RICHARDSON REPLIES
j| WICKER RGE
(Continued from page 3.)
I i expectation from year to year? al
- least for some years past?that Con
I gress would make provision for more
? general and progressive development
! of the road work and for transferrin;'
? Its cost to some other bill than the
one for support of the army; the DO:
; partment being roady to supervise
. the work if so directed by Congress,
but holding the view that the cost
of such work should not be a charge
against the bill for the support of the
army any more than rivers and har<
bora or other public work. These
War Department estimates have re
ceived the generous support of mem'
bers of Congress almost without ex
ception save in the caso of your Dele
gate. It would bo interesting to have
a statement from the Delegate as to
his activities for or against the en
actment of some provision for gener
al road work, so necessary if the work
is to have the continued aid of the
f'oaerai government, or wueiuw ne
has over recommended to the War
Department in writing that the small
estimato carried on the Army bill be
disapproved. Also, he might be ask
ed In what way he Is serving the In
i terests of the people he pretends to
represent by continued and wanton
attack?of which this latest bit of ly
ing vlclousness is a fair sample?up
on the members of the Road Commis
sion and the work in their chargo.
The Commission is competeut to di
rect the work placed in Its hands, and
has a well trained and efficient or
ganization, mostly composed of men
of long experience with conditions In
Alaska, but It will require vast labor
and tUne and a suitable fund which
may be depended upon from year to
year, to meet the needs for good
roads throughout the Territory. I
havo no apology to offer in this con
nection, and none is needed; on the
contrary, without claiming Infallibil
ity of judgment fri all casos, I do not
hesitate to challenge comparison of
the Commission's work and the re
sults obtained under the circumstanc
es. with that of any other agoncy
public or private In this Territory, or
any other place whatsover. This work
constitutes merely a part of the army
pioneer work in Alaska, all of which
has been systematlo and construc
tive In character, and free, as is al
ways the case with such work under
the War Department, from so-called
red tape. It has been accomplished
in the face of great natural difficul
ties. and Is of vital Importance to the
Territory.
This letter is not tor me purpose or
further replying to the Delegate's let
tor of Doc. 21. 1914. but to make cloar
certain conditions which have been
wilfully misrepresented: Reply of
June 23rd covers the ground, and it
may servo, also, by the way of ref
erence. as a sufficient reply to any
such senseless ebullitions of mendac
ity as he may see fit to indulge in
hereafter. Nor do I consider it nec
essary to send a copy of this to the
Delegate, as he has failed to honor
me by an acknowledgement of re
ceipt of the copy of my former let
ter. His natural procedure would be
to again take dishonest advantage of
some Committee hearing or "exten
sion" of remarks and then seek the
; support of a venal magazine with a
muckraking staff; or go whimpering,
as he has in the past, to tho War
Department 'or aid and comfort in an
unprovoked assault upon the charac
ter of an officer of that Department
performing his duty under provision
of law.

RICHARDSON ON
"WICK" STANDING
AT WASHINGTON
In view of the impression that it
has been sought to create in Alaska
that Delegate Wickersham has won
derful Influence at the National Capi
tal, the following from Col. W. P.
Richardson, president of the Alaska
Board of Road Commissioners, is a
matter of interest.
Col. Richardson was asked concern
ing the degree of respect and confi
dence in which the Delegate is aeld
at Washington. Col. Richardson re
plied:
"By reason of u voluminous disre
gard for the truth and for tho com
mon principles of decency, he has at
tracted some nttention in the public
I eye, but he commands about the same
degree of respect in the National cap
ital as a horse thief does in the State
of Texas."

ness Is beginning to look good in Se
attle. and that thihgs look as if a

Professor Borgerhoff of Western
Reserve University, formerly at Lou
vain. In answer to statements that
German occupation means the bet
terment of social and Industrial life,
writes that Gorman domination is un
usually severe, Belgians are not al
lowed free movement within the lim
its of their own districts and the
entire postal service (that relating to
other that Gorman orders) is entirely
disorganized. He says that in the
course of his travels through Belgium
no cattle, pigs or horses were seen;
Germany has seized in Antwerp alone
80,000,000 francs worth of goods; re
quisitions were not made for the use
of tho army, but wero shipped to
Germany for commercial ubos? that
among tho seizures were Ivory, type
writers and toys; stagnant commer
cial life of Antwerp Is evidenced by
the grass which In some places is
growing In the middle of the princi
pal streets to a height of six inches.
The cities of Belgium ure seml-desert
ii.- In Ghent alone 100,000 people
could comfortably be housed.
E. A. Powell in the New York
World says that the French war ma
chine is now better than the German
at its best, the drive in tho Cham
pagne showing more power than the
Germans put forth in Belgium during
their first advance. The battle of
Champagne he says, was the greatest
and bloodiest of all times, barring tho
Marne. About 1,500,000 French and
Germans took part. The German los
ses were terrlfft and hundreds were
driven insane by the shock of the
6,000,000 shells hurled from 3,000 big
guns along a 15-mile battle front. A
complete curtain of fire cut off the
retreat and hundreds were burled
alive by falling debris. 500 were kill
ed by the explosion of one mine. In
one steel turret Ihree Germans wore
found dead; escape had been made
impossible by the officers locking the
doors.
British Trades Union Delegates Be
vin and Ainmon, arrived in New York
Thursday to attend the annual con
vention of the American Federation
of Labor, say: "Our fight against
conscription is an economic one, hav
ing In view the possible conditions
after teh war. If conscription comes,
the government cannot add to the ar
my more than 300,OQO men without
crippling industrial conditions. Under
the present volunteer system we are
adding men to the field forces much
faster than they can be equipped."
Albert Ballin, director-general of
the Hamburg-American Steamship
Company, at the annual meeting of
the German ship owners held at Ham
burg said: "The object of Great Bri
tain and her Allies cannot now bo
attained. The Russians wll not en
ter Constantinople, nor will the tri
color flag wave from the cathedral at
Strassburg. Great Britain will un
derstand thai European peace can
only be assured by the Germans hav
ing equal rights on the ocean."
John Annan Bryce, member of the
British Parliament, says: "I firmly
believe the government will collapse.
There Is an entire lack of co-opera
tion. The trouble does not lie with the
people. England Is all right. The peo
ple will do anything they are asked
to do. The fault lies with those who
have abused the gifts the people have
placed in their hands."
A Globe Pnrls dispatch says that
rumors that Norman Prince. Boston
aviator, had been captured by Ger
mans are officially denied by French ?
foreign officials. Instead. Mr. Princ< '
recently brought down an enemy bat- r
tie plane single handed, and, io con- ,
sequence, lias been cited a second j
time in an order of the day and rec (
ommended for crolx dc guerre. t
"La Libcrte" of Paris says that the t
French military authorities have dis- {
covered an organization of physicians
and others for supplying fraudulent t
certificates of physical unfitness for t
active service or for showing such <
disabilities as shall permit the hold- (
ors to serve only in the auxiliary j
branches of the army. {
Sir John A. Simon, home secretary, t
replying to the question In the House
of Commons as to whether It could not
be possible to warn Londoners of Zop- (
pel In raids, asserted that nine times ?
out of 10 the Ccrman airships were
drlvon off before they even reached
the coast.
According to London reports re
ceived from American sources In
Dresden two United States consular
officials there recently wore request
ed by the headwalter to leave a prom
inent restaurant because they con
versed In English.
"Novoe Vremya" of Petrograd says
that the losses of Russian subjects
In the Territory occupied by German
troops will be made up at the ex
pense of the property of German sub
jects In other parts of Russia.
Shipments to England of shells
