Entry.

Regardless Of the executive inhibition
upon discussion OF the military or politi-
cal phases OF the present European war
by officers OF either the military or naval
establishment of the United States, II Is
becoming known in Washington that an
absolute embargo on the opinions Of
Uncle Sans fighting men is out OF the
question. Here and there an opinion. or
a group OF opinions, becomes public prop
erty.
Out Of this symposium there has re-
suited what Washington Is pleased TO
term the unofficial consensus Of EXPERT
opinion" The military developments thus
far accomplished in northeastern EC--ope
are accepted in the following review Of
the war to date. II represents the ag-
gregated views Of some Of the leading
military sharps Of the United States
services:
decisive" campaign and clearly definite
results Of the fighting on land in Al
sace-Lorraine. Belgian Luxembourg. the
north OF France and the west Of Ger
many will be disappointed 1t Is believed
that no decisive battle Of the proportions
Of major engagement will be fought
within the next few days The engage
ments in Belgium and AIsace mark the
preliminary ski-mishing of the advance
guards Of the great general war.
Results Of decisive character are not
expected by Uncle Sans military sharps
J for at least two months. No repetition
Of the triumphant march of the Kaiser's
forces TO the investment Of Paris as IL
I 1870 is expected.
The American strategists believe thai
the French have settled down to a de-
fensive war, and with their superior ar.
, tillery they will make a better. drawer
and far more scientific defense than did
the armies Of the second Napoleon forty
| four years ago.
Meanwhile. the ponderous Russian
fighting engine is getting up steam on
the east OF Germany and her Austrian
! ally.
Germany has to watch the back door
as well as the front, which makes the
present exigency for the Teuton empire
very different from the onefsided fight Of
IS70-71.

Warns Bryan.
BREACH OF NEUTRALITY
]. P. MOrsan's Inquiries About Pro-
posed Loan to France Re
sponsible.

The Wilson administration viii view
with disfayor the making OF any loans
to the European belligerents by Amer
lean bankers. Announcement to this ef-
feet was made by Secretary Of State
Bryan.
The administration has no objection 70
American bankers making loans to neu-
trail governments in Europe. but regards
the lending Of money TO belIigerent pow.
ers as inconsistent with the true spirit
of neutrality. In accordance with this
decision. Il yesterday informed the Swiss
charge d'affEires that this governme Mt
would make nc objection to American
bankers lending money to Switzerland.
This statement was made in response 10
an inquiry from the Swiss government.
Result of MOrEan's Inquiries.
The public statement Of the admins
tration's position is the result Of the ten
tative inquiries made by the firm of J. P.
Morgan & Co, which had been sounded
with regard to a proposed loan to France
II is understood that the State Depart
ment will leave II TO the bankers to learn
the administrations views through Sec
rotary Bryan's announcement to the
newspapers. Mr.. Bryan's statement, In
part. is as follows:
There is no reason why loans should
not be made to the governments Of neu
trail nations. but in the judgment Of thii
government loans by American banker
to any foreign nation which Is at war Il
inconsistent with the true spirit Of neu
trality."
The taking Of this position by the vii
son administration marks a new step II
the Interpretation OF the requirements o.
neutrality and in international finance
II Is understood that the decision repre-
sents absolutely the harmonious views o
both President Wilson and Secretar!
Bryan. who regard 1t as necessary e
the same ideals which they have Sc
forth in statements regarding the ad
ministration's positions on other matter
Of international finance. namely. tn
six-power loans to China and relation
with Central and South American coun
tries.
The administration believes that the 20
sition announced yesterday will indirectly
have no small effect upon the duration
of the war. II is their hope that by re-
fusing financial support TO all the bel
ligerents. they will the sooner be brought
to the end OF their resources and COM
PEELED 20 desist from the wars, as the
United States is practically the only ma
ton capable OF making international
loans which Is not indirectly involved in

NOME, ALAskA, JAN. 3, 1918.

Word comes from Washington tha, there ls to be an exhibit of .AIaska products in the office building of the s.nators and in the press club ire qucntcJ by tho army of newspaper men maintained at the national capi- taI Along with this exhibit there will be an onlcial to explain the meaning of the various things in the cases and tc distribute pamphlets and deal out information in regard to things AL askan.
 In other words those interested in the speedy and profitable development of the territory have started the one thing necessary to make Alaska. or any other place or business, success. That Is a campaign of advertising Nothing was ever accomplished In the advancement of a new land or new section of land or in any business en- terprise without constant advertising l; was the advertising of Alaska by the friends of Alaska in congress that resulted in the interest which Is now being taken in the territory by the lesislators. An interest so great that a committee of the house of reprcscn- trtivesi Is contemplating trip to the north next summer to see for itself just what this great land of golden promise holds and just what 1t needs in the way of development and gov ern1uent.
 Had Alaslxans not advertised Alaska. Alaska would not have been brought to tbe attention of congress and that the advertising is paying. as 1t always does pay. is shown by the wonderful interest which has been awakened in the minds of the public as we'll as in the minds of the men who will be TO- spcnslbie for whatever is done for the territory by the national government.
 Whoever is back of this new scheme ot advertising tho territory has start ed something which will be of tre- mendous benent to every community in the north and we must not forget here in Nome that we are part. a very remote part perhaps. but still n part of the land that congress and the people are looking at with curiosity and with the idea of developing.
 It seems to be practically decided ikat this committee of congress will visit Alasks next summer and we hero in Nome must bc sure that when tho lcelslators ao como to Alaska they are not permitted to get into the territory and out of it again without coming tD Nome
 Already other towns of the territory arc being considered in connection with government assistance In tho way of development and we do not wrnt to let this committee get up here to Alaslsa and away again without taking . ride in our overwater tram

 Now is the time to set our minds
