WASHINGTON, D. C.—Secretary
Lansing has received from David It.
Francis, the United Staes ambassador
at Petrograd, a report on conditions
in Russia which states that all the
Russians need to enable them to de
feat Germany is a plentiful supply of
munitions, financial credit and every
equipment. In his message to the
state department Ambassador Francis
urged that this government send these
things to Russia.
Mr. Francis declared that he was
“pained and provoked” to hear there
w^s suspicion in America of Russia
making a separate peace. Of this tie
saw no possibility whatever, asserting
that the provisional government and
people of Russia would make no peace
unless founded on justice and free
dom.
Russia is not making a sufficient
amount of munitions to supply her
armies, and heretofore has been re
ceiving large quantities from England
in addition to those she purchased in
Japan. German submarine operations
are understood to have reduced to a
minimum the amount Russia has beer
receiving from Great Britain and the
supply from Japan is inadequate. Be
cause of a shortage of funds and cred
its also, Russia looks of necessity tc
America to help her in keeping her
tr<#ps effectively equipped.
Besides the shortage in munitions
Russia’s railroad problem is nearly as
serious as any difficulty confronting
the nation and it is not concealed thal
fshe aces disaster unless the needs are
supplied. It is not believed either here
or by diplomatists and government
officials in Petrograd that German
successes would be anything more
ephemeral; but it is thought these
may be avoided if Russia is properly
assisted.

(Juneau Dispatch)
All steamers operated by the Al

coming season will make Skagway a
port of call. Southbound steamers
from the westward other than the
Mariposa and Alameda will not call
at Skagway. These two boats will
call in at that port because they are
able to do so and maintain their
regular schedule, being faster than
the Northwestern and Alaska. This
schedule is in keeping with the sail

GRATITUDE UF
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Maj.-Gen. G.
T. M. Bridges, of the British war com
mission, in a speech before the Ameri
can Newspaper Publishers association
last night, said it was the greatest
wish of his life to see American man
hood fighting shoulder to shoulder
with the Allies.
Former Ambassador Gerard and
Mayor Mitchel criticised Speaker
Clark for his opposition to conscrip
tion. N. W. Rowell, of the Canadian
parliament, brought forth enthusiast
ic cheers for England. Major-Gener
al Wood spoke for compulsory uni
versal service and said he hoped to
fight in Europe.
The representative of the British
army on the commission headed by
Foreign Minister Balfour told with
pride of having fought under Marshal
Joffre at the Marne and was given an
enthusiastic welcome.
“He is the man of whom it may be
said, that he saved the civilized world
at the battle of the Marne,” said the j
soldier of England in his tribute to the
great French commander. He de
clared the soldiers of England and
Franee would like to see the Stars and
Stripes flying beside the Tricolor and
the Union Jack upon the field of bat
tle.
Speaking as the representative of
Mr. Balfour, General Bridges brought
with him to the dinner something of
the spirit of the battlefields of France
and Belgium. He was able to tell
from his personal experiences of the
scourge of Belgium at the beginning
of the war. It was not the work of
undisciplined soldiers, he declared,
but was the deliberate plan of the
highest German army authorities.
Patriotism was the dominant note
of the dinner, from the decorations to
the speeches. The invocation was a
plea that the strength of the nation
be devoted to “humanity’s holy cause”
and Job E. Hedges, the toastmaster,
proposed a composite toast to the
president, the king of England and
the president of France.
“Nothing would have given Mr. Bal
four greater pleasure,” said General
Bridges, “than to have been present
at this great representative gathering
tonight. He greatly regrets that the
urgent nature of his business (for the
mission is really of a business char
acter, and has not come merely to ex
change courtesies and compliments)
has prevented him from accepting
your very kind invitation.
“He felt, however, that the occasion
was one of great importance, and he
asked me personally whether I would
go to New York in order to express on
his behalf and on that of all the mem
bers of the mission, our profound gra
titude for the generous and cordial
welcome with which we have been re
ceived in this great country of yours.
Being a soldier, I obeyed, and happily
for me duty and pleasure went hand
in hand.
“We came into the war in the cause
of civilization to make it clear to the
world that Might was not Bight, and
o make it impossible for such things
ever to happen again. We do not fight
for territory, indemnities or national
iggrandizement, but for an ideal—the
reedom of mankind and the right to
live of small nations, and those who
light for ideals go on striving until
Jmy attain them, or perish in the at
tempt.
“Iho chic" reason that the Allies
so heartily welcome your great coun
try into the arena of war is that you
see things with our eyes, and follow
ing up the inestimable services you
have rendered us in the past, you are
determined to mobilize your vast re
sources and to strike for the cause of
liberty and to make the world a decent
and a fit place to live in.
“I spoke this morning with a great
soldier, Field-Marshal Jolfre. He is
a man of whom it may be said that he
saved the civilized world at the battle
of the Marne.
“I was proud to think that I had
the honor of serving under him, and
that even in those early dark days of
the retreat from Mons we felt confi
dent that his genius would stem the
tide of invasion.
“Now it has turned, and French and
British soldiers, fighting shoulder to
shoulder, are rolling back the enemy
and freeing those portions of France j
and Belgium which he has so ruth
lessly devastated.
“There is a fine old military maxim
which says, 'When in doubt, march to
the sound of the guns,’ and it is there
upon those fields of battle that we
should like to see the manhood of your
nation, and to see the Stars and
Stripes fly beside the Tricolor and the
Union Jack.
“People out here have expressed
surprise that our friendship with the
French had stood the test of nearly
three years of war, but this is not sur
prising, for the war is not a war of
races, but a war of ideas, and we are
fighting together against an armed
doctrine.
“In conclusion I beg to thank you
most cordially, not only on behalf of
Mr. Balfour and his mission, but in
the name of the armies of Great Brit
ain, which I have the honor to repre
sent, for the honor that you have done
us and the great cordiality you have
shown, and when I return to France
and to the music of the guns, as 1
hope shortly to do, I shall look back
on this evening as being to me a land
mark in history, for I have seen a
great nation rising to a great crisis.”
James W. Gerard, former ambassa
dor to Germany, who was the chief
speaker after General Bridges, made
an appeal for universal military serv
ice. It is the only thing which can
save the nation from Prussian mili
tarism, he declared.
He called upon every publisher pres
ent to send a telegram to his paper
directing that it come out flatly for
the administration bill and support it
by every means in its power. “By
doing this,” he said, “you gentlemen
will break a lance for the cause of
freedom. We can’t go into this war
with velvet gloves. We have got to
have this bill.”
Germany is 100 to 200 years behind
the times in liberty and democracy,
Mr. Gerard asserted. “There may be
riots there,” he said, “but there will
be no revolution.”
Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood, who
spoke briefly, said he hoped sooner or
later to be serving with Gen. Bridges
on the French front.
The association has indorsed a pro
posal to raise the price of all one-cent
dailies to two cents. The paper sit
uation was thoroughly discussed yes
terday and a plan to erect mills to be
run by the publishers was urged.
Officers are elected today.

HOME RANGE
NELCHENA DISTRICT, ALASKA
The U. S. Government reports show that only
$40,000 was actually invested in Siberian Rein
deer which were brought to Alaska via New
York and Seattle. The last and largest ship
ment was in 1002. The Government reports
now show a clear profit and valuation of over
$4,000,000.
Now our Reindeer are in the Kuskokwim
valley, which means only a short drive to our
Home Range and an unlimited market.
The United States being involved in the
world war. may have a tendency to send meat as
high as wheat, which has increased 300 per cent
in the last year.
The directors of the Matanuska Reindeer
Ranching <’<>. has closed a contract with Dr. H.
<). Schalebeu to assume the entire management
of this enterprise.
Dr. Schalebeu is undoubtedly the best-post
ed man on Reindeer in Alaska, having been in
charge of the Reindeer industry for the Govern
ment for over five years.
This company now has money enough to put
a herd of Reindeer on its Range. The direct
ors have decided to let a few others in at the
same price so that the herd will be as large as
possible.
