THINK GERMANS
DREAD U. S. FLEET

BY Pae. and Int'l News Service.
LONDON, March Reports are
rife concerning the prospect of Ger
man naval offensive. So desperate a
move by the Kiel Fleet would be con-
ceivable In either of two events; a
fresh bid by the German armies for
the Channel ports, or a declaration of
war by the United States.
German naval critics have noted
with good deal OF anxiety, President
Wilson's recent declaration that the
American battle fleet was never
stronger nor better organized than
now and they evidently fear that ii q
junction we're affected between the
British and American fleets this com.
bined force could dominate not only
the North Sea, but the Baltic as well,
and link up few months hence with
the Russian battle fleet.
For Germany therefore to anticipate
such q junction by an offensive stroke
would be imperative. It would be a
case of now or never.
The view that with the assistance
OF frances dreadnought squadrons
which do not appear to be needed In
the Mediterranean, England should
long ago have entered the Baltic ant
forced the German fleet to come out
by Smelling the more exposed OF Ger
many's coast towns is widely held
amongst British naval men. They
think that with her Allies, England IL
quite strong enough to engage i'm of
fensive tactics.

UNCLE SAM AS SHIPBUILDER.

Shipbuilding is becoming one of the country's leading industries. We note the effect of it all over the Pa cific coast, where hundreds of ship yards are turning out vessels to take the places of those interned or repos- ling in Davy Jones' locker. A recent report of the department of com merce points out that altogether in the United States there are now build- ling AT vessels of 1,545,279 tons almost equal to the total for Great Britain, which is the leading ship building nation of the world.
 The Delaware shipyards alone have tonnage under construction exceed ling any shipping district in Great Britain, which is equivalent to any thing in the world. Ninety vessels are building there with an aggregate tonnage of 419,213. The nearest |competitor of the Delaware yards is the great British shipbuilding center |of Newcastle, with 401,926 tons. There is a possibility that the United States, after all, will resume its place among the maritime nations of the world, lost at the beginning of the Civil War and never regained. The young American nation was the greatest ship-building country in the
 world for many years and turned out vessels which outclassed the finest laid down in European yards. That
 was in the days of sail. Since the steamship, and particularly the steel vessel. came into vogue, wo have fall en behind at deplorable pace. One reason is that we failed to keep pace with modern methods of construction and another is that our government has neglected our merchant marine and offered little encouragement to ship builders. Even today when we are doing more business than any other country, we are forced to rely largely on foreign bottoms for our 
 It is encouraging, however, to note that the var has given new impetus to ship-building and if the govern .nent will make it possible for Ameri- can capital to compete on equal terms with foreign money, there is no ques- tion that within few years we shall have regained a moiety of the prestige which the American flag once held for us on the seven merchant seas.

purposes, an oligarchy. Under the leadership of Lloyd-George Great Bri- tain has become, for the first time, an oligarchy, if not a bind of abso- lute monarchy, and the British peo- pie evidently believe that only by such heroic measures as are involved in the reconstruction of the government can the struggle be carried on with the greatest effectiveness.
 But after all, Lloyd-George's dtc- tatorship is only temporary, and he can be disposed of at any time by the will of the people. In this sense the British people have surrendered no right. They have merely given George great emergency powers, and with them he is expected to accom- plish what the people demand. His absolutism rests on only one founda-

"Mr. Editor: Notice. headings
 of your papers and Seattle paper,
 why do you keep on mis-dating
 your news items. you say patron
 ize home industry, but don't try and
 give us news out of Seattle papers that is a week old under a false date. "A. ROUGHNECK."
 The dispatch referred to was in re- gard to the freeing of Frank Amato, who killed his brother in Portland, Ore, Dec. II. The Oregonian pub lished it December 12, and it was forwarded to the Prospector on that date by mail, reaching here the goth inst. We published it the 22nd. It was "filler," and of no particular importance to any one, unless it be persons of the discriminating mental jity of "Roughneck." A man with so much idle time on his hands could use it more profitably, we should judge by his chirography, than in carping criticism. For instance, he might attend the Valdez University, or cut wood for Everyman's Club, or shovel snow off some widow woman's walks,-or do thousand and one things besides find fault over things in which he has no concern or inter- est.
 Valdez, we regret to say, has few of these microscopic mentalities, with nothing to do but knock, and while the marshal's office ultimately removes them to Morningside, they are a pestiferous nuisance while they are in our midst.
 In passing we might observe that the person who sedulously searches the columns of the Prospector for er- TOTS will be richly rewarded. If we had the infallible, unerring discrimi- nation of our critics we would not be here tonight. It is, indeed, day lost when this paper does not receive from one to a dozen anonymous com |nunicatiOns advising us how to cOI,- duct our paper, our finances. our mo- als, or our family. Some are anus ling, some instructive, some scurril- |ous. some vulgar, and all useless. The same bug that causes a woman to peroxide her hair or a man to write poetry is visible in all of them. Ev cry editor who has been year in business in Alaska is so used to them that when he receives one it has ceaS- ed to excite him. It raises a passing spirit of envy in his breast for the profitable business Dr. Coe at Morn- ingside will ultimately enjoy-and he goes right on inviting criticism and receiving it in chunks.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20. 1e1s
LLOYD-GEORGE SUPREME.

Lloyd-George, England's new prime minister, has virtually arrogated to himself the authority of a dictator; and the significant fact of his assump- tion of autocratic powers is that his action is approved by the English pec- pie. Of the political upheavals in the various great powers at war, none to date has been so fraught with in- terest to us as that in England, al- though there are indications that Russia may emerge from its Roman off slumbers and France-a republic in name as we'll as in fact-is follow ing the British trend of opinion.
 The significance of the English change is to be found in the fact that England, like America, is a nation of individuaiism. Possibly it is this common Anglo-Saxon trait that causes Americans to watch England s movements with more than ordinary interest.
 It is the new premier's proposal to socialize the means of carrying on the war. His scheme is the essence of naturalization. AS in Germany, the individual will be nothing. It is only an aggregation of individuals that will count. The centralization of authority in the hands of few men who will possess powers almost as absolute as those of an ancient Roman triumvirate runs counter to the British idea of government. En- glishmen have been fighting from the days of King John and Runnymede, and even before. for individual rights and now, in the stress of war, they have voted to abandon them-tem- porarily.
 The war council will consist of five men, headed by the premier, but two of them will be kept fairly busy iE the two houses of parliament and are not expected to attend most of the councils sittings. Thus, three men, q British triumvirate, with more power vested in the premier than ever in the country's history, will practi- eally run the war and dictate the en- pire's policies.
 England realizes that a centraliza- tion of responsibility and effort is necessary in a great emergency. Ger many, whose form of government her fnrood fo ir,oi tot ha crisis, had the advantage of having been organized for war before the war began. It is a kind of truism that a democracy does not function properly on a war footing without reorganiza~ tion which makes it, for practical
