Mayor GIL harps upon what he

The other theory. the mayor
points out. Is to make the public
utility a commercial investment for

profitable. to withhold 1t where no
profits will result.

RESTORED CREDIT; NOT
 LIQUIDATION NEEDED

No such problems as the present one has ever been faced by the busi- ness world. But it is of the nature of problems that they largely lose their terrors when they are bravely faced.
 The task before us is not to iqui. date the world, but to restore the worlds credit Business never has been liquidated =. except perhaps in the time of Noah's hood-and never will be. without a return to barbarism and barter.
 Why should we regard well.regulat- ed gold shipments with such terror? Before we get normal condition, we must help to restore the credit of our foreign neighbors, if only to make our own good. If they need gold, and we can dispense with 1t under proper safeguards, this Is a necessary step.
 Everybody must make concessions. And not to do so is to circumscribe the area of credit, to extend the area of war, and to stimulate liquidation where extension of credit is the im- peratiye need,-wan Street Journal.

TURKEYS POSITION

 Turkeys attitude in the present con. hlct of the great European Powers is still doubtful, although there seems to be an uneasy feeling in Britain that 1t will eventually align itself with Au. stria.Hungary and Germany.
 Turkey has had a long feud with Russia. It feels natural antipathy to Servia, which recently aided in driy. ing it from it's European domains, and it bitterly resents Greek activity in the same conflict.

URGES UNION OF
 TWO SERVICES

SEATTLE, Aug, 22.-That the Unit ed states lifesaviag service and the United States revenue cutter service should be combined because of the similarity of the duties of both in res cue work, Is the opinion of Capt, G w. McAfee, commander of the Neah
 Bay lifesaving station. known as one of the largest if not the largest of its
 kind in America. Capt. McAfee OK plained that union of the two ser vices is even now being considered in Congress. and because the two could work together with far more satis' factory results than with each under separate Jurisdiction. he believes that the merger will meet with the favor of its lawmakers.
 "one of the chief duties of the reye' nue cutters" explained Captain Me Afee. 'as to aid boats in distress aud by far the greater part of their an nual activities is taken up with this rescue work. The crews are trained in manning and operating the non sinkable lifeboat in tie same banner as is the crew of a ltIesaving station. On many occasions IT. conducting res cue work have found that the reve' nue cutter and lifesaSing crews could work in perfect harmony in carrying on the work and produce fer better re- suits than if both worked independ- ently.
 There is no question but that the lifesaying crew Is the more efficient in rescue work, as it's entire attention Is devoted to this bra&ich of the sery' ice, willie the revnre cutter crew must become efficient in other lines as well. The revenue cutter. on the other hand. furnishes bettor accommoda- tions for resuscitating those rescued from the sea and mere comfortable quarters for carrying Tor the persons saved by the lifesaving crew. In con junction, then. the ser9ice of the two would be far more efficient than un. der the present separate course of ac' tivities, and the numbeT of lives saved would be greatly increased. On many occasions the rescued victims die of exposure before they can be brought to the lifesaving statiol by the small boat, which must be quilt light and buoyant in order that It may be ma. in heavy sea, and the num- Der of such deaths would be greatly lessened under the corlbined service.
 While the lifeboat vas riding the heavy seas close to the rocks and col lecting the passengers from of the craft. the revenue cutter could lie of at a distance with her boat just be- yond the heavy sea. Passengers could then be taken from the wrecked ship to the revenue cutters lifeboat by the llfesaving boat, which could again re- turn to the scene of the disaster and proceed with it's rescue work.-seattle Times.

STRIKING LESSON IN
 olsINTEREsTEo PATRIOTISM

Just now men, born in foreign lands, are quitting good jobs in Alaska that they may travel to the other side of the globe to cast their lives into the deadly maelstrom in defense of their native country. And we sometimes call these men ignorant foreigners, when without a doubt they have at tained a degree of personal patriotism seldom equalled in this land of the free and home of the brave. They go to offer their lives on the altar of the home land What a deep lesson there is in their brave sacrifice. To the American citizen who holds himself in high esteem as a citizen of great and glorious republic, comes the ques- tion: What disinterested act have you ever performed for the benefit of your town, your state or the nation? We brag sometimes Douglas Island News.
