GERMANSMUST
BE EXPELLED
FROMBELGM
BRUSSELS, Feb. 26 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—De
spite the passing of a law providing
for the expulsion of enemy subjects
from Belgium, numerous German civ
ilians are often seen walking the
streets of this city and other large
cities in Belgium at the present time.
While the law went into effect more
than a month ago, the Belgian govern
ment is experiencing as much diffi
culty in getting the enemy civilians
out of the country as the allied sol
diers had in expelling the enemy
army from the trenches.
The minister of justice has found
the undertaking a greater one than he
had expected. In the Belgium cham
ber yesterday Deputy Lemonnier, who
acted at burgomaster of Brussels dur
ing the enforced absence of Burgo
master Max in Prussian jail and until
he was removed himself to Germany,
asked Minister of Justice Vandervelde
what measures he intended taking to
expedite the undesirables beyond the
Rhine. Deputy Lemonnier brought the
minister’s attention to the fact that
several Germans were walking the
streets of Brussels with impunity and
that some of them had been recog
nized as being paid agents of the
Kommandantur during the occupation.
Viuiuui vciuc lcpucu. inc in***
ister of justice is doing its utmost to
rid the country of German civilians,
but the difficulties encountered are
formidable. In times of peace unde
sirables are escorted to their frontier,
tout since the signing of the armistice
the allied general staff refused abso
lutely to allow Germans to pass
through the zone of occupation. Hol
land permits them to go through the
country but not singly. Groups only
are allowed in transit. At the present
lime one train of undesirables is leav
ing daily. Beginning February 23rd
two trains leave for Holland daily
carrying an average of twelve hun
dred Germans every day from Bel
gium.”
An idea of the number of Germans
in Belgium before the war and the
still greater number who have elected
to make it during the occupation What
they thought would be ihe(V pertnan
; ent living pla.ee, may be gathered
from the fact that trains are expected
to leave for weeks and perhaps for
. months.
The case of German subjects who
have resided in Belgium for long
years have married Belgium women
and whose sons have fought against
the Germans is particularly sad.
Under the terms of the law they
should be expelled along with the
others, as they have remained enemy
subjects. . Vandervelde said, how
everr: “It is impossible for me. to
send that class of Germans out of the
country.”

AMERICA WILL
GET TRADE IN
SO.AMERICA
LONDON, Feb. 26 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press).—Jorge A.
Mitre, editor of La Nacion, of Buenos
Aires, gave Great Britain some ad
vice concerning the extension of its
trade in South America while speak
ing at a dinner of journalists and pub
lic men the other day.
“It may be a matter of some con
cern to you," said Mr. Mitre, "that
Great Britain, with the control of
roads, railways and waterways in Ar
gentina, has an inferior position to
other countries in the market. Take,
for instance, the case of agricultural
machinery. In that line the United
States are ahead of you because the
American has made himself familiar
with the needs and the fancies of the
farmers.
“The South American people during
the next few years will have money
to spend. There is world-wide de
mand for food, ours is a food exporting
country, and prices are likely to be
favorable to the-producer. We shall
want to buy not only locomotives,
ploughs and other machinery, but
motor cars, cutlery, plate, furniture,
jewelry and finished leather goods.
Who is going to supply us with these
tilings?
“One of the best instruments you
can use in shaping your South Ameri
can policy during the remaking of the
world is the British communities al
ready established in the South Ameri
can countries. In addition you must
send out your travelers properly
equipped. They must speak our lan
guage. All the efforts of British
manufacturers to meet the require
ments of South Amierican markets
will fail to be fruitful so long as your
commercial travelers are ignorant of
Spanish.
“Then there is the fresh flow of
capital to South America. I under
stand that for some time there will be
a restriction on the export of British
capital to foreign countries, in order
that the rate of exchange may be im
proved. It is the exchange of goods
ti.at makes prosperity and not bal
ances.”
_A__
CONFIDENCE IN RED CIRCLE
Jacob Stein, executive committee
man of the Fayetteville, N. C„ war
camp community service, recently
spent a short time in Washington, D.
C. While he was at the Union station
a soldier asked him to look after his
two hand bags.
The soldier then disappeared and
was gone for half an hour. Mr. Stein
wondered that such trust should have
been put in him. So when the soldier
returned he asked:
“Wl)y did you take chances of leav
ing your bags this way to a complete
stranger?” The soldier answered,
pointing to the Red Cross button on
Mr. Stein’s coat: “I knew they would
be safe with you wearing that pin.”

ALASKA PULP
MILLS OFFER
OPPORTUNITY
The Sea^le Railway and Marine
News is publishing a series of articles
setting forth "New Trade Opportuni
ties of the Pacific.” The article In
the series appearing in the current
number of the magazine is devoted to
the chances for the paper and pulp
business. Concerning Alaska’s offer
ing to the opportunities for the devel
opment of this industry on the Pacific
coast it says:
"In this connection we can visualize
that vast, coast line of Alaska, all the
way from Dixon’s entrance to Cook
inlet, two-thirds of the distance being
an inside passage, both shores being
covered right to the water’s edfee with
a class of Sitka spruce which is al
most wholly worthless as marketable
timber, but all of which is good for
the manufacture of wood pulp, as it is
the same identical timber from which
the British Columbia pulp Is ground.
That it has never been utilized is due
to the almost criminal negligence of
those responsible for handling the af
fairs of the United States forestry bu
reau, dating from the time when Gif
ford Pinchot succeeded in his bane
ful work of placing a valuation on
Alaska’s growing timber based upon
its worth as marketable lumber, when
every person possessing a knowledge
of the country knows that it has no
commercial value except as wood pulp.
Yet with that vast tonnage of United
States wood pulp available, and whose
many well protected harbors and in
lets and unlimited water power offer
ing the grandest opportunity for the
successful development of pulp and
paper mills, we are still importing mil
lions of dollars’ worth of wood pulp.
Even the leading daily paper of Ju
neau, Alaska, printed in a locality sur
rounded by thousands of acres of tim
ber available for pulp, gets its supply
of print paper from across the line in
Canada.”

BIG WOLF PELT IS
EXHIBITED AT CIRCLE
The pelt of a gigantic wolf that
was recently killed in the Circle Coun
try is said to measure eleven feet from
tip to tip.
According to the report the big wolf
was killed by a trapper named Michael
de Michel. He was out on his trap
line about ten miles from his cabin
with two dogs and a sled. He saw a
pack of wolves some distance away
from him but paid no particular atten
tion then. A little later he noticed
that they had approached closer to
him and were making an efTort to sur
round him and his team. Unhitching
his dogs in the screen of a bunch of
brush, he sent them on home and him
self climbed a tree. Within a short
time the wolves had the tree sur
rounded, which was to the trapper’s
game. He succeeded in killing three
out of the pack, the big fellow among
them. But a couple more remained,
and one of them was wounded. Get
ting down from the tree, he skinned
his “catch” and went on home.
