WARM WEATHER O.V FIRST
DAy OF SPRING CAUSES
DELAY IN PUBLICATION
The weather was so warm yester
day, the first day of spring, that
tho service water pipe leading; to
the motor supplying the Alaskan's
big press with power, partially
froze, so that the water pressure
was not sufficient to run the Press.
Fivf> husky employes of the Alaskan
took their turn at turning the
press by hand. Although, the work
was strenuous, and there were cas
ualties among the f^e, the -Al
askan finally made its appearance,
but somewhat late.
A Lovely Life.

PATCHES A LUXURY IN
BELGIUM
A tetter received by the Belgian I
latormation Bureau says:
"One does not dream of buying J
linen. The prices are entirely un
approachable, More extraordinarily
s'lll, to mend or repair one's clothes
has Itself become a luxury permit
ted to a few .since a spool of thread
now costs 60 cents to $1."
The following is from a letter
written from Flanders:
"How do we live? You can not
form any idea of it. In what
ever direction we turn we run
against German pride which. Pro
vocative and scornful, eyes us
from head to foot. It is pain
ful. We can not endure it. There
are fines upon fines at a time when
money is so needed to buy indis
pensable things.
"For all that, what is indispens
able is still very difficult to ob
tain. We haye too much to die,
too little to live. We are be
coming skeletons, hut h°pe sus-j
tains us. For the rest, we let the |
days go by as God gives them to us.
"Now y/e have an opportunity to
prove how admirable one people
are. Our hearts break in contem
plating all the misery that we see
aoout us; but we are proud, never
theless, to prove that we can, en
dure it all without hesitatng or
wavering,
"Germany is becoming more and
more covetous. She plucks us and
strangles us inl every way."
