SEWARD, ALASKA FRIDAY, OCTOBER I3, 1916.

It is a funny thing, but the European will prob ably exercise greater influence the result of the presidential election next month than any other one cir cStance It is one of those questions which entail far deeper feeling than any question of tariff proectvlSm or similar oneS It touches sentiment and sentiment still rules the world And in spite of the tendency to- wards universal brotherhood socialism and the like the sentiment of patriotism is still strong ever Recent events in Europe even in the most sociastc circles have proved this to the u and in the United States the many foreign citizens have brought their love for the father lands with them There is use in trying to deny this Even when man Is absolutely loyal to the United States after adopting his loyalty be cOOred by the poit cal relation of the United States to the land of his brh or even of his parents birth Without the shadow of doubt there are hundreds of thousands of people in this country whose chief political aim is to have the United States and Great Britain combine They are inclined to think that any American who opposed to such plan IS not loyal American On the other hand the Germans of he United States would regard any step the direction of Britain as betrayal of themselves Both sides will be governed the election next month to great extent by these views.
 Many people seem to think that American citizens should not project into home politics questions that ap pear foreign but every country in the world does The pro-AlieS not making the allied cause an American question and the prO-GemanS not making the of the Central Powers question for the United States, but both sides are making the relations between the United States and other of the begerent Euro pean alliances an issue in home politics. and this is entire ly different matter Greece is now burst asunder by similar question: No doubt the people of Scandn- avia Holland and Spain similarly divided and know that the people of Switzerland certainly are and still each side in each of those countries is perfectly loyal to their own land.
 By his refusal to speak of his opinion on the pro-Ge vote Hughes is clearly deSrOuS of not alternating the big support he will probably get from that side His s shows that he realizes what strength it might bring him and what Strentgh might lose for him by aenat- ing the voters who pro-AIy But right wrong the European war has come home to us.
 In speaking of this it might be noted parentheticay that Alaska is remarkably free from antagonsms on this question: and we should be thankful for it.

 "In other words, duplicate sailings will be avoided and more frequent sailings can be maintained on the various routes, thus giving a better and more satisfactory service along the entire coast with the same number of vessels.
 "The Pacific Coast trade has in creased very materially on the Cali fornia, Puget Sound and Alaskan routes, and, under the separate man. agements, available vessels have not been sufficient to properly take care of the increasing trade.
 Under the management of the Pacific Steamship Company, operat- ing all of the vessels, the schedule and saiHngs of the vessels will be so ar ranged as to more adequately take care of this growing business, in the interest of the public, and to provide better and more frequent service along the entire coast
 Some solution of this problem was and neither company alone was able to solve it.

In military circles here the latest
movements Of Villa are being watch
ed with keenest interest. Officials
discern in the report OF capture OF
Torreon, Villas boldest stroke-a
smas hing blow at the army Of Cen
eraI Murguia In northern Chihuahua.
1 Murguia has the strongest force IN
| northern Mexico, estimated at 1900
\ men.
! With this army eliminated. the
| bandit chief would hold undisputed
sway in the north. BY the occupation y
| of Torreon, Villa paralyzes the rail
WAYS in the entire northern states OF
| Mexico. The city is at the converg-
| ence of net work Of lines from the
! lower United States border and north
| and west, and sewers communication
with Mexico City. 1t Is the center OF
a populous and rich district.
United States department agents
declare that Villa in person Is in COM
mand Of the Villistas at .Torreon,
| while others say he remained at
| Jiminez, directing operations, holding
| the railway line with reserve force.
Between Ortiz, south of Chihuahua
City and Torreon, Villa is in control
OF nearly two hundred miles OF the
National railway lines and occupying
| the towns Of Santa Rosalia, Mapimi,
Parral and Jimfnez.
Industries at Torreon owned by
Americans are the soap factory owned
by John Brittigham; three large cot
to mills by Mississippi capitalists;
bank by Dr. L. Bonnet; the Continen-
tai rubber factory by Ohioans; foun-
dry run by Chicago interests and the
Pearson interests have large lumber
mills.
After driving horse and coach
more than 100 miles, a refugee from
southern Chihuahua reached here to-
day.
"As I reached Santa Rosalia on the
twelfth, Villa had just taken posses
sion,'. ne told the authorities here.
i''. The viiiistas caught the garrison on
train and slaughtered every one OF
the three hundred men. Dead bodies
were still lying in the streets and
along the road. Salazar took command
of the bandit forces In the town as
Villa moved upon Jiminez. Villa told
the towns people he would take Tor
reon and then return to Chihuahua
City to get Murguia."
| General Murguia commanding the
garrison at Chihuahua City is making
all preparations for another siege. The
town is full of government troops. &C
cording to advices reaching here to-
| day, and CarranZa officials do not be-
!lieve the Villistas can take the north
