Colonel B. F. Willard, who has been mentioned as a probable candidate for election to congress from the Terri tory, stated to L. V. Ray recently that he considers it too early yet to come out with any announcement as to his intentions in the matter. He has ex- pressed his appreciation, however, of the actions of the Nome Republicans and others who have urged him to run. While speaking of politics it may be mentioned, perhaps, that the Gateway has had it pointed out that Delegate Wickersham did not make a hit with the working population of Anchorage. 1t is said that he declared himself to be flor MearS" no matter what people might say. The sugges- tion seems to be that the Delegate was rather inclined to endorse the railroad authorities on wage and oth- CT questions. This is mentioned for what it is worth.

SEATTLE, Dec. 1.-The news that the steamship Minnesota, which left this port for England with a cargo of war munitions about a fortnight ago, is now making for San Fran cisco at top speed has created a sen sation here. 1t is known that be fore she left Seattle she had her water line painted out and raised five feet to permit the carrying of a heav- fer cargo. It is assumed here that the crew considered her unsafe under those conditions in storm and that they have mutinied to compel her cap tain to return.

was waged Friday on the largest scale
in its history and under adverse cir
cumstances from the standpoint of
weather. British airmen, buffeting
banks of snow in the air, swept over
cities of Northern Belgium held by
the Germans and dropped bombs on
Ostend Bruges and other places.
Thirty-four aeroplanes and sea-
planes of the British Navy took part
in the operations, and all of them later
returned safely to their base without
casuties to their drivers, although
two of the machines were damaged.
The raid was made in order to pre-
vent the development of submarine
bases and establishments which might
further endanger British Warships and
merchantmen.
Although no submarines were seen

results, for considerable damage is
said to have been done to German
gun positions, railway lines and rail

psychology are set down for the mother
and educator-and the father-in use
fuI handbook, your Child Today and To-
morrow" by Sldonle M. Gutenberg Ulp-
pincott's, Phlladelphla). To the more ex-
perienced educator the material offered
will probably not be so new, but It's sys-
tenn Of presentation will give even the
specialist something to which he can
easily refer as the dleticlan does to her
cook book. But Mrs. Greunberg's book
will give many helpful suggestions to the
Young educator and the willing mother,
who feel that the responsibility due the
coming generation is great enough TO care
for all practical suggestions mother
herself-and one Of the modern type at
that-Mrs. Gutenberg has reached many
of her conclusions through experience,
which ia always an asset to the educa-
tor. Whether II be a question Of lying,
''being afraid" imagination, will reason
or the many puzzling phases of adolesc-
ence, the author speaks with the knowl-
edge OF the true psychologist and real
student OF the child himself.
