Mail Carrier Is
 Drowned In River

James Atchison, while carrying the mail from kaltag to Holy Cross re- gently, broke through the ice in the Yukon river and was drowned. ac- cording to word that was received in Fairbanks a few days ago.
 In the early part of November, Atchison left with a load of mail for Holy Cross, taking the mail in a dog sled. The dogs returned several days late: alone, and with parts of their harness still hang ing to them.
 A searching party started out to locate Atchison, and on November 10, the place where he broke through the ice on the Yukon river was found, and the body located in eight feet of water
 Mir. Atchison was a member of the firm of Atchison X Lawrence. The firm provided wood in the summer time to the steamboats and in the winter carried the mail over the route MT. Atchison was travelling when he met with accidental death,

AMERICAN FOREIGNERS.

That American neutrality has been hampered to some extent by people who are foreigners by birth or par entage is generally conceded. In every community there are people who claim to be Americans, but whose loyalty for one or another of the countries now at war in Europe have made it appear that they are really not Americans at heart.
 These people are the subject of severe editorial "roast" in recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post, which designates them as "Hyphen- ated Americans" because they are French-Americans. English-Americans Russian-Americans. English-Ameri- cans. or something similar and. in short. have a hyphen before the word American.
 It would be we'll for each of these American foreigners to read the edi- torial and give it serious considera- tion. It is as follows:
 Whatever American citizen cher ishes a hyphen in these days ought to take it off and have good look at 1t in the cold light of facts. He is going comfortably to his business and pleasure as usual. with nothing worse to fear than a punctured tire

OUR RAILROAD AND WAR.

In the face of a financial deficit, brought on by a lack of imports following the breaking out of the war in Europe, there Is fear ex- pressed that the government will stop the building of the Alaska rail road. This fear is more pronounced in the coast towns of Alaska than in Fairbanks, but it does not seem that 1t is we'll founded.
 When the Alaska railroad bill was passed. it practically carried with 1t an appropriation for the building of the road. This is made evident from the fact that 1t said in part, That the cost of the work author ized by this act shall not exceed s35, 100000. and in executing the authority granted by this act, the President shall not expend nor obli- gate the United States to expend more than that sum ."
 It is true that the bill appropriated $1 0OO. 900 for commencing the work. but it seems that in the absence of an appropriation the President may draw upon the credit of the United States for enough money to complete the road
 Thus it seems that the only way to prevent the President from build ing the road would be for congress to pass a law annuling the bill authorizing it's construction. This is decidedly improbable.
 Another reason why the war can. not be expected to prevent the con struction of the road is the fact that only part of the appropriation for 1t will be needed next year. and the rest will be made as 1t is found necessary. The bill providing for the construction of the road does not require the government to ex- pend the full $35,0o0,000 for the work. but limits its cost to that amount.
 While the estimated cost of the road is not yet made public. there is reason to believe that the one line. if constructed by the Broad pass route, will not cost the full $35 100000. or more than half that. It is reported by the engineers who made the surveys that there are no steep grades on the route and that the average cost per mile will not be great. There are no tunnels to build, though in . few places there

.ickersham and
 Others Depart

Nine passengers departed by auto mobile for the Outside Tuesday morning. The passengers left in the autos belonging to Tom Gibson and Fred Robinson. They were to be relayed at McCarty to the autos driv- by Sheldon and Ashton, and at Gulkana they will be transferred to a truck.
 Owing to the fact that Delegate Wickersham was one of the passen- gers, there was an unusually large crowd on hand to see the machines leave. As the autos started, the crowd gave rousing cheers for Mir Wickersham.
 Those leaving on the autos were: Delegate Wickersham, w. H. Me Phee, George Hutchinson, Mir and Mrs John Joslin H. Youngquist, Mrs. Blanche Martin and two chil- dren. Mrs. Martin is taking one of her children to the States for medical treatment.

or a crowded street car If he has sons above eighteen years of age he knows they are snug at school or at rome,
 If he were still under the flag to which his hyphen sentimentally attaches him he would probably have comparatively little business left to look after. A dark. chaotic welter would constitute his outlook on the breadwinning side. Heartbreaking search of the lists of dead and wound ed would be his chief domestic oc cupation if he had sons of military age
 And all for nothing-all for pa per dosmas of statecraft which have not the least relation to his own real interests and the interests of his neighbors. If he were French or German Austrian or Russian. or even British he would be caught in the vast destruction wrought by failure of governmen, and civiliza- tion in Europe The flag to the right of his hyphen is the only big one left that stands for those things that make the lot of the twentieth century Caucasian better than that of the sixteenth-century Indian.
 Having looked at his hyphen in the light of these facts. maybe he will stop parading 1t. This Is the worst time there ever was to invite American admiration for any Euro pean system.
 "In the main this war proves the essential solidarity of the American public, and no one objects to any citizens entertaining in private what ever sympathies he pleases; but if any exceptional citizen of foreign birth or foreign-born parents feels so indissolubly welded to his hy phen that he must flourish it in other peoples faces. the logical course for him is to take the next east-bound steamer and shoulder a musket"

are some rocky bluffs to cut through.
 II is planned by Delegate Wicker sham 10 introduce a bill in con gress appropriating s1O,0O0oO0 for construction work next year. Sta tistics show that some of the big railroad systems built in the States were constructed at an average cost of s20,O00 a mile. Thus sl0,000.000 at that rate. would build 500 miles than from Fairbanks to the coast
 If the wages were the same in Alaska as in the States. it is quite certain that the Broad pass sec tion of the road would be completed or nearly completed, for the s1O,- GOO 900. But supposing that it will cost twice that amount to build the road. it would still be far under the appropriation.
 One of the important things to be remembered however, when the matter of war interference with the new railroad is suggested, is that the new war tax is expected to make up the deficiency caused by the war. and with 1t the country will be in position to carry on It's contem- plated expenditures. The danger of delay in the building of the railroad is certainly not to be expected, un- less some new condition presents itself between now and next sum- mer

OR. BRADLEY SliGHTED.

Friends of Dr Aline Bradley, city physician, have called attention to the manner in which she is being 'slighted by the Times. and it is supposed that these personal sights come from the fact that Dr Bradley fails to advertise in that newspaper.
 One of the features of the pro gram given at the Auditorium a week ago Saturday night. when the reception was given to Delegate Wickersham and other newly elected officials. were the songs rendered by Dr Bradley Her first selection re- ceived very hearty applause, and but when the Times appeared the next morning. she was not men toned.
 This omission caused much com ment, and then somebody called at. tention to the fact that on the day previous to the reception. the Times gave the entire program. but had then. also, omitted Dr. Bradley's name.
 But this is asserted by Dr. Brad leys friends to be but one of many instances that the Times has slight ed Dr. Bradley. It is pointed out that on previous occasions similar omissions of her name had been made.
 Thus it is evident that the Times is making its own news items in complete, thereby denying it's read CTS impartial information. for the questionable purpose of getting even" with people who fall to pa tronize its columns
 One of the most important assets that a newspaper can have is ab- solute public confidence in its news This does not mean that any news paper is so perfect that it never makes a mistake, for the fact that liIV IV opdpSIS illuSl ucpcuu upOIl all sorts of people about the city to provide them with information. makes mistakes always possible
 But when a newspaper deliberate ly colors it's news for the purpose of injuring any person it does not like. it is certain to lose public con- fidence and public support
 In the case of pr. Bradley the slight is doubly unjust, for she, like many other public spirited people about the city. is ever willing to give her time and talents for the public benefit She was not getting paid for her singing at the Wicker sham reception, and she was pro viding a leading feature of the en- tertainment. simply to be of bene fit to the public If she had made a failure as an entertainer, the Times could have said so, but to leave her out of the news story descriptive of the occasion and give the names of the other performers was cheap journalism.
 Dr Bradley is a professional wo- man whose time is worth money to her She has been identified with the social life of Fairbanks for years, and if she is discouraged from giv- ing her services free for the enter tainment of the public, the people of Fairbanks will be the losers, and they can place their loss at the door of narrow-tracked newspaper.

Hotels Defined In
 A Legal Opinion

In an opinion rendered for the in- formation of Clerk Mcbride of the federal court, District Attorney Roth declared that the places where peo- pie are provided with rooms for rent, but meals are not served them, do not have to pay hotel license, though he says that any public rooming house that has a bar Is a hotel.
 The license fee for a hotel is $50. while that for a rooming house Is only $l0. Under the interpretation of the law presented by MT. Roth. some of the places in Fairbanks that were previously classed as ho- tels will hereafter be classed as room ing houses

GERMANY'S PLANS.

 ed 1t was predicted editorially by The Citizen that the Germans and Austrians would keep up an active campaign until the turning point in the war is reached This prediction thus far has proved to be correct, for 1t is evident that the Germans realize that delay will give the al lies opportunity to gain strength, and will be of little benefit to the leu tons. who were we'll prepared for the war when 1t started.
 The fighting of the Germans seems to be in accordance with carefully laid plans. It is quite certain that they realized that Turkey is too weak to accomplish much against Russia, but they knew that if Fur key declared war, Russia would have to withdraw much of her forces to guard the territory of the Black sea and the Caspian sea, where the Turks would be in position to do much damage if let alone.
 The latest move on the part of Germany and Austria to place a great force in Poland seems to be in accordance with carefully laid plan, also. The allies in France and Belgium are so strongly intrenched that it Is hard to make headway against them. At the same time. it is quite evident that the allies are not at present prepared to leave these intrenchments to invade Ger many. Thus the latter country can keep the allies busy with compara- lively small force, and the main strength of the Teutons can be em- ployed against the Russians.
 It is evident that the Germans expect to gain one or both of two important points by centering her efforts at the present time against Russia. In the first place, by in vading Russian Poland with an over- whelming force, the allies may find 1t necessary to hurry to Russia's assistance This would weaken the lines of the allies in France and Belgium, and by the aid of her rail roads, the Germans could get back to the battle line in the west be- fore the allies could return their troops from Russia, and by that tactful means, would find less resistance in the west
 In the second place, the invasion of Russia may result in crippling that nation, and causing her to sue for peace. If Russia Is hard press ed by the Germans and the allies do not rush to Russia to aid the latter. there is a chance that Rus sia will blame the allies for not aid ing her, and may desert them.
 Whether these tactful moves on the part of Germany will gain the expected end remains to be seen. but 1t is evident that with it all Germany will keep up the fight as long as there Is any hope for sue cess, even though bleak winter proves an obstacle to her operations. If the war keeps up at its present rate many more months all the parties to 1t will probably be so worn out that even the victors will be almost crippled.

 BEFORE the Spanish war, the standing army of the United States totaled less than 25,00O men.
