It is not only an event of striking nature but is of some real significance in showing the huge task confronting the Allies in their effort to starye Germany The Deutschland may be the beginning of the end of the war Most likely not one of the beIIigerent nations could afford to continue the slaughter of it's men at the present rate For either side now to force the other back any considerable distance might the loss millions of lives The allied nations have hoped to force peace by bockadng Germany and ii this blockade be offset by submarines it may happen that the futty of the will be admitted and peace honorable to asdes be effected This would be the hap piest elimination generally speaking that could occur Failure of either group to defeat the other might serve as

SEWARD. ALASKA TUESDAY, JULY H. l9i6

It is impossible sometimes to avoid Keeling that the government of the United States is inclined to look at every man in Alaska as potentially thief and land grabber No one yet knows what the future policy o1 Washington will be with respect to the lands along the government railroad but there is mavoidaby present feeling that the government wants to get the last nickel before renQuishng title to anything. It IS fine sent ment that the government represents the people but in re- membering the whole people the government sometimes seems to forget individuals This is not true o1 one ad ministraton more than another Not one of them has ever apparently been able to grasp the idea that the men
 who made Alaska and who spent their best years here are deserving of the least compensation It true that when they get old and helpless they go to the Pioneer home at Sitka or draw twelve dollars so month or better still driven mad by their hardships and disappontmentS they can bask in the buted smiles and sunshine of the Imatc asylum at Momngside But can anyone tell why it is that all governments seem to regard individual cit- zens as land stealers?
