RUSTLINGFBRRUSSIAN TRADE
AMSTERDAM, May 20—The Kiel correspondent of tlie
Klonische Zeitung reports that steps are being taken in all
the Scandinavian countries for capturing the huge Russian
trade which hitherto has been regarded as completely in Ger
man hands. Industrial and' commercial men in Norway,
Sweden and Denmark are endeavoring to learn the Russian
language, while in Norway funds have been appropriated by
the stock exchange authorities for a more extensive course of
instruction in Russian in the Commercial High schools.

BT NEW GOVERNMENT CABLE
A PER I )EEN, Scotland, May 20—ft has become known that
a district cable lias been laid between England and Russia
for governmental purposes. Starting at Peterhead, a seaport
on the most easterly side ot Aberdeeneshire, in Scotland, it runs
across the North sea, along the coast of Norway, around the
North Cape, and ii >' Alexandrovsk in the White sea. The
cable is said to be longer than the Atlantic cable between
England and America, and it is said to have been completely

IN EIBEBJE SUPPLIES RE WINES
PETROGRAD, May 20—Strict prohibition of wines, which
followed' the abolition of vodka in Petrograd, has begun to be
relaxed to some extent. For a time it was impossible for din
ers in hotels and restaurants to secure wine at any price. To
day, on tin* contrary, it is quite easy to have such bererages
served more or less openly, in pitchers lamely disguised as
“kvas,” a common Russian temperance drink. Household
ers easily procure supplies for home consumption by applying
to the police captain of the district wherein they live.

GODMOTHERS FOR SOLDIERS
LONDON, May 20—Tin* League of Fairy Godmothers is
the latest organization to befriend the British soldiers. The
members are young women of all classes of society, each of
whom undertakes to forward to some lonely soldier a weekly
paper, and at least once a month to supplement this by a long
chatty letter and a gift of some kind.
Dp to the present time more than three thousand men have
thus been provided with godmothers.
ENGLAND TO Cl HITS
STEMJSFOBN PORTS
LONDON, May 20—It is probable that a large number of
British steamers in foreign ports will be taken over by the gov
ernment owing to the scarcity of suitable steamers in this
country.
It is stated by Admiralty officials that British vessels are
avoiding the United Kingdom owing to the possibility of their
being taken over for government purposes, and such ships will
now be commandeered wherever they may be, as necessity
arises. The ship owners, at present rates, can make about
three times as much profit on the open market as through a
lease to the government.
The British navy is stoill actively engaged at Oibralter in
stopping steamers bound for ports in the Mediterranean and
vessels meet with considerable delays.
SUICIDE LOOKS LIKE
A MISERABLE JOKE
A man's coat was found on the wharf
near the city this morning and on the
ragged thing was pinned a note which
read as follows:
"After having looked for work
from Seward to Ship Creek and back j
aguin, and nothing to eat for several '
days, I think it only a pleasure to end
It all in Resurrection bay." A name
and address was signed to the note.1
but as the coat and note have ail the
earmarks of a stupid attempt at a
joke, it is better not to give the name.
The city marshal went to view the
coat. The old thing was tattered and
the pockets so empty that It is clear
the "suicide” was mighty anxious to
carry everything with him to his
watery grave. If It is a Joke the
joker might get something to eat
from the Jailer.—Seward Gateway.
