INDICTMENT AT NOME
FOR CONDUCTING RAEFEE
The first prosecution for violating
the territorial raffle gambling law
was tried at Nome during April.
Referring to the case the Nome Nug
get says: “A complaint sworn to
by Deputy Marshal Harry Pigeon
charging Mrs. Laura Orehm with
promoting and setting up a lottery
contrary to the provisions of Sec
tion 2015, compiled laws of the Ter
ritory of Alaska, was filed by Dis
trict attorney George B. Mundy with
the United States Commissioner, the
alleged violation consisting in the de
fendant having raffled off a diamond
ring some days ago. Mrs. Orehm
was arraigned in the commissioner's
court at throe o’clock this afternoon
and through her attorney, James
Frawley, waived examination and
was bound over to the grand jury in
bonds of $500. The bonds were fur
nished by M. O. Solberg and Fred
Peterson and the defendant was re
leased.”

AMSTERDAM. June 5—‘'Residue
Russia" is the name given to what
is left of the Russian empire by
Professor Paul Rohrback, the Gor
man historian, lecturing before a large
audience in Berlin.
“Petrograd. shorn of the western
provinces, the Ukraine and Bessara
bia, is only a residue. Danger from
Russia in any shape is no longer fear
ed by Germany. Russia is now a
more geographical conception and
nothing more. And it will never be
anything else. Its powers of cohe
sion, reorganization, and reconstruc
tion are gone forever.
“As a world-power Russia has now
ceased to exist, and all talk about the
gr^at nation which has not yet been
destroyed is simply sentimental rub
bish. The nation no longer exists
save as an inchoate mass. Residue
Russia may still have lOO.Oftu.aon in
habitants. This looks stupendous, but
it contains no element of danger.
The great resource and reliance of
Russia used to be her export of grain.
Residue-Russia will be a community of
peasants—90 per cent, of them, with
not too much fertile soil. It will be
thickly peopled, huge in area, but
politically, economically, financially
and militarily weak—a stupid, apa
thetic state of peasants.
“In contrast with Residue-Russia
the sundered territories are capable of
high development. The Ukraine has
the best prospect of developing in
strength and economically. The har
vests could easily be multiplied over
threefold.
“As regards Poland, the less said
the better, but it might he well if
foolish energies could be diverted to
Residue-Russia, where theyr could Pol
onize. Catholicize and agi'ate to their
hearts’ content. That would be a
matter of indifference to us. The lay
ing low of the Russian wall may be
regarded by us as a masterly break
ing through of the encircling policy
pursued against Germany. We have
now the other great task to accom
plish—the bursting of our sea im
prisonment in the " "** “

PRAISE AIREDALE TERRIER
AS VALUABLE M DOE
CHICAGO, June 6—The Airedale,
a shaggy, sad-eyed dog that gained
popularity only in recent years, has
convinced officers of the central de
partment, signal corps, Unitd States
army, of its superiority over all broods
as a canine war messenger.
While official authorization for use
of the Airedale on the battlefields of
Europe has not been issued by the
war department, schools for intensive
courses in training have been estab
lished and officers say that reports
from the various army camps show
that the dogs have made remarkable
progress.
“The Airedale surpasses all other
dogs in point of intelligence, and al
though peaceful, is also most coura
geous,” said one officer. “Tests have
established beyond doubt its super
iority over other dogs as a war mes
senger, particularly those used in the
German army. ,
“The Airedale is a cross from a bull
terrier, otter hound and a Berkeley
, terrier. It is a result of years of
j careful breeding and its name, it is
; said, is derived from the Aire Valley
of England, where it originated.”
The dogs now in training wrnre given
to the signal corps by patriotic citi
zens or purchased by interested army
officers. Scores of them with long
pedigrees and valued highly have been
given and others are coming in daily.
Females are in greater demand than
) males because of their intelligence.
Methods of training are a military
secret.
“When the dogs are taken at the
:yge of ten to eighteen months and
properly developed as one-man dogs
ffor the Airedale is distinctly a one
man dog) no beast can equal them as
war dogs,” said the officer. Their
color blends perfectly with night
shades. The ability of the dogs to slip
quietly through barb wire entangle
ments without a scratch is remarka
able.”
