MARKED IMPROVEMENT
 IN BUSINESS OUTLOOK

It certainly would seem as if there were some favorable developments in the European crisis that are not gen. orally known. There are indications that traffic across the Atlantic Is short ly to be resumed. and this, together with the decline in the Bank of Eng land discount rate from 69o to 59o, may mean that Great Britain has now command of the sea. and has bottled up the German fleet.
 The sudden embargo on ocean freight Is the most serious develop mcnt that has occurred in this coun. try and the lifting of 1t will be the most favorable feature that can we'll be imagined.
 While some classes of general in. dustry have received severe shock, some lines report increased activity. Besides an enormous waiting demand for our breadstuffs for European ac- count there are signs that We shall open the South American trade as never before, and supply largely the demand heretofore monopollzed chief. ly by Germany.
 There is certainly an easier feeling existing. While foreign advices are still severely censored, sufficient news is dribbling out to create the belief that war conditions are shaping up against Germany.
  There is more confidence in finan. cial circles. We are quick to meet the situation as it existed, and We are in a position where we can hold our own until a natural readjustment is possible.
 This country has behaved splendid. ly. People have not been carried away by fright. We have simply ap- piled the brakes. and put ourselves in a position to withstand whatever further shock occurs. - Boston News Bureau.

GRAY REFUSES
 FRAME NOMINATION

representative Robert D. Cray of Kataila. who was placed in nomina- t,on at the Frame-Wikldel.Dieringer convention held here last month has written to the members of the con yention refusing to accept the nomi- nation. claiming that he is opposed to the splitting up of the Democratic marty and stating that all Democrats and good Alaskans should get behind inc administration of President Will son and elect Democratic delegate because of the efforts of the President to secure for Alaska the much needed legislation that will make of this Ter ritory a prosperous commonwealth.
 Representative Gray, in his letter after thanking the convention for the honor bestowed upon him, says;
 My friends, were to accept this nomination at the hands of this con vention, I would be doing you a wrong, would be deceiving you and myself by pretending to believe that the Democratic party should be divided. I do not believe we should separate. If there is a wrong in our party. we should reunlte in our eff forts to rectify it. Personal feelings should have no place in party mat ters."

Forest Reserves in Alaska, which are wholly unnecessary to the preserva- tion of the forests, but operate mere Iy as vexatious hindrance to the min CT and the homesteader.
 6. The abolition of the St. Michael Military Reserve, except as to lands actually needed for the use of the Military Post at that point.
 T. To prevent by law the great cor porate financial interests of the coun- try from taking any part in politics, or seeking to exert any secret infu- ence upon Territorial or Federal ofh- cials.
 8. To provide for the admission of Alaska into the Union as State as soon as she has attained population of 100000, which with the impulse given to her growth by the wise policy of the Democratic Administration we confidently expect to secure within very few years.
 g. The speedy extension of the sys- tenn of public surveys to all the agri- cultural lands of the Territory, so that the homestead laws may be eff ciently and economically administer ed; that the law providing for re- serve of eighty rods between claims or navigable water be repealed, and that land office be established in Southwestern Alaska.
 10. The Democratic Party further declares in favor of a Direct Primary Election Law; the Australian Ballot; a Workman's Compensation Law; ad- ditlonal aids to navigation and im- provement to the mouth of the Yu- kon River and the harbor at Nome; liberal appropriations for Roads and Trails; the establishment of more gov .ernment fish hatcheries, and strict regulation of the canneries and fish cries, so that our fishing industry may not be destroyed or impaired; and the reduction of cable tolls.
 The people of Alaska are now be- ginning to reap the benefits flowing from the wise, liberal and just treat ment accorded them by the present administration; and to them we earn estly appeal to support its party and policies, and thereby demonstrate their appreciation and approval; they have never had friend or been given hope from any other administration or party; and regardless of former political associations, we cordially in- vite all men and women who love AL aska to join us in accomplishing the purposes of this platform by electlng It's candidate.

GERMANS CHECK
 IN BELGIUM

Belgian troops did not win much reputation in the Waterloo campaign Berlin may have supposed that the story of ninety.nine years ago would be repeated; that Belgian opposition to an invasion would be mainly for forms sake. and that an easy road to Paris would be opened through the valley of the Mouse. If any such idea existed it seems to have been rudely shattered.
 Though Liege lies only scant 20 miles from the frontier, it still defles a German vanguard which in Napol- cons time would have been a large army. We are getting the news main ly from one side, but 1t would seem that at a moment when time is everything a distinct check has been administered by the valor and read mess of the Belgian forces, giving time for French troops, who are al- ready by invitation upon Belgian soil, to come to their assistance.
 The British call for volunteers, pre- sumably for home duty, hints at the hasty throwing of an expeditionary force into Belgian, as in 1915. The first great battle of this war may yet be fought, not in France and not in Germany. but in the broad high road between, the fat plains of Belgium, and not far from Waterloo. - New York World.

platform adopted at Baltimore in 1912; has freed industry from the domination of special interests; brought independence and prosperity to the people as whole. in spite of the utmost efforts of the great cor porate and financial interests of Wall Street to precipitate a panic for poli- tical purposes; has abandoned the Dollar Diplomacy" of proceeding ad. ministrations and with patience and wisdom guided the country through trying and vexatious foreign compli- cations into the ways of righteous ness and peace.
 And of a far more immediate concern to us, 1t has struck of the shackles which so long bound and restricted this Territory and has at last set AL aska on the high road toward the de- yelopment of a rich, prosperous, hap py and contented commonwealth.
 This development is not only al- ready in full swing at many points in the Territory, but from Cape Fox to Point Barrow, and from the Gulf of Alaska to the Frozen Ocean the Wilson Administration has infused every town and camp with the spirit of hope and confidence in the future.
 The Democratic Party of Alaska, in convention assembled, therefore pled- ges itself and it's candidate for dele gate to Congress to cooperate with the National Administration in securing the following beneficial legislation:
 1. An amendment to the Organic Act, so that in the words of the Presi- dent, Alaska may have full Terri torial form of government" enlarging the powers of the Territorial Legis- lature to every needful subject of leg. islation not of strictly national char acter.
 2. The construction of the trunk lines of railroad from tidewater to the great interior basins, preliminary surveys for which are already under way
 3. The creation of an Administra. tive Development Board, to be com posed of bona flde residents of Alas ka to sit at the Capital of Alaska to perform all the work now in charge of the various bureaus in Washington as advocated by Secretary of the In terior Franklyn K. Lane.
 4. The opening immediately of the coal and oil lands of Alaska, so that those great necessities of civilization may be made cheap and abundant to the people.
 5. The abolition of the National
