Northern Lights
Brilliant
Over Juneau

An unusually brilliant and elabor-
ate display of aurora borealis was
visible over Juneau last night from
1870 o'clock until midnight.
The northern lights appeared first
in a streak from north to south
across the zenith directly overhead,
then famed out in rapidly moving
sheet of color.
Even a full moon failed to dim
the splendor of the aurora, which
was reflected in the snow on top
of Mount Juneau and Mount
Roberts.

} STAMP NEWS

THE sale of new issues on the A London market has been brought almost to standstill by the war. Restrictions on mail from belligerents, and even from Poland and the Czechoslovakian protectorates of Bohemia and Moravia, are blamed.
 British airmail services have been cut off except those operat- ing to adjacent countries. The northern, or Great Circle, Clipper route from U. S. to England has suspended operations. Submarine warfare has slowed surface mails, and until the convoy system is effectively organized, mail dis patch by ships will continue to be delayed.
 Dealings with enemy nations are forbidden British collectors and until neutral nations set up phila- telic brokerage systems, stamp trade in Europe will remain stale mated.
 The war is expected to pro- duce flood of occupational, charity, war tax and other special issues, similar to those issued in l9l4-l9l8. There is no doubt that warning governments, realizing a vast potential income is available in stamp sales, will make the best of the opportunity.
 
 The Postoffice Department has approved the use of new special delivery envelope to expedite service. The envelope will have a bright yellow and green border and can be easily spotted by mail clerks among a mass of ordinary mail. The department will not supply such envelopes, but will permit any company or manufac- turer to print them.

 The lobby at the Regent was in an uproar. The management, with great discretion, had re- moved the rugs and more expen- siye furniture. A dozen old grads had peeled of their coats and were replaying the game over in one corner as a police captain acted as referee.

Let's Tend To Our Knitting
(From The Week, Tacoma Labor
Advocate, Tacoma, Wash.)

Oswald Prov, the South African
Minister, who, to acquire knowledge
of things directly in Europe, visited
Hitler and Mussolini, declared that
Europe is heading towards war in
the spring and, concluded he, "Unless
there is a complete change in the out
look within the next month or two,
the international tension will reach
the breaking point in the spring of
1889"
1t is time that, pondering Pirowss
words, some of those in high places in
this nation change their own outlook
and mind this nations own business,
which is not to be wet nurse to every
nation in the world to have it brought
up along the lines of democracy. What
other nations may do should be their
own business, and any interference in
its affairs are likely as not to involve
US in the world war that may result
among the jittery nations of Europe.
We tried that once and that should be
aplenty. What we got out of it were
millions for munitionists, billions of
war debts, an unnumbered dead,
wounded, gassed and mental wrecks
for our pains and we did not make the
world safe then for democracy. And
we won't in the future.
If we tend to our own knitting we
have social problems to solve that
should keep us busy for long time
yet

Mexico To Indemnify
American Landowners

(By A. E. of L. Weekly News Service)
The action of the Mexican Senate in
ratifying the recent agreement be-
tween Mexico and the United States
regarding payment of indemnity to
American owners of Mexican eXpro-
priated for distribution among the
landless for utilization in farming has
mollifed an acute controversial ques-
ton between the governments of the
two countries.
According to the pact, originally
signed by President Cardenas for Mex
leo and Secretary of State Cordell Hull
for the United States, the agreement
deals exclusively with the amount of
the American claims and the time and
method of payment, but does not IN
volve the principle of further expro-
priation of large landed estates owned
by both Mexicans and foreigners to be
divided into small tracts for agricul-
tural purposes.
In discussing the pact, President
Cardenas said new Mexican budget for
payments to both Mexicans and aliens

in RAIL PROBLEMS

Washington, D. C. NS).-Co-op-
Grafton of capital, management and
workers with government in solving
problems confronting the railroad in
dustry was asked by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in its annual
report to Congress.
"The problem, as we see it, is not
one which admits of any quick solu-
tion but is rather one which will sue
cumb only to well directed, well or
ganized, and continuing campaign"
the I. G. C. said.
"It calls emphatically for the CO.
operation of the managements, Sc
curity holders, and employees of all
types of carriers, shippers and other
patrons, and the government"
The commission reiterated its re-
quest for legislation empowering it
to regulate non-carrier subsidiaries OF
railroads, and to prescribe minimum
as we'll as maximum joint railwater
rates.
