war Is nearing an end will find little to confirm their view in the announce ment that the allied nations are mall- ing provisions for continuing the struggle two years hence. Ammuni- ton orders of stupendous size are be- Ing placed for delivery in 1917; factor plements are being constructed, food products are being contracted for and every preparation is being made to carry on the war to the end that Is considered yet remote. All this indi- cates plainly the decision to fight to decisive conclusion-until one side o- the other is hopelessly beaten, and unable to continue. In short the struggle has only reached the point where it is clearly seen that one or the other must be returned a com plete and overwhelming victor, or the efforts of the past year will have been completely thrown away. In view of tnis outstanding determination We are brought face to face with the fact that the struggle has become little less than a war of extermination and that it will oe fought on and on until one side can 10 longer offer defense
 Horrible as this may seem there can De no other logical end. Some one must be completely beaten and subju sated as any other conclusion means nothing less than that the struggle will be again resumed as soon as the eontenders have reached a state of preparation. The nations recognize this and recognize also that there can
 De no half way measures, no dalliance
 or postponement. Things must re- solve themselves into their final ele
 ments in order that lasting peace
 shall be secured and this result can be
 achieved only through the complete lsubjugation of one or the other of the
 contenders.

A LIMIT TO WAR.
(New York Times.)

| AANSh 4OAh AAhCSsl
 l Before the war the combined funded debt of the five great countries, Great Britain. France, Russia, Germany and Austro Hungary, was q little more
 sIa25O,O00,00O. Their combined war loans since the beginning of hos tilities have been more than S9,500,- oO0,OOO. Thus, the debt of the five tombatan1s (Italy being omitted be- cause the effect upon her finances of ner participation in the war cannot yet be determined has increased near 4y 6O per cent ip nine months. Besides these $9,50O, 100000 of war loans. bank 4oans and paper money circulation in the five countries have increased ap .1roximately S5,0O0, 100000, which is to say. they have more than doubled.
 In the twenty years of war from the French revolution to the fall of Napoleon the aggregate funded debt of the principal countries of Europe in- creased somewhat more than 200 per cent. It was s2415,O00,OOO in 179S and S7,36O,0 100000 at the high point of the great funding operations carried through between 1915 and 1920. The Increase was at the rate of about 10 per cent a year. The increase of the combatants' debt in the last nine months, to finance modern war, has 50 per cent.
 Obviously, at that rate of borrow Jig, ten years or even five years of var is financially impossible. If the world could afford to lend the money
 required to finance it Europe could
 Aot afford to borrow it. Already, in less than one year, it Is a question now much more she can afford to bor- row Before the end of the second year it would be question of how much more it were safe to lend her.
 IL Is never safe to lend more than the debtor can reasonably pay. That is no less true of states than persons.

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, OCT. a2, 1915.

An exchange says that the present year has marked the high water mark in the trade relations between the Pa cific coast and Alaska and never be- fore has the volume of trade mounted to such an extensive figure as has been chalked up during the present year. Not only has there been a most de- cided increase in the exports from the territory but the merchandise ship ments from the ports of the coast have also rose far above those of prior years All this shows with certainty that Alaska is gradually forging ahead toward that ultimate development which will in time make the territory the most productive section of the United States. There is hardly an area in the known world that contains the personalities of this great section of the national domain. The volume and variety of resource are absolutely without parallel. Not only is there most wonderful mineral wealth of almost every known character scatter ed with stupendous prodigality over all sections but there Is also a great va riety of other products of inestima- = ble value. The fisheries alone are val ued in the millions and in addition there are a half dozen other products, aside from minerals, which represent an immense value, as wealth producing sources. On every side Is to be found in boundless profusion everything that goes to make prosperity and wealth The territory Is lacking in nothing that contributes to greatness nor Is there single inhibitive condition to prevent the development of all of the industries of other lands. Possessing such boundless stores of latent wealth, the territory cannot fail to become one of the greatest and most prosperous of the earth. Development Is slow at present and the ultimate of produc- ton will not be attained for many de- cades but that the country is going ahead Is plainly indicated by the steady growth of the trade relations with other places

SEWARD.-The right of way along the Alaska Northern track near the city is being cleared for a hundred feet, fifty feet on each side, for the purpose of letting the sun strike the grade and get rid of the snow more quickly in spring. Henry Richards started in today as foreman with a gang of men making the clearing. It is thought possible that by the time the ties are cut so much frost will have come that ballasting and other work on the grade will have to be postponed until spring but there is quite a lot" of work to do elsewhere, no doubt.

TAMA,s SPLENDID CHRISTMAS.
Community Tree For Children and
Needy Ones Remembered.

Special to Times Republican.
Tama, Dec. 27.-The program was
carried out as planned around the
community \ Christmas tree Friday
afternoon. A much larger crowd than
was expected were we'll pleased with
the music, the decorations and more
than all appreciated the fine spirit
everywhere in evidence. The lights
were turned on the eighty evergreens
early and as the weather was rather
dark they made a beautiful setting for
the entertainment. The Tama band
first marched from the city hall and
gathering around the big tree rendered
two selections, when the bugle called
the hundred singers, who came march
ing from the east singing Christmas
carols. They too circled around the
tree and sang the familiar songs, which
sounded beautiful In the crisp air.
The bugle then announced the coming
of Santa Claus, who was driven in
modern style In big touring car
filled with bags Of candy for all the
children. And there were some few
children there. If any were missed it
was because Of their own timidity.
Immediately following this program
the Idle Hour Theater invited all the
children to free show. This was a
very pleasant close to the afternoon.
Sixty baskets containing enough for
several meals for family were sent
out in the forenoon to appreciative
people and orders were given to the
merchants to supply shoes and
clothing to those whom the committee
had found needing such help. i
All pronounce this event to be the
best celebration ever held in Tama.
The whole of the $3.50 which was SO
cheerfully given by the good people Of
Tama was spent to bring happiness
into the homes that otherwise would be
cheerless. The street decorations,
which are said to be the most elaborate
of any attempted in the state were
paid for by the commercial club treas

Mason City, Dec. 27.--Charles Deni-
gan, alias E. H. Lewis, is in the Gus
tody of federal authorities. Denigan
demanded $500 or the life of Charles
Howell, and his letter was placed in
the hands OF Inspector D. A. Collier, OF

man, Mimi, but was finally picked up
at Park Rapids. At Truman the last

In August last Charles Howell, who
operates large Jersey dairy herd,
asked of q Chicago agency to send
him suitable man. He had hired
several good men thru this agency.
When the man giving the name OF
Denigan arrived Howell did not like his
looks and said that he was provoked
with the company that would send him
such a man. He told Denigan that he
did not want him and this incensed
Denigan not a little. He replied to
Howell that he didn't care to work for
such man. In a few days he re-

Text 6ooks-Stats Association Com
mittse Made Up Of Strong Educators.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 27.--Educators high
in the circles Of the Iowa State Teach
ers' Association unite In saying that
the next big thing on the educational
program, aside from continuance of
the fight to secure pensions for the
aged teachers. is that Of making judic-
ious use of the blue pencir' in the
school curriculum.
The topic of elimination Of obsolete
and useless materials from the COM
mon school branches is to be kept right
at the front.
1t will be recalled that at the last
session of the association held in this
city committee report on this sub
ject received much attention and the
COMMITTEES was continued with addi-
tons to make further investigation
and report. The committee is made up
OF some of the very ablest Of the edn-
Gators, of the state, as follows: G. NJ.
Wilson, Ames; w. l.. Hanson, Burling-
ton: G. Fl. Belts. Mount Vernon; w.
Il. Cramer, Atlantic; f. f. Lewis, Iowa
City; c. w. Stone, Cedar Falls; J. r.
Stacks, Sac City; f. w. Hicks, Ames;
J. II. Beveridge Council Bluffs; c. w.
Kline, Waterloo; NJ. G. Clark, Sioux
City; Eugene Henely, Grinnelil~,
The preliminary report of the COM
mittee indicated a belief that the
wedding out process as applied to use
less stuff has not been keeping pace
with the process of addition of new
material found to be required by the
necessities of the times; that a vast
amount Of material is being carried
along in the school work that might
better be supplanted by other equally
good material more modern In its char
acter; and that the necessity for this
trimming out process has become i'm
perative.
The committee intends to do some
investigating this year and probably
the next: but is expected to make a
report to the state association next
year that will form the basis of very
material changes in the school work II:
Iowa. The preliminary report Is to be
printed and distributed and all possible
publicity be given to the entire sub
ject.
