NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 25, 1917.
MAKE OUR OWN POTASH.
The cry of the American farmer and
artisan for potash since the German
supply was cut off by the war has
at last received an answer in the
shape of a statement by an eminent
authority that with a proper co-or
dination of effort this coutnry is able
to produce two millions tons of potash
annually at a cost permitting it to be
sold to the American farmer for fif
teen dollars a ton or less.
Large quantities of the product are
already being turned out in this
country from various sources of sup
ply, notably the vast kelp fields adja
cent to our coasts, but there is still
a far from sufficient quantity pro
duced to supply the demand.
A survey of the potash situation
discloses that here is another line of
industry that should be devoleped by
the government. America Is able to
produce all the potash required for
domestic use If the business can be
centralized to the degree that the
"proper coordination of effort" men
tioned by the authority quoted can be
attained. In no other way can the
result be achieved. And not alone
can we produce all the potash neces
sary for the farmer and artisan but
In so doing we can make ourselves
economically independant of others as
far as potash Is esneemed. During past
years \ve have been able to secure
potash products from Germany so
cheaply that we have utterly failed
to develop our own powers of produc
tion with the result that when the
war came we were hard pressed for
that most Important adjunct to agri
cultural development.
So great has been the dependance
of ourselves and others on th« Ger
man potash supply that a noted Ger
man professor not long ago Intimated
that It lay within the power of Ger
many to dictate which of the nations
should have plenty of food ar.d which
should starve.
Needless to say the remark ' !r>. a
great sense true with respect to the
the United States unless we make up
our mind to take advantage of the
powera of potash production at our
command.
RUSSIA'S BAPTISM OF BLOOD.
Although only scant details of Rus
sian revolution have as yet been
given (to thg world, the more one
hears of the wonderful event the more
It Impresses the people of a liberty
loving country like America.
In fact, it is only in such countries
hs America and Prance and such few
which holds the individual liberty ei
the citizen as tile primary object 01
government, that the real meanlnf
of the remarkable event is realized.
Almost in a day, the greatest auto
cracy, the most powerful imperia
despotism the world has probabl)
even known, has been complete!)
overthrown and the God given graces
of liberty granted its citizens.
Jn many respects the event is om
of the most remarkable that has beer
entered in the pages of a world Ills
tory teeming with tales of nationa
and international strife and dlscorc
involving the overthrow of kings uni
the upsetting of governments foi
ages.
And one of the most remarkablt
features of the revolt is the small loss
of life Involved.
That there was great violence and
stubborn fighting before the abdica
tion of the czar was forced has beer
clearly disclosed by eye witnesses ol
the tragic events of the first days, but
there was only In a limited degree a
repetition of the fearful tragedies that
have marked the majority of popu
lar uprisings in the past.
Yet, withal, it Is clearly apparent
that the French revolution Is to havr
a powerful rival In dramatic interest
and startling Incident when the whole
story shall be told. The causes and
incidents when the whole story shall
be told. The causes : n l incidents of
these two revolutions seein in man.,
ways :o have been eiaselj parallel.
The people In both cases had long
been held In Ignorance, cruelly taxed
and brutally oppressed by autocratic
masters. Apostles spread the desire
for freedom among them and they
finally arose when flesh and blood
could stand no more and threw oft
the oppressors In one gigantic up
heaval of the masses—peasant, artisan
and soldier joining in the common
cause against the representatives of
tyranny and bondage.
The story of the French Terror 'is
know to both young and old as the
most striking and startling episode
in western history and few there are
who have not shuddered at the re
cital of the awful things then perpe
trated In the name of Liberty.
And from out of Russia comes an
equally stirring even though less
bloody tale.
Doubtless thero were tragedies
enough, for tales have come to us ot
sailors ou the warships thrusting
their officers under the ^ce on the
frozen Baltic; of the marching of
vast mobs carrying the severed heads
of officers on pikes and bayonets and
of the ruthless murder of the police
and the burning of houses In which
the still loyal officials were hiding
from the avenging fury of those whom
they had assisted to oppress.
Evidently Liberty was amply bap
tized In blood before the first week
of disorder ended and the people had
come Into tliclr own; but if Russia
shall in the coming days rise ns
France lias risen under the beneficent
banner of freedom all the blood let
ting, all the suffering, will have been
for a glorious national reincarnation
that will be not alone for the benefit
of Russia but for the uplifting and
betterment of the human me*.

PRESIDENT PROCLAIMS
RED CROSS WEEK
The president has designated the week commencing June IS as
'Tied Cross week," and by proclamation has called upon the people
of the United States to lend their assistance to that great organiza
tion which is always the most potent factor in alleviating the suffer
ing and distress of humanity, whether in war or peace. The follow
ing is a copy of the presidential proclamation;
PROCLAMATION.
Inasmuch ns our thoughts as a nation are now turned In united
purpose toward the performance to the utmost of the services and
duties which we have assumed in the cause of justice and liberty.
Inasmuch as but a small proportion of our people can have the
opportunity to serve upon the actual field of battle, but all men, wo
men and children alike may serve and serve effectively by making It
possible to care properly for those who do serve under arms at home
and aboard;
And inasmuch ns the American UedCross Is tho official recognized j
agency for voluntary effort in behalf of the armed forces of the na- j
tlon and for the administration of relief;
Now, therefore, by virtue of my authority as president of the
United States and president of the American Rod Cross, I, Woodrow
Wilson, do hereby proclaim the week ending June 25, 1917, as Red
Cross week, during which the people of the United States will be
called upon to give generously and in a spirit of patriotic sacriflc s
for the support and tfinlntonance of this work of national need.
WOODROW WILSON.
