SEVERE ATTACKS
MADE OX KAISER
I.oudon,—Some of the pamphlets
which were secretly circulated in
Berlin during the recent strike
consisted of savage attacks ott the
German emperor, a fact which was
*dm ted and deprecated recently
by ihe German press. One of these
pamphlets, smuggled out of Ger
mane, reached the Liverpool Daily
Post, which in part is as follows:
"When will peace coine? It will
come when Germany is ready for it.
and the time is approaching.
' It will come when Germany has
learned the elsson of the war; when
it has found, as every other na
tion has had to learn, that the'
voice of Europe cannot be denied
with impugnity.
"War—What For?"
"The hour of peace will strike
when Germans no longer heed the
makers of war; when they despise
and hiss the apostles of militarism
aud jingoism. Peace will come
wl>fn the Germans say to their em
peror: 'You, whom we have fol
lowed and obeyed; you, for whom
we have sacrificed ourselves and
our dear ones; you, who have not
spared our ideals and beliefs and tra
ditions, we have sacrificed all to you
—and what have we in return? Ko
thi*g but hunger and cold and nak
edness .disease &nd death, ruin and
destitution.'
"All over the world we are de
solsed and hated. On our forehead
rests the curse of Cain. Men shun
us si the streets and our language
is forbidden. We have you, Em
peror William, we have you to than is
for the achievements of a century
of national effort that have been
lost;"

Far-famed Alaska coal will/ un
deri;o the severest commercial tests
In Tacoma within a few days, says
the Taeon:a News. A shipment of
cok'i from the Alaska coal has beer
revived and will be tried out in
the Pugct Sound Irou & Steel work:
olant as to its practicability ' foi
foundry uses.
1 he coke is from coal shipped
from the Chickaioon district in the
Matanuska fields 011 the governmenl
ra. road in Alaska to the Wilkeson
Coal & Coke company for coking ii
the company's big ovens at Wilke
son. This is said to be the first
attempt to coke the coal on a scale
st.fiicient to test its value for this
Durnose. The coking h^s been done
by Supt. Joseph LAje of the Wllkesoi
Coal & Coke company, and those
who have seen the coke and who
cai. pass as judges, say it is a very
gro'1 grade of coke and they are ex
pecting satin factory results from the
tests which are soon to be made is
Tacoma.
The Alaska coal fields were ex
amined by the United States gov
ernment in 1913. The first steam
ing tests were made on tha battle
ship Maryland and the coal proved
to oe 9S per cent as efficient as
the Pocohontas coal of West Vir
