uERLIX.—The Prussian minister
of education has decided that W il
!iam Liebknecht committed a •’men
tal but not moral trangression" of
the law when he aided the Spar
tacan forces in defending the \ or
waert- building after their office was
captured by the revolutionists.
Young Liebknecht is a son of Karl
Liebknecht, the Spartacan leader,
who was killed in a conflict with
government forces. Parents of
other youths had objected to per
mitting the Liebknecht boy to re
turn to school, owing to his share
in the Spartacan outbreaks. The
minister of education asked these
parents to withdraw their objections
on the ground that the boy worship
ped his father and had been for a
long time subject to Spartacan in
fluences.

PICKS VALDEZ
10 SET COLOR
A rumor is current about town,
says the Valdez Miner, that one of
the large motion picture concerns
will come North for the purpose of
securing views of Alaska, and that
Valdez had been selected as the
favorite site. A large force of
actors, mechanics, brunettes and
peroxide blondes is said to be a
part of the en tourage. It has al
ways been a source *of mystery to
Alaskans why some company stag
ing pictures of the Northland did
not wise up to the f"ct that the
best place to secure those pictures
is where they grow. The crude
productions emanating from Cali
fornia studios and labeled “Made
in Alaska’’ would not deceive a
Bryan Democrat. They are so raw
they hurt like a frostbite. The
picture of a fair damsel slinging
to a madrona or eucalyptus tree,
while she sobs her heart out in
a blinding snowstorm, may look
good to a Californian or a citizen
of Natchez, but it fails to get an
encore from an Alaskan audience.
The hero who grabs the maiden
and three or four gunnysacks full
of nuggets and escapes the villian
sliding over the landscape around
Truckee on a pair of Montgomery
Ward snowshoes gives a taste in the
mouth like Seattle cider. The
brawny miner, dying in the arms
of his partner, pointing to a wash
tub of nuggets which he has left
to the orphans “back home" will
not bring a tear to the eyes of the
snowblind oldtimer. Most of us
came up here to get away from the
orphans and our home in the States,
any way. How can a man feel that
he has been compensated for the
price of admission (including the
war tax) when California environ
ment and Alaska temperament arc
promiscuously' pied in the making
Valdez offers a home to the com
pany desiring to be first in pro
ducing genuine thrillers. The hero
ine can get into the stuff poets
i rave about up to her neck, if she
: desires. The hero can slide dowr
1 a mountainside on an avalanche

RUSSIA CHANGE
VLADIVOSTOCK.—The funda
mental principle of the Bolsheviki
that the soviets as organs of revo
lutionary dictatorship must be the
strict expression of class govern
ment is undergoing marked changes
according to a number of th? Mos
cow All-Russian Central Cooperative
association. He summarized the
situation when he left Moscow a;
follows:
Russians of the intelligent class
were being induced to work in the
soviets and in other organizations
for« a restoration of the norma'
course of life. The anarchist terroi
which had prevailed since Octobei
had been stopped and arbitraro
executions, in some cases, had giver
1 way to preliminary legal investiga
tions and trials.
The intelligentzia and some o
the officers, under the influence o
hunger and want, had relinquisher
the tactics of sabotage. Others wh(
were inclined to do likewise wer.
vacillating on account of doubt
as to the durability of the soviet
and because they feared the eon
: sequences under a new regime.
The economic policy was esser.
tially the same as before. Nation
ialization of ammunition factorie
and of financial institutions wa
continued. Former administrator
of factories participated in the man
agement as members of factor
committees. Small enterprises ha
! been left in the hands of thei
owners who worked in contact wit'
factory committees of their dis
tricts. Many factories and mill
i were closed. Life was sustained b;
1 drawing upon wealth previousl
! accumulated.
It was then reported that th
soviet army would be increased t
! three million men by spring. I
] was being transformed into a di:
; ciplined army. Army committee
1 had been abolished and forme
officers were being attracted t
service. The system of election o
! officers was being supplanted by
i pointments by chiefs who had fu
i charge of directing operation;

$ DOG KENNELS NENANA, ALASKA £
Commissars represented the soviet
political authority.
Public education was superin
tended by a commissariat and by
a special body composed of repre
sentatives of educational sections
of labor organizations. Many new
schools were being opened. Science
and art were being adapted to the
understanding of the masses. A
great deal of ardor and tempera
ment were shown, but very little
system. The Moscow university,
which formerly attracted hundreds
or workingmen, was attended only
by dozens.
The attitude towari. cooperative
• organizations has changed. Owing
■ to the results of disastrous experi
ments which have destroyed private
, commercial enterprise and failed to
. replace it with something else, the
■ Bolsheviki have begun to regard
; the stability of the cooperatives
. with good will. Special decrees
have been issued protecting them
from soviet interference. They
are receiving big orders for the
: supply of various districts with
: articles of necessity. The turn
. over of capital of the Central Co
operative Association for the year
. exceeded one billion rubles. The
I t oviet government has proposed to
."the association to undertake to
, supply the whole country. The
workers’ cooperatives asserted their
5 'right to direct the activities of the
. association and succeeded in elect
og one-third of the directors.
The National Bank, the financial
•enter of the cooperatives, has been
tationalized. but measures have
>een taken to "render realization of
:he reform less painful.” All em
ployes have been retained and the
iirection is entrusted to a confer
ence of cooperatives corresponding
roughly to a meeting of stockhold
ers. Under such organization nor
mal banking operations may easily
be restored.
The relator concludes with a
summary of the general situation
which he describes as "catastrophic."
Transportation facilities, he said,
are going from bad to worse. Food
stuffs are scarce. Articles in store
are being consumed and are not be
ing replaced. Starvatino and epi
demics are exterminating entire
villages.
