W HA I |S DOING
 AT RAILROAD TERMINAL

ANCHORAGE, August 2--That the postoffice in new town is near ing completion. It will be a roomy, comfortable place. The practice of opening the office one hour on Sundays has been discontinued. William Wooster and Mrs. Wooster are here, coming the entire distance from Bristol bay in a small dory equip ped with an Evenrude. Due to lack of salmon, the canneries are not doing we'll this season, says Wooster. Candidates for the school board are: Director, Mrs. NJ. T. Normile; treas uere, M. Finkelstein; clerk A. J. Wendler.
 The Anchor Cement and Block Company has begun the manufacture of cement blocks for buildings, chim. neys, etc.
 The Deep Sea Salmon Company. operating at Goose bay, Knik arm, has up to date put up 10000 case of salmon. Another good run of salmon is now on.
 Patents have been issued to the Gold Bullion Mining Company's claims and the Independence Mining Con- pany's claims in the Willow creek gold district.
 Rumors of a gold stampede to some point in the vicinity of Anchorage are rife, but diligent inquiry on the part of the Pioneer man failed to get any accurate account of the strike. ! In the Commissioners court, Karl Schlin was sentenced to serve three months in the local bastile for viola. tion of section 1922, and Peter Geros got four months for assault and bat tery.

WILL EXTEND ROAD ID
 FAIRBANKS, SAYS RIGGS

In noting the arrival of Thos. Riggs. Jr., of the Alaska Engineering Com. mission at Seward, the Gateway says.
 most interesting fact mentioned by MT. Riggs is that the building of the railroad to Fairbanks will mean the doubling of the output of that camp. The price of wood in there now is from eight to sixteen dollars and the lower grade placers cannot be profitably operated until the Nenana coal can be shipped in Mir. Riggs was also asked as to whether Fairbanks has been absolutely decided upon as the interior terminal and he expressed surprise that such question was necessary. The president named Fairbanks in his executive order" said the commissioner. He will spend about four days at Anchorage and then come to Seward, later making connec- tions for Fairbanks which he expects to reach about September 1. He has no comment to make on the railroad matters and turned off the questions by the reminder that Mir Edes is the man to give out anything in the shape of information.

 SHIPPING COPPER

w. A. Dickey, the Landlock Bay Mining operator, reports that $30,000 worth of copper ore has been shipped from his claims this season and that the work is being pushed as fast as possible. He has also taken out con siderable ore on the Mason and Glea- son claims on Fidalgo Bay, which, however, will not be shipped to the shelter until fall as the ore must be sledded to the beach after the arrival of snow. The Rystrom property Is also about to make heavy shipments to Tacoma.

REPAIRS BEING MADE
 ID GOVERNMENT TRAIL

Col. Richardson, chairman of the road commission, is making every ef- fort to repair the government road so that the many travellers from the in- terior may reach the coast in com fort. The closing down of the Cordo- va road made it impossible for the using of that route and all travel will come via Valdez for several weeks Supt Ingram made trip of inspection to the canyon yesterday and reports that it will be several days before the canyon will be passable for wagons and automobiles. The commission will build a bridge over the glacier stream near Valdez and will put in the piling and temporary bridge un- til the arrival of the necessary ma- terial which has been telegraph for. Colonel Richardson is much concern ed, fearing that those unfamiliar with conditions will attempt to cross the streams and meet with an accident
 He wishes that those who intend to go over the road and are not familiar with the conditions call at the road commission office.-Valdez Prospector.

Weakness of A. B. G. Policy.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The recent news dispatches from
Washington containing what is called the
announcement by the administration of its
Mexican policy, which is expected to take the
place of "watchful waiting tend to confirm
the belief, existing in the minds Of people
who have lived in Mexico and who are ia
milar with its recent history, thN whoever
may be responsible for our course toward
that country is still laboring under a COM
plete Misunderstanding, both OF the situa-
ton and of the Mexican character. If the
object of the American government is to
sOlidify the Mexican population in support of
the CarranZa party, then it can accomplish
that end in no better way than toennounce
that it is supporting the Villa and Zapata
factions because Carrcnza has refused to
follow advice received from Washington. Mr..
Carranza could wish for nothing better than
TO be the sole leader to stand out against
any demands that may be made by the Amer
lean administration, for that would show
cOnclusyely to the Mexican mind that he is
the strongest Of all, since the Mexicans would
reason that the others were so weak as to
require American support, whereas Carranza
was so strong that he could defy it.
The Mexican people, as a whole, are in
tensely anti-American, and will always stand
behind any one who dares to pull the eagles
feathers and against any of their leaders
who appear to be under the dictation of
Washington. To Americans who have lived
in Latin America the calling in of diplomats
from those countries to decide questions
which concern them only remotely is another
sign of the great weakness of our present
foreign policy, and ii will be so considered
throughout Latin America. The American
administration should concern itself primari-
ly with the lives and interests of American
citizens in Mexico, demanding that they be
respected and the various diplomats called
into consultation have no interest whatso-
ever in that phase of the situation did I
hear somebody say, Neither has the Ameri-
can administrations If the government
had taken this view from the beginning and
had not endeavored to uplift the little
brown brother" 50 much, it would not now
be squirming around to try to get out Of a
situation which is to a great extent of its
own making. REPATRIATE

Preserve Deep Sea Hotel.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: While reading your valuable paper l
have noticed several articles regarding the
closing Of the "Arbuckle Deep Sea Hotel, +"
which will render number Of helpless girls
homeless.
While | fully realize the number Of char
table institutions there are in New York
end the hundreds of appeals there Are made
for funds and donations every day, ! do
think that there should be way to keep this
hotel open.
| am more than sure that if subscription
were started through your valuable paper it
would not take long to establish fund for
the maintenance of the boat Even though if
only for a year it will be a great help for
those who are its boarders. At the present
time business is very poor all over the coun-
try, and judging from present indications the
coming winter will be one of the most disas-
trous ever experienced by the poor of New
York. There are surely good times in store
for us, but it is hardly likely that they will
reach US before next spring, so in the mean
time let us do what we can to Tighten the suf-
ferings of those in need.
While the inhabitants of the boat hotel
represent but a very small percentage Of
New Yorks needy, can we afford to let these
girls be thrown into the streets without food
or lodgings upon their own resources, with
out any means Of support whatever?
If your paper will consider the above for
one am willing to start the subscription with
500 or as much more as | can spare, and |
am sure that there Thousands of others
who will donate, if only pennies, to help these
worthy women.
If you will assign some one OF your staff to
take charge of this affair | am sure that they
can enlist the cooperation OF some Of your
wealthy New Workers and perhaps arrange a
lcncnt performance at one of the theatres.
J trust that you will see fit to publish
this in the columns of your paper

"An Ideal Antiseptic."

1t was announced in dispatch from
Paris the other day that Carrel and Dakln
had lately devised perfect antiseptic for
use in The field, an antiseptic which if
applied in time would make infection in
wounds henccforth impossible"
With due allowance for eXaggeration 1t
is evident that the discovery is Of great
moment, for hitherto none of the more
familiar antiseptcs has given general
saUslaction Carboic acid, iodine, sail
cvlic acid, sublimate lotion and so forth
have all been tried, but it has been com
monty admitted that none of them proved
altogether suitable. DR.. Carrel turned his
attention to the hypochlorites as the most
potent Of known germicides and has found
a method Of turning them to good account
for surgical uses with preparation which
is not too irritating to the tissues and
does not too quickly lose its potency by
decomposition.
The brief account that has come over
the cable indicates that he and his col
league have hit on a method nearly resem-
bling that independently devised by Pro-
fcssor j. Lorrain Smith Professor Murray
brennan, DR.. Theodore Kettle and Mr..
William Campbell as the result of an in
yestigation undertaken at the request OF
the Medical Research Committee of the
British Medical Association. Their ann
was to find an antiseptic suitable for first
ard dressing, an antiseptic capable Of de-
stroying spores as well as ordinary bacte-
rial forms rapidly, and their first obserya-
tons directed their attention particularly
to the hypochlorites.
The great germicidal power Of hypo-
chlorous acid and the hypochlorites has,
Of course, long been recognized. The
investigators remark that seventy years
ago Semmelweiss checked an outbreak Of
fever in Vienna by the use Of
bleaching powder The important point
was to find a practical way of using it.,
and apparently Professor Lorrain and his
associates and Or. Carrel and his fellow
Investigator worked in the same direction,
making use OF the action of boric acid on
bleaching powder.
The antiseptic can be used either as a

Crop Prospects.

When it comes to the sinews Of war as
distinct from its accoutrements, Uncle
Sam can give the world an example OF
preparedness unexampled in history
Whatever his deficiencies and anxletieS
should he 90 to war, he at least need not
worry concerning his food supply. Nc
conceivable combination Of enemies from
without his borders could starve him lite
submission. SO much for the military
significance (and in these evil days il is
the military significance which first SIG
gests itself of the governmental crop re
port
But most fortunately there seems little
immediate likelihood that he need treat
his vast food supply as other than simply
bountiful surplus of the good things OF
life to be knocked down, once his own
needs have been met, to the highest for
eign bidders. As for its financial signif-
canoe. then. it seems obvious that no coun-
try could wish a more fundamental basis
of prosperity. + fat list Of record crops
and a lively foreign market have been at
the bottom of more than one boom in this
country's history They saved us from
the dumps last fall long before the war
orders" began tickling the stock market
and they promise to lead the way this fall
in a return to the good times of decade
ago. AS against their overwhelming
pressure for prosperity, affecting directly
the pocketbooks Of a third of the popula-
ton the traffic in munitions seems an in
cident of merely local interest.
There is just one more item in the PRES
ent programme of elf-congratulation
which deserves mention. Coincidently
with the governments crop report as OF
August has come the announcement that
the Interstate Commerce Commission has
decided TO grant an increase of rates to
the Western roads, affecting particularly
the grain-carrying roads Of the North
west. This should help decidedly to has
ten the diffusion Of the wealth that is to
pour in upon our farmers. 1t would seem
to be the last necessary drop of oil on the
machinery of national industry.
How brilliant the outlook compared with
that of year ago!

The Civic Centre Plans.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The history of the City Of New Yors
is replete with incidents of poor administra.
ton, and to the .regre. of New Workers the
buildings in which the governmental units
are housed are, with the exception of those
recently erected, such az the Municipal Build.
ing, evidence Of poor administration. Most
Of the buildings erected under typical Tam
many administrations were very much unde,
value Any buildings now to be erected would
doubtless be worth the money.
The plans for the new courthouse and Give
centre seemed to mark the emergence Of tho
greater city from the old m engagement and
from the chaos Of buildings supposed to be
indicative Of municipal thrift; in reality 4
sad showing Should not the City of Neg
York, the metropolis Of the new hemisphera
have buildings which would in every detail
reflect the beauty the size, the wealth and
the magnitude Of this giant?
The central idea in municipal architecture
in many of the most beautiful cities of Can
ada and Of Argentina was not carried out
with thought of parsimony nor possibly OF
saving a church which great powers would
defend, but rather the thought of municipal
ideslism and Of a beautiful civic centre as
an example to the rest Of the community wa
pre-eminent and reflected throughout the en-
tire scope and plan.
New York has no central buildings worthy
of the name, and the opportunity is be-
fore the people of showing that we can put
up buildings without graft, and with true
craftsmanship attempt TO rear an edifce
which will be surrounded by imposing marks
of civic pride and righteousness. c. w. L.

gas or as solution II has the great
advantage of being purely local IN erect
the products of decomposition being free
of toxicity, and while it is extremely de-
structive to organisms and their spores
it does little or no harm to the tissues OF
the body. For field use it is of singular
value. since it can he used as dry powder
and can be introduced conveniently INTO
the gauze pad of the first aid dressing. 1t
is, moreover, very cheap and easily pre-
pared. As the tests show that it is much
more powerful than any other germicide 1t
promises to prove Of singular service, not
only in the field, but wherever antiseptics
are used.

Starving the World.
70 the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: / wish to call your attention to a
phase of the food embargo against Germany
which seems to have escaped general consid-
Grafton.
While our grain is by England prevented
from reaching Germany. the same Germany
prevents its fertilizer from reaching Eng
land the United States and all neutral coun-
tries. Not only fertilizers, but chemicals
which are pumped out of the ground in Ger
many and not obtainable elsewhere. so far as
known, on the face Of the earth have been
sequestered by Germany since over year be-
fore the war.
Probably the yield of the crops of the
world is this year sl0OO00,00O less than it
would have been had not Germany by gov
eminent imperial decree embargoed this God
given fertilizer.
or course, these grains are still being
raised in quantities sufficient for all the
world But most farms are practically run
at a loss unless fortified after five years
cultivation. Animal fertilizer is not suffi-
cient and does not carry the chemicals for
continuous cultivation.
This being understood. how is England
more to be condemned than Germany Eng
land would starve Germany, and Germany
would starve the rest of the world.
Other products of the farms besides grains
are now raised at much less profit because
the fertilizer companies cannot get German
native chemicals.

The Mexican MIDDLE.

The lack Of a Mexican policy has cost
American lives The futile, resutless
Vera Cruz expedition contributed to the
keeping alive of anarchy across the Dor
der in which more American lives and
much American property have been lost,
and has brought this country at last to
the verge Of armed Intervention. No one
who knows President Wilson believes he
will sanction a new resort to arms while
there exists a possibility Of restoring
stable conditions in our neighbor-country
by any other means.
Of such possibility there is ever grow
ing doubt. American prestige has suffered
in Mexico in the months Of guerilla war
fare when American citizens. American
business men, have paid tribute to airy
little raider who chose dollars rather than
blood. The United States government is
unloved there and not unjustly held in
contempt. A provisional government
backed by this nation and the A. B. C..
powers, if it could be established under
such conditions. would have neither the
affection Of the people nor the loyalty Of
the fractional chiefs who might find them
selves forced to submit to it. 1t would be
an artificial creaton-the best, perhaps,
that conditions permitted, but of no value
in its own strength. It's only strength
would be in the backing of the United
States, in the ships and the men of this
country.
In the end, the very adoption Of a
definite policy toward Mexico, therefore,
argues acceptance of the probable neces-
sity for intervention, either immediate or
more remote. Mexico has proved unable
this inability being due partly to the
wishy -washy, illogical conduct Of this
country-to produce man strong enough
to bring settled government out Of chaos.
Other countries look to us, as big brother
to all the Americas, to settle affairs there.
There is plentiful evidence that that task
will not be done until this country tackles
it, and for our own good it must be
tackled promptly and vigorously
If Intervention can he avoided, no good
American will want it. But if the choice
prove to be between continuation of
existing conditions and American inter
vention, American regulation Of Mexican
affairs until a legally chosen Mexican gov
eminent can show itself competent to
handle them, it would be foolish counsel
to suggest the former course And if
American troops once again land at Vera
Cruz they should stay there and wherever
else in Mexico duty leads them until or
derby and stable government has been es-
tablished and there is a prospect that this
unfortunate country can take care of her
own business as well, say, as cuba did.
The United States is willing to go to
Vera Cruz with Mr.. Wilson again-but
it will not quit with him again nor tolerate
new policy of scuttle. Much Of Mexico's
misery is the result Of Mr. Wilson's fail
ure to face the Mexican facts. There
should be no more indecision and blrn-
dering
