Pair Of Robins Seem
To Regard Laurel AS
Their All-Year Home

At least one pair of robins de-
cided to make this a year-round
home. Others may also have be-
come enamored of Laurel, it's eli
mate and citizenry, but robins APP
pear so much alike that to say
how many would be pure specula-
ton.
All winter there have come re-
ports to the Outlook office of rob-
ms being seen, and even now with
nov covering the ground and the
mercury diving below zero at night
the birds continue TO delight the
homes where bread crumbs and 9TH
er edibles may be found on the
premises.
At first it was thought the robins
were harbingers of an early spring,
but the evidence seems to indicate
they have become permanent resi-
dents.

German War Prisoners
(NeW York Timesl

Until treaty of peace is signed the Powers which made war on Germany have the legal right to hole German prisoners of war Their moral right to do so is more questionable The tragic fact that two years after the end of hostilties millions have not yet been repariaed was under heated consideration at Moscow Of all the nations represented there the United States the ceanest record in this respect ana one of which we be proud. Vast hordes of fighting Germans surrendered to conquering armies in Africa Itay France, Belgium Luxembourg and Ger many Of these we now hold only l5,l03 outside ot Germany a bare l03 of them in the United States France still has 63l 482 and. Britain 435O0o. Russia has not yet furnished an official figure put lass the Russian news agency, puts it at 890532 still in Russia with lOO3974 repatriated. This is believed to be gross understatemen for propaganda purposes. Previous estimates by other nations have indicated total of somewhat under 30000o0 which might be much larger if German civilian nationals illegally seized were added.
 Of course the United States never had the excuse for holding these men that Russia France and Britain have Our country was not devastated as theirs were There is certain justice in forcing the Germans to rebuild and repair what they so systematically de- stroved Many of these prisoners, however, are not used for that purpose but are employed miners, farmers and indeed, to replace any labor shortage which may exist in the victorious nations In France and no doubt Russia, too, they have become more or less essential to the national economies. In Ger many itself in all the zones of occupation thousands more are organized as labor forces under restraint and command of the occupying Powers No matter where they theirs is essentially slave labor Ihey are compelled to work against their will at tasks they do not choose often under great hardship under conditions they cannot control The statement Of the Italian Minister War that 90 per cent of the Italian prisoners of war held in Russia died throws sinister light on those conditions.
 Moreover it is an extenslor whether by design or not of the brutal Naz policy of draining enemy states of their manpower and thereby reducing their national birth rates. In Germany today there is shocking slrpusage of women and corresponding shortage of men, leading inevitably to moral degradation. Every day that her war prisoners withheld from their homes and wives weakens the coming German gen. eration may beyond repair Liberal voices in the United States, England and even in France which has little sympathy to waste Germany, have been raised against this policy It is significant that they have finally penetrated the Moscow conference The fact that the whole subject was under review there raises the hope that repatriation of German pris oners will be promptly speeded.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS

William l. Paul, ST, mer.ter of the executive committee of the Alaska Native Brotherhood ana an Alaskan Indian, has written personal letter to the Senate Committee on Appropriations containing few suggestions towards remedying the Alaska Native Services confusion over reduced appropriations
 He suggests that the office simply cut out non- essential expenditures and concentrate the job is supposed to do and it will have plenty of money.
 Paul has written the letter in his personal capacity, he says, although I am member of the AasKa Native Brotherhood executive committee because of opposition of two members thereof who are employed by the Alaska Native Service.
 Paul suggests that the office concentrate on education medical service and relief of desttution.
 It has no legal duty or authority to attempt to regulate morals Paul points out, yet employs two officers for the enforcement of liquor laws among the natives These two officers spend much of their time promoting the peculiar politics of the Indian Office that we not persuaded the real interest of the OLA to save the from the evils of liquor a primary concern" he charges.
 Furthermore he points out, the duty of enforcing liouor laws lies with the U. S District Courts, the U S. Marshas and District Attorneys and t these officers do not enforce the law what good will even two ol three hundred Indian Office enforcement officers do?
 The job of Director of Native Resources" anc plans assistant, Paul is non-essentia Al requested salary increases need not be allowed.
 The department could also be smplified, eiminat ing the need for many employees, he says As ar example of the confusion Paul illustrates follows:
 The village school principal must report to th' administrative assistant, who must report to the administrator who refer it to conference witt the general superintendent who must refer it to tht right department in the Chicago office who must also call conference which must refer it to the Assist ant Commissioner of Indian Affairs, who then refers

SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO OLDEST MOTHER
 LIVING iN JUNEAU

An article appearing in AL askas Magazine in the April, 1905, issue, under the heading Wrangell Mining District and written by Paul D. Range, states that gold was discovered on the bars of the Stikine River in 1846.''
 This was of special interest to the family of one Juneau resident, who can possibly claim to be the oldest resident of Juneau She is Mrs. Sally Fox, who was about nine years old at the time of the discovery of gold in the Stikine River, making her at this time about no years old.
 According to her husband, Mrs. Fox is still in good health, never sick he says, but she does show signs of weakness and has to lie down quite often.
