SOCIAL IDEALS
 OF AMERICANS
 SHOW WAR VIEW
University President Sets Forth Logically the Elements Entering
 into Conflict.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-(SpeciaD- Charles W. Eliot. president Emeritus of Harvard. in a letter to the Times says:
 "The American social ideals. ... may be coneisely stated as follows; 1. A mobile social state in which the individual is free to do his best and to enjoy the fruits of his eff forts. 2. Universal education, not confined to childhood: 9. The habit ual expectation of more truth, light, and good for mankind; 4. Publicity; 3. Efficient through freedom and a discipline in which free men coop crate. 6. Widely diffused private property protected by equal laws.
 Any thoughtful person who gets firm hold upon these American ideals-religious. political and social will have no difficulty in deciding Co which side in the great European war his own hopes and wishes tend. Great Britain and France have achieved nearly the same religious freedom and toleration which the North American republic has achiev- ed. The British empire as a whole offers the most striking example of religious toleration.
 "The political ideals of Great Bri- tain. France. Italy and Belgium are substantially the same as those of America. .... on the other hand, ] the central monarchies and their educated classes accept the divine right Of kings and the exercise by ] diylnely commissioned and perma. nept executives of powers which in America can be exercised only by representative assemblies of short tenure.
 "In Germany the theory of the state as the possessor or owner of the subject. with an absolute claim on his life and services. irrespective of the subjects interest and happi- ness, is the dominating principle in the national organization. In short the chief Prussian ideas of govern ment and society are the very oppo- site of those held by the American people. If one set be sound and beneficial the other must be false
 and harmful.
 By taking active part with France. Belgnm and Great Britain in support of their ideals, America would effectively support her own and defend herself against possible future attack on her territory or her institutions. In such gigantic struggle in which the future of civ nization is in play. it is worthy of America 10 conrne herself Co am in- effective vindication of neutral rights at sea. and to moderate charitable giving? In the great war France Belgium and Great Britain gre fight ing the battle of public liberty and
 justice. and of human rights. lt is lime for Americans to ask them selves. "How can we help2'

 Just there is belief among our Pacific coast that the government railroad being built meet Seward the southern coast of Alaska. with Fairbanks far away in the interior Northwest will be far enough advanced this year to open up the great Matanuska coal fields There are 77OOO acres of coal lands in that field alone of which 75OO Is set aside @ government reserve for production of coal for use of the navy in waters of the Pacific This will leave 695O0 acres to be allotted under bid ding to individuals and corporations single alot ment to exceed 2,560
 Our navy now uses 45OOOO tons of coal per an- for coaling in Pacific waters, including Hawaiian and Philippine ports for which we pay S6 per ton at San Francisco mostly for coal from the State Of Washington There had been O statement that Alaska coal was not equal to the fuel already in for ma ing of steam. That statement has been conclusiyely disproved Those In tho coal business in Alaska and along Puget Sound believe that this Matanuska coal be delivered with profit at S5 per ton on the docks Of Seattle.
 Year after year Alaska looms larger and larger to view In It's riches of gold, copper coal, pro- ducts of the and possibilities in agriculture Con- sder the matter of gold alone and find that since the first mining Of 1t in Alaska. in 1SS0 there has been $2s1 O5OOOO of that mineral produced in that Territory. Alaska has produced in gold more than thirty-six times the price in gold, which S7,200, OOO paid by the United States to Russia for the whole country of Russian America" in 1867
 It Is pleasant to believe that before the next lock up of winter there will be communication by rail Co bring the Matanuska coal to along all Pacific Coast. All the cities will be greatly benefited by this new supply They certainly an need lt
