.FARTHEST NORTH
 MAGAZINE OUT
IRepublIcan A. p. Leased wireI

WASHINGTON, Nov. "A farthest north magazine. published near the Arctic Circle. has made its appearance under the title "The Eskimo" and is devoted to the interests of Eskimos of the Northwestern District of Alaska It is published at Nome by teachers and others of the United States bureau of education who have been formally congratulated by r, r. Ciaxton. United States commissioner OF eGucation, for their enterprise.
 Tn the leading article of it's first is- sue. written by Superintendent Walter o. Shields of the education bureau it says:
 "The Eskimo is not dependent On the contrary he is. even in his present condition. real and vital factor in the wealth of the country. He has never received a ration from the government {:
 he can support himsef-. not always according 10 our standards il is true. but it is better for him to eat strictly
 native food than for him to learn to expect the government 70 support him
 The vail so often heard from ig- norant but presumably charitable people, Why don't you give the poor people some food?' If needed. would
 make paupers out Of a self f-supporting and noble race. We are proud of the
 fact that we have not fed the Eskimo
 We are proud of him as a man because he feeds himself
 One reason why primitive races SC | often have been pushed to the wall by
 the white race has been that the white race have coveted and needed the land As far as we can see, for years to come the white man wiii not make any attempt to push the Eskimo off his | part of the map. While there will un- l doubtedly be developments in mining yet for a long time to come the Eskimo
 will have plenty of room in Northern
 Alaska. Therefore, even if this nor thern part of Alaska, through some 1 unexpected development, should be | come desirable for a large white popu | lation, we believe that with what de- | velopment the Eskimo has already
 received. and the additional develop | ment that even five years more of un. disturbed possession of his northern
 businesses will give him, he will be well | fitted 10 meet advanced economic con- | ditions.

GERMANS ALONE KNOW WHEN WAR
 WILL END, SAYS H|CH OFFICER

There may be various influences al work which they know nothing of. there is the constant talk heard here of internal troubles in Germany. but the army officer only looks at the map" He still sees long road ahead before the victory he has in mind can become reality. The military defeat of Germany and that is the only de- feat the army looks forward to. means an invasion of the German empire. General Sir OMoore creagh, the dis tinguished Irish "V. C." has said.
 The Indian Lancers may never ride through the Brandenburg gates, but the end Of the war will not come until II is possible for them to do so.'
 Things are going so well at the west ern front that it is difficult even for any words of warning to dull the spirit of elation in London. With Germany on the defensive 1t Is felt here that the enemy is no longer fighting 10 retain all he seized in the first great on slaught of the war. but is rather strug- giing to hold as much as possible un- til peace shall come. There is tho predicted shortening of the westerI llne" which Londoners confidently lool for from day to day.

PERKINS SHOWS MIR.
 WILSON EXAMPLE IF
 WHAT WILL HAPPEN
Special to The Republican,
 By GEORGE w. PERKINS

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-At Shadow Lawn last Saturday MT. Wilson, in crit icizing the republican position on the tariff, said:
 These gentlemen make predictions about what is going to happen after the war which are absolutely incred- ible. l wonder that they can make them with straight faces. They say that these nations, with 25,000.00O men devoted to destruction-tneir own de- struction included-constituting more than 30 per cent of the skilled me chanical force of those nations. are nevertheless somewhat secretly en- gagged in manufacturing a great body of products which are going to be dumped on us after the war. Now they are struggling for their breath in the Titanic struggle TOT their life. If they can get anyDody but them selves to believe this. why, then, per haps we ought to make ready for IL; but they don't know what is going to happen after the war; l don't know what is going to happen after the war, and you don't.
 The only thing that we can do is to prepare the impartial eyes and meth ods of inquiries which will find out for us what is happening as fast as it happens. and then deal with the facts as they arise"
 I call Mir.

Evidently these goods have been somehow secretly" manu- | factured while a large percentage of | Germany's mercantile force has been ] at war.

DEMOCRATIC TALES DENIED
 BY MANY PROGRESSIVE MEN

of the Roosevelt vote in 1912 will be added to the Hughes vote in 1916. In some states the percentage will not run so high, but in no state will less than eighty-five per cent of the progressive vote support Hughes.
 T am not making this statement from guess work. l have corresponded with thousands of progressives in this western territory, and l have had di rect reports from practically every western state by men sent out from these headquarters to study local sit nations and report actual facts In few states, of which Utah is a type where at the outset it appeared that the progressive vote was so disaffected that the state might go democratic, ac- tive organization work has been done among progressiVes with the result that the progressive vote supporting Hughes will average with the other states.
 "The determined effort being made in these latter days of the campaign to line up the progressive vote for Mir. Wilson demonstrates two facts first, that MT Wilson is desperately in need of that vote and realizes that without ! it he cannot win; second, that the democratic management realizes that
 the overwhelming percentage of the progressive vote is for Mir. Hughes. If Mir. Wilson did not need the progress sive vote badly as his managers now confess progressive speakers on spe- cial trains would not be hurrying l through middle western states. And if ] he has this vote now as his managers try to make it appear, he would not
 have to be going after it with a drag net.
 1 50 far as the progressive vote is | concerned, we are ready to go to the | polls. This is an intelligent vote and 1 cannot be stampeded to the support of
 a man whose twistings and turnings
 whose vacillations and indecisions have made it difficult for even traditional | democrats to follow him"

 With the turning of the tide on the western hattlefelds there was natural ly a disposition here to feel that hos tiiities soon would be over. The of ficers and men of the army do not share these views. however. and are constantly cautioning the people at home against the icea that the issue will be settled within the next few months.
 From conversations with scores of officers familiar with the situation at the front it can be stated that they do not expect the war 10 end at the earl fest before next autumn There are many who believe there are two more years of fighting before the allied ma - tions.
 We have got a long way to go. said General Sir William Robertson. kltchener's successor. a few days ago. And we must be ready to go all the way" he added. Plight to a finish Is the order. There must be no slacken- ing off. On the contrary, there must be a great tightening up"
 No good soldier will make a definite prediction as to the end of the war.
 We must be prepared to go on for a period of time which it is impossible to estimate said Sir William. And that expresses the opinion of the army.
