WAR NEWS

spite o tho rigorous censorship the present war in Europe being reported in the newspapers better than any previous war of major importance in the his tory of the world This statement is made with run knowledge of the conflicting reports that come from day to day To judge Of It's correctness, however it
 must be insisted that one taSe the reports they cOy CT a period of a week or moro The true account of real occurrences on the field Of battle are seldom far behind the events and important results generally printed on the day of the occurrence.
 It is true and very natural that untruthful sensa- tonal and exaggerated reports exploited frequently but the denial is never behind But even in this respect the war s not different than others have been If we have more O, these due the fact that there are SO many more armies the field at widely sep arated parts of the European continent.
 The reasons for the better report Of course due to improved facilities for transmitting and the fact that there are more men engaged in the work
 The main difficulty tha. newspapers have encoun- tered in this war we except censorship is to get ae- eurate information from Germany There have been times when the papers were practically compelled to conline themselves to official statements for German news but that handicap by the reporters in Holland and Denmark who so to the front and return to Copenhagen or Amsterdam and send their news rom these points By this means German events of importance have been reported within short time Of their occurance There have been periods of course where the governments have been able to hold sack news of troop movements for days particularly as to the Eastern front but usually results have been report cd from there quickly.

 Alaska it appears is not to await the completion of the federal transportation development before showing signs Of industrial awakening Advces from the north foreshadow unusual production of wealth during the present year There is ample water for sluicing op eratons new placer and quartz districts are being op ened and the production of copper has been greatly n creased by reason of the demand for the metal estimated that the value of the metal production of Alaska for the current year may be 100 per cent greater than last year.
 In 1914 the copper production of the Territory amounted to approximately $SSo0000 This year the production copper in the Cordova district alone expected to reach total of S2O0O00oO Copper and gold together may yield aggregate values beyond SS0 0000oo.
 The new Toloyana and Livengood creek camps n the Fairbanks district promise well in placer gold devel opment and many experienced mining men arc engaged in opening these fields portion of which requires heavy machinery The beginning of railway construc- ton has stimulated prospecting greatly. Alasas great development but just beginning this year. and what that is ultimately be foreshadowed in the probable 100 per cent increase in mineral production for the current year.
 All this is to have direct beneficial effect upon Seattles immediate future It not only indicates nd vdual prosperity those of citizens who are di- rectly interested but general increase in the com merce of Seattle with the North. Alaska steamship lines are this doing the largest business in their history and the future promises an even greater ex pansion.

 Napoleon did not make war for the sheer love of battle and conquest. He entertained great idea and believed that destiny had cnosen him to work n into a realization.
