COUNTRY'S WEALTH GROWING.
Beginning Third Year Of War Finds
U. S. at High Tide Of Prosperity.

New York, July 30.-'rhe foreign
cataclysm, now entering upon it's
third year, finds the United States at
the high tide Of prosperity. While
Europe's powers continue their ex-
penditures of blood and treasure IN
incalculable volume, financial en-
perts point out that the wealth of
this country is piling up SO generally
and on such solid foundation as to
remove all apprehension Of imitation.
Bank clearings, bountiful crops,
earnings Of railroads and industrial
companies, the enormous output of
steel and iron, foreign trade bal
ance for the fiscal year of $2,136,-
0o,o00-these and countless other
signs point to the unparalleled pres
tige Of the only leading nation Of the
world not at war.
The course of events in this coun-
try after peace shall have been de-
clared continues to engage the atten-
tion Of economists. In the small mi
nority are those who declare that the
end OF the conflict will be followed
by a tremendous inflow of foreign
produces, to the great detriment Of
home industries. Others profess to
believe that Europe's peace or recon-
Struction demands will more than
neutralize the aggregate Of her Of
ierings to our markets.
II is assumed also that cessation of
hostilities will inaugurate a heavy re-
purchasing movement in our securi-
ties by foreign investors who deemed
1t necessary Or wise to liquidate while
war was ra"'ng. TO what extent this
'....y may be able to hold the for
r'Sn trade already gained and yet to
be acquired, seems problematical.
Leaders Of finance and industry hold
that the cost Of labor and materials
will weigh heavily in the solution Of
this mOmentous question.
The coming week is expected to
bring development OF interest in the
railway labor situation. Industrial
conditions aside from loCni disturb
ances, are more than ordinarily en-
couraging. Labor is reported to be
undergoing further "liquidation" at
some of the war plants, but wage
schedules remain unchanged, except
in instances where higher rates have
been granted.

Why Physical Wcaklings I?
(Richmond Virginia. }


There is much food for thought in
the astonishing results Of the physi-
cal examinations OF the young Mill
tiamen. The fact that from 20 to
40 per cent of the members of State
military organizations were unable to
pass successfully the examinations,
must mean one Of two things, that
they have been overtrained, or that
they were in no condition in the first
place to become members Of the mi
'litia.
Every man before he can be en-
rolled as a member Of a military or
ganization. must pass a physical eX-
animation. The result Of this exam
ination shows that we have very
large percentage Of physically i'm
perfect men In the State militia.
Does this mean that our young
men are not taking proper care Of
themselves? Does it mean that Vir-
ginians are growing weaker physi-
cally?
There should be an awakening!
Virginia can i'll afford to have her
sons grow into physical weaklings.
What are our gymnasiums, our
swimming pools. our Fairgrounds
good for. If not to aid in the develop
ment of the physical man?

w. I. SALE POSTPONED BY DANES
Must BE Decided by Election-Does
Not Disturb Washington.

Copenhagen, Denmark, Aug. "a
The Landsthing, sitting in commit
tee, this afternoon adopted a resolu-
ton that If the sale of the Danish
West Indies cannot be postponed un-
til after the war the question shall
be settled by general elections The
resolution was adopted by 80 to 7.
Three members refrained from vot-
ing and 13 were absent.
1t is expected that the new consti-
tuition will go into effect when the
general elections are obtained. AS
It will be the first time that an cleo
ton will be held under the new con-
stitution. it is believed preparations
for the election will take a long
time, and it probably cannot be held
before the beginning of the middle
of October. Some influential poll
ticians express the opinion that the
result of the elections will be that
the new rigsdag will ratify the treaty
Of sale with the United States.
To Make No Difference.
Washington, Aug. Ex-senator
Stone, chairman Of the Senate for
eign relations committee, announced
tonight that action Of the Danish
Landsthing in rejecting the proposal
to sell the Danish West Indies to the
United States would make no differ
ence in the attitude of the United
States, nor cause any delay in tio
effort to have the treaty providing
for purchase Of the islands ratified
here as soon as possible.
'"The action of the Danish upper
house Of Parliament" said Senator
Stone, "does not mean final rejec-
ton"

Iditarod pioneer., 1916-04-08

new bill has been introduced and to make provision for the proper policing of the waters adjacent to Alaska shores.
 No one will quarrel with the department as to its endeavors along these lines. Alaskans more than any others are interested in rghtful efforts in this direction, and they should receive the cooperation of our officials and the legislature But these indus tries are peculiar in respect-they contribute less in ar indirect way to the upbuilding of the ter rory than any other industry, while rcapjng enor- nous benefits The canneres along the Alaska coasts are operated in great part by men who reside elsewhere; the men employed by them are brought into the country each season and returned to the Outside at its cIose the supplies used by them in the season work also are brought here by them. Prac- tcaly no business man and but few Iaborers oE Alaska are benefited one cent by the enormous salmon-canning industry which annually takes from Alaskan waters millions of dollars worth of fish products which would seem to be in some measure the natural heritage of the residents of this territory Il is for this reason that what might look like dual taxation to the federal authorities IS poor recom- pense at best for the immense privileges enjoyed by these men.
 Delegate Wckersham is said to be working stren- uousIy for the defeat of this measure. No man in congress is better able to speak aut2ortatve!y or the subject of Alaska fisheries than be- and there is little doubt that his words will carry great weight.
