AVOIDING WAR.

Some Americans are alarmed be cause President Wilson has taken firm stand against Germany in the matter of the dispute over the sub. marine warfare, but while there is always a possibility that war may result. it is not probable by any means
 In the first place. it is certain that most of the people of the United States are so set against war that congress would probably not ratify any action taken by the Pres ident in the matter of declaration of war. In the second place, Ger many does not want war with the United States and will probably use every diplomatic effort to avoid it. When two countries are not anx- ious for war, it is quite certain they will remain at peace with each other
 The thing that has aroused the fears of the peace-lovers of the United States was the resignation of Secretary Bryan, who has been a sort of a safety-valve at Wash ngton. II is generally conceded that MT. Bryan is responsible for the way that the United States has been making peace treaties with other countries. These peace treaties make it almost impossible for this country to go to war with a nation which has signed such a treaty within one year after dispute has arisen,
 While Germany has not signed that treaty, she has placed the stamp of approval upon it, and if diplo- matic relations between the United States and Germany reach a danger ous stage, it will probably be possi- ble to put into effect the provision that the disagreement must first be submitted to a peace commission. By the time the peace commission has finished it's work, the real dis pute will probably have been a mat ter of little or no importance, and war can easily be avoided.
 President Wilson is man of much good judgment, and man in whom the people of the United States have much confidence. But there are some of his most sincere admir- CTS who delieve that he erred in his asking Germany to refrain from mak ing submarine warfare on vessels flying flags of the allies, simply be- cause they may be carrying Amer ican passengers. The place for American passengers in time of war is on American vessels, and though everyone will agree that Germany should not molest passenger vessels, regardless of the country to which they belong, it must be admitted that it is question to be settled by the nations directly involved, and not by nation having no finger in the pie.
 But President Wilson is a diplo- mat and he probably knows what he is doing. One thing is certain, and that is that he will not go out of his way to get the country into war, though by some little misstep he may cause us much unnecessary trouble

Tolovana to Have
 A Wireless Plant

Charles L. Stevens left for the Tolovana camp by way of the Olnes trail Thursday for the purpose of setting up the new wireless plant belonging to Falcon Joslin, which was taken there last spring before the snow went off the ground
 As soon as the plant is set up, it will work in connection with the signal corps wireless plant in this city, and will put the camp in di- rect telegraphic communication with Fairbanks. It is understood that special press rates will be granted, so that the local newspapers will get news regularly from the new camp.

GOOD TIMES EXPECTED.

Photographic dispatches state that beginning this morning the wages of 50.O0O employees of the various big companies, including the Stand ard Oil, will have an increase of wages of about 20 per cent. This is one of the most encouraging pieces of news that has been re- ceived from the Outside of late, for it indicates that there is certainly tendency for times to improve
The Alaska citizen., 1915-08-02

Since the present war started. the people of the United States have been feeling the effects of hard times to a greater extent than for many years. for industries of many kinds have suffered by the cutting off of much of the commerce with the old world But it takes time for things to adjust themselves. and if the war should last ever so long. it's most depressing effect would soon wear off, and the people of the ing out their own commercial saliva tion
 Of course, when the war stops. times are certain to get prosperous at once, for the countries that have been devastated by the hand of war, must rebuilo and get supplies that can only be purchased in this country. There will be flow of money in this direction which will get in circulation in the United States and promote general pros perity.
 There are many who still insist that the war will come to an end within the next few months, as none of the warning nations seem to like the idea of another winter cam paign. If this be true, next year will be a good year for everybody in this country. and the prosperity will certainly be felt even to the most remote parts of the nation.

Canon City, Colo, June 25.-Harry

night took the step on the gallows
drop that ended his life. A career of
lawlessness, marked by half hun.
dred crimes, was closed when he
