SIDELIGHTS ON THE WAR An Overs, ■ s News Ageney dispatch says that the Socialist members of the Reichstag and their party board hove passed separate resolnntions iti which annexations by either side to present conflict are deplored and roe oinmentds the following stipulations: ‘‘For the protection of her econo mic development Germany demands the open door idea, equal rights for all in all colonies, a most favored, nation clause in peace articles, the abolishment of customs and trafie restrictions so far as possible, equali zation and improvement of social in stitn'ions for the welfare of the work ing populations in all countries, a guarantee of the freedom o'" the oe- ! cans international treaties and tlx I intern iti-'ralizing of all important sea highways. Efforts directed toward the destruction and dismemberment of Austria and Turkov a declared to be gainst Germany’s interests aim -re unacceptable.” Frederick E. Goudert,. the New York lawyer, who has been confo. rin, for «■ ne time with public a,or, in Great Britain and France, said re •utlv in Paris: "I :<in somewhat surprised t,, learn what tremendous importance English a ml French officials attach to th severance of diplomatie relations ’ t .veen the T'nit. d Btntes and Ger m ’ They d.o not expect the former t'i make war, but they are convince.I that the rupture of diplomatie rela tions would lead first to Germany’s I moral isolation, with vast effect the remaining small neutrals, and se. w ’ to an increase of the economic vrw-nre on Germany, because the eon ■e ::enw.s ,,f the rupture would be -■. -pension of the commercial relation? and a cutting off of German cre-E* Tlirv are, therefore convinced thar sc h -x-tion by America would ulti mately prove Wx- decisive factor ot [ the war. ’ ’ * * * A London special quotes Editor llir-’ of a London financial paper as saying that the Amsterdam Teiegraaf st./tv de? fil ing the German chancel dor's statement on the necessity of Germany making peace proposals to avoid financial ruin may have been inspired to sound sentiment in Eng '* We Manufacture and Keep in Stock all kinds of % I I + Spruce and Cedar Lumber fi • j I t Can fill any order either stock ^ + or cut to specifications ... i fi I Steamer Vigilant and Barge Blanche || for charter for freight purposes l Ketchikan Power Company ■ " - “ ] |gg| SAVE TIME AND j 1J MONEY Use the New Sh^rt Rnte to and from Eastern Canada EASTERN and SOUTHERN UNITED STATES POINTS via PRINCE RUPERT GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAILWAY & STEAMSHIPS Lowest farea.

He says even if 'lie war were stopped now Germany would have to find about #250,000.000 for interest on the new war loan alone besides a large annual payment for disabled soldiers, widows, and or phans. K. V. Von Wioglaud says in the New York World that there will be no conference of European neutrals in the near future to end the war. Ef forts to get Norway, Sweden, Den mark, Holland and Switzerland each to send two official representatives to Stockholm ov The Hague have ap parently failed on account of the re fusal of anyone to take the initiative. Religerents have given assurance that such a meeting would not be considered unfriendly. The feeling was divided on admittiuf the United States. America s Ambassador nt Constan- i tinople. besides taking charge of the | Italian affairs in Turkey, has nssnm- j ed the responsibility for the Russian I affairs. He already liad charge of the English interests there. -» BRITISH CREDIT IS ABSORBING NEW YORK i Boston,—Men of affairs arc wait j ing for Great Britain to ad just the j sterling exchange situation. Bankers { are anxious to know whether the en- 1 voys. now on their way here, are authorized to act, or whether any proposition agreed upon lias to he passed on again in London therel y consuming more time. At present, the sterling exchang market is in a choatie condition. But it is felt that any favorable develop ments would advance sterling rates j rauionlly. rhe effect of an adjust ment of sterling credit would be brnc ticial both to the Allies and to our selves. If would mean a lower cost to foreign purchasers of our products. J‘ would mean an increase of war or j •h is to ourselves. Onr situation with Gerranv cer j I '‘inly looks more encouraging: so en c-. ur-ging in fact as to bp nlinos' suspicious. Ambassador llernstorf f . assn-,ei the state Department that that | Germany has accepted the position of j :' e f ;-i:• States on submarine war- j f'.io. pod tlmt hereafter no merchant vessels will be attacked by Genua 1 ! “'.bir1 trines without first being warn I i d, d and searched and oppor j trinity afforded for their passengers | and crew to escape. Fundamental conditions in t! : country are all favorable to a marked "I '-'if :n 1 usiness. The position oi crops and money is ideal. Sentiment ia naturally influenced by condition abroad, and this means more or- less -onservatism, especially in those lines not directly associated with the war. Tlie security market is not appar • !|tly so weak as it sometimes looks. L: ability to come back shows this. —Boston News Bureau. -- THREE YUKON BOYS ENLIST FOR KING According to a statement printed in ' M ntre.-il Standard recently, three of the sons of the late Wiilian Ogil .f .
