Former Wrangell
 ManWriteS Book
Henry W. Clark Who Was Born in
 Wrangel is Author of A History of Alaska Just Published by the
 Macmillan Company of New York.

One of the latest books to come from the press of the Macmillan company of New York is a History of Alaska. The author, Henry W. Clark, assistant director Of athIet- ics at Harvard University, was born in Wrangell. He is a son of Mrs. Georgia Clark who is a WrangeII resident at the present time.
 Mr. Clark's History of Alaska contains 192 pages and a number ol instructive illustrations. The author modestly explains that his book is only "a history of Alaska and not THE history" and adds that there are obstacles which will prevent THE history" from being written for a long time. What he has en- deavored to do, he says, is to bring together ana summarize important results of recent researches 80 as to afford an authoritative survey of the outstanding events in the history of Alaska, to link it's history at ilnpor- tant moments with contemporary developments of world importance, to describe accurately its present status both with regard to it's eco homie and social conditions and its relations with the rest of the United States, particularly the Federal Government.
 The publisher of the book states that MT. Clark's early residence in Alaska and the ten years he has spent outside its immediate influence gives him both first hand Knowledge and a rare perspective. 1t has ena- bled him to avoid, on the one hand, the booster spirit, and on the other, any feeling of political rancor.
 His records of historical events show that he has devoted a great deal of tune to an exhaustive re- search of the bibliography of Alas ka. lis observations on different SNSSSSbo PSA I0AhAhS bO <A4dohd dlS set forth most candidly. For in- stance, in referring to the Alaska Legislature, he says: Tn 1915, it enranchised Alaskan natives under strict conditions which were made so by the insistence of the Indians themselves. This adds a fairly easi- ly influenced group to the electorate and will not conduce to conservative legislation"
 One chapter of the book is deVot- ed to the ethnology Of Alaska and consumes ten pages. In the closing paragraph of this chapter MT. Clark says:
 There is nothing in this history of local conditions of Alaskan nA- tiYes to show that their future may be different from that of any other primitive, races when 8 superior race has entered. It Is probable that the process of intermarriage with whites will go on. together with the gradual extermination of isolated villages by such eDidemics as influ- enza and smallpox. Today the AL askan aDorigine and his totem mon uments are attractions for the grow ing tourist trade to the region. These attractions will continue to be enhanced as they become more rare. Their story is the familiar one or the vanishing race, and their con tribution to Alaskan history has practically ceased"

Germany Is Bulwark
Against BOlshevism
Says Boss Newspaper

BERLIN.-The "Deutsche ALICE
meme zeitung." the organ of Ger
man heavy industry, publishes a SEN
sational article under the title, why
does Germany isolate itself?" The
article contains, inter ALA, the follow
ing:
"At last the danger of Bolshevism
is being realized more and more in
the world in general and in Germany
in particular. People are beginning
to realize that Germany could be an
important bulwark against bolshe-
vism as a member of the European
and American defense front. Eng
land is anxious, at least conserva-
tive circles in England which will
take over the reins of government
again sooner or later. The question
is raised there: does Germany want
to be a bulWark in defense of boil
shevism or against it2 This is the
question which is in the background
of all discussions between British and
German political and economic lead
ers. Conservative England wants
clarity as to Germanys standpoint.
The best earnest of our sincerity
would be a cabinet of the right wing
with foreign minister, who whilst
not endangering Germany's interests
and whilst making no diplomatic err
rors, would af)pt very different at
titude towards Russia"
This article throws a very clear
light on the secret negotiations
which are proceeding between Ger
man and foreign politicians with a
view to Tightening up the encircle-
ment of the Soviet Union as the first
step to an imperiaist war of inter-
vention.

BOSSES VICTIMLZE
BERLIN STRIKERS

BERLIN.-Thanks to the treachery
of the refornist trade union leaders,
the employers are now in a position
to carry out mass victimization al
though part of their agreement was
that no victimization should take
place.
Sixty workers have been victimized
at the Frister works, 60 in Steffens
& Noelte, Is at the Lorenz works, Is
at the Krupp and Drueckenmueller
works, Is at the Observation-Disclosures
werk, 43 at Siemens Plania works and
the whole revolutionary opposition.
At the Lorenz works the social
democratic trade union official,
Schulz, took up his position at the
gates and only let those workers in
whom he knew not to be members of
the opposition.
In the A. E. G. works in the Acker-
strasse the trade union official, Loef-
fler, declared that all the workers who
struck at the call of the revolutionary
trade union opposition, l. e., one day
before the union called the strike,
would be victimized. The Metal
Workers Union had agreed to these
victimizations.
