Once more Prime Minister Chamberlain has made
drastic move toward a stronger foreign policy, in
response to grave political threats from dissatisfied
Conservatives in Commons For the first time in the
postwar era England is committed definitely to the
defense of q European state east of the Rhine.
The promise to aid Poland if she is attacked by
Germany is a temporary commitment, to be sure. But
it is designed to safeguard that country pending the
conclusion of a defnitive alliance, including France
England, Russia, Poland and Rumania-an alliance
aimed at blocking German aggression
Although the British people eager to avoid
war they have appauded Mr. Chamberlain's new poll
cy overwhelmingly Apparently they coming to
realize that German expansion eastward is in the long
run a grave threat against the British Empire and
against France.
In particular. Mr. Chamberlain won the plaudits
of the Laborite leaders, of Captain Eden and Win
ston Churchill and of many independents like YER

tween London and Warsaw when the Polish Foreign

Mr. Chamberlain can be expected to crystalline into

coalition could have saved Czechoslovaka last sum-

sacrifice and enslavement of the Czech people, drama

MONDAY. APRIL II. 1899

MONDAY, APRIL II, 1899
Strongly benefic aspects rule to-
day, according to astrology. 1t is an
ideal rule for all who are energetic
and progressive.
The morning should be most ia
vorable for launching important
projects, which should be well di-
rected under this CONFORMATION.
This is date for signing leases
and contracts. Builders as well as
architects come under a sign indi-
eating extraordinary activity. Am
erica is to set new fashions in
dwellings as better housing is adj
,vocated for cities.
This is not a forbidding rule for
those who seek favors, but best re-
suits will be assured by Independent
effort. Those who seek employment
should be lucky today.
Buying and selling is likely to be
brisk this week when fluctuations in
the stock market will be confusing
to spectators 1t is well not to risk
much on chance. Even horse races
may be more uncertain than usual
: Women are lucky today which is
fortunate for weddings, clubs and
social entertainments.
This is lucky date for starting
on journeys. Automobiles will be
more popular than at any former
time for long tricks, but warning is
given of road hazards in the way
of tramps and bandits.
Success for expositions is prog
nosticated. The stars that encotlr-
age cooperation are active and ma.
tional solidarity should be strength
ened.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of progress
toward fortune. Contests or law suits
will be won. Susceptibility to ro-
nance may be evident in both men
and women.
Children born on this day may be
bright, witty and kind-hearted. The
subjects of this sign usually succeed
through personality that accents
talents.

WELCOME HOME, HAIDA

Juneau and Southeast Alaska generally are happy
o welcome the Coast Guard cutter Haida back to
oort today.
No one living along the Alaskan coast needs to be
convinced of the great boom necessity it is to
have this trim little ship ready to render service
to those who need help often badly and Immediately.
Though the Haida has been south from its Ju-
neau base only weeks, two occasions have arisen
during that time in which the cutter was urgently
needed. When troller went ashore Eldred Rock
in Lynn Canal last week the Alaska Game Commits
sion furnished patrol launch in the emergency to
pick up the five survivors More recently the gasboat
Keet lost its propeller and sent out call for help
from False Island in Peril Straits Finally tow was
provided by a private boat.
Fortunately, life lost or seriously endan-
gered in either of these mishaps But even So they
serve to point up the very great usefulness of the
Coast Guard The Hada is taking care of situations
such these the year around The fact that we
miss the cutters good work while it absent for
few weeks is tribute its record of service to the

AMERICA AND EUROPE

President Roosevelts unprecedented direct action
Saturday ID asking Hitler and Mussoln to promise the
world 10 years Of peace viii serve. whatever the an
swen from Berlin and Rome may be, to hasten inter-
na ona affairs toward their fatefu consummation.
Hitler has been referring to himself Of late as
man Of peace Now he is asked simply, by nation
which has no immediate stake in what he might do
next TO Europe to prove his intentions are as good
as bis words

shoulder to shoulder with Hitler is in different boat
e has been brandishing sword for years, but never
using it except against such unworthy opponents
tie Ethiopans and Spanish Loyalists II Duces fond
est belief IS that the Italians are great soldiers whose
force feared throughout the world. Italians, of
course proved themselves in the World War and in
their few armed engagements since to be towards
the battlefield. The routs of Capporetto and Gil 'r-
MICA are fresh in the minds OF Europe. Mussolinis
warlke shouts recognized in the absence of proof
Of some kind, as mouthy bornbast.
Roosevelt has gwen the dictators good out"
But if they ignore the representation from Washing
ton they be marked down as enemies of peace
and international sanity and can be dealt with as
such
The Presidents action places this nation in the
thick of the worlds troubles where is bound to be
anyway if things go on as they have in the past few
months Too often one hears the assertion that the
United States has no business dabbing in European
affairs since this country failed shoulder its share
of responsibility a world power at the end of the
war and thus is in large measure responsible for the
precarious state in which peace finds itself in this
year 1899.
II is true that the United States did not join the
Leagge OF Nations as a full member the World
Court IT'S influence for international order would
have been tremendous in the immediate postwar
period had it done So However, it refused to
cooperate with the League in specific and from
the beginning participated fully in the non-poitca
activities of Geneva.
This nation has acted as first class world power
II was the United States which called and seered to

From that grew the Nine Power Pact reaffirming the
policy Of the Open Door in China and the sovereignty

Washington exered every pressure to insure contin-

was due to a Sinking of responsibilities.
The United States also played its full role in the
disarmament conference which dragged on through
many weary sessions of subcommittee, committees,

"But suffering ended with the day,
Yet lived she at it's close,
And breathed the long, long night away
In statue like repose.

Illumed the easter skies,

And walked in paradise"

the University of Washington
School of Business Administration.
After her graduation she had ma
ny important positions both as ste
nographer and secretary; she was
stenographer in the State Depart
ment of Social Security; secretary
law clerk for the late Clarence R.
Anderson and others, her last po-
sition was with the City Govern
ment in its Traffic Department. A
cold that developed into pneumonia
and other complications caused her
death and cut short career that
promised much at fulfillment.
Miss McIver was charter men,
Der of Beta Theta Chapter, Alpha
Kappa Alpha Sorority, and it was
at her home that this Chapter was
organized, and until her illness she
remained its inspiration. The de-
ceased was also loyal member of
Grace Presbyterian Church, but
she gave her services graciously to
all of the churches, and these mini
sters joined together in paying a
last tribute to her memory.
The services were very sad, sad
because Miss McIver was so young,
she had so much to live for, her
life was so useful, her influence
for good so far reaching. 1t was
hard to believe that she had really
gone. The brave little mother, sur
rounded by the remaining members
of her family, courageously tried
to stay the tears, because Sadie
Mae would not wish her to grieve,"
but she could not. Even the hea-
vens noted her passing as the sun
broke through angry morning
clouds and bathed the earth with
the glorious afternoon sunshine.
It's glory seems to breath the COM
forting words, "All is Well"
Yesterday, those lovely hearts
would not, could not, be consoled,
but today because Sadie Mae
would wish it So" they are able
by faith to say, Thy Will be
Done" Thus the influence of a
beautiful life will live on in the
hearts of those who loved her.

sleeping"
