The Worlds Largest Steamship

New York, June 25. Thousands of
persons thronged the Hoboken water
front today to watch the giant steam
ship, "Imperator, of the Hamburg
American line; the largest ship afoat.
and which requires FIVE captains to
guide her, get under way upon her
return trip to Europe.
Other thousands were at the pier to
see her when she arrived at New York
last week.
Never before has passenger carry.
ing vessel been given the reception
accorded the Imperator. The trip up
from Quarantine was made to the &C.
compartment of one continuous blast
of whistles from all craft in the
harbor as we'll as from factories on
shore.
Those who visited the Imperator
found that not only does the new
liner surpasss anything else afoat as
to size, but her equipment and fur
nishings rival that of the most pala-
tial hotels on land as we'll as sur
passing beyond comparison that on
all other liners.
FLOATING CITY 919 FEET LONG.
The floating city in miniature is
919 feet long, SO feet beam, and has
a gross tonnage of so, 900 tons. She
is commanded by five captains, Capt.
Hans Ruser, admiral of the Hamburg
American line being in supreme COM
mand. There are rooms in which can
be found anything to supply the
wants of the most fastidious traveller.
In the opinion of Alex. NJ. Carlisle,
designer of both the Imperator and the
Olympic, the three features which
enable her to surpass any ship afoat
are:
Tie magnificent Ritz. Carlton
restaurant, combined with a palm
garden.
The large Roman swimming bath,
duplicate of the one in the Royal
automobile club in London.
BALL ROOM Is FTET HIGH.
The great ball room with dancing
space of 100 by 60 feet. This room is
eighteen feet high without a single
stanchiou, the roof and dome being
carried by three external girders,
something never before seen in ship
designing.
Private dining rooms, glass enclos-
ed decks for the imperial suite, shops
of all kinds about the ship, the
various kinds of baths, and the sup
plying of each passenger with a bath
robe were among the features most
marvelled at by the sight. today.

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JULY 0. 1918.

Just al present the brotherhood of man is very busy cutting each others throats in different portions Of our little planet and the fun only seems to be commencing. In Europe Asia and America countries are war ring and tho, sands are dying and all for something which may do not one indiyidu a bit of good. During the war soldiers are suffering and after the war they must go to work but they are uH. no doubl, cart and soul bent on the work of scrappinG and keeping scrapping to the bitter end.
 Instead of believing all this to be wrong it should be regarded as min dication that the human race Is not yet entirely rotten The men who go out with rifes in their hands and with a cofYinless grave always in sight, Tar from teing types of barbarity, are really examples to prove that some- thing still remains to the human soul besides the thought of the belly and the desires of the flesh.
 The man who believes that he ought to go out to the field of battle for his country, right or wrong. the man who, after all, harbors the most un- selfish aspirations and who still re- tains the spirit winch has prevented a great part of the world from ador- ing the dollar as god.
 War exercises an effect for good which far more than counteracts any evil which follows In it's wake. It brings out all that is noble and tests men to the very limit of their physi- cal, mental and moral endurance. It prevents the world from becoming flat and stale and nothing but the breed- ing ground of selfshness and money making and luxury.
 What if some men do get killed. Who can say that death is punish ment or that 1t ks not actually re- lief? Death is simply q change to which we are not accustomed and the result Of which We do not know. and therefore we nervously shrink from 1t. We hear Q lot of talk from time to time about the loss of sons to their mothers and so on. but we should re- pnember that if the son were not killed he would live to grieve over the death of his mother and the suffering of one is as much la be depiored as the suffering of another. We never hear from the peace advocates any thing about the many sons who die naturally or who live to be a greater torture than they could ever be in death. Death has never been proven to be an evil and the chances are that for every man killed. anyway. in war a hundred men are all the better for the test through which war puts them.

cent q few who have some private 1n- terest to serve. To build railroad could possibly do no harm to anyone in the territory unless to parties who are already interested In railroads whose business might be injured by government owned road.
 President Dickeson. of the White Pass and Yukon Route openly ana objects to the construction or a government railroad and under the circumstances one would be foolish to blame him. He says that his own road will be ruined by a government road and the chances are that 1t will be hurt very much, and 10 hurt the White Pass any more could hardly mean less than the total destruction of the small margin of profit which the road now enjoys.
 There are . few small parties who have some axe to grind for some peo- ple who manage to keep under cover and their opposition to the construc- ton by the government is constantly being pressed. Senator Knute Nelson ha, surprised his friends in Alaska by opposing 1t very strenuously He was supposed to have been one of the ter ritorys best and most potent friends and his complete volte face Is matter which creates ast nishment.
 But with the opposition of all. sena- tors. railroads and private axe sharp euers 1t is to be hoped that the govern ment will not be turned from its pur- nose. There were men who opposed the purchase of tho territory as there are men who oppose the development of 1t but those who oppose real pro- sress are the pigmies trying to turn back the tide of the human ocean.

my fourteen-year-old daughter was
very thin and delicate. She had q
bad cough so that became very much
alarmed about her health. She was

very little appetite and doctors did
not help her. Having heard so much
about Vinol, decided to give 1t q

She can sleep all night now without
coughing once; in fact. her cough Is

All histories agree that the first

are now in the year of 1918 of the A.
d. period. Adding together the to-
tails of 1866 years, 1926, 430, 496 583,

available fact Of history and nature

figures.
Earths population now Ia 1900,

doubled every century, then five
centuries ago it was but $4,000 900.
Three centuries ago there were few

idea that man has been long on the
