OMieiat Paper
NOME, ALASKA, MAY 1s, 1914.

Now that the school election Is so Lear at hand it may not be amiss to bring to the attention of the public matter which has been urged for several years by some of the patrons of the school and tax payers of the c.;y.
 It has been urged that if the long s"i ool vacation was given fin he months of December and January in- stead of as now curing the summer. , Etonths then would be lessening in the cost of run:.'pg the school with out imrairing the efficiency of the woIk This ya1r when the expense of running the school is going to bear heavily upon the city. any means by which the expenses can be reduced Fhd still maintain it's present high eflcience should receive consideration. Fairbanks. 1t is said, has adopted this plan and after two years are more than satisfied with the change. Form fly the Fairbanks school had its long vacation during the summer months tine same as We have always had in Nome. The advantages of the change has been a reduction of the expenses of the Fairbanks school somewhere between one and two thousand dol- lars per year in the matter of cost for fuel and lighting. The children were not compelled to go to and return from school in the dark during the coldest months of the season and al the time of the severest blizzards.
 Another reason why this change should be made. and which has been urged by many of the patrons of the sch'ol from time to time. is that the students would not be compelled to study by artificial light during the winter months as now. This Is a matter of first importante and has not received as u:h attention as it's inn portance demands Aside from ths
 
 banks is satisfied with the plan of giving long winter vocation believing that tEe change has Iren a benefit t, the school in mrG ways and that tLe system Is firmly es,af lished and ti.ere :s no thought of ever returning to the old system of long summer vacations.
 This plan if adopted here would of course. necessitate commencing school .nrlier in the fall and dismissing later in the spring and deprive some of tie students of an opportunity of working during the mining season. While this is true the argument has not now the same force as few years ago when even small boys could earn considera- bie money during the summer months.

 Of course the American people will not take these dire predictions too seriously, though it is not more than natural for them to show both im- patience and irritation over the mat ter.
 The canal Is fact. It will be used. and it will change the glea trade routes of the world. too-Seattle Sun.

The experts of the office of Naval Intelligence who struck the Oregon. the Massachusetts and the Indiana from the official list of United States battleships in the Navy Year Book be cause they are obsolete" might con- slider with advantage the remarks of Admiral A. T. Mahan in an article on Ancient Fallacies Upon Naval Sub jccts," printed in Harpers Magazine. June, 1898.
 Admiral Mahan vigorously disputed the notion that battlcships soon be- come obsolete, and called 1t lone of those half-truths which. as Tennyson has 1t are ever the worst of lies"
 There is, of course" he added, "a line on one side of which the term obsolete applies. but 1t may be said that no ship Is obsolete for which fighting work can be found. with Il tolerable chance-a fighting chance of her being successful; because. though unequal to this or that posi- tion of exposure. she. by occupying an inferior one releases a better ship"
 It may be that Admiral Mahan Is no longer an expert. or is an expert only when he agrees with the experts ot the ofIice of Naval Intelligence New York World.

and besides 1t Is not demonstrated that young boys are benefited by becoming n'Oney makers before they have re- ceived their elementary training in school.
 The plan if adopted might work a hardship on teachers who would be cc mpelled to spend their winter vaca- tions in Nome and cut short their summer vacations, especially if they wished to go to the outside to spend tte summer months but this, however, need not necessarily cut much figure at least not more so than in Fairbanks where the system has been tried and found perfectly satisfactory.

By this time the American people have become so accustomed to gloomy predictions in foreign quarters con. corning the Panama canal and its probable lack of serviceableness that they will not be much alarmed by tho announcement of ID W. Ewald, I noted German engineer. that the wa. terway will not accommodate tn, larger vessels of the sea, and that i will accommodate the smaller vessel! only for 6 part of the year
 Of course Ewald's main reason fol predicting the failure of the canal was to combat the nation that tn, isthmian waterway would completel, change international trade routes a bit of sop thrown out for the benefi os some of his uneasy countrymen wht must find a market outside of Ger many for what they produce.
 From the beginning of the cana enterprise we have been told that | would be a dismal failure.
 Tn the first place it was asserted that we could not build 1t at all: in deed. a number of experts of note went so far as to say it was physical. ly impossible.
 But Goethals built the canal jus the same.

HuERrA GETS AMMUNITION.
German Vessels Unload War Supplies
at Puerta Mexico.

washington, May 2s.-Ar1munition
consigned to the Huerta government in
Mexico which had been kept in the
hold Of the German steamship Ypir-
Anga since the American occupation or
We're Cruz began was landed yesterday
at Puerto Mexico. Consul Canada at
Vera Cruz cabled this information to
the state department.
1t was reported from other sources
t., the war department that arms con-
signed to Huerta had oean landed at
Puerto Mexico from the German
steamer Bavaria.
No effort to prevent the delivery Of
the ammunition consignments was
made By officials Of the United States.
Puerto Mexico being an open port and
tn. United States having agreed to a
suspension of hostilities during medi-
alton.
1t was made plain at the state de-
pertinent that the only way for the
United States to have prevented the
Shipment Of arms thru Puerto Mexico
wcuids havt been to seize the custom
house there as was done a: Vera Cruz
when the Ypiranga was about to land
rs cargo at that port This would
have been violation Of the suspen-
son OF hostilttteS and would have dis
rupted mediation.
The delivery Of these cargoes
aroused speculation in view Of the fact
thai arms on board the Hamburg
American ship kronprinzessin Cecile
consigned to Huerta thru Puerto Mex
leo several weeks ago were turned
back on orders of officials Of the
steamship company.
AT that time the Bavaria was en-
route with cargo and the announce
nent was made from the same source

Why different disposition Of the
cargoes was made, government Off
cials did not appear to understand. It
was suggested, however, that the arms
