BUNNELL PLEASES
 JUNEAU PEOPLE

MT. Charles E. Bunnen, Dem ocratlc candidate for Delegate to Con gress was given very enthusiastic reception at meeting held in Juneau theatre last night under the auspices of the Juneau Democratic club and the club took 1t upon itself to select a campaign committee. President J. R. Vim of the club presided at the meeting which was one of the most interesting to be held in several months. After the transaction of some business matters including the pre- liminary preparations for the coming campaign, a short address was made by Mir. Bunnell, and at the close of the meeting Mir. Bunnell was present. ed to those who attended the meeting.
 Mir. Bunnell did not take up the plat form for discussion, stating that he would do this on his next visit to Ju- mean, but gave his time principally to discussing what President Wilson and the Democratic administration had done for Alaska, advancing the argument that a Democrat should be sent to Congress and gave his idea of what constitutes a Democrat, He de- nies that there are any Progressive Democrats or any Progressive Demo cratic party. He holds thahall DSEa. ocrats are progressive in Alaska.
 A resolution was passed by the club empowering President Vim to ap- point campaign committee for the first division consisting of five mem- bers, two of whom are to be women, and the committee is to be named within the next five days. Every means is to be employed to carry on a vigorous campaign.
 It was announced that Mir Bunnell would speak today on Douglas Island and that tonight he would address q meeting there. Members of the Ju. neau Democratic club and citizens gen erally are invited to attend from .Ju- neau-
 Mir. Bunnell Is making good i'm. prer ,ion. everywhere he appears. At Ketchikan a remarkably successful meeting was held and a demand is made for his return to that place later in the campaign. At Wrangell Repre-. sentative S. J. Svindseth of the Terri. torial legislature and other leading Democrats are out working already. The south end of the First division looks more favorable than ever.
 Mir. Bunnell will leave on the Ala meda tomorrow for Valdez and plans to leave that place immediately for Fairbanks and Nome, returning to fin ish the campaign in the First division in October

GERMANY STRONGEST
 NATION IN EUROPE

NEW YORK, Aug. 15. = Hudson Maxim, inventor of the Maxim gun and other things and author says that Germany occupies the strongest posi- ton of all the nations which are now at war in Europe. Germany will sut. fer greatly. however, he said, through her fatal error of adhering to diri- -gibles instead of using aeroplanes. He thinks France is probably the best equipped nation in the world in it's air fleet. but on land Germany occupies the strongest strategic position, as her armies will fight from center while those of the opponents will fight from the circumference. England, Mir. Maxim believes, will aid her allies with her money and navy. He says Russia is problematical. She has the latest design of machine guns, how ever. and probably is up to the stand ard in other respects.
