PHILIPPINES A
BURDEN- TO US
LANE BELIEVES INSULAR POS
SESSION A MENACE TO
THIS COUNTRY
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Sena
tor Lane's opinions on the Philip
pine question were expresseed by
him in the Senate in a briei but
comprehensive statement. He said:
“I notice the remark that so long
as the Philippines remain in the
possession of this government they
will not be liable to attack. My
opinion is just the opposite. I
believe that so long a* they are a
part of this nation, lying 7,000
miles from the nearest coast of
this country, as they do, they are
vulnerable and open to attack, and
would be the first to be attacked
by any nation at war with us in
order to compel Us to defend that
part of our property which is the
hardest for us to defend. I be
lieve they would by reason of their
geographical position, call for an
enormous increase in our army and
navy, and then when the attack
eair.ewe would lose them. In ad
dition to having to defend them
from our enemies at sea, the Fili
pinos, who resent our occupancy of
their country, would attack us from
the rear, and we would have to
fight not only with them but with
the other nations with whcich we
were at war.
"There is an element of great
weakness, as I see it, in our posses
sion of the Philippines. I do not
see how senators, if they consider
the matter carefully from any
view-poi:. which a nation should
take in attempting to defend itself,
can view it otherwise than that
the possession of the Philippine
Islands is a burden upon this
country."

THE CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS
When there is danger of freezing j
move plan's from window and wrap
newspaper around them. Do not j
water them in very cold weather, as
tliey will freeze easier.
Begonias require more water than
geraniums.
When poinsettia is through bloom
ing, about Februaryl, cut it back,
place in cool dark cellar and do not
water for a month then bring it
;:i place m a sunny window and
water freely. It will grow and
bloom the next Christmas.
Hyacinths and tulips will also
bloom again next winter, if put
away until next November.
House plants if treated right will
always repay time and care spent
on them.
RUSSIANS ARE ACTIVE
ON ALL THE LINES
PETROGRAD.- Feb. 10.—The war
office communication issued today
says:
“The German artillery has bom
barded Shlok and opened active
fire in the region of Lake Babit.
“On the middle Stripa our scouts
surrounded an Austrian detachment
of rural guard'. In the hand-to
hand encounter that ensued most
of the Austrians were bayoneted.
The others were captured.
"A great increase in the number
of enemy deserters has been obser
ved recently.
‘In the Caucasus the operations
during the past fortnight against
the Turkish front justified our ex
pectations. Gen. Youdevitch pur
sued the enemy and threw their
advance guards in the fortifica
t ens of Erzerum. Russian troops
compelled the Turks to evacuate
the region of Melazghert and Khu
ysskala and retreat on the Mush
valley. These operations have
had the result of dislodging the en
emy from a region about forty
miles long.
“We will now descend from the
mountainous region, with their rig
orous climate, into regions well
populated and easily accessible, and
favorable for the encampment of
our troops for the period of the
winter.
"In the course of theseo perations
we took numerous prisoners of
Turkish officers and Askaris and
:r.- machine guns, great quanti
ties of artillery and engineering
material.”

FORMULA for clothes
BLEACH
Javelle Water.—Occasionally a
bleach of some kind is needed to
remove stains and Javelle water is
perhaps the safest. However, it
should not be used regularly and
should be made very dilute. Fol
lowing its its use rinse the fabric
thoroughly and dip in water con
taining ammonia.
1 lb. washing soda.
1 pt. boiling water.
*2 lb. chloride iime.
2 pts. cold water.
Disolve the soda in the boiling
water in an enamel pan, the chlor
ide of lime in the cold water. Pour
the liquid off the latter, after it has
settled, onto the soda. Bottle tightly
'and keep in dark place.
Stains should alwas be attended
to before laundering. If soap and
water will not remove them there
i is danger of setting. The longer
a stain stands the more difficult
: it is to remove. Avoid using strong
alkalis on silk and wool, as they
are softened and yellowed by these.

SECRETARY REDFIELD CON
FERS WITH KETCHIKAN
MAN AND OTHERS
Secretary of Commerce William
C. Redfield yesterday took up in
real earnest the question of over
timing the conditions that have di
verted a heavy portion of the Pu
e‘ Sound and Alaska halibut fleet,
itches from Seattle to Prince Ru
pert, B. C. He seeks to restore
the former status of affairs when
the fleet sent all its halibut from
ovihern banks to Seattle for
shipment to Eastern markets.
This news was received this morn
ing in a special dispatch from W.
W. Jermane. correspondent for the
Times in Washington. D. C.
With the completion of the Grand j
Trunk Pacific Railroad and the I
construction of cold storage facili- I
ties in Phince Rupert, the Cana
dian cabinet issued an order in coun- I
oil allowing the American schooners j
of Seattle and Alaska to land their !
catches in the British Columbia !
port for shipment in bond to Chi
cago and other Eestem markets.
In the dispatch Jermane reports j
that Redfield yesterday afternoon j
held a conference with Sen. Johnson. |
chairman of the Senate’s fisheries j
committee on territories; Represen- j
tative Houston, chairman of the
House's committee on territories; ;
Solicitor Alfred Thurman, of the
department of commerce; Dr. Hugh j
H. Smith, United States commis- I
sioner of fisheries, and H. C. Strong
of Ketchikan, Alaska.
The conference reviewed the sit-1
lation in detail. It was decided \
"hat Secretary Redfield should ask
the advise of the state department i
^s to the authority of the United I
States, under its treaties with Great \
Britain, to take such action as will j
restore former conditions in regard
to the Seattle gateway. Redfield;

ALASKANS SEE SNOW
WANT TO GO BACK
“For the luva Mike, cap, turn
the boat around and let’s »U go
back to Alaska!” exclaimed most of
the fifty-five passengers on the
Border Line steamship Al-Ki, Capt.
Charles L. McGregor, when she ar
rived in port this morning from the
North, after a pleasant and unevent
ful voyage. The passengvrs took
one good look at the long mounds
of snow piled up beside the tracks
on Railroad Avenue and then at the
network of white ditches through
which they would walk to get to
First Avenue. All had the same
impulse.
While Seattle residents were
wearing out their foot-gear in lab
oring through the snow the past
week, the Al-Ki passengers had a
voyage south that approached de
lightful. The steamship encounter
ed few light falls of snow, but other
wise conditions were comfortable.
The passengers were so astonished
when they caught their first glim
pse of Seattle streets that they
hardly knew how to express them
selves.
The steamship brought 500 cases
of canned salmon, a shipment of
ftc ’ md consignments of mis
cellaneous cargo.
