ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, THURSDAY, APRIL 2<>, 1D17.
JUST A QUESTION OF TIME.
Reading between the lines in the piteous appeal made by a
leading German newspaper to tin* people of Germany not to
quit lighting for the “sake of a mouthful of bread," one may
readily gain an insight into the conditions in the German em
pire. The people of Germany are in want for the necessities ol
life. There can no longer be any doubt on that score. And
they arc not going to light much longer. Already, signs of dis
content, as evidenced by labor strikes, prevail throughout the
empire. This is hut the beginning of the downfall of the Prus
sian military system. \Ye predict that the war will come to
an end by a revolution in Germany. The common people of
that empire will rise in their might, as they did in Russia, and
force the abdication of the kaiser. With the kaiser and his
military advisers out of the way forever, it will be a compara
tively easy matter to settle on terms of peace. The allied pow
ers have repeatedly announced that they are lighting against
the German military system, not against the German people
as a class. When the German people themselves force the
abdication of the kaiser, the prime reason for a continuation
of the war will have been removed.
Yesterday’s dispatches indicate that the abdication of the
kaiser may come about sooner than expected. The informa
tion, coming from sources that appear to be credible, is to the
effect that the closest advisers of the kaiser are seeking to get
him to voluntarily abdicate. They realize, apparently, that
lie had better get out voluntarily than be forced out by the de
mands of public opinion. They see the handwriting on the wall.
Whether the strong-willed emperor will yield to their request,
remains to be seen. Rut in any event, the kaiser is doomed to
vacate his throne. It is only a question of time.
Any student of current history must realize that the Rus
sian revolution which resulted in the forced abdication of one
of the most powerful inonarchs of the world, is but the begin
ning. As Russia freed herself of autocratic rale, so will the
German empire, the dual monarchy of Austria Hungary, and
other old-world powers, free themselves of their kingly leeches,
end tIk* people will rule, as they should, in this enlightened day
and age. throughout the world.
PAYS RESPECTS TO FORMER RESIDENTS.
The editor of the Valdez Prospector is about the most
chronic grouch in Alaska. He has not a kind word to sa\
about any other Alaska town, and now descends to taking a
fling at former residents, many of whom are located in Anchor
age. Replying to an editorial in the Weekly Democrat, the
grouch says:
“And it might be just a> well to remind the editor of the
Democrat that while we are willing to admit that he has many
of the former population of Valdez at Anchorage, we are get
ting down on our marrow bones each night praying that he will
keep them there. ”
While some of us former residents of Valdez have not for
gotten the good old town on Prince William sound, we are not
especially enthusiastic over the psesimistic attitude assumed
by tin* editor of the Prospector. To show that our affection for
Valdez was more than skin-dee]), when the news of the incen
diary fire reached this town, nearly every former resident of
the Prince William sound metropolis dug in his pocket and
contributed toward a fund that was raising to assist in the
prosecution of the fiend who fired the town. And the thanks
we get for it, is the fling printed above. But we are quite sure
that the Valdez publication does not represent public senti
ment in that town. It never has. as a matter of fact, since the
present control assumed charge.
ENGINEERS WORKING ON PLANS TO OPEN
TREADWELL MINES BELOW OLD WORKINGS
.1UNEAU, April -(>.—The central hoist of the Treadwell
mines, the second largest in the world, is sinking fast and in
a few hours it will entirely disappear, at the present rate of
subsidence. Engineers are now considering plans for the work
ing of tile great mines below the old levels but it will require
some time to develop the plan of work, if attempted at all.
The Ready Bullion mine has been saved and is working about
bOO miners. Two or three hundred are employed in wrecking
the debris caused by the subsidence, while most of the other
miners thrown out of employment by the disaster have secured
work in the mines on the .hmeau side of the channel.
