\ WAR OF ANIAZONs

The press news received by the Daily Alaskan yesterday announcing that 25o,Ooo seryian women will soon line themselves up in battle array to resist the invasion and subjugatsou of their country by the Teu,ous, the BuIgecs and their her cdirarv enemies, the Turks, is not surprising when We come to glance back oyer the history and legends of the country in which the scenes of coming deadly conflict between warriors of both sexes are to be staged. 1t is, however, rather euligbteniug, as it seems to cor roborate in measure the truth cr the traditions that have be-u handed down to Us that after a ua- ton has reached the pinnacle o, culture and civilization it commence t5 rerrog-ade in a more or less marked degree until it again yer=es OH the boundaries Of the primitive Not that We meau to assert that Sevr4 bas reached either stage, for she has become, through her geo. graphical situation alone, involved iu a lie and death struggle for st. preuacy between the worlds pows.s wherein she was made the excuse but vas not the direct cause of tae conflict.
 In Greek legend there was raso of women supposed to have dwe.t oa the coast of the Black Sea and iu the Caucasus mountains, in the region HOW populated by the people oI se-yia and the other Balkan states. They were called Amazous, and their contests, for which 1t is stated their right breasts were rs- moved iu order to allow them free dom .a the use of the bow and jay eIin, were a tayorste theme in Gre clan a-c and story. They were re- presented as forming a state from which men were excluded, as de- voting themselves to Wal and hunt iog, and as often in conflict with the Greeks in the heroic age.
 But it is in the famous legend of the Amazoas that We must look for the catet evidence preserved to us by classical antiquity of the in- uusaces exercised by the Hitttes in Asia Minor. The Amazons were imagined to be a nation of female warriors, whose primitive home lay in Kappadokia, on the banks Of the Tneruodou, and not far from the ruins of Bogaaz Keul From hcuc they had issued forth to conquer th people of Asia Minor, and to found an empire which reached to the. Aegean Sea. The building of many cI the most famous cities on the Aegean coast was ascribed to theu-Nyrina and Kyme, smyrna and Ephesos, where the worship of the great Asiattc goddess was car ried On with barbaric ceremonies into the later age Of civilized Greece.
 There is also said to have been a tabled tribe Of female warriors who existed in south America. This report originated in an Indian myth which was found from the West h. dies to Paraguay, and still exists among the Caribs and others.
 Famous travellers into Darkest Africa have told. of powerful native kings In that region whose main dependence for supremacy ill their almost constant war fare with neighbOring tribes was upon immense armies of women. who had proved themselves more efficient fighters than men.

Exports from the United States In
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1916
were valued lat the large amount OF
s2.76S,8bs,340, an increase Of l$402, o1o,,
1s2, or 1878 per cent, over the value
for the preceding fiscal year!
On superficial consideration these
figures might seem to indicate an Ell,
tirelyg satisfactory condition, but II we
enalyze them we find that our In.
creased exports fall largely under two
headings; sales to the belligerent
countries Of war munitions and sup.
plies, and sales to neutral countries
of3goods which formerly they bought
largely from the countries now at war.
SO long as the war continues 1t Is
probable that our exports of these
commodities will be limited only by
the purchasing power OF our foreign
customers. by our capacity for produc.
ton, and by the cargo space available
foratheirl carriage by sea.
The}real test OF our ability to devel.
opA and to maintain an enlarged for.
eign trade will come when, with the
termination OF the war. Europe ceases
to call for munitions and greatly re.
ducesl hcri purchases Of foodstuffs, and
when the peoples who are now our
best customers and those as well who
are NOW shut off from us by blockades
again become our active rivals in the
markets of the world.
The war trade itself needs no fos.
tering care. It will continue In full
volume until peace Is established.
Those OF US who are interested in a
permanent export business need give
ttslittle attention. But we should ex-
ert our best efforts at once to finding
markets for those products Of our
fields, mines, and factories that are in
demand In peace as well as In war
and to establishing our goods in those
markets so firmly that they may be
able to hold their place against the &C.

Thinks America Would
Be Impotent in War

NEW YORK. May 9.-The possibilities
| OF war between the United states
and Germany in case Of the destruction
Of an American merchant ship or the
loss of American lives through the Ger
| man submarines in the war zone, are
deprecated as little more than ludi-
crous, in the Frankfurter Heitung OF
April 16. which discusses President VIII
sons warming that he would hold Ger
! many accountable in such an event
That Gcrmania has lost a great part
of her children to America has often
been painfully felt over there" says the
paper, which publishes its comment un-
| der a New York date line. But the
emigration has also its brighter side for
the old homeland, and the last few days
have given proof of that. When, after
the announcement Of the German mill
tary authorities concerning the war
zone. President Wilson spoke in big
tones about the 'strictest accountability
which he would insist upon In case an
American ship should be torpedoed,
some OF the newspapers discussed what
might follow such ar event.
TO be sure, they did not wish to ad-
init. what was clear and palpable. but
the manner and method In which the
debate was conducted permitted 1t to
be seen at once that q war between
Germany and America belonged, so to
speak, 10 the impossible. Now as well
as hereafter.
AT present America would be impo-
tent. anyway. to undertake anything
against Germany. for what America
can do other powers can do much bet
ter. AS matter OF fact, In a war.
Uncle Sam and the Deutsche Michel
could at present do little more than
make faces at one another. But the
chief reason why a war would be un-
| thinkable. IL the presence Of an enor-
| nous German element in the United
States. What could be done, for instance,
with the 100000 German-speaking
migrants? And what with their 100000
children? And their grandchildren who.
| In many cases. still think along Ger
man lines?
! And II now a war should break out.

pie that goes to war only half-heBrt- =

elements OF the population are not

try: but even in the Anglo-AmeriCan
