We would like to see all factions unite when it comes to the question of civic betterment. We are laying on our oars and depending too much upon our neighbours efforts. Let us impress upon our delegate when he visits this city that we must have an appropriation for a new cable, and a whopping big one for our auto road to the interior. If we can't do this by ourselves let's combine with some other city, until we get the necessary strength to enforce our rights. We have had pin-money appropriations showed at us so long that congress believes we are satisfied with any thing it chooses to give us. Don't ask for thousands; we need millions. Millions are going out of the terri tory to enrich eastern capital; why should we not receive millions back to help develop the country they are interested in financially. The bal ance has always been on the wrong side of the ledger for Alaska. Let us find the cause of the deficit or get an- other bookkeeper.

"The Socialist thought he could |

"The Socialist thought he could stop war;" said Darrow in. an address as Chicago. "A large number of En- glish and French and fully one-third of the population of Germany are So- cialists, yet the German Socialist will run a dagger into his French com rade just the same as other people. The German Socialists support the kaiser, and the French and English and Belgian Socialists went into the war all cheerfully as the rest. They all believe in the brotherhood of man, and they are not supposed to be pa- triotic. They have never considered the state as their friend, yet they fight for it."
 Darrow concludes that socialism does not reach the elemental feelings of men. He finds that primal feel ing cuts below human theories and that the real character of man cannot be changed by any intellectual pro- cess. ...' '.
 Scanning other fields for failure, Darrow suggests that trades unionism has likewise failed; union men are killing each other. Christianity, he says, has failed; men who commune at the same altar are shooting each other. Darrow also held the theory that capital is without country or patriotism; he thought money was worth so much that it would never be wasted for war. He finds that it the banker is shoveling it out on both sides of the European struggle, and locking up their emptied vaults and going out to fight, like other people. Even the great philosophers are di- vided in their sympathies.
 The elemental impulse of man is to fight; fight to defend his life, and the lives of his family. Theories of ex- isting economic ideas, the trouble of existence, all are forgotten in the of war, of anger or revenge One must have life before he can have else. Human life, the home, the family, are all bound inextricably with the life of the nation. One who threatens or invades it is an enemy, no matter what his theories of exis- tence may be. Even pacificists are silent, and reach for their guns on the approach of the invader.
 War, indeed, reminds us how frag- ile are the petty differences of men differences that are so displaced by the deep and elemental emotions.
 It is the conclusion of Darrow that the end of the war will find men brought closer together in common sentiment, through the brotherhood of blood; the common sacrifice of the battlefield and the trenches.
 Perhaps he is right!-P. I.

TIN CONCENTRATES ARE
 SHIPPED FROM NOME.

About thirty tons of tin concen- trates brought down from the Buck creek dredge by the Silver Wave were shipped to the outside on the Victoria. This is the second consign- ment of tin shipped to the outside during the present season. The Vic toria also took out shipment Of thirty tons of antimony from the He'd mine in addition to one hundred tons of the same kind of ore taken on at St. Michael from the mines of the in- terior. Reliable information indicates that the antimony mines in the Fair banks district are preparing to make extensive shipments of the mineral during the coming summer. The an- timony mine owners of the interior were quick to recognize the possibil- ities incident to the increase of price during the war period and several large shipments have since been for warded to the states long ago. A total of nearly fifteen hundred tons have been shipped so far. the first of which came down on the first steam CT down the Yukon last spring. The most striking feature of this matter is that. until very recently, the own CTS of anthony ledges around Nome, made little or no effort to do anything with their ores although the news that the, interior was shipping the mineral down the Yukon reached Nome several months ago. With the most valuable, deposits in the whole territory lying within a days walk of the city, but a pitiful little ship ment of thirty tons have left this port to date. Why this should be is mat ter for wonder.-Nome Nugget.

Jehospehat "Gefallen."

PARIS: One of the prisoners re- gently returned to France, having been exchanged for German of equal rank and grading, tells the following story:
 "I was interned in prisoners camp in Saxony. After our first stu pefaction passed somewhat we be- came very eager for news of the way the battle was going.
 "Our guardians spoke not word of French, but one of our number spoke a little German, and he finally dared to ask for information of non-commissioned officer, who looked more or less human.
 "'What about Versailles?" he in quired.
 'Gefallen,' laconically answered the German.
 "'And Rouen?'
 "'Gefallen'
 "'And Nantes
 "'Gefallen.'
 "'Holy Jehosephat!' exclaimed our comrade.
 "'Gefallen,' persisted the dispen- ser of information.
 "And then we breathed sigh of relief"
