LONDON, Feb. 26. — A warning
given by Bonar Law, chancetlor of the
exchequer, in his recent Glasgow
speech, that compulsion may be re
sorted to if the present voluntary me
thod falls to bring in sufficient sub
scriptions to the new war loan, has
attracted widespread attention.
The chancellor used such terms as
“the possibility of other ways of ob
taining the money," methods which
he said he "believed would be bad
for the country," but that If such steps
were necessary "account would be
taken of the contributions which had
already been made voluntarily.” What
was wanted, the chancellor added,
were anvil amounts from as many as
possible.
“Mere, at least," continued Mr. Law,
"we may take a lesson even from our
enemies. It has not been a custom
in this country — I hope to see it
changed — it has not been a custom
for government loans to be wide
spread among the people. The fourth
German loan had 4,700,000 subscrib
ers of under £100 ($500) each. I
want to see something of that kind
in this country. I want to see every
man have a spirit of emulation and
have a feeling that he has not played
his full part in the war unless he is
prepared to do something towards the
success of the loan.
“Do not run away with the idea that
our new loan is so great a success
that nothing more is necessary. The
result of the publicity given the loan
in the press is that there is an idea
that it is already a complete success.
I do not know whether it is a success
or to what extent it is a success.
“With this daily publication of big
subscriptions there is a danger of
people saying: 'When others are giv
ing millions and we see it every day in
the newspapers, what is the use of our
giving?' Do not be under that delu
sion. The sums we need I expect to
get not in millions but in hundreds
from the people of this country.”

ORIENTAL SERVANTS ARE
FLOCKING TO ENGLAND
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Feb. 24. — England Is
experiencing in a limited sense an in
vasion of Oriental servants. Chinese
and Japanese are landing here in
greater numbers than usual and are
taking the places of the native ser
vants who have joined the colors, gone
in for munition making or back to
the farms, where such good wages
are now being paid. The Orientals are
said to be proving popular because
they make themselves more generally
useful and seem never to tire of work.
-♦
Advices from Dime creek state that
pay has been found on that creek be
low (loose creek, where it had never
been located before. The new pay
is not rich, but is very wide, and gives
the camp an indefinite lease of life.

PARIS Z
FDR SPRING
(By Associated Press)
PARTS, Feb. 26. — A band of ter
rltory about 150 yards wide and eigh
teen miles long skirting the fortifica
tions of Paris and now uncultivated
will probably be planted to potatoes
next spring. The mayors of the twen
ty arrondi8sements, or wards, of
Paris have arranged to meet and set
tle the details.
This land still beiongB to the nation
but the city of Paris will eventually
come into possession of it when the
fortifications are demolished, In pur
suance of an arrangement with the
government. It will then be trans
formed into parks, boulevards, public
playgrounds and sites for public in
stitutions. In the meantime the cul
tivation of it will In no wise Interfere
with the plans for the future.
If the coming season is at all favor
able to the crop, France wll have a re
cord yield of potatoes. The movement
for the planting of all uncultivated
land to either potatoes or Jerusalem
artichokes has become general and
official. A government commission is
getting ready to furnish Beed and fer
tilizers to all who want to help swell
the crop.
Thomas C. Price, of Anchorage,
greeted his former townspeople here
yesterday morning, while en route to
Juneau to attend the session of the
legislature. The Honorable Tom was
given a big sendoff by the Moose lodge
at his home town, who held a smoker
and reception in his honor and forty
members of the order escorted him on
a hand sled to the depot at Anchorage,
where he was accorded another ova
tion. Our neighbors are proud of our
former townsman, who has promised
to work faithfully and consistently for
his constituents.
Senator O. P. Hubbard, of Valdez,
accompanied by his wife and daughter,
was aboard the Farragut yesterday for
Juneau to attend the session of the
territorial legislature.
CANNOT STARVE
ENGLAND OUT
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Feb. 26. — “The returns
of the port of London for the paHt
eight months will not encourage the i
hopes of the Germans of starving Ix>n- |
don or ruining its trade by the dep
redations of submarines," nays the lat- ,
est report of the port of London au
thority on conditions at the great Lon
don docks.
Tonnage entering and leaving the
port shows a substantial decrease as
compared with the preceding year, but
the (|uantity of goods actually unload
ed shows a decrease of only three per
cent, the tonnage being 1,829,000 this
year as compared with 1,85,000 last
year. Prohibitions on the import of
several classes of merchandise have
been in force during this period, and
have undoubtedly affected the figures
appreciably.
