BOLSHEVIK RULE.
The Polish government is com
piling the story of the atrocities
committed under the Bolshevik
reign in the city of Minsk, now oc
cupied by the Poles. The latest,
brought by an American Red Cross
worker who has just returned to
Warsaw from a relief assignment in
that newly occupied city, concerns
the murder of a woman hospital as
sistant who was rash enough to ex
press the hope that conditions would
• improve when the town fell to the
Poles.
The director of the hospital in
question, smarting under an ill-de- j
served rebuke administered to him j
by a surly official of the-Red regime,
warned the latter that the arrival
of the Poles would bring a change
for the better. For this he was
deported to Smolensk. His woman
assistant, who ventured a little fur
ther in expressing her opinion, was
shot into a grave on the dawn be
fore the taking of the city by the ]
Polish army.
When visited by workers of the j
American Red Cross commission to
Poland, the hospitals and orphanages
of the city were found in such j
pressing need of food that many
of them had been obliged to close.
One home for war orphans had
been without so much as a crust of
bread for more than a week. Many
others had suffered similar priva
tions. According to reports on in
vestigations, only outside aid can
rescue these people from the chaos
of terror and suffering in which
they are submerged.
NAPOLEON GOT HIS.
Premier Clemenc-eau's repeated
statements to the* effect that he
would not accept the salary paid
to members of the French Academy
after he has taken his seat among
the “Immortals,” recalls the fact
that Napoleon never failed to collect
this same stipend, says an Associated
Press correspondent, writing from
Paris.
There has been found among the
Napoleonic records the emperor’s
personal daybook, in which were
minutiously inscribed all receipts
and disbursements. The 1806 vol
ume begins thus:
“Salary of his Imperial and Roy
al Majesty as Member of the In
stitute, 1200 francs."
Not one of the academicians, least
of all Clemenceau, who have occu
pied seats under the cupola across
the Bridge of Arts since the days
of Richelieu can boast of an item
similar to the second one in Na
poleon’s budget. It read:
“French civil list, Emperor Na
poleon, 25,000,000 francs.”
SHOES FOR GERMANS.
The German poorer classes are
soon to have shoos from the army
leather supply which will cost only
35 or 40 marks, instead of from
75 up into the hundreds. An or
ganization has already been formed
by the cabinet which, under the
strict control of the government,
will arrange for the production of
these cheap shoes from army leather
stocks. By the first of next May
the government hopes to put them
on sale, but is going to take spe
cial precautions that there can be
j no illicit trade, for the shoes will
probably have to be sold at a loss.
The question of what are the limits
j of “poorer people" will also have
\ to be settled.
AIRPLANE SPRUCE
BEING USED TO MAKE
NEWS PRINT PAPER
PRI.N'CE RUPERT, B. C—Spruce
logs which were intended, when
they were felled on the islands of
the Inside Passage, for use in war
time airplane construction, are mak
ing their way into British Columbia
pulp mills, and finally into news
print paper for Eastern American
publications.
j Recently thirteen carloads of news
print paper were shipped from the
Ocean Falls plant near here to New
York for the New York Times. 1
The paper was made from spruce
logs cut on Queen Charlotte island
for airplane purposes.
Large amounts of lumber left;
over from the airplane stocks have j
been sold to the Ocean Falls mills i
for the making of news print paper, j

ITALIANS GET AID
FROM SOLDIERS WHO
FOUGHT WITH YANKS
NAPLES.—Tens of thousands of
checks amounting to millions of .
dollars each month are being sent
to relatives here by the Italo-Am
ericans who served in the American j!
army. Therefore the money receiv- j
ed from American soldiers’ allot- j
ments, war risk insurance benefits, |
and United States Government com-!,
pensatjon constitutes one of the i
chief sources of income for South- j
em Italy at the present time. Of j i
the thousands of Italo-Americans!
in the American army, the great
majority were from Southern Italy, ,
which has furnished the bulk of
Italian emigrants to the United
States. j
At the present rate of exchange
of almost ten lire to the dollar,
these checks yield a profitable rev
enue to Italy. It is a widely known
fact that thousands of families in
Southern Italy today are being
largely supported by such contribu <
tions from the treasury of the Unit
ed States.
JUNEAU GRAND JURY
WOULD BAR ALIENS
FROM FISHERIES '
JUNEAU.—Recommendations that
aliens be harried from fishing in
Alaska waters were made by the
grand jury here recently.
“To better conserve the fisheries
of Alaska we are convinced, after
an investigation of the subject, that
there should be an abatement of
the extensive fishing now' carried
on by aliens,” the report of the
grand jury said. “To this end we
recommend, as a corrective mea
sure, the enactment of a law re
quiring full citizenship of those en
gaged in the commercial taking of
fish in Alaska waters.” <
CO-OPERATIVE PURCHASES
REDUCE COST OF LIVING
PARIS.—To combat the high cost
of living, the inhabitants of the
Western suburbs of Paris have hit
upon a plan of co-operative buying
of food. First results showed a
saving of over 30 percent.
Nat Lyons, a former Dawson
prospector and newspaper advertis
ing man, who made a stake in the
Iditarod and then went to England
and married an English lady of
title, yearns for Alaska. He says
that the North beats “civilization”
all to pieces, and that he may re
turn.
A till, has been introduced into
the Canadian parliament to amal
gamate the Royal Northwest Mount
ed Police and to change the name
