered and the professor placed both points of drawing compass in his hands and then removed them. The judge failed to notice this and main tained that both points were still resting on his hands Several other experiments of a like nature were made by Dr. Moll to prove that many things that to the occultist may ap- pear like something supernatural in fact have quite a rational explanation.
 The court found Dr. Moll not guilty of the charge.

SPITZBERGEN
 SETTLEMENTS
 ARE FRIENDLY

NY AALESUND, Kings Bay, Spitz- bergen, Aug. 21 (P)-To talk to Nor wegians about Kingsbay is to invite trouble. They in<ist that the name of this settlement is New Aalesund, because it is owned by Norwegian Coal Company, whose headquarters are at the old city of Aalesund on the west coast of Norway.
 There is much good natured rivalry between the two Norwegian settle ments, Long Year City and Ny-Aales- und. The former boasts of having the most northerly church, the latter brides itself on the most northerly railway in the world just below the 18th degree north latitude. The ia miliar sound of locomotive whistle breaks the Arctic stiffness with an eerie effect. The track is couple of miles long and connects the local mine with the pier.
 There is not tree in the whole of Spitzbergen but botanists say that there are 13O species of Towering plants to be found in the short Arc Ii csummer.
 At Ny-Aalesund were the only ex- amples of carefully tended graves. Two mounds on the bleak headland behind which Amundsen's polar plane sheltered, cover, according to inscrip- tions the remains of a young mother and two year old child.
 One senses tragedy at the sight of these two lonely graves, but it is diff fcult to contemplate the hundreds of namesless graves further north on the island without shudder at the thot of the sufferings of human beings who perished in these Arctic wastes. Most of these graves reveal half covered skeletons which have been disturbed by polar bears and other wild animals.

It follows from this that England

nerve to have this plan-which has
been formally brought forward by
Germany but in reality was worked
out by them-publicly and thoroly dis
cussed in order to compel France
openly to pronounce its attitude to-
wards it. The most important means
to this end are the pressure Of Ameri-
ca as the creditor of France, and the
English offer Of partial military guar
antee of the French frontiers.
ENRENCH imperialism on the other
hand, for the reasons mentioned
above, has, of course, every cause to
reject this plan, that is to do every
thing in order not to commit itself.
Thus French imperialism retreats to
the platform of the so-called Geneva

will, is showing a more friendly

order to disturb the English group OF

THE real purpose of the Anglo-Ger-

seen from the secret document Of the
Foreign Minister Chamberlain, which

of the capitalist world Is the Soviet
Union. Against the latter every group
Of powers must be directed. In this
group Germany can play very inn
portant role, thanks in the first place
to its chemical industry (Rhineland).
A military alliance with France, with
the inclusion Of Germany. would pro-
mote the English war plans in the
Baltic, but also weaken the disagree
able French rival by separating 1t
from its European allies. For this
purpose there is dangled before Ger
many the bait of an eventual revision
of the division Of Upper Silesia, of
the Polish corridor and of the prohi-
bition of the inclusion of Austria in
the German republic. By such means
the bloc of the little entente and Po-
land would be undermined and brot
under English influence.
II the French imperialist press ex-
presses it's fear of an approaching
German-Austrian-H bloc, it
really means the fear of an English
bloc. If Germany maintains its offer
accompanied by ambiguous express
siOns of friendship to the Soviet I'm
ion, this is the result Of the all too
justified fear (as the plaything Of the
imperialists, abandoned by the Soviet
Union and completely isolated) OF
falling heavily to the ground between
the various stools. In spite of this,
